When Shen Wuqiu came out of the room, the people sitting on the living room sofa immediately stopped talking. Shen Wuqiu pretended not to see them, casually greeted them, and went back upstairs to her own room.
The white cat lay obediently on the bed, and when it saw her come in, it lazily meowed.
Shen Wuqiu took out the newly bought cat bowl, opened a bag of cat food and poured half a bowl into it, "Come and eat."
The white cat lay on the bed, staring at the small black particles in the bowl, completely uninterested. "Meow~"
Shen Wuqiu placed the cat food in front of her, saying, "You haven't eaten all day, eat something quickly."
The white cat turned its head away, meowing.
Does it not like eating cat food?
Shen Wuqiu opened another can of food, but the white cat still refused.
"You won't eat cat food or canned food, so what will you eat?"
"Meow~" The white cat meowed at her twice, then stuck out its tongue and licked her palm.
"..." Why does it feel like this little thing is saying "I want to eat you"?
You're definitely overthinking it.
Take it or leave it.
Shen Wuqiu shook her head slightly, placed the cat bowl and canned food by the door, then went to the bathroom to rinse them before preparing to browse her phone and go to sleep.
She wondered if it was the pregnancy effect, but she never thought there was so much about cats online before. Today, as she scrolled through her feed, it seemed like there was pet-related content everywhere, and it was quite cute.
Just as I was engrossed in watching, a hand pressed down on my phone screen.
"What are you doing?" Shen Wuqiu looked down at the white cat that had squeezed from under her armpits to her chest to cause trouble. She wasn't angry, but rather found it amusing.
"Meow~~" The white cat's meow sounded slightly dissatisfied.
Shen Wuqiu looked at the tabby cat on the screen that the white cat's paw was pressing down on, as if a sudden inspiration struck her, "You're not jealous, are you?"
The white cat stopped meowing and just stared at her with her bright blue eyes.
Kiss me!
That damn illusion is back again.
Shen Wuqiu quickly turned her head away, "Okay, I won't look anymore, please don't look at me like that."
The white cat was satisfied, and then removed its paws from the phone, pawing back and forth across her chest.
After watching the video, Shen Wuqiu understood—this is called kneading.
The two words are suggestive, but they don't imply any sexual or pornographic content. They are simply a cat's instinctive behavior when it's attached to its mother or feeling comfortable.
Shen Wuqiu still felt a little embarrassed, and gently pushed the white cat's little paws away. "I'm going to sleep. Same rules as before, no getting into the blankets."
The white cat was clearly dissatisfied, but still obediently let Shen Wuqiu carry it to the foot of the bed.
Oh well, it doesn't matter anyway. I can't transform into human form until after midnight, so I might as well conserve my energy.
A note from the author:
Gu Lingyu: "Meow~" You're looking at something ugly instead of me! My partner wants to cheat on me the very next day, what should I do? Can I beat her up?
Is it because my writing is bad? Why aren't you guys commenting? It makes me lose face.
I was angry, so I decided to give her some encouragement.
I'll randomly select one commenter to receive 1000 Jinjiang coins, ten comments to receive 100 Jinjiang coins each, and the rest to receive 20 Jinjiang coins each. You know what I mean, first come, first served.
Chapter 11 Getting into Trouble
"Meow~ Meow~"
Half-asleep, Shen Wuqiu seemed to hear the cat's mating calls again, which were incredibly annoying. She wanted to tell the white cat to stop meowing, but she was too sleepy to keep her eyes open. She could only mumble a complaint in her sleep, "Stop meowing..."
After her complaint, silence indeed fell. In her sleep, her remaining consciousness even made her mutter, "So good~"
In an instant, she seemed to fall into a soft and sweet dream, so comfortable that she couldn't help but hum softly...
She had that indescribable dream again.
When she woke up, Shen Wuqiu was still staring blankly for a long time. She still couldn't accept the fact that she had such a dream. How thirsty must she be to have such a dream for two nights in a row!
What she found even more unbelievable was that the object of her desire in this unspeakable dream was actually a woman!
She had deliberately blurred her dream the day before, which was why she had overlooked this detail. But in last night's dream, although she couldn't see the other person's face clearly, their voluptuous and alluring body was unmistakably displayed before her, making it impossible for her to pretend not to see it anymore.
It wasn't that she was homophobic; it was mainly that she had never really thought about such a thing, much less about doing such a thing with a woman.
Damn it, she actually thinks this feeling is pretty good!
Realizing what she was thinking, Shen Wuqiu pulled the blanket over her head in self-loathing as she touched herself.
"..." Why are my pajamas gone? She threw off the covers in alarm. She had plenty of time before bed last night, so instead of just throwing on a summer slip dress like the day before, she wore a long, button-down autumn/winter cotton pajama set. But now her pajamas and pants were gone, leaving only her crookedly worn underwear hanging there.
Shen Wuqiu stared at her bare body for a long time before reaching out to straighten her panties.
She held the edge of her panties with her fingers for a moment, then closed her eyes, bit her lip, and carefully moved her fingers down.
Even through the thin cotton fabric, she could still feel the dampness and mud in a certain area...
Like being struck by lightning, Shen Wuqiu lay paralyzed on the bed, utterly devastated. She couldn't accept that she had fallen into such a deep dream.
Just then, Shen Wujun knocked loudly on her door, "Sister, are you awake?"
Shen Wuqiu pulled the blanket back over her head; she didn't want to talk to anyone right now.
