Chapter 54: A Wine-Drinking Romance
Su Xiaoyuan was a little flattered.
In theory, Fu Shenxing's cat was her cat, but in reality, he only came to eat cat food. It was difficult to catch him, but he would struggle and run away after just a few minutes of petting him, so she had to use force.
Today he has completely changed his personality and lay obediently in her arms for a long time without moving.
And it was the first time ever that she stepped on milk!
"You finally treat me as your mother, Xiao Shenxing?" Su Xiaoyuan asked him in a hoarse voice, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
The cat was stepping on her with all its might when the paw on her body paused and the other paw hung in the air. The whole cat seemed to be petrified and did not move.
Su Xiaoyuan grabbed his paw and placed it on her body, encouraging him, "Keep stepping on it."
The cat seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally succumbed to instinct and continued to stomp on the ground.
About ten minutes later, Su Xiaoyuan was a little confused.
Did it take that long? She had never raised a cat before, so she had no experience, and she couldn't look it up online.
But she didn't dare to chase him away. What if he was so scared that he didn't dare to step on it next time?
Her waist felt a little sore, so she was very careful and tried not to disturb the kitten. She slowly lay down so that he could step on her feet more comfortably.
The cat didn't hold back and continued to step on the ground for about ten minutes before withdrawing its foot unsatisfied and licking its paw lazily.
"Did Fu Tingyun put you into my Qiankun bag?" Su Xiaoyuan asked.
She was not stupid. In the morning, Fu Tingyun asked her to choose between a cat and a snake to take with her, and in the evening she found the cat in her Qiankun bag. How could such a coincidence happen in the world?
Moreover, it is a low probability event for a cat to get into the Qiankun bag.
The cat narrowed its eyes and uttered an innocent "meow".
Su Xiaoyuan bit his little ear and said, "Little bad cat, eat your little ear."
The cat shuddered as if it had received an electric shock.
Su Xiaoyuan was startled and hurried to check his little ear: "Did it hurt you? I didn't use much force..."
In the end, I didn't dare to bite again.
She turned the cat over and placed him on her lap and began to rub his belly.
Normally, he would only let her touch him for a short while, but today he was very cooperative and turned over his belly to let her touch him.
Su Xiaoyuan touched the belly and then the tail, hesitated for a moment, and finally became bold and attacked the furry little bell.
The cat opened its green eyes wide, howled hoarsely, and struggled to turn over.
But before Su Xiaoyuan had time to appreciate the feel of his hand, she held him down with one hand and pinched the little bell with the other, then rubbed it twice like a walnut: "So cute!"
The cat is a spineless cat.
At first, it resisted and struggled symbolically, but soon lost all its strength and means, and raised its hind legs, whimpering faintly.
Su Xiaoyuan finished her fingering for a while, then let go and poked his forehead in disgust: "Put your lipstick away, you are so disgusting, Fu Shenxing, you have no moral integrity! What are you thinking about?"
cat:"……"
Hundreds of miles away, in a dark little house, the puppet almost bit his teeth off.
When he used the soul-splitting technique to control the cat's body, he didn't expect the cat's instincts to backfire on his main soul, and he didn't expect the empathy to be so real and strong.
At first, he was just trying to guard against Xiahou's despicable means, but he didn't expect that the cat body acted entirely on instinct. In the end, he didn't know whether he was controlling the cat body or the cat body was controlling him.
When her hand came up, his mind went blank, his whole body was shaking, and he could hardly maintain the cross-legged sitting posture.
He looked down at his shirt which was about to burst, pinched his brows, and decided to return the cat body to Luoluo Beast.
He was about to make a hand gesture to retrieve his soul, but halfway through, Mao Er heard footsteps outside the temple gate and paused.
no.
Tonight, the two of them are alone in a room, and Su Xiaoyuan is a simple-minded person, so I can't rest assured to leave her to Luoluo Beast to guard her.
He closed his eyes resignedly, took a deep breath, and skillfully cast several mysterious ice spells.
