Chapter 53: She’s Just a Little Kitty, What Bad Intentions Could She Have?

Chapter 53: Chapter 53: She’s Just a Little Kitty, What Bad Intentions Could She Have?

The little incident left the atmosphere in the living room a bit strange.

Neither Gu Yizhou nor Su Qianqian said a word.

The only sounds at the dining table were the chewing and swallowing of the two as they ate their noodles.

...

「Ten minutes later.」

"Classmate Su, I’m done. I’m going to go get Xiaobai’s chicken breast ready."

Gu Yizhou wiped his mouth with a napkin and smiled at Su Qianqian. "Oh, right. Take your time. When you’re finished, you can just leave your bowl here. I’ll take care of everything later."

"Oh, okay."

Su Qianqian nodded and said softly, "Go ahead."

At that, Gu Yizhou didn’t say anything else. He stood, picked up his bowl, and walked into the kitchen.

Just then, Su Qianqian was about to take a sip of water.

But then she realized—the glass of water she’d just handed to Gu Yizhou was the very one she had been drinking from...

Uh...

’Doesn’t... doesn’t that count as an indirect kiss?’

At the thought, Su Qianqian’s face flushed red again.

’So embarrassing!’

She picked up the glass that Gu Yizhou had just used.

After a moment’s hesitation, she took a sip from it anyway.

Her face was now as red as a fiery sunset.

Yan Luoxi, curled up on the sofa, was secretly observing her.

When she saw Su Qianqian’s face suddenly flush again, she was completely baffled.

’This woman must have a screw loose.’

’Why is she blushing again for no reason?’

Yan Luoxi thought with a look of disdain.

Just then, Gu Yizhou came out of the kitchen, carrying the prepared chicken breast.

He noticed Su Qianqian’s flushed face and thought it was strange.

"Classmate Su, are you hot?"

Gu Yizhou asked out of concern, "Should I turn on the AC for you?"

Su Qianqian: "..."

"Huh?"

"No, no..."

"Don’t go to the trouble."

Su Qianqian said quickly.

’This is so awkward!’

’I have to calm down. Now.’

’Otherwise, this is just too mortifying.’

Gu Yizhou didn’t think much of it.

Since she said there was no need, he didn’t press the matter.

He carried the bowl of chicken breast over to the sofa.

"Xiaobai, I’ve got your chicken breast ready. Come on and eat."

Gu Yizhou said to the little white cat sprawled on the sofa.

Yan Luoxi shot him a glance. Although she was reluctant...

...she still padded over to his side.

’Can’t be helped!’

’I threw up earlier, so my stomach is completely empty. I’m starving!’

"Meow~"

After walking up to Gu Yizhou, Yan Luoxi meowed at him.

She just stared at him quietly.

The meaning was obvious.

’Well? Aren’t you going to feed me?!’

Gu Yizhou understood the look in her eyes and shook his head helplessly. "Alright, alright, I’ll feed you."

With that, he sat down on the sofa, put on a pair of disposable gloves, and began to feed her pieces of chicken breast.

Seeing this,

Yan Luoxi was finally satisfied.

As she ate the chicken Gu Yizhou fed her, she didn’t forget to shoot a glance toward Su Qianqian.

Her expression was incredibly smug!

’See that, woman?’

’You have to eat your noodles by yourself, but *I* have someone to feed me!’

Yan Luoxi was feeling extremely smug!

Of course, Su Qianqian had no idea what the cat was thinking. Her gaze was fixed on Gu Yizhou as he gently fed Xiaobai.

Watching how gentle, patient, and caring he was, Su Qianqian’s heart swelled with even more affection for him.

’He’s handsome, he has a beautiful voice, and he’s so gentle and kind!’

’He really is the man I’ve chosen!’

Su Qianqian thought to herself, the adoration in her eyes as she looked at Gu Yizhou was practically overflowing.

At this point, if Gu Yizhou so much as crooked his finger, she would probably be his in a heartbeat.

After watching for another moment, Su Qianqian averted her gaze. Seeing that Gu Yizhou was busy feeding Xiaobai, she didn’t want to disturb him, so she picked up her own bowl and took it to the kitchen to wash.

When she came back out, she dried her hands and went to sit on the sofa, quietly watching Gu Yizhou feed the cat.

"Oh, Classmate Su, you’re done with your noodles?"

"You could have just left the bowl there. I would’ve cleaned it up later."

Gu Yizhou said with a smile when he noticed Su Qianqian had returned.

"I’ve already washed it."

Su Qianqian said, blinking playfully.

"Uh... alright then."

Seeing her expression, Gu Yizhou didn’t say anything more.

Yan Luoxi also saw Su Qianqian sit down nearby.

She merely lifted an eyelid to glance at her before deciding she couldn’t be bothered.

’Eating is what’s important!’

Soon, Yan Luoxi had devoured the entire bowl of chicken breast.

"Alright, it’s all gone."

Gu Yizhou said to Xiaobai.

"Meow~"

Yan Luoxi meowed at Gu Yizhou.

It was a meow that clearly meant: ’You think I need you to tell me? I’m not blind!’

But in Gu Yizhou’s eyes, he just assumed she hadn’t had enough to eat yet.

"Come on, it’s really all gone!"

Gu Yizhou shook his head with a helpless laugh. "Xiaobai, you really are a little glutton!"

Yan Luoxi: "..."

She shot Gu Yizhou a look one might give an idiot, then pointedly ignored him.

She curled up in a corner of the sofa and shut her eyes.

’A full belly makes you sleepy!’

’Soooo comfy...’

"Uh..."

Gu Yizhou stared at Xiaobai’s actions, dumbfounded.

He had never seen such a human-like expression on a cat before.

"Yizhou, I don’t know... but I feel like the look Xiaobai just gave you was kind of like she was looking at... an idiot?"

Su Qianqian said after a moment’s hesitation.

Gu Yizhou: "..."

Hearing Su Qianqian’s words, Yan Luoxi lifted her head and shot her a glance.

"Meow~"

Yan Luoxi meowed at her.

It was a meow that meant, ’Heh, you shameless woman. So you’re not completely stupid!’

Yan Luoxi’s expression could not have been more haughty.

Su Qianqian: "..."

This time, it was her turn to be speechless.

Because the look Xiaobai had just given her was also filled with disdain and contempt...

"Er... well, Xiaobai is a pretty smart and expressive cat. She doesn’t have a mean bone in her body, though, so please don’t take it to heart, haha."

"Hehe~"

Gu Yizhou said, looking a bit awkward.

"..."

’What could she possibly say?’

’Nothing!’

’She couldn’t possibly argue with a kitten, could she?’

"Hehe..."

She could only manage an awkward yet polite laugh.

Then, Gu Yizhou got up and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

That left Su Qianqian and Yan Luoxi—one woman, one cat—staring at each other.

"Xiaobai, can I hold you?"

Unwilling to give up, Su Qianqian asked Xiaobai.

As she spoke, she reached out to hold her.

"MROOOW~"

"HSSS~"

There was no way Yan Luoxi would allow this woman to hold her!

She shot to her feet, her ears flattened back like airplane wings. She hissed at Su Qianqian, baring her fangs in a ferocious display!

Uh...

Seeing this, Su Qianqian’s hand, already outstretched, froze in mid-air!

She sheepishly drew her hand back.

Seeing how much Xiaobai was resisting, how could she possibly dare to try and hold her now?

’If I try to force it, I’ll probably get scratched to pieces before I even touch her.’

’I don’t want to get my face scratched!’

So, she could only sit back down awkwardly.

And so, the woman and the cat remained in a standoff...
