Why bother with dating when you already have a cat?

With a little dressing up, she can be quite a pretty girl when she goes out.

After a moment's thought, Ai Qing had an idea and discussed it with Li Qiqi.

Meanwhile, Wu Yong and Xie Qiaohe played in the cat cafe for two or three hours. When it was almost evening, they said goodbye and left, presumably to go out for dinner together.

congratulations.

……

The following afternoon.

Xiao Youqian brought her entire set of cosmetics to the cat cafe.

Ai Qing was holding a camera, recording Li Qiqi's daily work of taking care of the cats.

The main focus is on highlighting the cousin's gentleness and thoughtfulness.

But at this moment, Li Qiqi was without makeup.

Although she takes good care of herself and has a good complexion, she definitely can't hide her dark circles.

She looks quite pretty, and Ai Qing also filmed the video from a medium to long distance to avoid exposing any flaws in her appearance.

Once the filming was almost finished, Ai Qing then had Xiao Youqian come on stage to help Li Qiqi get ready and put on a beautiful makeup.

This wave has transformed the ugly duckling into a beautiful swan.

Li Qiqi was already quite beautiful to begin with, and with makeup she's now a stunning young woman who could probably charm a lot of young men.

Ai Qing looked at Li Qiqi through the camera, smacking her lips, thinking to herself that if she really found a boyfriend, she would have to ask her aunt for a red envelope.

However, while Ai Qing was filming a marriage proposal video for Li Qiqi, Xiao Yu, who was standing nearby, had already started chatting with Xiao Youqian.

"Sister Youqian, it's my brother's birthday in a few days. Will you have time then?"

Yes, what kind of activities do you have?

"I'm planning to invite you all over for dinner to celebrate my brother's birthday," Xiaoyu said. "Could you ask my brother's friends if they're free?"

"elder brother."

"Ok?"

Do you prefer strawberries or chocolate?

"Chocolate, please."

What kind of fruit do you like to put in the cake?

"chocolate."

Little Fish: "?"

January has arrived, and the weather is already quite cold; the temperature can even drop below zero in the early morning.

Coupled with the rain these past two days, the damp and cold wind relentlessly seeps into your ankles and collar as soon as you step outside.

Even at home, as soon as you open a window, a cold wind will force its way into your house.

Fortunately, the cat cafe has air conditioning that's always on, but you have to go downstairs and walk a bit every day and endure the cold wind.

However, when Ai Qing thought about the working people and students who have to go to work and school, she didn't complain so much anymore.

If it weren't for running a cat cafe that required her to come over every day to watch over the cats and upload videos to the homeless shelter's account, Ai Qing, a full-time online novelist, could easily go ten days or half a month without leaving the house.

I stay in my room until the hair around my ears gets too long and uncomfortable, then I go out to get a haircut.

Every day, I have to beg the delivery guy to take my trash downstairs.

However, after having Xiaoyu, Ai Qing's life was obviously completely different.

This morning, Ai Qing was at home writing, and after handing over the task of filming videos to Li Qiqi, she was being questioned by Xiao Yu to provide her with suggestions for birthday arrangements.

From childhood to adulthood, apart from birthdays before junior high school that were specially arranged by her parents, Ai Qing had never enjoyed this kind of treatment.

Ai Qing himself didn't have any particular longing for his birthday, but seeing Xiao Yu's serious expression as she took notes and thought about it, he couldn't help but smile.

I think this is pretty good.

The feeling of being pampered and cared for is undeniably quite intoxicating.

Ai Qing herself didn't have any special requirements for her birthday, so she let Xiao Yu do whatever she wanted.

Judging from these questions she's asking now, she's probably planning to make her own birthday cake.

"All the birthday cakes I see online have fruit at the bottom."

Little Fish looked puzzled and asked, "Brother, don't you like it?"

"I have no idea who came up with this idea." Ai Qing couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Cake is so delicious, and fruit is so delicious, but they just had to put the two together and make it taste terrible."

Ai Qing has always been a stickler for pure food; she doesn't really like food where two things that should be separate are mixed together.

For example, adding fruit to cakes, or milk tea that's increasingly resembling eight-treasure porridge with added ingredients.

These were foods that his taste buds couldn't comprehend.

He doesn't care what others like, but if possible, he'd rather not have to eat this kind of thing on his birthday.

“I’ve written it down.” Xiaoyu carefully wrote down Ai Qing’s preferences in her phone’s notes app, and then asked, “How about we have hot pot on her birthday? Grandma said she can lend me her induction cooker.”

“I invited Sister Youqian, two of your friends, and Qiqi.”

"I also asked Sister Hu Tian, ​​but she said she doesn't like overly lively occasions, so she declined."

“That makes six people.” Ai Qing calculated for a moment, then said, “We’ll have hot pot at home then. Otherwise, with six people and a table full of dishes, you’ll be busy from noon until night.”

