I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

"go to bed!"

"Okay, I'm going to sleep. Goodnight."

Chen Shuo sighed, reached out and turned off the desk lamp, pulled the blanket up higher, and then closed his eyes.

Damn it, being in poor health means you can't speak with confidence.

The next second, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Wait a minute, my health has never been bad, okay?

Just then, a cell phone light shone in. "Why are you opening your eyes?"

"I..."

Chen Shuo opened his mouth, pulled the blanket up to cover his face, and pretended to be dead.

After a moment of silence, he spoke from under the covers, "My health is perfectly fine, at most I'm just a little unwell, really, you can believe me."

"......"

Bai Xiaoqi ignored him. Once she picked up the conversation, they would start talking again, and once they started, it would go on and on, and he would have to stay up late again.

He can't even withstand a headbutt from me, yet he dares to say he's physically strong.

It's all a lie.

I'm smart enough not to be fooled by him.

whispering sound....

Her soft little lips curled into a slightly disdainful smile. She rolled over, hugged the pillow tightly, thought for a moment, then pulled the blanket up higher, covering her head as well. After a moment of hesitation, she picked up her phone and opened Baidu.

Then, biting her lip lightly, her face flushed, she began to search for the reason why she had experienced that situation during the kiss.

On the eve of the Lunar New Year, they said they would go to bed early, but both of them ended up staying up all night, or rather, suffering from insomnia.

One person is hiding under the covers, pondering how to prove that their body is actually quite good.

One hides in another's nest, researching knowledge that makes them blush and their heart race.

.......

Chen Shuo didn't remember when he fell asleep, only that it was just getting light and firecrackers were going off outside.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already afternoon.

I sat up, rubbed my eyes, and looked at the big bed. The blankets were spread out, and a cat-shaped pillow was lying on the blankets.

Hearing the noise in the living room, he got up, got out of bed, and went out in his slippers.

Bai Xiaoqi was setting plates on the coffee table. The plates were filled with steaming dumplings. They had made a lot of dumplings on New Year's Eve yesterday, and the two of them brought back a big bag of raw dumplings, which they put in the freezer to make enough for several meals.

Hearing the voice behind her, she turned around and glanced back, then looked away with a flicker of interest.

"Do you want some of the dumplings I cooked?"

"That's a question you asked."

Chen Shuo felt that the question was unnecessary. He walked over and noticed the fatigue on her face. He wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind and asked softly, "You seem a little tired. Didn't you sleep well last night?"

“…”

It was just a normal hug, but Bai Xiaoqi felt her body inexplicably stiffen. After a moment, seeing that she didn't experience the same thing as last night, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Yeah, I went to bed a little late."

"You were playing on your phone under the covers again?"

"I do not have."

"How could you do without me..."

As they were talking, Chen Shuo suddenly noticed a blush creeping up her face, and he was a little confused.

He then released her slender waist, scratched his head, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go take a shower first, and then we'll come out to eat."

Bai Xiaoqi didn't reply. Watching him walk into the bathroom, her face turned even redder. Remembering the knowledge she had found on her phone last night, her eyes flickered a few times before she became determined again.

I didn't do anything vulgar. People online say it's normal because they like it.

......

Taking a shower was just an excuse. Chen Shuo needed to sort out his thoughts. Judging from the blush on her face, he had every reason to suspect that this girl had broken through the firewall last night and entered a website where a dealer with a rather rare surname was dealing cards online.

This croupier's surname is really rare; it's Gan.

After washing up and taking a quick shower, Chen Shuo came out drying his hair, feeling that he had already prepared his speech.

But I didn't say it right away, otherwise the dumplings would get cold. Northern dumplings don't have as many varieties as those in the south, like steamed dumplings and pan-fried dumplings, neither of which stick together very easily.

But in the north, dumplings are mostly boiled, and they stick together when they get cold, making them inedible.

A meal of dumplings that was neither lunch nor dinner was finished.

Chen Shuo tidied up the dishes and took them to the kitchen to wash them. He then came out and sat down next to Bai Xiaoqi, hesitated for a moment, and said...

"The internet is a double-edged sword; it contains both good and bad things, and you need to be able to distinguish between them yourself."

Like I told you before, a lot of things online are unreliable, and some websites shouldn't be visited casually; once you're in, you should close them immediately. You remember that, right?

"Ah."

Bai Xiaoqi hesitated before nodding, sensing that this guy seemed to know something. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "Why are you telling me all this?"

"Oh, I just remembered to mention it casually. Although you know how to discern, I'm still quite worried sometimes. I'm afraid you'll be led astray by things online, and that you'll be blinded by false information and easily believe those things."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoqi's heart tightened, and she subconsciously retorted, "I think those are quite believable."

