Why bother with dating when you already have a cat?

Ai Qing grabbed Xiao Yu's arms and dragged her back to the bed. Then she returned to the door and was about to quietly close the bedroom door again.

Then they heard faint voices coming from the balcony.

"Yes, yes, I was a field reporter when I was young, and later I was promoted to writing editor."

"Not at all, it's just that I have a lot of experience."

"...Yes, I wrote that. You've read it?"

"You flatter me, you flatter me..."

"Oh, okay, okay, no problem, no problem."

"Can I report for duty next week? I'm sure I'm fine with it, I'm not busy at all."

Hearing the familiar voice, Ai Qing peeked out towards the balcony and saw her father, Ai Zhongguo, talking to someone on the other end of the phone.

What does this content mean?

Why does this sound like a collaboration invitation or something?

Why are we talking about work so late at night?

Despite her doubts, Ai Qing closed the bedroom door.

He can't help his parents with their work; he just needs to do his own thing.

Only when he can make a living from online writing and doesn't need any help from his family will he be able to truly put his parents at ease.

Putting her father's matter aside for the time being, Ai Qing retreated to the bedroom and shifted her gaze back to the bed.

Xiaoyu was lying there watching him, her eyes occasionally glancing at the door frame behind Ai Qing.

Ai Qing suspected that this guy had just learned how to open doors, hence his great enthusiasm.

They're probably treating the doorknob like a new toy.

Although some very clever cats can learn to open doors on their own.

But Xiaoyu has always been quite well-behaved, and has never opened a door by herself before.

Could it be that becoming human has made me a little smarter?

They've all learned how to open doors.

Ai Qing touched her forehead, feeling a bit troubled.

What if he's not careful and lets her open the door and walk out?

It wasn't that he was particularly controlling; he was simply worried that the silly cat might get into trouble if it went out alone.

Thinking of this, Ai Qing suddenly remembered something, and quickly went to the table drawer. After rummaging around for a while, she took out a box from the drawer.

The sign above reads in large letters: "[XX Children's Watch Pro Super Edition]"

I vaguely remember it was around Chinese New Year when a relative got married, and there was a lucky draw at the wedding.

This children's watch was a third prize, and it was won by his mother, Yao Qiang.

However, neither Ai Zhongguo nor Yao Qiang were comfortable using this kind of smartwatch, so they gave it to Ai Qing.

However, Ai Qing herself doesn't need it. After all, it says on the screen that it's a children's watch. Ai Qing played with it out of curiosity at first, and then put it in a drawer to collect dust.

However, it seems that...

Ai Qing turned her head to look at the little fish on the bed, then looked down at the children's watch in the box, and shook her head with a helpless smile.

"Come on, little fish, here's a big treasure for you, it shines!"

This children's watch comes with a built-in GPS tracker, so if Xiaoyu ever sneaks out by herself, Aiqing can always find her location.

Chapter 18 Ai Qing's Diary

March 1st, sunny.

I'm releasing a new book today, and to be honest, I'm quite nervous.

But this is a topic and content that I really want to write about, and I feel it should be... not bad, right?

Hopefully, people still read romance novels these days.

Haha, seeing comments from familiar old readers in this chapter makes me very happy and gratified.

There's a sense of satisfaction in being recognized.

It's like when a little fish gets its chin scratched.

Isn't writing a book much more enjoyable than dating?

……

March 2nd, sunny.

Why is this light novel-like plot happening to me?

Sometimes I wonder if, when I'm writing characters in a novel, I'm also living in someone else's fictional world?

In any case, let's first try to figure out the reasons and patterns behind the little fish turning into humans.

Otherwise, if my parents really found out that I was keeping a mistress, I really wouldn't be able to handle it.

Moreover, according to Sister Qian, Xiaoyu is less than a year old, which translates to only 16 years old in human years...

I am so sinful!

However, I just checked again, and when a kitten is two years old, it's equivalent to a human being 24 years old.

In other words, by this time next year, I'll be the same age as Xiaoyu?

Thinking about this brings me to a very serious and sad topic...

The cat's age seems to be at most only a teenager.

Ah, I can't write anymore!

Hug the little fish.

……

March 3rd, sunny.

Sister Qian opened a pet hospital, which will make it much more convenient for her to see a doctor in the future.

And you can also get free cat food, cat litter, and cat treats, hehe.

Thankfully, we chose a female doctor in the end; otherwise, we would have to specifically ask Sister Qian to take Xiaoyu to the hospital every time we took her there.

I don't want other men touching my clitoris.

But what about Xiaoyu's clothes...?

And underwear.

Girls have so much to learn; I should try to write it all into books someday.

……

March 4th, sunny.

I brought the little fish home today.

He even joked with his grandfather that he had brought a girlfriend home.

If the little fish that turned into a human were a normal girl, she might actually be a great girlfriend.

But she's just a little kitten... Maybe in ten years, I'll be the one who has to send off the white-haired kitten while I'm still a black-haired person.

Pet owners will inevitably have to face this cruel reality.

Now that the little fish can turn into a human, this cruelty seems to me to be a form of torture.

I can't think about it anymore!

Let me deal with this kind of thing in the future.

Live in the present.

Of course, cats are included too.

Instead of thinking about things that are so far in the future, let's focus on how to help the little fish continue to grow up healthy and happy.

But Little Fish, could you please stop making things so exciting every time you transform into a human?

Today I was leaning against the window and almost got seen by my mom and grandma.

It almost gave me a heart attack.

The children's smartwatch that had been gathering dust finally came in handy.

Although Xiaoyu doesn't know how to use it, this phone has a location tracking function, so even if she gets lost in the future, I can find her.

……

March 5th, rain.

It rained all day today.

I brought a measuring tape back from home in the morning, and after lunch, I took Xiaoyu home in the afternoon.

Just as Xiaoyu transformed into a human at one o'clock, I took her measurements.

cough cough...

Height 159cm, upper chest circumference 83cm, lower chest circumference 67cm, waist circumference 60cm, hip circumference 88cm.

Let me make a quick note of this; I'm not a pervert! This is science, science!

In short, all the measurements were taken through the coat. It's just that Xiaoyu isn't used to standing, so we could only measure the top when she was sitting and the bottom when she was lying down.

I don't know if the posture will affect the data.

The difference between the upper and lower bust measurements is 16 centimeters...

What the hell!

Is there a C?
