Chapter 375: Chapter 375: Holy Shit! Your Girlfriend Is Cosplaying as Catwoman?

Back inside his apartment,

Gu Yizhou’s mind couldn’t help but replay the intimate scene with Yan Luoxi from just moments ago.

Her tenderness, her shyness, her sweetness—it all filled his heart with happiness and satisfaction.

He sat on the sofa, took out his phone, and started browsing the news, but his thoughts kept drifting back to Yan Luoxi.

Even though Yan Luoxi had left, her scent seemed to linger in the apartment, making him feel a strange sense of loss.

"What an unforgettable little temptress,"

Gu Yizhou chuckled to himself, then shook his head and forced his attention back to his phone.

A moment later, he received a WeChat message from Yan Luoxi: "I’m in the car now, don’t worry."

A warmth spread through Gu Yizhou’s heart when he saw the message. He quickly replied, "Okay, be careful on the way. Call me if you need anything."

Yan Luoxi replied instantly: "Okay."

After reading the message, Gu Yizhou put his phone down.

Suddenly, he remembered that Xiaobai, that little rascal, still hadn’t come back.

It had been out for the entire day.

’When it gets back, I’m going to have to teach it a good lesson.’

’Always thinking about sneaking out to play, honestly!’

Gu Yizhou thought.

As he thought about it, he got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows on the balcony, his gaze sweeping the outside world as if searching for any sign of Xiaobai.

However, there were only pedestrians coming and going outside, with no shadow of Xiaobai to be seen.

He sighed, turned around, and sat back down on the sofa, a flicker of worry rising in his heart.

Although Xiaobai was usually mischievous, he was still worried now that it was actually gone.

’It hasn’t run into some kind of danger, has it?’

Gu Yizhou thought to himself that if Xiaobai still wasn’t back by five o’clock, he would go out and look for it around the complex.

...

「Meanwhile.」

Over on Yan Luoxi’s side.

She had already snuck back into her apartment next door, Room 306.

HAAAAH...

Lying on the soft, large bed in her bedroom, Yan Luoxi let out a deep breath.

Sigh~

’When will days like this ever end!’

Right now, only a single wall separated her from that jerk.

Yan Luoxi felt she had to come up with a better plan; she couldn’t just sit back and wait for the inevitable.

After all, she couldn’t keep this up for much longer.

’I’ll contact that biology professor abroad again tomorrow and ask for more information about this,’ Yan Luoxi thought.

...

"Hm?"

"It’s already five o’clock! That rascal Xiaobai really isn’t back!"

"It just has to make me worry!"

Gu Yizhou grumbled in frustration.

He put on his jacket, grabbed his keys and phone, and prepared to go downstairs to search the complex for any sign of Xiaobai.

Before leaving, he bagged up the kitchen trash and then headed out.

THUD!

The sound of the door closing echoed.

...

After going downstairs, Gu Yizhou first threw out the trash, then made a loop around the complex, but he found no sign of Xiaobai.

He then searched the underground parking garage, but still came up empty-handed.

As the sky gradually darkened, Gu Yizhou’s mood grew heavier.

He began to worry that Xiaobai had been taken by someone or had gotten into an accident.

Just then, his phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from his best bro, Chen Dongyuan.

"Hey, Dongzi, what’s up?"

Gu Yizhou answered, asking casually.

"So, how’d your date go today?"

Chen Dongyuan asked from the other end of the line. "Are you launching a night raid on the enemy camp tonight? A real cannon barrage?"

He had deliberately waited until now to call Gu Yizhou so he wouldn’t interrupt him.

Otherwise, he would have called to ask much earlier.

He couldn’t help it!

That dog Gu Yizhou had secretly gotten a girlfriend behind his back, and he hadn’t heard a single peep about it!

Dammit!

What happened to staying single together?

"Uh..."

Gu Yizhou froze for a second.

The next moment, when he processed it, he was completely speechless.

’Dammit!’

’What the hell is this guy thinking about all day?’

’His mind is so dirty, he should just change his surname to Huang and call himself Huang Dongyuan! Honestly!’

"Piss off!"

"Can you get your mind out of the gutter for once?"

Gu Yizhou cursed, then said irritably, "I’m looking for my cat right now, I don’t have time for you!"

"Uh... looking for a cat?"

Chen Dongyuan asked, bewildered. "Holy shit! Is your girlfriend cosplaying as Catwoman?"

Gu Yizhou: "..."

"You son of a..."

Gu Yizhou was truly at a loss for words.

"I’m talking about Xiaobai!"

he said, his face dark.

"Oh, oh, Xiaobai?"

"It ran off and disappeared again?"

It finally dawned on Chen Dongyuan. "Where’s your girlfriend? Is she helping you look? How about this, I’ll come over and help you search. And while I’m at it, I can treat you and your girlfriend to dinner."

"No need, I can find it myself."

Gu Yizhou said irritably. "She had work to do, so she went home! As for dinner, we can talk about it next time we’re free."

"Uh... alright then."

Seeing his reaction, what else could Chen Dongyuan say?

In truth, he was just curious about what kind of girl could actually conquer a hopelessly straight guy like Gu Yizhou!

"Alright, I’m done bullshitting with you. It’s getting dark, I’ve got to find my cat."

Gu Yizhou said.

Without waiting for Chen Dongyuan to reply, he hung up the phone.

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP...

Listening to the busy signal coming from his phone’s earpiece, Chen Dongyuan shook his head helplessly.

After hanging up, Gu Yizhou continued searching the area for Xiaobai.

...

At the same time, in Room 306 next door, Yan Luoxi woke with a start.

She groggily opened her eyes.

She subconsciously raised a hand to rub her eyes, but froze.

Uh...

Sometime while she was asleep, she had changed from her human form back into a cat.

’Oh well.’

’Looks like I actually fell asleep earlier.’

Because she hadn’t turned on any lights, the room was now pitch-black.

Clearly, it was already late.

’Crap!’

’I wonder if that jerk is worried by now!’

The thought suddenly struck Yan Luoxi, and she scrambled off the bed...

At that moment, the sky had grown completely dark, and the streetlights in the complex had all flickered on.

Gu Yizhou’s heart grew heavier and heavier. He was ready to give up.

’That rascal Xiaobai probably isn’t in the complex anymore.’

’Just like last time, it probably ran off somewhere to play and won’t be back until tomorrow.’

’Hmm... what if it already came back while I was out looking for it?’

’And we just happened to miss each other? It’s already home?’

With that thought, Gu Yizhou decided to head back upstairs and check.

Two and a half minutes later.

At the door to Room 305, Gu Yizhou took out his key and opened his front door.

CLICK~

He had just opened the door when he heard a cat’s meow.

It was Xiaobai’s voice!

He quickly flipped on the living room lights and followed the sound with his eyes.

Gu Yizhou’s eyes instantly lit up.

There, standing on the sofa and staring at him with a dumb, adorable look on its face, was that rascal, Xiaobai...
