I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

"Foot fetish is foot fetish, but the perverts behind it are another story."

"If I had to say it, you'd be a complete pervert!"

"laugh..."

Chen Shuo scoffed dismissively, picked up the basin of water, and turned to leave.

The word "pervert" used to be quite damaging to him, but now that he's gotten used to it, it's nothing special, it doesn't bother him anymore.

He even planned to have Xiao A Miao update her vocabulary. The harshest word she used to insult herself was "pervert," and the worst one was simply adding "big" before "pervert." But unfortunately, he was no longer the boy he used to be; now, his level of shamelessness was off the charts.

Indeed, life is a process of resistance followed by acceptance.

Seeing that cursing him as a pervert was completely useless and only earned him a disdainful sneer, Bai Xiaoqi felt suffocated.

My dog ​​has changed. He wasn't like this before. He used to have some self-respect, but now he has no shame at all.

When Chen Shuo returned after pouring the water, she grabbed a pillow in embarrassment and anger and threw it at him.

Chen Shuo reacted quickly, catching the flying pillow, walking over and pressing her onto the bed. He then leaned over and pinned her down, Bai Xiaoqi beneath him.

However, in just a moment, the wildcat turned back into the gentle and obedient kitten, reaching out to hug his neck and responding to his kiss.

A dozen minutes later, Bai Xiaoqi's face was flushed from being bullied, her moist eyes seemed to hold a pool of spring water, and she lay on the bed panting with her clothes in disarray. Chen Shuo pulled the blanket over them, covering the exposed white skin, and then hugged her tightly with satisfaction.

"Okay, let's go to sleep."

"..."

Bai Xiaoqi remained silent, snuggling closer to him. One must look forward. Although she was still being bullied by this guy, the future was uncertain. Her life had just begun, and she would have a chance to get revenge later.

Chapter 227 I Want It to Slow Down

A spring rain brings warmth, an autumn rain brings chill.

After a spring rain that lasted for several days, the weather began to warm up noticeably, and springtime officially began.

Unfortunately, spring is fleeting and summer is fast approaching; it'll probably be summer again in less than two months.

Leaning on the balcony and looking outside, Chen Shuo felt a strange sense of emotion. The years had passed so quickly; it felt like nothing had really happened yet, and he was already twenty-four.

He is 24 years old by the traditional Chinese age reckoning, 25 by the traditional Chinese age reckoning, 26 by the traditional Chinese age reckoning, and 30 by the traditional Chinese age reckoning.

Holy crap, I'm thirty.

That's terrifying, I don't even dare to calculate it.

Bai Xiaoqi also found it terrifying. She had secretly weighed herself on the scale and found she weighed a whopping 94 pounds.

Rounding up, it's 95 jin. There's no difference between 5 and 6, and not much difference between 6 and 7, and between 7 and 8... it's almost 100 jin.

I started learning yoga last year and practiced diligently every day. I finally managed to maintain my weight at 90 pounds, but I didn't expect to gain it all back.

She unfolded the yoga mat and placed it in the center of the living room. She stepped on it barefoot, then spread her legs and slowly pressed down.

There is no love without a reason, nor is there hatred without a reason, and weight certainly doesn't increase without a reason.

She suspects that she gained four pounds because she ate too well during the Chinese New Year and then slacked off on yoga practice—she only practices when she remembers to, and even then, she just pulls out the mat, sits cross-legged on it, and goes to sleep.

"One, two, three, four..."

While stretching her legs and doing the splits on the yoga mat, Bai Xiaoqi was chanting rhythmic slogans.

Hearing the noise in the living room, Chen Shuo turned around from the balcony and saw her doing yoga in her pajamas.

Although he often saw her practicing, Chen Shuo didn't know much about yoga postures because after buying the yoga mat, Xiao A Miao basically slept sitting cross-legged on it.

She even called it the Lotus Pose, saying it wasn't about sleeping, but about meditating and cultivating one's body to maintain a good figure.

So let alone those fancy and difficult poses, you rarely see her doing even a simple split now. Her legs are spread apart and she presses them effortlessly on the yoga mat, looking relaxed and carefree.

The pajama pants were subjected to pressure that the material shouldn't have had, being stretched taut and feeling like they were about to burst at any moment.

"Are you planning to get yourself a pair of open-crotch pants?"

"..." Bai Xiaoqi looked down upon hearing this and realized it was indeed a bit dangerous. She silently got up and went to the bedroom to change into a pair of leggings. She came back and continued practicing. Wearing open-crotch pants wasn't the goal; her goal was to get her weight down to 90 pounds and then amaze Chen Shuo.

Chen Shuo was not yet amazed by her weight, but was first amazed by Xiao A Miao's posture. She was doing the splits just now, but her current posture looked bizarre no matter how you looked at it.

Kneel on the yoga mat with your hands on the ground and then raise one leg high.

Chen Shuo leaned closer with interest. "What do you call this trick, 'Little Dog Peeing'?"

"This is called the frog stretch, what's with all the 'puppy pee' stuff..."

Bai Xiaoqi maintained the pose of a puppy urinating. Although she also thought it looked like a puppy urinating when she first saw Anya do this pose, it didn't stop her from glaring at the guy.

