Chapter 19
When you have a feasible plan to get what you want, what do you do?
Li Miao decided to refine the plan first, making sure it was flawless. The reason was simple: after suffering several losses, she needed to learn from the experience. This slippery, wicked woman just wouldn't take the bait and kept playing tricks on her.
She's no longer the impulsive Li Miao of the past; she's now a modified version of Li Miao, a worse version of Li Miao. People never mind the trouble of doing bad things, and that perfectly describes her.
When Guan Shiyun returned home from work, she saw Li Miao, who usually greeted her attentively at the door, now sprawled on the living room sofa, staring at her phone and laughing. Something was wrong? Guan Shiyun raised an eyebrow and decided to remain still. She changed into slippers and walked through the living room, intending to change into her pajamas first.
"Sister, you're back."
"Okay, I'll go change into my pajamas first." Li Miao noticed that Guan Shiyun didn't ask her why she hadn't hugged her, whether she had eaten dinner, or what she was laughing about. This left her with no room to express herself. Sure enough, refining the plan was the right thing to do.
Look, Guan Shiyun successfully dodged the first hook.
As Guan Shiyun changed into her pajamas, she thought about the cat videos online. Could it be that the kitten had chewed up something and was hiding evidence of its misdeeds? It was quite possible.
"Sister, what did you eat for dinner?"
"Oh, I had a business dinner tonight, just a casual meal," Guan Shiyun said, feigning fatigue without asking any questions.
"I'm feeling a bit tired, I'm going to wash up first." Then he slipped away, deciding to hide first and strike later.
Li Miao was at a loss. It seemed she wouldn't be able to perform tonight. Seeing how tired Guan Shiyun, that wicked woman, looked, she decided to postpone the plan for the time being.
In the bedroom, under the soft light, the two leaned against the headboard on either side, writing and drawing. Li Miao couldn't resist any longer.
"Sister, you're so tired, why don't you watch less tonight?"
"Hmm? Okay. What's wrong? Is something bothering you?"
Seeing Guan Shiyun's tired appearance, Li Miao lost the idea of carrying out the plan. She just felt a little depressed and wanted to hug Guan Shiyun.
"No, I want to sleep."
"Okay, then I'll turn off the light." In the darkness, Guan Shiyun secretly smiled, but where did she bite?
She needed to think about it some more. However, Li Miao didn't allow her to think it over. Feeling sorry for Guan Shiyun who was very tired today, Li Miao gently moved over and hugged Guan Shiyun from behind after turning off the lights.
"A good night's sleep will make me feel better. Goodnight, sister."
"good evening."
As Guan Shiyun was gently hugged, the warmth rising on her face replaced her mischievous smile. She felt the kitten was so warm. Even if it chewed up something, she could just buy a new one. Why tease the kitten? If the kitten wanted to be naughty, she could just pretend to fall for it this once. How could she bear to blame her?
—Beside the dining table
Li Miao casually stirred the rice in her bowl, glancing at Guan Shiyun out of the corner of her eye, preparing to begin her plan with an opening remark.
"Sister, I made a friend at the dance studio."
"Great! Like-minded friends, do you have compatible personalities?" Guan Shiyun looked up at Li Miao, whose little cat-like face had a mischievous expression, as if she was about to do something naughty, and a slightly guilty conscience.
But the person who was planning something bad wouldn't realize they'd been discovered. Hearing Guan Shiyun's reply, they could start a conversation and then put a big piece of meat on their plate.
"Yeah, I get along better with her there. I even helped her smear a guy who was spreading rumors. She recommended a few restaurants to me, which I think are pretty good. Let's go together tonight."
Li Miao felt very proud when she mentioned this. She was just like Guan Shiyun, making a dazzling entrance. It's just that her cursing was too vulgar, unlike Guan Shiyun who could speak so eloquently.
His inner pride was clearly reflected on his face, which made Guan Shiyun happy as she took out her phone to take a look.
