Chapter 85: It’s Fine, I’ll Handle It!
Mu Yi wanted to raise a cat, not because she had too much free time or because she wanted a cat around whenever she liked.
It was because her novel happened to have a storyline where the main character raised a cat, but in real life, she had never taken care of cats or dogs before.
If she gained real experience raising a cat, writing those scenes would probably become much easier and more natural.
The little author still had not realized that she had slowly gotten used to personally experiencing things before writing about them, instead of gathering experience from other places like before.
For example, from other people’s novels or from her online group chats.
She honestly told Gu Zhiren about her plan, believing he would not refuse.
The result was both good and bad.
Gu Zhiren agreed very quickly and even directly gave the cat to her.
But he also seriously warned her that in the future, he did not want to hear any excuse related to the cat when it came to delaying her writing.
For example…
[The kitten bit and scratched my computer screen.]
[The kitten hid my phone.]
[The kitten keeps lying on the keyboard and won’t move.]
[The kitten won’t let go of my arm.]
“H-Hey! Do I really look like that kind of person? Little Chubby, can you have a little faith in your Brother Mu?”
Mu Yi did not want to argue with her childhood friend. She simply puffed out her chest, frowned while glaring at him, then could not help stretching out her right leg to lightly kick him.
Gu Zhiren only raised an eyebrow and smiled without saying anything.
“I already agreed to your condition, so you can go rest now!”
She grabbed the medicine and bandages from him, motioned toward the door with her chin, and unscrewed the medicine bottle cap.
But clearly, Gu Zhiren still did not really want to leave.
After all, the video Mu Yi promised still had not been recorded.
Maybe she forgot about it.
Or maybe she was pretending not to remember on purpose.
Still, he did not directly ask her to film it.
He only lowered his eyes and glanced at Mu Yi’s left foot. For some reason, it just looked so delicate and pitiful.
He could not feel at ease letting her handle it herself. He still wanted to personally take care of it.
Then the girl looked back at him again, putting on that cold and calm expression once more.
“You’re still not leaving? Want to stay and sleep with me? One bed, one pillow kind of sleep?”
Hearing this, Gu Zhiren stayed silent. He casually glanced at what Mu Yi was wearing and instantly took a deep breath.
Then he turned his head toward the door and curled his lips slightly.
Forget the video.
He already felt like he had received an amazing birthday present today~
“Get some proper rest. Also, if you’re not updating tonight, remember to ask for leave.”
After saying that, Gu Zhiren gave one final look at the messy white stockings on the bed. His expression shifted slightly before quickly returning to normal.
Then he directly turned around and left the room.
“......”
Mu Yi stared at the closed door and quietly sighed in relief.
Finally gone.
If she stayed alone with him any longer, she felt like she would go crazy. Her thoughts were already a complete mess.
Mu Yi hesitantly glanced at the white stockings again. The embarrassing memory instantly made her want to dig a hole and bury herself alive.
He actually took off her stockings!
And from that angle, it felt like he could probably see...
Mmm...
Mu Yi’s pretty face immediately turned red.
Speaking of which, the video still had not been recorded.
Did he forget about it?
Would he suddenly remember one day and rush over demanding she make up for it?
Forget it. She would think about that later.
Looking down at the medicine, she then turned toward her phone and thought for a moment.
Right away, she picked up her phone and quickly uploaded the draft she had written earlier that afternoon.
It was already 11:30 at night.
She wondered how many night owls were still awake.
………………………
At the same time, TikTok videos kept playing on Gu Anran’s phone while she lay bored in her hospital bed.
Today’s videos were still full of crazy content. Someone was actually using money to tempt couples, asking the girlfriend to allow her boyfriend to kiss his female friend.
And it was even a French kiss... for ten seconds!
The problem was, someone really fell for it. The girl could not resist the temptation of five thousand yuan.
After watching the girlfriend suddenly change expression and start fighting with her boyfriend right after the kiss, Gu Anran clicked her tongue and quickly closed the app. Then she opened Egg Bun Website Novels instead.
“Oh? What a coincidence, my little canned fish just updated? And it’s five thousand words too!”
So she really was writing seriously~
Gu Anran smiled in satisfaction and nodded. But after thinking about it again, she could not help frowning slightly. She felt that her brother might have already been disliked.
Otherwise, why would Mu Yi insist so firmly on making her call him back?
If the little brother-in-law does not like him, then how can he chase after the younger sister?
Speaking of which, she also wondered how Mu Shuang and her brother got along today. Did their relationship get closer? Or maybe they already skipped straight to becoming a couple?
Thinking of this, she pressed her lips together and felt that the responsibility on her shoulders was very heavy.
No problem, I will take action myself! I will protect my brother’s happiness.
With that thought, Gu Anran opened Mu Yi’s novel first to “cleanse her eyes.”
Because this new novel from Mu Yi matched her taste very well, she had been following it closely. As soon as she opened it, she saw the newly updated five-thousand-word chapter.
The title was: “The Temptation of the Maid Outfit”
Hmm...
Gu Anran touched her chin. She could already guess how her little canned fish would write the story next.
Most likely, other people would think Bai Qiu did not suit the outfit. Then after Bai Qiu changed clothes and walked out, everyone would instantly be shocked, and Huo Qiu’s attention would be completely captured.
Then some fun and exciting moments would happen between them too.
Instead of reading the chapter immediately, she first opened the comment section under the title.
As expected, many readers were already there.
And quite a few usernames looked familiar.
After sighing in her heart, Gu Anran finally started reading.
The story developed exactly as she expected. It was a very common “show-off and face-slapping” type of plot, but the detailed emotions of the two main characters still impressed her.
Bai Qiu’s rare shyness, and Huo Qiu’s hard-to-hide possessiveness.
The two of them felt like they could do something very heart-racing inside the fitting room at any moment, but in the end, nothing actually happened. The atmosphere was fully there, but the “meal” was never served.
Reading this, Gu Anran even felt a little regretful. She regretted that her little canned fish was an author who did not write explicit scenes.
But it did not matter too much.
Because readers nowadays would imagine the rest by themselves, and she was no different. As the saying goes, once you put on “yellow glasses,” everything starts looking dirty.
After reading all five thousand words in one go, Gu Anran did not leave the novel right away. Instead, she immediately went back to read the comments, wanting to confirm her guess.
The more she read, the more satisfied she became. The readers of Egg Bun website had not disappointed her.
Then something unexpected caught her attention. Someone had apparently experienced something very similar today!
[Miss Bai Qiu’s Dog]: “This feeling is way too familiar... I just saw a man and a woman buying a nun outfit at a clothing store today. The plot was exactly the same. Laughing~”
[Hurry Up and Drop Some Gold Coins, Old Man]: “The person above, are you talking about that shop on Meteor Street? I was there too!”
[Miss Bai Qiu’s Dog]: “Damn, the world is really this small? Could this novel actually be based on the author’s real experience? Laughing and crying~”
[Cat Girls Are the Cutest]: “What a coincidence, I was there too. Laughing and crying~”
[Slash Karma, Not People]: “Can you explain in detail? I have a friend who is very curious.”
Seeing this, Gu Anran froze for a moment.
