Gu Lingyu nodded seriously, "Yes. Given your current physical condition, even if you have needs, you should endure them. Of course, if you're really in pain, you can pull me into your dreams for some comfort, that's fine too..."
"..." Never mind, the racial generation gap means we're destined to be unable to communicate.
Shenwuqiu is tired and longs to turn the person in front of her back into a cat.
I wonder if kissing her again would turn her back?
After staring at the person's bright red lips for a few seconds, Shen Wuqiu decisively chose to kiss them.
The sudden kiss left Gu Lingyu a little dumbfounded and worried: her sister's heat was so intense, she must feel that the comfort in her dreams was not enough, but her sister's current body really couldn't handle it, what should she do?
Shen Wuqiu silently counted in her mind, and when she reached fifteen, the person in front of her was still a person.
She had no choice but to give up, taking a step back to create some distance.
Indifferent and calm.
"Sister, does a kiss make you feel better?"
Shen Wuqiu looked down at her, her tone cool: "...No."
Gu Lingyu was genuinely worried about her heat cycle, saying, "What should we do? How about I recite a passage from the Diamond Sutra for my sister?"
"..." Shen Wuqiu's lips twitched. She walked straight to the door, opened it, and pinched her brow bone, saying, "I'm tired and I'm going to sleep. You should go back to your room and sleep too."
Gu Lingyu thought she was going to pull her into a dream again, so she lowered her head and pursed her lips, "Goodnight, sister."
Shen Wuqiu could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her expression. She held back for a moment, but couldn't help but say, "I didn't dream about you three times."
“Yes.” Gu Lingyu put her foot down again. “One dream was in the purple bamboo forest on the mountain, another was under the cherry tree planted by my mother, and yet another was on the sacred stone in the clan.”
This is truly bizarre.
She didn't mention a single place, but images would immediately appear in Shen Wuqiu's mind.
She had never been to places like the Purple Bamboo Grove or the Cherry Tree, but as soon as Gu Lingyu mentioned them, images of those places would automatically appear in her mind, and even dreams she couldn't remember would become clear in an instant.
If you calculate it that way, she really did dream about Gu Lingyu three times these days.
As for what I dreamed about her—let's not talk about it.
As the image gradually became clearer and more complete, Shen Wuqiu's cheeks involuntarily began to burn, and a sense of shame spread wildly from the bottom of her heart, making her feel extremely embarrassed.
After several seconds of silence, she took a deep breath and pretended to be calm: "Who knows if you came uninvited and disturbed my dream?"
"The initiative in a dream always belongs to the dream's owner. As for who is in my sister's dream, only my sister can decide. If it weren't for my sister's invitation, I wouldn't be able to enter my sister's dream."
Shen Wuqiu sighed. Since things had come to this point, she might as well go all out. "So, according to you, you'll be able to know all my dreams from now on?"
Gu Lingyu nodded, then shook her head. "Not entirely. Only through my dreams will I know what my sister is dreaming about?"
This is more embarrassing than standing naked in front of someone.
Shen Wuqiu was both angry and helpless. "Gu Lingyu, is this really necessary?"
Gu Lingyu was stunned for a moment, and it took her a few seconds to realize what she meant. "I can know about your dream not for any other reason, but because the babies are in your belly. They have my blood and essence, which is why we have this kind of connection."
That's it, it was all a tragic fate.
Shen Wuqiu didn't want to say anything more. "I'm really tired. You should go now."
Seeing that her face was pale, Gu Lingyu hesitated for a moment and then remained silent. As she stood hesitating at the door, Shen Wuqiu pushed her out and said, "Good night."
"Good evening~"
Before the word "An" could even land, Shen Wuqiu slammed the door shut.
Even her dreams were naked and explicit. Shen Wuqiu became nervous even when she slept, afraid that Gu Lingyu would catch her in the act again.
She decided to buy a copy of the Diamond Sutra tomorrow.

The next morning, Gu Lingyu went downstairs for breakfast feeling refreshed.
Her sudden appearance startled both Mr. Shen and Su Yunzhi.
"Lingyu, when did you get back?"
As she spoke, Su Yunzhi gave Shen Wuqiu a reproachful look and said, "Lingyu is back. Why didn't you tell me and your father beforehand? Lingyu, come sit here. Luckily, we're having steamed buns today, and I took a lot."
Shen Wuqiu lowered her head and ate her steamed bun without looking up. "Oh, I forgot."
Mr. Shen glared at her, his expression towards Gu Lingyu not very friendly either. "You come and go in such a hurry. If you leave without a word again next time, don't come to our house again."
"Alright, alright, didn't they explain last time that there was a reason for it?" Su Yunzhi smoothed things over while setting out the dishes for her. "Come and have breakfast first."
Gu Lingyu nodded to her, sat down next to Shen Wuqiu, and assured her father, "Dad, don't worry, I definitely won't do it again next time."
dad? ? ?
Mr. Shen spat out a mouthful of porridge. "Dad? Who are you calling Dad?"
We were talking about it yesterday, and I was going to call him Dad from now on.
“She probably misses her dad.” Shen Wuqiu was the first to react, afraid that this idiot would say something wrong, so she secretly pinched her waist and answered for her.
Gu Lingyu pursed her lips and lowered her head to drink her porridge.
Su Yunzhi, on the other hand, became quite active again.