When Su Xiaoyuan heard footsteps, she quickly sat up, straightened her clothes that were loosened by the kitten, and held the cat in her arms as a precaution.
Xiahou Che came back with a large bundle of firewood: "This should be enough to burn all night."
Su Xiaoyuan felt a little sorry: "I'm so embarrassed to let Senior Brother Xiahou work alone."
"Xiaoyuan, don't say that. It's my duty to take care of you." Xiahou Che added some firewood to the fire and sat down next to her.
He looked at the cat, hesitated for a moment, and tentatively reached out his hand, as if wanting to touch the cat's head.
A cold light flashed in the cat's eyes, and it was about to stretch out its claws to scratch the back of the man's hand.
Fortunately, Su Xiaoyuan was prepared and quickly hugged him tightly: "No, Fu Shenxing!"
Xia Houche smiled helplessly: "Xiao Yuan's cat doesn't seem to like me."
"He's usually free-range, so his personality is a bit wild, and coming to a strange place might be a bit stressful... I'm sorry, Senior Brother Xiahou."
Su Xiaoyuan explained while stroking the cat's fur and soothing it gently. She felt the tense little body in her arms slowly relax and become limp.
Seeing that she was obsessed with petting the cat, Xiahou Che held his mouth and coughed lightly.
Su Xiaoyuan raised her head, her hand still scratching the cat's chin: "What's wrong, brother?"
"Xiao Yuan..."
As soon as Xiahou Che opened his mouth, the cat arched its back and rushed towards him, roaring like a beast.
Su Xiaoyuan could only apologize and comfort the cat.
Xiahou Che: "Xiaoyuan, can you please let the cat stay in the Qiankun bag for a while? I want to talk to you."
Su Xiaoyuan was of course reluctant, this was her pet cat: "I'll just touch him, Brother Xiahou can say whatever he wants, he won't be in the way."
As soon as Xiahou Che opened his mouth, the cat either panted or howled. He smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it. I'll tell you tomorrow."
Su Xiaoyuan understood his hint, but didn't want to drag it out any longer. She pressed Fu Mao's furry little head and said to Xia Houche, "Brother Xia Hou, do you have a crush on me?"
Xiahou Che didn't expect her to ask so directly. He was used to probing in a roundabout way, always leaving some room for maneuver in what he said and did. He didn't know how to react for a moment.
The cat didn't make trouble this time. It just sat up from the girl's arms, straightened its body, and stared at her face with green eyes alertly.
Xia Hou Che was stunned for a moment before admitting, "Yes, I am attracted to Junior Sister Xiao Yuan."
When he said it directly, Su Xiaoyuan felt relieved.
She has quite a lot of experience in rejecting confessions.
Although Ms. Su was very cautious, she was still surrounded by many romantic partners because she was pretty and had a gentle personality, which made her look easy to pursue.
Su Xiaoyuan said: "I'm sorry, we are not suitable."
"Why?"
"I'm not the person Senior Brother Xiahou needs, so I can't give you any help."
Xia Hou Che: "In the past, I did want revenge and wanted to take back the position of head of the family, but that was before I met you."
He laughed at himself and said, "Xiao Yuan may think that I am full of lies, but I lied to you about one thing. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you, and it was I who took the initiative to become your Wushan Festival partner."
What he said was seven parts true and three parts false. He had indeed noticed this little junior sister when she first entered the sect.
Firstly, her appearance is really outstanding and has touched his heart, especially now, she has the youthful innocence of a girl and the charm of a mature woman.
Secondly, there was something special about her that was out of tune with everything around her, as if she was a lost traveler who had strayed into this place, as lonely as he was.
But he only paid attention to her and never thought of getting close to her. It was impossible for him to give up everything for a woman.
It was not until the Wushan Festival that Elder Qin casually mentioned that he wanted to choose a senior brother to guide her. He, who never paid attention to such matters, somehow took on this seemingly unprofitable task.
