I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

After brushing her teeth, Bai Xiaoqi rinsed her mouth with a gurgling sound, spat out the water, looked back at Chen Shuo, and said somewhat unclearly, "I'll abolish it from now on."

Chen Shuo didn't comment on her assurances or pursue the topic further. He turned to pour laundry detergent into the washing machine, then, remembering something, turned back and said, "I had a very vivid dream last night."

Bai Xiaoqi's heart skipped a beat. "What dream?"

"I dreamt that a snake crawled into my clothes. It felt so real, like it could feel me. It was slithering around my upper body. Luckily, it didn't crawl into my pants, or it would have been a nightmare."

Chen Shuo mimicked the shape of a snake's head with his hands, gesturing wildly, and almost taught himself a set of snake-style boxing.

"......"

Bai Xiaoqi hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to say. She was about to lower her head to wash her face when she hesitated again. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she reminded her, "Dreams are all fake, so no snake crawled into your clothes."

“I know, where would we get snakes from? You can hardly find any snakes in the city these days. You have to go to the countryside or the zoo.”

Chen Shuo handed over the towel, saying, "I'll take you to the zoo another day, and we'll go see the giant python."

"Oh."

From that "oh," Chen Shuo could tell that she wasn't very interested. As for the reason, it was probably because she wasn't interested in snakes. Girls are generally afraid of snakes, and of course, boys are too.

Many people have never even seen a snake, yet they have an inexplicable fear of them.

After breakfast, it was almost noon. The two sat on the sofa, each with their own computer, busy with their own things. Chen Shuo was typing, and Bai Xiaoqi was taking online classes.

Sitting on the bed with a beanbag chair is a good way to watch TV shows or movies, which is a good way to relax.

The coffee table is suitable for working and studying. If we divide studying into serious and unserious, Bai Xiaoqi prefers the unserious kind, which refers to strange and unusual knowledge.

For example, what's in the ocean? Are there aliens in the universe?

If she were to study seriously, she would prefer to study Chinese, because reading the texts would be similar to reading stories, although many texts require memorization.

However, she did not accept these demands, and Chen Shuo did not force her to accept them. Memorizing these things was of no use except for passing exams.

However, it is still necessary to memorize poems, lyrics, and songs. These are essential for cultivating cultural literacy and are the essence of the nation's traditional culture.

"Why do I have to memorize poems written by ancient people?" She silently recited along with the teacher in the online class for a while, and couldn't help but turn her head to ask.

“If you want, you can write your own poems and then memorize them,” Chen Shuo replied casually.

Bai Xiaoqi was silent for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Why do I need to memorize the poem if I've already written it myself?"

"You can also write it down without memorizing it."

"But I can't write."

"Then you'll have to carry them on your back."

“…”

Bai Xiaoqi remained silent, staring at the computer screen, her lips moving as she softly recited the poems.

She thought the ancients were quite annoying. They had nothing better to do than play on their phones, watch movies, or binge-watch TV series. Why did they have to write these things?

Oh, they didn't have computers or cell phones in their time, so they could only write these things to pass the time.

Bai Xiaoqi felt she had found the truth and was about to share her discovery with Chen Shuo when she turned her head and saw his clothes. After hesitating for two seconds, she asked instead, "Are you still exercising today?"

"I will exercise every day from now on."

"Oh."

Bai Xiaoqi said "Oh," hesitated for a while, and then asked casually, "So, are you still going to take off your clothes to exercise?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Shuo put down the keyboard, turned to look at her, and was pondering how to answer the question when he saw her avoiding his gaze, her face gradually turning red. He frowned and asked, "Why are you blushing? Why do I feel like you want me to take my clothes off?"

"I don't!"

“…”

Chen Shuo confirmed it; she did want him to take his clothes off.

Chapter 110

Chen Shuo had read an article a long time ago that said scientific research showed that women are actually more lustful than men, but women are naturally reserved and modest, so they don't show it.

The main argument of this article is that women value their image and appearance more than men. They like beautiful clothes and exquisite jewelry. These likes may seem like a love of beauty, but they are actually an appreciation and pursuit of color.

It actually makes a lot of sense, but Chen Shuo feels that it's not quite right to apply it to Bai Xiaoqi.

Although I have noticed her changes and know that she is different from before, I have not been able to change my mindset.

In my heart, I always regarded her as that naive, innocent, curious, and ignorant little Miao, just like when I first met her.

In fact, after more than half a year, she is no longer the naive and ignorant kitten she once was.

This is partly due to her own learning habits, such as frequently searching for strange and unusual knowledge online.

But more likely it's due to her own intentional or unintentional guidance. In short, she's no longer so naive, and even occasionally feels romantic.

Chen Shuo reflected silently.

Her dream was to be a real human being, but she was ignorant about many things about humanity, so she started a small class to teach how to be a person. And as she taught, she became the person she is today.

It must be said that teaching her how to be a person has indeed been very effective, but there are some things that are really difficult to teach, so she has always had a resistant attitude towards certain things, and even some fear.

