Before every big exam, the students of Tongwen Academy come bearing the finest pastries, taking turns to bow solemnly before Scout.
Scout doesn't know what a scholar is, or what it means to top the imperial exams. Come on, he's a kitten. He doesn't need to ace any exams. All he cares about is whether he looks handsome today, and whether the tribute cakes are sweet enough.
Still, he thought, since they were kind enough to bring him treat, he'll wish them success.
After all, their palms are warm. Warm like the cakes. Warm like the sun. And he likes that.
