..."You! How dare you...!"
Before Fu Xuan could finish, her lips once again met the lips of the petite cat-eared girl in front of her. Fu Xuan's eyes widened even more because she had not expected that this Little one would dare to initiate it again!
It was at this moment that Selene's thoughts reached her ears.
"Ugh! My head got hot just now and I actually initiated it! When did This Meow get so bold?!"
"But This Meow has already initiated it! Next, I will definitely be bullied by Fu Xuan Wife! So, I might as well initiate it a few more times! That way, This Meow wins!"
Fu Xuan almost laughed at this Stupid Cat's novel thought process. Why did she think that I would definitely bully her because of this? So, that's why she dared to initiate it again?
...Selene's arms were draped over Fu Xuan's shoulders, and her hands were placed on Fu Xuan's neck. Her index finger even grasped a strand of Fu Xuan's long hair.
To Selene's surprise, after initiating it this time, Fu Xuan did not resist; she even seemed to cooperate a little.
However, Selene herself was about to give out. After all, standing on tiptoes for so long was quite tiring!
As if knowing Selene was tired, Fu Xuan, at this moment, voluntarily bent down, allowing Selene to no longer have to stand on tiptoes, but the dynamic of offense and defense changed as a result!
Unbeknownst to her, Selene was once again pushed into a corner by Fu Xuan. Her small hands, which were originally on Fu Xuan's neck, were also held by the wrist by Fu Xuan and pressed against the wall again!
...About ten minutes later.
A heavy and hurried gasp came from the kitchen.
"What? I thought you were so bold, I assumed you were very capable? You couldn't last ten minutes?"
Fu Xuan stood with her arms crossed, looking at Selene, who was cornered against the wall, her tone carrying a hint of disdain.
"Hoo...This Meow isn't giving out, I just couldn't breathe and needed a moment to recover!"
Selene was slightly hunched over, one hand on her chest, looking a bit disheveled.
"Hmm? Your mouth was soft just now, why is it so hard now? Shall I try again?"
Seeing Selene's stubbornness, Fu Xuan's lips curled slightly. She leaned down as she spoke, slowly approaching Selene.
Selene, in the corner, instantly widened her eyes. At this moment, she had only one thought! And that was to run away!
Without any hesitation, Selene slipped out of the kitchen from Fu Xuan's side, temporarily escaping Fu Xuan's "clutches."
Seeing Selene slip away, Fu Xuan chose not to chase after her but stayed put, calming her emotions.
Recalling what just happened, she also didn't know why she hadn't rejected Selene. Perhaps it was because she had been initiated by that Little one first? So, she retaliated by initiating it back!
Yes! It must be like that!
Fu Xuan stood alone in the kitchen, starting to self-CPU, trying to convince herself...After some time.
Having convinced herself, Fu Xuan emerged from the kitchen, carrying the pot of porridge that Selene had cooked.
After placing the pot on the dining table, Fu Xuan prepared to go to the Bedroom to call Selene for dinner, as she did not see Selene in the living room.
Pushing open the Bedroom door, Fu Xuan's gaze swept across the Bedroom, but she still did not find Selene.
For a moment, Fu Xuan couldn't help but feel puzzled. Where had this Stupid Cat hidden now?
"Selene, where are you hiding? Come out now! Otherwise, the porridge will get cold!"
No sooner had Fu Xuan finished speaking than a meow came from the living room.
Fu Xuan: ??? In the living room? But I didn't see her just now?
Puzzled, Fu Xuan closed the Bedroom door and then walked into the living room, but Selene was not seen in the living room.
"Meow! (Under the sofa.)"
Selene meowed again, reminding Fu Xuan where she was.
Fu Xuan: ..."How many times have you been stuck under the sofa now?"
After rescuing Selene, Fu Xuan asked, somewhat exasperated.
Selene: ...She did not answer Fu Xuan but lowered her head, silently drinking her porridge.
"You really are a Stupid Cat. To get stuck in the same place three times, you're probably the only cat, aren't you?"
Fu Xuan placed her hand on Selene's head, teasing her with a smile.
Selene still did not speak, but her head was buried even lower, almost falling into the bowl!
At the same time, the pair of cat ears on Selene's head visibly turned pink.
Seeing this, Fu Xuan smiled helplessly. This Little one was too easily embarrassed, wasn't she? She couldn't be teased at all!
However, her cooking skills were quite good. At least this corn and shrimp porridge was cooked just right!
After the meal, Fu Xuan cleaned up the table and packed the breakfast prepared for Qingque into a box, to be given to Qingque when she went to the Divination Commission later.
Qingque, who was still asleep at this time, suddenly sneezed!
"Hmm? So early in the morning, who's talking about me again?"
Qingque mumbled, took out her jade amulet, checked the time, found it was still early, pulled up her quilt, and continued to sleep...In the bathroom, Selene held a pink cat toothbrush and stood in front of the sink, preparing to brush her teeth.
After squeezing toothpaste onto the toothbrush, Selene remembered what Fu Xuan had told her just now.
"Now you are a human, so you have to brush your teeth, otherwise, I won't kiss you next time!"
When Fu Xuan said this, she handed the toothbrush to Selene, her tone sounding like she was coaxing a child.
Whenever Selene thought of Fu Xuan's words, she couldn't help but blush.
"Hmph! This Meow doesn't want to kiss you!"
"Host, if you are unwilling, the system can withdraw the mission just issued and replace it with another mission."
"Ah, this? Well, let's forget about that one. After all, 2% has already been completed, and withdrawing it would be a bit of a loss for me."
"The system can preserve your progress! Does the Host want to cancel?"
Selene: ..."That...it would be very troublesome, wouldn't it? Let's just forget about it?!"
System: Hehehe, I knew you couldn't bear to part with it!!!
...Half an hour later, Fu Xuan changed her clothes and led Selene to the Divination Commission.
As for why they had to hold hands, Fu Xuan said, she's so small, what if she gets lost?!
Selene was also very willing, after all, who wouldn't want to hold Fu Xuan's fragrant, soft little hand?
But one thing that made Selene a bit uncomfortable was that when she and Fu Xuan walked on the street, passersby would keep staring at her!
This made Selene feel very uncomfortable, especially when others stared at her ears; she would unconsciously retract her ears and hide them in her hair!
