Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Yan Luoxi’s Insincerity vs. Campus Belle Su Qianqian’s Initiative

The next morning, the first rays of dawn shone through the glass window, casting a slanted light across the bed.

RING RING— RING RING—

The sound of a phone alarm rang out. Gu Yizhou slowly opened his eyes, which were still filled with a bit of daze; he clearly wasn’t fully awake yet.

He rubbed his eyes, clearing his head a little, and reached for the fully charged phone on the bedside table, casually turning off the alarm.

After another moment, Gu Yizhou’s mind was completely clear. He lifted his phone to check the time and saw that it was already six-thirty in the morning.

Glancing to his side, he saw the little white cat lying quietly next to him.

That’s right!

Yan Luoxi had succeeded!

Last night, after being forcibly pulled onto the bed by Gu Yizhou to sleep, Yan Luoxi had fought hard to stay awake.

She held out until about four in the morning. Just as she was getting drowsy, that strange, peculiar feeling washed over her again. Yan Luoxi jolted awake in an instant.

She rallied her spirits, chanting inwardly, ’Don’t change, don’t change...’

Five minutes later.

She had succeeded!

Yan Luoxi was amazed to find that the strange sensation of an impending transformation had vanished without a trace. She was still in her cat form.

This successful test instantly gave Yan Luoxi a surge of confidence and hope. Since she could control changing from a cat back into a human, did that mean she could also control changing from a human back into a cat?

Yan Luoxi decided to test it again next time. If she could confirm that she could control both transformations, then things wouldn’t have to be so troublesome in the future!

"Huh?"

’Xiaobai didn’t sneak out today?’

Gu Yizhou was pleasantly surprised. He smiled at Xiaobai and said, "Morning, Xiaobai~"

Hearing his voice, Yan Luoxi lifted her eyelids to glance at him before looking away, completely ignoring him.

Seeing its aloof, indifferent attitude, Gu Yizhou didn’t mind.

He reached out and ruffled the little white cat’s small head, muttering to himself, "I still have to go back to school for rehearsal today. Time to get up!"

"Huh?"

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s words, Yan Luoxi was taken aback.

’Back to school for rehearsal?’

’This damn guy is going out again today?’

She gave Gu Yizhou a puzzled look.

At the same time, she secretly made up her mind. Later, when she turned back into a human, she would have someone look into what this jerk Gu Yizhou was rehearsing for at school.

Of course!

It wasn’t because she was concerned about Gu Yizhou; she was just purely curious!

Whether that damn guy lived or died had nothing to do with her, Yan Luoxi!

Mhm!

That’s right!

That’s exactly it!

Around eight in the morning, Gu Yizhou finished getting ready and prepared to leave.

"Xiaobai, I’m heading out! You be good and wait for me at home. I’ll buy something tasty tonight and give you an extra treat!"

At the doorway, Gu Yizhou spoke with a smile to the little white cat as he changed his shoes.

Yan Luoxi, sprawled on the sofa, didn’t even lift an eyelid, completely ignoring him.

Seeing this, Gu Yizhou shook his head helplessly.

"What a cool, silly little cat you are!"

He walked over to the little white cat, grabbed her by the paws, and flipped her over. Then, he gave her pink, tender belly a good squish before nodding in satisfaction. "Feels nice!"

"Meeeow~"

Ambushed by Gu Yizhou, Yan Luoxi let out a startled cry and then hissed at him!

Seeing that Xiaobai was angry, Gu Yizhou wasn’t bothered in the slightest. He picked up his backpack from the sofa and headed for the door.

This left Yan Luoxi standing on the sofa, caterwauling curses at his retreating back.

From her agitated state, one could only imagine her curses were quite nasty. However, Gu Yizhou was completely unconcerned.

After all, he couldn’t understand the language of cats.

’Besides, even if I could understand her, it wouldn’t matter. What could a little kitten possibly do to me?’

’All she can do is rage impotently.’

"BANG~!"

The door closed. Gu Yizhou was gone.

Once Gu Yizhou had left, Yan Luoxi’s stream of curses stopped. She leaped down from the sofa and hurried to the door, peeking through the small peephole to see if he was far away yet.

There was a simple reason for her haste!

The strange sensation that had disappeared earlier was now surging back. She had been suppressing it the whole time, terrified she would lose control and change back into a human right in front of Gu Yizhou. That would have been impossible to explain.

It’s coming!

It’s here!

That feeling is back again!

Yan Luoxi scrambled back onto the sofa and forcefully suppressed the ticklish sensation...

Modu University of Finance and Economics, inside the main auditorium.

"CLAP CLAP..."

"Alright, everyone, take a short break. In a little while, we’ll run through it again in performance order."

...

The teacher in charge of rehearsals for the school anniversary celebration announced to the group.

"RUSTLE~"

Hearing this, the students all moved to the side to start their break.

They had been rehearsing all morning and everyone was exhausted.

But compared to everyone else’s fatigue, Gu Yizhou felt fine.

Although he had already gone up to sing a few times, the intensity was manageable for him.

"Here, today’s milk tea."

Just as Gu Yizhou was resting, the campus belle, Su Qianqian, produced a cup of iced milk tea from behind her back and said to him with a grin.

"Er..."

As for this scene, everyone present was already used to it; it was no longer a surprise.

Still, they couldn’t help but feel a little sour inside, as if they’d just eaten a lemon.

That’s right!

The campus belle Su Qianqian had been there all morning, and everyone knew she was there for Gu Yizhou.

However, everyone was curious about their relationship, because they felt that Gu Yizhou’s attitude toward the campus belle Su Qianqian was a bit cold.

Gossip had circulated around campus before about the campus belle Su Qianqian pursuing the campus heartthrob Gu Yizhou, but it had never been confirmed.

Looking at the dynamic between them now, could it really be true?

The flames of gossip burned brightly in everyone’s hearts...

"Uh..."

Gu Yizhou was slightly taken aback by Su Qianqian suddenly producing two cups of iced milk tea as if by magic.

He subconsciously wanted to refuse.

However, when he saw the hopeful little expression on Su Qianqian’s face, he couldn’t bring himself to say no.

"Thank you."

He took the milk tea from Su Qianqian with a slight smile.

Seeing Gu Yizhou accept the drink, Su Qianqian’s face broke into a sweet smile.

"Yizhou, the song you just sang a cappella was beautiful!"

Su Qianqian took a sip of her own milk tea and said, "I looked it up online, but I couldn’t find it. Did you write that song yourself?"

"Uh..."

Gu Yizhou paused for a moment.

He thought for a second before replying, "You could... say that."
