Chapter 70: Do Female Cats Also Get Their Periods?

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Do Female Cats Also Get Their Periods?

As Gu Yizhou stood there, lost in thought, the figure across the way vanished into the distance.

Snapping back to his senses, he gave a slight shake of his head and put the matter out of his mind. He picked up his backpack and helmet and headed upstairs.

CLICK.

The door opened.

"Xiaobai, Daddy’s home!"

His voice preceded him.

Yan Luoxi, sprawled on the sofa, glanced toward the door just in time to see Gu Yizhou walk in, bags in hand.

Yan Luoxi averted her gaze and curled her lip. ’What’s he yelling for?’ she thought with disgust. ’It’s not like I’m blind!’

Seeing no sign of movement in the living room, Gu Yizhou instinctively glanced toward the sofa and found Xiaobai curled up there.

He felt a little helpless.

’Oh, well.’

’Even though the little furball is ignoring me, it’s good to be home!’

Gu Yizhou paid no mind to Xiaobai’s attitude. After changing his shoes, he carried the take-out containers over to the sofa.

He casually set the food on the coffee table, walked over to Xiaobai, and swept her into his arms.

"MEOW~!"

Yan Luoxi had been resting with her eyes closed when she suddenly felt a sensation of weightlessness. She struggled instinctively and her eyes flew open in a panic. When she realized it was that scoundrel Gu Yizhou making trouble again, she stopped struggling and let out a curse.

Gu Yizhou held the little white cat up to his face. They were so close...

...that Yan Luoxi could feel his breath on her furry face.

WHOOSH.

Yan Luoxi immediately "blushed."

Of course, since she was currently a cat, there was no visible sign of her blush.

But her heart couldn’t help but accelerate, THUMP-THUMP-THUMPING wildly in her chest.

"Xiaobai, oh Xiaobai, Daddy was just talking to you. Why are you ignoring me?"

Gu Yizhou smiled, looking at the adorable, round-faced cat before him.

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s voice, Yan Luoxi finally snapped out of it.

She couldn’t help but glare at Gu Yizhou. ’Why should I answer you? By what right do I have to answer you? Hmph! Jerk!’

Hm?

’Wait!’

Suddenly, a thought struck her.

’Daddy, my ass!’

’Get lost, you damn mutt!’

Yan Luoxi angrily swiped at Gu Yizhou’s hand, then struggled violently to break free from his clutches!

After breaking free from Gu Yizhou’s hold, Yan Luoxi leaped to the floor and ran off with a WHOOSH!

’Damn it!’

’That jerk is taking liberties with me again!’

She stood on the balcony, staring at Gu Yizhou from a distance, her heart fluttering with panic.

It seemed she hadn’t controlled her strength and might have actually hurt him with that scratch!

’I’m done for!’

’He’s not going to hit me, is he?’

Yan Luoxi thought, her heart pounding with nervousness.

At the same time, she kept a close watch on Gu Yizhou, ready to bolt the instant he got angry enough to strike.

Man and cat stared each other down.

"Uh..."

’Wait a second!’

’I don’t think I did anything, did I?’

’Why is Xiaobai reacting so strongly today?’

’But!’

’Good thing it’s not a real scratch, just a red mark.’

’Otherwise, I’d have to get a rabies shot!’

Gu Yizhou glanced at the faint red mark on his hand, then back at the little white cat glaring at him with murderous intent from the balcony. He felt utterly helpless.

’Is Xiaobai on her period or something?’

’Wait, no.’

’Do female cats even get periods?’

Gu Yizhou wondered, thoroughly confused.

’Whatever.’

’If Xiaobai doesn’t want to be held today, then I won’t hold her.’

’Time to eat!’

’The food’s getting cold.’

’If you’re not eager to eat, there’s something wrong with you!’

Then, Gu Yizhou went to the kitchen to wash his hand, after which he started opening the take-out containers and began to eat.

Meanwhile, Yan Luoxi was still on the balcony, watching him from a distance. She had braced herself for him to get angry and punish her. But the jerk just looked in her direction for a moment, muttered to himself, and then started eating without scolding her at all.

This surprised Yan Luoxi a little!

After watching Gu Yizhou for a while longer, Yan Luoxi confirmed that the damn mutt really wasn’t bothered by her scratching him. So, she quietly returned to a corner of the sofa and sat down.

After finishing dinner, Gu Yizhou took the laptop out of his backpack and started looking at the stock market.

Seeing this, Yan Luoxi, who was off to the side, grew puzzled.

’Didn’t I bite this screen and break it yesterday?’

’Did that jerk get it fixed already?’

Gu Yizhou noticed Xiaobai’s stare. He pointed at the little white cat and said with a sigh of resignation, "Stop staring. It’s the same computer you broke last night."

"Don’t you go biting the screen again, you hear? Or else Daddy will have to give you a spanking!"

Gu Yizhou threatened, making a fist.

"MEOW~!"

Yan Luoxi let out a disdainful meow in his direction.

The sound seemed to say, ’I’ll do what I want. I’ll bite it if I feel like it. What are you gonna do about it?’

Gu Yizhou: "..."

Work days always pass so slowly.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Friday afternoon arrived. But for Gu Yizhou, there was no rest in sight.

All because the 70th anniversary of Modu University of Finance and Economics was here.

"Sisi, Yuqi, and I are going to a buffet tonight. Yizhou, want to come along?"

The receptionist, Shen Meng, asked Gu Yizhou.

"Uh..."

Gu Yizhou looked at Shen Meng’s hopeful expression and said apologetically, "Sister Xiaomeng, I’m sorry, but I have something to do at the university tonight. I won’t have time. You guys go on without me!"

"Oh."

A flicker of disappointment crossed Shen Meng’s eyes, but she quickly hid it.

"Well, if you’re busy with school stuff, Yizhou, you should get going!"

"We can just go another time."

"Okay!"

Gu Yizhou nodded and didn’t say anything more.

...

「Seven o’clock in the evening.」

"Check, one, two, check, check..."

On the large stage set up on the athletic field of Modu University of Finance and Economics, a crew of technicians was busy testing the sound equipment.

By now, a sizable crowd had already gathered on the field.

They were mostly students who, having finished dinner and with nothing better to do, had come early to see what was going on.

Meanwhile, Gu Yizhou had also just finished his dinner and arrived on campus at Modu University of Finance and Economics.

He had just arrived on campus when his class president, Lan Yuting, called and told him to come to the backstage dressing room near the main stage.

All performers were required to go there for makeup.

However, Gu Yizhou refused.

He had no intention of wearing makeup.

’Why would a grown man wear makeup?’

’It’s so effeminate!’

In his previous life on Earth, Gu Yizhou had always wondered what the hell was up with all those pop idols who debuted as trainees.

’Grown men putting on makeup until they look all androgynous and effeminate.’

’As public figures, that kind of behavior just has a bad influence on the younger generation.’

’If all the young people start copying them, what’s society going to turn into?’

’A man ought to look like a man!’
