Translator EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yu Yuanxi and Fu Qjngli had a conversation as they watched National Idol.
Well, it was mostly Yu Yuanxi doing the talking while Fu Qingli would slide in a question every once in a while. At least, they seemed to have a pleasant moment.
Since there was nothing much left to do in the kitchen, Shen Xi and Song
Wenye were kicked out of the kitchen by Li Yuan and shen Zhangqing.
Dragging her heels, Shen Xi walked behind Song Wenye with a carrot in her hand. she was munching on the carrot as she moved forward.
Song Wenye drew close and asked Yu Yuanxi curiously, “Why are you watching
National Idol?
Letting out a smile, Yu Yuanxi reflected for a moment before responding, “Big
Brother Fu is a fan of Mr. Xixi.”
Song Wenye a.s.sumed they were watching her, so the answer came as unexpected. Beaming cheerfully, she turned to Fu Qingli. “oh, you’re fond of
Mr. Xixi? Me too
Amid nodding, Fu Qingli’s gaze fell on Shen Xi. He looked into her eyes and blissfully uttered, “Yes, I do, very much.”
She sure kept the whole thing under wraps. Her parents, brother, and friends had no idea that she was Mr. Xixi. Could Fu Qingli consider himself special for knowing her little secret?
Shen Xi swallowed the mouthful of carrot she nearly choked on because of Fu
Qingli’s sudden attention on her. Putting her game face on, she tooka seat next to Song Wenye.
Yu Yuanxi was quick to pick up on the look on Fu Qingli’s face, leading him to keep an eye out.
Song Wenye was her usual carefree self as she got into talking about Mr. Xixi with Fu Qingli. There was much to share seeing that they liked the same idol.
Coming out of nowhere, Toffeecito jumped onto Shen Xi’s laps with its whole body covered in snow.
Shen Xi flinched and pointed at the cat. “Get out. Stay away from me. Dry yourself at the radiator before coming over.”
Having been yelled at, Toffeecito timidly stopped in its tracks and meowed in resignation. The poor little thing. “You poor thing. Come to me. I won’t call you a nuisance.” Song Wenye was both tempted and feeling bad as she beckoned Toffeecito to come over.
Toffeecito?” It did not take long for Fu Qjngli to guess who the cat was.
Furrowing his brows, he was taken aback when the drenched little thing in the
Snow came zipping his way.
Then.
It leaped.
Toffeecito leaped into his arms.
Following a look of horror, Fu Qjngli froze. He was caught in an amusing position where he tried to run away yet failed to.
He never took to these little things. Never did.
Besides, it was hard to warm up to the little thing every time he was reminded by Toffeecito’s Dad.
Nearly bursting into laughter, Shen Xi gave Toffeecito the thumbs up in her mind. Toffeecito did good!
Song Wenye widened her eyes at the look on Fu Qingl’s face, barely able to keep the chuckles in. In the end, she could not help but lean over Yu Yuanxi’s shoulder while jerking hers in laughter.
She was in st.i.tches. That was hilarious. Big Brother Fu’s body language clearly expressed his rejection, but he was still forced to accept the fact that ‘Toffeecito
Jumped onto him.
It never occurred to Yu Yuanxi that Toffeecito could throw a refined man like
Fu Qingli into a tizzy. This was the first time Yu Yuanxi had seen Fu Qjngli on edge
Shen Xi cleared her throat. “Come here, Toffeecito. Don’t scare the guest.”
Fu Qingli quickly pulled himself together after the brief outburst. His clothes, especially his pants were stomped with quite a few wet toe-bean prints.
Toffeecito paid no heed to Shen Xf’s calling as it rubbed its head against Fu
Qingli while purring affectionately.
Shen Xi, “..”
Try as Fu Qingxuan may to play with it, Toffeecito refused to give Fu Qingxuan any attention.
Yet now, Toffeecito was all over Fu Qingli who could not stand its presence.
Was Toffeecito not afraid of the aloof air Fu Qjngli bore?
As she got a grip of herself, Song Wenye found a dry towel to pa.s.s to Fu Qingli. “Big Brother, why don’t you give Toffeecito a wipe. It seems to like you.” “Thank you” Fu Qingli awkwardly grabbed the towel. Gazing at the little thing in his arms, he had no clue where to start. It would be his first attempt ever to dry a cat’s fur. Overwhelmed with a weird feeling, he wanted to ask them to dry the cat instead.
Song Wenye opened her mouth. “Toffeecito stays away from Fu Qingxuan.lt never answers to him and tries to escape whenever Fu Qingxuan holds it.
Toffeecito just runs away.”
It made Fu Qingli feel important for a change. His voice softened. “Really?”
Bobbing her head, Song Wenye appeared sincere. “Toffeecito’s close to you”
Fu Qingli grinned with a strange satisfaction as he began to wipe Toffeecito dry.
Toffeecito was on its best behavior, working with Fu Qingli by laying on its side, on its back, and sticking its head out for a good rub. By the indulgent look on its face, people would think it was having a spa day.
Toffeecito cozying up to Fu Qingli put Shen Xi in a sour mood. The cat deliberately became chummy with Fu Qingli to p.i.s.s her off because it was angry at her. Great.
It could live with Fu Qingli for all she cared!
Fu Qingli soon realized it was hard to wipe 1offeecito dry with a towel. In addition, its fur got all over him. Hence, he asked shen X1, “XIXi, do you have a hairdryer?”
Shen Xi pointed at the radiator across the room. “Throw it there. Toffeecito will be dry in two minutes.”
Fu Qingli patted Toffeecito’s head. “It’ll be b.u.med.”
Shen Xi got up and glared at Toffeecito. “I’ll get the hairdryer.”
It did it on purpose!
The radiator at home was not set on high, so it was impossible for “Toffeecito to burm itself. Mom even layered a blanket over the radiator in case the temperature was too high for the cat. Toffeecito’s favorite spot to lie on was the radiator.
Song Wenye always believed that the men ot the Fu family, except Fu
Qingxuan, were out of reach while Fu Qingli especially seemed to be an unapproachable gentleman, untainted by the mortal world. Watching as he held Toffeecito and blew its fur, Song Wenye had a feeling that the gentleman had grounded on earth.
Fu Qingli blew Toffeecito’s fur dry without a care that he was covered in fur all over, despite his germaphobia. He turnmed to Shen Xi. “What does it like to eat,
Xixi?”
Although Shen Xi wanted Fu Qingli to knock it off, she answered the question, “It eats everything, especially dead rats. Toffeecito placed a dead c.o.c.kroach at my bedroom door two days ago.”
It almost cracked Song Wenye up. It was deliberate on Shen Xi’s part.
Toffeecito never feasted on that stuff. However, it did catch a rat before.
Toffeecito toyed with the rat until it died before leaving it at the foot of Li
Yuan’s bed as a gift..
