Chapter 31: The Mouth Says No, but the Body Is Honest

Chapter 31: Chapter 31: The Mouth Says No, but the Body Is Honest

After Gu Yizhou finished eating and cleaned up the trash, he squatted down and peeked under the sofa. He found that the little white cat was already asleep under there.

Her body, pure white without a single stray hair, rose and fell with each breath. With her round little face, she looked absolutely adorable!

’What a sleepy little goofball,’

Gu Yizhou smiled and shook his head.

After a moment’s thought, he picked up a cat treat pouch from the table and walked over to the balcony. He squeezed the treat into the cat food so that when Xiaobai woke up hungry, she could eat right away.

Once he was done, Gu Yizhou lay down on the sofa to close his eyes and take a nap.

Gu Yizhou was so exhausted that he quickly fell asleep on the sofa.

An unknown amount of time passed before Yan Luoxi woke from her slumber.

RUMBLE... RUMBLE...

A wave of hunger washed over her.

Yan Luoxi felt that if she didn’t eat something soon, she was going to literally starve to death!

She scrambled out from under the sofa.

"Huh?"

’Has that detestable jerk left?’

Yan Luoxi looked around in confusion.

Then, she looked up and was suddenly startled.

"Meow~"

’Holy crap... you scared the cat out of me... Pfft! You nearly scared me to death!’

’What a rotten bastard!’

Yan Luoxi cursed under her breath.

But all that came out was a series of meows.

Yan Luoxi meowed at Gu Yizhou for a long time.

But Gu Yizhou was dead to the world and didn’t hear a thing.

’Ugh... he’s sleeping like a log! A dead one at that!’

Yan Luoxi shook her paw at Gu Yizhou with a look of utter disdain.

She had originally wanted to give him the middle finger, but she realized the maneuver was too difficult for a paw and gave up.

RUMBLE...

Yan Luoxi’s cat-stomach rumbled again.

She was just too hungry.

’What should I do?’

’I can’t stand this hunger anymore!’

Yan Luoxi lay sprawled on the floor, all her previous composure gone.

Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she spotted the cat food on the balcony.

’Maybe... just one tiny bite?’

Yan Luoxi mused.

’Eat it. Don’t eat it. Eat it. No, you don’t want to. Eat it. No, you want to...’

After wrestling with herself for a while, she first glanced up at Gu Yizhou on the sofa and saw that he was still fast asleep...

’In that case...’

’If I just sneak a bite or two, no one will notice, right?’

After another glance at Gu Yizhou, she made her decision: she would eat!

’I can’t just let myself starve to death!’

’Besides, this is for the cat, Mao Xiaobai, to eat. What does that have to do with me, Yan Luoxi?!’

Decision made, action taken!

Yan Luoxi strutted over to the balcony with a sexy catwalk, moving stealthily. She was so cautious, she looked like a little thief!

"Ew..."

Staring at the cat treat paste mixed into the kibble, Yan Luoxi thought with disgust, ’What is this gooey stuff?’

’Could it be... poop?!’

SNIFF, SNIFF!

She stuck her nose out and took a few sniffs.

"Hmm?"

’It actually smells... pretty good???’

’I’m done for! There must be something wrong with me, isn’t there?’

’Why on earth would I think this stuff smells good?!’

Yan Luoxi began to question her own sanity.

But then, on second thought, it dawned on her!

’I’m a cat now!’

’As a cat, it’s only natural to think cat food and treats smell delicious.’

’Mhm!’

’This is normal.’

’There’s nothing wrong with me!’

GRRROWL—

Just as she was thinking this, her stomach protested again!

"Argh!"

’Forget it, I’ll just have one tiny bite!’

Yan Luoxi consoled herself again. ’Mhm... right, just one little bite. I definitely won’t have any more!’

No more hesitation!

She picked up a piece of kibble coated in the treat paste and popped it into her mouth.

"Mm?"

Yan Luoxi’s eyes instantly lit up!

’Holy crap...’

’This is actually pretty good!!!’

GULP~

She gave the kibble a couple of cursory chews before swallowing it down.

’Ugh... how am I still a little hungry?’

’Maybe... I’ll have just one more little bite?’

The moment the thought appeared, her little head unconsciously dove back into the food bowl, and she began to gobble it all up!

And sure enough!

Women, am I right?

The mouth says no, but the body is very honest!

In the end, Yan Luoxi still couldn’t escape the inevitable: she was eating her words, and they were delicious!

She blissfully devoured the kibble, which was completely coated in the treat paste.

All the while, she didn’t forget to occasionally glance up toward the sofa where Gu Yizhou was.

So delicious!

The more she ate, the more addicted she became.

Gradually, she became lost in the experience, unable to pull herself away!

Just then, Gu Yizhou woke up.

He rubbed his eyes and sat up on the sofa.

The moment he sat up, he saw Xiaobai on the balcony, crunching away at her food.

’This silly little cat, honestly!’

’But really, this silly little cat I found is just adorable. Even the way she eats is cute!’

Because she was eating so hastily, Yan Luoxi had gotten the treat paste all over her little whiskers.

"Hahaha..."

Seeing this, Gu Yizhou couldn’t help but let out a laugh that sounded like a pig’s snort!

His laughter instantly snapped Yan Luoxi out of her food-crazed state. Her movements froze, and she turned her head to see that bastard Gu Yizhou looking at her mockingly, roaring with laughter.

"MROW!!"

Yan Luoxi’s fur stood on end in an instant!

’Damn it!’

’This stinking jerk caught me in an embarrassing moment again!’

’Ahhh!!!’

’This is a textbook case of social suicide!’

"HISSS~!!!"

Yan Luoxi snarled at Gu Yizhou, then, quick as a flash, she darted under the sofa!

She was mortified and shut down completely...

"Hahaha..."

"What a cute little thing!"

Gu Yizhou was thoroughly amused by Xiaobai’s antics.

"Meow~"

’Cute???’

’You’re cute! Your whole family is cute!’

’How dare that jerk laugh at me!’

’You bastard, you’re done for!’

’You’re fired!’

’I’m firing you tomorrow!’

Lying under the sofa, Yan Luoxi heard Gu Yizhou’s words and began cursing him out in her head.

Unfortunately for her, no matter how she cursed, Gu Yizhou couldn’t understand her cat-speak. In fact, he just found her even more adorable!

Seeing her hide under the sofa again, Gu Yizhou left her be.

He glanced at the clock on the wall and saw it was already 9:30 PM.

Which meant he had been asleep for about two hours.

Shaking his head, Gu Yizhou got up to take a shower. He didn’t have work tomorrow, but he still had to go to campus for something, so he couldn’t go to bed too late.

Just as Gu Yizhou got up and went to his room to grab clothes for his shower,

Yan Luoxi, still hiding, stealthily poked her little head out from under the sofa to take a peek.

SPLASH—

Hearing the sound of running water from the bathroom, Yan Luoxi knew that bastard Gu Yizhou must have gone to take a shower.

So, she scrambled out from under the sofa, hopped up onto it, and settled down comfortably, tucking her little paws underneath her...
