Chapter 229: A Born Rebel, Yan Luoxi?

Chapter 229: Chapter 229: A Born Rebel, Yan Luoxi?

’This jerk. He didn’t crack a single smile when he was with me today.’

’But now that he’s home, he won’t stop smiling at a cat.’

If Gu Yizhou knew what she was thinking right now, he’d definitely be shouting, ’What the hell?!’

’I’m jealous of myself???’

’Ice Xi, you’re really something else!’

...

Of course.

Gu Yizhou was naturally unaware of Yan Luoxi’s inner thoughts.

At that moment, he was agonizing over what to order for takeout.

Gu Yizhou scrolled a few times.

He realized he’d basically ordered from every takeout place in the area at least once.

For a moment, he really had no idea what to eat.

’I’ve always been so decisive, yet here I am, worrying about what takeout to get.’

Gu Yizhou shook his head with a self-deprecating laugh.

Hmm?

Suddenly!

He saw that a newly opened noodle soup shop was actually selling luosifen.

Luosifen was said to be a specialty dish from Gu Province.

The kind that smells stinky but tastes amazing.

Gu Yizhou glanced at the picture of the luosifen, with its fiery red chili broth, and couldn’t help but swallow.

"Alright!"

"This is it!"

Without hesitation, Gu Yizhou placed the order.

"Huh?"

"Zhe’ergen?"

"Do people in Gu Province eat zhe’ergen too?"

Gu Yizhou was a little surprised.

If he remembered correctly, zhe’ergen was generally more popular in Guizhou Province and Yun Province.

Gu Yizhou had tried it before when he was traveling.

The first time he ate it, he almost spat it right back out.

But after eating it a few more times, Gu Yizhou found that he had, miraculously, started to get used to it.

By the end of his trip, he could fully accept it and even thought it tasted pretty good.

But honestly, the fishy taste of zhe’ergen was something most people really couldn’t handle.

Gu Yizhou shook his head and added the cold-dressed zhe’ergen side dish to his order.

’Luosifen with zhe’ergen.’

’What a divine combination!’

’Amazing!’

Taking another look, Gu Yizhou also ordered one of each of the shop’s specialty side dishes that went with luosifen, like fried pig’s feet and fried eggs.

The noodles were fifteen yuan, and the side dishes were sixty.

’Am I eating noodles or just the toppings?!’

’The owner is probably going to laugh when they see my order.’

However!

Eating it this way would definitely be incredibly satisfying.

’And satisfaction is all that matters!’

Besides, it wasn’t like Gu Yizhou was short on cash.

After ordering his own takeout,

Gu Yizhou also placed a delivery request from a nearby wet market, asking the courier to help him buy some fresh, live shrimp.

The shrimp, of course, were for Xiaobai.

After placing the orders,

all he had to do was wait for the delivery guys to arrive.

’Total spending for today: one hundred and sixty-five yuan...’

’No, wait!’

’Damn it, I almost forgot I paid for the pork stomach and chicken soup at lunch today too.’

’I haven’t gotten reimbursed by that woman, Yan Luoxi, for that yet.’

’Adding the lunch, today’s total spending is six hundred and eighty-five yuan!’

’This won’t do!’

’I have to get her to reimburse me.’

He was a man of action.

Gu Yizhou immediately found Yan Luoxi’s WeChat, pulled a receipt from his pocket, took a picture of it, and sent it to her.

Meanwhile, Yan Luoxi herself was watching this jerk’s ridiculous move with her own eyes.

That’s right!

Yan Luoxi was lying on his chest, watching Gu Yizhou order takeout. She saw him finish, mumble a few words, then pull out a receipt, snap a picture, and send it to her own WeChat.

’This jerk.’

’Are you serious?’

’You have the nerve to ask me for a few hundred yuan?’

Yan Luoxi was completely speechless.

’What a cheapskate!’

’So stingy!’

She couldn’t help but butt her little head against Gu Yizhou’s stomach!

’This jerk is going to be the death of this cat!’

But since she was just a cat, her headbutts felt more like a massage.

Gu Yizhou looked down at her.

"Oh?"

"Xiaobai, do you know Daddy’s tired after working overtime all day? Are you trying to give me a massage?"

Gu Yizhou paused for a second, then said with a laugh, "Here, use a little more force!"

Yan Luoxi: "..."

In that moment,

Yan Luoxi suddenly had the urge to pounce on this jerk and bite him to death.

’Seriously!’

’He’s infuriating this cat to death!!!’

...

However, Gu Yizhou’s next words instantly softened her.

"Xiaobai, did you miss Daddy while you were home alone today?"

Gu Yizhou looked at the little cat in his arms and said softly, "Let me tell you, Daddy was thinking about you all day long."

"Meow~"

’Jerk.’

’I didn’t miss you at all!’

’Hmph!’

Yan Luoxi meowed at him, her thoughts defiant.

She had been with Gu Yizhou all day, so saying she missed him felt a little strange.

But to say she didn’t... she really had missed him while she was waiting for him to come home.

Yan Luoxi didn’t know how to describe it.

And!

Today, her period had suddenly started, and she just so happened to be out of pads.

And Gu Yizhou had witnessed the whole embarrassing scene.

’Sigh...’

’Why is it that every time I embarrass myself, it’s always in front of this jerk?’

Yan Luoxi couldn’t figure it out herself.

Seeing the little cat staring at him without reacting, Gu Yizhou just smiled and didn’t think much of it.

After a moment’s thought,

he picked up a pen from the table and threw it toward the TV.

Then he said to the cat, "Come on, Xiaobai, go fetch that pen for Daddy."

"?"

A question mark slowly formed on Yan Luoxi’s face.

’This jerk.’

’Are you out of your mind?!’

’Again?!’

’I played along with you once, and that was that!’

’You want to do it again?!’

’Impossible!’

’Absolutely not!’

’You could beat me to death, and I still wouldn’t go get it this time.’

’If I actually went and fetched it, wouldn’t that be admitting this jerk is my master?!’

’This is a matter of principle!’

’Does the great CEO of Tidal Group have no dignity?!’

...

"Xiaobai, don’t just stare at me. Go on, get the pen."

Gu Yizhou encouraged the cat, "Come on, you can do it!"

That’s right!

Gu Yizhou hadn’t given up yet.

He felt that since Xiaobai was so smart, with a little more training, she’d be able to play all sorts of games with him in the future.

Yan Luoxi: "..."

She was completely and utterly speechless.

’What an idiot!’

’This jerk.’

’If you want it fetched, go fetch it yourself!’

’I’m not going!’

’I’m still having period cramps!’

’And this jerk is still trying to provoke me.’

She was so angry she forgot about the pain!

’If I could!’

’I’d really bite this bastard to death!’

’He’s just so infuriating!’

Seeing Xiaobai completely ignore him with an indifferent look, Gu Yizhou felt a little helpless.

’This silly little cat is perfect in every way, except she’s just too rebellious sometimes!’

’Sure enough!’

’People on the internet all say cats are born rebellious!’

’It seems to be true!’

Gu Yizhou shook his head helplessly.

"Xiaobai!"

"Since you won’t play with Daddy, then let Daddy nuzzle you a bit!"

Gu Yizhou scooped her up, brought his face close, and started nuzzling her!

"..."

Yan Luoxi squinted, speechless, but didn’t resist.

’Fine!’

’On account of you helping me buy pads this morning, I’ll let you get a couple of sniffs.’
