She had no choice but to bury her less-than-cooperative little feet under her belly, while her nimble little tongue began to stir restlessly.
After hesitating for a while, she brought her head closer and closer to the ground, and finally stuck out her little tongue to lick away those few annoying strands of hair.
The gentle touch was like an annoying mosquito to Shen Wuqiu, who was still asleep, and she snorted in dissatisfaction.
Afraid of waking her partner, Gu Lingyu remained quiet for two minutes.
My sister's lips are so beautiful, even more beautiful than the cherry blossoms in my mother's garden.
From this angle, the older sister's lips also look like flowers.
My sister smells so good. If I eat more of her lips, my own breath will surely stop smelling bad.
With that thought in mind, Gu Lingyu quietly moved closer again.
They stole a kiss and quickly separated.
A few seconds later, they moved closer again, touched, and then quickly separated.
To her surprise, on the fourth time, the person in her sleep actually responded to her.
"..."
Oh no, she's turned back into human form. How is she going to explain this when her sister wakes up?
Is she going to go and gather some more magical herbs?
Gu Lingyu panicked and jumped off the bed, staring nervously at her partner, afraid that he would open his eyes at any moment.
Although my mother repeatedly warned me that I shouldn't eat the magic herb casually, well... never mind, I'd better sneak out and go find some.
Just as Gu Lingyu made her decision and was about to sneak out, a voice muttered in its sleep behind her: "Where are you going?"
Gu Lingyu didn't dare to move. After several seconds, she turned around and looked at Shen Wuqiu, who had opened her eyes at some point. Her heart was pounding with panic. "Sister..."
Shen Wuqiu ignored her and closed her eyes again.
"..." Could it be that her sister is dreaming? Gu Lingyu tilted her head and thought for a moment. She clearly couldn't sense her sister's dream, which meant that her sister wasn't dreaming, at least not about her.
Gu Lingyu was a little confused, then tiptoed closer, "Sister?"
Shen Wuqiu raised her hand and slapped her, "So noisy."
Gu Lingyu immediately shut her mouth and stared at the person for a while. Just as she was about to slip away, she noticed that someone was grabbing her sleeve.
She struggled, but couldn't break free.
Gu Lingyu was discouraged and decided to give up, so she simply lay down next to her.
As soon as she lay down, the person next to her naturally rolled into her arms.
"..." Gu Lingyu didn't dare to breathe, staring wide-eyed at the ceiling, silently reciting the Diamond Sutra in her heart.
Just when I had finally calmed my wildly beating heart, the person in my arms opened their eyes again: "You're so beautiful..."
"..." Gu Lingyu's mind went completely blank for a moment, and she couldn't remember what she had said before.
Before she could react, Shen Wuqiu had already leaned in and gently nibbled at her lips twice, then looked up and asked, "Between me and Xiancao, who makes you feel better?"
"..." Gu Lingyu's mind was completely muddled at this moment, and the only bit of clarity she had was used to resist the heat that was spreading through her body.
It seems her next heat cycle is coming early.
My partner is pregnant, how can she go into heat again?
Clearly, the person on top of her was very dissatisfied with her silence and decided to prove himself with action, so he lowered his head and kissed her again.
one.
two.
three.
...
The watch on the bedside table, after its second hand completed a full rotation, finally brought Shen Wuqiu, half-asleep, back to sleep. She pulled the furry ball beneath her out of the covers, closed her eyes again, and muttered, "Oh, it was just a cat..."
"..." Gu Lingyu, who had returned to her cat form, looked at her partner who had fallen asleep again, silently shrank back to the foot of the bed, and licked her lips with lingering satisfaction.
Although she had returned to her cat form, her little mind was filled with questions: Had her spiritual power become so weak that she could no longer perceive her sister's dreams? Why couldn't she sense what her sister was dreaming about?
Despite feeling a little melancholy, the little cat still fell into a peaceful sleep.
****
In the evening, the rain outside intensified again.
The tranquility of the room made the thunderstorm outside the window seem all the more deafening.
A bolt of lightning struck, finally waking a sleeping kitten.
Gu Lingyu rubbed her face with her little paws, lazily stretched, and then elegantly got up to survey the room. "Meow~"
Not seeing her partner, she jumped out of bed and expertly hopped onto the doorknob to open the door.
The lobby downstairs was brightly lit. Shen Wuqiu's uncle, Song Jue, and aunt, Zhao Jiujiu, had somehow heard about the dam reservoir. Zhao Jiujiu, being an impatient person, was thinking about how her niece's first shipment of goods from the reservoir had turned out to be such a big joke, so she immediately called Song Jue over.
Gu Lingyu stood at the top of the stairs for a while, and when she heard her partner's voice, she went down the stairs with cheerful little steps and went straight to Shen Wuqiu, who was sitting on the sofa talking to Zhao Jiujiu.
Meow~~
As soon as he reached the sofa, Zhao Jiujiu, quick as a flash, grabbed him by the scruff of the neck. "Oh, this cat is as beautiful as ever."
"Meow~~" It's really uncomfortable to have the back of your neck pinched. It's one thing if your own partner pinches you, but it's really annoying when someone else pinches you. Gu Lingyu bared her teeth and claws at Zhao Jiujiu.
Zhao Jiujiu was afraid that she would catch her, so she deliberately kept a great distance between herself and the kitten. "Such a beautiful little kitten, it's just a pity that she's a bit too fierce."
