Chapter 81: Chapter 81: The Scumbag’s Scummy Behavior! Gu Yizhou: Xiaobai, Let Me Explain

’That sounds a little weird, doesn’t it?’

Chen Dong gave Gu Yizhou a meaningful look. But seeing Gu Yizhou’s straight-faced expression, he thought to himself, ’I must be overthinking it!’

"Er..."

Just then, Gu Yizhou noticed Chen Dong’s strange look and realized what he’d implied.

"Um... When I said it was fast, I meant my probationary application got approved quickly. Hehehe..."

Gu Yizhou explained awkwardly.

That’s right.

Gu Yizhou had originally thought he’d have to wait until the end of the month or the beginning of the next for his probationary period to be officially approved.

"Alright, kid. No need to explain. I get it,"

Chen Dong couldn’t help but roll his eyes at him and said irritably.

At this, Gu Yizhou could only give an awkward laugh.

"Alright, enough chit-chat. Come give me a hand with some real work."

"Analysis reports are your specialty. Help me go through this report file and streamline it,"

Chen Dong said, his expression turning serious.

「7:30 PM.」

「Binjiang No.1 Mansion District, Apartment 305.」

The room was pitch-black. Yan Luoxi, bored out of her mind, was sprawled on the sofa, occasionally glancing toward the front door.

Yan Luoxi had wanted to turn on the living room lights, but the switch was too high for her to reach.

So she had to give up.

Fortunately, she was a cat now. As everyone knows, a cat’s night vision is better than its day vision, so she could still see clearly. The pitch-black house didn’t affect her at all.

’Why is this damned man so late today?’

’Did he get swarmed by reporters and couldn’t get away? Or did he get chased while riding his bike and crash?’

...

Yan Luoxi’s mind raced with wild thoughts.

"CLICK~"

Just then, the door opened.

"FLICK!"

The lights flicked on.

The whole living room was suddenly flooded with light. Sprawled on the sofa, Yan Luoxi couldn’t adjust in time, her big, azure-blue eyes instinctively narrowing to slits.

"Xiaobai, Daddy’s home!"

Gu Yizhou glanced toward the sofa and said with a smile.

"..."

Yan Luoxi, her eyes still narrowed, remained expressionless and completely ignored him.

After changing his shoes, Gu Yizhou came over to the sofa. He casually tossed his backpack aside and flopped down dramatically. The soft cushions bounced from his weight, launching Yan Luoxi right off the sofa.

"??????"

Caught completely off guard, Yan Luoxi was utterly bewildered.

’The first thing he does when he gets home is mess with me?’

’Is that something a human being would even do?’

’Dammit!’

’You’re such a bastard!’

"MEOW~!!"

Yan Luoxi landed from mid-air, her paws slipping from under her. She looked both pathetic and utterly comical.

"Hahaha..."

Seeing her comical, panicked, and bewildered little expression, Gu Yizhou couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

"..."

Yan Luoxi fell silent for a moment, then in the next instant, her fur stood on end as a murderous glint flashed in her eyes.

"HISSS~!"

’Damned man!!’

’I’m gonna tear you apart!!!’

She pounced, charging straight for Gu Yizhou.

But Gu Yizhou seemed to have been prepared. He first grabbed a throw pillow from the sofa to block her, then scooped her up with his other hand.

Yan Luoxi found herself being lifted into the air.

"MROW~!"

’Ah!’

’You fight dirty!!’

’Let me go, you damned man!!!’

’If you’ve got the guts, let me go! I’ll take you on one-on-one!!!!’

Even with the scruff of her neck—the great equalizer of felines—firmly in his grasp, Yan Luoxi struggled frantically, twisting her body in defiance.

"Alright, Xiaobai, stop struggling. Let’s call a truce!"

Gu Yizhou said.

Yan Luoxi froze at his words.

’A truce?’

’Impossible!’

’I haven’t even gotten even with you for last night, and now you’re messing with me again! You damned man, you want a truce now? Fat chance!!’

Yan Luoxi turned her head and yowled at Gu Yizhou.

But all that came out of her mouth were a few high-pitched, kitten-like "meows."

Of course, Gu Yizhou couldn’t understand a word she was saying, but he could tell that Xiaobai was very agitated and still mad at him.

But that didn’t matter.

He had a secret weapon.

He made a peculiar gesture with his hand and slowly reached toward the still-struggling Xiaobai.

"Mrow~"

"PURRRR—PURRRR—"

Yan Luoxi’s tense body instantly went limp. Her eyes narrowed to slits as a "purrrr" escaped her lips unconsciously.

It was the signature sign of a feline’s comfort and enjoyment.

"Heh~"

"Your mouth says no, but your body says yes."

"You really are a little hypocrite, aren’t you!"

Gu Yizhou said, the corners of his mouth lifting into a smirk.

’People always say women say one thing and mean another. Looks like that applies not just to human women, but to little female cats, too!’

he thought to himself.

Although he had spoken quietly, Yan Luoxi had heard him. But right now, she didn’t even have the energy to argue back.

Because... at this moment, Gu Yizhou had her completely under his thumb.

’I’ll... I’ll fight him to the death next time!’

’For now, I’ll just enjoy this!’

Purrrr...

’This... this scratching feels way too good!’

Her blissful little expression was not lost on Gu Yizhou. He smiled slightly and didn’t say anything, merely speeding up the motion of his hand a little.

Yan Luoxi lay comfortably in Gu Yizhou’s arms, unable to stop herself from wriggling in bliss.

She was belly-up, and beneath her snow-white fur, her pink, rosy skin was faintly visible.

An idea popped into Gu Yizhou’s head, something he’d read while browsing a forum earlier that day.

"I heard that cats have eight nipples, is that right?"

Gu Yizhou said, his hand already moving to verify his claim.

Yan Luoxi, who had been lying on her back enjoying the scratches, suddenly jolted and her eyes flew open!

"MROW~!"

The next second, she let out a startled cry and shot to the other end of the sofa. She stared at Gu Yizhou with a look of shock and vigilance, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Gu Yizhou felt a bit awkward under the little white cat’s very human-like gaze.

"Uh..."

"Um... Xiaobai, I was just talking. Just kidding! I was just teasing you!"

"Hehehe..."

He spouted nonsense with a straight face.

But Yan Luoxi wasn’t buying it.

’Pervert! This damned man is such a pervert, he won’t even spare a kitten!’

"Ahem..."

Gu Yizhou coughed awkwardly and hurriedly tried to explain, "No, Xiaobai, listen to me, okay? I was just curious, it was just a joke! I didn’t actually want to touch your boobs!"

Yan Luoxi: "??????"
