Why bother with dating when you already have a cat?

Ai Qing, this guy, even when he's in a relationship, he still drags Xiao Yu to study?

Judging from Xiaoyu's condition, she probably dropped out of school a long time ago. It's not easy for her to be able to study obediently at home now.

Both of them are quite eccentric.

But that's probably what love is all about.

Xiao Youqian chuckled and shook her head. Thinking that Xiaoyu would also help with housework, the image of the two of them living at home immediately came to mind.

For a moment, she even felt a little envious.

She has had many relationships since childhood, but has never lived with any boy.

She only seeks the ambiguous atmosphere of dating, enjoying the thrill and passion, but she doesn't like living with other people.

When you live alone, you can do whatever you want without having to share your private space or compromise on other people's lifestyles.

Everything was comfortable and pleasant enough.

Xiao Youqian likes this kind of life.

But after hearing about Xiaoyu and Aiqing's current life, Xiao Youqian did feel a little envious.

I envy the feeling of two people living together.

If I could have someone like that, it wouldn't be such a bad thing.

However, given her personality, it's probably not easy for her to meet someone like that.

"I really envy your relationship," Xiao Youqian said sincerely. "Xiaoyu, I've known Ai Qing since I was a child, and I know very well what kind of person he is."

"He's a bit of an idealist."

"But when it comes to specific things, he likes to have detailed plans and is a very pragmatic person."

"Although he is somewhat idealistic, this idealism is not an empty and superficial beautiful fantasy, but merely a pursuit based on reality."

"For example, he used to say that he didn't know how to date or anything like that."

"Actually, he just felt that the kind of love he wanted was too rare, and that it would be difficult to find a girl in this world who was a good match for him."

"So he simply gave up on his illusions."

“His friends and I used to advise him that since true love is hard to find, he should enjoy life while he can and not always suppress his feelings.”

"But now that I've seen Xiaoyu, I'm thinking that maybe Ai Qing's choice was the right one."

Xiao Youqian looked at the little fish and couldn't help but say a few more words.

Little Fish was listening very attentively.

The Ai Qing described in Xiao Youqian's words clearly overlaps with the Ai Qing that Xiaoyu knows.

However, Xiaoyu lacks the language skills to summarize Ai Qing like Xiao Youqian did.

"So, sister, what do you think I should do?" Little Fish asked earnestly. "How can I make brother happy?"

"Haha, you've already mastered the craft, so don't ask me questions like that anymore." Xiao Youqian shook her head with a smile. "I've never even lived with anyone before, so I have absolutely no experience in that area."

"Since he likes you as a person, Xiaoyu just needs to be herself."

"As I said before, those three rules for 'boiling the frog slowly' are not just for pursuing others, but also the key to maintaining your own charm in the long run."

Little Fish nodded, somewhat understanding, then couldn't help but ask, "Then...when can I...um...do that kind of thing with my brother?"

Xiao Youqian: "...???"

Is this a valid question?

Xiao Youqian herself didn't mind talking about this kind of topic with others, but she didn't expect Xiaoyu to be so direct.

She looks adorable, but she always says surprising things.

"Well, you should just let things take their course," Xiao Youqian coughed twice. "But you'd better not be too proactive."

"Although I believe Ai Qing is a loyal person, men are the kind of people who don't cherish what they have once they get it."

"Sometimes when you are too proactive, it may feel novel at first, but over time, you will gradually get tired of it."

"Remember what I said? Rule number three: be charming occasionally, and stir your heartstrings."

"Even after you start dating, the principle remains the same."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu nodded in understanding, then felt a little embarrassed, thinking that she hadn't been able to control herself these past two days.

She always couldn't help but hug her brother and ask for a kiss.

It seems I'll have to be more patient in the future!

She should let her brother take the initiative to kiss her; she shouldn't always be the one to initiate.

Xiao Yu had her own plans in mind, trying to learn from Xiao Youqian's experience.

The two chatted happily and finished their coffee quickly.

Around 9 p.m., seeing that it was almost time, Xiao Youqian stood up and said, "Let's call it a day then. Come on, get in my car, and we'll go back together."

Xiaoyu followed Xiao Youqian all the way to the underground parking lot and found her car.

"Um... this... how do I drive it?" Xiaoyu stood by the car, looking a little lost.

Although she had gone out with Ai Qing so many times, she had basically only taken the subway and shared electric bikes.

I've never actually ridden in a proper car.

Xiao Youqian was also stunned for a moment, then realized that Xiaoyu had grown up so much and seemed to have never ridden in a car before.

This is really...

