I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

They seem innocent and guileless. I love being friends with people like that. It's so tiring to be around people who are too calculating. It's much better to be with someone who is innocent and guileless. It's so easy and relaxing to be around them.

She's lazy, even too lazy to make friends because it's too much trouble, and too lazy to date because it's even more troublesome, but being with this girl is no trouble at all.

“If you didn’t have a boyfriend, I would definitely pursue you, and then we could live together.” Anya suddenly said.

"???"

Bai Xiaoqi was completely stunned when she heard this, staring at her in shock.

"Copper...Copper Apricot Love?"

"Yeah, would you mind having another girlfriend?"

"I mind it very much."

"If you mind it a lot, then forget it. I also mind it quite a bit. Being a lesbian has no future. I'll just continue to like men."

"If you like men, why don't you find a boyfriend?" Bai Xiaoqi asked, looking a little wary.

"Didn't I tell you? I'm afraid of trouble, and who said I don't have a boyfriend?"

"Is there?"

“Yes.” Anya tossed her chestnut-brown wavy hair behind her ear and leaned closer, saying mysteriously, “Didn’t you two meet before?”

"Have you met before?"

“Buzz...buzz, it can even change gears.” Anya said, gesturing with her hand, “You asked me what it was back then.”

Thinking of this, Bai Xiaoqi's face instantly flushed red, and her lips trembled as she hesitated, unsure of what to say.

When I first met Anya, I thought she was pretty normal, but after spending more time with her, I realized that she was actually a female hooligan who even used that kind of thing.

It broadened my horizons and I felt awe-inspiring even though I didn't understand it.

"Ha ha...."

Anya covered her mouth and laughed heartily, "Let me tell you, actually that's more fun than having a boyfriend."

After being run over repeatedly with a car wheel, Bai Xiaoqi felt she couldn't go on like this. She crunched the lollipop in her mouth, threw the stick away, and said defiantly, "I think my boyfriend is more fun."

"Really? Then tell me... um..."

At that moment, the float on the river sank slightly, causing the fishing rod in her hand to twitch. Anya immediately fell silent and instinctively jerked the rod up.

The fish didn't come up; instead, she stumbled forward, nearly falling into the river. "This must be a big fish, quick..."

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Xiaoqi had already stepped forward to help hold the fishing rod, and then pulled it back. The fishing rod bent, the fishing line straightened and cut through the water, and a carp nearly 30 centimeters long was brought up directly.

Bai Xiaoqi unhooked the fish and threw it into the bucket. Anya stretched her arms and rubbed her waist, groaning for a while before asking, "How are you so strong?"

She recalled how she couldn't pull the fish up by herself when she was reeling it in earlier. But Bai Xiaoqi simply grabbed the fishing rod and pulled it back, and the fish was brought up instantly.

"It's because you're too weak."

Bai Xiaoqi took out some sunflower seeds from her pocket, cracked them open in her mouth, and said calmly, "You don't exercise every day, so it's normal that you're not strong."

"Is that so?"

"Yes."

“…”

Anya glanced at the fish in the bucket, then at herself, and took a sunflower seed out of her pocket and popped it into her mouth.

After taking a shower that evening, Chen Shuo turned on the washing machine, threw his clothes in, and then came out of the bathroom.

Bai Xiaoqi was standing on tiptoe on the balcony hanging clothes to dry. They were all underwear that she had just hand-washed after taking a shower. Hearing the noise, she turned around and asked, "Have you put the clothes in the washing machine?"

"It's in."

Chen Shuo responded and looked at Bai Xiaoqi on the balcony. Her face was rosy and moist after taking a bath, as if you could squeeze water out of it, like a ripe peach.

He walked over and hugged her from behind, then pressed his face against her neck and gently inhaled. Bai Xiaoqi felt ticklish from his breath and couldn't help but shrink her neck and push him away with her hands, "What are you doing?"

"Don't move, let me smell you properly." Chen Shuo smelled for a while, then raised his arm to smell it again. "We use the same shower gel, so why do you smell so good, but I don't smell at all?"

"Who said you have no flavor?"

"Is there?"

"Yes, I have."

Bai Xiaoqi pressed her face against his chest and sniffed, then deliberately wrinkled her little nose in disgust, "You smell stinky."

"You smell nice, I smell bad, we complement each other perfectly."

Chen Shuo smiled and let her go, then turned and went to the bathroom to fill a large basin with hot water, intending to soak his feet in it.

With renovations going on all day long, soaking my feet before bed every night has become an essential part of my routine, helping me relieve the day's fatigue.

When he brought out the hot water, Bai Xiaoqi was already sitting on the sofa waiting to soak her feet with him. Her two little feet were dangling back and forth, looking a little impatient.

Chen Shuo placed the basin in front of the sofa and first put his own feet in to test the temperature. When he felt the water temperature was about right, he grabbed the little feet that were wobbling around and put them into the water by their ankles. The water was a bit hot, which made Bai Xiaoqi whimper. It took her a while to get used to the water temperature.

