Chapter 17

The mottled red brick walls are covered with old newspapers, and the exposed red-painted central air conditioner is overhead. Warm light flows from the kerosene lamps on the old-fashioned wooden tables. Each table is separated by wind chimes of different shapes. Looking at this atmosphere and these dishes, the aroma of hot oil and the rich flavor of braised dishes waft over you.

Li Miao was very satisfied and could begin her feeding plan.

"Try this, do you like it?"

"Yes, it's very good. The food here is delicious, and the atmosphere is great too."

Guan Shiyun was surprised that Li Miao had chosen this restaurant. It was obvious that she had done her research beforehand, imagining that the playful kitten was playing outside, sniffed out a delicious restaurant, and then dragged her to try it too.

Li Miao's eyes sparkled as she saw Guan Shiyun's delight, her mood as light as a cloud drifting in the sky. However, she remained curious about the books in the study, cautiously observing Guan Shiyun as she ate.

"I'm glad you like it, sister. I don't want to read those professional books. Do you have any novels?"

Guan Shiyun was a little puzzled as to why Li Miao was reading. Was she bored reading by herself at night, and that's why she wanted to read with her?

"Sure, you're bored at night, right? I can watch a show with you."

Li Miao didn't find the evening boring; watching Guan Shiyun read was quite pleasant, though it would be nice if...

"Boredom is..."

"no!"

Interrupting the spellcasting, Guan Shiyun saw Li Miao's darting eyes and knew she was up to no good again. She was probably spouting dirty jokes, and the remaining 20% ​​was probably no better.

Based on her understanding of Li Miao, this 20/80 division was not a distinction between good and bad ideas, but rather a distinction between who had the better idea and who had the worse idea.

Interrupted, Li Miao suddenly felt that it was indeed a bit boring. This is what happens when you make a comparison: reading books is not as good as watching dramas, watching dramas is not as good as watching Guan Shiyun, watching Guan Shiyun is not as good as sleeping with Guan Shiyun, and sleeping with Guan Shiyun is not as good as being slept with by Guan Shiyun.

She even suddenly raised her voice to interrupt him. When will this woman be able to remove the surveillance from her brain? Li Miao organized the information she had gathered in the study and began to lay the groundwork.

"Can I read the books in the study?"

"Just take what you want to see. If you don't like it, just buy a new one."

"Anything is fine? I want to read those romance novels." With the preamble finished, the true intentions were revealed, and Li Miao was quite satisfied. She now felt that the evening would no longer be boring.

Guan Shiyun hadn't even swallowed her food when she looked up at Li Miao, whose eyes were gleaming. So that's what she was up to. The reason she was stunned when she opened the door at home was because Li Miao had just come out of the study? Then this little cat must have already flipped through the book and found her doodles and comments. She hid them quite well, but couldn't hide them so quickly?

Guan Shiyun hurriedly made an excuse, pretending to fall for the trick. She wanted to see what other mischievous ideas this little cat was up to.

"Of course, but I remember the stories in those books weren't very interesting. How about I buy you new ones instead?"

"No need to buy new ones, I'll just look at the ones in the study."

Li Miao knew that Guan Shiyun definitely didn't want her to find out that she posted comments in the book, as that would damage her image. So she could take the initiative and manipulate her. A smile was already on her lips.

The kitten's emotions and thoughts were written all over its face. Looking at Li Miao's smug expression, Guan Shiyun understood that the matter of being interrupted was not over.

"Then you can take whatever you want."

"???" Li Miao dropped the chopsticks in her hand and looked at Guan Shiyun in disbelief.

Shouldn't we stop her, ask her what else she wants besides those books, and then let her make her request so they can get intimate that night?

Guan Shiyun picked up a piece of meat and fed it to the kitten, smiling and chatting. She showed no sign of panic about 'making excuses'; in fact, her smile grew even brighter. Her gentle eyes sparkled with starlight. She felt she was really naughty, but it was just right to tease this naughty kitten.

"This is delicious, have more."

Guan Shiyun picked up some food for the kitten that had dropped its chopsticks, then looked down at her own bowl. She really wanted to kiss the kitten, who was now stunned after its mischievous attempt failed. She gripped the chopsticks tightly, lowered her eyes to hide her excitement, and tried hard to suppress the desire to be charmed by its cuteness.

——

"You think you're so capable? Why don't you take off your belt and use it as a scarf for her?" Li Miao gritted her teeth and recited Guan Shiyun's rant from that romance novel. Let's fight to the death!

This woman is so hard to catch, she just won't take the bait! Li Miao viciously ate the meat that Guan Shiyun had picked up, imagining that she was biting Guan Shiyun's neck. No, no, if it were really her neck, it would hurt. Li Miao thought she should be gentle, just a gentle suck.

At this moment, Li Miao still did not realize that her scheme had been exposed and that she had fallen into Guan Shiyun's trap.

Guan Shiyun watched the kitten eat its food with a vengeance. Was it angry and embarrassed? Could she say that she could see right through the kitten's emotions? It had tried everything, but all its tricks were flawed. Guan Shiyun pursed her lips, took out a napkin to cover the corners of her mouth that she couldn't control and couldn't stop from turning up. She endured it and adjusted her breathing.

"Oh, so you already saw it. Then why are you asking me? I'm going to the restroom." With that, Guan Shiyun hurriedly got up and left.

