Chapter 33

Li Miao knelt on Pei Huai's bed, and soon heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.

Pei Huai is taking a cold shower.

Li Miao sat there in a daze for a while, then covered her cheeks with her hands to feel her body temperature gradually decreasing, finding it very incredible.

Pei Huai's help eased his agitation.

Her white underwear was slightly stained. Li Miao lowered her eyes and stared at the patch of fabric that was wet from something, her face turning red again.

He hurriedly returned to his bed, changed into a new pair of underwear, and took the underwear he had taken off to get water from the balcony to wash it.

On the balcony, Li Miao couldn't resist her curiosity and approached the bathroom door.

Listening intently to the sounds coming from inside, they wanted to find out what Pei Huai was doing.

The sound of water drowned out everything; nothing could be heard.

Li Miao pouted unhappily and had no choice but to give up.

But she couldn't help but call out to him, "Pei Huai, are you really alright?"

Under the cover of the sound of water, Pei Huai, who was doing something naughty: "..."

I was almost scared and used the wrong force.

“It’s alright, you don’t need to worry about me,” Pei Huai said, frowning.

Li Miao pursed his lips, deciding not to care. He had no intention of getting involved.

So she turned around, picked up her basin, turned on the tap, filled it with water, poured in laundry detergent, and prepared to scrub his underwear thoroughly.

After scrubbing and washing, he poured the entire basin of water directly into the sink.

When a basin of water is poured down, it forms a whirlpool, and the water flowing into the sewer makes a splashing sound.

The noise woke Liang Yixuan from his sleep.

Hearing a loud noise, Liang Yixuan lifted the bed curtain and looked towards the source of the sound. Li Miao was wearing short sleeves and shorts and washing something.

I just felt the urge to urinate, so I thought I'd get up and go to the toilet.

"Li Miao, what are you washing up for so late?" Liang Yixuan yawned and walked over with a sleepy face.

"Huh? It's nothing, I'm just washing my underwear." As she spoke, Li Miao had already washed the white underwear in her hands clean and even rinsed off the cleaning foam with water.

Get a clothes hanger and a clothesline, and hang the underwear up to dry.

Liang Yixuan blinked slowly, then, after regaining some clarity, looked at Li Miao with a mischievous grin and teased, "Getting up in the middle of the night to wash your underwear, you've got quite the energy, huh? Still too young..."

Liang Yixuan looked at Li Miao with an ambiguous gaze.

I thought Li Miao had a naive and innocent face, so I subconsciously thought that Li Miao wouldn't do the things that male college students like to do at night.

It seems that no matter how clean-looking you are, you can't escape desire.

"Ah...can't you get up in the middle of the night to wash your underwear?" Clearly, Li Miao hadn't quite grasped the point, nor did he understand Liang Yixuan's teasing.

"Haha, still pretending you don't know anything? I wouldn't tell anyone about this..." Liang Yixuan suddenly realized something was wrong.

Someone's taking a shower in the bathroom?!

He stared wide-eyed at the door and asked Li Miao, "Who's taking a bath in there?"

“Pei Huai is taking a cold shower inside.” Li Miao blinked her thick eyelashes and stared intently at Liang Yixuan.

"Pei Huai? Taking a cold shower?! He's actually taking a cold shower right now, did you two secretly do something in the dorm in the middle of the night?!"

Liang Yixuan's eyes widened in disbelief, unable to accept but having to accept reality.

Otherwise, what a coincidence it would be: late at night, one was washing his underwear, and the other was taking a cold shower.

Who would believe that nothing happened between them?

"Uh, this kind of question..." Li Miao's clear, bright eyes couldn't help but look left and right, their gazes wandering.

"I really can't tell you, this is a secret between Pei Huai and me."

He and Pei Huai had their estrus cycles, while his roommate did not.

This little secret is known only to Heaven, Earth, Li Miao, and Pei Huai.

"..." Suddenly receiving too much information, Liang Yixuan gasped, feeling like his head was about to explode.

Li Miao and Pei Huai actually... actually!

Pei Huai was inside when he heard people talking on the balcony outside. He turned off the shower and quickly wrapped a towel around his waist.

