Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Sniffing a Cat? This Damn Man Is Way Too Perverted

"Y-you... stay away!"

Yan Luoxi was utterly terrified.

"HUUUFF..."

Gu Yizhou buried his face in her belly and took a long, hard sniff.

’This posture, this action...’

’It’s over!’

’I’m tainted!’

Yan Luoxi lay on her back, limbs splayed, the very picture of someone who had lost the will to live.

After taking a few more deep breaths, Gu Yizhou finally pulled away from Xiaobai’s belly.

"So relaxing!"

He muttered to himself.

’No wonder so many people love burying their faces in their cats. There’s really a good reason for it.’

’Getting a lungful of cat really does lift your spirits!’

Gu Yizhou thought to himself.

"KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—"

Just then, a knock echoed from the door.

’The takeout must be here.’

Thinking it must be the delivery, Gu Yizhou let Xiaobai go and got up to open the door.

"Hello, your delivery is here."

"Enjoy your meal!"

The delivery guy handed over the food with a smile.

"Thanks."

After a quick word of thanks, Gu Yizhou took the delivery and went back to the living room.

The moment Gu Yizhou had let her go, Yan Luoxi had darted under the sofa to hide.

’I couldn’t help it!’

’That jerk Gu Yizhou is just too much of a weirdo!’

’I was terrified!’

"Huh?"

After setting down the food, Gu Yizhou noticed Xiaobai was gone from the sofa. Puzzled, he asked, "Xiaobai, where did you run off to now?"

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s words, Yan Luoxi, who was hiding under the sofa, couldn’t help but roll her eyes internally.

’Does that jerk really have the nerve to ask me that???’

’Tch!’

!@#$%^&!@#...

In her mind, she cursed Gu Yizhou up and down, from his head to his toes.

"Oh... Xiaobai, there you are."

Yan Luoxi: "..."

Gu Yizhou crouched down and glanced under the sofa. After spotting Xiaobai, he decided not to bother her anymore.

’Eating is the priority!’

’If you’re not pumped to eat, there must be something wrong with your brain!’

"SNAP~"

Gu Yizhou sat at the dining table and opened the box of barbecue.

The rich aroma of cumin from the barbecue instantly filled the entire living room, and Yan Luoxi, hiding under the sofa, naturally smelled it too.

"SLURP~"

She couldn’t stop herself from unconsciously gulping.

It wasn’t that she was actually hungry, having already eaten next door. But the smell of barbecue was just too tempting. Especially since she usually ate light foods to maintain her figure, this aroma was even more deadly!

"Huh?"

"Did I order this garlic enoki mushroom?"

Gu Yizhou paused for a moment; he couldn’t remember ordering garlic enoki mushrooms!

He wasn’t a big fan of them!

You see, enoki mushrooms have a nickname: "see you tomorrow."

It’s called that because when people eat hot pot or spicy hot pot, they often order enoki mushrooms. However, enoki mushrooms are often difficult to digest, so they tend to look the same coming out as they did going in. Thus, people jokingly call them "see you tomorrow."

However, even though the mushrooms themselves are hard to digest, their nutritional value is still absorbed by the body.

What’s more, enoki mushrooms are rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, offering many benefits to the body.

So, even if you do see undigested enoki mushrooms in the toilet the next day, you don’t have to worry that their nutrients weren’t absorbed.

It’s just that Gu Yizhou really wasn’t a fan of mushrooms.

Still, since it had been ordered, he went ahead and ate the "see you tomorrow." After all, he couldn’t let it go to waste.

Even though he had made quite a bit of money from stocks, being wasteful just wasn’t his style.

「Half an hour later.」

Gu Yizhou had finished eating and tidied up the trash.

Meanwhile, Yan Luoxi had already crawled out from under the sofa. It was too small and narrow, and the floor was hard—not at all a comfortable place to lie down!

After taking the trash outside and washing his hands, Gu Yizhou walked back to the sofa, scooped Yan Luoxi up, and cradled her in his arms.

"Meow~"

Yan Luoxi cried out, her four paws waving and struggling in the air.

She looked as if she were saying, "You creep, let me go! You’re about to suffocate me!"

Gu Yizhou heard the struggling cries of Xiaobai in his arms.

"Hm?"

He snapped back to reality and gently loosened his hold on it.

Yan Luoxi leaped back onto the sofa and shot Gu Yizhou a look of utter disgust.

"HUFF... PUFF..."

Yan Luoxi took several deep breaths, cursing him relentlessly in her head. ’You jerk! If you hadn’t let go, I would have puked up everything I ate today!’

"Uh..."

"Xiaobai, my bad!"

"I guess I didn’t realize how hard I was squeezing, heh..."

Gu Yizhou said, awkwardly scratching the back of his head.

Right then, all Yan Luoxi wanted to do was give this insufferable guy a massive eye-roll.

Too bad she couldn’t!

Yan Luoxi angrily whipped her little head to the side, pointedly ignoring Gu Yizhou.

Gu Yizhou sat down.

Ignoring her struggles, he pulled her onto his lap!

"Meow~"

Yan Luoxi let out a couple of protesting meows, but she was no match for Gu Yizhou. Helpless, she had no choice but to let him be.

The main reason was that Gu Yizhou’s massage technique was simply too good.

Those nimble... bah, I mean, Gu Yizhou’s fingers scratched away at her chin. Yan Luoxi closed her eyes in comfort, enjoying it immensely.

Looking at the adorable, blissed-out expression on Xiaobai’s face as she sat on his lap, Gu Yizhou couldn’t help but chuckle.

’What a cute, silly little cat,’ he thought.

After scratching Xiaobai for a while longer, Gu Yizhou suddenly remembered that he had been so busy all day he hadn’t checked on the Caesar Shares he’d bought!

So he grabbed the nearby backpack and took out a laptop.

"Meow~!"

When Gu Yizhou suddenly stopped moving, Yan Luoxi lifted an eyelid to glance at him and let out a meow of extreme dissatisfaction.

To Gu Yizhou, her little meow and expression seemed to say, "Hey! My personal poop-scooper, get back to petting me!!!"

Helpless, Gu Yizhou had no choice but to operate the laptop with one hand while continuing to massage and scratch it with the other.

After opening the app and logging into his stock account, Gu Yizhou scrolled the interface to Caesar Shares.

Unsurprisingly,

Caesar Shares had hit its daily limit up again.

The stock price for Caesar Shares had already jumped from 266.4 per share to 319.68 per share. In other words, Gu Yizhou had made nearly another 360,000!

’So good!’

Even for someone like Gu Yizhou, who had weathered his fair share of storms, he had to admit that these kinds of returns were frankly insane!

[Note: Caesar Shares is listed on the Sci-Tech Innovation Board, which has a daily price fluctuation limit of 20%. This means the stock hits its "limit up" if it rises by 20% in a single day and its "limit down" if it falls by 20%.]

Just as they say!

High risk, high reward. The risk and the returns are directly proportional.

A 20% jump in one day—now that’s what you call a heart-stopper!

"Hm?"

Yan Luoxi, who had been mesmerized by Gu Yizhou’s nimble fingers, realized he had stopped again. She couldn’t help but frown slightly before opening her eyes to take a look.

When she saw the corner of Gu Yizhou’s mouth twitch into a slight smile...

...she found herself momentarily mesmerized.
