Why bother with dating when you already have a cat?

[Editor Guagua]: Specifically, you were originally ranked 18th, but as long as the books ahead of you are fine, you definitely won't be ranked higher.

[Editor Guagua]: But it seems like one book fell apart last weekend, and when I was following it on Tuesday, the reading progress suddenly dropped.

[Editor Guagua]: And since you happen to be in the queue and it's an original light novel, they'll definitely push you up. Make the most of it, it's going to be available for purchase next Friday.

【Flowers Bloom Around the Corner】: Okay!

Ai Qing was in a good mood and directly posted a screenshot of her Star River recommendation to the author group she usually chatted with.

I shared this great news with them and expressed my sincere gratitude to the guy who messed up the plot.

After saying that, he put his phone aside and started cooking seriously.

Half an hour later, he brought his food to the dining table in the living room and sat down to enjoy his dinner, only to find that many people in the group had tagged him.

I clicked in and scrolled straight to the top of the messages, only to find that the group members were just gossiping and having fun.

Just as Ai Qing was sharing her experience of being recommended by Xinghe, the group was discussing why Qingshan Xu hadn't made it onto Xinghe.

【The cat in the sky loves to rain】: So this is the corner that replaced the top of the green mountain?

[Little Rag Doll]: I've almost forgotten who said the book "Turning the Corner" was no good.

[Qingshan Preface]: What's with the sarcastic tone? He's just lucky, otherwise that spot would have been mine!

[Qingshan Preface]: His writing is short, so the first subscription is just so-so. What's the use of getting on Xinghe? It's just a waste of a spot.

Ai Qing glanced at Qingshan Xu's impotent rage, then closed QQ, opened a political commentary video, and patted the head of Xiaoyu, who had just turned back into a cat:

"Little Fish, we're about to make a lot of money. When we do, we'll buy you all sorts of nice things."

"Meow~"

Chapter 45 Even Beautiful Girls Need to Go to the Toilet

To be honest, Ai Qing didn't expect Qingshan Xu to break down in the group chat.

He stopped paying attention to the author group while eating, and instead watched videos while eating. It wasn't until he cleared the table and returned to his bedroom that he realized he had been added to a new group.

Looking at the number of people, there are currently about fifty or so, all of whom are old acquaintances from the previous group.

He signed a contract with the Qidian Group 9 editorial team and joined the official contract signing group created by the Group 9 editorial team last year.

However, some gossip and rumors are not suitable for discussion under the editor's nose.

That's how the group of authors came about.

Most of us are authors from Group 9, and we've all come together from humble beginnings to become struggling writers, so we have a deep bond of friendship.

Ai Qing rarely joins author groups; when she needs to stay informed about industry news, she usually only uses this one group.

As for Qingshan Xu, this guy is a group-husband. Ever since he wrote a masterpiece, he has joined a huge number of author groups.

After several books flopped, he remained arrogant and self-important, still believing himself to be among the ranks of top authors.

In contrast, the person in the group who is known for having 10,000 subscribers, "White Sugar Dipped in Vinegar," has a much more normal personality.

[White sugar dipped in vinegar]: There's no point in arguing with that green hill; it's better to just ignore him.

[Little Ragdoll]: Hahaha~ I wanted to keep watching the drama unfold.

【The cat in the sky loves rain】: Turning the corner is no good either. They show off and then run away, leaving me to clean up their mess. Let's stick to chatting in this small group from now on.

【Flowers Bloom Around the Corner】: What's going on?

【The cat in the sky loves to rain】: Just go and check the chat history of that group.

Out of curiosity, Ai Qing glanced at the chat history of that group and took a quick look.

In summary, it's quite simple.

Qingshan Xu felt quite resentful that Ai Qing had taken his spot in the Galaxy Recommendation Program.

It would be fine if it were any other author.

He made a sarcastic comment about the romance novel "Turning the Corner and the Flowers Bloom" in the group chat, saying that it was definitely not a good book.

Now, he's been featured on Xinghe Recommendations by stepping on his head.

If it's truly a case of someone with incredible talent and ability, then that's one thing.

But actually, it was because he didn't handle a plot point well last week, which caused his readership to drop and thus he missed out on the spot.

This makes it a little hard to hold back.

I was also in the group chat with Bai Tangzhancu at the time. I noticed he was feeling a bit down, so I offered him some words of comfort and also chatted with him about the issues with his book.

After all, he is an author with tens of thousands of subscriptions, and he has a habit of browsing and reading books on the bestseller lists, so he is also reading Aoyama Preface.

The points he made were all spot-on and insightful.

This made Aoyama Xu blush a little, and he was only thinking about how to refute the argument about white sugar dipped in vinegar. In the end, he couldn't win the argument, so he started to make personal attacks and spread his AOE in the group.

When things got too out of hand, the group admin, "The Cat in the Sky Loves Rain," had no choice but to mute everyone and then secretly created a smaller group.