When he saw the priceless headband, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. Perhaps fate owed him so much, and finally he felt guilty. Maybe she was the one he had been waiting for, maybe she was his way to have the best of both worlds.
But the more he interacted with her, the more confused he became, and the more mysterious things about her became.
In the eyes of people like him, one's origin is difficult to hide and is as obvious as a brand on the forehead.
No matter how you look at it, Su Xiaoyuan couldn't possibly be from a wealthy family, but she does have a kind of detached demeanor, and it's not an exaggeration to say that she regards money as dirt.
There's also the black tablet of unknown origin, the strange puppet, and the cat...
"I admit that I just had a crush on you at first and couldn't help but want to get closer to you, but the longer I've been with you, the more I can't help but be attracted to you...
"I did think about finding a Taoist partner with profound magical powers as a shortcut to improving my cultivation. When I first realized I liked you, I struggled and resisted, but I have now realized my feelings.
"I only want you. I really like you. I am not afraid of spending hundreds of years slowly cultivating with you to make up for the defects of my spiritual roots. Even if I can't take back the Xiahou family, it doesn't matter.
He leaned forward unconsciously, his eyes filled with obsession: "Xiao Yuan, you are really a special girl. You make me feel that revenge, status, fame and fortune may not be that important. As long as I am with you, even if I have nothing, I will be very happy and satisfied..."
Su Xiaoyuan asked Xiahou Che: "When did Senior Brother Xiahou decide to confess his feelings to me?"
Xiahou Che thought for a moment, "What really made me decide to confess my feelings to you was the day you stood up to Elder Liu in front of the temple. It made me look at you with new eyes. I realized that you are better and braver than I thought. You never cease to surprise me, Xiaoyuan."
It was indeed that day that he saw the strong side of her soft appearance. It was the first time he looked at her directly and the first time his heart was truly moved.
Su Xiaoyuan thought about it and decided to tell the truth: "But I don't like you. Brother Xiahou seems to have forgotten this."
He kept talking about himself, how moved he was, how he went from struggling and resisting to deciding to have her, as if as long as he gave her a stamp of approval, she would accept it happily and gratefully.
Xiahou Che was stunned.
"Maybe it's because Senior Brother Xiahou is so rare that he doesn't really notice the existence of others."
Xiahou Che frowned: "I have fallen to this point..."
Su Xiaoyuan shook her head: "Even though Senior Brother Xiahou left the family, and you think he has fallen into the mortal world, but in the Yunyu Sect, you are still a star-studded existence, and you are still in a high position."
Xia Hou Che lowered his head. "I was blinded by one thing, and now I realize how arrogant I was. I can change."
After a pause, he said, "Xiao Yuan doesn't have any feelings towards me, right?"
Xiahou Che was quite certain about this. His appearance, figure and demeanor were first-rate, not to mention in the Yunyu Sect, even in the entire fairy world. He had seen amazement in the girl's eyes several times, and when they were together, he could always find her gazing at him and admiring him.
Even if you are just attracted by the appearance, it is still a good impression.
Su Xiaoyuan looked at the man's face in the firelight, and said in her conscience that this face was so beautiful that it was almost flawless.
She was a little embarrassed: "I think Senior Brother Xiahou is very handsome, but I just admire him purely, I don't have any other thoughts."
She had never been good at expressing herself verbally. While organizing her thoughts, she spoke slowly, "It's just like appreciating a painting or a beautiful flower."
She added, "If this is considered liking, I would have liked my puppet a long time ago."
Xiahou Che didn't say anything when he heard this, but his eyes flashed.
But the cat inexplicably broke free from her arms, quickly ran to the corner farthest from her, and squatted with its back to her without moving.
Seeing that he didn't cause any trouble, Su Xiaoyuan ignored him.
The cat sulked against the wall for a while, but no one paid any attention to it. It turned around, walked back with its head held high, squatted opposite Su Xiaoyuan, and stared at her across the fire.
But I didn't interrupt them while they were talking.
