Lose My Heart to the Lovely Kitten Princess - Chapter 244
Chapter 244 Call Me Xiaoxiao
“Why don’t you ask me why you can call me Xiaoxiao?”
Cheng Xiaoxiao patted Chu Yunshen’s arm with dissatisfaction just as Chu Yunshen was estimating the size of her palms with his eyes.
It was also Cheng Xiaoxiao’s hazy shout that pulled Chu Yunshen back from these strange thoughts. How could he have such a rude idea? Moreover, he could not tell whether this woman was human or demon, and he only knew her name now.
Chu Yunshen shifted his gaze to somewhere else and cleared his throat before asking the question.
“Okay. Why did you allow me to call you Xiaoxiao?”
“Hehehe…”
Cheng Xiaoxiao giggled foolishly again instead of answering his question immediately. Only after she laughed for a while did she mysteriously hook her index finger at Chu Yunshen, indicating for him to come closer.
Chu Yunshen was hesitating whether he should get closer to Cheng Xiaoxiao or not. His concern was justified since Cheng Xiaoxiao always took things by surprise and would even do some overly intimate actions to him.
Although he did not feel disgusted, he felt that there was something wrong and it was a little awkward.
Chu Yunshen’s hesitation was a stark contrary from his usual decisive and firm demeanor. The impatient Cheng Xiaoxiao directly reached out, grabbed Chu Yunshen’s arm, and pulled him toward her. At this moment, they were only a few inches away from each other.
The two of them suddenly got so close that Chu Yunshen could clearly see Cheng Xiaoxiao’s thick and slender black eyelashes. They flickered on her face like two little brushes, casting a small shadow under her eyelids.
Not only that, but Chu Yunshen could also feel Cheng Xiaoxiao’s breathing. It was not only a little heavy but also a little irregular. Then, he looked at her delicate little face, and her fair cheeks involuntarily turned pinkish-red.
“Are you sick?”
Chu Yunshen couldn’t help but break the awkward silence between them.
“Shh! Don’t talk!”
Cheng Xiaoxiao stretched out her finger and gently pressed it against Chu Yunshen’s lips. Then, she leaned forward and moved her head close to Chu Yunshen’s ear and whispered something.
“Do you want to know why? Okay, I’ll…”
Halfway through her words, Cheng Xiaoxiao paused. Chu Yunshen turned his head curiously to see what was wrong with Cheng Xiaoxiao, but the moment he turned his head, his cheek accidentally brushed against something unusually tender.
Feeling that strange touch, Chu Yunshen did not dare to move although he was only halfway through turning his head. At this point, he didn’t dare to move or walk away. He could only stay there and wait for Cheng Xiaoxiao to react.
Cheng Xiaoxiao did not seem to notice the oddity. She smiled and turned Chu Yunshen’s face to the other side. Then, she approached his ear and whispered in an even lower voice.
“I won’t tell you!”
After saying that, Cheng Xiaoxiao released Chu Yunshen’s face, and she snuggled into Chu Yunshen’s embrace.
When Cheng Xiaoxiao spoke just now, the hot air between her nose and her mouth puffed directly on Chu Yunshen’s ear. Her soft hand was so cold that it made Chu Yunshen tremble unnaturally.
Cheng Xiaoxiao hugged Chu Yunshen again, found a comfortable position to rub against, and even snorted in satisfaction. But even so, Chu Yunshen still stood rooted in a daze, not knowing what to do.
But wasn’t her body very warm just now? Why was her hand so cold?
Chu Yunshen looked down at Cheng Xiaoxiao’s dark and fragrant hair, pursing his thin lips tight.
“Cheng Xiaoxiao, you are not a native of Chu, right?”
Chu Yunshen’s voice was so charming to Cheng Xiaoxiao, tempting her to speak despite her dizziness.
“Call me Xiaoxiao!”
Cheng Xiaoxiao only remembered these tiny details that did not seem important but were something she would care about even when she was conscious. She even lifted her head and emphasized to Chu Yunshen, “Call me Xiaoxiao!”
Under Cheng Xiaoxiao’s direct gaze, Chu Yunshen had to avoid her eyes and turn his face sideways. His ears were redder than before, and his voice sounded a little embarrassed.
“Xiaoxiao…”
“What’s the matter?” Cheng Xiaoxiao drawled lazily.
Chu Yunshen didn’t know if she was really inebriated or deliberately teasing him. He had no idea how to deal with her, but he had a question to ask her.
“Xiaoxiao, who are you?”
Chu Yunshen took a deep breath and asked again in an indifferent tone, trying to ignore her shenanigans.
“Of course, I’m not from Chu…”
Cheng Xiaoxiao moved her head around and sniffed Chu Yunshen’s body, trying to search for something. After sniffing for a long time, she put her head close to Chu Yunshen’s neck and rubbed against it. Finally, she was satisfied and stopped exploring. This was it, the bouncy and fragrant spot she had been searching for.
The confused Cheng Xiaoxiao was delightful of her dream. She was able to tease Chu Yunshen like this without being subdued or disliked by him.
She was comfortable. On the other hand, Chu Yunshen was suffering.
