I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

"Okay." Bai Xiaoqi agreed readily without hesitation.

"So nice."

"You're being very good, trying to make me happy again." Bai Xiaoqi chuckled and gently pinched his nose with her hand. "But even if you don't try to make me happy, I'll still promise to massage your nose for you often."

"You saw through that?"

"You always say I'm stupid, but now you're suddenly praising me for being smart. That means you must have something up your sleeve."

"The word 'conspiracy' is inappropriate here; 'premeditation' is more appropriate."

"Oh, so it was premeditated."

Bai Xiaoqi readily complied, then released his nose and was about to continue massaging it when she picked up her phone and glanced at it. "It's time. I'll massage it for you tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll lie down for a bit longer and then get up."

Chen Shuo couldn't bear to part with the cat-shaped lap pillow, so he closed his eyes again and decided to lie down a little longer.

Bai Xiaoqi did not object. Although she had to remain kneeling, which inevitably made her legs feel numb, she felt that she could still bear it. Moreover, this way she could see him up close.

She liked looking at this guy, but most of the time she looked up at him, rarely from such a high vantage point as she was now.

As she looked down, she began to lean forward, not forgetting to gather her long, snow-white hair with her hands. However, a few strands of hair still fell onto Chen Shuo's face, tickling him and causing him to open his eyes. But when he saw that pretty face getting closer and closer, he closed his eyes again.

Little Meow has once again offered herself up to let me take advantage of her.

"The light is still on."

Before she knew it, Bai Xiaoqi found herself pinned down and being taken advantage of. She opened her hazy, alluring eyes, blushed, and whispered a reminder.

"The curtains are drawn, so no one can see us."

"No."

Bai Xiaoqi fidgeted, realizing she had forgotten to take his shorts with her when she showered today. She was only wearing a pair of pink panties with a bow, which were sticking out. She was very embarrassed if he saw them.

"Okay, I'll go turn it off."

Chen Shuo reluctantly released the warm, soft woman in his arms, propped himself up, stretched out his arm, and turned off the desk lamp.

The room was plunged into darkness in an instant.

Once her eyes adjusted to the bright light, she couldn't see anything clearly, but Bai Xiaoqi could see everything perfectly. This made her much bolder, and she sat up to straighten her nightgown.

"Come into bed quickly."

Soon, Chen Shuo's eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness. He pulled the blanket over himself and then lifted a corner to greet the darkness.

Bai Xiaoqi obediently crawled in, squirming and wriggling in the blankets, snuggling into his arms, hugging him tightly, and then poking her head out from under the blankets to rest it on his chest.

Chen Shuo hugged her back, gently stroking her long hair. Little A Miao was so soft to hold, it felt like she had no bones. She was so tiny and always liked to snuggle in his arms. She was such a good girl.

It's a pity he sleeps so badly.

Bai Xiaoqi was never a peaceful sleeper. She put her legs on Chen Shuo's body and reached her little hands into his clothes to grope around. First, she touched his abs, then moved them up and rubbed them all over before playfully pinching them.

"Just touch it, don't pinch it."

“I didn’t say anything even though you took advantage of me, and I learned all of this from you.”

"You only learn the bad things, not the good ones. Besides, I'm not just trying to take advantage of you..."

As he spoke, Chen Shuo leaned close to her ear and whispered something, "You understand, this is how you grow up."

"Pah, I don't believe your nonsense."

Bai Xiaoqi blushed slightly and spat, "You're definitely lying to me again."

Do you want to grow up?

"....In no mood."

Chen Shuo reached out and touched her little nose. "Liars' noses grow longer. Let me see if your nose has grown longer."

Bai Xiaoqi slapped his hand aside, "No one's nose grows longer."

"Then what do you mean by it getting longer?"

Upon hearing the question, Bai Xiaoqi immediately had an answer in her mind, but she refused to answer; this guy was the worst.

Seeing that she remained silent, Chen Shuo said, "Now I'll reveal the answer: it's Sun Wukong's golden cudgel. What's your answer?"

"It is also the Golden Cudgel."

"Is it Sun Wukong's?"

"....yes."

"I don't think your answer is right. Are you thinking of... well, the Six-Eared Macaque?"

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Xiaoqi reached out and pinched the soft flesh on his waist. Just as she was about to twist it, she blurted out the last few words and silently let go of his hand.

Are you getting the wrong idea?

"Go to sleep, or I'll..." she said, moving her hand down and grabbing it tightly.

"No, I'm already asleep." Chen Shuo closed his eyes and started snoring in a second.

"Humph.."

