I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

"..."

Damn it.

Chen Shuo knew that his body was in a sub-healthy state. He looked healthy but actually had a lot of problems. His shoulders and neck would ache easily, because he was always sitting on the computer typing, sometimes for a whole day.

But now when I hear her say that she is in poor health, even though I know that she is not really in that bad state, I still feel very embarrassed.

"I'll definitely start exercising seriously from tomorrow!"

After holding it in for a long time, Chen Shuo gritted his teeth and made the most serious vow he had ever made in his life.

P.S.: Chapter 78 didn't pass the review due to its explicit content, so I revised it countless times and reposted it. Please use your imagination to fill in the gaps.

Chapter 80 Ugh, it's all over.

Setting up an online store isn't actually that easy. Finding suppliers, negotiating partnerships with wholesalers—by the time the store is finally up and running, it's already the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

I haven't thought of a good name for the online store yet, so I just picked one randomly. I'll change it later when I come up with a better one.

Bai Xiaoqi didn't care about the name of her shop. She was eager for customers to come in so that she could have a successful opening. She was holding her computer and waiting for someone to place an order or make an inquiry.

The store has just opened, so everything is kept simple. She is both the owner and the customer service representative.

Chen Shuo carried the dirty clothes out of the house and threw them into the washing machine. He then turned to look at her and saw her staring intently at the computer screen, looking quite serious. He couldn't help but chuckle.

"You don't need to keep an eye on it all the time; there will be a notification sound if someone wants to buy something."

"Oh..."

Bai Xiaoqi responded and continued watching the screen, her mind preoccupied with her wish for a lucky opening.

Seeing this, Chen Shuo didn't say anything more and started filling the washing machine with water. There were less than two days until the New Year, and he had to wash all the dirty clothes before then.

Actually, there aren't many. The two of them stay at home almost every day and rarely go out. They don't have many clothes to wash, and their down jackets are sent to the dry cleaners.

As for underwear, I just wash it when I take a shower.

So what we really need to wash today are the bed sheets, duvet covers, and blankets.

The washing machine was making a loud rumbling noise. Chen Shuo came out of the bathroom and saw that she was still staring at the computer. He thought for a moment and said, "The day after tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve. No one will be buying anything at this time. And haven't you noticed that most online stores are closed?"

"They've closed down, but as long as we stay open, the people who want to buy things will come to our store."

"That's how it is in theory."

Chen Shuo was genuinely impressed with her. "But have you ever wondered why they closed down?"

"Because of the Chinese New Year holiday."

Bai Xiaoqi looked at him with a layer of worry. Could this guy have gone mad?

"That's right, there's a holiday for Chinese New Year, so the courier companies will also be closed, right?"

"..."

Bai Xiaoqi remained silent. She had already realized the essence of the problem: without a courier, she couldn't send her things out, which meant there was no point in waiting here.

Chen Shuo walked over and sat down on the sofa, inhaling the fragrance wafting from her body. Just as he was about to pull her into his arms, he caught a glimpse of her legs curled up behind her back, or more precisely, her little feet wrapped in cotton socks. His mind immediately began to stir.

Thinking about it, it's been a long time since I've touched these little feet. The last time I touched them was the last time.

"May I touch your feet?" he asked hesitantly.

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoqi's thoughts were immediately interrupted. She turned to look at him, stared at him for a while, and then asked, "Aren't you going to come up with an excuse now?"

"Uh, I can think of one if you need it."

After racking his brains for a moment, Chen Shuo asked, "What do you think of the reason of warming your feet?"

"It's alright."

Bai Xiaoqi felt that this reason wasn't quite right, but she still gave a vague reply, then stretched out her foot and added, "You're not allowed to pinch it."

"Yes, I definitely won't pinch it randomly."

Chen Shuo readily agreed, turned her legs sideways, brought her calves together and held them in his arms, reaching out to grab her little feet. Just as a satisfied expression appeared on his face, he looked up and saw her staring at him, her expression still showing a hint of unspoken words.

Why are you looking at me like that?

"I... I was just looking around."

Bai Xiaoqi turned her gaze to the computer and stared at it for a while. Then she stole a glance at him and found that he was holding her foot with a very satisfied expression on his face.

No, it should be said that he always seems very satisfied no matter what he does, so...

After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Why is all your affection for me so vulgar?"

Chen Shuo's eyes twitched twice. "What do you mean by 'all'?"

"都" means "all" or "everything".

"That's not what I wanted to ask. What I wanted to ask was..."

Chen Shuo hesitated, unsure how to ask, and simply stated, "My liking for you is all very normal liking."

"That's not normal. You like to eat my tongue, you like to touch my feet, and you like to touch my..."

At this point, Bai Xiaoqi looked down and saw that this was the place he had just found a couple of days ago.

