I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

"For example, selling bracelets, necklaces, small gifts, etc. Nowadays, no matter what holiday it is, men have to buy gifts for their girlfriends. Uh... that doesn't seem to be accurate."

That's not entirely accurate.

Chen Shuo realized that although he had bought her many things, they were mostly clothes, shoes, hats, daily necessities, or books. As for proper gifts, he seemed to have never bought her any.

So, am I not being a very good boyfriend?

Bai Xiaoqi had no idea what he was thinking; she was currently staring at his mischievous hand.

She is now certain that this person is deliberately pretending not to know.

Because this thing wasn't just left there obediently.

At this moment, Chen Shuo couldn't control his hand again, causing her to let out a slightly trembling nasal sound.

Bai Xiaoqi subconsciously bit her lip to restrain herself, then glared at him with a face full of embarrassment and annoyance, "Have you touched enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough."

Seeing her pouty little face, Chen Shuo quickly moved his hand away, then thought for a moment and put his hand back. "Is it okay for me to leave it like this?"

"No."

Bai Xiaoqi slapped his paw away, then glared at him again with a flushed face before straightening the wrinkles in her pajamas.

Looking down, I really couldn't understand what was there to touch.

After a moment's hesitation, she also extended her hand.

Seeing this, Chen Shuo hesitated for a moment, then made a very constructive suggestion, "How about you touch mine, and I'll touch yours, and we take turns touching each other?"

"I do not!"

"why?"

"Because you don't have it."

"Well, strictly speaking, I do have some."

Chen Shuo stroked his pectoral muscles and could feel that they were indeed there, but they were called pectoral muscles.

He glanced at it again, but didn't put his hand down. Since he couldn't touch it, he could only touch his own for some consolation.

Remembering their earlier conversation, he asked, "Where were we?"

"Speaking of buying gifts for girlfriends."

Bai Xiaoqi reminded him that she always had a good memory. As she spoke, she moved closer to Chen Shuo and pulled his hand, which was touching himself, over so that he could put his arm around her shoulder.

“Yes, I’m buying a gift for my girlfriend.” Chen Shuo gently patted her shoulder and said, “I don’t think I’ve ever bought you a gift before.”

"Haven't you bought a lot already?"

Bai Xiaoqi retorted, "What do you mean you never bought anything from him? Everything I own was bought by him."

“That’s different. Gifts are surprises, things that add a sense of ritual to a relationship. Even if you don’t care about these things, it doesn’t mean you can do without them. After all, other girls receive all sorts of gifts when they’re in a relationship. I can’t expect you to be treated differently, or it would make me seem like an incompetent boyfriend.”

As he spoke, Chen Shuo's hand gradually wandered off course. "In the future, I will definitely give you a gift every time there is a memorable holiday."

Hearing these words, Bai Xiaoqi felt something brewing in her heart. Just as it was brewing, she realized something was wrong. She looked down and saw his hand sneaking over to cause trouble again.

If it weren't for this hand, she felt she would have been very moved.

Of course, I'm still quite touched, but I'm mostly shy.

"Um..."

"Don't touch me like that."

"I won't touch it, I'll just leave it there."

Chapter Seventy-Nine: I Need to Exercise

After stroking the little bear for a while, Chen Shuo took his hand away and put his arm around her shoulder. It wasn't that he had touched her enough; there's never enough of this kind of thing.

The main thing is that Bai Xiaoqi's cute nasal sounds from time to time clearly reveal her shyness.

Her shy demeanor made him restless and uneasy.

Chen Shuo felt he was losing control and really wanted to devour her, so he had to stop in time, otherwise he would get beaten up, which wouldn't be good for anyone.

Besides, even if he wouldn't get beaten up, Chen Shuo didn't want it to be so quick.

She's so adorable, we have to take it slow and not rush things.

Chen Shuo kissed her blushing cheek, his arms unconsciously tightening around her, and asked softly, "What do you think about us opening a gift shop?"

"I....."

Bai Xiaoqi was slightly out of breath, seemingly still recovering from her earlier embarrassment. After a moment, she whispered, "I'll listen to you."

"Don't you have your own opinion?"

"No."

“You can have it. Everyone has their own desires and things they want to do. As long as your ideas aren’t too far-fetched, I won’t stop you. I’ll just give you appropriate advice.”

Although I secretly enjoy being relied on by her and the feeling that she listens to me in everything.

But Chen Shuo felt that she should still have her own opinions and not just be a yes-man.

"You've been in human society for a long time, and after so much time getting used to it, you must have your own ideas and things you want to do."

