Why bother with dating when you already have a cat?

[Ai Chi Yu]: Sister, what do you think I should do if there's a guy like this?

How to do?

That's easy.

Just get it done.

I've already said it's long-term virginity syndrome.

As long as he's not a virgin, then it's fine.

But Xiao Youqian certainly couldn't say that.

First, the little fish is still young.

Xiao Youqian may not care, but that doesn't mean she will directly copy and advise others with her own ideas and behaviors.

Moreover, she could tell that Xiaoyu's family upbringing was quite conservative, and that they wouldn't allow her to force herself on him.

Secondly, it's because of Ai Qing's side.

Xiao Youqian knows Ai Qing very well. If Xiao Yu really forces himself on her, Ai Qing will probably be very angry if she finds out afterwards that she was the one who encouraged him.

[Youxi does whatever she wants]: Let me think about it carefully.

Xiao Youqian fell into deep thought for a moment, and began to think about how best to give Xiaoyu advice.

Chapter 137 Code of Practice, Article 1

I don't know if it's just Ai Qing's imagination.

Since her trip to West Lake, the little fish seems to have changed.

He wasn't sure when it started to change.

It might have been after returning from West Lake, or it might have been a few days later?

In short, this bothered him a little.

For example, here's a very obvious one.

In the past, when Xiaoyu was studying in the morning, she would always secretly dawdle.

This is normal. After all, even when Ai Qing was in school, she couldn't concentrate on studying for more than 30 minutes at a time.

It's very likely that they'll start daydreaming within minutes.

It's only possible to study seriously for a long time if you enter a state of flow.

Ai Qing used to only encounter this situation when doing those kinds of challenging math problems.

But lately, Xiaoyu has been acting really strange.

At least in his observation, Xiaoyu was unusually attentive during her morning studies, and Ai Qing rarely noticed her daydreaming.

Even if it happens once or twice, I immediately correct myself and my enthusiasm for learning soars to unprecedented heights. I even take the initiative to do a few more questions after finishing my homework.

This startled Ai Qing a bit.

He quickly asked her if something had happened.

Xiaoyu just shook her head, grinned, and said she wanted to read more books, adding that she had suddenly realized the importance of learning.

In just about a week, Xiaoyu had already reached the sixth grade level in Chinese.

Judging by this progress, they'll be able to enter junior high school soon.

As for math, although Xiaoyu isn't very good at it, she's been studying it diligently.

This is Ai Qing's best subject; at least the knowledge level of primary and junior high school is not difficult for him, and he can explain it to her in a very simple and easy-to-understand way.

Previously, Xiaoyu didn't like to listen, and she wasn't careful enough when Aiqing explained the problems, so she always learned very slowly.

Now that I've changed my attitude and gone all out, I'm finding that there aren't any major obstacles in mastering elementary school knowledge.

Ai Qing was already considering where to borrow some junior high school textbooks and exercises.

If we can't borrow it, we'll have to buy it ourselves, so as not to delay Xiaoyu's studies.

Despite the ongoing criticism of the current education model in China, the content of nine-year compulsory education ultimately shapes a young person's knowledge system and framework.

This will give him a very basic understanding and knowledge of the world.

For a cat like Xiaoyu, whose understanding of the world was previously limited to a small house, it would be very difficult for her to directly comprehend the Earth, the starry sky, and the universe.

But after Ai Qing taught her while taking her hiking, riding the subway, and visiting West Lake, she saw the vast world outside.

As the knowledge in the textbook was matched one by one, the framework that the textbook had built for the little fish was gradually filled with flesh and blood, and it became full of life.

Besides studying, Xiaoyu also makes a point of placing two phone stands next to her computer during her live streams, so that her tablet and phone can be placed there separately.

Ai Qing didn't know when she learned voice input.

I usually watch Bubble play PUBG on his live stream. The live stream screen is on my tablet, and I can clearly see the comments.

On the phone, there's a memo.

Whenever Bubble creates some entertainment value and makes the comments section lively, Xiaoyu will deliberately turn off her team's voice chat and then use voice input to jot it down in her notes app.

To prepare for my future live streaming.

After playing games with Xiaoyu for more than an hour each day, Xiaoyu would continue to study in the live stream room with bubbles hanging up.

