I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

I used to think that if she really was a demon, I would arrest her, register her, and then find out her purpose in getting close to Chen Shuo.

And now... though it resembles a human but is not a demon.

But it's none of my business; I work for the Monster Management Bureau, not the Non-Human Research Center.

"Miss Su, I apologize for disturbing your enjoyment."

With one thing on her mind, Nie Xi took off her hat, bowed sincerely, and apologized, promising, "This matter has been resolved, and I promise I will not bother you again."

"Do you think I'll still believe you?" Su Yu looked at him and sneered.

"I think you'll believe it."

"........"

Watching his departing figure, Su Yu clenched her fist, glanced at the card room not far behind her, then touched the coins in her pocket and stepped inside.

Inside the card and mahjong room, a large group of elderly men and women were sitting around mahjong tables, the clattering of tiles filling the air. When they saw Su Yu enter, several of the elderly women waved and greeted her, "Hey, Xiao Yu, you've come at the perfect time! Come sit over here, we're just one short for our game."

Su Yu shook her head, "I'm not playing with you guys. You'll renege on your debts if you lose."

"What are you talking about? When have we ever renege on your debt? It's all owed by your Aunt Liu. She'll come over in a bit, and I'll have her pay you."

"Aunt Liu only owes me three yuan and fifty cents, you owe me a full five yuan, and Aunt Zhang, you owe me four yuan and fifty cents, I remember them all."

"Oh, alright, alright, we'll get it for you in a bit. Come on, sit down, this is the only table left."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu looked around and, seeing that there were indeed no seats available, went over and sat down.

The old lady who had spoken earlier asked again, "Your Uncle Zhao came in earlier and said he saw you standing at the intersection talking to a young man. Is that your boyfriend?"

"No."

"Then who is he?"

"He's an idiot."

........

........

"Once Nie Xi's girlfriend calms down, I'll ask him to ask Su Yu for you. But so many years have passed, it's uncertain whether the sister you mentioned is still around, so be prepared."

On the way back, Chen Shuo spoke.

"Hmm." Bai Xiaoqi nodded, pondered for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Is Su Yu his girlfriend?"

"What else could it be? You still think that's really his maternal grandmother?"

Chen Shuo countered with a question, then, after thinking it over carefully, added, "I also feel that there's something off about those two. They don't seem like a couple; they seem more like enemies. But calling them enemies is too much of a stretch. Anyway, there's definitely more to their relationship than meets the eye."

Although it's impossible to guess the relationship between the two right now, it would be quite welcome if something were to happen between them in the future.

Chen Shuo still couldn't understand why Bai Xiaoqi thought Su Yu was dangerous.

Isn't this girl a cat demon?

Although she acts harmlessly like a kitten every day, and is slightly stronger than ordinary people, she is still a demon no matter what.

"You're a cat demon, yet she can make you sense danger?" he asked.

"I'm not a cat demon, I'm a cat-eared girl."

Bai Xiaoqi corrected her, saying that the path she took to obtain the title was not to become a demon, but simply to shed her beast form and become a true human. Although she went astray and became a cat-eared girl, she could not be considered a demon; she was definitely human.

She had searched for "cat-eared girl" before. It's a type of two-dimensional character that appears in anime or games. It's a girl with cute cat ears. She's a girl, not a female demon, and she's very popular among the two-dimensional community.

She knew Chen Shuo must really like it, otherwise he wouldn't have turned her into a cat-eared girl when she was asking for a title, and he wouldn't have made her maintain that appearance at home.

"Yes, you are a cat-eared girl."

Chen Shuo looked at her again, seeing her long, straight black hair, and added, "But you're not like that now."

"I am an old lady now."

Bai Xiaoqi looked sullen. She regretted it now. She had accidentally blurted out the truth. Now, she was supposed to be his girlfriend, but she could be his grandmother.

"Who said that? Have you ever seen an old lady as young and beautiful as you?"

“You said it.” Bai Xiaoqi puffed out her cheeks.

"I was just saying it casually, I didn't mean to criticize you."

"Hmph..." Bai Xiaoqi snorted and threatened, raising her little fist, "If you dare to dislike me, I'll hit you."

On a late winter afternoon, few people were walking on the street. Faced with her threat, Chen Shuo understood that she was worried, so he couldn't help but pull her into his arms.

"What are you doing?" Bai Xiaoqi struggled slightly, her eyes scanning the pedestrians on the road.

Chen Shuo held her tightly, not letting her break free.

With the soft jade in his arms and its delicate fragrance tantalizing his nose, Chen Shuo couldn't help but take a deep breath before gently saying, "Let me smell if you smell good. The old lady won't smell good."

"Do I smell good?" Bai Xiaoqi asked, her voice tinged with anticipation and a hint of unease.

"Mmm, it smells nice."

Chen Shuo lowered his head and kissed her forehead, whispering, "You know what? Only when I hold you in my arms do I feel like you truly belong to me."

"Am I not?"

"I didn't say you weren't."

Chen Shuo shook his head. "I just wanted to tell you that you don't need to worry that I'll look down on you. On the contrary, I'm worried that you'll look down on me. After all, your existence is special, and it makes me feel unreal."

