Unable to find a suitable coat, she then set her sights on the bath towel she was wearing. Right in front of the white cat, she took off the towel, folded it into a small square, and was pondering where to set up a makeshift cat bed when she caught a glimpse of a cat staring intently at her out of the corner of her eye…
"..." Shen Wuqiu took a deep breath, but the overwhelming sense of shame did not subside. So she unfolded the towel she had just folded and flew it towards the white cat's head.
The white cat was completely covered by a bath towel that fell from the sky, and it hid under the towel, meowing softly.
Shen Wuqiu didn't care. After changing into her pajamas, she uncovered her bath towel, grabbed the white cat by the neck, and stared at it. "You little pervert."
"Meow~" The white cat flailed its limbs in protest.
Shen Wuqiu lifted the cat up, her gaze gradually moving down from the white cat's neck. Despite the cat's violent struggles, she still managed to clearly see the exact appearance of its private parts.
However, she knew nothing about cats and still couldn't tell the cat's gender, so she had to ask Baidu for help.
"Luckily, this little perverted cat is female." After confirming the white cat's gender, Shen Wuqiu's embarrassment at being seen naked by the cat lessened considerably.
"Meow~" The white cat bared its teeth at her, seemingly very unhappy with her behavior just now.
"..." Shen Wuqiu didn't expect this little thing to be so temperamental, but it was also quite intelligent. She suddenly became a little interested. "You just peeked at me. I was just confirming your gender. You can't be so petty, can you?"
"Meow~~" The sound was fierce and harsh, and the tone was drawn out for a long time.
"...Are you insulting me?"
Meow~~
"Alright, alright, stop scolding. Your sweet meowing sounds much better."
Meow~~
"..." Shen Wuqiu couldn't argue with this little rascal anymore. She folded the bath towel back into a small square, looked around, and locked the temporary cat bed location on the pink velvet swivel chair.
However, the white cat didn't appreciate it. As soon as Shen Wuqiu lifted her onto the swivel chair, she ran back to the bed.
"This is my bed, you can't be so domineering." Shen Wuqiu had no choice but to try to reason with her, "Look at you, you're so small, you should sleep in a small bed, right?"
Meow~~
"...As a beautiful little female cat, she doesn't look pretty when she's fierce."
Meow~~
Okay, we still can't communicate.
Shen Wuqiu took a deep breath and had no choice but to accept her bad luck. She comforted herself: This white cat has shiny fur, a plump figure, and a clean, aristocratic aura. It must be a healthy cat without any illness or disease. She can make do for one night.
After some self-consolation, Shen Wuqiu yawned and went to bed.
As soon as she lay down, the white cat, taking advantage of the situation, tried to get into her bed.
"That's going too far." Shen Wuqiu quickly grabbed the white cat by the scruff of its neck and pulled it in front of her.
The white cat met her gaze intently.
Shen Wuqiu remained unmoved and said expressionlessly, "Letting you sleep with me is already the biggest concession I've made."
"Meow~" the white cat continued to berate her.
Shen Wuqiu's patience ran out: "If you're going to be unreasonable, I'll throw you out right now."
"Meow~" The white cat seemed to understand, and its voice became noticeably more delicate, even with a hint of flattery.
Shen Wuqiu was very satisfied with this. He put the white cat down and pointed to the foot of the bed, saying, "You sleep there, and you're not allowed in the blankets."
The white cat was reluctant, but it still slowly walked to the foot of the bed, lay down, and looked at Shen Wuqiu with its melancholy blue eyes.
Out of sight, out of mind. Shen Wuqiu decisively turned off the lights, and the room instantly fell into silence.
Shen Wuqiu lay in the comfortable quilt, lazily yawned, and soon felt sleepy.
Soon, Shen Wuqiu fell into a deep sleep, but the white cat sleeping at the foot of the bed was still full of energy. After confirming that she was asleep, she swaggered over with her little cat steps.
After staring at the sleeping person for a few seconds, a faint white light emanated from her. When she looked again, the white cat was nowhere to be seen on the bed; instead, a graceful woman had appeared.
The woman lay beside Shen Wuqiu, propping her head up with one hand, her gaze fixed intently on the sleeping man before her.
Perhaps it was the woman's intense gaze that made Shen Wuqiu, who was asleep, open his eyes as if sensing something.
When their eyes met, the woman smiled sweetly at her, "You're awake."
Shen Wuqiu stared at her blankly for a while before nodding. Perhaps the woman in front of him was too beautiful, especially her eyes. His half-awake mind was completely unprepared for the strange woman who had appeared on his bed. "What are you doing here?"
"You invited me in."
"Me?" Shen Wuqiu looked at her, completely unable to recall. "I didn't."
"Sister, have you forgotten? You were the one who opened the window and let me in."
Shen Wuqiu blinked. "I let a cat in..."
"I am that cat..."
"A cat? You?"
"Is my sister satisfied with my human form?"
Shen Wuqiu looked at her, feeling strange. The room was completely dark, but the woman's face was very clear in front of her. "Hmm, satisfied."
Upon hearing this, the woman's slender, white fingers danced like nimble butterflies over her face, finally resting on Shen Wuqiu's rosy lips with great satisfaction: "Yes, I'm satisfied too, sister."
