Why bother with dating when you already have a cat?

She thought to herself that if she could bite through this thing, she could rescue Ai Qing.

Ai Qing, on the other end of the phone, was startled by Xiao Yu's suddenly wide-open mouth and wondered if she had offended her.

Why does she keep opening her mouth to bite him?

"Hey, don't bite! Gently, gently," Ai Qing quickly said. "What if you bite it and hurt it? Let go, let go."

After the little fish turned into a human, its teeth weren't as sharp, and it didn't manage to bite the watch much. In the end, it let go of the watch with great disappointment.

This time, with the help of the reflection from her watch, Ai Qing finally managed to see Xiao Yu's expression clearly. Seeing her worried look, she tried to put herself in her shoes.

He then moved his phone away and said, "Don't overthink it. I'm still outside. Just think of it as the same as when we took the photos, except that people can move around."

After saying that, he looked back at his phone.

The little fish opposite her stared wide-eyed at Ai Qing going in and out like this, feeling like her brain couldn't keep up and her mind was greatly shocked.

So... how did Ai Qing do that?

Amazing!

Even though he's out of the house, he can still fly into her watch and talk to her anytime?

Xiaoyu poked Aiqing in the watch with her finger, still a little uneasy, and tried to take a few more bites.

Ai Qing, sitting opposite, looked speechless: "I told you not to bite, thank goodness, at least this time it was a little gentler."

"I told you it's nothing, but you still wouldn't believe me."

"You see, I came in and then came out again, right?"

As soon as I finished speaking, the phone screen went black.

Ai Qing was stunned for a moment, then she realized what was happening.

It's likely that the little fish bit the hang-up button while it was nibbling, causing the call to end abruptly.

Ai Qing is doing alright.

Little Fish was getting anxious.

This time, as soon as she let go, she found that the watch screen went black, which immediately scared Xiaoyu so much that her face turned pale.

She reached up and touched her mouth, as if she had just eaten Xiao Aiqing, and began to feel anxious and uncertain.

But she didn't know which part of the watch she had pressed that made Ai Qing appear inside it.

And with the warm current exhausted, she turned back into a kitten.

Ai Qing was too far away from her; the warmth she felt was only a tiny thread connecting her, barely enough to fill a tooth gap.

So the little fish could only squat at the doorway, meowing helplessly towards the outside.

……

Ai Qing, who had just left the bathroom, was still unaware of the situation at home.

He walked to the sink and washed his hands as usual.

He turned his head and saw a man with dyed blue hair giving him a suggestive smile.

He found it a bit inexplicable.

The blue-haired man chuckled and said, "Brother, you've got some fun. Where's the girl? Still inside?"

Ai Qing: "...?"

What is this person saying?

Ignoring the guy, Ai Qing walked straight out of the bathroom and went to the lobby on the first floor.

The band on stage was ready, and the guests were taking their seats one after another, with a constant flow of people in the aisles.

The men indulged in debauchery here, while the girls dressed up in their finest attire, vying for attention under the neon lights, creating a dazzling spectacle.

Ai Qing disliked the environment, especially when the band started playing, the deafening sound suddenly drilling into Ai Qing's ears, which was even more unbearable.

Fortunately, Wu Yong shared the same idea as him.

After finding Wu Yong and Kong Fugui in the lobby, Ai Qing and the other two only briefly experienced the atmosphere in front of the stage before returning to their booth on the second floor.

It's still quite noisy here, but it's a little better than downstairs.

But when he returned to his booth, he didn't see Xiao Youqian anywhere.

Turning my head, I saw her in the next booth, drinking and chatting with two guys, and they seemed to be having a good time.

However, after seeing the three of them return, Xiao Youqian clinked glasses with the two of them, finished her drink, got up and walked back to sit next to Ai Qing.

"Why did you go over there to drink?" Ai Qing asked curiously.

"Huh? You guys abandoned me here, of course I have to find my own fun." Xiao Youqian rolled her eyes at him. "But those two aren't my type right now, they're not very appealing."

"Let's drink, let's drink." Kong Fugui didn't care and directly invited, "What do you want to do?"

But the two men at the next table suddenly stood up, holding their wine glasses, and walked over to their table, smiling frivolously: "Are there any empty seats? Would you mind adding a couple more?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mind," Xiao Youqian said with a smile to the two of them. "We had a good chat just now, don't disappoint me. Now I have to go with my friend."

"How about we add each other on WeChat?" one of the men asked, a little reluctantly. "Let's meet up for drinks again next time."

“I come here often. If we run into each other again, it means we’re destined to meet.” Xiao Youqian shook her finger. “I’m a believer in fate. Let’s add each other on WeChat next time we meet.”

Xiao Youqian took the two men away.

