At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

"Hey, cat owner, we haven't seen each other for years, I miss you so much."

"? It's only been less than 24 hours."

"Mmm, every minute is so hard to get through. If my sister hadn't tied me up and wouldn't let me go, I would have run away back to find you in the middle of the night."

Miya pouted, and the image of Anqing likely eating cat food alone last night flashed through her mind.

Thinking about this, I can't help but feel a little regretful.

[Let's not leave then.]

"It's okay, I'll play with you today, let's have a great time!" Su Che smiled and took her little hand.

"is it?"

"Of course! When have I ever lied to you!"

"So... how painful and how fast?"

The kitten raised its little face, revealing a dazed expression.

"........."

Su Che grabbed her and refused to answer her wrong question.

The two entered the amusement park by scanning their faces and headed straight for the familiar rides.

The terminal was deserted as always; even the staff had vanished like ghosts.

However, all the machines were lit up.

Besides Mai, you can also play all the other coin pusher machines, claw machines, racing machines, Three Kingdoms gold-making machines, and King of Fighters collection crank machines.

The lights were dazzling, and the musical instruments in the humidity control cabinet in front of the small stage were eye-catching.

"When you're tired of playing, you can rest; when you're tired of resting, you can eat and drink; after you've eaten, you can come back and continue playing; if you've done something sinful, you can immediately practice the piano to make up for your guilty conscience."

Miya seemed to have no ulterior motives, which made Su Che lower his guard.

He was actually quite curious. It was Miya who suggested coming to the amusement park. Did Miya think that playing games together was enough for her when it came to dates?

She wasn't like this before, when she wanted to take a physiology class.

Su Che suppressed the urge to ask and decided to find the answer himself.

He soon realized that things were heading in the wrong direction...

"Cat owner, you're a mature big kid now, so today I'll play you a slightly more difficult song. It might be a bit tiring, but I'm sure you won't mind..."

Miya spoke to him in a serious tone, as if she were a senior.

"Oh, of course, no problem."

Su Che figured that since he was just playing along with her, he might as well go through military training. If it involved skipping levels, he could just stop trying to rank up.

But after a few minutes, he noticed that Miya kept choosing songs that required a lot of physical exertion, and even though she had a high score, the two of them were drenched in sweat after playing a couple of rounds!

My clothes, pants, and skirt are completely soaked!

Tracks above level 13/13+, and even occasionally reaching level 14, caused Su Che to sweat profusely down his forehead. After all, this was intense aerobic exercise, burning several hundred calories every hour, so he naturally felt immense pressure.

then……

After 32 songs...

Su Che could no longer stand up.

He slumped to the ground, shaking his head and waving his hands, "I really can't go on anymore, I can't play anymore. My muscles are sore, really, I can't even stand up straight."

"But a man can't say he can't do it. You see, raising a cat is tiring too; I'm not as delicate as you." The kitten started to annoy her.

"Your score is higher, so you exert less force and your movements are smaller, which means your energy consumption is more manageable, and that's why you can stay upright..."

Su Che wasn't stupid; he was fully aware of the gap between himself and the experts.

Although I am a newly promoted B, Miya's calm and composed stage presence is something I can't learn.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Miya immediately tilted her body to the side, as if she had tripped, and fell straight towards someone... crashing into his arms—

He read aloud, "Brother, I fell down."

"??"

Su Che stared in shock at the kitten's expressionless face, which showed absolutely no acting skills, and hesitated to speak.

"Fine, fine. You're trying to extort me, aren't you?"

"Hmm. It's hot, and we've sweated a lot. We should go take a shower."

"........."

Su Che was stumped by her suggestion. He wondered where he could take a shower in this environment, even though it was necessary.

Are you suggesting we find a bathhouse or spa to wash ourselves before going out to eat during a date?

He was still pondering this when he saw Miya raise her little hand and point to a huge sign that was clearly affixed to the side of the taping machine—

The sign read: "Sunny Day Amusement Park's VIP shower rooms are now open! Use them for free by swiping your card! Unlimited hot water, towels, shampoo, body lotion, and other amenities are provided! Welcome to experience it!"

