Chapter 231: Yan Luoxi’s Curiosity, a Man of Mystery

Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Yan Luoxi’s Curiosity, a Man of Mystery

Seeing his cat giving him a disgusted look as it kept its distance, Gu Yizhou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

’As expected!’

’Luosifen really is just like durian!’

’People who love it can’t get enough, and those who don’t avoid it like the plague!’

Just now, Gu Yizhou had tried to go over and bring the cat back to the sofa.

But the moment he got close, the cat’s fur instantly stood on end.

It kept hissing at him.

Its expression was full of disdain.

This left him feeling quite helpless.

’This cat is practically human!’

’Forget it!’

’If she doesn’t want to be held, then so be it.’

’I’ll just let her stay out on the balcony for a bit.’

’Perfect. I can go cook the shrimp now.’

While he was halfway through his meal, the delivery guy had already dropped off the shrimp.

He had finished eating now, but the cat still hadn’t!

So he got up and went to the kitchen to start cooking the shrimp.

Cooking shrimp was actually quite simple.

Since cats can’t have salt or other seasonings, there was no need to add things like ginger or salt.

He just had to wash the shrimp and put them directly into the pot to boil.

「About ten minutes later.」

By the time Gu Yizhou finished cooking the shrimp, the smell of luosifen in the living room had mostly dissipated.

Although he still smelled faintly of it, it was very light and wasn’t a big deal.

"Xiaobai, the shrimp are ready! Come and eat!"

Gu Yizhou carried the shrimp over to the sofa, turned his head, and called out to Yan Luoxi, who was still curled up on the balcony.

Yan Luoxi glanced at him.

’I didn’t really want to eat.’

’But seeing that jerk go to all the trouble of cooking, it would be rude not to eat.’

After some thought, she got up and walked over.

Seeing how obedient she was, Gu Yizhou reached out and lifted her onto his lap.

Then he began to peel the shrimp one by one and feed them to her.

It was a bit of a hassle, but it couldn’t be helped.

’If a cat eats shrimp with the shell on, it’ll upset its stomach.’

Fortunately, Gu Yizhou hadn’t cooked too many.

He was done feeding her in no time.

Seeing Xiaobai’s previously flat little belly become round and full gave Gu Yizhou a strange sense of accomplishment.

’It’s good that she’s eating a lot!’

’If she eats more, she’ll get all chubby, which will be even cuter.’

’Though I love the current Xiaobai very much, too.’

’She’s still too skinny.’

’Cats are just cuter when they’re all soft and plump.’

"Alright, Xiaobai, go play for a bit. Daddy’s going to wash the dishes."

Gu Yizhou gently patted Yan Luoxi’s little head and said with a smile.

With that, he got up, took the bowl, and went back to the kitchen.

Yan Luoxi watched his retreating back and couldn’t help but purse her little lips.

’That jerk.’

’He didn’t even wash his hands before petting my head.’

’Seriously!’

But although she grumbled, she wasn’t the least bit angry in her heart.

’Sigh...’

’I ate so much shrimp again tonight.’

’I should walk around a bit.’

That’s right!

Yan Luoxi had actually been full for a while, but seeing Gu Yizhou continue to peel shrimp for her, she couldn’t bring herself to refuse.

So she forced herself to finish it all.

’Thankfully, you don’t get fat from eating too much shrimp, or I’d want to bite that damn jerk to death.’

...

「A few minutes later.」

Gu Yizhou finished cleaning up the kitchen and came out.

When Yan Luoxi saw the jerk emerge, she stopped pacing and returned to the sofa, quietly lying down next to Gu Yizhou.

’Busy all day.’

’After a full meal, petting my cat, and catching up on the news.’

’This is the life!’

’The only shame is...’

’...I have to go to work again tomorrow.’

’This weekend was missing a day. It feels incomplete!’

Gu Yizhou felt a little resigned.

But when he thought of that woman, Yan Luoxi, his feelings grew complicated.

’Does she really like me?’

’Why else would she be so good to me?’

But if he were to say she liked him, Gu Yizhou couldn’t find any reason why she would.

After all, they had only started interacting more recently. Before that, they were complete strangers!

This left Gu Yizhou utterly confused.

’It’s like I’ve wracked my brain but can’t get on top of... uh, anyway, I’m just really puzzled!’

’It’s all that damn Chen Dongyuan’s fault.’

’Right!’

’It’s all that freaking damn Chen Dongyuan’s fault!’

’If that jerk hadn’t run his mouth, I wouldn’t be overthinking this so much.’

The main problem was, he couldn’t exactly ask anyone else about it.

’Forget it!’

’So what if she likes me? It’s not like I have to like her back!’

’I’ll just let nature take its course.’

’Why am I even thinking about this?!’

’Time to pet my cat!’

...

Yan Luoxi, at this moment, had no idea what was going through Gu Yizhou’s mind.

She lay beside Gu Yizhou with her eyes closed, enjoying his massage service.

Before long, she started to feel a little drowsy.

She was on her period today, so she already wasn’t feeling well. On top of that, she hadn’t gotten a nap at noon, so it was only natural that she was tired.

Plus, she felt very safe next to the jerk. Once she relaxed, she naturally started to drift off.

Seeing her eyes half-closed as if she were about to fall asleep, Gu Yizhou gently shifted her closer, letting her back rest against his stomach.

"Xiaobai, are you sleepy?"

Gu Yizhou stroked her belly and said softly, "If you’re sleepy, go ahead and take a nap. Daddy will stay with you."

Feeling the warmth from Gu Yizhou’s large hand, Yan Luoxi felt like her period cramps weren’t so bad anymore.

She nuzzled Gu Yizhou’s hand with her little head, then closed her eyes and began to sleep...

In no time, she was fast asleep.

...

Yan Luoxi slept until around ten-thirty that night.

When she woke up, she found that Gu Yizhou was gone.

The TV was also turned off.

However, the sound of running water was coming from the bathroom.

’The jerk must be taking a shower.’

She stretched. After her nap, she felt much more refreshed.

"The most beautiful thing isn’t a rainy day, but the eaves under which we once took shelter from the rain..."

Just then, a singing voice drifted from the bathroom.

Yan Luoxi froze for a moment.

She subconsciously turned her little head to look in that direction.

’What song is this?’

’It’s quite nice,’ Yan Luoxi thought to herself.

She knew that Gu Yizhou was a good singer.

She had heard him sing long ago. (Friendly reminder: if you don’t recall, you can check the earlier Chapters.) Back then, she couldn’t understand the language he was singing and was very curious.

Later, she also heard the song Gu Yizhou sang at the school’s anniversary gala.

Yan Luoxi still remembered how Gu Yizhou had caused quite a sensation back then, creating a huge buzz!

At the time, she had even thought Gu Yizhou would quit his job to pursue a career in the entertainment industry!

But to her surprise, the guy just played dead. He refused all interviews, and after hiding out for a while, the hype slowly died down, and he continued working at the company.

In fact, Yan Luoxi was still very curious to this day.

’Why didn’t that jerk choose to enter the entertainment industry back then?’

’The entertainment industry might be a cesspool, but the money is fast!’

’I guess Gu Yizhou’s ambitions just don’t lie in show business.’

’But still!’

’Then again, it makes sense.’

’With the abilities that jerk has shown so far, making money is actually very easy for him. He doesn’t need to enter the entertainment industry and play along with those people.’

To be honest, when it came to experience and perspective, Yan Luoxi’s were considered quite broad.

But among all the people Yan Luoxi knew or had met, there was truly no one who could compare to Gu Yizhou.

’That jerk.’

’He really is an enigma of a man...’