Hands covered in glistening water droplets slowly pushed open the door.

On the balcony, Li Miao and Liang Yixuan were talking.

Hearing the door open, Liang Yixuan turned his head and saw a sexy picture of a handsome man emerging from the bath. But as a straight man, he had no time to appreciate his good brother's eight-pack abs.

She simply looked at Pei Huai with her deep brown eyes, a look that defied easy explanation.

First he hissed, then shook his head, hissed again, and finally sighed heavily.

"I never imagined that you two would develop to the point of doing that kind of thing in the middle of the night behind my back."

"It's absolutely indecent!" Liang Yixuan said.

Li Miao blinked her eyelashes: "Ah, is it really that serious? I'm sorry."

Li Miao immediately bowed at a ninety-degree angle.

Liang Yixuan, who was merely emphasizing his shock but received such a grand gesture, was left speechless: "???"

Liang Yixuan awkwardly scratched his face and quickly helped Li Miao up, saying, "There's no need for you to give me such a big bow."

"So, you two are really together?" Liang Yixuan asked suspiciously.

"No," Li Miao shook her head blankly.

Pei Huai: "..."

"Then why did you bow and apologize to me just now? Weren't you two together and, in the middle of the night, full of energy, in the dorm...?"

“Because Pei Huai and I really did just now—” Li Miao hadn’t finished speaking.

Her lips were then sealed by Pei Huai's still-wet hand.

Pei Huai said with a calm face, "Li Miao and I are not together, and we haven't done anything messy. Don't overthink it."

"Then he washes his underwear?" Liang Yixuan asked.

"It's too hot."

"Then take a cold shower!" Liang Yixuan asked again.

"I'm so hot."

Bullshit, the dorm has air conditioning on, what's so hot about it?

Do you really think I'm a complete idiot?

"Don't worry, if you two really get together, I won't tell anyone." Liang Yixuan leaned close to Pei Huai and winked.

"What kind of relationship do we have? Even if you two are gay and dating, tell me and I'll definitely keep your secret."

"Mmm." Li Miao's mouth was still sealed shut, so she couldn't speak.

"We're really not together," Pei Huai said calmly.

Liang Yixuan observed his good friend's expression and demeanor, and saw that Pei Huai didn't seem to be lying, and there was no need to hide this from him.

"Okay, I misunderstood."

With her mouth gagged, Li Miao screamed inwardly: You didn't misunderstand! Pei Huai just helped me relieve the fever I had during my heat!!!

Meow meow meow! Meow meow can't speak, meow meow is so wronged!

"Be good, don't move around." Pei Huai looked down at the top of the boy's head, then said to his friend, "But if Li Miao and I really get together in the future, I will tell you."

Liang Yixuan: "!!!"

So what this means is that there is really a possibility of a relationship developing between Li Miao and Pei Huai?

"Sure, good luck!" Liang Yixuan patted his good friend on the shoulder. "I have to go now, I need to pee."

After speaking, Liang Yixuan swiftly disappeared into the toilet.

The large hand that had been covering her lips finally moved away. Li Miao looked at Pei Huai sullenly and whispered, "Why did you cover my mouth so I couldn't speak?"

Pei Huai pinched Li Miao's soft cheeks.

"Because such private matters should only be known between close friends and family, it's best not to tell others," Pei Huai explained calmly.

"Really?" Li Miao was a little confused.

“Of course, just like when your brother and my cousin were dating, your brother wouldn’t tell you how my cousin helped him manage his heat,” Pei Huai said in a low voice.

"It seems so!" Li Miao suddenly realized, this time covering her mouth, her eyes wide open, clever and bright: "Then I'll only tell my brother, and I won't tell anyone else."

“I can’t tell your brother either,” Pei Huai said.

"Oh, can't I even tell my brother?"

Pei Huai nodded: "Yeah, if you tell your brother, I might lose my life."

"No, my brother is super gentle." Li Miao felt that Pei Huai had a lot of prejudice against her brother.

"But if you're really scared, I'll keep it from telling your brother for now." Li Miao blinked gently, looking obedient, which softened Pei Huai's heart.

