Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Yan Luoxi Is Speechless! The Shameless Gu Yizhou

Of course, Yan Luoxi had no idea what was going on in Gu Yizhou’s head. If she did, she would have pounced on him and bitten that dog man to death on the spot.

Sigh~!

Gu Yizhou looked at the little cat curled up on the sofa, licking her paws, and sighed helplessly.

For now, he was at a loss with this silly little cat.

If they kept this up, it wouldn’t be a case of a human training a cat, but a cat toying with a human!

"KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—"

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

It was probably the takeout delivery.

Gu Yizhou got up to get the door. Unsurprisingly, it was the delivery guy.

He brought the food in, and a moment later, another delivery guy arrived.

It was the live shrimp Gu Yizhou had bought for Xiaobai.

"Xiaobai, your shrimp are here. Daddy’s going to cook them for you."

Gu Yizhou said casually.

With that, he carried the shrimp into the kitchen.

...

「Half an hour later.」

Gu Yizhou had eaten his fill, and so had Yan Luoxi.

After enjoying the dog man’s personal shrimp-peeling and feeding service, Yan Luoxi flopped back onto the sofa in bliss.

’Even though the shrimp wasn’t salted, it had a natural sweetness that was way better than all that chicken breast nonsense.’

Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but eat a few extra shrimp.

After packing up his takeout container and the kitchen trash, Gu Yizhou washed his hands and sat back down on the sofa.

He turned on the space heater beside them, aiming it at himself and the cat.

Gu Yizhou reached out and stroked Yan Luoxi’s little head.

The dog man had just washed his hands with hot water, so his touch was warm and incredibly comfortable.

She couldn’t help but narrow her eyes in pleasure.

"You full, Xiaobai?"

Gu Yizhou asked, not ready to give up. "How about... we try that game again? Help you digest?"

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him.

’This dog man.’

’He wants to go again?’

’Just see if I give you the time of day!’

She closed her eyes again, pointedly ignoring Gu Yizhou.

Seeing her complete refusal to acknowledge him, Gu Yizhou felt a little helpless.

’This silly little cat is too smart for her own good!’

’Oh, well.’

’There’s plenty of time. I’ll take it slow.’

’One day, I’ll get her to play this game with me willingly.’

Gu Yizhou thought to himself.

’It’s still early. Since Xiaobai won’t play, I guess I’ll check on my stocks.’

’Tomorrow’s the day I can sell. I should figure out the best time to do it.’

’It’s not like I need to be that worried, though.’

’My stake is so small, no one’s even going to notice.’

When Yan Luoxi saw that Gu Yizhou wasn’t forcing her to play that "cat-training" game anymore, she nodded in satisfaction.

She wasn’t sure if it was because her cold hadn’t fully healed or if she was just full.

As the warm air from the heater washed over her, Yan Luoxi felt a wave of drowsiness.

She couldn’t help but yawn, and after snuggling a little closer to the dog man, she closed her eyes and drifted off.

By now, she had completely let her guard down around Gu Yizhou.

’She was also sure that while Gu Yizhou was a bit of a dog, he wasn’t a pervert who would do strange things to her.’

So, she could sleep soundly by his side.

...

「Eleven o’clock at night.」

Gu Yizhou put down his phone and glanced at the kitty snoozing by his thigh.

"Asleep?"

Gu Yizhou blinked.

The silly little cat had fallen asleep at some point without him noticing.

He smiled and shook his head.

’It’s getting late. Time for a shower.’

Gu Yizhou glanced at the clock on the wall and stood up.

After a moment’s thought, he grabbed a blanket from nearby and gently draped it over the little cat.

Only then did he head to the bedroom.

Meanwhile, Yan Luoxi remained curled up on the sofa, fast asleep...

「Half an hour later.」

Gu Yizhou stepped out of the bathroom.

His hair was dry, and he was wearing a set of fluffy pajamas, looking clean and refreshed.

He walked over to the sofa and saw that Xiaobai was still asleep.

So, he went over and patted her on the rump.

Yan Luoxi shifted but didn’t wake up.

Now that she had no defenses up against Gu Yizhou, she was sleeping like a log.

"Sleeping like a little piglet!"

Gu Yizhou shook his head with a helpless smile.

He reached out and flicked the little cat’s ear.

Of course, he didn’t do it too hard, but it was enough to jolt Yan Luoxi from her slumber.

Yan Luoxi’s eyes snapped open.

The first thing she saw was Gu Yizhou’s handsome face, the mischievous smirk playing on his lips, and the finger he hadn’t yet pulled back.

Feeling the lingering sting in her ear, Yan Luoxi knew exactly what had just happened.

"Xiaobai, time to wake up and sleep for real~"

Gu Yizhou said, half-joking.

"Meow?"

Her eyes were wide as she stared at Gu Yizhou in utter disbelief.

’Brilliant!’

’Truly a dog man through and through.’

’When it comes to being a dog, you’re a real pro!’

’He even manages to come up with a new way to be a jerk every single time.’

’Unbelievable!’

Yan Luoxi thought, grinding her teeth.

"Okay, okay, I’ll stop teasing you,"

Gu Yizhou said. "Come on, Xiaobai. It’s cold out here. Let’s go to the bedroom to sleep!"

With that, he reached out, scooped her up, and headed for the bedroom.

...

Being carried like a handbag, Yan Luoxi’s big, sapphire-blue eyes were filled with utter resignation.

’She didn’t even want to speak anymore.’

’Seriously.’

’She couldn’t even be bothered to say a single "meow."’

Back in the room, Gu Yizhou placed the cat on the bed.

Then he lay down himself.

The wind was still howling outside the window, though the rain had stopped.

The frigid wind battered the windowpane, a testament to just how cold it was outside.

"Looks like buying a car really needs to be put on the agenda,"

Gu Yizhou murmured to himself, pulling his gaze from the window.

’Riding his motorcycle is cool and all, but he didn’t want to freeze his ass off commuting in this weather.’

’After I sell the stocks tomorrow and the money comes in, I’ll go to the dealership this weekend and pick out a car.’

Gu Yizhou mused silently.

’But for now, a good night’s sleep was more important.’

’Sleeping was the best thing to do in this weather.’

He tucked a corner of the comforter around Xiaobai.

"Good night, Xiaobai."

Gu Yizhou said softly.

Yan Luoxi shot him a look, not wanting to give him the time of day.

’Jerk.’

’Good night, my ass!’

’Now that he’d woken her up, she was wide awake and couldn’t get back to sleep at all.’

"CLICK~"

The bedroom light went out, plunging the room into darkness.

Gu Yizhou tucked his hands back under the covers, closed his eyes, and began to fall asleep.

Perhaps it was the perfect warmth of the bed, because Gu Yizhou was asleep in no time.

...

Listening to the dog man’s steady breathing beside her, Yan Luoxi was speechless.

’This dog man!’

’He gets to sleep just fine!’

’But now I’m wide awake...’
