I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

After drinking a bowl of hot brown sugar ginger water, Bai Xiaoqi felt sweating all over and wanted to eat an ice cream to cool down, but was refused.

Even as I sat down in front of the fan, I was pulled back. "I just worked up a sweat; it'll be easy to catch a cold if you turn on the fan."

I couldn't even take a shower. I waited on the sofa for half an hour before I was finally allowed to go into the bathroom.

After taking a shower, I threw my old nightgown into the washing machine and changed into a new one.

As long as they don't go out, they can wander around the house all day in their pajamas, feeling comfortable and at ease. Both of them maintain this habit.

After drinking a bellyful of brown sugar ginger water, without needing to eat breakfast, Chen Shuo hunched over the coffee table, writing something with paper and pen.

Bai Xiaoqi leaned over and took a look. Half a page was covered in dense writing, which made her head spin. She was about to snuggle into his arms when she remembered that he had just pinned her down on the sofa and made her drink a lot of hot water, so she gave up on the idea.

He snorted, turned on his computer, checked out the online stores, and then picked up his game console to start playing games.

Weekends are great, no need to study.

She just couldn't beat others in games. Bai Xiaoqi lay on the sofa, her two snow-white little feet sticking up high and swinging back and forth.

"strawberry."

"What kind of grass..."

Bai Xiaoqi turned to look at him, then suddenly realized it was the strawberry pattern on her panties. She quickly pulled down the hem of her nightgown to block his view, and then her two little feet started to wriggle, each kick hitting Chen Shuo's body.

"What does it have to do with me that you revealed it yourself?"

"Humph."

The kick was weak and didn't hurt much, so Chen Shuo ignored it and continued writing on the coffee table with his head down.

My ID card and household registration book are being made and will be mailed over in a few days. I need to make a list of the things I need to process so I don't forget them later.

Bank cards, phone cards, and a whole bunch of other things to register: WeChat accounts, Taobao accounts, Zhifubao accounts. Some don't require registration; you can just change the linked identity information and then change the phone card.

He wrote down each item one by one, not knowing if he had missed any. Chen Shuo gently tapped his forehead with the cap of his pen, and then crossed out the words "passbook".

The interest rate on demand deposits is only 0.3%, so it's better to keep the money in Yu'ebao (Alipay's money market fund).

All her money totaled around 20,000 yuan, which she kept in Yu'ebao (Alipay's money market fund). She earned more than one yuan in interest every day, which made Xiao A Miao extremely happy. She felt like she had made a huge profit.

After finishing writing, Chen Shuo picked up the paper and read it line by line. Feeling that there was nothing missing, he folded it up and put it in the drawer.

He turned to look at her, then took her little feet that had been gently kicking him.

Feeling her feet being enveloped in a pair of large hands, the warmth transferring to her toes, Bai Xiaoqi instinctively stiffened, then relaxed, asking without turning her head, "Are you finished writing?"

"Hmm, how did you know? Do you have eyes in the back of your head?"

"Because you touched my foot."

"I see." Chen Shuo suddenly realized, lifted his clothes, stuffed the little foot he was holding inside, then pulled his clothes down again, turned on his computer and started typing.

Bai Xiaoqi cooperated by turning over and lying flat on the sofa, putting a cushion behind her head, and then gently rubbing her feet against his stomach.

My boyfriend is a foot fetishist; he'll touch my feet whenever he gets the chance, and if he doesn't, he's probably busy with something else.

When I'm done with my work, I'll keep touching him. Even if I can't touch him while he's typing, I'll still put my feet inside his clothes like this.

He claims to be a foot fetishist, but he's actually a womanizer.

If one day he becomes an old man, with white hair and beard, hunched over and needing to rest after every few steps, and needing a cane to go out, he will definitely still be very lecherous.

because...

"Men are lustful until the moment they close their eyes, right?" she asked with certainty.

“Women are the same,” Chen Shuo added.

