Chapter 67

I wonder if it was because Li Miao was tired both times.

Pei Huai was awakened in the middle of the night by the purring of a kitten on his chest.

Miao Miao closed her eyes, tilted her cat head, and breathed warm air from her nose, accompanied by the soft, whirring sound of a small electric motor starting up.

I haven't heard the kitten purring for a while.

Pei Huai still felt nostalgic for a while.

He smiled with satisfaction, reached out and patted Li Miao's head before going back to sleep.

The cat's purring wasn't noisy; on the contrary, it was low and slightly muffled, with a rhythmic quality that gave Pei Huai a sense of peace, making it a unique kind of lullaby.

Gradually, Pei Huai closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

The next morning, bright sunlight streamed into the room through the cracks in the window, landing precisely on the swollen blankets on the bed.

At some point, Li Miao transformed back into a cat-eared boy, and his sleeping posture was now that of him affectionately hugging Pei Huai's waist, with his tail resting on Pei Huai's legs.

The alarm clock rang, and Pei Huai woke up groggily. Hearing Li Miao's soft murmur in her sleep, he turned off the alarm and kissed Li Miao on the cheek.

"Li Miao, it's time for us to get up," Pei Huai gently coaxed the boy out of bed.

Li Miao's cat ears twitched; he was still sleepy. He had finished his work and shower last night, and it was already very late at night.

He whimpered twice to vent his dissatisfaction, not wanting to hear Pei Huai's voice, grabbed the blanket and covered his head, hiding his body completely under the blanket.

Pei Huai got up, changed his clothes, his black hair was messy. He looked down at his belt, glanced at Li Miao who was still lazing in bed, and smiled slightly.

If you don't want to get up, then don't get up.

After getting up and washing up, Pei Huai tidied up the bedroom next door, then went into the kitchen to make simple sandwiches, heated up some milk, and set out the plates before bringing them into the room.

After sleeping for more than half an hour, when Li Miao was woken up for the second time, her eyes were still a little dazed.

I got up and dressed, stretching lazily as usual. My whole body ached, and my private parts felt tingly and numb.

Slowly realizing what was causing the pain, Li Miao's cheeks flushed red, her thick eyelashes trembled, and she looked at Pei Huai with embarrassment.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Pei Huai placed the breakfast by the bedside and leaned over to ask with concern.

Li Miao was too embarrassed to say that, so he shook his head and said, "No, it's just that my back and legs are a little sore. I'll be fine after a short rest."

"Really?" Pei Huai raised an eyebrow, his dark eyes revealing a hint of mockery.

"Baby isn't hiding anything from me, is she?" Pei Huai said calmly.

His gaze moved downwards and lingered on Li Miao's buttocks.

Li Miao shuddered and immediately bristled.

“Where are you looking? My butt doesn’t hurt. Don’t think you’re so great. I don’t feel anything at all.” Li Miao said seriously. “Really, I’m not lying.”

Pei Huai stared at him quietly for a few seconds, almost unable to suppress a soft laugh. He coughed lightly, his expression serious, and did not press the matter further.

I just let Li Miao eat breakfast first.

"Wow, this looks really good." Li Miao's attention was immediately focused on the plate, the homemade sandwich that Pei Huai had made himself.

Homemade food always has the best ingredients. The two slices of bread were toasted until golden brown, and the meat and vegetables inside were so plentiful they were practically overflowing.

The meat included ham, bacon, and beef patties, and Li Miao's mouth was already watering uncontrollably.

"Little glutton, eat up." Pei Huai pinched Li Miao's soft cheek.

"Hehe." With such a good thing in front of him, Li Miao temporarily disregarded Pei Huai pinching his cheek, quickly finished washing up, and began to enjoy his breakfast.

The doorbell rang, and Li Miao asked Pei Huai in confusion if he had bought something so early in the morning.

"Okay, you continue eating your breakfast, I'll go get it." Pei Huai said, then turned and left the bedroom.

Li Miao didn't pay attention to what Pei Huai bought. After slowly enjoying his breakfast, he took off his pajamas and prepared to get up.

Just then, Pei Huai came in with the medicine that had just been delivered.

They said they would apply medicine to Li Miao.

"Apply medicine? There's nothing wrong with my body, I don't need any medicine." Li Miao looked down and saw that he only had two hickeys and marks left by Pei Huai yesterday.

"Miaomiao, are you sure you don't feel any pain at all?" Pei Huai walked over and gently patted Miaomiao's full and perky buttocks.

Li Miao immediately winced in pain.

Pei Huai's eyelids twitched, thinking that he had hit too hard just now, and he immediately apologized.

"Uh, actually it's not that you hit too hard." Li Miao blushed, looking at Pei Huai, unsure of what to say next.

"Lie down and I'll apply some medicine for you." Pei Huai smiled and went to the bathroom to wash his hands before returning.

Li Miao's expression changed, "Your medicine... you don't mean to use your hands, do you?"

Pei Huai: "Of course we have to use our hands."

Li Miao was so shocked that she immediately jumped out of bed and refused to apply any more medicine.

He tried to run to the other side, but Pei Huai's long, strong arm swept around his slender waist.

The runaway kitten was caught and brought back.

"No, I don't want the medicine applied, please don't!"

Li Miao Cat: o(>﹏<)o No way!

He even let out his tail to block Pei Huai from pulling down his pants.

"Cough, Miaomiao, don't be embarrassed. We did everything we could yesterday. If you don't take the medicine, it will hurt when you sit on the bench in class later."

"If you don't need the medicine, that's fine too. I'll bring a cushion to the classroom."

Li Miao was taken aback, then turned her head and said, "Wouldn't that be like trying to hide something obvious? Many people already think we're together, and if we bring a cushion to the classroom, it will be even more obvious."

“Yes, so I think Miaomiao should still apply the medicine. What do you think?” Pei Huai’s eyes were filled with a gentle smile.

“Don’t be shy in front of me,” Pei Huai said again.

Hesitating, Li Miao lay down on the bed, resting his delicate chin on the soft pillow. He turned his head and watched as Pei Huai put on his gloves.

"Do we really have to...use our hands?" Li Miao's face flushed.

“Yes, this way the medicine can be applied more evenly.” Pei Huai’s eyes were serious, without any hint of teasing or mockery.

Li Miao buried her head in the pillow, as if she were about to die a heroic death, and shouted, "Then go for it!"

Pei Huai, who misheard for a second: "..."

He leaned closer and lowered his eyes, amused by the tail that was clinging tightly to him.

"Miaomiao, lift your tail up," Pei Huai said. "I can't apply the medicine if you're blocking the way."

Li Miao: "..."

His whole face was burning with embarrassment.

Tail up... Tail up!
