Chapter 156: Chapter 156: You Damn Man, Know Your Place

At that exact moment, Yan Luoxi looked at him too.

Their eyes met.

Gu Yizhou: "..."

Yan Luoxi: "..."

For a moment, neither the man nor the cat knew what to say...

The driver noticed Gu Yizhou had gone silent and paused for a second.

He glanced back and saw that the cat in Gu Yizhou’s carrier was, in fact, white.

"Er..."

Suddenly, the air in the car grew awkward.

After that, the driver clamped his mouth shut, not daring to speak again.

「Half an hour later.」

They arrived at the train station.

Gu Yizhou got out of the car, cat carrier in hand.

After he shut the door, the driver floored it. The "yellow Ferrari" shot off like an arrow into the distance, quickly disappearing from sight...

Gu Yizhou glanced down at Xiaobai in the carrier and saw she had an angry, thoroughly annoyed look on her face.

He shook his head helplessly and tried to soothe her. "Alright, Xiaobai, the driver didn’t do it on purpose. Don’t be angry!"

"MROWL~!"

Yan Luoxi cried out at him, full of indignation!

But!

’She knew Gu Yizhou was right, but she was still thoroughly bummed out!’

’It’s easy for you to say, you damn man! He wasn’t calling *you* ugly, so of course you’re fine with it!’

Seeing this, Gu Yizhou knew she wasn’t going to get over it anytime soon.

But he didn’t have time to placate her right now. Chen Dongyuan’s cousin was about to arrive, and he had to go meet her.

Shaking his head helplessly, he picked up the carrier and walked toward the station’s waiting hall.

When Yan Luoxi saw that this damn man Gu Yizhou was ignoring her, she felt even more sullen.

...

「Ten minutes later.」

The train was delayed.

Outside the waiting hall, Gu Yizhou sat on the steps, idly petting his cat with one hand and trading sporadic messages with Chen Dongyuan on his phone with the other.

It was Chen Dongyuan, naturally, who was being unresponsive.

Because Gu Yizhou was relentlessly roasting him!

If he didn’t still need Gu Yizhou to pick up his cousin, he would’ve just blocked the bastard.

But what could he do!

The guy was just too infuriating!

Fortunately, the train wasn’t delayed for too long.

Another ten minutes or so passed.

Just as Gu Yizhou was playing with his little white cat, a fair, slender hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.

It was immediately followed by a sweet-sounding voice.

"Brother Yizhou?"

Hearing the voice, both Gu Yizhou and Yan Luoxi turned to look.

A girl in a baseball jacket appeared before them.

The girl wore a stylish, dark blue baseball jacket, its wide sleeves swaying in the wind. A golden team logo was embroidered on it, lending it an air of understated luxury.

She wore a matching baseball cap that was both fashionable and provided shade from the sun.

She had a fresh face and delicate features. Her skin was fair, her eyes sparkled like bright stars, and her long eyelashes trembled softly. Her long hair was tied back in a casual ponytail with slightly curled ends. Her most striking feature was her straight nose, which made her face look even more refined.

She was blinking at Gu Yizhou, a few strands of hair having escaped to rest lightly on her cheeks. Her lips were rosy, and her brilliant smile held a hint of playful mischief.

’No doubt about it,’ he thought. ’This must be the cousin Chen Dongyuan was talking about—the one he said was so attractive, he’d make a move on her himself if he could!’

"You’re... Old Chen’s cousin?"

Gu Yizhou asked, snapping out of his daze.

"Old Chen?"

The girl paused for a moment before it clicked. She grinned and said, "Yes, I’m Chen Dongyuan’s cousin. My name is Fan Sisi. You must be Brother Yizhou, right?"

"Yeah, I’m Gu Yizhou, your cousin’s friend. He’s busy with work, so he asked me to come pick you up."

Gu Yizhou said.

"I know, Brother Yizhou."

Fan Sisi blinked, her tone playful. "My cousin already told me. He even sent me your picture and said the most handsome guy in the crowd after I came out of the station would be you. That’s how I recognized you at a glance, Brother Yizhou."

"Er..."

Gu Yizhou felt a little embarrassed hearing her say that.

"Haha..."

He could only manage an awkward yet polite laugh.

"Brother Yizhou, I didn’t expect you to be even more handsome in person than you are in your photo!"

"No wonder my cousin said that the most handsome man I’d see after leaving the station would be you. I didn’t believe him at the time, but now I think he was actually being modest."

"Hee hee hee..."

Fan Sisi, a natural extrovert, added with a giggle, "Oh, and Brother Yizhou, you can just call me Sisi, like my cousin does."

"Er... Little Sister Sisi, you’re exaggerating a bit, but thank you for the compliment!"

Though embarrassed, Gu Yizhou managed a smile. "And you’re very beautiful, too!"

...

While the two of them were talking, Yan Luoxi was sizing up Fan Sisi.

She looked at her face, then her legs, and finally, her gaze locked onto the girl’s chest...

Her eyes flew wide!

’A formidable D-class expert!’

She was instantly on high alert, as if facing a great enemy!

’This woman is actually on my level?’

’Or maybe even... a cut above me???’

Seeing the two of them hitting it off so well, Yan Luoxi felt a surge of displeasure!

"MROW~!"

She reached out a small paw, tugged on Gu Yizhou’s pant leg, and let out an indignant cry!

Hearing the meow, Fan Sisi’s attention was immediately drawn to the cat.

"Wow~"

"What a cute kitty!"

Her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed.

As she spoke, she walked over to Yan Luoxi and reached out to pick her up.

"MROW~!"

"HISS~!"

Seeing this, Yan Luoxi arched her back slightly and hissed at the girl.

’This woman actually wants to hold me?’

’Impossible!’

’There was absolutely no way Yan Luoxi would accept this!’

’Other than Gu Yizhou,’

’she wouldn’t let anyone else touch her, man or woman.’

Seeing how fierce Xiaobai was, Fan Sisi was startled.

She sheepishly withdrew her hands and even took a few steps back, afraid the cat would pounce and bite her.

"Xiaobai, behave!"

Gu Yizhou quickly said.

He was afraid Xiaobai would bite Chen Dongyuan’s cousin, which would be a real problem.

"Brother Yizhou, is this kitty yours?"

Fan Sisi asked.

"Yeah."

Gu Yizhou nodded. "Little Sister Sisi, Xiaobai is a one-person cat. She only recognizes me as her owner and doesn’t like being touched by others."

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s words, Yan Luoxi, who was on the ground, shot him a look of utter disdain.

’Only recognizes you?’

’You think I recognize that wretched dog smell on you?’

’Isn’t that just because you forced me?’

’You’ve touched me all over. What was I supposed to do?’

’No one else has touched me, and I’m not stupid. Of course I’m going to reject them!’

’And another thing!’

’What do you mean, you’re the owner?!’

’Damn man, get your role straight, would you?!’

’You’re just the pooper-scooper!’

’Even though I’ve never even let you scoop my poop!’

’Hmph!’

Yan Luoxi fumed silently, roasting him with utter contempt.

Fan Sisi