"You know I'm lusting after you. Besides, I always ask for your permission before doing anything. I only do things when you're willing. And there are some things you like, right? Even if you don't like them, you still enjoy them. So we're both lewd."

"I didn't enjoy it; you taught me all of that."

Bai Xiaoqi would never admit that she also did lewd things, whether it was kissing and hugging, touching feet, touching a bear, or anything else.

She didn't enjoy any of these things at all. Even if she enjoyed them a little bit, it was all because he taught her. What did it have to do with her, this innocent little cat?

"I'm teaching you how to date."

"Is this what you have to do when you're dating?"

"Otherwise, we're boyfriend and girlfriend, a couple. If we're just polite and distant to each other, what's the point of dating?"

Chen Shuo gently massaged the little feet in his hands, earnestly instructing the adorable cat girl: "I like you, and you like me too. When you like someone, you can't help but want to be close to them and do intimate things together. This isn't vulgar; it's just liking someone. Kissing and hugging are examples of liking someone, and touching their feet is one too."

At this point, Chen Shuo pulled off her cotton socks, revealing her smooth, jade-like little feet.

Why are you taking off my socks?

She felt a chill on her feet, followed by being enveloped by a pair of warm, large hands. Bai Xiaoqi's entire body tensed up instinctively, her insteps arched, and her plump, round toes curled up forcefully.

“I think these socks are hindering our intimacy, don’t you think?” Chen Shuo retorted.

"..."

Bai Xiaoqi stopped talking, biting her lip as she watched him hold her foot in his hand and gently knead it. She felt that this was indeed more intimate, but without the socks to cover her, being held directly in his hand made her feel as if all her strength had been drained.

This intimacy felt comfortable, and I enjoyed it somewhat, but I was also very shy.

"Now that there are no deliveries, does that mean we have to close down?"

She turned her head to look at the computer, trying to ignore the feeling of her little feet being held by Chen Shuo, and the heat from his palm.

"You can turn it off, but it's unnecessary. I've set up an auto-reply for you. If someone buys something, they'll receive a message reminding them that express delivery will be suspended during the Chinese New Year and that shipping will be delayed. In other words, you can still place an order, but shipping will be delayed until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. The fitness equipment I bought was also shipped on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year."

Chen Shuo leaned back on the sofa and answered lazily, his eyes narrowed, looking extremely satisfied.

He used to touch feet through socks, and he had long wanted to tear off the socks. Now he finally fulfilled his dream.

It's warm and moist, about the size of a handful, and feels soft and tender to the touch. As for the taste, it must be fragrant.

Thinking this, he couldn't help but lift the little foot in his hand, bend down and kiss the instep. Mmm, it really smells good.

Just as I was about to kiss it again, the little foot in my hand vanished in a flash.

Chen Shuo subconsciously turned his head and met Bai Xiaoqi's complicated gaze, which was filled with embarrassment, annoyance, and disbelief.

Uh, I'm doomed.

Chapter 81 is too unfair!

Bai Xiaoqi blushed as she put her cotton socks back on, then curled her legs behind her back. Still seemingly uneasy, she adjusted her posture, pressing her feet under her body, and then pretended nothing had happened, continuing to look at the computer screen.

Chen Shuo tucked his hands into his pockets and shrank back to peek at her. He felt that his current image must be very complicated in her mind. Then he looked at his arms and found them empty; the little feet were gone.

"cough..."

After a long pause, Chen Shuo coughed lightly, breaking the awkward silence, "I can explain what happened just now."

“…”

Bai Xiaoqi stared at the computer and ignored him, but the cat ears on her head quietly perked up.

"First of all, I'm not a pervert, and then..."

Chen Shuo first set the tone for this matter, emphasizing that it absolutely could not be labeled as perverted—although it might have been labeled as such long ago, as clothing fetishism should also fall into the category of perverted.

"I think, well, I like you so much that I couldn't control myself, do you understand what I mean?"

"I...."

Bai Xiaoqi opened her mouth, "What the hell do I understand! How could there be someone in this world who likes to kiss feet?"

This guy is definitely a pervert, and he's especially annoying. Touching me isn't enough, he also wants to kiss me. I didn't even shower last night, and I didn't wash my feet, and he still kissed me.

"Does your 'liking' mean kissing feet?"

She vowed that if this guy dared to admit it, she would never kiss him again.

"I don't deny that, but it's just one way I express my liking for you, just like how I like to kiss your face and hands."

"Different."

"What's different?"

“…”

Bai Xiaoqi hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but glare at him with embarrassment and annoyance, "It's just different, your feet are dirty."

"Who said that? It's clearly very clean, white and tender, and it even smells good."

Chen Shuo felt indignant on behalf of those adorable little feet.

“…”
