Chapter 365: Chapter 365: Yan Luoxi Is Going to Confess? Give That Damn Man Some Mental Preparation

Gu Yizhou gently stroked Yan Luoxi’s soft fur, a doting smile on his face. He sat on the sofa, letting the cat snuggle contentedly in his arms.

"Xiaobai, are you hungry?"

he asked softly, then pulled a bag of cat food from a nearby cabinet.

He poured the cat food into her bowl and pushed it in front of Yan Luoxi.

Seeing this, Yan Luoxi’s heart warmed.

’This man... he’s so good to me.’

Even though she was a cat right now, Gu Yizhou’s thoughtfulness and gentleness made her feel incredibly happy.

"Meow~"

But she didn’t want to eat, so she meowed softly as a response.

Seeing that she wasn’t eating, Gu Yizhou didn’t press the issue.

He carried Yan Luoxi back to the sofa. "Xiaobai," Gu Yizhou said, "Dad’s going to go dry his hair."

With that, he walked over, picked up the hair dryer, and began to dry his hair.

"WHIRRR—"

The sound of the hair dryer filled the living room.

Yan Luoxi didn’t find it noisy. She just curled up on the sofa, her eyes slightly narrowed, and waited obediently for Gu Yizhou to finish.

...

「Two and a half minutes later.」

Gu Yizhou finished drying his hair.

He glanced up at the clock on the wall.

It was already almost one in the morning.

It was late. Gu Yizhou lay down on the bed, holding Yan Luoxi.

He gently patted her back, coaxing her to sleep.

Yan Luoxi lay in his arms, feeling his heartbeat and his breath.

She closed her eyes, her heart filled with sweetness and anticipation.

’Good night, you jerk.’

Yan Luoxi thought to herself.

Gu Yizhou seemed to sense her affection and lowered his head to nuzzle the little cat’s head.

"Good night, Xiaobai."

he said softly.

Then, he too closed his eyes and began to sleep.

Before long,

the sounds of breathing in the bedroom grew steady and even.

The man and the cat drifted off into a sweet dreamland together.

In the dead of night, the entire city was fast asleep. In Gu Yizhou’s bedroom, only a faint moonlight filtered through the gap in the curtains, casting a soft glow on the bed.

Gu Yizhou’s breathing was even and deep, one of his arms resting lightly on Yan Luoxi’s body, as if afraid she would run off.

Yan Luoxi was also sleeping soundly. Her body was curled into a ball, her fluffy little head buried in Gu Yizhou’s chest, and she would occasionally let out a few contented purrs.

「Early the next morning.」

The first rays of morning sun slipped through the gap in the curtains, gently falling on Gu Yizhou’s face. He slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Yan Luoxi’s fluffy little head, resting quietly on his chest.

Gu Yizhou smiled gently and carefully reached out a hand to stroke Yan Luoxi’s fur. He felt the warmth and softness of the cat’s body, and a strange sense of happiness welled up inside him.

"Good morning, Xiaobai," he said softly, his voice full of affection.

Yan Luoxi seemed to sense his movement and blinked her eyes open. She saw Gu Yizhou looking at her gently, and her heart warmed. She nuzzled her head against his chest in response.

Gu Yizhou smiled, picked her up, and placed her on his lap. He looked down into Yan Luoxi’s clear, bright eyes, his heart filled with love.

"Xiaobai, you seem especially well-behaved today," he said with a smile.

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi felt secretly pleased. ’Of course I am,’ she thought. ’I’m your girlfriend, so I have to be good.’

But of course, she couldn’t say that out loud. She just stared at Gu Yizhou with her big eyes, as if telling him with her gaze: ’See how good I am? Hurry up and praise me!’

Gu Yizhou naturally understood her look. He smiled, ruffled the fur on her head, and said, "Such a good girl, Xiaobai. You get a kiss as a reward."

With that, he lowered his head and gently kissed her on the forehead.

A sweet feeling filled Yan Luoxi’s heart. She felt as if she were about to melt from Gu Yizhou’s gentleness.

"RUMBLE—"

Just then, the sound of a hungry stomach rumbled.

Yan Luoxi was suddenly a little embarrassed. She looked up at Gu Yizhou, only to see him looking at her with an amused expression.

"Are you hungry, Xiaobai?" he asked with a laugh.

"Meow~"

Yan Luoxi meowed at Gu Yizhou. ’Yes, I’m hungry,’ she thought. ’But I don’t want cat food. I want the breakfast you make.’

At that, Gu Yizhou reached for his phone on the side, picked it up, and glanced at it.

It was now exactly eight in the morning.

Feeling a bit hungry himself, Gu Yizhou decided to get up, wash up, and change Xiaobai’s cat food while he was at it.

Besides, he had to go to Dongzhou Technology today to check on the progress of Douyin.

So he didn’t laze in bed any longer.

Seeing Gu Yizhou get up,

Yan Luoxi also jumped off the bed and went to the living room sofa to wait for him to leave.

She had to wait for Gu Yizhou to leave before she could change back into her human form.

But it was still early, so there was no need to rush.

Gu Yizhou had to go out today anyway.

She knew that for a fact.

After freshening up in the bathroom, Gu Yizhou walked into the living room. He smiled when he saw the cat sitting obediently on the sofa. He went over, crouched down, and gently stroked Yan Luoxi’s fur.

"Xiaobai, Dad’s heading out now. I’ve put out fresh food and water for you, so you be a good girl at home, okay?"

he said gently, his voice full of affection.

"Meow~"

Yan Luoxi looked up at him and meowed, her clear, bright eyes seeming to say: ’Okay, I’ll be good and wait for you.’

Gu Yizhou smiled, stood up, and grabbed his jacket and car keys from the side, ready to leave.

He walked to the door and glanced back at Yan Luoxi one more time. Only after making sure she was all right did he close the door and leave.

Yan Luoxi waited for over ten minutes.

Once she was sure the jerk had gone downstairs, she finally jumped off the sofa, slipped through the gap under the door, and returned to room 306 next door.

Yan Luoxi entered her bedroom and hopped onto the bed.

Nine o’clock in the morning. Sharp.

It was time!

The familiar wave of dizziness washed over her again.

When Yan Luoxi opened her eyes again, she had changed back into her human form.

Yan Luoxi stretched, feeling her whole body surge with energy.

’It feels so good to be human!’

She walked to the mirror and looked at her reflection. Her skin was fair and smooth, her features as delicate as a painting, and her large eyes sparkled with intelligence.

Yan Luoxi nodded in satisfaction, then got dressed and walked out of the bedroom.

She turned on her phone and, first thing, sent a message to Gu Yizhou.

She couldn’t help it.

She didn’t want that jerk to worry about her.

Also, Yan Luoxi was planning to come clean to Gu Yizhou!

As for how exactly she would do it, Yan Luoxi was still thinking.

Of course.

She couldn’t tell him about turning into a cat yet. That had to be done step by step, to give the jerk some time to mentally prepare.

However!

There were some other things she could tell him.

For example: that the apartment next door was hers...