It was as if anger, embarrassment, and sadness were mixed together in that sentence, and then she fled in panic. When she got to the restroom, Guan Shiyun couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Seeing the person get up and leave her seat, Li Miao was a little stunned. Had she angered Guan Shiyun? Seeing Guan Shiyun's departing figure, a moment of panic flashed through her mind. Her actions were faster than her thoughts, and she got up and chased after her without thinking too much.

"Miaomiao! You really came here, what a coincidence."

Qi Yu didn't expect to run into Li Miao. After Li Miao's recommendation, Qi Yu thought it had been a long time since she had been to this store, so she came with her friend. She never thought that Li Miao would come to the store she recommended. She gestured to her friend.

"This is the beautiful girl I told you about, the one I met in the dance class."

The friend who was reminded saw Li Miao frowning and had to admit that she was indeed a crush. The friend next to her secretly gave Qi Yu a thumbs up. A cold and sexy mature woman, that's Qi Yu's type.

Hearing the familiar voice, Li Miao turned around and saw Qi Yu. She waved and greeted him, but didn't linger. She continued chasing after Guan Shiyun.

Is there something urgent?

"I don't know?"

Qi Yu watched Li Miao hurry towards the restroom, thinking it was probably because she was there. She couldn't really figure out Li Miao's personality; she couldn't even tell if she was simply extroverted or introverted, it all depended on her mood at the time. Several boys tried to chat her up, but she rejected them all with a glare.

Qi Yu really wanted to know whether Li Miao hadn't taken a liking to him or simply didn't like men.

Do you think she might like girls?

"Don't even think about it. Just because you've taken a liking to her, she's probably straight."

"You haven't seen her dance! It's absolutely breathtaking! Her beautiful face makes all sorts of expressions, she's incredibly alluring, sexy, innocent yet seductive—a born idol!"

In the dance class, Li Miao rarely interacted with others during breaks and seemed a bit dull, but when she danced, as Qi Yu would say, she was a succubus.

The two people who were talking had already reached the bathroom door when Guan Shiyun bumped into Li Miao who was rushing over. Upon seeing Guan Shiyun, Li Miao's panic disappeared.

"Going to the restroom? Should I wait for you?" After chuckling in the restroom, Guan Shiyun returned to her usual self, seemingly forgetting that she had just teased the little cat. She assumed that Li Miao was going to the restroom when she saw her coming.

"I'm not going. Were you angry just now?" Li Miao carefully observed Guan Shiyun's expression, afraid of missing even the slightest detail. She couldn't sense that Guan Shiyun was angry now, but she was afraid that Guan Shiyun was faking it.

Seeing Li Miao's serious expression as she asked her, Guan Shiyun smiled gently. Oh right, she had just been acting.

"No, I'm not angry."

Guan Shiyun smiled gently. She was indeed not angry. In fact, she was so happy about doing something naughty that she couldn't help but run out and giggle. Li Miao took Guan Shiyun's hand and walked towards their seats, asking her again.

"Really not?"

"Really, no."

"Then give me a kiss." Li Miao still frowned, not acting coquettishly, arrogantly, or harboring a bad idea.

She wanted to confirm that Guan Shiyun wasn't really angry and wasn't lying. Seeing Li Miao's serious expression and repeated questions, Guan Shiyun realized that the kitten thought she was angry and had chased after her.

She actually wanted to tease her a little more, but she couldn't bear to let her kitten nervously try to comfort her.

He leaned close to Li Miao and quickly planted a kiss on the corner of her mouth.

"I'm not angry, do you believe me now?" Guan Shiyun said, revealing a smile that Li Miao was familiar with. Her gentle eyes were full of cunning, and the curve of her mouth was also cunning, just like when she teased her on their first date!

Li Miao's face was flushed, whether from being teased or from the kiss that landed so quickly, she didn't know, but she was finally relieved.

But how could this woman be so mean, playing tricks on her again!

She was so angry, but this anger was different from usual. Normally, anger would make her want to throw things, but now she just wanted Guan Shiyun to kiss her again, or say something sweet, something she wanted to hear.

"Meow, your face is so red, so cute."

This woman is so wicked! She wanted to hear compliments, but why did she feel so itchy when praised this time? Guan Shiyun's words were like feathers brushing against her heart. How wicked!

Li Miao turned her head away from Guan Shiyun, that wicked woman. Looking at her made her want to hide. She unconsciously stroked Guan Shiyun's hand, just like how she wanted to look at her but didn't want to turn back, over and over again.

Guan Shiyun was surprised; the kitten was actually shy?

He responded by stroking the kitten with his fingers.

"It was wrong of me to tease you, please forgive me."

"snort!"

Guan Shiyun looked down at their tightly clasped fingers and smiled gently. So shy they weren't even going to haggle anymore? At that moment, Guan Shiyun felt a different kind of joy, a unique sense of satisfaction.

Finally, she's no longer the only one being teased and aroused in private. Will her kitten become shy because of her? Has her kitten started to like her?

"The good news is that you crush on girls; the bad news is that you've lost your chance."

Qi Yu witnessed the entire scene from beginning to end. She saw Li Miao frowning and talking to the girl she was holding hands with, saw the girl kiss Li Miao's lips, and then saw Li Miao shyly turn her head away from the girl beside her.

The worry, joy, and shyness in Li Miao's eyes were very obvious. She was no longer the blank look she had when resting, nor the alluring look she had when dancing. She thought that her ever-changing expressions when dancing were her most beautiful moments, but it turned out that they weren't.

Because none of them can compare to her at this moment, so vibrant, lively, sometimes angry, sometimes smiling, displaying a myriad of charms.

Should we still go and say hello?

"No, thank you."