Pei Huai looked at Li Miao's bright, sparkling eyes.

Suddenly I really wanted to kiss him.

***

Early in the morning, everyone in dormitory 304 was woken up by their alarm clocks.

Li Hang knew nothing about what happened last night.

Liang Yixuan did not deliberately mention that he had run into Li Miao and Pei Huai, who were still awake, when he got up in the middle of the night yesterday.

After washing up and getting ready, the group went to the cafeteria for breakfast.

There aren't many classes in the first year. Kyoto University is a nationally renowned university, and the students who come here are all people who had excellent grades in high school, so the learning atmosphere in class is quite strong.

Li Miao had only recently gotten his phone and was at the height of his desire to explore the world. He found the phone truly amazing, as it allowed him to learn about things he had never heard of before through various apps.

During break time.

Li Miao also saw a post where someone asked if this kind of mushroom was edible and whether it was poisonous, saying that his mother had picked it outside and insisted on cooking it with meat for lunch. ①

【Meow Meow King >o<: This is a large blue-green umbrella lily! It's extremely poisonous, you can't eat it, eating it will kill you!!! You can't eat it!】

As soon as Li Miao posted a comment, countless passersby tagged the blogger, @Look at Meow Meow King, saying that eating it would land them in the ICU.

Fortunately, it was timely. The blogger quickly replied to Li Miao, saying that he had told his mother that the mushroom was the highly poisonous Chlorophyllum molybdites. His mother checked the picture and immediately admitted it.

[@KingMeowMeow, what kind of mushroom is this?]

[Greetings, Queen Mimi! What kind of mushroom is this? Is it edible?]

[Please take a look at this picture. Are these red mushrooms edible?]

Li Miao was surprised that so many humans couldn't even recognize all the mushrooms.

They answered each question very patiently.

Sitting next to him, Pei Huai saw that the boy hadn't stopped typing on the screen and raised an eyebrow in surprise that Li Miao had learned to type quickly in such a short time.

Curious, she leaned closer and asked Li Miao what she was playing.

"I'm helping netizens identify mushrooms. They're so stupid. They don't even recognize so many mushrooms that are obviously poisonous and will make them die if eaten."

Li Miao turned her head and spoke to Pei Huai.

As they drew closer, the boy's warm, faint milky scent made Pei Huai momentarily dazed, reminding him of yesterday when he and Li Miao were even closer than they were now.

Pei Huai paused for a moment before coming back to his senses, a smile playing on his lips: "So, can you identify all the mushrooms in these pictures?"

"Of course, I can tell them all apart, unless I've never seen a mushroom before, then I can't tell them apart." Mushroom-picking expert Li Miao is online.

"You're amazing! I don't recognize these mushrooms at all, and many people can't tell them apart like me," Pei Huai said.

"You can't tell either? Aren't you the champion of the math competition?" Li Miao asked doubtfully.

He had researched online and found that winning a gold medal in a global mathematics competition was incredibly difficult, almost like climbing to the heavens.

For Li Miao, distinguishing mushrooms is a piece of common sense that is as simple as it gets.

“Because we all live in the city, we haven’t been to the mountains much, and we’ve never picked mushrooms, so there are many mushrooms we don’t recognize,” Pei Huai said. “Being good at competitions doesn’t mean you’re good at everything else.”

“It’s impressive that Miaomiao can identify mushrooms.” Pei Huai lowered his voice, speaking in a volume that only the two of them could hear.

Not only was he praised, but Pei Huai also broke the rules by secretly calling him Miaomiao.

Li Miao's earlobes couldn't help but blush slightly.

"What are you talking about? Let me see?" Liang Yixuan, who was sitting on the other side of Li Miao, also came over curiously.

"We didn't talk about much, just about identifying mushrooms," Pei Huai said.

Liang Yixuan: "Let me see."

Li Miao handed over her phone: "Okay, take a look."

Liang Yixuan quickly glanced at the post, clicking his tongue in admiration as Li Miao truly knew a lot, recognizing all sorts of mushrooms.

When Liang Yixuan said the same thing, Li Miao was even happier, and she was also certain that Pei Huai hadn't been lying to him.

