Why bother with dating when you already have a cat?

Upon seeing the notification in the live chat, Bubble immediately took action.

……

On the other side...

The little fish has quit the game.

She wandered into Ai Qing's bedroom and peeked in. She found him leaning against the headboard, scrolling through his phone, so she jumped onto the bed.

"Hey, hey, be gentle." Ai Qing looked at Xiao Yu with a helpless expression. "Are you done?"

"Okay, it's over!"

"Did we lose?"

"We won! We got the chicken dinner!" Xiaoyu flashed him a peace sign, then happily shared with Ai Qing, "Brother, you don't know, it's such a pity you didn't see it just now."

"I was almost dying from the poison gas outside the safe zone, but instead of getting into the vehicle to enter the safe zone, I shot and knocked down someone on the other side who was about to throw a grenade."

"Then that person's grenade killed everyone on the other side!"

"Am I amazing!"

"That's really impressive." Ai Qing clicked her tongue, not expecting Xiao Yu to pull such a stunt in the final round. "Then why didn't you continue playing?"

"Didn't we talk about this before?"

"You can only play three rounds, but if you win, you'll get an extra round as a bonus."

"Um... can I save it for tomorrow?" Little Fish asked expectantly. "I'll probably turn back in a little while, and I won't have time to play another round."

"also."

"My brother is the best!"

"Praise me if you want, but don't try to get all over me." Ai Qing quickly pushed away the little fish that was jumping on her and sighed.

"Then why can I lie on my brother's body when I turn into a cat?"

"There's a saying that men and women shouldn't touch each other," Ai Qing said seriously. "When boys and girls communicate and interact, they should know to maintain a certain social distance; that's a matter of politeness."

"What kind of social distance should a brother and sister maintain to be considered polite?" Xiaoyu asked curiously.

"Um... anyway, you can't just pounce on me all the time."

"But I've seen videos where brothers and sisters can do that."

"What kind of video is that?" Ai Qing expressed reasonable doubt.

"I don't know, I didn't save it, I just saw it on the page."

“Cough… a lot of the videos are acted out and exaggerated, you can’t believe them all,” Ai Qing reminded her. “Instead of watching videos, I think you’d be better off playing more games.”

"But I've seen online that playing video games is a bad habit," Xiaoyu said softly. "Brother, you don't let me play for too long either, do you?"

“There’s a saying that goes too far,” Ai Qing said. “Many things are like that; doing nothing at all or doing everything are extreme cases.”

"It's the same with playing video games."

"Or rather, a person's form of entertainment."

"If a person's life has no entertainment at all, or if they spend the whole day in entertainment, then there is definitely something wrong with that."

"Our lives should be balanced. Like me, I have a fixed time to write every day, and I relax in my spare time. This is a healthier way to live."

"As for playing video games, there are many reasons why it has been criticized. In fact, things have improved a lot in recent years. It used to be much worse."

"As long as the time is kept within a reasonable range, playing games is a pretty good form of entertainment."

"Of course, the key is moderation. This is very important. Staying up all night playing games is definitely not good."

The little fish nodded, feeling that it had learned something new.

Moreover, she gradually discovered that many things on the internet are quite extreme.

Every time I read it, I feel like what it says makes a lot of sense.

After she talked to Ai Qing and listened to Ai Qing's explanation, she finally understood what the problems were.

Moreover, Ai Qing doesn't explicitly criticize any particular viewpoint. Instead, she seriously analyzes the pros and cons of a matter with her, giving her a general framework for thinking about the whole thing.

These all served as a protective shell for Xiaoyu's mind, preventing her from being influenced by certain online comments.

For example, she often sees posts from girls talking about the ten details of a good man and the ten characteristics of a bad man. Compared to Ai Qing, she feels that none of them really apply.

But for some reason, she keeps clicking "dislike" on this kind of content, yet it keeps being pushed to her, so now she just ignores it.

"Ok?"

After chatting with Xiaoyu, Ai Qing opened the author's backend and habitually checked the data for this book.

As a result, they discovered that there were suddenly many more comments in the backend.

At first glance, he was so shocked that his eyes widened, and then he turned to look at the little fish.

