Why bother with dating when you already have a cat?

As for Xiao Youqian, there really wasn't any.

Purely inexperienced yet loves to play.

She knows how to play this game, and it seems she has a boyfriend who likes it, so she often accompanies him to internet cafes, and that's how she learned to play it.

"This game is really not suitable to play with your girlfriend, it'll easily cause high blood pressure," Kong Fugui said while picking up a gun. "It's much more comfortable to play with your buddies."

"You've even brought your girlfriend along?" Ai Qing asked casually as she searched for supplies.

"I was too lazy to go shopping, so I dragged my girlfriend to an internet cafe. It turned out to be even more torturous than shopping." Kong Fugui shook his head repeatedly. "You absolutely must never bring your girlfriend to an internet cafe again."

I don't have a girlfriend.

As for Xiaoyu, if she had an ID card, Ai Qing wouldn't mind bringing her to try it out.

However, if you just want to play games, it's perfectly fine to do so at home.

Ai Qing stroked her chin, deep in thought.

His laptop was originally a gaming laptop, so it could still run games like PUBG with the graphics settings turned down a bit.

However, given Xiaoyu's learning ability, it's already so troublesome just learning Chinese, so Aiqing doesn't have much faith in her efficiency in learning to use a computer.

Not to mention playing video games.

How about we consider some simple games?

Ai Qing suddenly remembered that he also had a tablet.

I rarely use it, so it just sits at home collecting dust.

I'll try to find it when I have some free time, and give it to Xiaoyu to play with. It's a small game like Fruit Ninja. Ai Qing sometimes sees kittens playing it in short videos.

Now that the little fish can turn into a human, it can't be weaker than a regular cat, right?

In that moment of distraction, Ai Qing was shot dead while on her way.

"What's wrong with you?" Kong Fugui asked in surprise when he noticed Ai Qing had fallen to the ground and was quickly taken care of. "Why were you daydreaming?"

"Oh, oh, I'll be careful next time." Ai Qing coughed a little embarrassedly.

That's terrible.

Now, even when I go out to play, all I can think about is Xiaoyu.

He's just too responsible!

Now that Xiaoyu has been able to become a human, Ai Qing hopes that she can gradually learn to integrate into this society and at least master basic life skills.

But clearly, the little fish is still a long way from that goal.

Taking advantage of the moment when she was already dead and could only wait for Kong Fugui and the others, Ai Qing exited the game interface, opened Baidu, and started searching.

How can unregistered individuals obtain an ID card?

How can I obtain an ID card without a birth certificate or biological parents?

What things can't you do without an ID card?

After flipping through a large pile, Ai Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, living simply in China, not having an ID card isn't a particularly troublesome thing.

Especially for people like Xiaoyu who rarely leave their homes, staying at home doesn't really require an ID card.

Even when going out, normal consumption and entertainment are generally fine, unless it's a hotel or internet cafe that explicitly requires ID registration.

However, it would be best to download WeChat for Xiaoyu; having it would make things much more convenient.

Then I'll have to buy her a cell phone... Ai Qing pondered, stroking her chin, and glanced at the cell phone in her hand that she had been using for three or four years.

Yes, I really need to get a new phone.

Let's get rid of this old one and let the little fish mess with it; that way, we won't feel bad if it gets damaged.

However, Ai Qing's rent is paid one month in advance and one month's rent as deposit. Since moving in in February, she has already paid a deposit of 2,000 yuan and rent of 4,000 yuan in April.

I have to pay the 2,000 yuan rent for April in May.

Despite his frugal lifestyle over the past two months, and with his monthly royalties of around a thousand yuan, he still didn't have enough money to buy a new phone.

I currently have about five thousand left in savings.

If it weren't for the new book's decent sales... Holy crap!

Thinking about this, Ai Qing suddenly realized that her new book should have already been featured on Xinghe's recommendation list by 2 PM today.

He quickly opened the Qidian app, glanced at Xinghe's recommendations, and soon found his book, "My Childhood Sweetheart Will Turn into a Cat," and a relieved expression immediately appeared on his face.

Today, Kong Fugui dragged me around catching cats all afternoon, and then he dragged me to an internet cafe. My mind was still preoccupied with Xiaoyu.

I almost forgot about one of the most important events in my life.

Seeing her book title displayed on Xinghe's recommendation page, Ai Qing looked satisfied, just waiting for it to be released next Friday so she could earn royalties to support her little fish.

"What are you looking at?" Kong Fugui's voice came from the side. "Are your books on this?"

Startled, Ai Qing quickly turned her phone around to face him, keeping her composure as she said, "I was just reading and studying. Are you done?"

"That's it, let's start the next game!" Kong Fugui didn't think much and turned to start the next game.

But when Ai Qing turned around, he found that Xiao Youqian on the other side could see his phone screen perfectly.

When Xiao Youqian saw him looking over, she just smiled with her eyes narrowed, gave him a thumbs up, and whispered, "Very impressive."

Ai Qing: "..."

Damn it, you two are really... stuck in the middle, it's really not easy being someone.

"Old Wu, can I switch seats with you?"