"Hehehe, it's not as amazing as you guys say, I've just seen a lot." Li Miao's invisible, fluffy tail couldn't help but stick up high again.

The morning classes have ended.

After lunch, Li Miao returned to his dorm and hadn't rested for long when his brother sent him a PDF and told him that he could only secretly open it when he was alone in bed.

Mysterious.

Li Miao couldn't help but be curious about the contents of the PDF document, so she quickly climbed into bed and told her roommates that she was going to take a nap.

In reality, as soon as I got into bed, I couldn't wait to open the document and find out what it was about.

Li Miao carefully read the document, but even though it was all text, she felt increasingly embarrassed as she read on.

It turns out my brother was so thoughtful. Knowing that he couldn't relieve his fever on his own, he even made a tutorial PDF to show him how to do it.

[Brother: If you're really feeling bad, try figuring it out yourself, okay? You'll feel much better after you vent.]

Li Miao replied with a warm face: 【Yes, brother, I will study hard】

[Brother: Ahem, there's no need to take it so seriously.]

Li Miao: [Yes]

He promised Pei Huai and the others that once they learned the skills, they would repay him if they had the chance.

[Brother: Haha, that's fine too. Anyway, doing well in your studies is a blessing and a convenience for yourself. Keep it up, Miaomiao! You can ask me anytime if you have any questions about this.]

Li Miao excitedly said, "Okay, brother!!!"

Meanwhile, in the laboratory, Li Xuan finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Sent it?" Pei Qingsong asked with a smile.

Li Xuan: "Hmm, it's not as difficult as I imagined."

“Many things are easier than I imagined. I’m also a little curious, could you send me a tutorial document?” Pei Qingsong asked, leaning down on the table next to Li Xuan with one hand, a cryptic smile flashing in his eyes.

"Get lost, you don't need anything," Li Xuan said irritably.

"Why don't I need it? I haven't studied it properly. If I study it well, I can serve you more attentively. Wouldn't that be better?"

Li Xuan's face flushed red, and she told Pei Qingsong to leave immediately in a bad mood.

Watching Pei Qingsong's departing figure.

Li Xuan muttered to himself, "I've already reached the pinnacle of skill, what's the point of studying anymore!"

***

“Li Miao, do you have class now? Can you come over...? There are two cats trapped on the connecting platform on the upper floor of the building.”

Li Qingge made a phone call, chasing away Li Miao's drowsiness from her recent afternoon nap.

"What? Slow down, I'm coming right now." Li Miao said as she put on her clothes while answering the phone.

There are no classes in the first two periods of the afternoon.

Li Miao happens to have some free time right now.

When he got up, his other roommates were also awake.

Pei Huai saw that Li Miao was in a hurry to leave, so he asked him what had happened.

"It was a call from Senior Sister Li. She said that two cats had somehow gotten stuck in the middle of a tall building, and the association has now found someone to rescue them."

"Let's talk as we walk," Li Miao said anxiously.

Pei Huai also made the most of the time, and quickly got dressed and went out with Li Miao.

Before Liang Yixuan and Li Hang could react, Pei Huai and Li Miao had already left.

"My senior classmates hired professional rescuers to try to save the two kittens, but the two kittens seem to have been traumatized and are in a very unstable state."

"So they want you to communicate with the cat?"

"Yes, that should be the case. I hope I can help." Li Miao's eyes were full of worry.

"Yes, we will," Pei Huai reassured him.

Soon, Pei Huai and Li Miao arrived at the specific location that Li Qingge and the chairman had mentioned.

Besides the two of them and the professional cat rescuers, there were also three other members of the same association whom Li Miao and Pei Huai hadn't had a chance to meet yet.

Without exchanging pleasantries, Li Qingge and the president saw Li Miao and quickly beckoned him over, telling him to look down at the cat.

Upon seeing the location where the two cats were trapped, Li Miao couldn't help but gasp.

Because the platform where the cat stayed was very narrow, like a beam structure, you had to be careful even when turning around, otherwise the cat might fall off.

Although the rescuers had professional equipment, they dared not rush into the rescue. A cat's life is precious and cannot be taken lightly.

The person seeking help said that the association has students who can communicate with cats.