"Women don't do it, only men do, because lust is in men's nature."

"But catgirls do."

"I certainly won't."

"Then why do you touch me every day?"

"..."

Bai Xiaoqi refused to answer the question. So what if she touched him all over when they slept at night? That didn't prove she was a lecher.

Even if it's lust... but that bastard once said that lust for only one person is called liking, so touching him every day means I like him.

Bai Xiaoqi's phone vibrated. She put down her handheld game console and picked up her phone instead. It was a message from Wu Yulan in the group chat.

To be precise, it's a video. It shows a small, dark room where a group of people are making something, stirring a large, dark vat.

The accompanying text shocked 1.4 billion people: So this is how the soy sauce we eat every day is made.

It seems that middle-aged women like to post these kinds of things, and Wu Yulan is no exception. She posts them every few days, and they are either fake eggs, plastic rice, or things like carcinogenicity.

They keep shocking people every day, I wonder if 1.4 billion people get tired of it.

At first, Bai Xiaoqi believed it and was shocked along with him, but after Chen Shuo said it a few times, she stopped believing it.

Chen Shuo also saw the video in the family group chat, put his phone back in his pocket, and said, "This is fake too."

Bai Xiaoqi didn't say anything, but held the phone to her ear to listen to the voice message Wu Yulan sent, "Did you see that? It's so scary. You have to be careful when buying soy sauce in the future. Buy big brands and don't buy those little brands that you've never even heard of. They might be from some shady workshop."

"Okay, I understand, Auntie." She pressed the voice button and replied to Wu Yulan.

Normally, only Bai Xiaoqi would reply to shocking messages like these posted in the group, and she would reply regardless of whether she believed them or not.

Chen Shuo wouldn't reply at all, and even if he did, he would only reply with one sentence: "Mom, have you downloaded the National Anti-Fraud Center APP? If not, download it quickly."

As for Chen Jianwen, he usually just listened to Wu Yulan's ramblings on the spot.

Chapter 160 A Bit of a Loss

After watching a video of a clandestine workshop, Chen Shuo said that the dark liquid inside might be soy sauce, but since he hadn't tasted it, he couldn't draw any conclusions.

Bai Xiaoqi was skeptical, but when she cooked lunch, she specifically checked the soy sauce in her house and found that they were all well-known brands, which put her at ease.

Then for lunch, we had braised pork belly, with both dark and light soy sauce in it, resulting in a rich, dark sauce with a slightly sweet taste.

In the summer, I often lose my appetite, so I steamed a small pot of rice, just enough for one bowl each.

Having been together for so long, the two of them have a clear understanding of their own appetites. When cooking at home, they usually only cook one dish, which saves money and avoids waste, so there are rarely any leftovers.

As usual, Bai Xiaoqi uploaded a video to Douyin before the two of them started eating.

The meat is layered with fat and lean, and it trembles when picked up with chopsticks. After being stewed in a pot for half a day, it becomes tender, flavorful, and goes especially well with rice.

After taking a couple of bites, Bai Xiaoqi ran over and switched the fan from level one to level two. She felt that the fan was better than the air conditioner; not only could she play with it, but it also provided a refreshing breeze as soon as it was turned on.

The second-level wind wasn't too strong, just enough to make her cat ears on her head sway slightly. She comfortably squinted her eyes, picked up her bowl, and ate a couple of mouthfuls of rice. Humans are truly amazing; electricity is definitely humanity's greatest invention.

How did humans invent electricity?

Seeing her make that silly sound again, Chen Shuo corrected her: "It's not an invention, it's a discovery. Isn't lightning in the sky electricity? Isn't the electricity on an electric eel? Electricity has always existed. It's just that with the advancement of technology, humans have been able to collect electricity and then use it in our lives."

"How was it used?"

"You'll understand these problems once you learn physics. You've only finished elementary school Chinese, and you haven't even reached fourth grade in math yet. You need to finish your elementary school math course quickly, and then I'll buy you middle school textbooks. Then you can start learning physics."

