Why bother with dating when you already have a cat?

In short, it represents a peaceful state of mind in daily life.

But when she's with her friends, Ai Qing seems to be gradually activated and enters a more active state.

When chatting with friends, I can always quickly pick up on the conversation and then chat on and on about the topic until my mouth gets dry without me even realizing it.

Xiaoyu watched the four of them chatting enthusiastically. Although she could occasionally chime in, she could clearly sense that the four of them were her true friends, and she was just a temporary addition.

However, Xiaoyu didn't mind these things. Instead, she looked at Ai Qing's current state with great curiosity, feeling that Ai Qing seemed very relaxed at this moment.

So Xiaoyu would occasionally put Aiqing's favorite dishes on his plate, while she ate quietly herself.

When the four of them got tired of chatting, the boys gathered together to talk about games and girls, and then Xiao Youqian pulled Xiaoyu aside to chat.

"How are you feeling? You're not bored, are you?" Xiao Youqian asked with concern.

"No, Xiaoyu thinks it's very interesting." Xiaoyu shook her head, then blinked and said, "It's just that you guys seem to have a really good relationship. Xiaoyu is a little envious. I don't think I have any friends like that."

"Isn't Ai Qing?"

"But my brother is already my boyfriend."

"What about me? What about me?" Xiao Youqian immediately pointed to herself and said with a grin, "Aren't we good friends?"

"That's not what Xiaoyu meant. Of course, Sister Youqian and I are good friends, but..." Xiaoyu thought for a while before finally finding a way to describe it more easily and said to Xiao Youqian, "But there are some differences."

“My brother always tells me that I must be polite when communicating with others.”

"But when you were chatting just now, you said a lot of very impolite things, but it seems like no one cared."

"On the contrary, they all seemed to be enjoying it. They wouldn't be satisfied without cursing a few times. Even Xiaoyu was a little unsure how to participate."

"If I were going out to play with Sister Youqian, I definitely wouldn't dare to talk to her like that."

“My sister would never talk to me like that.”

"So I think they're still quite different."

After hearing what Xiaoyu said, Xiao Youqian suddenly realized something, and then chuckled.

“What you said makes some sense. After all, I’ve known those three for almost twenty years, and we know each other very well,” Xiao Youqian explained.

"The closer the relationship, the more they know that verbal attacks are often a symbol of intimacy."

"For example, I can call them idiots without a second thought, but I can't say that to other friends who aren't that close."

"Because I called them a bunch of idiots, they knew I wasn't really insulting them, while my other friends might not have thought that way."

"Like now, after we've started talking about this topic, even if Xiaoyu calls me that in the future, I won't mind. Then we'll be very, very good friends."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu immediately looked at Xiao Youqian, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "Is...is she an idiot?"

Xiao Youqian was immediately speechless: "...No, you're really going to curse me?"

"Hmm..." Xiaoyu saw her surprised and amused expression and suddenly became a little nervous. "I don't mind if you scold me like this, sister."

"You really are a little silly..." Xiao Youqian couldn't help but reach out and pat Xiaoyu's head, then pinch her cheeks. "What did Ai Qing do in her past life to be able to pick up such a cute little guy like you just by writing a book?"

"Hehe." Little Fish chuckled憨憨地.

The five of them sat in the private room for a while longer. When they felt they had eaten enough, Kong Fugui glanced at the time and said, "Let's go, let's go. It's 6:30. Let's go to karaoke for three or four hours, and then go out for barbecue."

“Anything is fine.” Wu Yong stood up first, and as he walked out of the private room to pay the bill, he turned back and said, “I just need to be home before midnight, and I’ll leave the rest to you.”

“Then it’s settled. I’ve already booked the private room.” Kong Fugui stood up and said to the other three people, “I’ll go back to my apartment complex to get the car. You can just wait for me at the restaurant entrance later.”

"Go ahead, go ahead," Xiao Youqian waved her hand.

A few minutes later, Ai Qing and Xiao Yu came downstairs. The four of them waited for a while at the restaurant entrance, and then watched Kong Fugui drive a spacious SUV and park it on the side of the road.

Ai Qing let Wu Yong, this big guy, sit in the passenger seat, while she and Xiao Yu sat in the back.

The little fish sat in the middle, able to lean against Ai Qing's chest.

"You can come into my arms too, I don't mind." Xiao Youqian opened her arms to welcome the little fish.

Xiao Yu really let go of Ai Qing's hand, and called out to You Qian with a smile, then snuggled into Xiao You Qian's arms.

Kong Fugui, who was driving, immediately feigned innocence and said, "Sister Youqian, I want to lean against you too~"

"Get lost! You're disgusting." Xiao Youqian spat at Kong Fugui in the rearview mirror. "Speak normally, you're giving me goosebumps."

"Then when are you going to give my girlfriend back?" Ai Qing glanced at her. "If you keep acting like this, don't let my little fish run away with you."

"Tch, it's not that easy to lure Xiaoyu away." Xiao Youqian chuckled. "Go back, go back, or your brother will get jealous."

Xiaoyu obediently let go of her hands and turned to look at Ai Qing.

Ai Qing looked out the window at the receding scenery with an indifferent expression.

"Brother, are you jealous?"

"No, Sister Qian isn't a man, why would I be jealous?"

“If it were a man, I would already be lying on the ground right now,” Xiao Youqian said with a smile.

