Why bother with dating when you already have a cat?

"Then I'm even more worried... Won't they stab my head through?"

"Don't worry, I'll be gentle."

After leaving the ear-cleaning shop, the two had a meal at the Yintai Department Store, and then walked out of the Yintai City.

This time, the two didn't take the subway; instead, they held hands and strolled hand in hand through the night streets.

Most of the shops on the street were decorated with Christmas items, and occasionally you could see people dressed as Santa Claus handing out flyers at the street corner.

"Isn't it said that Santa Claus rides a reindeer?" Little Fish asked, pointing to Santa Claus over there.

"Working isn't easy either. Such a high-end mode of transportation as a reindeer has probably already been sold off." Ai Qing made up a story on the spot, pulled Xiao Yu into a dessert shop, and then only bought an ice cream.

Although he found the list of 100 things couples should do rather boring, sometimes the more boring something seems, the more fun it becomes when two people do it together.

This is a world that single people can't understand.

Ai Qing didn't understand it before, but now she's slowly coming to understand.

What you do isn't really important; what matters is the person beside you.

If it's the right person, even just wandering aimlessly on the street can be a memorable experience.

The two of them set off from Yintai and strolled back home.

The two subway stations are actually not very far apart.

Because they had eaten dinner at 4:30, they strolled around from 5:00 to 7:00, arriving at the cat cafe just before Li Qiqi and Hu Tian got off work.

"You're back?" Li Qiqi snorted coldly when she saw the two scoundrels walking in hand in hand. Then she grabbed Hu Tian's arm and said, "Tian-jie and I went to have fun after get off work!"

"Go ahead, go ahead." Ai Qing waved her hand, then took out her phone and sent each of them a 200-yuan red envelope. "This is extra pay for Christmas. Were there many people here today?"

"So many people!" Li Qiqi's eyes lit up when she received the red envelope, and she nodded in satisfaction. Then she complained, "And there are a lot of couples here. There's more dog food than cat food in the store."

Ai Qing looked her up and down, then asked, "Are you just setting the stage here so you can ask me for compensation for emotional distress later?"

"How can you have such a dark mind!" Li Qiqi spat at him, then said, "But it's not impossible to ask for some compensation for emotional distress. Are you willing to pay?"

"Of the two hundred yuan in red envelopes just now, one hundred is extra pay for Christmas, and the other hundred is compensation for emotional distress."

"hehe."

After seeing Li Qiqi and Hu Tian off, Ai Qing and Xiao Yu stayed in the cat cafe for a while.

The shop had already been cleaned, and the two of them were simply spending some more time playing with the cats.

Around 8 p.m., Ai Qing patted her bottom, stood up, and together with Xiao Yu, called the cat back to its den. After locking the door, they headed home.

When it was exactly 8 p.m., Xiaoyu started her live stream on time.

Although it's called a live stream, it's actually more like Ai Qing and Xiao Yu's daily gaming time now.

Being able to play games and make money at the same time, this business is indeed quite good.

Some viewers are used to watching Xiaoyu play games and often come to take a look to see if the new game is fun.

If there's a new game you're unsure whether to buy, just persuade Xiaoyu to try it out first.

If it's really good, I'll spend the money to buy another one to play with.

Gradually, Xiaoyu has almost become a new game experience officer.

However, Xiaoyu herself didn't care. After all, many single-player games would become boring after playing for dozens or hundreds of hours.

For example, some of the games that Ai Qing played with her, if it weren't for the fact that playing with Xiao Yu, a novice, was somewhat fun, Ai Qing, who had already played quite a few of them before, definitely wouldn't open these games alone again.

"That's all for now, bye everyone, Merry Christmas~"

After Xiaoyu finished her live stream at 10 p.m., she ran into the bathroom.

What are you doing?

"I'm taking a bath," Little Fish's head popped out from inside. "Does brother want to come along?"

Although the little fish would be clean once it turned back into a cat and then back again, it still really liked the feeling of hot water flowing over its body.

Ai Qing didn't dare to wash with Xiao Yu and waved her hand repeatedly, telling her to go first.

After Xiaoyu finished washing, Aiqing took her change of clothes and went into the bathroom.

The shower room was still steaming with heat, and there was a faint smell of small fish.

It could just be the scent of the shower gel.

Ai Qing turned on the hot water shower and leisurely took a hot bath.

After washing up, he came out, picked up the hairdryer in front of the mirror, dried his hair, and opened the bathroom door. He saw that Xiaoyu had already obediently slept in bed and was looking at him expectantly.

