Chapter 202: Chapter 142: Am I Allowed to See This?
"Aw, getting shy now, are we?"
After returning home, Shen Yuan greeted his dad and mom as usual, then went to his room.
Walking into his bedroom, Shen Yuan’s eyes immediately locked onto the litter box.
’This dumbass didn’t poop outside the box today. He deserves a reward!’
Shen Yuan had washed both litter boxes that morning. Looking at the clean box, he saw that the idiot San Geng had finally deigned to poop inside it.
"You’re just like your mom, a damn tsundere. If the box isn’t clean, you won’t poop, is that it?!"
Shen Yuan poked San Geng’s head, then opened his phone.
First, he set his alarm for 5:10 AM. It seemed Shen Yuan would have to start waking up around this time from now on.
While setting the alarm, Shen Yuan couldn’t help but think of the alarm he had seen Li Zhi set before.
She had only one recurring alarm, set for 5:10 AM.
In other words, the beautiful girl could get herself up with just a single alarm.
’Her self-discipline is off the charts.’
Before he’d received the "Vigorous Energy" skill as a system reward, Shen Yuan was the type who had to laze in bed for a while before he could get up.
After setting his alarm, Shen Yuan worked on a practice test for an hour, then took a shower and went to bed.
"Gengzi, Naonao, time for bed!"
Shen Yuan patted the bed. San Geng, who was already on it, lifted its head and gave Shen Yuan a confused look.
Shen Yuan ignored San Geng, opened his phone to read the latest update of "Defend and Steal," and then, as was his custom, sent Li Zhi a goodnight message.
Li Zhi: "Mm, go to sleep. I just finished my shower."
The moment Li Zhi sent the message and put her phone down on the bathroom counter, she saw a video call coming in from Shen Yuan.
Li Zhi rolled her eyes dramatically.
’Shen Yuan’s intentions are obvious to everyone!’
But in the end, Li Zhi still answered the call.
Shen Yuan saw that Li Zhi had answered, but before he could even be happy about it, he found himself looking at a ceramic tile.
"Seriously, what the..."
"You think I don’t know what you want to see?"
Li Zhi’s voice came from the phone.
"I’m just worried about you. I wanted to see if you’d dried your hair yet."
"I didn’t wash my hair. Wait, let me brush my teeth."
Shen Yuan listened to the sounds from the other end. After a while, he saw the camera’s view start to move.
But it was quickly enveloped in darkness.
After the sound of slippers on the floor for a moment, there was the thud of a phone being tossed onto a bed.
Shen Yuan looked at the ceiling on his screen and shook his head in disappointment.
However, before he could say anything, he saw a white towel get tossed onto the camera.
Shen Yuan’s eyes flew wide open.
"Holy shit?"
"What’s with the ’holy shit’?"
"Nothing."
As soon as Shen Yuan finished speaking, he saw Li Zhi pull the towel away, and she appeared on the screen.
The beautiful girl was wrapped in a bath towel, holding another towel in front of her to cover up.
"Pervert! I toss a random towel over and you immediately let your mind wander, is that it?!"
Shen Yuan looked at Li Zhi’s exposed shoulder and couldn’t help but gulp.
’I kind of want to take a bite.’
Li Zhi clearly saw what Shen Yuan was thinking and slammed the phone face-down on the bed.
"You can go face the wall and think about what you’ve done!"
Staring at the screen, which had gone black again, Shen Yuan rubbed his nose.
"To be honest, I’d actually really like to ’think about what I’ve done’ like that."
But obviously, that was impossible.
Only after Li Zhi had changed her clothes did Shen Yuan’s screen light up again.
"If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up," Li Zhi said coldly as soon as she picked up the phone.
"Yes, yes, there is!" Shen Yuan said quickly.
With that, he moved fast, pointing the camera at the two sleeping kittens.
"Gengzi, Naonao, say goodnight to your mommy."
The kittens, shaken awake, looked completely bewildered.
San Geng looked speechlessly at Shen Yuan. ’I may not be human, but you’re a real bastard.’
