Chapter 244: Yan Luoxi’s Heart Softens? You Dog, I’ll Play Your Game Twice

Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Yan Luoxi’s Heart Softens? You Dog, I’ll Play Your Game Twice

Seriously.

’The more I look at this damn man, the handsomer he gets!’

’How can anyone be this handsome!’

’As expected of the man I like.’

Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but think.

...

Gu Yizhou put down his phone and said, "Xiaobai, Daddy’s not going to cook shrimp for you today. It’s not good to eat shrimp every day; you need to eat some cat food. It’s better for your health."

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but purse her lips.

’This damn man.’

’If cat food is so good for you, why don’t you eat some?’

’If I could talk right now, I’d definitely point at Gu Yizhou’s nose and chew him out for a few minutes straight.’

’Seriously.’

Of course, Gu Yizhou had no idea.

He casually tossed the empty tissue box from the table.

"Here, Xiaobai, go get the tissue box."

Gu Yizhou said to the little white cat beside him.

Yan Luoxi: "..."

’This damn man.’

’You’re doing this again?!’

’Are you nuts!’

’You’re getting addicted to this, aren’t you!’

She was utterly speechless.

She shot Gu Yizhou a glance, having no intention of humoring him.

"Go on, Xiaobai."

"Be a good girl~"

Gu Yizhou said softly, his voice gentle.

Seeing the gentle look on Gu Yizhou’s face, Yan Luoxi started to soften again.

’He’s just a big kid who likes to play.’

’What bad intentions could he possibly have?’

’Sigh~’

’Fine.’

’I guess I’ll play with you just this once.’

Yan Luoxi sighed helplessly, then jumped down from the sofa, ran over, and brought the tissue box back in her mouth.

"Good job!"

Gu Yizhou smiled and patted Yan Luoxi’s little head.

Being praised by this damn man made Yan Luoxi a little happy inside.

She rarely cared about what other people thought of her, not even her own mom and dad.

But!

Gu Yizhou was different.

A single compliment from him filled Yan Luoxi’s heart with delight.

"Again!"

"Xiaobai, let’s play one more time."

Gu Yizhou tossed the tissue box again.

Yan Luoxi was speechless but still played along, running over to fetch it once more.

’Alright.’

’Damn man.’

’I’ve played with you twice, that’s enough. If you throw it again, I’m not getting it for you.’

’And it won’t matter even if you try to act all cute!’

She shot Gu Yizhou a look, thinking irritably.

Gu Yizhou, of course, had no idea. He threw the tissue box in his hand one more time.

Seeing this, Yan Luoxi decided she was really done humoring him this time.

She jumped onto the sofa and lay down.

"Uh..."

This time, Gu Yizhou finally got the message.

With a helpless look, he poked Yan Luoxi’s little pink nose. "You little lazy cat, you’re tired after just two rounds?"

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

’Pah!’

’Damn man, you’re not the one running to get it!’

’Easy for you to say!’

Yan Luoxi griped internally.

However, even though Gu Yizhou said that, he didn’t force her to keep playing.

...

「Eight o’clock in the evening.」

The hot pot Gu Yizhou had ordered for delivery arrived.

Because it was the dinner rush, the delivery was a little late.

The delivery guy kept apologizing to Gu Yizhou.

Gu Yizhou didn’t mind, though.

After saying, "No problem," he let the delivery guy go and even gave him a five-star rating.

It was simple, really.

Life was already hard enough; there was no need to make things difficult for others.

After taking all the delivery food out of the bags,

he saw the portion sizes were quite generous—though he wasn’t sure if that was because he had ordered an extra serving of beef.

After washing the pot and setting it up,

Gu Yizhou nodded in satisfaction.

Boil the water, add the meat.

His movements were fluid and practiced.

Yan Luoxi watched this damn man’s smug look and couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Before long,

the aroma of beef tallow hot pot filled the entire room.

Yan Luoxi’s mouth started to water.

She pushed herself up and walked over to Gu Yizhou.

"Hey."

"Xiaobai, what are you doing over here?"

Gu Yizhou asked when he noticed her.

Yan Luoxi didn’t look at him, simply staring intently at the beef bubbling and steaming in the pot.

"Uh..."

Gu Yizhou paused for a moment, then asked, "Xiaobai, you want some too?"

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi finally glanced at him.

"Meow~!"

Yan Luoxi cried out to him.

The meaning was obvious: she wanted to eat.

How could Gu Yizhou not understand what she meant?

He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "But this is spicy and seasoned. You can’t eat it!"

"Meeoow~!"

’This damn man.’

’I can eat it!’

Yan Luoxi meowed insistently.

But no matter how much she cried, Gu Yizhou wouldn’t give her any.

It wasn’t that he was being stingy; cats really couldn’t eat this kind of food.

If she ate it and felt sick later, he’d have to take her to the vet.

It would cost money, and the cat would suffer.

Why go through all that trouble?

"If you’re hungry, go eat some cat food."

"I’ve already put out a fresh bowl for you."

Gu Yizhou said, patting her little head.

Yan Luoxi: "..."

Seeing that this damn guy absolutely refused to give her any,

Yan Luoxi gave up the struggle.

"HISS~!!"

She bared her teeth at Gu Yizhou angrily, then turned and stomped away in a huff.

’This damn man.’

’Stingy jerk!’

She grumbled as she walked toward the bedroom. Out of sight, out of mind!

She didn’t want to deal with this damn guy anymore.

Back in the room,

Yan Luoxi first vented her anger by stomping all over Gu Yizhou’s pillow.

’Damn man,’

’Take that for being so stingy! Take that for not giving me any food...’

she cursed internally as she stomped.

After venting for a while,

she got tired.

Yan Luoxi plopped right down on the damn man’s pillow.

"Damn man..."

She closed her eyes, still muttering under her breath.

「An hour later.」

Gu Yizhou had finished his hot pot and cleaned up the trash.

He hadn’t finished everything.

There were still a lot of vegetables left.

As for the meat, he had polished off almost all of it.

Indeed!

Every man is a carnivore at heart.

However, Gu Yizhou didn’t throw away the leftovers. Instead, he packed them all up and put them in the fridge.

Even though he wasn’t short on money now, wasting was shameful.

All of this was still edible; throwing it away was out of the question.

He couldn’t bring himself to do something like that.

After washing his hands, Gu Yizhou remembered that the cat had run off somewhere after getting angry.

So, he started to look for her.

"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, where did you run off to?"

Gu Yizhou called out as he searched.

No response.

Gu Yizhou couldn’t help but frown slightly.

He had a vague impression that Xiaobai had run into the bedroom.

So he headed toward the bedroom.

As soon as he walked into the bedroom, Gu Yizhou saw the cat sprawled out on his pillow, fast asleep.

"Uh..."

Looking at the cat with her mouth slightly agape, constantly letting out little "PURRRR" sounds, and then at the messy blanket beside her, Gu Yizhou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

He shook his head slightly.

"What a little rascal!"

Gu Yizhou said helplessly.

With that, he walked over to her...
