Liu Huan: “………”
He had miscalculated, forgetting that a friend’s elder relative in the chat group had ties to his grandfather, and they got along well.
No matter the case, the cat meme had now spread within their group, and very soon, it gained unexpected fame among younger groups with impressive speed.
However, the Shushu meme was strictly kept within the family circles, mainly because most of the images had Ruan Shu’s name on them. So, everyone who knew about it just kept it for their personal collection without sharing it elsewhere.
But how popular did the cat meme become?
Ruan Ling’an had just finished training at school and was about to relax with a game when he saw his dorm chat light up. Suddenly, Rong Jun sent a cat meme.
Staring at the familiar, clear and silly blue-eyed cat, Ruan Ling’an: “………”
He took a deep breath, almost doubting his own eyes. Then, Rong Jun sent a few more cat memes in rapid succession.
Ruan Ling’an: “………”
There was no mistaking it. It was the very cat they owned.
Rong Jun: “This meme is so popular right now! It’s too cute! Real men should have this kind of meme!”
Rong Jun: “Cat waving hello.jpg”
Rong Jun: “Aw, look at those pink little paws; I feel like I could just nibble on them.”
As the cat meme spread, no one thought of linking it to a star beast. After all, in this day and age, how could there still be such a delicate creature? A single mosquito was probably bigger than it, right?
So, everyone assumed that someone had just imagined this creature and drawn it. Given today’s advanced technology, some people could indeed bring to life creatures from their imagination.
But this little cat was just too adorable—it made people’s hearts flutter.
He Qi: “Where did you find this? What breed is it? I’ve never seen anything like it.”
An Lan: “It’s probably just made-up? But it’s really cute; I’m saving this meme.”
He Qi: “This kind of cat—I could swallow it in one bite. It must be so soft and squishy.”
Rong Jun: “Right? And when it fluffs up in anger, it looks like a dandelion, hahaha…”
Rong Jun: “Angry cat.jpg”
An Lan: “Is that supposed to be angry? Why do you guys look so ugly when you’re mad, but when it’s mad, I just want to tease it.”
He Qi: “Whoever came up with this idea is a genius.”
Ruan Ling’an: “Haha…”
Rong Jun: “What’s up?”
He Qi: “Why do I sense a bit of sarcasm from you?”
An Lan: “I thought you weren’t reading the messages. Who upset you this time?”
Rong Jun: “Curious cat.jpg”
Rong Jun was applying the memes he’d just learned in real-time, mainly because they were just too cute.
He Qi: Cat waiting.jpg
An Lan: Cat being obedient.jpg
Honestly, though each meme had a slightly different expression, in all three, the cat stared directly into the camera with its big, clear blue eyes, as if waiting for someone to speak.
It was… so well-behaved.
Ruan Ling’an: “………”
He stared at the cat memes with a complex expression. It was just…
Really strange.
This was his little sister. Ruan Ling’an had seen Ruan Shu’s star beast form before, so there was no way he could mistake it. But could someone please explain what was going on here?
Why had his little sister become a meme?!
And it had even spread into his dorm group chat.
Since Ruan Ling’an fell silent, the other three roommates didn’t think much of it and continued using the cat memes. They hadn’t been big on using memes before, but this cat was just too addictive.
Ruan Ling’an didn’t respond, not because he didn’t want to, but because his grandfather suddenly called him.
“What? You came to my school?”
He paused before adding, “Grandpa, who did you come with?”
His grandfather’s booming voice came through, “Who else? It’s Shushu; she wanted to come see you.”
Ruan Ling’an kept a straight face. “Got it.”
He couldn’t imagine why Ruan Shu wanted to visit him, considering he didn’t think he was all that close to her.
But even as he complained inwardly, Ruan Ling’an quickly grabbed his jacket and headed out.
In the campus of the First Military Academy, Ruan Shu was holding her grandfather’s hand, clutching a small basket in the other, her round eyes curiously taking in the massive school.
The first time she visited, it was with her father. Back then, she had been too timid and too worried that her third brother didn’t like her, so she hadn’t really taken in the sights of the school.
But now, with her courage having grown just a bit, she felt bold enough to look around, taking in everything while staying close to her grandfather.
The school buildings were so tall and vast that the whole place seemed endless. It didn’t feel like a school to her but rather like a bustling city.
And all the students passing by wore uniforms that exuded a noble aura.
The uniforms of the First Military Academy resembled military attire, fitting for a school with military affiliations. The uniform lent the students an air of elegance and pride, making them look smart and distinguished.
Ruan He was proudly introducing his well-behaved granddaughter to the history of the school, his eyes filled with pride.
After all, he had graduated from this very academy.
The students here were outstanding, and there wasn’t a single mediocre one among them. Only top students, carefully selected from all the star regions, could enter the First Military Academy.
Everyone in the Star Beast Empire knew that the students at this academy were essentially reserves for the major military legion. In other words, getting into this school was essentially a golden ticket into the Imperial Legion.
Ruan Shu followed closely beside her grandfather, listening attentively. From time to time, her eyes and mouth opened wide in amazement.
Engrossed in her grandfather’s stories, Ruan Shu didn’t notice that everyone who passed by gave them a discreet glance.
Ruan He noticed, but he didn’t pay it much mind.
His aura carried the imposing presence of someone in authority, so no one dared to approach or disturb them.
