“Congratulations!”
The doctor said cheerfully, “You just have a common cold. You’re not going to turn into a girl.”
“……”
Shen Zhou felt like his world was collapsing.
‘Wasn’t he just torturing himself?’
After sleeping naked with the air conditioner on all night, he came to the hospital with a fever of nearly 39°C, only to find out it was just a common cold.
The sun had climbed high.
“Ugh…”
Song Qiuyu was awakened by the constant barrage of text message notifications.
When she dragged her exhausted body out of heavy sleep and tried to get up to grab her phone, a firm arm suddenly wrapped around her slender waist.
“Let’s sleep a little longer.”
Jiang Xiao’s lazy, magnetic voice suddenly sounded.
“I’ll check the messages first.”
Song Qiuyu patted Jiang Xiao’s arm that was holding her with her small hand.
Seeing that he obediently withdrew his arm, she continued to get up, rubbing her eyes with one hand while picking up her phone with the other.
She opened it and looked.
These messages were all from acquaintances at school, and even elementary school classmates she hadn’t contacted in a long time had sent messages.
There was shock, there was anger—every line was filled with the senders’ emotions.
She was just about to be glad it was summer vacation, but when she thought about school starting in a little over a month, she felt things suddenly became very serious.
On the first day of school, she would appear before everyone in the most shocking way! She would wear a pretty skirt, put on beautiful makeup, hold Jiang Xiao’s hand, and go to school all lovey-dovey with him!
She thought it over carefully, chose to edit a message, and then sent it to everyone with one tap.
Thus, all the senders received the same message, and their hearts were stirred with shock. Song Qiuyu didn’t think about it further.
She turned off her phone, put it down, and curled back into the warm bed.
Any further explanation would be weak; she only needed to give the necessary explanation.
After lying in the warm bed for a long time, she lazily opened her eyes again, her small body squirming to adjust in Jiang Xiao’s arms.
Her chest had already developed considerably, and being held sideways by Jiang Xiao made it a bit cramped.
But more importantly, after moving, the red plum blossoms shifted accordingly, bringing with it threads of low-voltage electricity.
How could her languid body withstand such stimulation? Some muffled moans escaped from between her lips.
Her two fair bare feet kicked at Jiang Xiao’s calf beside her indistinctly, expressing slight dissatisfaction.
Then, to her surprise, the person beside her mischievously pinched the peach several times, instantly waking her completely from her sleep, her face turning red.
‘Mm~ He definitely did it on purpose!’
She tensed up, but didn’t resist, letting her icy skin change shape between those long fingers. Her heartbeat quickened.
The person who had enjoyed pinching slowly opened his eyes, looking down at her with a smile, as if it wasn’t him who had stolen the peach, but someone else.
“Good morning, Xi’er!”
“Good morning!”
Song Qiuyu said word by word, staring into Jiang Xiao’s eyes, somewhat shy and urgent, “We should get up.”
“Mm.”
Jiang Xiao nodded.
They helped each other get dressed.
When they opened the door, they saw nothing at the entrance, so they were slightly stunned.
Then they looked up and met two pairs of eyes from the sofa in the living room. They immediately felt a bit embarrassed.
And they both scratched the back of their necks in unison.
Watching the couple who made identical small gestures, Su Luo and Song Zhao Ye showed helpless expressions, but they fully approved of the couple’s decision last night.
“Hurry up and wash up, get ready to eat. After eating, we have to go to the hospital to register.”
Song Zhao Ye said with a smile.
Song Qiuyu nodded hurriedly, subconsciously grabbed one of her boyfriend’s fingers, and led him away to wash up as if protecting a cub.
Seeing this, Song Zhao Ye couldn’t help frowning and pointing at his daughter.
“Honey, look, look! They act like we’re going to eat them!”
As he said this, he saw Su Luo look at him with a strange expression and say, “Forget it so quickly? Before, when you protected me in front of my parents, you were just like that.”
“Cough cough…”
Song Zhao Ye, perhaps recalling the past, turned completely red.
“Honey, seeing them like this, I suddenly thought of a very serious matter.”
Su Luo tilted her head.
“Huh? What serious matter?”
Song Zhao Ye was puzzled.
“How about we…”
Su Luo lowered her voice and said with a beaming smile, “Give our little darling a younger brother or sister? What do you think?”
“Ah—”
Song Zhao Ye’s face turned even redder.
Sometimes he really couldn’t handle his airheaded wife. How old were they? Still making human cubs? Not afraid the kids would laugh.
Hearing the conversation in the living room clearly, Jiang Xiao looked at his girlfriend beside him, who was brushing her teeth and probably hadn’t heard.
His smile was somewhat meaningful.
When she looked over, he withdrew his gaze, pretended to be serious, squeezed toothpaste, and began brushing his teeth slowly.
“Huh?”
Song Qiuyu was full of question marks.
Before she could ask, her attention was attracted by the sudden appearance of two white cats.
Seeing them meowing and pawing at Jiang Xiao’s pant legs, her gaze turned cold inch by inch, as if she was about to blurt out the words “slutty cats.”
‘How strange. She and her parents fed these cats every day, so why were they more attached to Jiang Xiao?’
She gritted her teeth: “Jiang Xiao, you’re a cat magnet, aren’t you?”
“?”
Jiang Xiao understood and blinked innocently. ‘He didn’t know. Probably not.’
After washing up and finishing breakfast—or rather, lunch—the four of them left the house in unison and headed toward the hospital.
But halfway there, they saw many stray cats rummaging through trash cans.
Looking ahead, three slender cat tails were hanging off the edge of a trash can.
Strangely, there was also a special feeding spot for stray cats next to the trash can today, more precisely a cardboard box.
Around this feeding spot, five or six stray cats were gathered.
It seemed the number of stray cats in their neighborhood was a bit excessive today.
The reason was probably this sudden feeding spot.
Many residents in the area were avoiding these stray cats.
After all, no one wanted to be lucky enough to get a few flea bites.
Song Qiuyu glanced at the kitchen waste in her hand, took a deep breath, and volunteered to go. Fleas? No need to fear.
As long as she retreated faster than they could jump onto her, it would be fine! But Jiang Xiao grabbed her small hand and said firmly, “Let me do it.”
“It’s just throwing away the trash.”
Song Qiuyu declined. However, it turned out she overestimated herself. After throwing away the trash, she already felt itchy.
“Not good! Don’t come over! Don’t get close to me!”
She said to Jiang Xiao and her parents, then quickly ran back to wash herself thoroughly from head to toe and changed clothes.
When she came downstairs, she was surprised to find that the cardboard box that served as a feeding spot for the stray cats was gone, and so were the stray cats.
“Where are the cats?”
Song Qiuyu blinked.
“You guess?”
Jiang Xiao raised an eyebrow.
Seeing this, Song Qiuyu knew he was about to show off, so she humphed and didn’t ask.
All the way, Jiang Xiao was trying to seize the chance to show off in front of his girlfriend.
By the time they actually arrived at the hospital, it was already 4 PM.