"You're really amazing, Lady Li. I don't have anything to do today, so I can skip work early and we can go out for a meal together."
"She recommended that restaurant last time, and I think her recommendations are pretty good." Li Miao ate her food while glancing at Guan Shiyun, watching her eat in small bites, her tempting lips moist. This plan had to succeed; it couldn't fail.
"These past two days we've teamed up to learn that super popular online duet dance."
"A duet?" Li Miao was still eating, and her happy and proud demeanor remained unchanged.
Guan Shiyun was a little confused. Was it because of this incident? Was she afraid of making her angry? Or was she just telling her about making new friends?
"Yes, that dance is very beautiful and has a lot of energy. Many students want to learn it."
"Okay, I understand. Making new friends is a happy thing. If you like it, then learn it."
"Can you pick me up after get off work? I want to eat the chocolate cupcakes from the shop across from your company." Li Miao's trap was already set, just waiting for Guan Shiyun to take the bait. Come on, kiss me and hug me.
Guan Shiyun was genuinely confused this time. It felt like they were just having a casual chat, but Li Miao's expression turned strange again. She seemed even more excited and happy than before. Could it be because she had a new friend?
After all, Lin Bei is my only friend I can hang out with, and she's busy with her studio right now. Forget it, even if she's up to something again, I've decided to fall for it this once.
"Okay, I'll buy it for you. I'll pick you up after get off work and then we'll go to the restaurant you want to go to."
Hearing Guan Shiyun's doting yet helpless tone, Li Miao felt as if a feather was gently brushing against her heart. Although this woman was so good now, for the sake of the ultimate success of the plan, she had to restrain herself and not look up at the bad woman who made her heart itch.
"I love you, sister."
Guan Shiyun's ears felt a little hot. Although she knew it was just a kitten who didn't understand love acting cute, the sweet words that came out of nowhere still stirred ripples in her heart.
——Dance Studio
After seeing Li Miao and her girlfriend at the restaurant that day, Qi Yu lost interest in persistently inviting Li Miao to team up, since Li Miao's intentions were impure to begin with. But things just happened to be so unfortunate that day, Li Miao agreed to the invitation as a way of getting out of a tight spot.
Qi Yu suspected that fate was deliberately targeting her, a poor little lesbian, and only granted her wish after knowing that the other person had a girlfriend. Moreover, it was only because her crush came to her rescue that she agreed, just like in an idol drama.
Actually, she still wanted to dance this dance with Li Miao. After all, she really liked the dance and liked Li Miao herself. She felt unwilling to refuse, and she even felt hypocritical and pretentious. But it didn't matter. She was upright and had nothing to fear. Wasn't it okay to just look at someone's face?
Seeing Qi Yu deep in thought, Li Miao, ever the friendly type, reached out and patted Qi Yu's face. After what happened that day, she felt she had gotten a little closer to Qi Yu, and their way of interacting unconsciously adopted the same bantering style she used with Lin Bei.
"What are you thinking about? Snap out of it."
"I was wondering if you like women." Qi Yu blurted out without thinking. Although she knew the answer already, Li Miao's answer clearly showed her what was amazing. She asked but didn't know.
"I don't like it, but I have a girlfriend."
"Does your girlfriend know about the duet dance?"
"Yes, I know. I told her."
"Won't she be jealous?" Qi Yu wanted to slap herself after asking this question, feeling like she had been too naive.
However, she asked this because the dance moves were designed to be very dynamic, with lots of hip and chest movements, but there was absolutely no physical contact.
"She better be jealous, pfft."
Li Miao's resentment was no longer concealed. If that wicked woman didn't get jealous and take the bait, she wouldn't be able to resist taking matters into her own hands to catch this wicked mermaid!
However, Qi Yu was also a little curious as to why Li Miao wanted her girlfriend to be jealous. Was it because Li Miao felt that her girlfriend didn't love her? Qi Yu felt that idol dramas wouldn't happen to her.
