Why bother with dating when you already have a cat?

Besides pretty girls and these games, the third most numerous videos are long videos that are ten or twenty minutes long.

The little fish clicked in out of curiosity, only to exit completely bewildered.

They talked about economic growth, the real estate bubble, the international situation, the tense Sino-US relations, the trade war, and so on.

It was all stuff that the little fish couldn't understand.

In her memory, Ai Qing seemed to really enjoy watching these cryptic videos while eating.

I don't know what's so interesting about it.

Little Fish's cat paws aren't good at typing either, so she can only click around and take a look.

However, when choosing a video, Xiaoyu accidentally clicked on her Bilibili profile.

Out of curiosity, Xiaoyu tried clicking into Ai Qing's following list and discovered that he had even carefully categorized them.

There are a dozen or so content creators I follow closely, many of whom make long videos, but I'm not really interested in them.

Below is a category called "Various Official Accounts," which leads to the official accounts of various companies or other entities.

Below that are categories such as "Games", "Practical", "Exercise", and "Knowledge".

In addition, there is a category called "Pretty Ladies", which stands out in particular.

Little Fish glanced at the number—over a hundred?!

Ai Qing only follows a little over four hundred people in total!

This one category alone already accounts for a quarter of the population.

Xiaoyu clicked into this category and carefully looked at the profiles and videos of these young ladies, nodding occasionally, thinking to herself that Ai Qing liked this kind of clothing.

Hmm... I've never seen a long, flowing skirt like this before, nor a skirt with a side slit like this, and the black and white stockings on her legs... I've never seen anything like it before either.

But did Ai Qing buy this kind of clothing before?

Xiaoyu stared at a girl in a JK uniform dancing in a video and fell into deep thought.

She remembered that after buying the outfit, Ai Qing simply washed it in the washing machine as usual, and then kept it in the closet without ever taking it out.

So far, Xiaoyu has only worn two dresses.

Looking at the girls in the video wearing all sorts of colorful clothes, Xiaoyu was actually a little envious.

However, she had no money and couldn't afford new clothes.

Ai Qing works very hard to earn money, and Xiao Yu feels that having two dresses to alternate wearing is enough.

Thinking this, Xiaoyu exited the "Pretty Girls" category and clicked on the next category—"Novel Source Material".

Chapter 90 The Beauty Trap?

As the saying goes, "Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles."

If a person wants to understand the world, they either need to read more about other people's experiences in books, or they need to go out and measure the world with their own footsteps.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages.

However, on the internet today, the former is undoubtedly easier to accomplish.

People who use smartphones nowadays are almost constantly receiving glimpses of other people's lives.

For Ai Qing, gathering material is also a similar matter.

Either look inward and delve into your own heart and experiences.

Alternatively, one can go outwards and collect stories and insights from others.

Therefore, when browsing Bilibili, if you come across a content creator whose life is something you've never experienced before and is very unique, making you want to imagine such a person appearing in your own novel.

Then he would add the other person to his "fiction source material" follow list.

Therefore, this category contains all sorts of content creators of all types.

Xiaoyu just browsed through them briefly and found many different types of videos.

Some of them are directors of their own long videos. They were once famous in a popular team, but later left on their own and still gained millions of fans through their own abilities.

There are also magicians who were already famous in their early years, but can still perform and explain magic tricks to young viewers in a friendly and humble way on Bilibili.

Some people sang, while others analyzed the songs.

There are interior designers and furniture sellers.

Some analyze emotional problems, while others sell emotional anxiety.

Some lectures cover Chinese history, while others cover foreign history.

Even things that Ai Qing rarely looks at, such as divination, are saved in his research list.

Disabled people, freelance singers, virtual singers, editors, makeup artists, firefighters, traffic police, civil engineers, food delivery drivers, guzheng players, pianists, inheritors of traditional crafts, quirky inventors...

It has about 150 followers, more than the number of "pretty young ladies".

If the category list of "pretty young ladies" represents the ultimate, singular, and pure beauty.

However, this category of "novel subject matter" encompasses everything, including all aspects of life.

Ai Qing draws inspiration from this and also experiences the lives of others.