Chen Shuo took out his phone from his pocket and took a few pictures of Kaka, then handed the phone to her, trying to make the girl face reality.

"Don't believe me? Look for yourself, doesn't it look like a puppy peeing?"

"Believe it or not, I'll bite you." Bai Xiaoqi threatened him, showing off her little white teeth. She had worked so hard to do yoga, and this guy kept calling her a puppy. How annoying.

The Gene Era

Chen Shuo stopped talking and just laughed. The more he watched the movements, the more interesting they seemed, and he felt like he had seen them somewhere before.

After a moment's thought, I remembered—oh dear, isn't that...?

Are you referring to the kind of action often seen in movies with two or more people, a monotonous setting, little plot, that you fast-forward through while watching, and that leaves you feeling empty afterward?

Thinking to himself, he subtly tapped on his phone and began searching for yoga poses that included puppies.

Hey, there really is one.

It seems that she didn't learn this set of moves from a young movie.

But I can try it later; Yoga is really a great thing.

Are you thinking about lewd things again?

Bai Xiaoqi was about to switch legs when she looked up and saw Chen Shuo's expression: thoughtful yet expectant, with a hint of excitement mixed in.

She suspected that this guy was thinking about those lewd things again.

Just as a dog can't produce ivory, nothing good will come out of his head.

"What?" Chen Shuo came to his senses.

"I was saying, are you thinking...?" As she was speaking, Bai Xiaoqi looked at her own posture and suddenly remembered when she learned it from Anya before, Anya had said that this posture could be used to do *that* with your boyfriend.

Upon realizing this, she instantly felt that Chen Shuo might be thinking the same thing, no, he definitely was thinking the same thing, as she could tell from his expression just now.

Bai Xiaoqi's face flushed slightly, but she tried her best to remain serious. "Are you thinking that you'll make me like this in the future, and then you, you'll bully me...?"

How did you know...?

Good heavens, Chen Shuo was shocked. He felt like this girl could read his mind. But thankfully, he reacted quickly and changed his words in time, while also suppressing his shocked expression. "What I meant was, how do you know about this kind of thing? I'm heartbroken. How did you become like this? You've gone astray."

"..."

"..."

It's confirmed. This guy really was thinking about that, making me stay in that puppy-peeing position while he reads a book and then bullying me badly.

What's even worse is that this guy won't admit it, and not only that, he's trying to shift the blame onto himself.

No, I have to find a way to bite him.

Bai Xiaoqi got up from the yoga mat, her face flushed, and walked towards him, ready to bite him hard.

"What are you going to do?" Seeing her still fierce yet innocent look, Chen Shuo couldn't help but back away.

“I’ve seen through what you’re thinking. You’re thinking about those bad things, so I’m going to bite you and let you know I’m not someone to be trifled with.”

"These are all baseless guesses of yours. I was just thinking about what to eat for dinner. How could you wrong an innocent person?"

Do you think I'd believe your nonsense?

Believe it or not.

Chen Shuo kept backing away, glancing at her white leggings, and reminded her, "I advise you to go back and put on your slippers. The floor is dirty, and your socks are white and newly changed. You'll have to wash them if they get dirty later."

"Then come here and let me take a bite."

"Why should I? This is a frame-up, and I didn't even think about those things you're talking about."

Chen Shuo refused to admit it and was chased by Bai Xiaoqi in the living room. Unfortunately, the space was too small and he couldn't move freely. He was soon cornered and Bai Xiaoqi pounced on him when she saw the opportunity.

He was careless and didn't dodge, and subconsciously reached out to catch her soft and light body steadily.

Two legs encased in white pantyhose quickly wrapped around his waist, while two hands hooked around his neck. Just as Bai Xiaoqi was about to bite him, Chen Shuo suddenly made a stop gesture. "Stop, let me say something first."

What are you trying to say?

"Bite the left cheek, not the right. You just bit the right cheek this morning, I want it to recover."

“…”

Chapter 228 I Feel Right

"Everyone here sings all the time, why doesn't Fahai sing?"

"Because Fahai doesn't understand love."

Chen Shuo casually replied that he wasn't interested in why Fahai didn't sing, nor was he particularly interested in such an old TV series.

He only vaguely remembered that Wu Yulan seemed to particularly love watching this when she was very young.

No, it's not just that it seems like it, it's that I love watching it.

As the memories in his mind gradually became clearer, Chen Shuo remembered that back then, he used to hog the TV every day just to watch Wu Yulan.

He wanted to watch Journey to the West and Ultraman, but he couldn't beat her to it. Each time, he could only shrink to the side and wait for the two episodes to end, while watching his own mother sing along with the people on TV.

Chen Shuo had never quite understood why people would suddenly switch to singing when they were just acting in TV dramas.

As he grew older, he began to suspect that this art form was preserving national essence while incidentally aligning with international trends.

The neighboring Indian country also likes this kind of thing. Oh, and the people there also like to do performance art. There was even a monitor lizard incident before. This kind of fantasy is still too advanced for humans at present.

Chen Shuo was pondering all sorts of random things, while Bai Xiaoqi sat beside him, hugging a cushion, watching The Legend of the White Snake.

She's watched every TV series available now, but her criteria for choosing a show isn't the production quality, plot, or acting; it's whether she can get into it.
