Chapter 31 Would you sell your body for money?
"..."
He tried his best to suppress the groans coming from his throat.
Although the girl's movements were clumsy and slow, she always managed to inexplicably touch the boy's sensitive spots.
That soft, light little hand sometimes brushed against his belly, sometimes pinched his ear, and sometimes grasped that thick, long thing…
Cat's tail.
"Meow~" the boy cried out in despair.
He collapsed.
He lay in Pei Qingning's arms.
Looking up, you can see the corners of her lips curving slightly.
Its delicate pink hue was as soft as kneaded cloud fibers and as pale as the tender buds of a newly blossoming peach.
In Kawabata Yasunari's writings, there was once a dancer in Izu, a girl as clear as a mountain spring.
And now, there is also a clear, innocent stream that flows over the anxiety in the boy's heart.
The girl's smile was like a carefree spring evening breeze, clean and clear, untouched by the dust of the world.
It makes you want to get close to it, to...
cut!
I'll kill!
Gu Zhibei suddenly woke up.
A hint of human shame flashed in the amber cat's eyes.
His cat claws, honed over a decade, are among the finest weapons in the world. They have accompanied him on his journeys through the martial world, slaying countless wicked demonesses. Even the fish king, who only dares to stir up trouble at night, has at most left a few bite marks on them.
Besides, she's just some random young lady from the Pei family who popped out of who-knows-where?
It's just a bit of hardship that's drifted in from the martial world.
One beheading is enough.
As if hearing the sharp sound of a boy's claws, the male host's voice finally came through:
"Time's up—Congratulations to our contestant number eight for successfully passing all our challenges! You've become the top performer so far!"
Gu Zhibei quickly jumped off the girl's arms to avoid being further abused.
Pei Qingning wore an expression as if she had been used and discarded by a scumbag.
The tabby cat remained unmoved and ran to Zhou Ying's feet.
Zhou Ying picked him up and rewarded him.
The person and the cat began to wait.
Since there are still smaller contestants to compete, we need to wait until they finish and then compare the completion speed to determine the final winner.
Fortunately, the cats behind were really useless and came out as soon as they went in.
Very few contestants even made it to the fourth round.
Gu Zhibei noticed that Pei Qingning, who was originally supposed to be a staff member for the fourth stage, only appeared once in the end.
He suddenly remembered the information Shen Wenyu had mentioned.
The champion's prize of 10,000 yuan was later sponsored by someone.
Could this person be Pei Qingning?
Gu Zhibei could not get an answer from his guesses.
The girl, whose background was unclear, seemed indifferent to the other cats, not even bothering to glance at them. She left reluctantly after he left the scene.
There are some cats that are quite cute, though.
Gu Zhibei was very puzzled.
The match ended about two hours later.
Without a doubt, the championship belongs to him.
After the competition ended, Zhou Ying, holding the champion cat, went up to the podium under the guidance of the host.
A microphone was shoved in front of Gu Zhibei.
"Would our champion be willing to give a victory speech?" the female host asked with a smitten expression.
Gu Zhibei turned around with disgust, facing Aunt Zhou's arms.
The female host looked resentful and wanted to say something, but her partner forcibly dragged her away.
To ensure the competition could conclude smoothly, the male host quickly said some polite words.
He never wants to co-host with this woman again.
Even if you offer more money, it won't work.
...
Leaving the crowded square, Zhou Ying led Gu Zhibei back to the small four-wheeled vehicle.
The bonus should arrive within two business days.
As for that refrigerator...
I might as well sell it sometime.
Some of the money I get should be given to Aunt Zhou, since she didn't even do any business today because she was helping her own family.
Just then, the car suddenly stopped.
"Alright, little guy, we're home." Zhou Ying looked at him with reluctance.
Gu Zhibei immediately reacted, fearing that Aunt Zhou would become the second Pei Qingning.
He wagged his tail, jumped off the car, and skillfully scaled the community wall.
Just to be on the safe side, the tabby cat didn't take the elevator to avoid urban legends spreading in the neighborhood and affecting property prices.
Housing prices have already plummeted in the past two years; they can't go any lower.
Upon arriving on the sixth floor, Gu Zhibei pushed open the door.
He didn't lock the door before leaving, since a cat's paws can't hold the key.
"Should we install a pet door on the main door?" he wondered.
After a flash of white light, the tabby cat transformed into a naked, handsome young boy.
I'm still a bit tired, after waiting for so long.
After getting dressed, Gu Zhibei lay down on the sofa.
The house was very quiet, and dust had settled in many places.
With his slight obsession with cleanliness, he should have cleaned up the dust promptly, but Gu Zhibei felt that this was how the home should be.
Anyway, they're not coming back.
No one else will come.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Gu Zhibei stood up blankly.
There haven't been any deliveries lately...
He walked to the door and turned the handle.
Open the door…
close the door.
clap clap clap!
The knocking sounded again.
Gu Zhibei opened the door expressionlessly.
Outside the door stood the ever-present, haunting eldest daughter of the Pei family.
Her personal assistant followed behind her.
"You investigated me?" Gu Zhibei asked coldly.
Pei Qingning thought for a moment and nodded.
The girl's self-righteous demeanor left the boy speechless for a moment.
He seemed to understand how Jiang Youyu felt when she faced him.
Gu Zhibei said, "If you follow a guy like this, people will think you're a pervert."
"Um."
Pei Qingning gave a very perfunctory answer.
Her gaze remained fixed on the room, as if she were searching for something.
"Don't look for it, it's not my cat." Gu Zhibei blocked her view.
"You're lying." Pei Qingning's eyes showed slight dissatisfaction.
Gu Zhibei had a headache.
Miss Pei has connections everywhere; she's even investigated his own family. What can he do?
Tell the truth?
The evil capitalists will dissect him.
"What exactly do you want?" The boy raised half a white flag.
Upon hearing this, Pei Qingning's eyes instantly changed, becoming as sharp as a drawn sword.
"Buy a cat."
She said slowly:
"One hundred thousand."
Gu Zhibei's heart skipped a beat.
She really is a wicked woman who lusts after his body!
They even tried to corrupt his cat's claws with money!
I don't think about it!
"Impossible." He said firmly.
The girl immediately agreed:
"Five hundred thousand."
"No, it's impossible..." the boy said with difficulty, "This isn't about money."
"Two million," Pei Qingning said calmly.
When she said those words, Gu Zhibei seemed to see golden light emanating from her.
For a moment, he found it difficult to breathe.
Two million.
How many years will it take him to earn that much money?
"This really isn't about the money," Gu Zhibei said painfully.
He took a deep breath: "No matter how much money you offer, I won't sell it. It's my life."
After speaking, Gu Zhibei realized that he had actually sweated quite a bit.
Pei Qingning didn't raise the price any further, perhaps sensing his determination.
She looked extremely unwilling and made a grinding sound with her teeth.
Gu Zhibei took a few steps back; he had watched quite a few zombie movies.
Fortunately, the girl's personal assistant whispered a few words in her ear.
Pei Qingning's eyes lit up instantly, as if they were sprinkled with softened icing sugar:
"I want to rent a kitten!"