Meow~~~
Shen Wuqiu glanced at her and calmly rescued her from Zhao Jiujiu's grasp. "When my dad comes out later, he'll be heartbroken for his daughter."
"Your dad likes these things now?" Zhao Jiujiu pouted, her tone somewhat mocking. Noticing that a certain cat was trying to snuggle into Shen Wuqiu's arms, she quickly pulled her out. "You need to be more careful about these pets now that you're pregnant, especially since you're in the countryside and you let the cat roam freely."
Gu Lingyu was extremely annoyed by this woman who was dragging her down; she was really too rude. "Meow~~"
"Oh, are you insulting me?"
Shen Wuqiu shrugged, lowered her eyes, and casually said to the grumbling cat, "Go play with Dad, I'm going to talk to Auntie for a bit."
Gu Lingyu was reluctant, but she still jumped off the sofa on her own initiative. After wandering around the hall for a while, she walked towards the door. Shen's father was sitting in the corridor outside the hall talking to Shen Wuqiu's uncle, Song Jue.
Zhao Jiujiu looked at the obedient cat with great surprise: "Is your cat some kind of spirit? It listens to you so well."
Shen Wuqiu's eyes darted around, and she said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Yeah, she'll even turn into a great beauty, does Auntie believe that?"
Zhao Jiujiu scoffed and poked her forehead. "Watching too much TV?"
Shen Wuqiu neither confirmed nor denied the matter, and did not continue the topic. Instead, he continued the previous topic, saying, "Regarding the Dam Reservoir, I had already inquired about the situation from several fishing enthusiasts in the vicinity, so the current result is not too unexpected."
“You can put all these things aside now.” Zhao Jiujiu originally came for this matter, but after arriving and seeing Shen Wuqiu’s slightly protruding belly, she immediately felt that the reservoir issue was nothing.
Thinking about it, Zhao Jiujiu was still a little annoyed. "You're pregnant? What's the big deal? If we hadn't been coming this time, you probably wouldn't have told us, right?"
Shen Wuqiu really had no such plan.
Of course, I couldn't tell the truth like that. "...No, I just didn't know how to bring it up with you."
Zhao Jiujiu pursed her lips. "We're all family, what's so hard about asking me this?"
We've been going around in circles on this topic for ages, and Shen Wuqiu really doesn't want to talk about it anymore. She quickly pulled Zhao Jiujiu's hand and placed it on her stomach. "Calm down, when these little bastards come out, I'll make them apologize to you too. Who told them to sneak into my belly without a word?"
"Stop joking with me." Zhao Jiujiu deliberately put on a stern face, but she couldn't help laughing because she had a low threshold for laughter. "Alright, let's get serious. Have you discussed the things after the baby is born with the Gu family?"
What's there to discuss about this?
Shen Wuqiu blinked.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Jiujiu was furious again. "It's one thing for Su Yunzhi, an elder, not to care about these things, but your father isn't doing anything about it either? When that child is born, who will it be? Whose surname will it have? Whose household registration will it be under? Who will raise it?"
Shen Wuqiu hadn't really considered these issues. "The child is of course mine... and of course, the Gu family's. As for the surname... it's not that important..."
After all, her biggest worry was whether the baby would be a human or a cat.
"How can it not be important?" Zhao Jiujiu was almost furious with her. "The Gu family's son is gone. If you give birth to the child, they will definitely come to take it away. If you don't make arrangements with them now, what will you do if they come to harass you every now and then?"
The more Zhao Jiujiu thought about it, the more convinced she was that it was true. "No, since neither your father nor Su Yunzhi cares about this, I have to take care of it for you. Tell the Gu family couple to come over sometime. I want to talk to them in person, so that they won't shamelessly take the child away after all the hard work you put into giving birth to it."
Shen Wuqiu was overwhelmed by her series of worries, feeling utterly exasperated. "He's definitely not that kind of person..."
Zhao Jiujiu was a little disappointed in you, "You can know a person's face but not their heart. Now that you're pregnant, they'll definitely say all sorts of nice things to coax you."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wuqiu thought to herself—so that cat was only being a little bit nice to her because she was pregnant.
The pregnant woman's mood could change in an instant. She glanced at a cat squatting on a bench by the door, and her mood immediately soured.
Seeing that she was silent, Zhao Jiujiu softened her tone: "Of course, I'm also making the worst-case scenario plan for you, reminding you to always leave yourself a way out in everything you do."
“Yes, I know.” Shen Wuqiu nodded.
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Zhao Jiujiu pursed her lips and asked again, "You were willing to give birth to four children for someone else. Did that person really leave such a significant mark on your life?"
"Huh?" Shen Wuqiu didn't react. "What, that person?"
"They say pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, but judging from your current state, you're probably going to be stupid for over ten years," Zhao Jiujiu said irritably. "The father of your unborn child, you know perfectly well..."
Shen Wuqiu realized what was happening and subconsciously glanced at the cat by the door: "Is...it's alright."
"If you weren't deeply in love, would you have been willing to have so many children out of wedlock?"
"...I never thought about getting married."
"Still being stubborn, even though you're prepared to remain a widow for the rest of your life."
"..."
"It's a pity you two aren't meant to be, otherwise I would definitely want to see what kind of person could be so infatuated with you."
"..."
Sure enough, middle-aged people these days have quite a rich imagination and a great sense of drama.
Chapter 44 Oranges
The rain outside showed no signs of stopping, so Song Jue and Zhao Jiujiu naturally stayed to have dinner together.
