What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

Before Naitang could leave Li Zhi's arms, Jiu Ge quickly said, "Li Zhi, you have such a fatherly nature."

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that she might have expressed herself incorrectly.

"She means you seem to know how to take care of small creatures like cats, dogs, and children." An Chen raised his eyebrows, acting as Jiu Ge's translator.

"Oh? This? Everyone likes to take care of cute things." Li Zhi stroked Naitang's cat ears, his fatherly affection spreading across his face.

The cat's ears are twitching, it's so cute!

"!!!"

Su Zhi was so excited she almost clapped.

She began mouthing the words to Jiuge: "Now, quick!"

Jiuge nodded.

Looking at Li Zhi, who was once again immersed in the gentle embrace of the cat, she coughed.

“?” Li Zhi looked up.

"Li Zhi, do you like children?" Jiu Ge tried hard to find the right words.

"It's alright." Li Zhi thought for a moment.

Human babies don't seem as cute as cats?

“…” An Chen pressed his temples.

He roughly understood what Su Zhi wanted Jiu Ge to help with.

Seeing that Li Zhi and Jiu Ge were chatting, Su Zhi winked at An Chen and mouthed something like asking An Chen to help her out.

Su Zhi's lip movements were a bit exaggerated, and sometimes very fast.

An Chen thought Jiu Ge was really amazing, as she could completely understand Su Zhi's lip movements.

"So, do you prefer boys or girls?" Jiu Ge asked, holding An Chen's hand with a nervous expression.

"Pretty much. If I had to choose, I'd pick a girl. Long hair looks more artistic when styled in an updo." When talking about children, Li Zhi didn't forget her "artist" persona.

"What's wrong? Have you already decided to have a baby? So early?" He pinched the bridge of his nose, looking surprised.

"Wh...no! How could that be? An Chen and I aren't married yet, and as for children...boys and girls, that's all..." Jiu Ge explained incoherently.

And she doesn't want children for the time being.

If you want to be a mother, you definitely need to do your homework and prepare yourself mentally first.

Otherwise...

Jiuge thought of herself and her parents.

If I want to have children, I definitely don't want my situation to end up like mine.

"..." Su Zhi covered her face.

She began to doubt whether her brilliant decision to entrust the task to the wrong person had been made.

"What I mean is... I haven't thought about it yet... no, I haven't decided yet... no, that's not right either." Jiuge gestured with her hands in the air, looking extremely cute.

Upon seeing this, Li Zhidu was taken aback.

So cute! An Chen is so lucky.

If the men in the association knew, they'd be scratching their heads and beating their chests like gorillas, and they'd have to yell at the sky.

"..."

Su Zhi remained silent.

In the end, it was all for naught.

“Jiuge thinks it’s a pity that you and Suzhi are still single, so she wanted to ask about your criteria for choosing a partner, whether you like children or something.” An Chen pulled Jiuge into his arms and explained to Li Zhi with a smile.

Su Zhi secretly gave An Chen a thumbs up.

I should have asked An Chen for help from the beginning.

"My ultimate dream is to be an artist; feelings are optional." Li Zhi's eyes changed, and she entered a strange mode.

Gently stroking the top of Naitang's head, Naitang made a comfortable gurgling sound.

"So if you want a girlfriend, what kind of girlfriend would you like?" Jiuge asked, seizing the opportunity.

"What kind?" Li Zhi looked down at the milk candy.

“First and foremost, she must be an elegant woman,” he said slowly.

"..." An Chen and Jiu Ge glanced at Su Zhi, who was anything but elegant, out of the corner of their eyes.

"Secondly, she must be like a lotus emerging from the water—gentle, intelligent, and possessing an elegant demeanor born from knowledge and refinement." Li Zhi stroked the cat's head as he continued to imagine the beauty in his mind.

"Hmm, anything else?..." An Chen and Jiu Ge glanced again at Su Zhi, who was not particularly relevant.

Su Zhi was blushing and holding her face in her hands, as if Li Zhi was talking about her.

"It should look good, preferably fair-skinned, not too fat or too thin, well-proportioned is best."

After Li Zhi finished speaking, he gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"Of course, a woman like that might not even be interested in me, so I can only say she's my ideal woman," he said, his voice filled with bitterness.

