Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Xiaobai, Let’s Make Peace

’Of course!’

’A traitor in the ranks!’

Yan Luoxi watched her own mother knock on the door of 306.

"Hm?"

"Not home?"

Tang Wanfang muttered to herself.

"KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—"

Seeing no response, Tang Wanfang knocked again, but the result was the same. There was no answer from inside.

"Where did that darn girl run off to?"

Tang Wanfang frowned.

She fumbled with the doorknob and gave it a twist. The door was locked tight; naturally, she couldn’t open it.

Just then, Gu Yizhou returned from taking out the trash.

He had just come upstairs when he saw Tang Wanfang pressed up against the peephole of Room 306, peering inside. This made him frown involuntarily.

’This person said she’s looking for someone, but she’s acting so strangely. Could she be a thief casing the joint?’

"Ahem."

Gu Yizhou faked a cough and walked to his own front door.

Tang Wanfang was startled by the sound.

She turned her head and saw it was the young man from 305.

Noticing the strange look he was giving her, Tang Wanfang realized her actions must have seemed odd. She quickly spoke up, "Young man, I’d like to ask, have you seen the person who lives in 306?"

"Uh... Ma’am, is the person you’re looking for in 306?"

Gu Yizhou asked.

"Yes!"

"It’s like this. I had a fight with my daughter, and she got angry and ran away from home. We haven’t heard from her since."

"I went through a lot of trouble, and after asking around, I found out she’s living in this complex, so I came to look for her on the sly."

"But I’ve been knocking for a while, and it seems like no one’s home."

"I was wondering, young man, have you seen her?"

Tang Wanfang repeated the same story she had told Chen Dongmei earlier.

’So the new neighbor is a girl!’ Gu Yizhou thought.

But in all this time, he really had never seen his next-door neighbor.

"Sorry, Ma’am, I haven’t."

Gu Yizhou shook his head.

"Is that so!"

"Could I have the wrong place?"

After hearing his reply, Tang Wanfang frowned, looking puzzled.

Gu Yizhou thought for a moment before saying, "I’m a bit of a homebody. Besides work, I basically spend all my time indoors, so it’s normal that I haven’t seen her. How about this, Ma’am, why don’t you go ask the property management office about Room 306?"

Gu Yizhou suggested this because he wanted the property management to vet the woman. He wasn’t entirely convinced by her story.

"Oh, okay. Thank you, young man."

Tang Wanfang nodded.

But there was no way she was going to the property management office. If she did, they would definitely notify her daughter. And if her daughter was notified, how could she catch her in the act?

So, she wasn’t going to try that method.

Seeing her somewhat dismissive attitude, Gu Yizhou couldn’t be bothered to say anything more.

"Don’t mention it. Well, Ma’am, I’ll let you get back to it. I’m heading inside."

"Oh, okay."

...

With that, Gu Yizhou took out his keys, opened his door, and went inside.

"SLAM!"

The door closed. Tang Wanfang stared at the shut door of 305, lost in thought for a moment.

"Forget it!"

After a while, she snapped out of it and shook her head helplessly. "I’ll come back and check again next time!"

Then, she turned and left...

Hearing the sounds of her leaving, Gu Yizhou opened his door again to take a look. When he saw that the strange woman was gone, he just shook his head and didn’t give the matter any more thought.

’Still, I should be more careful about locking the door properly when I go out from now on.’

After closing the door,

Gu Yizhou turned and went back to the sofa, where he found Xiaobai staring at him.

The man and the cat just stared at each other, wide-eyed.

"Xiaobai, can we call a truce?"

Gu Yizhou said with a smile.

Yan Luoxi lifted her eyelids and shot him a glance.

’A truce?’

’A truce, my ass!’

’I’m the one who took a faceful of your fart, not you!’

’How dare you, you damned jerk, even have the nerve to suggest a truce?’

Yan Luoxi cursed him out in her head, not wanting to pay any attention to this scumbag whatsoever!

Gu Yizhou saw Xiaobai’s disgusted expression, but he didn’t mind.

He just smiled, walked over, and when she wasn’t looking, scooped her up.

He first grabbed her by the scruff of her neck to stop her from scratching him again.

"Meow~"

Yan Luoxi cried out at Gu Yizhou.

But it was no use. She could wave her four paws in the air and struggle all she wanted, but it was futile.

Yan Luoxi struggled a few times before giving up the fight, letting Gu Yizhou hold her in his arms.

"Xiaobai, be a good girl~"

"Are you hungry right now?"

"If you behave and stop fussing, how about Daddy gives you a treat as a reward?"

Gu Yizhou looked down at the cat in his arms with a smile, cooing at her as if she were a child.

"Meow~"

Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but want to roll her eyes!

’Hmph!’

’I’m not eating that crap!’

Gu Yizhou carried her back to the living room sofa.

Then he took out a cat treat stick to feed her.

But at the sight of it, Yan Luoxi turned her head away with a flick!

The meaning was obvious.

’I’m not eating it!’

Gu Yizhou froze for a second.

Thinking she hadn’t smelled it yet, he tore open the treat stick and offered it again!

"Meeow~"

Yan Luoxi meowed at Gu Yizhou but still refused to eat!

Uh...

Now Gu Yizhou was in an awkward position.

’It’s already opened. If Xiaobai doesn’t eat it, wouldn’t that be a waste?!’

"Xiaobai, how about you just have one bite? It’d be such a waste otherwise!"

Gu Yizhou coaxed her in a soft, gentle voice.

"Meow~"

Yan Luoxi meowed, and when Gu Yizhou wasn’t paying attention, she struggled out of his arms.

With a "WHOOSH," she dove under the sofa.

Gu Yizhou: "..."

Gu Yizhou stared blankly at his empty arms, where only a few cat hairs remained.

This...

Fine!

He gave up!

Gu Yizhou got up and walked over to the balcony. He squeezed the treat stick into the cat food bowl and mixed it in with the kibble. This way, when Xiaobai ate, she wouldn’t be a picky eater and only eat the treat instead of her food.

After doing all this, Gu Yizhou went back to his room to grab a change of clothes, getting ready to take a shower.

He had made plans with Song Sisi to have dinner together tonight.

Well, actually, Song Sisi was insisting on treating him to a meal to thank him for helping take her brother home last time.

He couldn’t refuse any longer, so Gu Yizhou had to agree.

The moment Gu Yizhou stepped into the bathroom, Yan Luoxi crawled out from under the sofa.

’Hmph!’

’That stinky jerk!’

’Trying to force me to eat a cat treat!’

’I’d never let you get your way!’

’In short, a truce is impossible (I’ll get my revenge sooner or later), and I’m not eating cat food either (what I ate before doesn’t count), so you can just give up on that idea, you damned jerk!’