You transformed from a cat into a human. I don't know if you are human or a demon, but I hope you are human, a real human, not one of those immortal demons.

That way we can experience the passage of time together, and grow old together, otherwise....”

"I've always had white hair."

"Don't interrupt, you're ruining the atmosphere."

Chen Shuo rubbed her head, gathered his emotions, and continued, "What if decades from now, you're still the same as you are now, while I've become a decrepit old man? What if you despise me then?"

"That's why I'm worried, that's why I hope you're human, so we can grow old together, an old man and an old woman, neither of us will mind the other."

"Hmm, that makes sense." Bai Xiaoqi wrinkled her nose, suppressed her emotions, and said seriously, "Then I'll be a person and grow old with you. You can't dislike me then."

"How could that be? My little kitten only ever looks down on others."

Bai Xiaoqi was clearly pleased with his words. She rubbed her head against him and then looked up to ask, "What would you do if I were really an immortal demon?"

What else can we do?

Chen Shuo asked in return, then leaned down and kissed her soft little lips, "I can only stamp you like this, leave a mark, so that I can find you again in my next life."

Is there really an afterlife?

“Yes, of course I am.” Chen Shuo affectionately pinched her little nose. “To me, you are the best proof that you were a cat in your past life and became a human in this life.”

"This is my same lifetime."

Bai Xiaoqi was clearly dissatisfied with his answer. She thought there really was a next life, and she would definitely be a real human then. No, she would rather be reborn as a cat-eared girl. She was sure he would like cat-eared girls in the next life too.

"Then what do you suggest? There's no way to prove this. If there's no next life, and you really can live forever, I'll be the only one who becomes an old man. I'd be so sad. I can't possibly cultivate that 'Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies, I Alone Am Supreme, Eternal and Everlasting Youthful Technique'."

"What skill?" Bai Xiaoqi asked, bewildered.

"The Eight Desolations and Six Directions are only... Never mind, I'll take you home to see that, no, watch that TV series and you'll understand."

I'll explain this in a separate chapter.

Here's what happened: when I woke up just now, I saw a question asked by a reader in the book club, and I wanted to reply, but because I was still half asleep, I accidentally clicked delete.

I apologize first, and then I will give a unified response here.

It seems that my worst fears have come true.

Let me state upfront that this book is about everyday life in a relationship, everyday life in a relationship, everyday life in a relationship!!!

There will be no cultivation, monster-fighting, or leveling up, and there will be no showing off or face-slapping!

The main storyline is just about daily romance, nothing else. It's about why an administration bureau exists.

First of all, according to reality, or rather, normal logic, unregistered individuals need to undergo blood tests, physical examinations, and laboratory tests to obtain an ID card, but can I write it like this?

If that happens, can the female lead's identity be kept secret?

Therefore, a reasonable character must appear to help her resolve these issues.

The second male lead, Nie Chu, is just a tool; he's the male lead's wings and also his childhood friend.

Some people said they encountered monsters and felt insecure. I'm afraid you guys will feel the same way. I've tried my best, everyone.

From chapter 63, when the second male lead appears, to chapter 69, the pace is fast enough. Anyone with eyes can see that I'm eager to dispel your concerns. Otherwise, I could have dragged it out and revealed these things little by little.

There are two powerful demons, so there are no other demons in this city at all. In fact, there are very few in the whole country, maybe only two or three hundred in total.

If the female protagonist can even get a title for herself regarding the existence of demons, can there still be purity in this world?

Let's go back to these two powerful demons. One has a connection with the female lead and saved Xiao Qi, while the other is completely controlled by the second male lead.

What more do you want? What else is there to worry about?

Next, let's talk about the unequal lifespans of the male and female leads. I was worried you might be concerned, so I'll have Su Yu explain it, saying she's neither human nor demon. Why neither human nor demon? Because she's a cat-eared girl!

And the fact that those details were deliberately included in the latest chapter is meant to show that her lifespan is the same as the male protagonist's.

But some people say that the male lead will definitely not outlive her, while the female lead will definitely live for hundreds of years. The main text may not have explained this clearly, so let me say it again: the male and female leads have the same lifespan.

And Su Yu's personality is clear enough, isn't it? You can tell from her conversations with those old ladies that she is a great demon who is quite polite to humans and also very kind.

She only revealed her true colors when facing the second male lead, because she felt she was being watched, even though she hadn't done anything wrong and was just living her life.

However, some people think she is an evil demon who will kill the female lead in the future.

? ? ? ?

What? ? ?

Sorry, I didn't understand. Let me clarify again: in my book, there will be no instances of demons harming humans. The main theme is harmonious coexistence between humans and demons, and there will be no sense of crisis because I will nip everything in the bud.

Even if it happens, we will quickly explain and dispel everyone's concerns.

Also, there are too few characters in this book. The number of characters needs to be expanded. Otherwise, the whole book will just be the male and female protagonists kissing and hugging each other without any shame, and at most they will visit their parents' house once.

Is this interesting? It will lead to aesthetic fatigue and boredom, and I don't want it to be like this.