If it were any other couple, they would have rolled around in bed eight hundred times by now, but he and she are still completely innocent.

Chen Shuo wasn't in a hurry, nor was he impatient. He only felt reluctant and endless pity, and wanted to take it slowly, little by little.

So although he sometimes gets physical, he always sticks to his bottom line.

While she was still somewhat dazed, or rather, not yet ready, Chen Shuo did not want to go too far, so he only gave her kisses and hugs, and occasionally touched the little bear and its little feet.

He knew perfectly well that even if he did *that* to her, nothing would happen...

That's just not good, because it's something she finds terrifying and is somewhat resistant to it.

But now...

Chen Shuo couldn't help but turn his head, and Bai Xiaoqi seemed to notice and also turned her head to look at him. Their eyes met, and then they both looked away at the same time.

Although their eyes met for only a brief moment, Chen Shuo still saw that her eyes were slightly shimmering, and the blush on her face had not completely faded, with a few traces of red remaining.

I'm already imagining myself shirtless. What will happen if this continues?

He felt that this little kitten might one day turn on him.

What I read online was absolutely right; boys really need to protect themselves.

"cough..."

Chen Shuo pulled himself out of his reverie and was about to continue typing when he coughed lightly, turned his head and asked, "After I finish typing and you finish your class, what shall we do?"

Bai Xiaoqi knew that this guy didn't want to embarrass her, so he deliberately changed the subject. After thinking for a while without coming up with anything, she simply asked in return, "What do you want to do?"

"Me? If it were me..."

Chen Shuo looked up at the ceiling and said very seriously, "I want to play games."

"Playing games?"

She paused for a moment, then realized that the person was probably talking about that kind of online game. People often streamed it on Bilibili. She had watched it a few times, and the people in it were always shouting and yelling, as if they were very excited. But she didn't quite understand it, nor did she understand why they were excited.

"I've never seen you play games before."

"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean I don't want to play it. Actually, I really want to, and I love playing games. I'm just afraid of getting addicted, so I don't play."

Boys are always interested in e-sports, and Chen Shuo is no exception. However, his gaming journey has been quite tortuous, and he hasn't seriously played any games for more than two years.

Let alone the popular game "Yuan Shen" in the last two years, I've never even played "Honor of Kings". My memories of games are still from my student days, like "Dungeon Fighter Online", "CrossFire", "League of Legends", and "PUBG".

After I started writing novels online, I stopped playing games much. It wasn't that I didn't have time to play a few rounds; when I first moved to this neighborhood, I would often go to the internet cafe to play for a while. That's how I met Du Bin, the local police officer.

But later he found himself itching to play if he didn't go for a day, realizing he was addicted, so he quickly quit the game.

There's nothing I can do. I'm not a top author. Top authors have so much freedom. They can just leave a message saying "No updates today" and do whatever they want. But I'm only half-heartedly active, still in the stage where I have readers, but their engagement isn't high.

He could only keep writing and didn't dare to ask for leave.

"Are you going to play games today?" Bai Xiaoqi asked.

"Don't play."

Chen Shuo shook his head, "A person's energy is limited; it's enough to be obsessed with just one thing."

What are you obsessed with?

"You."

Bai Xiaoqi was taken aback by his words. She moved her lips a few times but didn't say anything. Her face turned a little red. This guy really is shameless. He doesn't know any shame at all. He can say such things so naturally.

Seeing her like this, Chen Shuo couldn't help but laugh, realizing that he was now truly addicted to petting cats.

In the past, I would spend at least eight hours a day writing, and sometimes even a whole day writing.

But after I met her, this time gradually decreased, and after we became a couple, it was even less, at most three or four hours a day.

Now that I feel a sense of urgency and want to earn more money, I will update an extra chapter every day, but I will also limit my writing time to within six hours a day.

This shows that he was absolutely obsessed. Chen Shuo considered himself a person with strong self-control, but this did not apply when he was with her.

Therefore, he felt that he would never be able to quit this addiction for the rest of his life, nor did he want to.

“You have a lot of free time every day, you can play games, and that way I can enjoy watching them.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Chen Shuo regretted it, feeling as if he were leading an innocent young girl astray. Games are highly addictive; what if she becomes a game addict in the future...?

Should I learn to play video games?

Just then, Bai Xiaoqi's voice suddenly rang out.

Her expression showed a hint of excitement, and her clear eyes sparkled with anticipation.

After staring into those eyes for a long time, Chen Shuo suddenly smiled brightly, "Yes, you're going to learn how to play games."

My little cat has been cultivating in the deep mountains for so long, taking decades to finally transform from a cat into a human. Wouldn't it be such a waste not to experience something as great as a game?

Chapter 111 Another day without a chapter title

"Don't be so reckless, don't go out and fight with guns."

"Yeah, yeah, just lie down in the grass and be the sixth one, then move a little to the side so the grass can block you... Hey, why are you getting up?"
