Chapter 44
Last night, due to drowsiness, Xiao Shi accidentally urinated outside the litter box when going to relieve himself in the middle of the night.
Yi Ming, who has an obsession with cleanliness, saw this scene when he got up to drink water, and immediately blew up in the house...
"Jiang Wei, come look at the mess your son has made!!"
Jiang Wei opened the door, glanced at the floor, and then sleepily threw a roll of toilet paper at him, "He's just a kid, you used to pee outside the toilet when you were little too... Here, just wipe it up..."
Yi Ming caught it with pursed lips: "I'll wipe it, why bring up embarrassing moments from the past?"
Jiang Wei held back a laugh: "My apologies, Young Master Yi, you've worked hard."
Yi Ming squatted down, mumbling as he wiped the floor for Xiao Shi. After finishing, he suddenly felt inspired and grabbed a pen, doodling on the toilet paper...
The winding strokes looked quite abstract, like a "simple drawing". Yi Ming had drawn a dog, which was undoubtedly meant to be a caricature of Xiao Shi.
Merely drawing Xiao Shi in such an ugly way didn't seem to satisfy him, so Yi Ming enthusiastically combined it with some text.
What he wrote for Xiao Shi was a quatrain, and if read carefully, it even had some rhyming:
"In this house lives a dog named Xiao Shi,
Peace and quiet are a rarity,
I long for the day it goes astray,
So I, the brother, can reign supremely."
The next day, when Jiang Wei got up and saw the toilet paper left on the dining table, she couldn't stop laughing. She found it hilarious, so she carefully "tore" off Yi Ming's masterpiece and tucked it into her shoulder bag.
"Look at this... do you think you can appreciate it?"
Jiang Wei smiled wryly and handed the toilet paper to her.
The girl took it with both hands and stared blankly for a long while, lost in thought.
Watching her reaction, Jiang Wei couldn't help but wonder if she had been too disrespectful.
The girl had wanted Yi Ming's autograph, but she had mocked her with a piece of toilet paper instead, one bearing an unsightly doggerel poem...
"I'm sorry, classmate... Let me take this back and find something better for you, like the scratch paper he used for math problems..."
"Don't move!" The girl's sudden shriek made Jiang Wei immediately retract her hand.
Jiang Wei looked at her in shock, only to see the girl cradling the toilet paper, her eyes downcast and tears threatening to fall: "Such an outstanding poem, it deserves to be celebrated... I believe this 'autograph' is truly one of a kind. I'll get it laminated and keep it by my bedside..."
Jiang Wei: "..."
Are you being serious?
This world seems too crazy...

After calming the girl down, Jiang Wei was finally able to sit and watch the competition peacefully.
Due to space constraints, D University's venue only had a few simple obstacle courses. A few experienced students would showcase some skills throughout the event to energize the atmosphere, but each segment would be conducted with safety precautions in mind.
At the sound of a whistle, Yi Ming sped off like the wind on his beloved American Trek Superfly 5.
Screams instantly erupted from the crowd.
In this moment, Yi Ming was no longer the mischievous, casual-looking guy he usually was.
A different soul was rapidly burning within him...
