Chapter 41 - Transmigrated into the world of an NTR novel as the NTR Bastard
041 Do you like cats? The daily tasks have been completed. On the window sill was the ashtray prepared by Luo Qingchuan. He extinguished the burnt cigarette and smiled, "I quit smoking." "Really? You quit?" Su Yingxue gazed at him with a hint of doubt in her beautiful eyes. Luo Qingchuan shook his head and smiled. "It was just a sudden impulse." "My father told me that some people smoke to escape from pain," Su Yingxue bit her lip. "Do you have something on your mind?" "I really quit, this is the last one in my lifetime!" Luo Qingchuan pleaded with a smile. The girl finally started believing him. "Then why did you suddenly come here to smoke?" Su Yingxue rested her arm on the balcony, and the moist wind after the rain tousled her hair, clinging to her snow-white cheeks, creating a cold and dreamlike beauty. She liked to dig deep and learn the answers to her questions, otherwise, her mind would keep thinking and thinking. Luo Qingchuan felt that Su Yingxue was truly like a cute little cat with a pair of eyes that wanted to see through the fog. Now there was a hint of grievance in Su Yingxue's eyes. "Did I make you unhappy in some way?" Luo Qingchuan shook his head. "No." "But why?" Su Yingxue stared at Luo Qingchuan with red eyes. "My father liked to lock himself in the room and smoke. In the end, he and my mother slept separately!" After a moment of silence, Luo Qingchuan apologized with regret, "I didn't know you disliked it." "I don't dislike it!" Su Yingxue gritted her teeth and turned her gaze away. Her voice was softer than the wind. "The room was filled with smoke, and I don't feel disgusted. I feel sorry for him. It's like torturing himself." Luo Qingchuan stood by her side, both of them looking up at the soft and thin clouds tainted with a holy golden glow. "Not anymore, I won't do it anymore." In reality, tar and nicotine did not pose much harm to those who embarked on the cultivation path. But Su Yingxue worried as if Luo Qingchuan were the delicate and fragile porcelain that she might lose. "Then why did you use to smoke?" She was curious. "Well... It became a habit unintentionally, just like how some people like to sleep naked?" Su Yingxue blushed, pouting coquettishly. "I have something else to say." "Okay." Seeing Su Yingxue's momentary silence, Luo Qingchuan observed her. Su Yingxue was thinking about that glowing screen. Then. Su Yingxue smiled at Luo Qingchuan, and in his eyes, it felt like a gentle touch, serene like the flowing springs in the mountains. "Your phone is lit up, someone sent you a message." "Oh, really? Who is it?" Luo Qingchuan asked casually. Su Yingxue tilted her head and said with a teasing smile, "Don't ask me, I didn't look." Luo Qingchuan nodded. "Then let me take a look. Maybe my brother is calling me to go home again." Luo Qingchuan walked towards the door, and he put an umbrella into the storage space before turning back and calling out, "Xiao Xue, let's go." They walked out of the house together. Luo Qingchuan noticed that the rain-washed streets were indeed beautiful, shining under the morning light. The leaves by the road, the potted plants on the walls, and the crystal-clear raindrops slowly sliding down, a tri-colored cat deftly ran past them, avoiding the small puddles on the ground. It stopped and licked its wet little paw. "It's a cat!" Su Yingxue was pleasantly surprised, but her voice was small, afraid of scaring it. The girl followed the steps of the tri-colored cat with joy before turning back to look at Luo Qingchuan. "Do you like cats?" "Yes, I do." "Is it because of what I just said? It feels like you always know how to purposely say things that make girls happy." "I also want to have a cat," Luo Qingchuan smiled. "But I used to be very busy and didn't have time to accompany it, so I gave up the idea." "Cats are not afraid of being alone, they are very strong." Su Yingxue smiled and said, "It's the people who are afraid of cats being lonely. I realized this after I brought Douzi home." "Douzi?" "My cat at home, it's chubby and round like a bean." Luo Qingchuan asked again, "What were you thinking about just now when you were alone up there? I really won't smoke anymore." Su Yingxue shook her head and leaned closer to Luo Qingchuan. She whispered softly, "It's just... I started to dislike myself for a moment." ...... ...... ...... After leaving the hotel, Chen Yanyu suddenly didn't know where to go. "The transfer procedures and registration to the Dao Class are taking too long! How many more days?" Ever since Chen Yanyu found out that she and Luo Qingchuan were in the same school, she had been excited and looking forward to it. "The human world is not as fun as I imagined." The silver-haired girl sighed and boredly looked at the bustling city. It was indeed beautiful, but it also felt empty. Although her heart had been elated and excited at first sight, it seemed that the true beauty was not in the moment of seeing the scenery, but in wanting to share that feeling with someone.