But by this time, the little fish had exhausted its warmth and turned back into a kitten, secretly snuggling into his arms.

Chapter 121 Hello, I am the author

The comment section for "My Childhood Sweetheart Will Turn into a Cat" has always been relatively quiet.

Since the book's release, there have been approximately four hundred comments.

His performance, after breaking through to the premium level and reaching 3500, has almost stopped increasing.

On the one hand, the traffic brought by the recommendation slots has been basically exhausted, and relying solely on the natural growth of collections will certainly not be able to grow as rapidly as before.

On the other hand, the plot of this book also experienced its biggest climax, which was when the male and female protagonists learned each other's secrets and eliminated the biggest information gap barrier.

Furthermore, due to the pull of the summer vacation storyline, subscriptions began to drop.

Until recently, with the male and female leads about to start university, they finally reconciled, and the sweetness level started to soar, with subscriptions rising again.

However, it's unlikely that performance will continue to improve without referrals and traffic generation.

Under these circumstances, his comment section averages about six or seven comments per day.

The chapter title in the main text is approximately one hundred.

These are all relatively normal situations.

But right now, looking at the dozens of new comments in the background, all of them were generated in just the last half hour.

Moreover, most of it was just hype and had nothing to do with the plot of the novel itself, which was obviously not right.

[Brother-in-law!]

"You have a younger sister too?"

Does your sister have a boyfriend?

Your sister is playing PUBG.

[Your sister betrayed you! She's promoting your book on the streamer, hahaha!]

[The Mo family army has come to inspect.]

Just finished watching the live stream, the girl is so cool!

[The host is reading your novel! And reading it aloud in its entirety, it's hilarious!]

Search for "Foam" on Bilibili; it's the one who usually plays PUBG.

Is this how you treat your readers? Where are your updates? Where is your sincerity? Where is the plot? Where is your sister's WeChat?

[Hurry up and let your sister log in and add the streamer, so we can play PUBG together sometime!]

[I suggest your sister start a live stream; I'll give her all the money I'd earned from reading your book for free.]

[My little sister's voice is so lovely! Maybe I should post some bonus chapters where she can speak!]

[Let my sister do the voice acting for the female lead, one yuan per line!]

To be fair, some of the suggestions from netizens this year are quite reasonable.

For example, Ai Qing hadn't thought of this voice acting before.

However, now is clearly not the time to focus on these things.

Ai Qing looked speechlessly at Xiao Yu, who had just turned back into a cat. As she watched Xiao Yu sneakily climb onto her stomach, Ai Qing immediately grabbed her by the back of the neck and lifted her up.

"Did you run into a streamer while you were playing PUBG just now?"

"Meow?"

"That's true, the streamer might not even tell you they're streaming."

"Meow~"

"But you still mentioned the title of my book, right? Didn't I tell you not to introduce my book to people?"

"Meow..." The little fish struggled to escape from his grasp and then ran to the living room in a flash.

Ai Qing thought Xiao Yu had run away, but a short while later, he received a WeChat message from Xiao Yu.

[Ai Eats Fish]: Didn't my brother say that we shouldn't introduce him to acquaintances?

[Ai Chi Yu]: It should be okay to talk to strangers online, right?

[Rise, my dear subject]: What you say isn't entirely wrong... but now all the readers know I have a younger sister.

[Ai Eats Fish]: Huh? Is that what you're concerned about, brother? You can't let others know you have little fish, can you?

Although you can't see specific expressions or hear the tone of voice when chatting on WeChat, Ai Qing still naturally pictured Xiaoyu looking aggrieved in her mind.

This suddenly made him hesitate to eat.

[Rise, my subject]: That's not what I meant. It's just that there's a little... um, awkwardness, or rather, shyness?

[Rise, my dear subject]: Moreover, my neighbor, Sister Qian, is also reading this book. She knows that I am the only son in my family and I don't have any younger sisters at all.

[Rise, my subject]: If she saw what happened in the comments section, she would definitely find it strange.

Fortunately, his family doesn't know the title of his book yet...

Otherwise, it would be a bit terrifying to suddenly discover that you have an extra daughter in your family.