"?"

Su Che opened his mouth, his gaze fixed on the Chinese characters on the screen, causing his CPU to overload slightly.

Is this an arcade or a gym?

"Airport."

Have you ever heard of showering in the airport lounge?

"I've heard about it, I just heard about it." The kitten blinked, pretending not to know beforehand, but because its acting was so bad, the sly smile on its lips was caught by someone.

"You're trying to trick me, aren't you, Miya?" Su Che said warily.

"No, I didn't. I just like things to be clean. Let's go, I even prepared new clothes and new underwear for you."

"……what?"

Su Che heard the system stop operating, but he didn't have time to think. The little cat grabbed his wrist and half-pushed, half-shoved him towards a mysterious passage in the far corner of the arcade...

"VIP Laundry Area".

Three minutes later...

Su Che stopped in the enclosed 9-square-meter bathroom space, looking around helplessly and confusedly.

"Why are the washrooms here unseparated by gender and without curtains? In most places, even gyms have separate men's and women's showers, right?"

"Yes."

Miya nodded seriously, pretending to care as she replied, "But there's an old saying in Tianhai that I don't know if cat owners have heard of."

"what?"

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

"...?"

Su Che stared in disbelief.

The kitten said, "It means that you have to follow the rules of the place you're in. The rule here is obviously that space is limited, so in order to make good use of it, we hope that two people can squeeze in together."

Personally, I understand the business's intentions, since they've already provided hot water for free, so I think I'll cooperate.

"..."

"Won't cat owners object?"

"."

Su Che understood. Today, Miya had come prepared and had learned a lot of bad ideas, which she was now trying to use against him.

"Okay. I'll cooperate. Just don't mind it."

"I'm not shy, because I take off your pajamas every day when you're asleep."

"... "

Looking at her serious expression, which didn't seem like she was lying, Su Che finally understood why he sometimes felt a chill in his body in the middle of the night when he was resting in the master bedroom. It was the feeling of not being covered by a blanket, not wearing clothes, and as if someone had applied Tiger Balm to his skin...

He felt that this shouldn't be thought about too much, otherwise he might be tempted to discipline the kitten.

And so, with the bathroom door locked, the sound of running water could be heard faintly through the door.

In the steamy environment, the kitten's immature body, surrounded by white light, was extremely adorable.

This is a CG that belongs exclusively to her. In the place where they first met, she revisits the mist with her beloved, treating each other with honesty and without any secrets.

Thirty minutes passed just like that, but the bathroom door remained tightly closed. No one knew whether the scheming little cat had actually grown into a woman on this beautiful afternoon, but all the homework she had done before coming here had been completely and thoroughly carried out.

The owner of this shop—

It turns out she's the teacher of a cat at a recording studio.

At that moment, I received a message on my phone: "Everything has been arranged for you. Remember, this is a rare opportunity. Be bold and try new things to achieve your own happiness. This is a lesson for adults. You can't live in childhood forever."

The kitten understood perfectly and, with immense courage, chose to go all in on this crucial day.

She consulted her sister about "how to drag a cat into the bathroom." Although her sister also lacked experience in this area, she understood the relationship between a man's (or woman's) clothing and body cleanliness and gave her an answer on the spot:

"Didn't you want to play with him? If you get him dirty, he'll be forced to wash himself."

Your teacher has provided you with the necessary environment, so the later stages of preparation are all done. As for the initial preparations, I'll send you two more sets of clothes as backup. Absolutely no problem.

As it turned out, the "dirty tactics" were very successful.

Su Che couldn't stand the sweat staining his clothes, just as he wouldn't stand by and watch a kitten fall down without helping it up.

After three rounds of bathing, my goodwill towards him was refreshed.

"Sunny Amusement Park" was originally planned as the first half of the date, but when Su Che brought out the kitten, which was practically unwashed, in a princess carry... it was already dusk.

"Miya, where should we go next? Can we just eat?"

Su Che asked somewhat guiltily.

"No."

The kitten shook her head, clearly indicating that she had more important things to do than eat.