“How could someone as charming as Li Zhi not be interested?” Su Zhi turned her head and patted Li Zhi’s back hard.

"Stop teasing me, you silly girl." Li Zhi instantly snapped out of her inexplicable sadness.

“I’m not joking, I’m serious. I’ll beat up anyone who looks down on you,” Su Zhi retorted defiantly.

"Alright, alright, I got it." Li Zhi smiled happily.

"Hmm, does Li Zhi have someone he likes?" Jiu Ge asked, seizing the opportunity.

"Not yet," Li Zhi replied calmly, glancing at Jiu Ge.

"Have you ever liked anyone before? Like, for example, any girl you know?" Jiu Ge hinted furiously.

"Sigh, it makes me very sad to talk about this. I've been preoccupied with Su Zhi's affairs and haven't had much opportunity to meet anyone else. If I had to say who I've ever liked, it would definitely be those beautiful women depicted in books and paintings." Li Zhi completely entered her literary youth mode.

"..." Su Zhi fell silent.

An Chen and Jiu Ge also fell silent.

The road ahead is long and arduous...

Chapter 301 So, do you think they look good in their clothes? (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions)

It took almost half a year for Jiuge to finally transform from a seemingly calm and aloof goddess into a lovely and adorable beauty.

From initially having difficulty communicating normally with people, I now have several friends.

From knowing nothing at the beginning, she has now become a "cultured" young woman.

The time was short, but it was joyful enough.

In just six months, Jiuge gained far more than she had in her previous twenty years of life.

Now, winter has arrived in the blink of an eye.

People were all wearing thick cotton-padded clothes.

Aside from tracking phantoms, she spends her time working, hanging out with friends, and dating, otherwise just like any other college student.

If it weren't for the hardworking Awu tirelessly stepping on landmines at the community entrance every day, and Yi Yuan sending her messages every now and then, Jiu Ge would have almost forgotten that there were still matters in the underworld to deal with.

An Chen wasn't in a hurry and didn't seem to have any psychological burden, so she wasn't too worried.

On the other side, the knight, who had been practically left to his own devices by the association, was also diligently studying the notebook.

It's a pity that so far we've only been able to analyze things like the resurrection of the dead and the imprisonment of souls, which aren't particularly amazing.

……

What do you want to eat today?

An Chen, wearing a scarf and hat, returned from school at 6:30 p.m.

"Fried chicken." Without even thinking, Jiuge answered instantly.

Cold weather is perfect for fried chicken; it's delicious and filling, and most restaurants even give you a free soda.

"Why did you take so long to come back today?" she asked, glancing at the time.

They are juniors this year and no longer have evening self-study sessions.

School usually ends at 5:40 at the latest, and it only takes about 20 minutes to get back.

"I encountered a suspicious spirit following an old scavenger on the road, and I politely greeted it for a while." An Chen shrugged, showing no intention of entering the living room.

Milk Candy sneaked to the entrance and skillfully lay down at An Chen's feet.

"Greetings?" Jiuge blinked.

Having learned from Awu's experience, her intuition told her that this greeting was likely to be violent.

Moreover, given An Chen's personality, he wouldn't feel at ease unless he beat a particularly evil spirit ten or more times until it was subdued.

“Yes, greetings.” An Chen nodded.

He simply politely "invited" the other party out of the pseudo-city.

"So you're not coming in now because you're going out to buy me fried chicken?" Jiu Ge looked at An Chen and took out her phone from her pocket.

"Let me tell you, ordering takeout is actually more cost-effective. I buy membership coupons every month, which saves me at least five yuan. For fried chicken shops, you can use them to redeem a ten-yuan store coupon." She waved her phone, looking like she knew it all.

Having ordered takeout for two years, Jiuge is already a seasoned veteran.

She always attends any large-scale subsidy event on time.

“Tomorrow is the weekend, we won’t order takeout or eat this kind of food,” An Chen shook his head.

As a college student who has already learned about health preservation, how can I think about high-calorie junk food every day?

"?" Jiuge straightened her clothes, wrapped a scarf around her neck, and walked towards An Chen.

"You mean you're going to take me out to eat something even better?" She licked her lips, her eyes sparkling.