Su Xiaoyuan waved to the cat, and the cat raised its chin and turned its head proudly.
Xia Houche said: "If Xiaoyuan doesn't have a lover, why not try to get along with me? I won't let you down."
He added, "If after spending some time together you still don't change your mind about me, I will quietly leave and never bother you again."
Su Xiaoyuan did not doubt his words. Senior Brother Xiahou had a good figure and good looks, and he was an expert in love and had plenty of emotional value.
Besides, his sincerity is limited, so I'm not afraid of him getting hurt.
If she wanted to indulge herself before her death and have a good time drinking and having a romantic relationship, Xia Hou Che was indeed the best choice...
At this moment, the cat suddenly wiggled its butt, jumped over the fire and into her arms, hooking its claws on her clothes: "Meow!"
The cry was full of indignation.
Su Xiaoyuan came back to her senses and was shocked to find that her previous thoughts seemed a bit stupid.
She shook her head: "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Xiahou, there's no need to try if it's certain. If you don't like it, then you don't like it. You can't force feelings."
After a pause, he continued, "And I don't think Senior Brother Xiahou likes me that much."
Xia Houche's eyes flashed with surprise: "Xiao Yuan..."
Su Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "When Elder Liu was about to whip me, did Senior Brother Xiahou want to see how I would respond?"
Xiahou Che lowered his eyes: "So Xiaoyuan still blames me for this matter. I'm sorry... I've been used to weighing the pros and cons and looking ahead and behind for so many years..."
Su Xiaoyuan: "I don't blame you. I know Brother Xiahou has his own difficulties, but if I put myself in his shoes, if I really liked someone, I would definitely not be able to control myself at that time, so we are not the same kind of people."
To be fair, if Xiahou Che had stood up to help her fight against Elder Liu when she was most confused, helpless and frightened, perhaps that slight closeness and liking for her face and figure would have turned into something deeper.
After all, a heartbeat is sometimes just a matter of a moment.
But sometimes it only takes a moment to miss the chance to make your heart beat.
Xia Hou Che was a quick-witted person. He stared at the fire for a moment, then nodded gently, "I understand. Junior Sister Xiao Yuan, just pretend I never said anything."
He curved his eyebrows and said, "Am I still your good senior brother?"
Su Xiaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Of course."
As her mind relaxed, she began to feel sleepy and couldn't help but yawn while covering her mouth.
Xiahou Che: "It's late, Junior Sister Xiaoyuan, go to sleep first. I'll keep watch."
Su Xiaoyuan was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, so she didn't bother to be polite with him. She took her toiletries bag and went outside to wash up briefly, then got into bed with her clothes on.
The cat followed her to the bedding, crouched before the low couch, and looked warily at the man by the fire.
Only men understand men best, he can see that men have not given up.
Her clarity and her refusal, on the contrary, aroused the man's deeper interest and hunting desire.
The cat looked back at the girl who was quickly falling asleep and squinted.
How could she not see such an obvious retreat to advance?
He stretched out his claws, trying to pull at the drooping corner of the quilt, but just as he made a move, the girl suddenly opened her eyes, and at the same time, a pair of hands stretched out from the quilt, grabbed his body, and dragged him into the quilt.
The warm and sweet body fragrance wrapped him tightly like a blanket.
"I've got you, little kitty! See where you can run to!"
Su Xiaoyuan let out a strange laugh, snuggled into the quilt with him, and kissed his head, face, and stomach wildly.
After kissing him enough, she buried him in her arms and whispered in his ear: "Can you let me hold you while you sleep tonight? It's so cold in the bed."
Fu Mao's body stiffened, then slowly softened, allowing her to rub him.
The girl was really sleepy and fell asleep after playing for a while.
Fu Mao moved in her arms, put his furry little head into her clothes, buried his face between her warm and soft breasts, squinted his eyes, and stretched out his tongue to lick the thin sweat oozing from between her soft breasts.
Smells so good.
Anyway, he is just a cat now, so there is no harm in letting his soul be controlled by animal instincts.
