I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

I took a midday bath, soaking in the warm water, which soothed my entire body and relieved my fatigue.

Having regained some strength, Bai Xiaoqi's first action was to hit him. Chen Shuo sat behind her, holding her slender waist. She slapped the arms that were wrapped around her with her small hands, splashing water everywhere. "You lied to me! You lied to me..."

"Hiss, how can this be considered a scam? It was a complete accident. Who told you to..."

The soft, white hands slapped his arm, causing it to hurt a little. Chen Shuo couldn't help but grimace, but he held on and didn't let go. He was about to push the blame away when Bai Xiaoqi grabbed his arm and bit it. Immediately afterward, Chen Shuo cried out in pain.

"Stop biting me, stop biting me! If you bite me to death, you'll become a young widow."

"Pah!" Bai Xiaoqi released his arm and spat, then reached out to gently rub the small teeth marks on Chen Shuo's arm, saying insincerely, "I wish you would bite me to death, then I wouldn't have to suffer from your bullying anymore."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Chen Shuo nodded repeatedly, then gave a barely perceptible purse of his lips.

Tch, hypocritical.

"Your heartfelt promises, though spoken in jest, have all drifted away with the west wind, leaving only the foolish dreams of my beloved... oh..."

He had only sung two lines of the song when Bai Xiaoqi, embarrassed and annoyed, reached out and covered his mouth.

"...I can't even sing?" Chen Shuo asked, prying her hands open.

"No."

"So domineering?" Chen Shuo turned his head to look at her, and kissed her on the cheek. He stopped singing and started to carefully bathe her, taking the opportunity to take advantage of her.

Although I felt a little tempted to tease her, I knew young people should exercise restraint and not be extravagant.

After showering, Chen Shuo carried her out of the bathroom in a standard princess carry. The large bed in the bedroom hadn't been made yet, and the room was still filled with an atmosphere that stirred the heart.

Seeing this scene, Bai Xiaoqi's already blushing face turned even redder. Although her body felt weak, she still struggled to get down from Chen Shuo's arms.

She ran barefoot to the closet to find her underwear, then put on her nightgown. With clothes on, she felt more confident. She glanced back at Chen Shuo and spat, "You're shameless for not wearing any clothes."

"Didn't you just put your clothes on?"

Chen Shuo was shocked. Just a moment ago we were taking a shower together naked, and now you've put on some clothes and turned around to scold me for being shameless. How could you have the nerve to do that?

"snort...."

Bai Xiaoqi snorted and ignored him, her face flushed as she began to tidy up the bed. She took off the sheets and threw them on the floor, washed the thin blanket, and washed the mattress as well.

Chen Shuo found a pair of shorts in the closet and put them on, then casually threw on a short-sleeved shirt and capri pants before going over to help tidy up.

Perhaps it was the scene that stirred up memories, but Bai Xiaoqi's blush never faded. Her fair complexion was tinged with pink, making her exceptionally charming. Although she was very shy, she tried her best to remain calm and threw all the sheets and blankets that needed changing onto the floor.

"It's all your fault, I have to wash so many things today."

"You dare say I did all this?" Chen Shuo picked up the bed sheet and pointed to the marks on it.

"It's you."

Bai Xiaoqi unreasonably threw the pot at him, snatched the bed sheet from his hand and hugged it to her chest, then picked up the quilt and blankets from the floor, carried them out of the bedroom, and threw them into the washing machine on the balcony to wash.

Chen Shuo rummaged through the large storage cabinet in the dressing room and found a winter quilt. He would use it as a mattress for now, but it was too soft and uncomfortable to sleep on, so he still needed to put on a mattress.

New sheets were put on the bed, and thankfully, three summer quilts were bought, so we won't be without blankets at night.

With everything done, Chen Shuo looked at the neatly made bed and suddenly sighed deeply. It was already mid-July, and judging by the days, Xiao A Miao's period would be arriving in the next couple of days, either tonight or tomorrow.

My aunt was an obstacle before my marriage.

He was very melancholy.

