Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Yan Luoxi: You Bastard, Don’t Die! I Didn’t Mean to Jinx You

Of course, Gu Yizhou had no idea what mischievous little thoughts were running through her head.

He placed Yan Luoxi on his lap and turned her over.

He checked her little paws one by one.

The cat’s four little paws were a rosy pink, looking incredibly cute.

They were also quite clean.

It looked like she really hadn’t snuck out today.

’Not bad, not bad!’

’She’s actually been very good!’

’Looks like my "training" sessions are finally starting to work.’

Gu Yizhou nodded, extremely satisfied.

’Maybe... I should try that "cat-training" game of fetch again?’

Gu Yizhou thought to himself.

He decided to act on it immediately.

He placed the cat on the floor and said, "Xiaobai, let’s play the fetch game again, okay?"

?

Yan Luoxi was rendered speechless.

’This jerk.’

’You’re at it again?!’

’Don’t even think about it.’

She silently walked over to the side, jumped onto the sofa, and lay down.

Gu Yizhou: "..."

"Come on, Xiaobai, humor me. Let’s just have one good game!"

he said helplessly.

"Meow?"

Yan Luoxi lifted her eyelids and shot him a glance, putting on an innocent expression.

’Jerk.’

’What are you talking about?’

’I don’t understand a word you’re saying.’

’I’m just an innocent little kitty who doesn’t understand anything. What bad intentions could I possibly have!’

Seeing this, Gu Yizhou gave up.

"Forget it!"

Gu Yizhou said with a look of resignation, "Xiaobai, you win!"

Hearing this,

’Hmph~’

’Of course!’

The corners of Yan Luoxi’s mouth couldn’t help but curve into a slight smile.

"I’m not getting takeout tonight. I’ll just make some dumplings!"

Gu Yizhou glanced at his phone, then said, "Xiaobai, Daddy will cook some chicken breast for you!"

"Meeow~!"

’I don’t want to eat chicken breast! It has no flavor, and it’s so dry and stringy!’

’Hey!’

’Jerk, can I have some shrimp?!’

Yan Luoxi cried out to Gu Yizhou, her meows a jumbled mess.

But all that came out was a series of meows.

Of course, Gu Yizhou couldn’t understand what she was saying. He just thought she was excited and wanted to eat the chicken breast right away.

"What a little glutton you are!"

Gu Yizhou reached out and poked the cat’s soft little belly, smiling as he soothed her, "Alright, Daddy’s going to cook your chicken breast now. Don’t be so impatient!"

Yan Luoxi: "..."

In a flash,

she felt a strange change in her soft little belly...

"Hah~!"

’Jerk.’

’Where do you think you’re putting your filthy paws!’

She cried out at Gu Yizhou, her voice a mix of shame and indignation.

Seeing her adorably fierce act, Gu Yizhou found it rather amusing.

He had no idea he’d just crossed a line. He just thought the cat was playing around with him and didn’t think anything of it.

"Alright, I’ll stop teasing you. Daddy’s going to make some food."

Gu Yizhou pulled his hand back, then got up and headed toward the kitchen.

"..."

Yan Luoxi watched his retreating back, a sense of powerlessness washing over her.

’This jerk.’

’He took advantage of me again!’

’There isn’t a single part of my body he hasn’t touched!’

’Boo hoo hoo...’

「Half an hour later.」

Gu Yizhou came out of the kitchen holding a plate of dumplings and a plate of chicken breast.

"Xiaobai, come and eat!"

He called out to the cat on the sofa.

Yan Luoxi was so comfortable lying on the sofa that she had almost fallen asleep.

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s voice, she lifted her eyelids to glance at him.

’Jerk.’

’Why are you yelling so loud?’

’I’m not deaf!’

She thought irritably.

When Xiaobai didn’t respond to his call, Gu Yizhou put the food down, walked over, and scooped her up from the sofa. He said with a smile, "Come on, Xiaobai, let’s eat first. You can sleep later."

