Why bother with dating when you already have a cat?

"But I'm afraid of giving myself away," Little Fish said softly. "What if I say something wrong?"

“None of that matters.” Ai Qing shook her head, patted her head, and couldn’t help but pat her fluffy cat ears. “The important thing is whether you want to go shopping with her.”

"Of course... I still have some thoughts about it..." Xiaoyu said hesitantly.

After all, he was her teacher in the course of love, and she had promised to treat him to dinner yesterday.

Now that they've taken the initiative to invite her, it would be a bit unreasonable for Xiaoyu to refuse.

“Then let’s go,” Ai Qing nodded and said. “But you have a live broadcast this afternoon, so ask if it’s okay after 3:30 pm.”

"Uh-huh!"

Little Fish nodded quickly and lowered her head to type.

[Ai Chi Yu]: Sure, but I'm only free after 3:30 pm. Is that time okay for you, sister?

【Youxi does whatever she wants】: 3:30? That's perfect. I'll get a beauty treatment first this afternoon, and then we'll meet at Yintai City, okay?

【Ai Eats Fish】: Mm! Then there's no problem.

Chapter 162: Warm-up Before the Broadcast

At noon, the two of them cooked together.

Although Xiaoyu is not yet a master chef, she has gradually learned to cook quite a few dishes.

There are several dishes that Ai Qing herself doesn't know how to make; Xiao Yu learned them gradually by watching online tutorials.

It must be said that if you ignore all the noise and chaos online, the internet is indeed a very good tool and helper.

Under Ai Qing's guidance, Xiao Yu developed a relatively stable and objective set of values ​​and basically stopped paying attention to various opinions online.

When I'm online, I usually read novels or watch videos.

The videos recommended on her Bilibili channel are mostly about cats and couples, and then there are cooking tutorials.

When Xiaoyu encounters any problems, she either asks Ai Qing or searches on Bilibili, and she can usually get the answer.

"Your cooking skills are getting better and better." Ai Qing couldn't help but sigh as she tasted the lunch Xiao Yu had made.

Little Fish happily curled her toes, watching Ai Qing enjoy her lunch, feeling very content: "As long as brother likes it."

"It's a pity your cat ears can't be put back." Ai Qing touched Xiao Yu's cat ears, which were covered with a layer of fluffy fur that felt warm to the touch and had a particularly nice feel to them. "Otherwise, I'll take you home for a visit, and you can try Grandma's cooking."

"Hmm..." Little Fish's cat ears drooped a little when she heard this, but she still couldn't help but ask, "So, does Brother want to take Little Fish home? Is this called meeting the parents?"

Xiaoyu has watched a lot of couple videos, so she's quite familiar with this "meeting the parents" part of the relationship.

What she has learned is that for a couple to go from confirming their relationship to getting married, they have to go through the process of meeting each other's parents.

Xiaoyu doesn't have any parents, so all he needs to do is go home with Aiqing to meet them.

Hearing Ai Qing say this, they immediately became expectant.

"I guess so." Ai Qing chuckled twice, then said, "Besides, my parents are your parents, and my grandparents are your grandparents, since they raised you when you were little."

"Hehe, but they haven't seen me in human form yet." Little Fish said, then immediately remembered, "I think we have? I saw my brother's dad when we were having barbecue, and I saw my mom when we went to the movies."

"Mm." Ai Qing nodded, thinking that with her father's groundwork laid, her family should be able to accept Xiao Yu quite easily.

The only problem now is how to hide the little fish's cat ears and tail.

After all, it's not practical to let Xiaoyu wear a hat all the time when we're just going home for a meal.

"I'll continue practicing the Vajra Kung Fu, and hopefully I'll see new results gradually," Ai Qing said.

Xiaoyu has only been practicing Vajra Kung Fu for about one or two months now.

If he practices for a few more months, or even a year or two, who knows what kind of skills he might develop.

Ai Qing is now starting to wonder if this is a sign of a resurgence of spiritual energy in modern society?

Maybe he's some kind of chosen one, able to possess a pet like Little Fish that can absorb and refine spiritual energy.

If there were a sudden change in spiritual energy, or if all sorts of strange events broke out around the world, wouldn't he rise to power?

Ai Qing had read quite a few novels about the revival of spiritual energy in the past.

Ai Qing had read books like "Saint Ruins", "Spare Me, Great Lord", and "There's a Demon Here" back then.

Unfortunately, when Ai Qing looked at the news online recently, it was still the same old stuff, and she couldn't see anything unusual.

This left Ai Qing, who had been longing for the revival of spiritual energy, rather disappointed.

"So, if we don't eat at my brother's house, can we wear hats when we go?" Xiaoyu suddenly thought of this. "For example, we can just take a short time to visit and get to know Grandpa and Grandma again."

“That’s an option,” Ai Qing thought for a moment, “but I’m worried you’ll be asked to stay for dinner, so I’ll have to come up with a reason to refuse.”

The two discussed going home for dinner while also talking about the afternoon's live stream.

