Chapter 212: Chapter 212: A Confession, Gu Yizhou’s Troubles

’This jerk.’

’You’re doing it again?!’

Yan Luoxi stared at Gu Yizhou, speechless.

"Go on, Xiaobai."

Gu Yizhou gave her an encouraging and expectant look. "Go help Daddy fetch the pen."

Seeing the anticipation in his eyes, Yan Luoxi hesitated.

’Fine!’

’Since that jerk treated me to hot pot the other day, I’ll play along just this once.’

Yan Luoxi hopped off his lap, silently padded over, lowered her head, and picked up the pen in her mouth.

Then, to Gu Yizhou’s satisfied smile, she walked back.

"Good job!"

Gu Yizhou took the pen from her mouth, smiling as he patted her little head. "I knew it, Xiaobai! You’re so smart. There’s no way you wouldn’t know how to fetch!"

"..."

Yan Luoxi had nothing to say.

She shot Gu Yizhou a look before turning her head away.

"Come on, Xiaobai. Let’s play again."

As he spoke, Gu Yizhou tossed the pen a short distance away again.

Yan Luoxi: "??????"

’Enough!’

’This jerk! You’re doing it again?!’

’Don’t even think about it!’

There was absolutely no way Yan Luoxi was going to fetch it this time.

’Is this bastard really training me like a pet?!’

’Don’t I, the distinguished CEO of Tidal Group, have any dignity?!’

Yan Luoxi was about to explode with rage.

"Uh..."

Seeing that the cat wasn’t moving, Gu Yizhou felt a little awkward.

’What the heck?’

’She doesn’t understand again?’

’No way...’

’She understood just a moment ago!’

’Xiaobai probably just doesn’t want to play this game anymore.’

Gu Yizhou glanced at the cat and shook his head helplessly. "Alright, Xiaobai. If you don’t want to play anymore, we’ll stop!"

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi gave him a surprised look.

’This jerk is being this reasonable?’

Just as she was thinking this, Gu Yizhou reached out and scooped her up.

Before Yan Luoxi could react, she heard Gu Yizhou continue, "Since you don’t want to play, then come here and let Daddy get a couple of huffs."

A moment later, a huge face buried itself in her belly.

"SNIFF..."

"HAAAAH..."

Gu Yizhou took a deep huff and muttered to himself, "Soooo good!"

Yan Luoxi: "..."

Her big, round eyes stared blankly, filled with utter despair.

Only after he’d had his fill of cat-huffing did Gu Yizhou lift his head in satisfaction.

He saw that the silly little cat now looked as if she had lost the will to live.

He froze.

"Hey, is Xiaobai mad?"

"Don’t be so stingy!"

"I just took a couple of huffs. Big deal! Daddy will let you huff me back if you want!"

Gu Yizhou said, poking Xiaobai’s soft, pink belly.

Yan Luoxi: "..."

She was furious!

In an instant, she struggled out of Gu Yizhou’s embrace and scrambled away.

She couldn’t take it anymore!

’What do you mean, *I’m* stingy??’

’What do you mean, "big deal, I’ll let you huff me back"?!’

’Look at this!’

’Is that something a human being would even say?!’

’Who would want to huff you?!’

’You reek, you stinky brute!’

’You smell like a dog!’

Yan Luoxi charged headfirst into Gu Yizhou’s chest!

She unsheathed her little claws, ready to give Gu Yizhou a few good swipes!

But!

Just as her paws were about to land, she retracted her sharp claws!

It turned into kneading instead.

But how much force could a tiny cat possibly have?

Her kneading felt more like a massage to Gu Yizhou.

Gu Yizhou had been startled by Yan Luoxi’s sudden outburst.

But it turned out she was just kneading him!

Gu Yizhou gently held her in his arms.

He took the opportunity to lie down on the sofa.

"Go on, Xiaobai. Knead as hard as you can!"

"I’ve been a little tired lately, so this is perfect!"

Gu Yizhou said with a smile.

Yan Luoxi: "..."

Her paws froze in mid-air.

’Gu Yizhou, you really are a piece of work!’

’Could you please act like a human being?’

’Is this something a person would do?!’

’You’re lucky I haven’t mauled you to death, and now you want me to give you a massage???’

Yan Luoxi was truly about to explode with rage!

However, as she looked at Gu Yizhou’s closed eyes, she noticed the faint trace of exhaustion that creased his brow. And she could smell the faint scent of alcohol on him.

Yan Luoxi’s paws paused for a moment.

’This jerk.’

’He really does seem tired!’

As she watched him...

Yan Luoxi’s heart softened.

’Sigh...’

’Fine!’

’I’ll just consider this me paying off my debt to you!’

She leaped onto Gu Yizhou’s shoulders and began to knead with all her might!

As for her sharp claws, she was careful to keep them retracted.

She was afraid she might accidentally scratch Gu Yizhou.

"Mmm~"

"So comfortable..."

Gu Yizhou sighed.

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s words, Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but want to roll her eyes.

After a little while, Gu Yizhou suddenly spoke, his eyes half-closed. "Xiaobai, I’m rolling over. Knead my back for me!"

Yan Luoxi: "..."

’Son of a bitch!’

’I’m just a cat!’

’Are you really treating me like a massage therapist from a spa?!’

Yan Luoxi was so mad she wanted to smack him right across the face!

But by now, Gu Yizhou had already rolled over, lying facedown on the sofa with his back to her.

"Come on, Xiaobai. Keep kneading!"

Gu Yizhou said lazily.

"..."

Seeing him like this, Yan Luoxi felt helpless against him.

She had no choice but to hop onto his back.

’I’ll knead you... knead... knead you flat!’

’Hmph!’

Yan Luoxi cursed inwardly.

But her paws didn’t stop moving for a second. A classic case of saying one thing and doing another.

Gu Yizhou, of course, was oblivious to all of this.

With his eyes closed, he silently enjoyed the services of his merciless massage machine—Technician Yan.

His mind, however, was on other things.

「Today.」

He had indeed drunk quite a bit.

But not enough to get drunk.

However, that wasn’t the source of his troubles.

The source of his troubles was that he had been confessed to again today...

Why "again," you ask?

Because over the years, he’d been confessed to countless times.

He was used to it by now.

It couldn’t be helped.

Who could blame them when he had a face so handsome it appealed to all ages?

If being handsome were a sin, he would have committed a mortal one long ago.

Okay.

That was a bit narcissistic.

But he was handsome, and he knew it.

What could he do?

Handsome was handsome. It was a fact, after all.

He couldn’t just go against his conscience and pretend he wasn’t handsome, could he?

He really couldn’t bring himself to do that.

Er... he was getting off topic.

The confession.

Right, he’d been confessed to today.

And by his good friend’s cousin, no less.

To be honest, he had been pretty shocked at the time.

After all, he’d only met Fan Sisi a handful of times.

He never expected that that damn Chen Dongyuan’s words would come true.

The guy hadn’t even started playing matchmaker yet, and his cousin had already fallen for him on her own.

This left Gu Yizhou speechless.

But... in the end, he had still rejected Fan Sisi’s confession.

It wasn’t that Fan Sisi wasn’t beautiful enough.

In terms of looks, Fan Sisi was definitely a 90 out of 100 or higher. Among all the people he knew, the only one who could compete with her was the campus belle, Su Qianqian.

No, that’s not right.

There was also... her.
