I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

"It's that Qi."

"Oh, Bai Xiaoqi."

Chen Shuo took out his notebook with a sense of ceremony and wrote down the three characters "Bai Xiaoqi" along with the unknown age.

"Did you come up with this name yourself?"

"Yes, I chose it myself. After transforming into human form, you have to think of a human name."

"What was your name when you were a cat?"

"Call me Meow."

Chen Shuo added the name "A Miao" next to Bai Xiaoqi's name, thinking that this was probably her nickname, which was quite fitting.

"Where did it come from?"

"From the mountains."

Which mountain? What's its name?

Bai Xiaoqi thought for a moment and replied, "Cat Cat Mountain."

"........"

Chen Shuo had just written the word "cat" when he suddenly realized, "What the hell is this name?"

But upon closer reflection, he realized it was indeed possible. Mountain names were indeed strange and unusual, with all sorts of bizarre names. He remembered there was even a mountain called "Turtle Shell Mountain."

"Who named this mountain?" he asked, quite curious.

"I just got up."

"I'm fucking..."

Chapter Seven: Because I'm a Good Person

Chen Shuo put down his notebook and suddenly lost interest in registering. He glanced at the cat girl who called herself Bai Xiaoqi, who was currently fiddling with a hairdryer, occasionally clicking the switch.

Do you know how to use this?

"I saw a human girl use it."

"You're peeking at other people's homes from outside the window, aren't you?"

"How did you know?" Bai Xiaoqi turned her head, her eyes full of surprise.

"If you were in front of her, you would know that she was using a hair dryer while it was plugged in."

Chen Shuo decided to retract his assessment that she was very meticulous in her thinking; this cat girl was indeed a bit silly.

He then pointed to the socket next to the TV, "The power outlet is behind the TV, just those few holes, see them?"

"Uh-huh."

Bai Xiaoqi nodded, walked over barefoot, held the plug a few times, and then plugged it in. As soon as it was plugged in, the hair dryer started whirring. She was clearly caught off guard and ended up in a flurry of activity.

After adjusting for a long time, I finally managed to direct the airflow towards my hair, and then my long, snow-white hair flew wildly.

Chen Shuo frowned and watched for a while, but he couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he simply walked over, grabbed the hair dryer, and turned it off.

"You can't blow it like that. Stand still, and I'll help you blow it."

As he spoke, he directly inserted his hand into Bai Xiaoqi's hair, preparing to pull out a strand and start blowing on it, when suddenly there was a meow, and then he saw the cat girl's face and neck quickly turn red, and her whole body trembled.

Chen Shuo was stunned.

This is a return to one's ancestral nature, no, this is a revelation of one's true form?

What's wrong with you?

"I...I don't know either." Bai Xiaoqi was slightly out of breath, her eyes a little dazed. She had felt a strange sensation when her head was touched, and she subconsciously meowed.

Seeing her reaction, Chen Shuo was silent for a moment, then asked, "You... do you feel very comfortable, and also very excited?"

"...Um."

After a moment, a soft groan rang out, tinged with a hint of shame.

Hearing that slightly embarrassed soft moan, and seeing the blush on her fair cheeks, Chen Shuo felt... that she was actually quite cute.

My heart softened without me even realizing it.

"Actually, you don't need to feel embarrassed or anything. I think in your case, well... it's probably because you just turned into human form and haven't fully transitioned yet, so you still have a lot of cat-like habits."

Cats and dogs have some similarities, such as liking to be petted on the head, and feeling a particularly pleasant and stimulating sensation when petted, which is very comfortable.

Therefore, Chen Shuo felt that his action of putting his hand in her hair was probably equivalent to petting a cat.

"Cats, is it their nature to feel comfortable being petted on the head?"

"You're a cat, why are you asking me this question?"

Chen Shuo sensed that the relationship between the two was not quite right, and guessed at a certain possibility, so he asked, "Don't tell me you haven't been patted on the head, oops, I mean, not touched on the head?"

"No."

.......

In the living room, Chen Shuo was blow-drying the hair of the cat-eared girl he had just met, his fingers occasionally touching her head. The whooshing sound of the wind masked the occasional soft moans that Bai Xiaoqi let out from her nose.

The first time I was patted on the head, I felt out of control, blushing and trembling, but after getting used to it, it was actually... well, it felt pretty good.

"So, you used to live in the mountains alone, no, with just a cat?"

"Ah."

"What about your cat parents and siblings?"