"Will you be writing more later, brother?" Xiaoyu asked. "I saw you've already written a lot this morning."

"Yes, I've finished writing six thousand words for today," Ai Qing nodded and said.

I have to say, warm currents are really a wonderful thing.

In the past, Ai Qing would dawdle for a whole morning and only manage to write about two or three thousand words.

Then, if I dawdle a bit more in the afternoon to reach the required word count of 6,000, the day's work will finally be over.

Now, relying on the warm current provided by the little fish, I can instantly enter that clear flow state in my brain and type very quickly.

Basically, it only takes a little over an hour to get the word count needed for the day.

Moreover, the quality is surprisingly high.

Inspiration seemed to flow out of nowhere, as if it were free. The exhilarating feeling was so intense that anyone who experienced it would likely become addicted to it.

No wonder Xiaoyu's skills in PUBG are incredibly accurate, and his tactical thinking is also very precise. This is all thanks to the warm current.

I hadn't felt a particularly strong effect from Ai Qing before, but after trying it today, I finally felt that magical effect.

"How about you join me for my live stream later, brother?" Xiaoyu chuckled. "I watched some videos yesterday, and a lot of people were praising you. I think if you could appear in the live stream, a lot of people would definitely welcome you."

How could we not welcome him? Everyone treats him like their brother-in-law.

Ai Qing rolled her eyes, but didn't refuse Xiao Yu.

After all, we just dealt with this cheating scandal yesterday, so let's see if anyone tries to cause trouble today.

So Ai Qing nodded and said, "Then I'll accompany you on your live stream."

After saying that, Ai Qing thought of something else: "So after your live stream today, you're going to go shopping with Sister Qian at Yintai City, right?"

"Mmm!" Little Fish nodded repeatedly. "Is Brother going too?"

"I'm not going with you guys." Ai Qing shook her head. "It's your first time going out with friends, just enjoy yourself. You still have money on WeChat, right?"

"Yes, there are," Xiaoyu nodded and said, "several thousand yuan."

“That’s fine then.” Ai Qing reminded her, “Sister Qian’s family is quite wealthy, and the pet hospital is making a good profit every month. She’s quite extravagant when it comes to spending money, so she definitely wouldn’t mind spending money on her friends.”

"But we have to be mindful of boundaries when we're friends. You can't just accept money from friends without careful consideration. Remember that."

"If you want to buy something, buy it yourself with your own money. Don't use other people's money."

"If Sister Qian wants to buy you any gifts, you can accept one or two, and then you can buy a gift in return next time."

"Then when you go out shopping, don't wander off alone; try to stay with Sister Qian."

"If you encounter any problems, just call me anytime."

Xiaoyu listened attentively as Ai Qing explained the precautions.

Ai Qing treated Xiaoyu like a child, explaining every little detail to her, afraid that something might happen on her first time going out with someone else.

After finishing their meal, the two of them washed the dishes, a rare occasion for them to clean together.

After stuffing the change of clothes into the washing machine, I glanced at the time again; there were still more than ten minutes until the live stream started at 1:30.

So Xiaoyu and Aiqing went into the bedroom, sat down at the desk, turned on the live stream in advance, and after entering the PUBG matchmaking interface, Xiaoyu said:

"I made plans with Sister Bubble yesterday, and I'm going to ask her to hang out with me today. I'll also ask Teacher if he wants to join us."

"Okay, go ahead and ask."

Xiaoyu sent a WeChat message to both Bubble and Teacher, then checked the time again; there were still five minutes left.

Normally, Xiaoyu would start her live stream at this time.

But today is different.

Xiao Yu stood up from her chair with a grin, climbed onto Ai Qing, spread her legs, and sat on his lap.

Ai Qing hugged her slender waist and said helplessly, "Can you please stop climbing all over me like this?"

"Does brother like it?" Xiaoyu chuckled, and even took Ai Qing's hand and put it inside her clothes, showing no restraint whatsoever.

Ai Qing's breathing quickened. The young virgin was no match for Xiao Yu's simple and direct seduction, and he quickly forgot about the so-called live stream.

……

At 1:30, Ai Chiyu's live stream started on time.

The administrator in the fan group tagged everyone to inform them that Xiaoyu had started streaming.

Soon, a group of people rushed into the live broadcast room.

They probably never imagined that their favorite little streamer had just climbed down from his older brother's lap and sat in his own seat.

Her lips were bright red and moist, she was breathing slightly, her face was flushed, her eyes were watery, and her clothes were quite disheveled.

Unfortunately, the viewers in the live stream couldn't see this beautiful scenery; only Ai Qing could appreciate it.

The virtual cat-eared doll blinked in the live stream. Xiaoyu adjusted her breathing slightly before turning on the microphone and greeting the viewers.

Hello everyone, good afternoon!

Xiaoyu said, "My brother finished work today, so I specially dragged him over to play games with me."

[My brother-in-law is here too?]

[Good, good, good. If Little Fish's skills are this good, then Brother-in-law must be pretty good too.]

[Brother-in-law, what do you think of me? My feelings for Xiaoyu are genuine!]