"Guess why I'm sitting against the wall?" Wu Yong asked honestly.

Chapter 51 Sanitary Napkins

At 10 p.m., Wu Yong got up to go home.

"The nightlife only just begins at ten o'clock, and you're already abandoning your brothers?" Kong Fugui asked, his eyes wide.

“If I go back too late, my mom will nag me for days, it’s so annoying.” Wu Yong picked at his ear, not taking Kong Fugui’s words seriously. “I have to go back, and I have to go to work tomorrow.”

"How's your PE teacher's teaching certificate coming along?" Ai Qing asked.

"It should be sorted out before summer vacation," Wu Yong nodded. "Thanks to Gui Gui's help."

"Want to thank me? Play another round?"

"I already thanked you."

"How heartless men are."

"Alright, alright." Xiao Youqian stood up as well. "I'll go home, take a shower, put on a face mask, and then go to sleep."

"Let's go then." Ai Qing turned off the computer, glanced at the time, and felt a little bad about leaving Xiao Yu alone in her room for so long.

Thinking this, after leaving the internet cafe and saying goodbye to Wu Yong and Kong Fugui, Ai Qing followed Xiao Youqian all the way to the gate of the north area of ​​the community.

"You're pretty good, Ai Qing." Xiao Youqian chuckled after the two left, nudging his waist with her elbow. "I saw your book. Is this some kind of support from the platform?"

"This is a featured spot on the website; if your data is good, you can compete for it." Ai Qing touched her nose, a little embarrassed, but also thinking that it was nice to have someone to share the good news with.

Since Xiao Youqian already knew what book he had written, Ai Qing felt relieved and relaxed, as she put down her burden.

"I've been watching," Xiao Youqian said with a smile, her eyes narrowing. "I have to say, I'm starting to understand why you don't have a girlfriend, haha~"

"What's wrong? How can you tell?" Ai Qing asked, both curious and puzzled.

“Because the heroines in your stories are just so wonderful,” Xiao Youqian said, shaking her head. “If you were still in junior high or high school, but had the mind of a mature adult, I believe you might be able to win over such a wonderful girl.”

"But you're about to graduate from university now, and you haven't even found a girlfriend in college."

"To be honest, finding a girl like the one in your book in society is like finding a needle in a haystack."

The male and female protagonists of "My Childhood Sweetheart Will Turn into a Cat" are both high school seniors who will soon face the college entrance examination.

Under such pressure, the female protagonist suddenly discovers that she turns into a cat every night, but cannot leave a certain area of ​​the male protagonist next door.

The two then embark on a series of daily adventures filled with wit, courage, and shared struggles.

The plot is progressing quite quickly right now.

After more than 100,000 words, although the male protagonist has not yet revealed that the kitten in his arms is his childhood sweetheart, the two have become more aware of each other's feelings through their deeper understanding of each other.

Before the male lead discovered the truth, the female lead often lingered in front of him in the guise of a kitten, and he would often confide his inner troubles and worries.

When the female lead was going to school before, she missed the bus because she woke up late. The male lead took the bus to school first and even laughed at her for being a lazy pig.

That night, while cuddling with her kitten, she said, "I'd better go next door to wake her up in the future, so she won't be late for the college entrance exam."

In class, the female protagonist was called on by the teacher to answer a math question, but she kept stammering and couldn't find a solution.

The male protagonist chuckled to himself, and afterwards he talked to her at length about various ways to solve the problem, acting as if he were very impressive.

But once at home, she'll say, "How can I casually lend her my error notebook? This person is really stupid. There's a math prodigy with 140 points right next to her, and she doesn't even know how to take advantage of it."

All of this led the female protagonist to gradually realize that this guy just liked to say one thing and mean another; he was actually... a pretty good person.

After hearing so many of these little stories, the female protagonist gradually became gentler, and her previously irritable temper subsided considerably.

Gradually, the female protagonist realized that the male protagonist did care about her quite a bit, and a doubt began to grow in her heart—does he like me?

Once the seed sprouts, it begins to grow uncontrollably.

"That's wonderful." Xiao Youqian looked up at the sky. "If we could truly have this kind of pure love, wouldn't life be without regrets? I feel like I'm already getting hooked on it. You should update more often!"

Damn! Asking for updates offline, is that even possible?

Sister Qian lives right across from me; it feels so dangerous.

Will I be getting razor blades delivered to my door in the future?

"During the new book period, I'll still write 4000 words a day. Once it's officially released, I'll try to write 6000 words a day," Ai Qing said. "Unless someone gives me a reward like a patron saint, I won't add extra chapters. Writing too many chapters at once will disrupt the update schedule and lower the quality."

"What's a leader of the alliance?" Xiao Youqian asked curiously, opening her phone and scrolling through it. "Is this it?"

"No... Sister Qian, you... wait, not that!" Ai Qing's eyes widened as she watched Sister Qian directly cast a Silver Alliance, her breath catching in her throat. "The Alliance Leader only costs a thousand yuan, but this is a ten-thousand-yuan Silver Alliance! That's too expensive."