She walked over from the driver's side door, didn't say much, but pointed to the door handle and said, "Look here, it's the same principle as opening a door, just grab the door handle and pull it out."

After opening the passenger door, Xiao Youqian said, "Get in, and then close the door."

After finishing her lesson, Xiao Youqian returned to the driver's seat, turned to look at Xiaoyu sitting next to her, and leaned over with a smile to help her fasten her seatbelt.

"This is the seat belt in the car. It will hold us in place after we fasten it," Xiao Youqian explained. "So that if we have a car accident and crash into another car, this seat belt can protect us from hitting the windshield in front of us."

"Yes, I understand." Little Fish nodded repeatedly, feeling that she had learned something new.

Soon, Xiao Youqian started the car and drove home.

Xiaoyu sat in the passenger seat, watching the car speeding forward at close range. Although she didn't know if it was as fast as the subway, the visual impact was definitely something the subway couldn't match.

It was Xiaoyu's first time sitting in the front passenger seat. Feeling the occasional push-back sensation and watching herself move rapidly forward on the road, her heart started beating much faster.

So exciting.

Finally, a dozen minutes later, Xiao Youqian drove into the underground garage of the residential area and got out of the car with Xiaoyu.

When Xiaoyu's feet touched the ground, she felt her legs were a little weak. After circulating the warm current for a while, she finally felt better and more at ease.

Following Xiao Youqian, they took the elevator upstairs, and after exiting the elevator, they parted ways at the elevator entrance.

"That's all for today. I had a great time shopping with you. Goodnight, Xiaoyu." Xiao Youqian waved and turned to walk towards her front door.

On the other side, Little Fish also said goodbye: "Goodnight, sister. Little Fish was very happy today too."

After saying that, Xiaoyu walked towards her home, unlocked the door with her fingerprint, and opened it. Ai Qing, who was inside, seemed to hear the noise at the door and immediately ran out.

"Brother!" When Xiaoyu saw Ai Qing, she immediately ran over and hugged her tightly, then couldn't help but stand on tiptoe to kiss her.

As for the restraint and modesty that I had planned beforehand, I threw them all to the back of my mind the moment I saw Ai Qing.

Chapter 166 The Cat Ear Disappearance Technique

Early August.

Hangzhou has entered its hottest period.

The temperature can reach 36 or 37 degrees Celsius at midday.

Once you step outside, you're met with scorching sunshine.

Fortunately, Ai Qing and Xiao Yu's jobs both require them to stay at home, and they usually have groceries delivered to their door, so they basically don't need to go out.

Occasionally, when Xiao Youqian invites Xiaoyu out to play, they simply go to the underground parking garage and ride in Xiao Youqian's car, which is quite convenient.

Recently, Xiao Youqian has become obsessed with live streaming. She doesn't stream herself, but helps Xiaoyu manage and operate the live streaming room and fan group.

Since the pet hospital got on track, Xiao Youqian is now basically a hands-off manager.

Most of the girlfriends I used to know lived in downtown Hangzhou, and we would only get together occasionally, once a month.

Xiao Youqian is very bored these days, but luckily there's a girl named Xiaoyu across the street, so she often comes to play with her.

They became quite active in Xiaoyu's live stream room.

If Xiao Youqian has free time in the afternoon, she will log on to her computer and play games with Xiaoyu on live stream, enjoying the joy of being carried to victory.

After being eliminated, she would also take on the responsibility of managing the live stream, helping Xiaoyu ban some trolls.

Sometimes when I'm really bored, I go to Xiaoyu's fan group to chat. After I became an administrator, I would also help Xiaoyu plan some simple fan activities.

After this period of development, Xiaoyu's number of fans has successfully exceeded 100,000.

I also received a small silver medal from Bilibili.

The July earnings have arrived, and Xiaoyu's total income has exceeded 20,000.

Although Governor Kong Fugui played a part in this, it was still quite considerable.

On the 3rd, Ai Qing's manuscript fee income was released, totaling more than 21,000 yuan, which was a few hundred yuan more than Xiao Yu's.

The young couple now earns a combined 40,000 yuan a month, which is already considered a very comfortable life.

Moreover, neither of them has any major expenses, so they can save 90% of the money.

The rest of the money is used for daily expenses and occasionally for a nice meal out.

Sometimes Ai Qing gets the urge to buy some nice clothes for Xiao Yu.

Xiaoyu is the same; sometimes she can't control herself and ends up with a few more of Aiqing's clothes at home.

Neither of them buys much for themselves; their Taobao apps on their phones are all recommending things the other can wear.