"Does it feel good?"

"Uh-huh...."

Bai Xiaoqi was so comfortable that she didn't want to talk, she just hummed twice to show that King Meow Meow was very satisfied.

After a brief moment of quiet, she reverted to her true nature, her small, fair feet moving around, hooking around Chen Shuo's ankles and rubbing against him, then touching him all over, from his chest to his abs, and playfully pinching them a couple of times.

"Can you just shut up for a bit?"

"Who told you not to wear clothes?" Bai Xiaoqi retorted confidently. Not wearing clothes was an invitation for her to touch him, which had nothing to do with her; it was as if he had taken the initiative.

"It's not like you won't touch me if I put on clothes." Chen Shuo had long seen through this girl's true nature; she was just a little pervert.

I like the feeling of being a little sultry, but I'm also afraid of being exposed to the sun.

After washing for twenty minutes, the water temperature gradually cooled down. Chen Shuo first dried his feet with a towel, then said, "Come on, lift your feet."

"Ah."

Bai Xiaoqi obediently lifted her feet, and water droplets slid down her calves to her ankles, then down the arch of her feet, falling onto the water's surface and creating ripples.

Her fair little feet had been soaking in the hot water for a while, turning pink. Chen Shuo carefully cleaned them, then picked them up and kissed them, saying, "So cute."

Are you saying I'm cute or my feet are cute?

"Of course they're all cute."

Chen Shuo chuckled, took the basin to the bathroom to empty the water, spun the clothes out of the washing machine, hung them on the balcony, and then turned off the lights in the bathroom and living room. "Let's go back to our room and sleep."

"I want you to carry me." Bai Xiaoqi stood on the sofa and stretched out her arms to him.

"You're just being a spoiled brat."

Chen Shuo muttered to himself as he walked over, put one arm around her lower back and the other around her knees, and with a little effort, pulled her light and soft body into his arms.

Chapter 196 Someone Wants to Pursue Me

The bedroom was pitch black, with only a faint light coming through the gaps in the curtains. Bai Xiaoqi nestled in his arms and recounted the day's events. She did this every night before bed, just like reporting her schedule.

Chen Shuo would occasionally hum in agreement to show he was listening; he had now taken it as a bedtime story.

Nothing new, just a bunch of trivial things, a bit boring. Plus, her voice is so soft and sweet, it's like a lullaby when you listen to it late at night, making you sleepier the more you listen. Perfect for listening to before bed.

"Then Ya Ya said that the ice cream was so expensive, and said that she wanted to make it at home and sell it with me. I said that we could only sell it until 7:45, and she said that we would not sell it then, and would make it for ourselves."

After rambling on, Bai Xiaoqi waited for a while, but Chen Shuo didn't reply, not even a simple "hmm".

When she looked up, her little mouth immediately pouted. This guy actually had his eyes closed, and not only that, he was snoring.

He rambled on and on, and this guy just went to sleep. What a jerk.

She angrily reached out to pinch Chen Shuo awake, but then withdrew her hand and whispered in his ear, "Someone said they wanted to pursue me today."

"What?" Chen Shuo had just fallen asleep when he heard this and was instantly awakened. All his sleepiness vanished without a trace. Someone was actually eyeing his little cabbage.

"Who wants to pursue you?"

"Yaya."

"Anya?" Chen Shuo was stunned. He carefully recalled his experiences of meeting her several times and felt that the woman did not seem to be a lesbian; she seemed quite normal.

Wait, no, you can't tell if it's a lesbian relationship or not. People wouldn't do *that* with a girl in front of you.

Is it possible that she's joking with you?

Bai Xiaoqi didn't answer the question, but said, "She said if you didn't have a boyfriend, I would pursue you, but I have a boyfriend, so she asked me if I would mind having another girlfriend."

"So what did you say? You didn't mind?"

"Of course I said I minded. I'm not stupid. Then she said that if I minded, then forget it. She also minded quite a bit. She even said that being a lesbian has no future and that she wants to continue liking men."

"Since she said that, it means that what she said about pursuing you was just a joke. Can't you tell?"

"You can tell, huh? I just wanted to talk to you about this. Who told you to go to sleep and ignore me?"

"So you're deliberately trying to keep me from sleeping?"

"Yes, it was intentional."

Chen Shuo didn't expect this guy to have the nerve to admit it. He took out his phone and glanced at the time: 1:53 a.m.

Then he turned the phone screen back to her and said, "Look at the time!"

"I won't watch it."

Bai Xiaoqi turned her head to the side; as long as she didn't look, it wouldn't be too late.

Besides, we're busy with renovations every day, so we can only spend time together at night. What's wrong with sleeping in a little later?

If I go to bed too early, I'll wake up in the morning and then we'll have to separate again.

Hold me.

"No, I want to sleep."

"Please hug me, please hug me..."