"If I tell you to open an online store, you open an online store; if I tell you to sell gifts, you sell gifts. You're just agreeing to these things, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's what you really want to do. If there's something you want to do, you can tell me, and we can discuss it together."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoqi shook her head without hesitation, "I don't know as much as you do, and what I come up with is definitely not as good as what you come up with, so I might as well just listen to you."

"You're good at taking things easy and don't want to worry about anything."

Chen Shuo felt that what she said made a lot of sense, and said, "If you listen to me, aren't you afraid that I'll lead you astray one day?"

"Don't be afraid, you won't hurt me. I know you're doing this for my own good."

"Alright, but when I want to harm you in the future, remember to be smart and see through my tricks in time. Don't let me fool you into having a child without you even realizing it, understand?"

"whispering sound.."

Bai Xiaoqi curled her lips in disdain. It wasn't that easy to fool her. She wasn't that stupid. "That depends on whether I'm willing to be fooled by you."

"Then are you willing?" Chen Shuo asked in return.

"I'm not willing yet." Bai Xiaoqi shook her head. She had come to terms with it last night. Anyway, she would definitely have a child in the future. The only difference was when.

But the later the better, let's put it off for now.

Let him deceive me when I'm ready to be deceived again.

"Ok?"

Chen Shuo was stunned, never expecting such an answer. No, it should be said that her answer was wrong from the beginning.

Even though I was just teasing her, knowing her personality, she would definitely retort in a very loud voice—"I won't!"—instead of saying something like, "That depends on whether I want to be fooled by you."

Staring at him, Bai Xiaoqi met his gaze directly and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Something's wrong with you."

“I feel perfectly right.”

Chen Shuo was silent for a moment, then said, "I think your current thinking is very dangerous."

Where is it dangerous?

"You see, if this had happened before, you would have definitely argued back loudly when I said I was going to lie to you about having a baby, but now..."

Chen Shuo hesitated, unsure how to describe it, and simply said, "I feel like if you continue like this, it might not be me lying to you about having a child, but you forcing me to have a baby with you..."

"I won't!"

Before the guy could finish speaking, Bai Xiaoqi retorted in a very loud voice.

"call......"

Chen Shuo felt instantly relieved; yes, that was the right reaction.

He thought for a moment, then added, "That's good. I'm telling you, you're a girl, so you have to be reserved. You absolutely cannot force me, otherwise if you get pregnant in this situation, that would be a crime, you know?"

Before Chen Shuo could finish speaking, Bai Xiaoqi's head had already lowered slightly and was aimed at his chest, her cat-like headbutt clearly ready to strike. But upon hearing the last sentence, she couldn't help but pause, looking up to ask, "What crime did you commit?"

"Crime of illegally obtained proceeds".

The charge seemed plausible enough, and to be honest, she believed it.

Thinking of something, she couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say last time that I could force you? And that you couldn't go against a woman's will?"

"Why do I get the feeling that you really want to force me?"

Chen Shuo frowned, but then his expression softened slightly. "Then you can do it. Please be gentle, it's my first time."

"Go to hell!" Bai Xiaoqi couldn't take it anymore and smacked him in the chest with her head.

"cough...."

Several months later, I was hit on the head again, just like before. First, my vision went black, then I felt suffocated in my chest, followed by pain. When I came to my senses, I found myself lying on the sofa.

Chen Shuo coughed loudly a few times to relieve his chest tightness. After a while, he sat up, patted his chest, and asked, "Cough, why did you suddenly start a fight?"

"I didn't use my hands, I used my brain."

As she spoke, Bai Xiaoqi leaned forward. Chen Shuo thought she wanted to do it to him again, so he instinctively closed his eyes in fright. But after a moment, he felt a small hand gently stroking his chest.

When I opened my eyes, I saw her face full of guilt and a little heartache, as she was rubbing the spot where I had been hit.

Seeing this, Chen Shuo felt a bit conflicted. Was this a case of giving a stick and then a sweet treat?

Meeting his complicated gaze, Bai Xiaoqi felt a little guilty and asked cautiously, "Does it hurt?"

"It's not true that it didn't hurt; you almost killed me just now."

Chen Shuo couldn't bear to blame her, after all, he was the one who teased her first, and his little cat was naturally mischievous, so it was normal for her to lose control of her strength when she was embarrassed and annoyed.

Chen Shuo reached out and pulled her back into his arms, saying, "Don't bump your head against me again, understand? Otherwise you'll be a little widow before we're even married."

Bai Xiaoqi calmed down and obediently let him hold her in his arms. Hearing this, her heart tightened and she looked up to ask, "Why is your health so poor?"

She didn't even use much effort, so how did she end up becoming a young widow?