Chu Yunshen felt itchy on his neck because of Cheng Xiaoxiao’s breathing that gently puffed on his skin. It felt like a very light feather brushing past his neck, which made him feel flustered and enchanted.
He wanted to ask Cheng Xiaoxiao again, but in the end, he could not stand the close distance between him and Cheng Xiaoxiao. He closed his eyes and held his breath. Then, he quickly pushed Cheng Xiaoxiao out of his arms.
“Let’s talk like this! Where did you come from?”
Chu Yunshen did not completely push Cheng Xiaoxiao away. Instead, he held Cheng Xiaoxiao’s shoulder with his big hands. He did not care if the groggy Cheng Xiaoxiao was looking at him now. He just lowered his head and looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao seriously.
Cheng Xiaoxiao was already very sleepy in Chu Yunshen’s arms. In Cheng Xiaoxiao’s consciousness, she felt as if she was stepping on clouds like cotton candy. She was now preparing to lie down and have a good sleep.
It seemed that someone was calling her.
Was it Chu Yunshen? It was Chu Hongyi, right?
Chu Yunshen would not address her so intimately.
Cheng Xiaoxiao used the last bit of her rationality to analyze the situation. As for whether the person in front of her was Chu Yunshen or Chu Hongyi, Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn’t know for sure, because at this moment, her vision turned dark.
After Cheng Xiaoxiao closed her eyes completely, a blue light flashed on her body. Along with the blue light, Cheng Xiaoxiao, who was supported by Chu Yunshen and whose head was drooping down, disappeared.
Chu Yunshen watched Cheng Xiaoxiao suddenly disappear under the blue light with his own eyes. Yet, the remaining warmth in his palms was so real.
It was as if a gust of wind had come from nowhere. Suddenly, Chu Yunshen felt a void beside him, and a sense of loss inexplicably arose in his heart. Cheng Xiaoxiao was the one who brought this weird feeling to him.
That subtle breathing still lingered in Chu Yunshen’s ears. How could someone disappear all of a sudden?
Chu Yunshen was somewhat regretful. He had not seen Cheng Xiaoxiao’s state clearly just now, so he did not notice that Cheng Xiaoxiao was closing her eyes when she lowered her head. However, he couldn’t do anything even if he spotted it. He was not so powerful that he could control Cheng Xiaoxiao’s whereabouts.
If Cheng Xiaoxiao was gone, what about the Persian cat? Chu Yunshen did not hesitate and he quickly looked down at the floor of the room.
Sure enough, the snow-white Persian cat was sleeping soundly on the ground.
“Who are you, and where are you from? What are you doing here?”
Chu Yunshen looked at the completely unconscious Persian cat on the ground with a complicated expression, but he hesitated and did not immediately reach out to hug her. He simply asked the cat a few questions, but there was no other response except for the echoes of Chu Yunshen’s voice.
On the ground, the cat would occasionally purr, but that was only a cat’s normal purr, and he couldn’t hear anything special.
Chu Yunshen was not sure what he should do now. If Cheng Xiaoxiao was really the Persian cat, Chu Yunshen would not be troubled at all. However, now that he knew Cheng Xiaoxiao could transform into a human form, how could he face her calmly in the future?
But hadn’t Cheng Xiaoxiao already hugged him before? Moreover, if he left her on the ground and ignored her, she would definitely catch a cold and get sick tomorrow.
Alright, he should help her since he was a gentleman.
After making up his mind, Chu Yunshen closed his eyes, bent down, and picked the cat up into his embrace. But when he wanted to comb the cat’s fur, he thought for a moment and decided to touch the cat’s head instead.
Why was it so hot again?
The Persian cat was wearing small clothes. In addition, the temperature of the cat itself was higher than that of a human. Chu Yunshen was unable to feel the abnormal temperature of her body through the clothes earlier. It was only when Chu Yunshen touched the cat’s forehead that he realized that the cat’s body temperature was much higher than usual.
When Chu Yunshen thought about how Cheng Xiaoxiao would suddenly become hot and cold intermittently when she was hugging him, he immediately took the cat out of the room and went to see Mu Bai.
There were three rooms in the courtyard that Xiaowu rented. Except for Chu Yunshen, who was staying in a room by himself, the men shared the rooms in twos. Xiaowu did not mind who his temporary roommate was, but Mu Bai, the “picky” one, moved his and Xiaowu’s belongings to one room in advance, so Xiaowu had no choice but to share a room with him.
Mu Bai even stated that he was tolerant despite Xiaowu’s annoying characteristics and bad temper, so he would not mind sharing a room with Xiaowu.
As he put it, they were complimenting each other’s shortcomings.
Fortunately, Xiaowu did not care about it because Mu Bai had helped him make the bed. Otherwise, the two of them would have to fight again.
When Chu Yunshen went in to see Mu Bai, Xiaowu was not back yet. Mu Bai was not as strong as Chu Yunshen in terms of martial arts. He couldn’t distinguish whose footsteps they were through the door.
When the door was pushed open, Mu Bai, who was soaking his feet, naturally said without raising his head, “You’re back.”
Mu Bai thought that it was Xiaowu, so he spoke in a casual tone without even looking at the person.
Did Mu Bai know that he was coming? Chu Yunshen was startled. He stopped at the threshold for a few seconds before stepping in.