Hearing this, Chen Shuo breathed a sigh of relief. He already knew that the girl hadn't visited any lewd websites, but she must have gone to search for those weird things again last night.

"Some are credible, some are not. If you'd like, could you tell me what you think is credible, and I'll help you distinguish them?"

"No."

Bai Xiaoqi shook her head and refused directly; how could she possibly say such a thing?

"If it can't be done, then forget it." Chen Shuo said helplessly, there was no way to force such a thing.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoqi hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and habitually wrapped her arms around his neck, whispering in his ear, "I think I must like you more and more, that's why I did that."

"What do you mean by 'that'?"

I won't tell you.

Chapter Ninety-One: Besides the Body

In previous years, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Shuo would always stay at home with his parents to receive relatives, and after that, he would write.

As for his birthday, he's hardly ever had a birthday cake, since the date is rather...unfortunate, you can hardly find a cake shop open on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

This year, I didn't spend the first day of the Lunar New Year at my parents' house, so naturally I didn't have to entertain relatives, but I still had to write.

However, he couldn't concentrate on writing. After all, everyone has curiosity, and Chen Shuo certainly does too. He really wanted to know what that was.

She would occasionally turn her head to look at Bai Xiaoqi, who was hunched over the coffee table doing her workbook. Although she looked worried, her cheeks were very fair.

Unlike when she was saying those words to me just now, her little face was flushed. Just thinking about it makes me feel that the little secret she was hiding is quite embarrassing.

After typing a few lines, Chen Shuo would stop and glance at her. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to suppress his curiosity and stop asking questions, respecting her wishes.

Ultimately, when two people are together, they can't pry into everything, nor can they force her to tell them everything just because she's naive. That would be disrespectful to her.

What Chen Shuo was worried about was that she might find some wrong answers online, such as feeling unwell, and then ask on some website that likes to use paid search rankings, which would make her feel disheartened and think that she was beyond help and just waiting to die.

"cough..."

Thinking of this, Chen Shuo coughed lightly. Seeing her turn her gaze towards him, he instructed, "If any abnormalities or problems occur in your body, do not search for them online, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoqi was taken aback. Then, her fair face changed color and turned red rapidly. Her lips trembled for a while before she turned her gaze back, pretending not to have heard, and continued to bite her pen and do her homework.

"Why are you blushing?" Chen Shuo asked, puzzled.

"I'm not famous."

Seeing her stubbornness, Chen Shuo became even more puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "You didn't actually go online and search for those things related to the body...?"

"I don't!"

"Oh."

Realizing that her tone had been harsh, Bai Xiaoqi took a deep breath to calm herself down before whispering, "I can't be disturbed while I'm doing my homework. You're not allowed to talk to me."

"Hmm, I won't say."

After observing her reactions and reflecting on them, Chen Shuo vaguely understood what was happening. He continued typing, but couldn't help glancing at the balcony again.

As the evening sun began to set, the few willow trees outside the window, which had withered in winter, sprouted new buds, their branches and leaves swaying gently in the breeze.

Spring has truly arrived...

.......

Around 8 p.m., Bai Xiaoqi finally escaped from the arduous task of doing her homework. She checked her online store; the computer had been on and sitting on the coffee table the whole time, without making a sound, but she still held onto a sliver of hope.

But this glimmer of hope was quickly dashed; she still hadn't made a single sale. To be precise, she hadn't sold a single item since the online store opened.

"It's always like this when you first open for business, and it's Chinese New Year now, so not many people are buying anything. It will get better gradually."

"So people will start buying things on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, right?"

Although it was a question, Bai Xiaoqi's tone was quite certain, and she even clenched her little fist to cheer herself up.

She felt that the reason no one was buying anything now was because of the Chinese New Year. She believed that after the seventh day of the new year, she would definitely become rich and wealthy, and reach the pinnacle of life.

Then he threw the money he had earned onto Chen Shuo's computer desk and said, "Agou, stop writing. A Miao will take care of you from now on."

"Yes, definitely."

Chen Shuo had no idea what she was thinking about, so he nodded cooperatively and continued to help her check her workbook for today. Putting aside whether the answers were correct or not, the handwriting on it was simply indescribable.

The numbers are alright, since they're simple and easy to write, but the handwriting is truly appalling.

However, it's understandable, as she has only been learning to write for about half a year.

Moreover, there are many characters that I don't know how to write. Sometimes I have to take out my phone, type out the character using pinyin, and then write it down.
