I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

She fiddled with her long hair with her fingers, stared at Chen Shuo for a long time, and suddenly said, "Actually, I'm a very delicate girl, but I'm a little strong."

Is it a little bit or a hundred million bits?

"a little."

"Oh~ a billion."

With a tone of sudden realization, Chen Shuo asked again, "Why did you deliberately emphasize that you were very weak?"

"I..."

Bai Xiaoqi was a little unsure how to answer, and her movements as she fiddled with her hair gradually slowed down. "I really am very fragile."

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared in Chen Shuo's eyes. He did it a few dozen more times before standing up and opening his arms to her. "Come on, let me hug our delicate girl."

"Um..."

Bai Xiaoqi put on her slippers and obediently rushed into his arms. Chen Shuo hugged her and closed his eyes to carefully feel the warmth and softness in his arms.

He knew very well that the girl in his arms was worried, even afraid, afraid that he would think she was a cruel person.

This also shows that she really likes herself. Girls will show their vulnerable side in front of the person they like, and hope to leave a vulnerable image in the other person's mind, even if she is not actually vulnerable, she will pretend to be vulnerable.

If she didn't like it, there was no need to pretend, and she wouldn't deliberately emphasize to herself that she was actually a very weak girl.

Just like some girls can carry a 20-liter water bottle with great strides, or even a gas cylinder with ease, but in front of someone they like, they can't even open the bottle cap.

To put it simply, it's in a girl's nature to want to be cared for and protected.

Men are often drawn to delicate women because it triggers their protective instincts; thus, men and women are genetically complementary.

Bai Xiaoqi always acted harmless in front of him, looking soft and sweet. Not to mention, she liked to cling to him and whine and beg for kisses and hugs all the time.

This is actually her showing her vulnerable side, and I have always felt that she is very vulnerable.

As for whether she is gentle or weak, or what her past was like.

These things are actually not important, and Chen Shuo never thought of asking them.

“In my heart, you have always been a gentle girl, so you don’t need to emphasize it.”

"Ah."

Chen Shuo patted Bai Xiaoqi's back lightly twice, "Stop hugging my waist, I need to go take a shower."

"No, I'll kiss you first, then you go..."

Chapter 140 What do you know?

It started to drizzle again in the middle of the night, tapping softly on the window. Far from being noisy, it actually made it easier to fall asleep.

The Qingming Festival has passed, and according to the solar terms, we have now reached the Grain Rain season. It is said that the earliest method of recording years was created by Fuxi. This ancestor calculated it based on the movement of the moon. Because the moon was also called Taiyin Star in ancient times, it was called the lunar calendar.

Later, during the Xia Dynasty, a great man observed the sun's movement and then, based on the lunar calendar, deduced a combined lunar and yin-yang calendar. This great man was named Wan Nian, so the lunar calendar is also called the Wan Nian calendar.

Of course, these may just be legends, but whether it is the lunar calendar or the traditional Chinese calendar, they must have been calculated by the ancients. The ancients are truly admirable because their calculations were incredibly accurate.

The twenty-four solar terms have made clear the way for the Chinese people.

Just like the Grain Rain season now, which refers to a period of heavy rainfall, and then it really starts to rain. But in fact, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are in the plum rain season, where it can rain for ten days to half a month.

Yangcheng is located in the north, so there is relatively less rain. When Chen Shuo woke up in the morning, he looked out the window. The rain was about to stop, but a thin fog had formed in the air, making the visibility very poor.

If the rain stops, the sky will clear up again once the sun comes out, but the weather forecast says it will rain for three days, so it's very likely it won't stop.

However, this kind of weather is actually quite suitable for going out. The light drizzle, walking on the damp road with an umbrella, and the moisture in the mist make the air feel fresh, which is really enjoyable.

So the two of them went out with their umbrellas, deciding to go for a walk and find a restaurant to eat something.

Unable to hold hands while holding an umbrella, Bai Xiaoqi clung to his arm, half-hugging and half-embracing him as they walked, enjoying the intimacy she loved.

As she walked, she suddenly remembered something, took out her phone from her pocket and took a picture of Chen Shuo's arm holding the umbrella, then took a picture of the surrounding environment, and then uploaded the video to Douyin.

Chen Shuo could see clearly that the title he chose this time was—"My Boyfriend and I Go Out Together."

Did anyone watch the video you posted last night?

"Yes, and some people even liked my post."

Bai Xiaoqi found the video she uploaded yesterday. It had thirteen views and two likes, but no comments yet. However, she believed there would be comments soon.

Chen Shuo felt that the thirteen views were probably from accidental clicks, and the likes were likely accidental.

Anyway, he didn't think there was anything interesting about him typing on the keyboard.

However, this girl has truly lived up to Douyin's slogan—Douyin, record the beautiful life.

Others might dismiss this as nonsense, but she genuinely used it to record her life—very mundane and boring things. I don't know how bored a person would be to click on it.

Just as Bai Xiaoqi was about to put her phone back in her pocket, she suddenly saw a comment appear with a like, and immediately became excited, "Someone thanked me..."