While traveling thousands of miles can certainly provide a more firsthand experience, many professions and lifestyles mean that he is unlikely to experience them personally in his lifetime.

Fortunately, this era has given him such an opportunity, allowing him to find details of their lives without any obstacles on the Internet, simply by touching the screen of his mobile phone.

It may not be entirely true, but it's much more real than him just daydreaming.

Xiaoyu couldn't understand any of this; after seeing Aiqing's following list, she only felt a sense of novelty.

Look at this and that, each one seems very interesting.

What's even more interesting is that, although the types of content creators here are incredibly diverse, some of them are so unique that you wouldn't even know how to categorize them.

However, there is one type of content creator who is significantly more numerous.

Perhaps Ai Qing's book is about romance, because Xiaoyu has already found several couple-themed YouTubers.

"Is this what it feels like to be in love?" Xiaoyu looked at the couples showing affection in the video, her cat-like face reflecting a thoughtful expression under the glow of the phone screen.

She felt that the atmosphere when she was with Ai Qing was no worse than that of these people.

Why are they a couple, while I and Ai Qing are just brother and sister?

It’s weird.

Unfortunately, lunchtime wasn't long enough, and before Xiaoyu could get her fill of watching, familiar footsteps could be heard outside the door.

The little fish was quick and agile, but its cat paws were rather clumsy. It took several tries to exit the following list and return to the homepage before it randomly clicked on a video.

At this moment, Ai Qing pushed open the door and entered, but found nothing unusual.

"Alright, lunch break is over." Ai Qing picked up her phone and glanced at the video playing.

Hmm... it's a story PV for Madoka Kaname.

Does Little Fish like watching this?

Let her play this game when she has some free time, just don't let her spend any money on it.

Sigh, I really envy Xiaoyu.

He has a wonderful older brother like him.

This state of being able to enjoy life without any worries is truly wonderful.

Even Ai Qing has to worry every day about whether her book will fall apart, where the plot isn't good enough, and whether she can make enough money for next month's royalties.

If this book doesn't last long, will my next book achieve the same success?

These are all current or future challenges.

But the little fish can enjoy the game without any distractions.

Unlike Ai Qing, who might get distracted while playing games and wonder if she should write a little more.

After typing for a long time, I feel guilty, as if I'm wasting the time I spend trying to write.

"Meow?"

Seeing him deep in thought, the little fish couldn't help but meow twice.

Ai Qing snapped out of her reverie, looked at Xiao Yu, and smiled gently, but in her heart she was thinking, "I can't let Xiao Yu have it so easy."

Now that the time it takes for the little fish to become human is getting longer and longer, they can't neglect their regular schoolwork.

Although the little fish can already speak normally with people, it is still quite a distance from being a mature and normal human being.

Many of the basic common sense knowledge that children should have developed over a decade or more of exposure to from a young age may be missing from Xiaoyu's knowledge.

It still needs to be made up for gradually.

But I have other things to do today.

"Grandma told me to see if I can catch a few more stray cats this afternoon and take them to Sister Qian's place for vaccinations and spaying/neutering," Ai Qing said to Xiao Yu on the bed. "Are you staying in your room, or coming with me?"

"Meow~" The little fish came closer to Ai Qing and reached out to touch his clothes.

Ai Qing squatted down and let her jump onto her shoulder.

"Alright, let's go." Ai Qing smiled, enjoying the unspoken understanding. As she left, she reminded him, "We've agreed beforehand that when we're out catching cats, you can't touch them or any other cats, understand?"

He didn't mean anything by it; he was simply thinking of Xiaoyu's well-being. After all, stray cats in the wild might carry some bacteria and viruses, so it's better to avoid direct contact.

Of course, the little fish has always been dewormed on time.

Now that she can become human and her physical condition is very good, Ai Qing is a little unsure whether Xiao Yu will get diseases that only humans get after she becomes human.

I'm not sure about that right now.

"Meow~" the little fish responded, nodding its head as if agreeing to Ai Qing's request.

After going downstairs, Ai Qing glanced at the yard but didn't see any stray cats.

This is also normal.

After all, usually only in the evening, when his grandmother prepares cat food and makes a sound by banging on the bowl, will the stray cats in the neighborhood rush into the yard like students storming the cafeteria.