"What kind of look is that?" Ai Qing felt something was off. She looked down at her pajamas that she had just changed into, and there shouldn't be anything wrong with them.

"Nothing, nothing." Xiaoyu shook her head repeatedly, chuckled, and then shrank back into the quilt, covering her nose and leaving only her clear, bright eyes visible.

Ai Qing didn't think much of it, lifted the blanket on her side, and crawled inside.

The blankets were warm and cozy, probably because the little fish had warmed the bed; it wasn't cold at all.

Ai Qing lay down comfortably, took out her phone, and thought of chatting with the authors in the group.

Then I felt something furry brush against my leg.

Ai Qing reached out and touched the little fish's tail.

"What are you doing?" Ai Qing chuckled and turned her head, giving him a hard pinch.

"Hmm..." Xiaoyu bit her lip and moved closer to Ai Qing. She struggled a couple of times with the cat tail in Ai Qing's hand before giving up and leaning her whole body against Ai Qing.

But the next second, Ai Qing sensed that something was wrong.

He quickly lifted the blanket to take a look—

The little fish was dressed in a cool, fluffy red bib and short skirt, with pure white frilly lace trim along the edges.

When Ai Qing looked up again, Xiao Yu had somehow put on a deer headdress and hung a bell around her neck.

"Brother, do you like it?"

Little Fish, with her innocent, big eyes, looked up at Ai Qing from his arms.

As she looked up, the bell around her neck jingled, which was particularly captivating.

"Wait a minute... let me go first..."

"No need." Xiaoyu pressed his body down, then took out a small box from under the pillow. "I've prepared everything."

Chapter 208 Transformation

On a beautiful night, the two of them explored the mission that humanity has pursued for thousands of years in their bedroom, working diligently and striving for perfection.

Ai Qing had imagined this scene countless times, and now her wish had finally come true.

However, unlike the girlfriend he had fantasized about before he was in a relationship—a girlfriend who was coy, alluring, and captivating—Xiaoyu didn't have the typical shy and bashful demeanor of a girl.

More than anything, there was curiosity, anticipation, and a strong desire to try, a spirit of exploration.

……

A surge of clouds and rain, a torrent of sweat, and life, in its full bloom, achieved great unity.

Ai Qing and Xiao Yu finally understood why dual cultivation techniques in some fantasy novels could always be mastered so quickly.

Almost immediately upon entering the body, the little fish could clearly feel the warm current, like a volcanic eruption, flowing directly into its body.

Both physically and mentally, I reached the peak and couldn't stop.

So Xiaoyu could only quickly kiss Aiqing's lips, transferring the warmth from her body to Aiqing in large gulps.

Ai Qing couldn't handle this at all, so she filled her whole body with warmth, instantly becoming energetic and vigorous, and no longer needed to worry about her physical strength.

So all the theoretical knowledge in my mind was put into practice, and no matter how difficult the posture was, it was all trash in front of the warm current.

The two of them were trying a delicious meal for the first time, and were somewhat indiscriminate in their hunger.

Adding to the heat, the warm current surged, leading to multiple battles throughout the night.

The result was that the warm current accumulated more and more.

Ai Qing and Xiao Yu didn't know how they finally fell asleep, but they felt a warm current flowing through their bodies, as if the current was about to solidify.

When I opened my eyes again, I was in high spirits, and my mind and body had reached a state of perfect harmony.

Ai Qing opened his eyes and looked at the room in front of him. His pajamas were nowhere to be found.

The little fish's reindeer outfit, on the other hand, was scattered piece by piece on the bed or the floor.

Thinking of the grand spectacle of last night, Ai Qing couldn't help but feel a little... um?

I just woke up, and I'm still a little disoriented.

After regaining her senses, Ai Qing realized that something was wrong.

My own hands and feet... feel strange.

Thinking this, Ai Qing looked down and was immediately stunned.

He opened his mouth as if to speak, but all he could hear was a "meow~".

With a whoosh, he stood up from the bed, his legs straight, but soon, due to his loss of balance, he returned to a quadrupedal position.

He looked shocked and quickly looked towards the window.

In the dim light, he saw what he looked like now... an orange tabby cat.

……

What's it like for a cat to turn into a human?

Only the little fish would know this.

But what's it like for a person to turn into a cat?

Ai Qing's previous book was about a female protagonist who could turn into a cat, but at this moment, he truly experienced the feeling firsthand.

The first point is the issue of perspective.

After transforming into a cat, a person's field of vision instantly becomes much lower.