With that, the woman nimbly rolled over and got into bed.
Faced with this sudden closeness, Shen Wuqiu did not refuse.
A note from the author:
Gu Lingyu: "Meow~" "Can I sleep with you?"
Shen Wuqiu: "Meow~"
Gu Lingyu: "Meow~" "You agree."
Chapter 4 Dream
In the late spring of March in the south, there is both chilly, continuous spring rain and bright spring sunshine.
Shen Wuqiu was awakened by the increasingly high spring sun outside the window. The light-transmitting but shadowless blue and white curtains shamelessly allowed the bright light to penetrate freely, sneaking into the room and disturbing her peaceful dream.
She slept soundly, but Shen Wuqiu felt exhausted. When she woke up, her eyes were open unconsciously, and her thoughts were still lingering on the beautiful dream from the previous night.
Is it really because spring is here that it easily stimulates the hormones of all things?
After a struggle within herself, Shen Wuqiu finally decided to convince herself with the phrase "spring is coming."
Shen Wuqiu dared not think too deeply about it. She quickly rinsed off the soap and reached for a towel, but then suddenly remembered something.
Thinking of the uninvited white cat from last night, she didn't bother to find a new towel and simply put her pajamas back on her wet body.
At first glance, there was no sign of the white cat in the room.
"Meow..." Shen Wuqiu crawled under the bed again, imitating the white cat's meow, trying to coax the little thing out.
She searched every nook and cranny of the room, but still couldn't find the white cat.
Looking at the tightly closed screen window, Shen Wuqiu couldn't help but doubt herself. Could a mere cat possibly be so powerful as to open and close the window by itself?
Was the white cat from last night also just a dream? But the bath towel folded into a small square was clearly placed on the swivel chair.
This is truly bizarre.
However, Shen Wuqiu still didn't think about supernatural phenomena. She felt that it must be because she had been traveling all day yesterday and was too tired, which made her mind confused about reality and illusion.
Shen Wuqiu rubbed her throbbing temples, trying to stop thinking about these messy things.
The alarm clock in the room had been broken for a long time. She took out her phone and glanced at the time. It was already 9:30. If she didn't go downstairs soon, Su Yunzhi would probably start gossiping about her again.
As she came out of her room, she saw Shen Wujun also preparing to come downstairs. Remembering her younger brother's reserved enthusiasm yesterday, she took the initiative to greet him, "School hasn't started yet?"
The year she left, I remember this younger brother wasn't even in his second year of high school yet; he should have been a junior in college that semester.
"None of your business?" Shen Wujun retorted sarcastically, then after a couple of seconds added, "We don't have to attend classes this semester; we're going to do internships."
Shen Wuqiu didn't mind his strange question. Since they were going downstairs together anyway, she simply asked a few more questions, "Where are you interning?"
Shen Wujun remained as arrogant as ever, "I don't know yet. Anyway, the internship arranged by the school is just on a factory assembly line. It's just doing manual labor. It's not like we're actually learning anything."
This kind of assembly line operation internship doesn't really have much practical value; it's more of a social experience.
It's clear that this younger brother isn't a very good student; generally, slightly better universities wouldn't arrange for their students to intern on factory assembly lines.
What did you study?
"Computer network technology".
Shen Wuqiu raised an eyebrow. "Then can you choose your own internship location?"
"You can apply."
"So how much professional knowledge do you think you've learned?"
Shen Wujun looked at her, "What do you mean?"
"If your university education wasn't a waste, I can arrange an internship for you that matches your major."
Shen Wujun immediately stopped, his eyes lighting up, clearly somewhat tempted, but still stubbornly insisted: "You're so kind? Tell me first which unit you're being assigned to?"
Seeing his awkward little face, Shen Wuqiu couldn't help but chuckle. "We can't say now. I'll have someone give you a set of test questions later, and we'll talk about it once we're sure they're willing to take you."
"It's not like I absolutely have to go."
As they spoke, the two arrived in the living room. Su Yunzhi was sitting on the sofa watching TV. When she saw the siblings come down together, she frowned slightly, but quickly greeted Shen Wuqiu warmly, "I know you had a long and tiring journey last night, so I didn't dare to wake you up today. Are you hungry now?"
After saying that, she turned to look at Shen Wujun, and the loving mother immediately turned into a strict mother, "You brat, you never do anything productive all day long. It's already past noon, are you a pig?"
Shen Wuqiu knew that Su Yunzhi was making a veiled attack, but she didn't bother to argue. She was genuinely hungry at the moment. "Auntie, is there any more noodles?"
As soon as Su Yunzhi met her face, she smiled and said, "Yes, shall I go and get it for you?"
"No need," Shen Wuqiu said, and went to the bedroom to see her father.
Mr. Shen was eating a steamed bun while leaning against the headboard. When he saw Shen Wuqiu come in, he took another steamed bun from the bedside table and handed it to her, saying expressionlessly, "Have you eaten?"
"No, I don't want steamed buns. I'll make noodles later. Would you like some?"
Mr. Shen didn't say anything and continued to eat his steamed buns.
