「The next day.」

The rain had stopped, and surprisingly, the sun was out today.

Warm sunlight filtered through the gaps in the white sheer curtains, spilling onto Yan Luoxi.

She slowly opened her eyes and subconsciously stretched.

Feeling the warmth on her body, Yan Luoxi turned her head to see Gu Yizhou looking at her with a doting expression.

"Morning, Xiaobai."

Gu Yizhou said with a smile.

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi felt a little shy. She lowered her head and gently scratched her face with her paw.

Gu Yizhou couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight.

He reached out, scooped Yan Luoxi into his arms, and gently rubbed her little head.

"Xiaobai, sleep with me a little longer!"

Gu Yizhou said softly.

Yan Luoxi didn’t refuse. She curled up in Gu Yizhou’s arms, feeling the warmth from his body, and soon closed her eyes again.

...

A little while later, Yan Luoxi was the first to wake.

She opened her eyes and saw that Gu Yizhou, lying beside her, was still asleep.

She gently scratched Gu Yizhou’s cheek with her little paw.

"Meow~!"

’Get up, you jerk!’

’You’re going to be late for work!’

Yan Luoxi meowed at Gu Yizhou.

The main issue wasn’t really about him being late. Yan Luoxi was afraid that if the jerk actually overslept, how would she ever change back?

’I can’t just change back right in front of him, can I?’

"Hm?"

Woken by Yan Luoxi’s scratching, Gu Yizhou wasn’t angry. He just smiled and pulled her into his arms.

"Xiaobai, be good, don’t be naughty~"

"Sleep with your dad a little longer, okay~?"

Gu Yizhou said in a gentle voice.

Ugh...

Yan Luoxi was speechless.

’This jerk... he sure knows how to act spoiled!’

’But...’

’It’s kind of cute...’

’Fine, I’ll sleep with you for another ten minutes.’

Hmph~

With that thought, Yan Luoxi found a comfortable spot in Gu Yizhou’s arms and went back to sleep.

Gu Yizhou couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight.

He held Yan Luoxi and closed his eyes as well.

However, Gu Yizhou didn’t actually fall back asleep this time. After all, he still had to go to work at the company.

After just dozing for about five or six minutes, Gu Yizhou got up.

He glanced at the little cat who had fallen asleep again in his arms and shook his head helplessly.

He got out of bed as quietly as possible, trying not to disturb the soundly sleeping cat.

After getting dressed, Gu Yizhou left the room.

...

「An hour later.」

Yan Luoxi woke up once again.

She opened her eyes and subconsciously glanced to her side.

The spot next to her was already empty.

She looked around the room, then perked up her ears to listen for any sounds outside.

Sunlight streamed through the window, and the living room beyond was silent.

Turning her head again, she saw the alarm clock Gu Yizhou had placed on the nightstand. It was already nine in the morning.

’Nine o’clock?’

Yan Luoxi subconsciously looked down at herself.

Sure enough.

She had changed back from her cat form to her human one.

As expected, she was completely naked.

"I overslept again..."

Yan Luoxi shook her head helplessly.

’Thankfully, that jerk has already left for work. Otherwise, I’d have a lot of explaining to do!’

’It seems that next time the jerk wants to sleep in, I absolutely can’t join him.’

’Or I’ll really get exposed!’

Yan Luoxi thought to herself.

Throwing back the covers, Yan Luoxi sat up in bed.

Her fair, smooth skin, as white as snow, was exposed to the air.

Unfortunately, Gu Yizhou wasn’t there to see it. 𝐟𝑟ⅇ

After getting out of bed, Yan Luoxi found a blanket to wrap herself in and quickly returned to her own apartment, Room 306, next door.

After quickly changing into her own clothes, Yan Luoxi stealthily returned to Gu Yizhou’s apartment and put the blanket back where she found it.

As for the blankets on the bed, Yan Luoxi didn’t bother with them. After all, how could a cat possibly make a bed? So she just left it messy.

After doing all that, Yan Luoxi returned to Room 306 again and started to wash up and put on her makeup.

Once she was done, Yan Luoxi finally picked up her phone and turned it on, planning to reply to some work messages before heading out.

...

「Meanwhile.」

Tidal Group, Finance Department.

Gu Yizhou had just arrived at the company and finished his breakfast at his desk.

After cleaning up his desk, Gu Yizhou casually picked up his phone to take a look.

Seeing that Yan Luoxi still hadn’t replied to his messages, Gu Yizhou couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

He thought for a moment, then picked up his phone, opened his chat with Yan Luoxi, and sent a message. ⅇ

Gu Yizhou: [Are you at the company?]

However, after he sent the message, there was still no reply.

Gu Yizhou frowned, starting to feel worried.

He thought for another moment and sent another message.

Gu Yizhou: [Did something happen? Why aren’t you answering my messages?]

Yet, this message also vanished without a trace, receiving no response.

Gu Yizhou felt a surge of anxiety. He put down his phone, stood up, and walked out of his office.

He planned to go find Yan Luoxi and ask her what was wrong.

...

As for Yan Luoxi, she had just turned on her phone.

Seeing the messages continuously popping up, Yan Luoxi prioritized opening the ones from Gu Yizhou.

The moment she saw them, her heart lurched with panic.

’I’m screwed!’

’The jerk sent me so many messages, and I didn’t reply to a single one.’

’This...’

’He can’t be mad, can he?’

Yan Luoxi panicked.

So, she quickly sent a reply to Gu Yizhou.

「At the same time.」

Gu Yizhou had just reached the top floor and was stepping out of the elevator.

BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ—

Just then, his phone suddenly started vibrating.

He quickly took out his phone to check and saw that Yan Luoxi had replied.

Yan Luoxi: [I’m fine. I just had something to take care of today, so I took the morning off. I’ll be at the company in a bit, don’t worry about me.]

Seeing this message, Gu Yizhou instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

He replied: [Then be careful. Let me know if you need anything.]

In the parking lot of the Binjiang No.1 Mansion District, after receiving Gu Yizhou’s reply and seeing his tone wasn’t angry, Yan Luoxi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

After a moment’s thought, she sent Gu Yizhou a voice message directly: "Okay, I got it. I’m sorry for making you worry."

Seeing that Yan Luoxi had sent a voice message, Gu Yizhou stood by the elevator and listened to it.

After listening, Gu Yizhou shook his head helplessly.

He thought for a moment and sent a voice message back to her: "As long as you’re okay, you don’t need to say sorry."

After listening to Gu Yizhou’s voice message, Yan Luoxi gently bit her red lip. She hesitated for a moment, then initiated a video call to him.