Bai Xiaoqi gave a soft hum, let go of his hand, snuggled closer to Chen Shuo, and wrapped herself around him like an octopus, using both hands and feet. Then she rubbed her little head against his chest for a while before closing her eyes to go to sleep.

"Goodnight, Ah Gou."

"..."

Chen Shuo didn't respond. Feeling her breathing gradually become calmer in his chest, he opened his eyes, leaned over and kissed her forehead. "Goodnight."

After replying with "goodnight," he closed his eyes again, this time genuinely going to sleep, not pretending.

Chapter 147 I am ashamed

With the start of summer just past in May, Yangcheng has officially entered summer.

The temperature is still bearable, so there's no need to turn on the air conditioner. Besides, the old air conditioner is really too expensive to run, so I bought a new large electric fan. I put it on the ground more than a meter high, and it even oscillates. Today is the first day of use, and it feels pretty good as it blows.

Bai Xiaoqi was eating watermelon in front of the fan, and while eating, she reached out and played with the electric fan, switching from the first speed to the second, then to the third and then to the fourth, and finally to the highest speed, the fifth.

The wind suddenly picked up, and you could hear a buzzing sound. Her cat ears were blown straight back, and her long, snow-white hair flew wildly.

"That felt great."

"You look like you've just been released from a mental hospital."

Chen Shuo was sitting on the sofa typing on his computer when he heard the sigh. He looked up at her and continued, "If you have nothing to do, go read a book for a while and learn something. Knowledge is power."

"It's the weekend, so I don't have to study."

"Then go do something else, don't just play with the electric fan there."

"......"

Bai Xiaoqi ignored him and continued eating watermelon and playing with the fan, since she had nothing else to do.

I've already finished the game, but the battles after that are giving me a headache. Those players have all sorts of weird teams, and the Pokémon they use are all ugly. My Pikachu is so cute, but I can't beat them.

It made me lose interest in games.

Now let's talk about that rascal Chen Shuo. Since he started his new book, all he does every day is write, write, write...

I spend more time with my computer than with myself, and I can't be jealous of it, nor can I bother it.

So... what's wrong with playing with an electric fan?

She took a big bite of watermelon, her cheeks bulging, then turned the electric fan back to the lowest setting, intending to play it again.

"That's not how you use an electric fan." Chen Shuo finally sighed, feeling that at this rate, the newly bought electric fan probably wouldn't last more than a few days before it broke down.

"You should talk to it."

"Don't you think it's silly to talk to an electric fan?"

Bai Xiaoqi turned around and looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, "Are you trying to say that it can chat with me?"

"Unless it becomes sentient, or you're insane, it's impossible for the situation you described to occur."

Chen Shuo stood up and walked to the electric fan. "Watch, I'll give you a demonstration."

"Qi~Qi~, why~ are you~ so~ silly~..."

It's a little embarrassing to do something that only children would do. After demonstrating it once, Chen Shuo coughed lightly, composed himself, and said, "Like this, did you learn it?"

"You're the one who's stupid!" Bai Xiaoqi retorted loudly at the electric fan.

Looks like I've learned it.

Chen Shuo sat back down at the computer and saw her making noises in front of the fan. He reminded her, "Stop playing for a while. It makes you seem childish. Oh, no, you've always been childish."

“You were even more childish when you were little, like a fool.”

"What can a few photos prove? They were all candid shots. Actually, I was very mature and intelligent when I was a child."

"My aunt said that when you were little, you watched Ultraman Tiga and would take a toy stick with you every day to transform with Tiga. A few times you even cried and shouted at the TV, 'Tiga, stand up!' She thought you had gone crazy."

With that, Bai Xiaoqi threw the leftover watermelon rind into the trash can, ran to the corner of the living room, took out Ultraman Tiga from the large cardboard box there, and held it high above her head, "Tiga, stand up!"

"Is that how you call it?" Her eyes crinkled, and she looked especially happy, her cat ears twitching twice.

"Holy shit..."

Memories of his immature teenage years flooded back, and Chen Shuo felt so ashamed he wanted to disappear into the ground, especially since she was imitating him, which made him feel even more embarrassed.

Lao Tzu's illustrious reputation.

"My mom didn't say anything else to you, did she?" he asked.

"Your aunt also said she took you to the zoo when you were little..."

"Stop, don't say anymore." Chen Shuo clutched his chest, feeling as if he had been shot in the knee with an arrow, but clutching his knee was inappropriate, so he could only clutch his chest, which was particularly painful, a feeling of betrayal.

Mom, how much of my embarrassing past did you tell her?

"...Actually, everyone goes through a rebellious phase and has definitely done embarrassing things. It's normal, and you probably have too."

Chen Shuo spoke softly, as if explaining to her, but more like comforting himself.
