"Meow-nee."
"Meow-nee-ga." The cat teaser wand flicked slightly. Yi Wan stood up and batted at the fuzzball with his furry paws—then, he simply flopped onto his back, belly up, twitched the tip of his tail, and stopped moving entirely.
What an intense and exhilarating workout.
"It's only been a minute and he's already done," Bai Yuyou said, holding the cat teaser. She poked Yi Wan's face with the wand again. Yi Wan rolled over in disgust, but because he was so fat, he looked like a giant ball of pork floss flipping over.
"Meow."
"Looks like Yi Wan needs to go on a diet too," Ye Shuang said as he walked out of the kitchen carrying a dish. "Alright, let's eat."
He had prepared three or four dishes, mostly Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke's favorites. He glanced around. "Where's Keke?"
"Keke is busy with some... anime convention," Bai Yuyou said. "Basically, she bought a lot of clothes."
"An anime convention?" Ye Shuang paused. Right at that moment, the doorbell rang, so he went to open the door—
"Yo, Keke Number One reporting to big brother." Outside, Tang Keke grinned and gave Ye Shuang a playful salute. "Arriving right on time for dinner!"
"Bonk."
Ye Shuang lightly chopped her on the head and turned around. "Go wash your hands first, then we'll eat."
"You too, Yuyou. Remember to wash your hands after playing with the cat before eating," he added.
"Oh."
"Okay."
Life seemed to have returned to normal, and the atmosphere was no longer as awkward as before. However, if there was one difference, it was that Ye Shuang had become noticeably more proactive when it came to Bai Yuyou.
He no longer reminded her to keep her distance or rejected her requests. Instead, he was much more accommodating. As long as it was something Bai Yuyou asked for, Ye Shuang rarely said no. He was treating her much more like a girlfriend.
"Big brother, there's an anime convention happening in our district. Are you going?" Tang Keke asked.
"An anime convention, huh." Ye Shuang thought for a moment, as if recalling something.
Tang Keke: "OvO?"
"I actually went to an anime convention before, but that was many years ago," Ye Shuang said with a smile. "It was quite fun at the time. I cosplayed as a headless student with a knife stuck in his chest."
"Uh..." Tang Keke thought hard. Was there a character like that?
"Yuyou, do you want to go to the anime convention?" Ye Shuang asked Bai Yuyou.
"Go, let's go!" Tang Keke immediately urged.
"Okay." Bai Yuyou nodded. She was always easy to convince.
"When is it?" Ye Shuang asked.
"Tomorrow. But you guys need to remember to buy tickets, they're eighty each," Tang Keke said, taking out her phone to send the link to Ye Shuang and Bai Yuyou.
"You have to buy tickets for an anime convention?" Ye Shuang asked.
"Yep."
"It really is a commercialized event," Ye Shuang remarked. He then bought VIP tickets for himself and Bai Yuyou. Though it was called VIP, it really just came with a commemorative figure and a bottle of water.
"You didn't need to buy the VIP tickets. I think they just give you a low-quality figure, and the ticket costs twice as much."
"Is that so?"
"It's so easy to make money off weebs," Tang Keke couldn't help but sigh.
"Are you talking about yourself, Keke?"
...
After lunch, Ye Shuang prepared to head out, as he had made plans with Chen Hai and a few others today.
"You two can just stay at home, or go out for a walk," Ye Shuang said, looking at the two girls in the house.
"I want to go too," Bai Yuyou suddenly said.
"Hmm?" Normally, Bai Yuyou would just obediently agree. Hearing her actively ask to come along, Ye Shuang glanced at her in slight surprise—then he smiled.
"The place we're going to might be a bit boring, you know. Do you still want to go?"
"Yes," Bai Yuyou nodded. "I want to be with Ye Shuang."
Hearing her say that, Ye Shuang didn't argue further. He patted her head, agreed, and then looked at Tang Keke. "What about you, Keke?"
"Eh, it seems a bit boring to be all by myself. Can I go hang out with you too, big brother?" Tang Keke scratched her head. She was actually quite dependent on Bai Yuyou too. Rather than staying home alone, she'd much rather snuggle up next to the soft and sweet-smelling Bai Yuyou.
"Then let's all go together."
"By the way, big brother, where are you guys going?" Tang Keke asked curiously.
"An adult activity~" Ye Shuang gave a half-smile.
"An a-adult activity?!" Tang Keke didn't quite understand, but she was greatly shocked.
...
An hour later, the group arrived at the entrance of an internet cafe.
Tang Keke looked up at the signboard. "Sweetie Internet Cafe..."
Ye Shuang smiled and nodded. "Yep, an internet cafe."
"Could it be that there's a secret facility inside, like a hidden underground casino?" Tang Keke asked mysteriously.
"No, I never do anything illegal."
"Then, does an adult activity mean a red-light establishment..."
"How is that possible."
"Then here..." Tang Keke's little brain was struggling to keep up. She opted to look at Bai Yuyou beside her. As for the latter, she just tilted her head innocently, absolutely no help at all.
"It's just a normal internet cafe. Let's go in," Ye Shuang said, leading the two girls inside.
The internet cafe had a nice environment; it was visibly clean. There was just a faint smell of tobacco in the air wafting over from the adjacent smoking area, but since the smell wasn't strong, it wasn't a big deal.
Ye Shuang scanned the room and finally spotted Chen Hai and the others.
"Holy crap, why did you bring little Yuyou along?" Chen Hai was momentarily stunned when he saw Bai Yuyou beside Ye Shuang, seemingly confused as to why Ye Shuang brought her here.
"Is there a problem?" Next to Chen Hai was his wife Feng Shan, as well as Fugui.
At this moment, Bai Yuyou looked at the familiar faces in front of her, her gaze then falling on the row of connected computers nearby.
"Just as you see, we made plans to meet up here and play some games together," Ye Shuang said. It was just a little get-together since everyone was free. Originally, Chen Qin was supposed to come too, but she apparently got a call halfway here and had to rush back to the company.
"Whatever, log in, log in," Chen Hai clamored. However, with Ye Shuang and the others, having six people actually made it awkward for a team game.
Besides, it seemed Chen Qin was going to sneak in some playtime over at the company too.
"We're fine, we'll play with that," Tang Keke said, pointing to a long sofa off to the side.
There was a massive screen over there, and not only that, but it was equipped with two controllers, perfect for playing games like The King of Fighters or It Takes Two.
After all, they wouldn't know how to play the games Ye Shuang and the guys were going to play.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
