I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

"Take your hand out of your pocket right now."

"Haha, I won't take it."

“…”

Bai Xiaoqi's anger flared up instantly. She forcefully pulled his hand away, then broke free from his embrace, stood on the ground, puffed out her cheeks, and glared at him.

"Bad seed, pervert, shameless, filthy, dog..."

Her rosy little lips opened and closed, uttering several words like a machine gun, but unfortunately, due to her limited vocabulary, she quickly got stuck.

"You're just like someone who regrets not having studied enough when they need it. You need to read more and study more in the future, otherwise you won't even know how to be stupid enough to scold me."

"..."

"Come up and sleep a little longer?" Seeing her staring at him without saying a word, Chen Shuo lifted the blanket and invited her.

"..."

Bai Xiaoqi ignored him, turned around and walked to the wardrobe, took out a piece of underwear, and prepared to take it to the bathroom to put on.

"You can actually wear it here, I promise I won't peek."

Chen Shuo pulled the blanket up to block his view and offered some very constructive suggestions.

"Hmph, I won't believe you."

Seeing that she left with those words and stormed out in her slippers, Chen Shuo lay back on the big bed, his fingers slightly bent and stretched, savoring the afterglow of what had just happened.

Although Maomao Mountain is not a towering mountain, it is still quite large.

It's a real shame that it's probably difficult to touch it again.

According to this little cat's view, many intimate things can only be saved for after marriage.

It's hard to say how she formed this idea; it might have been there when she was a cat, or it might have formed after she became a human.

The latter is more likely. If you think about it carefully, she likes to search for strange and unusual knowledge online. She even searched online for information about having children before.

Then she learned about the term "marital life" and was prejudiced that this kind of thing had to wait until marriage. Later she learned that it was possible not to get married, but her fear made her act like an ostrich, thinking that she should put it off for now.

Therefore, she would never dare to be too intimate with herself when sleeping at night.

What she was worried about was not intimacy, but that once intimacy began, he would take advantage of her and gradually break down her defenses.

This applies to sleeping while holding a teddy bear, and it also applies to petting a teddy bear.

But Chen Shuo still felt that the girl's worries were completely unnecessary.

Although men have significant biological flaws and sometimes find it difficult to control themselves, I am who I am and I can certainly restrain myself.

At most, I'd pet the little bear, without the clothes in between.

And I really love it so much, it would be a shame not to touch it.

After lingering comfortably in bed for a while longer, Chen Shuo finally got out of bed and went to the living room.

Bai Xiaoqi had finished washing up and was preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

Chen Shuo stepped over and hugged her from behind. This time, he didn't act restlessly; his hands were properly around her waist. He leaned in to her neck and took a deep breath. Just as he was about to speak, he heard her ask, "Are you a dog?"

"No, I was born in the Year of the Dragon."

Bai Xiaoqi pursed her lips and said, "I need to cook, so let me go first."

"I'll put it down later." Chen Shuo paused, then asked, "Can I still hold you while I sleep tonight?"

"Would it have made a difference if I said no?"

"It's no use."

“…”

Bai Xiaoqi had no intention of paying attention to this person anymore. She knew it was useless. Some things, once done, can never be undone. Sleeping in the same bed was one thing, and so was kissing feet.

"I'll buy us a big quilt and a big pillow online in a little while."

Chen Shuo gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, then released her waist with satisfaction, preparing to go to the bathroom to wash up. Suddenly, he realized something was wrong and touched her waist. "Where's the elastic band on your pants?"

"What elastic band? I don't have one on my pants at all."

Okay, I won't admit it.

Chen Shuo went outside to look at the trash can and found a waistband broken in two inside, clearly cut with scissors.

He turned to the kitchen and said, "Don't tie your pants in a knot tonight. Is it really necessary to treat me like you're protecting yourself from a wolf?"

"It's necessary." "What a load of rubbish! You're always afraid I'll ruin you. Are you overthinking it? Do you think I'm the kind of man you can get so easily? Let me tell you, I'm not that kind of person."

Bai Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, and it took her a few seconds to react before she turned around and shouted in a very loud voice, "Me neither!"

"......"

Chapter 116 Going Astray (Two-in-one chapter) - Red envelope at the end

"You're already playing games after just finishing breakfast?"

"I even agree to let you hold me while I sleep..."

"...Go ahead and play."

"Humph."

Bai Xiaoqi wrinkled her nose and snorted, then continued to roam the Galar region with her handheld console. She now owned five Pikachu, all of which she carried with her to keep the green-haired monkey company.

