Chapter 214: This... Could Xiaobai Really Be a Transformed Human?

Chapter 214: Chapter 214: This... Could Xiaobai Really Be a Transformed Human?

’Is this what they call the burden of a beautiful woman’s favor?’

Gu Yizhou shook his head helplessly.

He turned to the little white cat and said, "Xiaobai, I need to go take a shower. I have to get up early tomorrow for overtime at the company."

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s words, Yan Luoxi glanced at him.

’So that jerk actually remembered!’

When he hadn’t replied to her message this afternoon, Yan Luoxi had thought he didn’t want to work overtime and was deliberately ignoring her.

What she didn’t know was that Gu Yizhou had actually replied to her message long ago.

It was just that by then, she had already turned into a cat and arrived at apartment 305, so she was completely unaware.

"Hmmph?"

"Xiaobai, what’s with that look?"

"Do you also think it’s too much for your dad to work overtime on a weekend?"

Gu Yizhou reached out and tapped her little pink nose, smiling as he said, "What can I do? My life is hard when I’ve got a ’black-hearted’ capitalist for a boss!"

Of course, he was only joking when he said that.

She had just gifted him a luxury car worth millions. If that was considered black-hearted, then there were no kind bosses left in the world.

But Yan Luoxi had no idea he was joking!

She took him seriously!

At that moment, she stared at Gu Yizhou, completely speechless.

’Jerk.’

’You’re the black-hearted capitalist!’

’I just wanted to spend a little more time with you, okay?!’

’It’s not like I was asking you to do anything!’

’No, wait!’

’Jerk, since you called me a black-hearted capitalist, I’ll give you a mountain of work to do tomorrow.’

’I’ll work you to death!’

’Hmph!’

Yan Luoxi thought angrily.

Gu Yizhou, however, paid her no mind. He stood up and walked straight to the bedroom to get a change of clothes for his shower.

Seeing the jerk ignore her, Yan Luoxi angrily whipped her head to the side. She didn’t want to deal with that idiot anymore.

...

「Half an hour later.」

Gu Yizhou came out after his shower.

After drying his hair, he walked over to the sofa, planning to carry the kitten back to the bedroom, scroll through his phone for a bit, and then go to sleep.

After all, he had to get up early tomorrow, so pulling an all-nighter was out of the question.

"Xiaobai, let’s go lie down in the bedroom."

Gu Yizhou said to Yan Luoxi, who was curled up on the sofa.

Yan Luoxi heard his voice, lifted her eyelids to glance at him, and then ignored him.

’That’s right!’

’I’m still angry!’

’I don’t want to deal with this jerk at all.’

’After all, he’s the one who called me a black-hearted capitalist!’

"Er... Xiaobai, what’s wrong with you?"

Seeing Xiaobai giving him the cold shoulder, Gu Yizhou was a little confused.

’What’s wrong with me?’

’Don’t you have a damn clue what’s wrong with me?!’

Yan Luoxi thought irritably.

’Jerk.’

’Let me tell you!’

’I’m angry!’

’The kind of angry that can’t be coaxed away!’

’Hmph!’

Xiaobai’s sudden change in attitude left Gu Yizhou completely baffled.

He had no idea what was wrong with the kitten.

’Why is she suddenly in a bad mood?’

’Is she still mad about me knocking her onto the floor earlier?’

’No way, right?’

’That was ages ago.’

’And I already cheered her up.’

’Does she hold a grudge that long?!’

Gu Yizhou thought helplessly.

Shaking his head, Gu Yizhou had no choice but to go over, grab the kitten by the scruff of her neck, and lift her straight up.

"Alright, Xiaobai, don’t be angry anymore!"

"I really didn’t mean to knock you onto the floor earlier!"

"I just got caught up thinking about something and got excited, completely forgetting you were on my back. Don’t be mad, be good now~"

Gu Yizhou explained, holding the kitten in his arms.

He delivered this whole spiel without caring whether the kitten could understand him or not.

Holding her, he walked straight back to the bedroom.

Once they were in the bedroom,

Gu Yizhou was about to put the kitten on the bed.

But Yan Luoxi jumped out of his arms on her own, landing directly on the bed.

Then, she swaggered over to her usual sleeping spot and curled up without a second glance.

"Er..."

Gu Yizhou watched her, shaking his head helplessly. "You sure know how to pick a spot, you little thing!"

Yan Luoxi glanced up at him, having no intention of acknowledging him.

’Jerk.’

’You think I’m going to pay any attention to you?’

’Hmph!’

Yan Luoxi flicked her tail, then turned her head away and began to doze off on her own.

Seeing this, Gu Yizhou didn’t say anything more.

He pulled back the covers and lay down on the bed as well.

After he lay down, Yan Luoxi felt a wave of warmth wash over her.

She knew.

It was the scent that belonged uniquely to that jerk.

After playing on his phone for a while longer, it was already a little past midnight.

Thinking about how he had to get up early tomorrow, Gu Yizhou put his phone down and prepared to sleep.

"Goodnight, Xiaobai."

Plugging his phone in to charge, Gu Yizhou turned to the kitten beside him and spoke.

Yan Luoxi, who had been drifting off, was jolted wide awake by his voice.

"Meow?"

Her eyelid twitched. She really wanted to pounce on this damn guy and bite him to death.

But in the end, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

CLICK.

The light went out.

The entire bedroom was instantly plunged into darkness.

However, for Yan Luoxi in her cat form with its built-in "night vision," she could still see clearly.

She looked at the jerk lying beside her, his eyes already closed as he began to sleep.

Yan Luoxi’s gaze was complicated.

After a long moment of silence,

"Meow~"

she let out a soft cry.

’Jerk.’

’Goodnight.’

「Morning. 7 AM sharp.」

Gu Yizhou woke from his sleep.

After taking a moment to gather himself, he slowly sat up, willing himself to become more alert.

He glanced at the spot beside him, but Xiaobai was gone again.

’That little rascal Xiaobai, did she sneak out again?’

Gu Yizhou frowned, thinking to himself.

CLICK!

He got up and opened the bedroom door.

As soon as he walked into the living room, he saw Xiaobai sprawled on the sofa, her eyes half-closed.

The temperature had warmed up considerably today.

The early morning winter sun filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony.

Warm sunlight spilled over Yan Luoxi’s body.

"Er..."

The scene created a strange illusion for Gu Yizhou.

It was like watching a young maiden in a white chiffon dress basking in the sunlight, exuding a youthful fragrance.

’Honestly,’

Gu Yizhou always felt that Xiaobai’s behavior and gaze were sometimes just like a human’s.

Especially her eyes—he always had a sense of déjà vu.

’Could... could Xiaobai really be a person who transformed?’

At this thought, Gu Yizhou’s heart couldn’t help but flutter.

However,

Gu Yizhou quickly shook his head, snapping himself out of it.

’Xiaobai, a transformed human.’

’How is that even possible?!’

Sensing Gu Yizhou’s gaze on her,

Yan Luoxi turned her head for a glance, seeing that the jerk was awake.

After that one glance, she retracted her gaze, curled back into a ball, and tucked her head in as if going back to sleep.

Seeing this, Gu Yizhou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

’I was overthinking things.’

’How could such a cute kitten possibly be a transformed human!’

Shaking his head, Gu Yizhou walked straight towards her...