Chapter 273 Eating

On the balcony, the washing machine was making a loud rumbling noise. Bai Xiaoqi was squatting down, looking at Walnut and showing off her cat food. Chen Shuo was rambling on beside her, talking about some very serious popular science knowledge, such as not being shy when your period comes, and the safe period and the dangerous period.

She might not know this knowledge, but Chen Shuo felt that she probably knew it all. She had been in human society for two years, and she still spent her free time searching for all sorts of random questions online. She also often hung out with that filthy Anya. Now she had a very broad knowledge base.

"Got it? The few days before your period are considered a safe period, which is why we didn't do *that* last night. Now your period is coming, and although I don't know if it'll be today or tomorrow, just to be on the safe side, don't try to rub against me and act all cute tonight, or..."

"I won't."

Bai Xiaoqi stood up and interrupted him. This guy was dreaming. How could she possibly ask him to bully her? She had already forgotten about last night... she hadn't taken the initiative at all.

"If you don't want to, then don't. Let your husband give you a kiss." Chen Shuo shamelessly leaned over and gave her a quick kiss. As soon as he finished, he swept her up in a princess carry and held her in his arms around the waist.

"Come on, let me carry you to change your clothes, and then we'll go out to eat."

"Have a meal?"

"What else? Aren't you hungry?"

Yes, a little.

Bai Xiaoqi's face was a little red, and her voice was soft. She thought she was going to be bullied again when he suddenly picked her up, but it turned out they were just going out to eat.

.........

The weather today is good.

The two found a restaurant near the entrance of the residential area and ate something quick. Instead of going back, they went to the supermarket to buy groceries.

Generally, we don't buy too much groceries at home, at most enough for two days. We buy more when we run out, so they stay fresh. That's why we usually have to buy groceries every other day.

After we moved here, there's a large supermarket here, bigger than the one in the old neighborhood, and it's a brand chain.

The wet market on the basement floor even sells seafood, which wasn't available in the supermarket we visited before.

However, the two of them basically don't eat seafood. Seafood is troublesome to clean or shell, and especially since after all that work, there's only a little bit of meat, it feels like a waste of money.

After buying vegetables and meat, they unknowingly wandered into the seafood section. Smelling the strong fishy smell, the two bought a large crucian carp weighing 3.2 jin (1.6 kg) to make soup for dinner. They asked the vendor to help them scale and gut the fish and clean it thoroughly. Even though the fish was in such a state, it still kept jumping around in the plastic bag.

Pushing the shopping cart toward the checkout, Bai Xiaoqi was still muttering to Chen Shuo in a low voice, "We overpaid for this fish. We can go fishing instead; we didn't need to buy it at all."

She paused, then pouted and said, "You haven't gone fishing with me in ages. Now it's Ya Ya who goes with me."

Her expression and tone carried a hint of resentment, and Chen Shuo felt inexplicably guilty, somewhat unable to meet her gaze.

Fishing involves sitting on the shore for most of the day. In the sweltering heat of July, not only is it hot, but what's even more infuriating is that you can't catch anything.

Chen Shuo was naturally happy to have someone accompany her. Every time the two girls went fishing, he would lie at home enjoying the air conditioning and wait for Xiao A Miao to return with a full catch.

"Let's go fishing together tomorrow," he promised.

"Don't lie."

"I'm not lying."

"Then let's get up early tomorrow and go fishing."

Although she had just been scammed that morning, Bai Xiaoqi still chose to believe him.

"it is good."

After buying groceries, the two of them leisurely returned home. The weather was already in the dog days of summer, hot and humid. They had already worked up a sweat just from going out for a short walk. It was only after returning home and turning on the air conditioning that they felt much more comfortable.

Chen Shuo went to the balcony, spun the washed bedding out of the washing machine, and took it to the rooftop to air dry.

Bai Xiaoqi went to the kitchen to organize the things she had bought. She put the vegetables in the upper freezer section, and cut the meat in half; one half was placed on top of the refrigerator for dinner, and the other half...

The fish was placed in a basin of water to soak first.

After everything was put away, Chen Shuo came down from the rooftop. Bai Xiaoqi left a message saying, "I'm going to take a shower," and then turned and walked towards the bedroom.