"I was wondering how such a smart and clever little girl could be so simple-minded?" Mr. Shen muttered to himself, clearly not happy to hear Gu Lingyu call him "Dad." Disturbed like this, he lost his appetite for breakfast. He put the half-eaten bun back on the plate, drank the porridge in one gulp, and left the table to call Wangcai.
Upon hearing her father call Wangcai, Gu Lingyu instantly tensed up.
Mr. Shen called the cat three times, but it didn't come out. He then asked Shen Wuqiu, "Qiuqiu, where did Wangcai go today? Why is it gone again?"
As he spoke, Mr. Shen frowned and glanced at Gu Lingyu.
Gu Lingyu pretended to be dead.
Shen Wuqiu also wanted to play dead, but since her father had singled her out, she had no choice but to lie, "She was still there before I went downstairs. She probably went out to play again."
Mr. Shen grunted twice and went back into the yard to look for it.
Of course, Father Shen couldn't find it, so he called out "Wangcai" twice wherever he went all day long, even more so than Shen Wuqiu.
Seeing her father's anxious look, Shen Wuqiu had no choice but to negotiate with the humanoid cat, "My dad has been looking for you all day, when are you going to turn back?"
Gu Lingyu said innocently, "I can't change back."
"How is that possible?"
“My mother has bound my spiritual power, and I can no longer transform freely.”
So you mean you can't change back?
"I definitely can't turn back on my own, but the power Mother gave you is only enough to maintain my human form for two days. I might turn back at some point tomorrow."
"..." Shen Wuqiu deeply suspected that Ms. Daiying was not punishing her daughter, but punishing her.
Fortunately, tomorrow is the important day for the catch, so the old man doesn't have much time to pay attention to his cat daughter.
****
As summer arrives, the sun begins to rise above the horizon as early as four or five in the morning.
As soon as the alarm clock rang at five o'clock, Shen Wuqiu got up and washed up.
When she finished getting ready and came downstairs, Mr. Chen was already getting ready to leave. Seeing her come down, he frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you to sleep in a little longer and come over later?"
"No need, I'll go with you. After all, I'll be in charge of these things from now on, so I can learn from your experience."
"Aren't you pregnant?"
"The babies are both very well-behaved, and I haven't had any other discomfort since my morning sickness ended. Dad, are you planning to leave now?"
Seeing that she insisted, Mr. Shen stopped talking and said, "Eat something first, there's nothing to eat on the mountain."
"I don't have much of an appetite right now." Shen Wuqiu then asked Su Yunzhi, "Auntie, what did you have for breakfast? Can you pack some to take up the mountain?"
"We have steamed buns today, shall I pack a few for you?"
Shen Wuqiu nodded, then took his own water bottle, filled it with water, and was about to leave when Gu Lingyu came downstairs again, wanting to go with him.
Thinking that Su Yunzhi could also help take care of her daughter, Mr. Shen instructed Su Yunzhi to pack a few steamed buns for Gu Lingyu as well.
The picky cat wasn't polite at all, saying, "Auntie, give me a few more pieces of dried fish."
She could eat even tasteless dried fish with relish, and the Shen family was already used to it. Su Yunzhi said she was greedy, but she still quickly put a handful of dried field fish in her food container.
There's a difficult mountain road to the dam reservoir, and Mr. Shen didn't plan to drive there himself, much less let Shen Wuqiu drive. He specially invited a young man from the village who was a steady driver to drive.
It took us almost an hour to get to the reservoir.
By this time, it was already broad daylight, and a large number of people had gathered on the dam on the other side of the reservoir. They were discussing something, and their voices, in different tones, rose and fell, creating a lively scene.
Chapter 38 Skimming on Water
The original site of the Dam Reservoir was a small natural lake. Later, as needed, the natural lake was gradually expanded outward to become the reservoir it is today.
It takes some effort to carry out large-scale fishing in such a large reservoir.
It wasn't until Shen Wuqiu and the others got out of the car and walked over that Shen Zhipeng, who was standing in the crowd, came forward to greet them: "Uncle, Sister Wuqiu, you've come."
Mr. Shen nodded as a greeting, glanced at the yacht moored to the side, then squinted and scanned the reservoir before asking, "Is everything ready?"
"They must be ready."
There seemed to be an underlying meaning to his words. Mr. Shen glanced at him and asked, "What's with that expression?"
Shen Zhipeng hesitated, and his father grew impatient, saying, "Just say what you have to say."
"It wasn't a big deal. This morning, when we went to cast our nets in the shallow water, we saw a yellow snake in the grass. It was as thick as a carrying pole. A few of us tried to catch it, but we ended up running into the reservoir. Old Snail fell in with it. When we pulled it up, I don't know what bit it on my calf."
Yellow-flowered snakes are a common type of snake here. They are non-venomous and have tender meat. Many people catch them to eat with their drinks, let alone a snake as thick as a carrying pole.
Mr. Shen's face darkened upon hearing this. It was so early in the morning, and before they had even started their business, such an unlucky thing had happened.
"We called you here to fish, not to catch snakes."
Shen Zhipeng was embarrassed by what he said, "I never expected something like this to happen..."
Seeing that everyone was looking this way, Shen Wuqiu, fearing things might get awkward, stepped in to smooth things over: "In the mountains and forests, bumps and scrapes are quite common. Is the person alright?"