She couldn't continue halfway through her sentence, and the excitement on her face disappeared. There were indeed thank you comments, but they were just ordinary thank yous.

I don't know what I was expecting, but I'm grateful for this boring video that wasted 49 precious seconds of my life.

"This guy is quite interesting." Chen Shuo couldn't help but chuckle. And he was right, it was indeed very boring. But judging from the reply, this guy seemed to have actually finished reading it.

"What's so funny?"

Bai Xiaoqi pouted, gave him a slightly dissatisfied look, and then started typing, preparing to reply to the comment.

[It's not boring at all; I really enjoy watching my boyfriend type.]

"Just because you like it doesn't mean others do, and there's really no need to reply to comments like this."

"Then I'll reply too."

As the two were talking, the newly posted video also received a reply, and judging from the ID, it was the same person as before. Actually, you don't even need to look at the ID; you can tell just by looking at the reply style.

I don't know why I specifically clicked into the homepage, but thanks to the second boring video, this time I wasted fifty-one precious seconds of my life.

"This person is... kind of annoying."

Bai Xiaoqi wanted to say "I hate it," but seeing that the other person had even liked it, she decided to change it to "I kind of hate it."

Is watching your own videos a waste of time?

Not at all!

She felt offended.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Xiaoqi didn't reply anymore. Instead, she went directly to the other person's profile and decided to leave a similarly boring comment under this person's video.

The person with the ID "(是雅雅不是鸭鸭)" has over 30,000 followers and can be considered a minor internet celebrity. They have also posted over a dozen videos, and the content of the videos indicates that they are a woman.

The dozen or so videos all teach people how to make various drinks. They all don't show faces; at most, you can see a pair of girls' hands, and the voices are also female.

After watching all the videos one by one, Bai Xiaoqi felt deflated. She felt she couldn't make any boring comments unless she went against her conscience.

Because the other party's videos are all instructional, and the drinks all look delicious.

Chen Shuo could not fathom her inner thoughts; he simply looked around and finally settled on a Suzhou-style noodle shop not far away.

A light drizzle was falling, and the weather was slightly cool, perfect for eating something hot.

Yangcheng is also a city that eats noodles, but most of them are dry noodles, and soup noodles like those in Suzhou style are rare.

There was a large glass counter in the shop, displaying various toppings, numbering in the dozens.

On the owner's recommendation, Chen Shuo ordered two bowls of fresh bamboo shoot noodles, topped with braised pork, and also ordered two boiled eggs.

The noodles would take a while, so Chen Shuo carried two boiled eggs and pulled her to a seat. It was a little past ten in the morning, too late for breakfast or lunch, and they were the only customers in the restaurant.

"Look, this person said the same thing as you."

Bai Xiaoqi handed her phone to Chen Shuo, then picked up a boiled egg and started peeling it. Chen Shuo took the phone and saw that it was that Ya Ya Ya who had replied to her message.

Just because you like it doesn't mean others do. It's really boring.

[You're watching this because you're bored.]

Because I'm bored too.

"Is this person really that boring?"

Bai Xiaoqi fed the peeled egg to Chen Shuo. It wasn't a tea egg or a braised egg, just a regular boiled egg. The freshly peeled egg was tender and white, just like her skin.

"You two are both pretty boring."

Chen Shuo ate an egg and gave his evaluation.

At this moment, the owner brought over two bowls of noodles. Bai Xiaoqi took the phone from his hand, took a video, and posted it on Douyin with the title: "Eating noodles with my boyfriend."

Chen Shuo broke off a pair of chopsticks and handed them to her, saying, "I think if you post this video, that person will probably comment that it's boring or something."

"Let her comment, just ignore her."

"You seem to have a pretty positive outlook."

The only thing in this world that should not be missed is good food. The two buried their heads in their noodles and did not speak again. After eating only a little more than half of their noodles, Chen Shuo saw Bai Xiaoqi put down her chopsticks, pick up her phone and start tapping away on her phone again.

"Didn't you just say you were ignoring her?"

"No, I think I should still reply to her."

"whatever."

Chen Shuo continued stuffing noodles into his mouth, then glanced at the screen.

What do you know? Do you even know how delicious noodles are?

How incredibly boring.

Chapter 141 Ask Me Yourself (Bonus Chapter for Yang Shiling)

Yangcheng's noodles are all about the noodles themselves, resulting in a chewy and smooth texture. Suzhou-style noodles, on the other hand, are not as chewy as those from Yangcheng, relying more on the toppings and broth, but they have a unique and delicious flavor.

The owner's accent also had a Wu dialect flavor, so he was probably from Suzhou. The new store is open, and the food is not only delicious, but also plentiful and reasonably priced.

"Let's go for a walk before going home."

As I left the noodle shop, a light drizzle was still falling outside, the water was murky and the clouds were thin, creating a unique atmosphere.

As they passed a milk tea shop, Bai Xiaoqi involuntarily stopped, grabbed Chen Shuo's arm and shook it twice, "I want to drink milk tea."