Shen Wujun continued knocking: "Sister, get up quickly, your cat has caused trouble."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wuqiu's eyes flickered. After several seconds, as if remembering something, she sat up. The white cat was nowhere to be seen at the foot of the bed. She searched the entire room but still couldn't find it.
Shen Wuqiu panicked and quickly got up, found her pajama bottoms in the blankets, picked up her pajamas from the floor, and quickly put them on. Without even bothering to put on slippers, she opened the door barefoot, asking, "Where's the cat?"
Shen Wujun glanced into her room: "Not in your room?"
"No." Shen Wuqiu herself was also puzzled. The screen window was closed tightly, and the door to the room was still locked from the inside. She was also very confused about how her ancestor had run away.
"That must be because you didn't close the doors and windows properly, and she ran out by herself."
Shen Wuqiu looked at him. "The door was still locked from the inside, and the windows were closed. How do you think she managed to get out?"
Shen Wujun thought she was being sarcastic, but seeing her serious expression, he couldn't help but glance into her room and casually guessed, "Did she open the window and go out herself?"
Shen Wuqiu rubbed her temples. "I don't know either."
“I’ve seen many pets online that can open and close doors by themselves after training, maybe she can too.” Shen Wujun didn’t take it too seriously. Then, he lowered his voice and said, “Mother’s river fish that she baked last winter is mostly gone this morning.”
"Did my cat eat it?"
“Probably.” Shen Wujun nodded a couple of times, not entirely sure. “Anyway, that’s what Mom thinks. And since the cat isn’t in your room right now, I’m pretty sure it’s true that she ran out to steal food.”
So this little rascal doesn't like cat food and canned food, but prefers dried fish?
Shen Wuqiu was also at her wit's end. "Did you see the cat downstairs?"
"No, I thought it was in your room."
"I don't even know where to look for it now."
"Is this cat going to run away and never come back?"
"Won't."
Shen Wuqiu couldn't explain why she had this intuition, but she just felt that the cat would definitely come back.
Shen Wujun scoffed, "How do you know? My roommate's cat was raised for a year, but it ran away when it went into heat and never came back."
Shen Wuqiu looked at him.
Shen Wujun awkwardly shut his mouth, but before leaving, he said a few more words: "Mom seems quite angry. This river fish is quite valuable. She originally wanted to give it away as a gift."
"I understand." As soon as he left, Shen Wuqiu slammed the door shut.
He leaned against the door for a few seconds in a daze before walking into the bathroom.
Standing under the showerhead, Shen Wuqiu looked herself over in the mirror again. The red cherry blossoms on the hill were full and upright, as delicate as if they had been touched by raindrops. They were indeed beautiful. No wonder the person in her dreams often lingered here...
"Ouch...it hurts, be gentle..."
"You whine and moan when I'm gentle, and then you cry out in pain when I'm rougher. You're such a difficult little darling..."
Realizing what she was thinking, Shen Wuqiu was startled and quickly poured a handful of water onto the mirror.
Looking at the smudged mirror, she lowered her head to wash her face again.
After completely clearing all these messy thoughts from her mind, she quickly took a shower and changed her clothes.
Just as Shen Wujun had predicted, Su Yunzhi downstairs was furious about the lost dried fish. She didn't even bother pretending to be upset in front of Shen Wuqiu anymore; as soon as she saw her come down, she launched into a tirade of abuse:
“I told you not to keep this beast, but you wouldn’t listen. Now look what’s happened. It’s only been one day since it came to our house, and it’s already ruining things.”
Shen Wuqiu glanced at the scratched red plastic bag and didn't defend the white cat. "It's my fault for not disciplining it properly. I'm really sorry. Auntie worked hard to roast these dried fish. If you don't mind, I'll compensate you."
Su Yunzhi snorted, "You make it sound so easy. Is this about money? Even house cats are hard to tame, let alone this wild thing you picked up from who-knows-where. Who knows what kind of trouble it will cause at home in the future?"
"Then Auntie doesn't need to worry. Since I said I would take care of her, I should naturally bear the consequences if she causes trouble in the future."
"That's what we say now, but who knows if it will implicate us..."
Su Yunzhi's shouting grew louder and louder, disturbing Mr. Shen in the room. He struggled to get out and said irritably, "What's all this noise so early in the morning?"
Seeing Mr. Shen come out, Su Yunzhi still didn't back down, but instead became even more confident, "Isn't this the good cat your good daughter raised? Look, I spent a month baking dried fish last year and it's all ruined. You said you were going to use this dried fish to give as a favor. Let's see what you're going to give now."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Shen frowned and looked at Shen Wuqiu, "Where's the cat?"
Shen Wuqiu told the truth, "I couldn't find it either. It was in my room last night, but it was gone when I woke up this morning."
Su Yunzhi quickly added fuel to the fire, "Yesterday this cat was following you around like glue, but today it stole the dried fish and just disappeared. That little beast really knows how to pick its time."
Shen Wuqiu ignored her and said directly to her father, "Maybe the cat food I bought isn't her favorite, which is why she's looking for food at home. It's true that I didn't take good care of her. I wonder where you're going to give these dried fish as gifts? Maybe I should look online and buy something else?"
Su Yunzhi: "How can you compare? This dried fish is the king of fish that our reservoir has been raising for many years. So many people wanted it, but we couldn't give it to them..."
"Alright, enough of your fuss." Mr. Shen interrupted Su Yunzhi, then turned to Shen Wuqiu, his tone softening. "It's nothing serious, we ate it. If you're free today, we can have someone take you to the West Mountain area later so you can make some plans."
Su Yunzhi was so angry she jumped up and down, "That's not what you told me! You repeatedly told me to bake it properly..."