She likes this yellow mouse; cats all like mice, which makes perfect sense.

She'd only been playing since yesterday, and the green-haired monkey had evolved once and wasn't as cute as before, which made her think there was something wrong with the game's design.

They should have become more beautiful as they evolved.

Chen Shuo picked out a large double quilt online, choosing a thick one. Just as he was about to place the order, he remembered that the weather was getting warmer, so he simply bought a thinner quilt for summer. He also bought a large pillow, a matching duvet cover and pillowcases—everything he needed.

I happily placed the order and paid, and as usual told the seller to please ship it as soon as possible before putting my phone back in my pocket.

Just as she was about to start typing on her computer, Chen Shuo turned to look at her and suggested, "I think you should take online classes now, then do your workbook exercises. Finish today's lessons first, and then you can play games later."

"I can study in the afternoon."

"The early morning is the best time to start the day, meaning that the morning or forenoon is the most suitable time to study."

"I've already agreed to let you hold me while I sleep."

"How come you only know this one sentence?"

"You put your hands inside my clothes and touched me..." Bai Xiaoqi bit her lip and whispered.

"Alright, alright, you can play now."

Chen Shuo knew he was in the wrong, so he first looked at yesterday's book reviews, picked out a few to reply to, and then started writing today. The sound of typing had barely begun when he couldn't help but start rambling again.

"When you cursed me this morning, you only knew a few words, which fully exposed your illiteracy."

Ultimately, it all boils down to your lack of education. If you had read many, many books, you could come up with all sorts of creative ways to insult me, instead of just knowing a few words.

"I'm not illiterate. It's just that the swear words are all bad, so I deliberately didn't learn them," Bai Xiaoqi said confidently.

"Do you know how to curse elegantly? Do you know how to curse without using swear words? Do you know how to curse someone so that they still suspect you might be praising them?"

Chen Shuo glanced at her sideways, his tone irritatingly irritating: "You don't know, do you?"

"I, I..."

Bai Xiaoqi hesitated, "I don't want to know."

"See, when you can't win an argument, all you do is run away."

"That's all nonsense."

"You can't even come up with a fallacy."

"I'll play twenty more..."

Bai Xiaoqi held her breath for a moment, then held up two fingers, then held up another, making it three. "I'll play for another half hour and then I'll study. Don't bother me, I'm going to challenge my first gym."

"Just half an hour?"

"Yes, I'm not lying to you."

"Then I'll trust you this once."

Chen Shuo shut his mouth in satisfaction and stopped nagging. He knew he couldn't force her when it came to her studies; he had to use a gentle and roundabout approach.

Besides, this girl is naturally playful, and it's easy for her to get addicted when she first starts playing games, so I need to be tolerant and understanding of her.

Turning my attention back to the computer screen, I've been writing this slice-of-life romance novel for over half a year now. Slice-of-life novels are inherently short-lived, unlike fantasy and martial arts novels which can easily reach millions or even tens of millions of words. A million words is considered a remarkable epic.

His book has been updated for more than half a year and is now in its final stages. It is expected to be completed in about ten or twenty more chapters.

He has started brainstorming ideas for a new book, but he has no clue what to write about.

Regardless, after finishing the writing, Chen Shuo planned to take a break for a while. Two days ago, Director Nie mentioned during dinner that if all went smoothly, the household registration would be processed in a month or two.

With a household registration and ID card, everything will be much more convenient, and I can take her to many places I couldn't go before.

For example, when buying tickets online for the zoo, Chen Shuo realized that these days you have to register with your real name to visit a zoo.

We'll have to wait a while before we can talk about seeing the giant python.

Hmm, I think I dreamt about a snake crawling into my clothes again last night.

I've dreamt of snakes crawling into my clothes for two nights in a row. What does this mean?

Chen Shuo felt he needed to consult the Duke of Zhou's Dream Interpretation, but he still felt that it wasn't a snake.

It is very likely that...

"Why can't I beat this gym leader?" Bai Xiaoqi handed him the handheld game console to show him.

"Can't beat them?"

Chen Shuo pulled himself out of his thoughts. The game was almost easy to complete; the difficulty lay in the later battles.

She might encounter all sorts of nasty teams then. Rainy/sunny/sandstorm teams are child's play; the real challenge is dealing with teams that act as punching bags, teams that use poison to protect others, and teams that rely on space...

The first Taoist temple she encountered was practically a breeze, and Chen Shuo glanced at the game interface and immediately understood, "Why are you using so many power-hungry devices?"
