Chapter 49: Chapter 49: The School Belle Comes Knocking

Fortunately, Gu Yizhou had spoken very quietly.

Besides, Yan Luoxi was in so much pain that she was completely focused on throwing up and didn’t hear what he said.

Otherwise!

She probably would have jumped up right then and there to bite that scoundrel Gu Yizhou to death, even if the pain killed her!

’What the hell!’

’Is that something a human being should say?!’

After Yan Luoxi finished throwing up, she came back to her senses.

Her stomach felt a little better now that she was done.

She stole a glance at Gu Yizhou, feeling a little embarrassed.

’It’s true!’

’Every time I embarrass myself, it’s in front of Gu Yizhou.’

’This time, I even threw up all over the floor.’

’That jerk... Is he going to be mad?’

Yan Luoxi was a little worried.

However, she saw that Gu Yizhou wasn’t angry at all.

Seeing that she seemed a bit better, Gu Yizhou shook his head, got up to get a broom and mop, and started cleaning up the mess on the floor.

Watching Gu Yizhou’s actions, a ripple spread through Yan Luoxi’s heart for the first time.

After Gu Yizhou finished cleaning the floor, he walked over to Xiaobai.

’Uh...’

’He’s not going to hit me, is he?’

Yan Luoxi’s imagination ran wild.

But that didn’t happen.

Gu Yizhou reached out and gently stroked her head.

"Xiaobai, did you sneak off and eat something you shouldn’t have?"

Gu Yizhou asked.

The reason he asked was that while cleaning up the mess, he’d noticed what looked like undigested meat in Xiaobai’s vomit.

’Uhh...’

’He found out?’

Yan Luoxi felt awkward!

"MEOW~"

She meowed, feigning a look of innocence.

Seeing Xiaobai looking at him with those innocent-looking little eyes, Gu Yizhou just looked helpless.

There was nothing he could do, so he could only say with fond exasperation, "You really are a mischievous little glutton!"

"MEOW~"

Yan Luoxi meowed, a little abashed.

"Xiaobai, you can’t just eat random things anymore, okay?"

"Or you’ll feel sick just like you did today. You hear me?"

Gu Yizhou lectured her with a serious expression.

"MEOW~"

’You’ve got some nerve! If you hadn’t come home so late, would I have needed to eat that?!’

Yan Luoxi thought indignantly.

She had already forgotten that even if this hadn’t happened, she definitely would have snuck food in the future anyway.

Because she was a glutton!

Just then, Yan Luoxi suddenly smelled a faint trace of perfume on Gu Yizhou.

’Hmph!’

’Aha! So that’s why you were home so late!’

’You snuck off to mess around with some woman!’

’You damned jerk, you stinking, rotten man!’

A moment ago, Yan Luoxi had felt a bit of guilt toward Gu Yizhou.

But!

Now, it was all gone!

All Yan Luoxi wanted to do right now was bite him to death!

’This rotten man left me at home to starve, causing me to get sick and throw up from eating a cold steak!’

’Meanwhile, he was out seducing women!’

’I can’t believe this scoundrel would do something like that!’

’Just incredible!’

’And to think I was just worried something might have happened to him!’

Yan Luoxi cursed him wildly in her mind.

Of course, Gu Yizhou had no idea what Yan Luoxi was thinking.

He gently picked her up.

He took a wet wipe from the table and cleaned her mouth.

Then he gently stroked her body.

Seeing how gentle Gu Yizhou’s movements were, Yan Luoxi found that she couldn’t stay angry at him, no matter how hard she tried.

Smelling his unique scent, Yan Luoxi suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of peace.

She looked up at Gu Yizhou’s handsome face and the tenderness that filled his eyes, and she actually felt a little shy.

It was the first time in her life she had ever felt this way about a boy.

Yan Luoxi slowly closed her eyes, savoring the peaceful moment.

And so the man and the cat sat on the sofa, one petting and one being petted.

Because she wasn’t feeling well, the sudden relaxation of her body and mind caused Yan Luoxi to quickly fall asleep.

An unknown amount of time passed.

Gu Yizhou looked down and saw that Xiaobai, who was in his arms, had fallen asleep at some point.

He smiled faintly, lifted her up ever so gently, walked back to his room, and carefully placed her on the bed.

In her sleep, Yan Luoxi unconsciously stretched out her little paws, looking incredibly cute.

Gu Yizhou gently stroked her head.

Then he grabbed a change of clothes and went to take a shower.

He’d been rehearsing for so long and had sweated a lot, so his whole body felt uncomfortable.

After a quick shower, it felt as if he had washed away a layer of dust.

Gu Yizhou felt refreshed and invigorated from head to toe.

If he could have a cigarette right now, it would be perfect.

Speaking of cigarettes, Gu Yizhou realized he hadn’t touched one since coming to this world.

In his past life on Earth, because of the special nature of his work, Gu Yizhou almost always had a cigarette or a drink in his hand.

It was a good thing he didn’t smoke anymore; after all, smoking and drinking too much really did take a huge toll on one’s body.

Gu Yizhou shook his head with a self-deprecating smile.

Just then, Gu Yizhou’s phone rang.

"I’m heading north, leaving the greasy season behind..."

Gu Yizhou picked up his phone and saw it was an unknown number.

He was a little puzzled, but answered it anyway.

"Hello? Who is this?"

Gu Yizhou said into the phone.

"Hehe, guess who this is?"

A sweet female voice came from the other end of the line.

Gu Yizhou: "..."

He casually replied, "How about you guess if I’m going to guess?"

This was a meme from his past life on Earth.

Uh...

The girl on the other end of the line didn’t seem to expect Gu Yizhou to say that.

She was taken aback for a moment.

"Oh, just take a guess."

The girl continued.

"Haha, Su Qianqian, I know it’s you."

Gu Yizhou said with a helpless smile.

Meanwhile, Yan Luoxi, who had been sound asleep, was woken by the noise. She tilted her little head up slightly and glanced toward Gu Yizhou.

’Hmm???’

’Su Qianqian?’

’That sounds like a girl’s name, right?’

’A girl is actually calling this jerk?’

She pricked up her two cute little ears and began to eavesdrop stealthily.

...

"Hey!"

"Geez, you’re no fun!"

Su Qianqian pouted.

Then she continued, "Yizhou, didn’t we agree I’d come over this afternoon to see your cat? I’m here now. Which building and unit are you in?"

"Huh?"

"You’re already here?"

"Okay, wait a minute. I’ll come down and get you now."

Gu Yizhou said, surprised.

After hanging up, Gu Yizhou shook his head helplessly.

He hadn’t expected Su Qianqian to actually show up.

Just as he was about to get up, he saw Xiaobai staring at him with wide, round, questioning eyes.

"Hey, Xiaobai, you’re awake?"

Seeing she was awake, Gu Yizhou walked over, stroked Xiaobai’s little head, and said with a smile, "Xiaobai, a nice young lady is coming over to see you and play with you. You need to be on your best behavior in a little while, okay? No mischief!"

Yan Luoxi: "????????"