They were thinking of calling someone over, hoping that if they could really communicate with the cat, comfort the frightened and immobile cat, and get it to cooperate with the rescue, that would be ideal.

Professional cat rescuers are a team that usually rescues stray cats and finds them homes. In order to have more rescue funds, in addition to taking rescue jobs in the same city, they also work as a social media influencer with nearly 3 million followers on a certain social media platform.

Some team members were documenting the rescue with cameras.

“I’ll give it a try, if I can communicate with them…” Li Miao said.

"Okay, keep it up," said the leader of the rescue team.

Li Miao gripped the railing with both hands, lowered her head, and meowed a few times like a cat.

Everyone looked at him in surprise, because he sounded really convincing.

At the same time, they were also intently watching the trapped cat.

"Meow~~" The trapped cat heard the comforting meows of its kind coming from above and immediately raised its head in response.

The two cats' meows trembled; they were terrified and aggrieved, too afraid to move, fearing that whatever the two-legged creature might put down would hurt them.

"Meow meow meow~ Mum~ Meow~~ Mum~" Li Miao comforted them, and the two kittens calmed down a lot.

Next, witnessed by a pet blogger with 3 million followers on Douyin and tens of millions of followers across the entire internet.

Li Miao tried her best to communicate with the two cats, and the two cats mustered up their courage and slowly moved, eventually putting themselves into the rescue rope and walking into the rescue cage little by little.

When the two kittens were successfully rescued one after the other, everyone cheered with joy.

Many people are praising Li Miao for being so amazing; she can really communicate with cats.

Li Miao was surrounded by many people in the very center, and smiled shyly.

Pei Huai, standing beside him, was also proud of Li Miao.

The rest of the time is now in the hands of the other members of the association.

Pei Huai and Li Miao simply checked on the two cats' condition; they still had two classes in the afternoon, so they went back shortly afterward.

Then he told Liang Yixuan and Li Hang what had just happened.

Liang Yixuan and Li Hang were also stunned, and couldn't help but give Li Miao a thumbs up.

Li Miao excitedly told her brother about it.

After hearing the whole rescue process, Li Xuan felt proud and honored that his younger brother was able to help.

I overheard Li Miao say that someone was recording the rescue process the whole time, and I heard that the rescuers are pet bloggers with millions of followers and influence on social media.

Li Xuan couldn't help but worry: If word got out that Li Miao could communicate with cats, would it really be okay?

Li Xuan immediately searched online for bloggers who could communicate with cats and speak cat language. She found that the most famous blogger had nearly 10 million followers on Douyin alone, and Li Xuan suddenly felt relieved.

Fortunately, being able to communicate with cats doesn't seem to be an extremely rare thing.

***

The sun is setting.

Li Miao and Pei Huai's afternoon classes have ended.

Just as everyone was discussing whether to eat in the cafeteria or eat out.

Li Miao and Pei Huai received a group message from the association.

[@Everyone, there's a gathering at Legend Bashu Hot Pot Restaurant tonight at 8 PM. No one can be absent unless there's a special reason. Our association has five new members this year, so let's take this opportunity to get to know each other. We also successfully rescued two cats at noon, so consider that a celebration too!]

【receive】

【good】

【no problem】

【Eight o'clock? Then I'll skip dinner, hahaha】

Li Miao and Pei Huai exchanged a glance and immediately replied to the group message, saying yes.

So, Liang Yixuan had to go out for dinner with Li Hang that evening.

After saying goodbye, Pei Huai and Li Miao went back to their dormitory to rest for a while.

Li Miao played on her phone for a while, then suddenly remembered something, walked up to Pei Huai, and gave him a mysterious smile.

"?" Pei Huai raised an eyebrow, puzzled.

"Yesterday you complained that I didn't know how to help others, right? Today my brother sent me a tutorial document, and I feel like I've almost learned it."

"Next time, I'll help you."

Hearing such obscene words in broad daylight made Pei Huai's eyelids twitch involuntarily.

Also, Brother Limiao sent Limiao instructional materials about masturbation.

Was he hearing Chinese?

Li Miao's brother is actually so indecent?!