Seeing the two kittens’ expressions, Li Zhi couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
"Okay, okay, don’t disturb their sleep."
"Goodnight, San Geng, Naonao!"
After she said that, Shen Yuan’s face reappeared on the screen.
The beautiful girl’s smiling face immediately soured.
"If there’s nothing, I’m hanging up."
Shen Yuan rolled his eyes at her. "I’ll call you at 5 tomorrow."
Li Zhi immediately hung up.
Shen Yuan rubbed his nose, then also turned off the light and went to sleep.
It’s just that in the middle of the night, Shen Yuan got up. It wasn’t a big deal, he was just being hygienic—washing some underwear, changing into a fresh pair, that sort of thing.
Such a virtuous boy.
Before his alarm went off, Shen Yuan’s biological clock woke him up.
"MEOW!" "MEOW!" "MEOW!"
The moment Shen Yuan opened his eyes, he saw Naonao lying by his pillow, meowing.
Naonao was deaf. When it couldn’t find San Geng, it would always just crouch in one spot and meow, not moving an inch.
San Geng usually had to get annoyed by the noise before it would go find Naonao. Otherwise, even if it were crouching right on top of Naonao, it wouldn’t move a muscle.
Shen Yuan looked at Naonao with a helpless expression.
"Li Naonao, your mom really gave you the perfect name."
Having been woken up, Shen Yuan couldn’t really get back to sleep, so he just decided to get up for the day.
He read until 5:10 AM, then made a video call.
’Anyway, Li Zhi never specified what kind of call. A video call is totally fine.’
Next door, the moment the phone rang, a slender arm reached out from under the covers, fumbling twice in the darkness.
Li Zhi quickly found her phone.
The instant the video call connected, the sudden cold light from the screen caught the beautiful girl off guard. She instinctively covered half her face with her blanket, leaving only a few messy, sticking-up strands of hair to dance playfully at the edge of the screen.
"Time to get up, piggy."
Shen Yuan’s voice came from the other end of the phone, tinged with a hint of teasing.
However, no sooner had he spoken than he saw the camera suddenly flip over and get slammed onto a pillow. All he could see were deep creases being pressed into a pillowcase embroidered with a stars-and-moon pattern.
After a soft rustling sound, the screen lit up again, and Li Zhi’s face appeared.
The beautiful girl’s half-lidded, almond-shaped eyes, illuminated by the screen’s cold light, seemed to glisten with a thin layer of moisture. There were even two cute tufts of hair sticking up on the top of her head, wobbling slightly with her movements.
Still drowsy, Li Zhi looked at Shen Yuan with a confused expression, seemingly not yet fully awake. She mumbled, "Why did you video call?"
"To prove that I was already up."
On the other end of the call, Shen Yuan had already changed into his school uniform. He even showed Li Zhi his desk.
A practice test lay on the desk. Clearly, Shen Yuan had just been working on it.
"You woke up this early?"
Hearing the surprise in Li Zhi’s voice, Shen Yuan nodded, then said with a helpless expression, "Naonao woke me up."
Hearing this, Li Zhi suddenly let out a soft laugh.
"Serves you right!"
Hearing this, Shen Yuan urged, "Get up."
"I know, I know."
Li Zhi’s voice had that unique morning laziness to it. As soon as she spoke, Shen Yuan heard the rustle of bedsheets.
Then, the light in the room turned on.
As Li Zhi sat up from under the covers, her silk nightgown slipped silently off her shoulder, the light shining on her porcelain-white skin.
Strands of her disheveled black hair happened to fall onto her bare, rounded shoulder, brushing against her faintly visible collarbone as she moved.
Shen Yuan froze.
’Is this something I’m allowed to see?’
As Li Zhi sat up in bed, the phone’s camera was still pointed at her.
The next second, Li Zhi violently yanked the corner of the blanket up, her morning-hoarse voice wrapped in flustered anger.
"What are you looking at!"
A shy blush spread across the girl’s face, but her sleepy, pouting anger held no menace whatsoever.
