Miss Cat placed her cell phone on herself and, following the method Su Li had taught her, opened the app and started playing the video.
After watching the video for a while, Miss Cat began searching her room, intending to find a piece of paper to take notes while learning.
But she soon realized that her room was far too sparse—there was nothing at all.
Her gaze swept across the room.
The smell of mildew mixed with bleach seeped through the cracks in the door.
Miss Cat tiptoed over the dark puddles in the hallway.
A brick lay on one of the puddles—it was something she had picked up to use as a stepping stone.
These puddles were not caused by her.
She didn’t know why the water flowed toward her living space.
It took three turns of the key to unlock the iron-edged wooden door, the hinges squealing like an old cat hissing.
The room was not very large; in fact, she could take it all in at a single glance.
The six-square-meter space was split in half by stacked cardboard boxes.
In the front half sat plastic stools discarded from the convenience store, with supplies the store clerk had given her placed on top.
The back half was made into a bed using two cardboard boxes that once carried beer. The edges of the worn blanket still collected plenty of dust.
The only small window was covered with supermarket flyers, casting blurred squares of light onto the concrete floor.
Miss Cat crouched in the corner, lifting a peeling waterproof sheet to reveal an iron candy tin hidden underneath.
It was her “safe” for storing important items.
At the time, it did not contain money. Instead, it held the Little Fish Snacks she had bought as a reward for herself.
Traces of rainwater had crept along the ceiling, forming crooked rivers.
In several places, where the leaks were worse, Miss Cat patched the ceiling with paper to barely block the water.
To charge her phone, she had to stand on a stool to reach the wobbly power strip, the cord dangling like a spider’s silk ready to snap.
Although the house was run-down, it provided her with a place to stay.
Miss Cat recalled Su Li’s words and looked at the key in her hand. She did not want to trouble Su Li.
So she sat back on her cardboard box bed and focused seriously on her phone.
If she could learn to read and write, she could earn lots and lots of money and help relieve some of Su Li’s pressure.
By the time she moved into Su Li’s home, there would be no major issues.
She had lived in even worse places when following her pooper-scooper, so she did not think her life was particularly hard.
…
Su Li carefully helped Bai Huizi wash her body.
Her slender, fair fingers glided over Bai Huizi, using skilled massage techniques to relieve her stress.
Many girls who had once been exhausted from the Eroge Male Lead Li You’s antics had chosen to receive Su Li’s cleaning service.
This massage technique helped them release fatigue.
After regaining their energy, many of these girls would choose to continue the service.
In this way, they could earn a fair amount of money.
“Having Little Su Li’s help makes my fatigue disappear completely,” Bai Huizi said.
“I really wish I could keep Little Su Li by my side. That way, after getting tired, I could receive her massages. Thinking about it, it’s such a happy thing.”
Su Li applied shampoo to Bai Huizi’s head, her fingers gently massaging her scalp.
“It is my honor to serve Sister Bai.”
“Besides, I do not find this work tiring at all. Providing service to Sister Bai is, for me, a happy thing.”
Hearing Su Li’s words, Bai Huizi’s lips curved slightly.
“When you say that, I feel an urge to kiss you hard.”
“If Sister Bai wants to, just tell me,” Su Li replied.
Water from the shower head splashed Bai Huizi’s back, droplets running down the grooves of her spine.
Bai Huizi leaned lazily against the bathroom tiles, her full, pale contours rising and falling with each breath.
When Su Li squeezed shower gel onto the bath ball, Bai Huizi suddenly turned, her wet curls clinging to her collarbone, water trails tracing her waistline.
As the foam slid over her flat stomach, Bai Huizi grabbed Su Li’s wrist, pulling her toward her side.
Her damp nails pressed into Su Li’s palm, spreading the dense foam.
As water ran over her chest, the curls clung to her hollow collarbone, quivering slightly with her breath.
The peach-scented shower gel mixed with her lingering perfume.
Su Li wiped the bath ball across her shoulder blades, watching the foam flow into the crease of her waist and down to her hips.
Water droplets splashed as Bai Huizi tilted her head, wetting Su Li’s eyelashes.
When Bai Huizi turned, the tips of her hair caught in the mist, water marks rising, and her soaked bathrobe clung to her body, outlining smooth lines.
Seeing Su Li’s clothing dampened by the mist, Bai Huizi suddenly pulled her closer, her breath carrying the scent of the shower to Su Li’s ear.
“Thanks to Little Su Li, I feel much better now.”
Before finishing, Bai Huizi pressed close, touching Su Li’s forehead and pulling her into the warm water.
When the water noise subsided, Bai Huizi sat on the bathroom stool, letting Su Li crouch to tidy her.
Glistening droplets slid down her ankles, spreading tiny ripples on the tiles.
“Be extra careful here,” she said, curling her toes to touch Su Li’s wrist, the corners of her eyes tinged with a faint red from the heat.
Su Li silently continued, using the towel to gently wipe the wet skin, removing all remaining foam.
Since Bai Huizi had given the order, Su Li naturally ensured she was completely clean.
After all, Su Li did not know what other commands Bai Huizi might give her, so when providing service, the sensory experience would be better.
“Have you been in contact with her recently?” Bai Huizi asked softly.
“Her?” Even though Su Li had guessed who Bai Huizi meant, she pretended not to know.
“Shen Cishu. Have you been in contact recently?”
“No.” Su Li shook her head. She had already reported her last service for Shen Cishu to Bai Huizi.
Later, Bai Huizi had suddenly wanted her to roleplay as Shen Cishu.
But compared to the reward Bai Huizi gave her, providing service for Bai Huizi was slightly more rewarding.
So Su Li did not mind much.
“Oh, I see.”
“But it’s okay. I remember she is about to become your teacher, right?”
“If anything interesting happens, don’t forget to report to me.”
“I will send a transfer based on your report.”
“Little Su Li, you have to make the most of this opportunity~”