Kong Fugui watched with a smile, not saying a word from beginning to end, before finally teasing, "When did you start believing in fate?"

"Just now." Xiao Youqian shrugged, then raised her glass and clinked it with Ai Qing, who was standing closest to her, before downing it in one gulp. "I hope my question didn't spoil your drinking."

"Sister Qian's greatest pleasure here is drinking." Kong Fugui handed her a new glass of fruit wine. "Otherwise, I wouldn't bother coming to a bar with three grown men like me; I'd just go to a street food stall."

“I think street food stalls are not bad either,” Wu Yong said honestly.

He had served in the army for several years, and this time, upon his return, he was immediately taken to a bar with bright lights and a lively atmosphere, which he found quite difficult to adjust to.

"Anyway, this is just this once. In the future, we might as well find a place to play mahjong." Ai Qing took a sip of wine and said, "I'd better finish this quickly so I can go home sooner."

"Why the rush?" Kong Fugui glanced at him. "Do you have a girlfriend at home pressuring you to get back together?"

"What girlfriend did I get?" Ai Qing glared at him. "I just can't break my biological clock. I'm in the midst of a new book release, and the results are crucial. If it flops, are you going to support me?"

“Sure,” Kong Fugui said matter-of-factly. “We’re brothers, if you fall ill, I definitely won’t let you end up homeless.”

"Then I really thank you." Ai Qing rolled her eyes.

In fact, if he really fails miserably, he will just slink back home, rely on his parents, and look for a job.

The real problem is... he doesn't know what kind of job he can find.

Aside from common jobs that don't require much expertise, like delivering food or working as a waitress, Ai Qing can't really do anything else.

I've long forgotten all the professional knowledge I learned in college.

"You can work as a receptionist at my pet hospital sometime," Xiao Youqian said with a grin. "Don't waste your face."

The group chatted and drank while playing dice.

The loser plays Truth or Dare, purely as a conversation starter.

This time, Kong Fugui lost and chose to tell the truth.

Xiao Youqian chuckled and pressed on with the question she'd asked in the car earlier: "How old is your little girlfriend, exactly?"

"Ahem." Kong Fugui took a sip of wine and said softly, "I'm about six or seven years younger than Sister Qian."

"You little rascal," Xiao Youqian pouted, "Don't tell me you're still in school."

"Keep going, keep going." Kong Fugui threw the dice into the pot and shook it vigorously. "Sister Qian, you just wait."

This time it was Ai Qing's turn to lose.

"The truth."

"Let me ask!" Xiao Youqian's gossip spirit was burning brightly. She didn't need anyone else to rack their brains to think of a question, and asked directly out of curiosity, "What did you do with the women's underwear and dress you bought the other day?"

"Give it away." Ai Qing said succinctly, then immediately began rolling the dice to start the next round.

"Really?" Xiao Youqian asked skeptically. "You're always holed up in your room writing novels, what kind of girls could you possibly meet?"

"Who cares if he knows him or not?" Kong Fugui chuckled, enjoying the thrill of having an information advantage. "What else did you expect? He can't possibly dress himself, can he?"

"Ahem..." Xiao Youqian was a little embarrassed, then said softly, "Actually, I had guessed that before. After all, it's quite normal for modern people to have their own little hobbies."

"Sister Qian, don't overthink it!" Ai Qing was speechless. "I can't even fit into women's sizes."

In the next round, Wu Yong lost.

Xiao Youqian asked, "What's the name of the girl you like?"

Wu Yong honestly replied, "Pan Hongmei."

The other three people present fell silent instantly.

"I suddenly feel so guilty," Kong Fugui said in a low voice.

Xiao Youqian clutched her chest: "Xiao Yong, this... I feel my conscience is aching."

"You've taken Truth or Dare to a whole new level," Ai Qing exclaimed. "You've really broken their defenses."

Composing themselves, everyone toasted Wu Yong with a glass of wine.

In the fourth round, Xiao Youqian finally lost.

"Sister Qian." Kong Fugui chuckled, rubbed his wrists, twisted his neck, and stood up to warm up.

"Ask if you have any questions." Xiao Youqian rolled her eyes at him. "I don't have anything I can't tell you."

"What are the ages of the oldest and youngest boyfriends you've ever dated?" Kong Fugui asked after thinking for a long time.

"Let me think." Xiao Youqian was really stumped by his question. After thinking carefully for a while, she said, "The oldest one... should be 29 years old. He's a senior of mine who has already graduated, but he should be in his thirties now."

"The youngest one... umm..." Xiao Youqian was a little embarrassed, but still whispered, "A little brother who just finished the college entrance examination. I didn't ask for his exact age."

"How many have you been with?" Kong Fugui looked you up and down. "And you like dating younger men, huh?"