Oh, you can also study chemistry, biology, history, and geography.

"..."

Bai Xiaoqi stared at him with her mouth slightly agape, a look of disbelief on her face. She was already exhausted from studying math and Chinese, and now she had to learn so much more in middle school?!

No, I have to find a way to refuse.

"Don't look at me like that. Actually, you don't need to study much of these courses. For example, in chemistry and physics, you just need to know the basic principles; in history, you just need to know the development of history; in geography, you just need to be able to distinguish east from west. As for biology..."

Chen Shuo thought for a moment, but he didn't know which key points of biology he should teach her, or the physiological knowledge within it.

It seems like it's possible.

But who knows if this girl knows more than I do? After all, she spends all her time searching for random questions online, so who knows how broad her knowledge is now?

When those issues are occasionally brought up, she always blushes and berates herself for being vulgar and shameless, calling herself a wicked little brat who pretends to be ignorant when she knows the truth.

He shook his head and sighed, picked up a piece of braised pork, put it in his mouth, swallowed it, and then said, "Anyway, there's not much to learn, and it won't take up too much of your time, so you won't get tired, understand?"

After dinner, Chen Shuo took the bowls to the kitchen to wash them, and then sat on the sofa with an ice cream each, enjoying the breeze from the fan.

Why go out in this sweltering heat? Staying home with your girlfriend, eating ice cream, and enjoying the fan is the only way to go out.

.......

As evening approached, the fool went out. Bai Xiaoqi dressed neatly and ran out to buy groceries, without taking Chen Shuo with her, because the idiot had to write, saying that someone had given him a reward and he had to update the chapters today.

Bai Xiaoqi was walking in the neighborhood when she spotted an old woman carrying a basket in the distance. She recognized her; the woman was her neighbor across the hall. They often ran into each other, but they weren't very close—just a nod and a greeting.

Chen Shuo said that this old lady was the head of the community's intelligence department, someone we couldn't afford to offend, so we should be polite to her.

As they got closer, Bai Xiaoqi greeted her politely, "Hello, Aunt Liu."

"You're going out by yourself today?" Aunt Liu nodded with a smile, but then looked a little puzzled. The young couple across the hall were always together, so why was this girl all by herself today?

"Yes, he's busy." Bai Xiaoqi noticed the basket the other person was carrying, which contained one, two, three, five eggs. "Did Aunt Liu just come back from grocery shopping?"

"No, who buys five eggs when buying groceries? I got these eggs from the supermarket. There's a new supermarket over there having a promotion where you can get free eggs by lining up..."

......

In summer, it gets dark late. It's past 8 p.m. before nightfall, and the sky is already quite dark.

Chen Shuo closed his laptop, rubbed his sore eyes, took a can of Coke from the refrigerator and took a sip, then looked down from the balcony railing. He had been out buying groceries for so long, and he felt a little worried.

Just as I was about to make a call to ask, I heard the sound of a key turning at the door. Bai Xiaoqi came in from outside, closed the door, put the bags she was carrying on the shoe cabinet, and then changed into slippers.

"Why did it take you so long to buy groceries? I thought you were lost."

Bai Xiaoqi rummaged through the pockets of her sun-protective clothing, pulling out five eggs from two pockets and placing them on the coffee table. She held them in her hands until they stopped rolling, then removed them, her face beaming with joy. "Look what this is!"

"If this isn't an egg, then what is it...? Wait, you bought five eggs?"

"Who bought five eggs with their groceries? It's because a newly opened supermarket over there was having a promotion where they were giving away free eggs if you lined up. I lined up for more than half an hour before I got them."

"Is it really necessary for these five eggs?" Chen Shuo felt a bit cheated. He wasted so much time and only got five eggs, and she was so happy, feeling like she got a great deal.

I don't know whether to say she's silly or easily satisfied.

She looks like a young girl, but she acts like an old lady, even queuing up to get eggs.