"You don't care about my life or death at all! You're not doing this on purpose to make your girlfriend jealous, are you? So you said those things that day so I could test your girlfriend?"
"Of course it was intentional, but what does it have to do with that day? I'm here to ask for your help now." Li Miao looked at Qi Yu with a puzzled expression, not understanding the connection between the two things.
Qi Yu looked at Li Miao with a puzzled expression, not understanding what she meant, but she did understand that she wanted to help.
"I mean, when you were cursing Ring Bro and dragging me out that day, you were thinking of asking me for help, right?"
What does Qi Yu mean? Doesn't she understand that I need her help? Li Miao repeated herself.
"No, what does it have to do with that day? I'm only coming to ask you for help now. I just planned this yesterday." She had been perfecting this plan for a long time, making sure it was foolproof.
After Li Miao repeated it again, Qi Yu understood that the idol drama plot had really happened to her. Not only did Crush help her out of a predicament without any ulterior motive, but after helping her out, she also became friends with Crush, and then Crush asked her to test the feelings of her crush.
Is there no one going to care whether she lives or dies? Does God really think she's the only one who can wreak havoc?
"Sure, how can I help?"
Having promised the little glutton, Guan Shiyun skipped work today to pick up Li Miao, carrying two small cakes: one chocolate, which Li Miao liked, and one vanilla, because the little cat had made a new friend.
Guan Shiyun arrived at her destination and slowly walked down the corridor, searching for Li Miao's dance studio. Through the transparent glass window, she watched the students dancing different dances and felt the charm of the dances that the little cat liked.
"Are you looking for Li Miao? She's over there, on a date with her lover."
The speaker was a tall, thin man with many rings on his fingers, as well as many earrings and necklaces. Guan Shiyun looked at the man pointing to a room inside, nodded in response that she understood, but did not reply.
Seeing Guan Shiyun nod and leave, the man's expression twisted, and after thinking for a long time, he followed her.
"Sister, you're here!" When Li Miao saw Guan Shiyun arrive, she rushed over and gave her a bear hug, and as expected, she heard a gentle reply.
"Let go quickly, you still have cake in your hand."
"Let's put it aside for now, we'll eat it later. This is my new friend, Qi Yu." After letting go of Guan Shiyun, Li Miao pulled Qi Yu over to introduce her to Guan Shiyun.
Qi Yu wasn't entirely justified in her wrongdoings. While Li Miao was innocent, she wasn't entirely innocent herself. Although she hadn't confessed, and although she didn't have any feelings for her now, the thought of what she was about to do made her feel guilty. Her current wish was simple: let her unspoken crush die, and never be discovered.
"Hello, I am Qi Yu."
"Hello, I am Guan Shiyun."
"Alright, that's all for the introduction. Now, let me show you our results. Come on, let's show them off." Qi Yu glanced at Li Miao, her eyes filled with terror.
"Is it starting already?" Li Miao didn't care about the expressions on the two people's faces. She only had her own plan on her mind. After speaking, she went straight to the stereo, adjusted the music, and waved for Qi Yu to come over.
Guan Shiyun watched as Li Miao skipped off to prepare, her eyes flashing with a light that made her dizzy. She roughly understood what that mischievous little cat was up to.
Watching Qi Yu walk over, looking reserved and guilty, it was a duet dance. He'd dragged a friend over to help, used the excuse of eating cake, and asked her to pick him up after work, all just to get her to watch a duet dance? He got straight to the point after the introduction, really couldn't wait.
However, even a mischievous kitten can be just as adorable when it tries to be naughty. Guan Shiyun thought it was fine to be fooled, and it was good to see the kitten succeed. Her gaze followed the person's light movements and flowed gently, revealing an undisguised favoritism and indulgence in her eyes.
Outside the glass window, the "Ring Guy" who bumped into Guan Shiyun was also watching the situation inside, seemingly waiting for something interesting to happen, his schadenfreude impossible to hide.