"Mainly because the weather is getting cold, I'm afraid the food will get cold quickly after I cook it." Xiaoyu chuckled and said cleverly, "Hot pot can keep the food hot all the time, and it's also quite convenient."

Ai Qing nodded to indicate that she understood and told Xiao Yu to make the arrangements herself.

Around 10 a.m., Ai Qing finished typing and stretched in her chair.

The little fish next to her had also made plans for her birthday that day.

In the morning, we go out with Ai Qing to play. We can go shopping, watch a movie, and then have lunch at Yintai.

I came back in the afternoon to prepare the birthday cake, as well as the ingredients and seasonings for the hot pot in the evening.

The little fish's calculations were very precise; every stroke of the pen outlined her plan.

Ai Qing let her make these plans.

He used to be the one who made the plans and decided what to do when the two of them went out.

Now that Xiaoyu has grown up, she finally has the ability and the will to make her own decisions, and has begun to take the initiative to decide on the daily arrangements for the two of them.

Ai Qing herself was happy with this pre-planned arrangement and enjoyed it.

……

On the morning of January 7th, Ai Qing woke up in bed and stretched.

After sticking his arm out from under the covers, he groped around on the floor for a bit, put on the pajamas that Xiaoyu had pulled off the night before, and then got out of bed to go to the toilet with his bare bottom exposed.

After a shiver, Ai washed her hands and face, and after clearing her head a little, she looked at herself in the mirror and touched her neck.

"They kissed way too hard, like they were farming."

Looking at the hickey on her neck, Ai Qing clicked her tongue, but her eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness.

Young people who have just tasted the pleasures of life, coupled with the incredible power of warmth, are bound to find it hard to resist.

It feels like lately, the slightest hint of a conflict could escalate into a full-blown argument between the two of them.

As the saying goes, girls tend to be more reserved. Even if they really want something, they still have to put on a show.

But Xiaoyu had no concept of this at all, and was sometimes even more direct than Aiqing.

Ai Qing still had some pride, and sometimes she would hide her inner desires.

First, touch the little fish's hands, then lift her onto your lap and touch the smooth skin of your thigh, then reach inside the little fish's clothes and feel around.

After Xiaoyu started panting, he tacitly picked her up and carried her to the bed.

But the small fish are different.

She should just say what she wants.

She ran to Ai Qing's lap and sat down, her eyes clear and bright. She put her mouth close to his ear and said directly, "Brother, I want it."

This is unbelievable! How am I supposed to refuse?

Ai Qing could only be thankful that the two of them could use the warm current, otherwise he really wondered if he would have been drained dry on the little fish's belly.

"elder brother."

"It's happened so many times yesterday, can you let me rest for a bit?" Ai Qing came out of the bathroom, and her expression changed immediately when she heard Xiao Yu on the bed calling her brother. "Although the warm current is very strong, I'm still a little worried about my health."

"What are you talking about?" Xiaoyu sat up in bed with a confused look, letting the blanket slip off her chest. She rubbed her eyes and looked at Ai Qing. "I wanted to ask my brother to help me take my clothes down."

"Oh, I see." Ai Qing looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her and suddenly felt a warmth in her chest. She quickly looked away and ran to get clothes for Xiao Yu.

After Xiaoyu got dressed, she immediately threw herself into Ai Qing's arms, rubbing her little face against his chest. Finally, she looked up at him with her pure and innocent face and said softly, "Happy birthday, brother."

Ai Qing hugged her tightly and couldn't help but kiss her, then kiss her again. It took her a long time to react before she quickly let go of Xiao Yu, afraid that she would lose control and waste the morning.

After getting ready, the two practiced Vajra Kung Fu at seven o'clock, and then went downstairs hand in hand to have breakfast.

It was already quite cold in Hangzhou in January. Xiaoyu was wrapped up like a little dumpling by Aiqing, who wore four layers of clothes in total, afraid that she would get cold. She looked adorable.

Aunt Xu, who runs the breakfast shop, is already quite familiar with Xiaoyu. Seeing her follow Ai Qing into the shop, she smiled and asked, "Is it the same as usual today?"

"Okay, thank you for your help, Auntie." Xiaoyu nodded, but still reminded her, "Just make sure the wontons have scallions, not cilantro."

The two of them ate roughly the same breakfast every day.

Ai Qing is used to eating a bowl of wontons to warm her stomach, while Xiao Yu loves the shredded pork noodles at this restaurant and never gets tired of them.

In addition, we would also order a steamer of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) and a serving of six pan-fried dumplings.

Xiaoyu also has a big appetite, and the two of them shared the soup equally. Xiaoyu even drank half of Aiqing's wonton soup.

The two sat down close together in the shop; it was very cold in the middle of winter.