Yan Luoxi: "...-_-||"

"Meeow~!"

She let out an irritated meow at Gu Yizhou.

’Fine, we’ll eat.’

’Jerk, can you please not carry me like this?’

’Do I have no dignity?!’

However, Gu Yizhou paid her no mind.

He carried her over to the dining table before finally placing her on a nearby chair.

"Here, Xiaobai, this is for you. Daddy already broke it into little pieces for you."

Gu Yizhou said to the cat, pointing at the plate of chicken breast on the table that he had broken into small pieces.

Yan Luoxi glanced at the chicken breast, then at the other plate of dumplings.

’I don’t want chicken breast, I want dumplings!’

"Er..."

Noticing Yan Luoxi’s gaze, Gu Yizhou said helplessly, "Xiaobai, stop looking. You can’t eat those. Be a good girl and eat your chicken breast!"

"Tch~"

’Cheapskate!’

’Fine, I won’t eat it then!’

Yan Luoxi huffed to herself.

But despite her thoughts, she knew Gu Yizhou was just looking out for her.

So she silently lowered her head and began to eat the chicken breast from her plate.

Seeing this, Gu Yizhou shook his head slightly and started on his own dumplings.

He had prepared two dipping sauces.

One was spicy, and the other was plain vinegar.

The steaming hot dumplings paired with the dipping sauce... The taste was absolutely divine!

Speaking of which, these dumplings were from a large batch his mom had made and left in his freezer during a previous visit.

Even though the dumplings had been frozen for a long time, they tasted just as good as ever.

As expected of "Mom’s Brand" dumplings!

The taste was completely different from the ones you could buy outside!

Watching Gu Yizhou dip his dumplings in sauce and eat with such greasy relish, Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but feel her lip twitch.

’Jerk.’

’You’re sure enjoying yourself!’

’Making me eat this completely flavorless chicken breast!’

’Why don’t you just choke to death, you bastard!’

’Hmph~!’

"COUGH COUGH COUGH..."

The thought had barely crossed her mind when Gu Yizhou, right next to her, started choking.

"Uh...(⊙o⊙)..."

Yan Luoxi froze.

’No way!’

’Did my words just get blessed or something?’

She stared at Gu Yizhou in shock.

He was still coughing, clearly choking badly.

’Oh no!’

’Jerk.’

’Are you okay?’

’Don’t you actually choke to death!’

’I was just talking nonsense!’

’Jinx, jinx, jinx!’

...

"COUGH COUGH COUGH..."

Still coughing, Gu Yizhou ran into the kitchen, poured a glass of warm water from the electric kettle, and gulped down more than half of it before he finally recovered.

"Phew..."

He let out a long sigh of relief.

’Damn it!’

’I almost choked to death on a dumpling.’

’Isn’t there a saying about not being able to eat hot tofu if you’re impatient?!’

’Looks like from now on, I’ll have to add a new line: you can’t eat hot dumplings if you’re impatient, either!’

Gu Yizhou was speechless with himself.

After taking another sip of water, Gu Yizhou finally walked out of the kitchen, glass in hand.

Meanwhile, Yan Luoxi had been keeping a close eye on Gu Yizhou.

She finally relaxed when she saw that he had stopped coughing.

This time, she didn’t dare to think such reckless thoughts again.

’What if I actually curse the jerk to death? What would I do then?!’

’I don’t want to live a life without this jerk!’

Gu Yizhou returned to the dining table and sat back down.

He noticed Xiaobai staring at him with what he took to be a very worried expression.

A warmth spread through his heart.

He reached out to stroke the cat’s little head and said with a smile, "Xiaobai, don’t worry, Daddy’s fine."

Yan Luoxi: "..."

’Whatever!’

’Seeing as I almost cursed you to death just now, I’ll let it slide.’

With that thought, she even nudged her little head toward the jerk, making it easier for him to pet her...