Ai Qing glanced at her: "You talk too much."

"Hehe, don't be angry anymore, brother, give me a kiss." Xiaoyu wasn't shy at all and went straight up to Aiqing and gave her a kiss.

This immediately sparked a chorus of cheers and jeers throughout the carriage.

Even Wu Yong couldn't escape this trend.

Even looking at the two of them being so affectionate in the rearview mirror, Wu Yong felt a stirring of romantic feelings, wondering if he should really find a girlfriend at school.

"Cough, stop fooling around." Ai Qing tried hard to suppress the smug look on her face and calmly pressed Xiao Yu's head down to stop her from kissing her randomly.

Little Fish obediently hugged his arm, and soon, Kong Fugui drove up to the KTV building.

Chapter 183 Corpse

This was Xiaoyu's first time visiting a KTV.

In the past, when Ai Qing took Xiao Yu out alone, she never thought of bringing her here.

However, when it comes to singing alone, Xiaoyu is actually quite good at it.

During her live streams, she imitates Bubble's style, playing songs as background music while waiting to enter a match.

I also chatted with the viewers in the live chat.

Sometimes, after listening to a song a lot, she would hum a couple of lines.

I don't know if she had a naturally good voice or if she secretly used a warm current to enhance her voice, but in any case, she sang quite well.

He's definitely no match for professional players, but he's still much better than an ordinary guy like Ai Qing.

Later, when Xiaoyu received a reward from the captain, she would sing a song as a way of giving back during breaks from playing PUBG.

I must say, that's definitely a unique feature of this live stream.

There are many singing streamers, but virtual streamers who are good at playing PUBG and can also sing are quite rare.

"Brother, the lights are a bit dim here." Xiaoyu followed Ai Qing behind Kong Fugui and the others, following the waiter's directions as they walked deeper into the KTV corridor.

Although there were only five people, and a small private room would have been enough, Kong Fugui still booked a medium-sized private room, which was a bit more spacious.

After entering, Xiaoyu curiously looked around at the room's layout.

On the left is a flat, U-shaped sofa, two long tables in the middle, and a small LCD TV screen on the wall.

On the opposite wall was a much larger screen; when Xiaoyu stood in front of it, her head was not even as high as the top of the screen.

"Wow, this is huge!" Xiaoyu stared wide-eyed at the giant screen, then leaned close to Ai Qing and whispered, "Playing games on such a big screen would be so exciting."

I don't know if it's stimulating, but it will definitely make you dizzy.

Ai Qing patted Xiao Yu's head and whispered, "If you're interested, you can buy a projector and screen and set one up in your room. It might not be convenient for playing games, but it's perfect for watching movies."

The two of them snuggled up on the small bed in the second bedroom to watch a movie together. When they got tired, they could do other things without the constraints and worries of being in a movie theater.

I'm actually looking forward to it.

Xiao Yu had no idea what Ai Qing was thinking, but she nodded excitedly and was then pulled to the sofa by Xiao Youqian.

"Please bring me some drinks, I'm not drinking alcohol," Kong Fugui said to the waiter.

He knew that Wu Yong and Ai Qing weren't very interested in drinking.

Previously, the restaurant was to celebrate Wu Yong's birthday, so they drank a little wine. Now that Xiao Yu is here, they decided not to drink any more.

At this moment, Xiao Youqian had already pulled Xiaoyu to select songs, while Wu Yong and Ai Qing sat to the side, showing no interest in selecting songs at all.

When they come to karaoke, they're usually part of the atmosphere team; their job is simply to clap.

Of course, it's not that the two of them can't sing.

However, Ai Qing rarely listens to music. He prefers to listen to instrumental music when he is writing because lyrics would interfere with his brainstorming.

So the songs I can sing are all the popular songs from my childhood.

As for Wu Yong, he's even more outrageous. He basically doesn't listen to pop music, and the songs he can sing are even more amusing.

"Little Fish, you can sing too?" Xiao Youqian selected a song called "Courage," and to her surprise, Little Fish next to her hummed along for a couple of lines. So she immediately pulled Little Fish up and sang along with her.

Kong Fugui clapped from the side, and after the song ended, he couldn't help but ask, "You sang well, Xiaoyu. Why don't you become a singing streamer or a game streamer?"

"No... didn't you all know she could sing?" Ai Qing said, speechless.

"Forehead……"

"It's obvious you haven't watched Xiaoyu's live stream carefully," Ai Qing said with a smile, shaking her head. "She sings a little bit in her live streams sometimes."

It's funny, Kong Fugui only gave Xiaoyu a "Governor" reward back then, and never watched Xiaoyu's live stream after that.

Although Xiao Youqian manages Xiaoyu's fan group, she doesn't usually watch Xiaoyu's live streams; she only knows that Xiaoyu is playing PUBG.

I only found out about this now.

"Ai Qing, sing a song too! Don't just let Xiao Yu sing."

Since Xiao Youqian had already said so, Ai Qing simply went to the song selection station, picked a song called "Little Dimples," and sang it as a duet with Xiao Yu.

"Eek~" Xiao Youqian touched her arm and shook her head repeatedly, "You guys can't even forget to show off your love while singing a song, you guys are something else."

"Old Wu, Old Wu! You're here too!" Kong Fugui chuckled and patted Wu Yong on the shoulder, then said, "It's one of our regular programs!"