She would also search for a bunch of video editing tutorials on her computer, and then try to clumsily edit the video footage that Ai Qing had recorded for her.

Ai Qing originally wanted to help her edit the video, but Xiao Yu said that it was her own job and she couldn't always rely on Ai Qing's help.

do not know why.

It feels like the little fish suddenly grew up overnight...

Although I was sensible before, it was within the scope of a child's sensibility.

Now, Xiaoyu is like a person who has truly begun to develop independently, actively striving for progress, no longer passively accepting Ai Qing's education and help.

They have clear goals and plans, and have invested their clear actions and focused energy.

have to say.

If the little fish in the past was more of a companion in the sense of a pet, and a natural sexual attraction after she became a girl, including her lovely personality.

It was Xiaoyu's recent changes that truly gave Ai Qing a certain illusion.

It was as if Xiaoyu had truly become a normal girl, independent of him, who was striving to live, study, and work.

Looking at Xiaoyu sitting in front of the computer, her profile showing her earnest effort, Ai Qing felt a little dazed.

However, none of these are the most important things!

The most crucial thing is that today Xiaoyu suddenly approached him to discuss something, saying that after deducting their daily expenses from the living expenses she received last month, there were still a few hundred yuan left.

Xiaoyu said she had her eye on a single bed on Taobao and wanted to buy it and put it in the bedroom with the computer.

That bedroom was considered a secondary bedroom, larger than the other bedroom that was used as a storage room. The only difference between it and the master bedroom was that it didn't have its own bathroom.

The advantage is that it connects to the balcony, which makes it more convenient for things like washing clothes and other small tasks.

Ai Qing had previously placed Xiao Yu's computer here, against the wall, with the balcony to her right.

Furthermore, this place is completely empty.

The landlord only put a double bed in the master bedroom and didn't buy any other beds.

If we buy the single bed that Xiaoyu has her eye on and place it against the wall, there will still be plenty of space in this bedroom.

So Xiaoyu said that she could put her litter box and water bowl in this bedroom.

That way, Ai Qing's bedroom won't feel too cramped.

Say something.

This was Ai Qing's idea when she rented this house.

Keeping the small fish in the second bedroom makes good use of this empty space.

However, at that time, Xiaoyu had just arrived in a new environment and always clung to him. If he put her in a separate room at night, she would keep meowing all night long.

Finally, having no other choice, Ai Qing put the little fish in the master bedroom to keep it.

Later, after Xiaoyu was able to turn into a human, Aiqing suggested that Xiaoyu should have her own room.

After all, men and women shouldn't touch each other. If Xiaoyu always turned into a girl and crawled into his bed in the middle of the night, Xiao Aiqing would suffer a lot.

But at that time, Xiaoyu still thought like a cat and didn't think it had anything to do with her.

So the matter was dropped.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoyu brought this up again today.

This left Ai Qing speechless for a moment, unsure of how to respond.

Logically speaking, he should have agreed wholeheartedly.

But deep down, there was always a voice asking him that question.

—Do you really want this outcome?

"Hmm, that's good..." Ai Qing looked at Xiao Yu, then at the single bed on Xiao Yu's phone, and nodded hesitantly, saying, "So you'll be sleeping here every night from now on?"

“Yes.” Xiaoyu nodded while carefully and subtly observing Ai Qing’s expression.

I didn't see any joy or relief on Ai Qing's face; instead, she seemed a little regretful.

The little fish was secretly delighted, and then added, "But brother, you can't lock the door at night. When I turn back into a cat, I'll need to go to your place to absorb energy, otherwise I won't have enough energy during the day."

"Oh... um... I see..." For some reason, knowing that Xiaoyu wasn't away all night, Ai Qing felt somewhat comforted, and her previously slightly disappointed mood suddenly improved.

After all, he wasn't some pervert who insisted that Xiaoyu sleep with him when she turned into a human.

Having a kitten by your bedside is enough.

What else can he expect?

"By the way, brother." After saying this, Xiaoyu clicked to place an order and went into her bedroom. She pulled Aiqing to the computer and showed him the effect of a video editing. "Take a look at this."

Ai Qing glanced at it, then watched the video, which was about a minute long.