As he spoke, Chen Shuo's hand accidentally touched Bai Xiaoqi's cat ears on her head, causing her to tremble slightly and stammer, "I, I don't know. After I gained sentience, I was the only cat in the mountains."

"So your name doesn't mean you're the seventh child?"

Chen Shuo had initially thought that the girl's name, Bai Xiaoqi, meant she was the seventh child, but now he realized that wasn't the case.

She's an orphan—no, a lonely cat—so ranking is meaningless.

Why is Bai Xiaoqi ranked seventh?

"Seven, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven."

Bai Xiaoqi thought for a moment and retorted, "My name doesn't seem to have the character 'seven' in it."

"Which seven is it?"

"It's just..." She paused, unsure how to describe her own Qi.

If she saw it, she felt she would be able to recognize it, but if she tried to describe or write it down, she was completely lost.

Seeing that she couldn't give a coherent answer for a long time, Chen Shuo couldn't help but ask a soul-searching question, "Can you read?"

"I don't know him very well."

"Ok."

Chen Shuo remained silent, realizing he had actually been arguing with a semi-literate person about which "seven" it was.

After a moment of silence, he said, "No matter which 'seven' it is, you'll still be pronounced 'Bai Xiaoqi,' so why don't you change your name to Bai Xiaoqi, which is the 'qi' with the water radical and the wood radical? That way, when people see your name, they won't think you're the seventh child in your family, understand?"

Bai Xiaoqi lowered her eyes and pondered for a while, then suddenly looked up and said, "My name seems to be the Qi you mentioned."

"..."

Chen Shuo was somewhat surprised that, through a series of unexpected events, he had confirmed her real name.

After a moment of silence, he stood behind the cat girl, silently drying her hair. His technique seemed a little clumsy, and her fair and delicate neck was revealed as her snow-white hair fluttered in the wind.

The hot air from the hairdryer blew on her hair, and she could smell a fresh shampoo scent mixed with a slightly sweet aroma, which must have been her own natural fragrance.

Chen Shuo suddenly understood why so many people are addicted to cats.

Because it smells really good.

As his hair gradually dried, Chen Shuo turned off the hairdryer, only to hear a gurgling sound.

Hearing the protest from his stomach, he was about to speak when his gaze inadvertently swept over Bai Xiaoqi's collar. The collar of her pajamas was very loose, and from his angle, it was completely visible.

A snow-white valley came into view; judging by its size, it was probably a Class B scenic area.

Although it wasn't large, it was surprisingly well-developed, which was quite unexpected, as it wasn't flat-chested.

"I'm hungry." Bai Xiaoqi hesitated for a moment before saying it, her voice very weak, clearly a little embarrassed.

But she's only had two sips of yogurt and some dried fruit all day yesterday. She's really hungry, and she feels like she might starve to death if she doesn't eat soon.

"Huh? Oh, you're hungry, aren't you?"

Chen Shuo snapped out of his daze, put down the hairdryer, glanced around unconsciously, and then said, "Then I'll go out and buy some food. I'm a little hungry too."

"Um, there might be some milk in the refrigerator. Look for it, and if you find any, have some to tide you over."

Last night, Chen Shuo was drunk and didn't take off his clothes before going to bed, which saved him the trouble of changing.

After changing her shoes at the door, she remembered something, went into the bathroom, picked up the dirty clothes, and put them in a trash bag.

He was about to leave with the trash bag in his hand when he noticed the cat girl's bare little feet and said, "I'll go out and buy you a pair of slippers later, and I'll also buy you some daily necessities, like toothpaste, toothbrush, towels and the like."

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoqi was about to nod when she suddenly became puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden?"

She was fierce when they first met, and although she wasn't fierce later, she was still... well, she was at a loss for words to describe it, but she was definitely not like this now.

"because..."

Chen Shuo felt a little guilty. He couldn't very well admit that he had seen her B-grade scenic area and felt like he had taken advantage of her, so he felt a bit ashamed.

"Because I'm a good person, and good people are all kind, which makes sense, right?"

Chapter Eight This Unhealthy

Chen Shuo casually tossed the garbage bag into the trash can in the community and walked towards the community gate while searching for relevant information online on his mobile phone.

Searching for cat-eared girls brought up all sorts of strange and exciting things, which made him look at them for a while longer.

After finishing reading with satisfaction, he remembered his real business and, after thinking for a moment, began searching for the cat demon again.
