Chapter 47: Chapter 47: The School Belle Is Coming to Gu Yizhou’s House? Yan Luoxi: You Jerk, Trying to Starve Me to Death?

That’s right!

The song Gu Yizhou planned to sing at the university anniversary celebration wasn’t from this world. It was a song he quite liked from his past life on Earth.

Of course, he hadn’t written the song himself, but there was no way to explain that to Su Qianqian. So, he had to shamelessly claim he wrote it.

’I don’t want to do this either!’

’I can’t help it!’

’What choice do I have?’

’I can’t just say it was written by so-and-so from another world, can I?’

Gu Yizhou shook his head, thinking to himself.

"Wow~"

"Yizhou, I had no idea you could write your own songs!"

Su Qianqian said with some surprise upon hearing Gu Yizhou’s words.

The more she learned about him, the more she realized the boy in front of her was even more amazing than she thought!

’He really is the man I like, after all!’

’He’s just that great!’

Su Qianqian’s big, beautiful eyes lit up in an instant, a twinkle of starlight flashing within them...

"Heh heh..."

Gu Yizhou didn’t want to get tangled up in this topic, so he just smiled without offering any further explanation.

"Yizhou, I just heard from Teacher Chen, the one in charge of rehearsals, that you don’t have to rehearse this afternoon. Is that right?"

Su Qianqian continued.

"I think so."

Gu Yizhou took a sip of his iced milk tea, then nodded and replied casually.

"Then... are you free this afternoon?"

Su Qianqian asked hesitantly.

"Huh?"

Gu Yizhou froze for a moment.

Seeing his confused expression, Su Qianqian’s face turned a faint red as she said, "A friend gave me two movie tickets, and I was thinking... if you’re free, we could go together."

"Er..."

Hearing Su Qianqian’s words, Gu Yizhou finally snapped back to his senses.

He thought about it, but decided to refuse.

"Um... I’m sorry, but I don’t think I have time. I have to look after my kitten. I don’t know what’s wrong with her these past few days, but she’s been in low spirits and won’t eat her cat food."

Gu Yizhou said, a little awkwardly.

The main reason, really, was that he didn’t really want to go out with Su Qianqian, afraid it would be awkward.

"Oh?"

Su Qianqian’s eyes lit up. "Yizhou, you have a kitten at home!"

She absolutely loved kittens, but unfortunately, she was still living at the school, and pets weren’t allowed in the dorms.

"Yeah."

Gu Yizhou nodded. "I found her in a parking lot a while ago. She looked so pitiful, so I took her home and adopted her."

"Wow~"

"Yizhou, you’re so kind-hearted."

"Um... I love kittens more than anything, but I still live at school, and we’re not allowed to keep them in the dorms."

Su Qianqian said with a smile.

"Not really. I’m actually the kind of person who hates trouble, but I felt like we were fated to meet, so I decided to keep her."

Gu Yizhou said, shaking his head slightly.

Hearing this, Su Qianqian’s mouth opened slightly, as if she wanted to say something but was holding back.

Gu Yizhou noticed her strange behavior and asked softly, "Is something wrong?"

"Um... I..."

Su Qianqian’s pretty face blushed. She hesitated for a moment before looking up at Gu Yizhou and asking shyly, "Um... Yizhou, can I come over to your place to see the kitten?"

"Huh?"

Gu Yizhou was stunned. He hadn’t expected Su Qianqian to suddenly say that.

Looking at the hopeful expression on Su Qianqian’s face, and thinking that she just wanted to see the cat, he nodded. "Er... sure, you can."

"Ah?"

"Really?"

Su Qianqian’s eyes lit up when she heard him. But after a moment’s thought, she added, a little embarrassed, "Would that be inconvenient?"

"Heh heh, it’s fine. I live by myself right now."

Gu Yizhou said with a smile, "I’ll send you the address later. Whenever you want to come see the cat, just message me when you get to the district entrance, and I’ll come down to get you."

Since he had made up his mind, he wasn’t wishy-washy about it anymore and spoke openly.

’It’s just a friend coming over for a visit, anyway. No big deal.’

"Okay, then! It’s a deal!"

Su Qianqian said excitedly, "How about this: after I go to the movies with my roommate this afternoon, I’ll come over to your place to see the kitten. Is that okay?"

It was hard to say whether she was happy because she’d get to see a kitten, or because she’d get to go to Gu Yizhou’s home.

Only she knew the answer to that.

"Sure. Just send me a message when the time comes."

Gu Yizhou nodded.

"TWEE—TWEET TWEET—"

Just then, the sound of a whistle came from the stage, calling everyone to gather.

The last rehearsal of the morning was starting. Seeing this, Gu Yizhou put down his milk tea and stood up to walk toward the stage.

"By the way, Yizhou, what’s your kitten’s name?"

Su Qianqian suddenly asked.

Gu Yizhou paused for a second before answering casually, "Oh, her name is Xiaobai..."

「2:30 PM.」

Binjiang No.1 Mansion District, Apartment 305.

Yan Luoxi was sprawled on the sofa, bored out of her mind.

She was still in her cat form.

Ever since she had endured that strange sensation in the morning, the feeling of transformation hadn’t appeared once the entire morning.

This gave Yan Luoxi a rough idea of what was going on.

However, she felt she was getting sleepier and sleepier this morning. She didn’t know if it was because cats tend to be drowsy, or if it was a side effect of her forcing herself to maintain her cat form.

She lifted her small head to look out the window. The sun outside was still scorching, a stark contrast to the cool environment indoors.

"GROWL..."

Suddenly, a wave of hunger washed over her entire body.

Yan Luoxi suddenly remembered that she hadn’t eaten anything all morning.

She stood up and subconsciously glanced toward the cat food bowl on the balcony.

Ever since she’d been forced to eat cat food that day, she wasn’t so resistant to it anymore.

But she still didn’t really want to eat that cat food. After all, she wasn’t a real cat!

’Eating cat food all day is beneath my dignity as a female CEO!’

’Hmph!’

And so, she flopped back onto the sofa, motionless.

After another while.

"GROWL..."

The sound of her stomach rumbling echoed again. Yan Luoxi felt herself getting hungrier and hungrier.

’Maybe... just a couple of bites?’

Yan Luoxi thought to herself.

’I’m a cat right now, so it’s normal to have a couple of bites, right?’

Having made up her mind, she hopped down from the sofa.

But when she sauntered onto the balcony with a sexy catwalk, she found the food bowl was completely empty.

Only then did she remember that she had knocked over the cat food this morning, and that dog of a man, Gu Yizhou, had cleaned up the spilled food and thrown it away.

But Gu Yizhou had forgotten to refill it with new cat food!

"Ugh..."

’It’s over!’

’Who knows when that dog of a man will be back from his rehearsal!’

’Is he trying to starve me to death?!’

Yan Luoxi vented her dissatisfaction by batting the food bowl with her little pink paws.

"Meow~"

After venting for a moment, she let out a weak cry.

Then she went back to the sofa and lay sprawled on her back.

She was so hungry she felt completely drained of energy!

After lying there for a while longer, she really couldn’t take it anymore!

Suddenly!

An idea struck Yan Luoxi, and she shot up from the sofa...