After reading the chat history, Ai Qing shook her head, thinking to herself that this guy's mentality was really bad.

But on second thought, that makes sense. It was precisely because of my bad attitude that I abandoned Aoyama's masterpiece, which had 3000 average subscriptions.

This new book finally made it to the Galaxy Recommendation threshold, and it seemed like it had a chance to become another excellent book, but it was squeezed out of the list.

But that has nothing to do with Ai Qing.

After all, the recommendation slots were assigned by the editors and the website, and he couldn't decide that himself.

If you're going to write a book, just focus on writing it. Don't get into arguments with people, and you can't earn them extra royalties anyway.

Instead of wasting time, it would be better to teach the little fish more pinyin and words.

With that in mind, Ai Qing continued writing that night, planning to stockpile chapters in preparation for the big update next week when the book goes on sale.

He went to bed around 10 p.m.

……

At three o'clock in the morning, Ai Qing was half-asleep when she was awakened by a noise.

However, over the past month or so, he has gotten used to this routine.

I rubbed my eyes, opened them, and looked around. Sure enough, it was Little Fish who was up to something.

She was lying on the ground with her head close to the litter box, her paws digging inside, and it was unclear what she was doing.

"Little Fish, what are you doing?"

Ai Qing moved to the edge of the bed, looked down at the little fish on the ground, and asked helplessly while covering her forehead.

"Hmm..." Xiaoyu was startled at first, but when she realized that Ai had woken up, she looked up at him, quickly sat up, and tried to organize her thoughts, "I, here, umm!"

As she spoke, Xiaoyu pointed to her belly, a pained expression on her face, then pointed to the litter box and made a digging motion with her hands: "Go in and bury it."

Ai Qing: "...Are you going to poop?"

Although the language used is a bit crude, that's the gist of the matter.

Seeing Xiaoyu nod vigorously, Ai Qing immediately sat up from the bed, then jumped to the floor and pulled Xiaoyu up from the ground: "Come on, come on, you've become a human and can't use the litter box anymore."

"Well?"

Xiaoyu was a little lost and was led to the toilet by Aiqing.

“I actually told you before, but I thought you wouldn’t need to use the toilet after you turned into a human. It seems I was wrong.” Ai Qing stroked her chin and analyzed for a while, then looked at Xiao Yu, “You’ve seen this before, right? Just sit on this and do it like you do in the litter box.”

Little Fish blinked, looked at Ai Qing, then at the toilet, and then, mimicking Ai Qing's usual posture, plopped down on the toilet.

"Hey, hey, hey, you can't just sit down." Ai Qing looked exasperated and pulled Xiao Yu up again, gesturing in front of her. "You have to lift up your skirt first, then take off your underwear, the kind you're wearing underneath, understand?"

Xiaoyu tilted her head. To be honest, the only thing Aiqing hadn't taught her during this time was how to take off her clothes.

After all, I really don't know how to teach it.

Having had little contact with girls' bodies since childhood, Ai Qing always subconsciously avoided this question.

But now the arrow is on the bowstring, and there's no choice but to release it.

Seeing Xiaoyu's bewildered expression, Ai Qing gritted her teeth and simply stretched out her hands: "Don't move, I'll help you take it off."

With a trembling heart, he controlled his trembling hands and reached inside the hem of her dress.

The pure white fabric slowly fell, rubbing against the snow-white skin of her legs, making an alluring rustling sound.

Ai Qing didn't take it off completely, only up to Xiao Yu's knees, and then gently touched the back of her skirt, gesturing for her to sit down again.

Now, the little fish was finally in contact with the toilet seat without any obstruction.

A pure white object was stuck between her knees, her skirt covering her thighs, and the girl squatted on the toilet, bathed in the warm glow of the bathroom light.

This scene is very beautiful.

Unfortunately, even beautiful girls poop!

With a subconscious sense of melancholy, Ai Qing gave some instructions and then left the bathroom: "Don't move after you're done. This is different from when you're in the litter box; you have to wipe your bottom."

Chapter 46 The Unbearable Night

According to legend, once a couple in love moves in together, they will face a profound test of their relationship.

Couples who used to only spend time together in their free time have now become someone who sees each other every moment at home.

This is something that seems wonderful and desirable to those who haven't experienced it.

But those who have actually experienced it will find that...

I never knew my dear partner could smell so bad when using the toilet!

It grinds its teeth, snores, and pulls at the blanket while sleeping.

They don't brush their teeth before bed, don't wash their hands after using the toilet, wear socks and underwear for several days, and leave clothes piled up for a week before washing.

They don't like cooking, only order takeout, and leave takeout trash piled on the table without throwing it away.

They don't have the habit of tidying up; after using something, they just leave it lying around, and when they want to use it again, they can't find it even after searching the whole house.

Irregular sleep schedule, always working day and night, phone always on at night, never seen during the day.