Upon hearing this, Chen Shuo quickly took off his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body, and rushed over, asking, "Shall we shower together?"

Bai Xiaoqi was smart enough not to go with him. She moved incredibly fast, running into the master bedroom's bathroom and locking the door behind her.

Chen Shuo stood outside the door, glanced at it, pursed his lips, draped his shirt over his shoulder, turned around and went out to the living room. Tch, it's locked from the inside. It's not like there's only one bathroom in the house.

He took a quick shower, less than ten minutes later, and came out, still wet from his hair. He opened the bedroom door and saw that the sound of running water was still coming from the bathroom.

After closing the door, Chen Shuo took a can of iced cola from the refrigerator, pulled the tab, and took a big gulp, feeling the cool carbonation bubbles hit his mouth. Then he went to the study, found a book, and leaned back on the sofa to read.

The Genius on the Left, the Madman on the Right

This book is quite famous. It contains one story after another about mental patients, written in the form of interviews. The sensationalism is probably the most fitting label for this book.

He read it once when he was in junior high school and was amazed at the time. His worldview was almost overturned. But now, when he read it again, he can clearly see that many of the plots are the author's imagination or were written to cater to the reader market.

Simply put, this is a novel; it may have some basis in reality, but only to a limited extent.

However, this does not detract from the book's readability, and the interview writing style is quite deceptive, making readers believe that these are genuine.

Others might not know, but once Little A-Miao reads it, she'll definitely be foolish enough to believe it's true.

“I’ve read this book. Let me tell you, many mental patients may seem to have mental problems, but they could actually be aliens.”

Chen Shuo had only read a few pages when her silly voice rang out, still in that uniquely mysterious tone.

After a two-second pause, Chen Shuo looked up from his book and exclaimed in an exaggerated tone, "Really?!"

"Yes."

Bai Xiaoqi tilted her head, her long, wet hair cascading down her back. She gently rubbed herself with a towel in her hands, her moist face flushed with the rosy glow of someone who had just come out of the bath. She looked so cute that you just wanted to take a bite.

She dried her hair until it was no longer dripping wet, but didn't bother to use a hairdryer. Since she didn't need to sleep anyway, she walked over, kicked off her slippers, climbed onto the sofa, and lay down in Chen Shuo's arms, ready to tell him about her thoughts on the book.

Finding the most comfortable position in his arms, Bai Xiaoqi rested her head on Chen Shuo's chest and glanced at the book. "I've seen this before. Let me tell you, this person..."

Then she began to ramble on about what happened to this mentally ill patient, even adding her own opinions.

Chen Shuo listened attentively at first, but then his long, wet, snow-white hair fell loosely over his chest, and the fragrance of shampoo and shower gel filled his nostrils, mixed with her unique body scent. He was holding a soft, bouncy little body in his arms, whose skin was still slightly cool after her bath.

These things really distract people, and then the dog's paws started to sneak into her nightgown.

"Um..."

Bai Xiaoqi suddenly let out a soft, sweet moan. After pausing for two seconds, she started chattering again, but her voice grew softer and softer until she finally stopped talking altogether and began to nuzzle Chen Shuo's chest with her head, acting coquettishly.

Perhaps because summer clothes are too loose, the clothes were rubbed off and the silk short-sleeved nightgown fell from the sofa to the floor.

Chapter 274 Above

Summer is really hot. Even if you're sitting at home with the air conditioning on, you still have to take a shower many times. I've already taken three showers before it even gets dark.

I washed it once at noon, a second time after buying groceries, and then again in the afternoon.

Because it's hottest in the afternoon, the afternoon shower takes the longest. As we all know, taking a long shower can easily lead to oxygen deficiency. After showering, Bai Xiaoqi's legs felt weak due to lack of oxygen, and her beautiful face was flushed.

Chen Shuo had no choice but to carry her out. He was still young and exercised every day. Although he didn't have exaggerated muscle mass, his whole body was full of muscle lines. He didn't look very strong, but he was actually as strong as an ox, a draft ox, so there was no need to worry about oxygen deficiency for the time being.
