Chapter 61: Chapter 61: The Turnaround, A Scene of Massive Public Humiliation

"Uh..."

Knowing he was in the wrong, He Mingyi didn’t dare to retort after being told off by Song Sisi.

Gu Yizhou couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath on a clown like He Mingyi. He’d rather use the time to go home, enjoy a nice dinner, and then stroke... uh, his cat!

"I’m off! You guys take your time with the overtime, ha~!"

Gu Yizhou picked up his backpack and said with a slight smile.

With that, he waved to everyone in the office, then turned and left with a cool flair.

He Mingyi and the others watched his departing figure, their eyes filled with envy...

Binjiang Mansion No. 1 District,

Building 7, Unit 3, Apartment 305.

Yan Luoxi was currently sprawled on the sofa, bored.

That’s right!

She had gotten back an hour before Gu Yizhou. First, she had a nice dinner in her own apartment, 306, then sat on the sofa and handled some work. Only after she had turned into a cat did she slip through the hole in the door.

However, ever since her last experiment, Yan Luoxi had discovered that she could now exert some control over whether she transformed into a cat or a person when the time came.

The duration of this forced control was only a short hour, but it was a good start, wasn’t it?

At least she wouldn’t be forcefully turned into a cat right on schedule like before, which always left her in a disheveled mess.

Moreover, Yan Luoxi had a feeling that as time went on, the duration she could stay as a cat or maintain her human form would gradually increase.

This gave her a bit of confidence. After all, she really didn’t want to be a cat forever!

She was the dignified president of a hundred-billion-dollar corporation. If people found out she was a little kitten, the entire city of Modu would probably descend into chaos!

Sigh~

’At least now I can see some hope.’

’I’ll just take it one step at a time!’

Yan Luoxi thought to herself.

...

Meanwhile,

Gu Yizhou appeared at the district entrance on his second-hand CFMoto 450SR.

"I travel north, leaving the greasy season behind..."

After returning to the underground parking garage and parking his bike, Gu Yizhou hummed a little tune all the way upstairs.

Suddenly!

Someone covered his eyes with their hands.

Gu Yizhou jumped in surprise!

Before he could even react, a voice, deliberately distorted, sounded by his ear.

"Guess who?"

Gu Yizhou: "..."

Just from the sound of the voice, he couldn’t tell who it was, or even if they were male or female!

At that moment, he suddenly recalled a gag video he often saw online back in his previous life on Earth.

"Turn around and grab~"

He abruptly reached back with his hand.

"Ngh~"

The voice by his ear suddenly trembled.

Gu Yizhou felt a soft, supple sensation in his hand.

He couldn’t help but give it another squeeze.

’Hmm?’

’This... this doesn’t feel right!’

"Ah~"

The person behind Gu Yizhou had already let go of his eyes, and her voice returned to normal!

’Huh???’

’That voice...’

’It sounds like the campus beauty, Su Qianqian?’

He rubbed his eyes and turned to look.

Indeed!

A delicate, lightly made-up face appeared before him...

It really was the campus beauty, Su Qianqian.

But right now, Su Qianqian’s face was completely red!

She was staring at him with a look of both shame and anger.

Huh??

Gu Yizhou looked at Su Qianqian in confusion. "Classmate Su, what are you doing here?"

Su Qianqian saw him looking at her with a blank and confused expression.

It only made her angrier!

"Hmph!"

"You big pervert!"

"You damn creep!"

Su Qianqian huffed angrily.

After saying her piece, she stomped her foot, turned around, and walked off in a huff!

After a few steps, Su Qianqian suddenly turned back, angrily shoved a bag she was holding into Gu Yizhou’s hands, and then stormed off again!

"Uh... (⊙o⊙)..."

Leaving Gu Yizhou standing there, completely baffled and a mess...

’This...’

’What’s wrong with her?’

’And another thing!’

’Since when am I a pervert?’

’Pervert my ass!’

Gu Yizhou was completely bewildered.

He glanced down at the bag in his hand.

Suddenly!

Gu Yizhou abruptly remembered the feeling in his hand just now...

’Uh... could it be...’

’It’s over!’

’I’ve really screwed up!’

’It seems I really took the joke too far this time!’

’No wonder it felt a little off!’

Gu Yizhou’s face was a mask of bitterness.

’A textbook case of social suicide!’

Honestly, he really didn’t mean to grope her...

Gu Yizhou hurried to the stairwell, wanting to explain things to Su Qianqian, but he found that she was already long gone!

’I’m so screwed!’

’Now, even jumping into the Yellow River won’t wash me clean!’

’What a disaster!’

He shook his head helplessly, then took out his phone and sent Su Qianqian an apology text.

Gu Yizhou: "I’m sorry, Classmate Su. I didn’t know it was you. I really didn’t do it on purpose, I’m sorry!"

"DING~"

The message showed as successfully sent, but after waiting for a while, he still hadn’t received a reply from Su Qianqian.

"Sigh~"

"Looks like she’s really angry," Gu Yizhou said with a soft sigh, his expression helpless.

Shoving his phone back into his pocket, Gu Yizhou carried the bag Su Qianqian had given him to his front door.

"BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ—"

Just as he was about to take out his keys to open the door, his phone suddenly started vibrating in his pocket.

He took out his phone and saw it was a text from Su Qianqian.

"Pervert!"

The text contained just that single word.

After reading it, Gu Yizhou looked completely helpless.

’Sure enough!’

’She’s really angry.’

’But... I really didn’t do it on purpose!’

He was the picture of helplessness.

He typed out a reply, wanting to explain again, but a big red exclamation mark appeared on the screen. The message couldn’t be sent...

Uh... (⊙o⊙)...

’Did I just get blocked?’

Gu Yizhou was dumbfounded.

’Looks like I’ve really been labeled a creep!’

’It’s over!’

’This time I’m really, truly screwed!’

For a moment, Gu Yizhou had no idea what to do.

If he was talented and skilled when it came to stock trading and finance, then coaxing girls was definitely his weak spot!

Across two lifetimes, he had always been alone, a single dog. He had no idea how to placate a girl!

Shaking his head helplessly, Gu Yizhou was out of options. He decided to wait until the weekend or whenever he had free time to find Su Qianqian and explain everything to her in person.

"CLICK~"

He took out his key, opened the door, and walked inside.

Hearing the door open, Yan Luoxi, who had been resting with her eyes closed on the sofa, slowly opened them. She lifted her eyelids and glanced toward the entrance.

After seeing that it was that jerk of a man, Gu Yizhou, who had returned, she lowered her head and went back to resting, completely ignoring him.

That’s right!

She was just that aloof and proud!

Just then, Gu Yizhou also noticed the little white cat lying on the sofa.

He smiled at the little white cat. "Xiaobai, Daddy’s home~"

Yan Luoxi: "..."

’Daddy my ass! *I’m* your daddy!’

While mentally flipping him off, she silently cursed Gu Yizhou from head to toe all over again.
