I Seem Unsuited for Dating Chapter 42

　　Jiang Zhi Zhou stared back blankly at her, as if trying to decipher the meaning of the sentence. Meanwhile, Xia Wei maintained her posture, though her face was already crumbling. She had said what she did just now on impulse. If he refused, how humiliating would it be?

　　"Er..." Since Jiang Zhi Zhou had not responded, she tried to find a way of gracefully brus.h.i.+ng it off. He finally spoke.

　　"Go on."

　　Xia Wei: "..."

　　Why was it that after he agreed, she felt even more embarra.s.sed? She coughed twice. Her eyes raked his face, looking for a place to plant her lips.

　　At least it was easy to work with a large area.

　　Ugh, just do it!

　　Deciding on a plan, Xia Wei slowly leaned over toward Jiang Zhi Zhou. Her hair swept over Tangerine's nose, causing him to meow indignantly.

　　Jiang Zhi Zhou couldn't even blink as he watched her make her way closer. Xia Wei closed her eyes shyly and kissed him on the cheek.

　　It was unlike when he had kissed her. The skin of his face wasn't as soft, and she couldn't feel his warm breath. But her heart beat fast without slowing, and she felt the distinct pleasure of theft.

　　Sigh--

　　After the kiss, Xia Wei felt relieved. It hadn't been as difficult as she had imagined.

　　"Is that it?" asked Jiang Zhi Zhou.

　　Xia Wei: "..."

　　This little step was already quite big for her, alright?!

　　"What more do you want? I just asked for a kiss. I definitely wouldn't want to take advantage."

　　Jiang Zhi Zhou couldn't help but laugh, his chest vibrating. "Fine, but you really don't need to ask about something like that. You can just kiss me."

　　Xia Wei: "..."

　　"Ahem, um, so, we should find a day to neuter Tangerine and Suns.h.i.+ne!" Xia Wei threw Tangerine under the bus.

　　Tangerine: "Mrooow?"

　　On a bright and sunny day, Jiang Zhi Zhou and Xia Wei finally brought Tangerine and Suns.h.i.+ne in for sterilization. The operation, coupled with their careful ministrations afterward, was very successful. Still, although the two animals' wounds recovered quickly, Tangerine was furious and set a cold face toward Jiang Zhi Zhou and Xia Wei for several days.

　　"Only our Suns.h.i.+ne doesn't make trouble." Xia Wei stroked Suns.h.i.+ne's fur, and looked at Tangerine's solitary, lonely figure. "We should probably close the windows these next couple days, or he might jump off the building."

　　"I'll keep an eye on him." Jiang Zhi Zhou walked over with Tangerine's food bowl. The orange cat smelt the aroma and finally relented.

　　"Poor Tangerine, it's hard to be a cat," Xia Wei couldn't help but sigh. She used to think that cats had it good, but she was now rethinking her stance. Jiang Zhi Zhou looked at her out of the corners of his eyes and said, "Weren't you the one chanting non-stop for sterilization?"

　　"...It's for his own good!" Feeling guilty, Xia Wei took a photo of Tangerine's indifferent back and spread it around to her girlfriends.

　　Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: I took Tangerine in for sterilization. He's recovering well, but Uncle Meow is terribly angry. He's been sulking for the past several days. ( ̄Д ̄)┌

　　Eight Treasures Congee Female Hero: You guys just cut off his b.a.l.l.s! It's already generous of him to forgive you, but you expect him to still look kindly upon you? Foolish humans.

　　Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: But Suns.h.i.+ne was such a good boy, not giving us any trouble at all!

　　Eight Treasures Congee Female Hero: So he's a dumb dog. Cherish him.

　　Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: ... you're the dumb dog :)

　　Not Losing 5kg Not Changing Name: Students, I shall surely be back next month! Bless me!

　　Eight Treasures Congee Female Hero: Finally, we'll be together again! Applause!

　　Invincible Little Sweetie: Actually, aren't your circ.u.mstances overseas pretty good? It wouldn't be a bad thing if you stayed there.

　　Not Losing 5kg Not Changing Name: They're good, but I don't really want to stay! It's just not the same as the motherland.

　　Invincible Little Sweetie: Hahahaha, then come back! Are you going to be in D city or A City?

　　Not Losing 5kg Not Changing Name: Definitely A City! You're all there!

　　Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: Should I move out, or would you condescend to live with me?

　　Not Losing 5kg Not Changing Name: Oh, are you moving downstairs?

　　Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: ... We're trying not to move so fast, okay? orz I'll vacate the master bedroom and move into the guest.

　　Not Losing 5kg Not Changing Name: Oh, don't bother.

　　Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: It'll be better if you stay in the master bedroom. I'll clean it up. By the way, do you mind Suns.h.i.+ne being around? If you do, I'll send him over to Mr. Jiang.

　　Not Losing 5kg Not Changing Name: The dog stays, you move in with Mr. Jiang.

　　Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: ...

　　With Twiggy coming back soon, Xia Wei hurriedly began cleaning. Originally, she had been as neat as a pin, but ever since Suns.h.i.+ne moved in there was dog hair everywhere in the house. Feeling like the amount of work left was insurmountable, Xia Wei sent Suns.h.i.+ne downstairs to accompany Tangerine for a while, and called for Mr. Jiang to help her clean up.

　　"You do know that after all your hard work cleaning, the dog hair will just return once your friend moves in." Jiang Zhi Zhou, in an ap.r.o.n, was cleaning fur off the sofa. Xia Wei said, "It'll always be necessary to clean a little... well, I mostly care about the master bedroom. Once I move into the guest bedroom, I won't let Suns.h.i.+ne into the master bedroom anymore."

　　"Didn't you say your friend doesn't mind dogs?"

　　"That's what she said, but when one travels a long way to come home, one likes the place to be clean."

　　"Are you done packing, then? I'll help you move everything into the guest bedroom."

　　"I hung up my clothes, so there's just a few bits and pieces left."

　　"Gotcha." Jiang Zhi Zhou went to the master bedroom to help her move. Xia Wei used to work at a fas.h.i.+on magazine, so there were a lot of them in the house. She had packed them into cardboard boxes to facilitate moving. Jiang Zhi Zhou hauled one up - it was incredibly heavy.

　　After moving all her things out, the master bedroom suddenly looked very empty. Jiang Zhi Zhou thought Xia Wei might want to take the bed apart herself. He peered at her dressing table and found a small box for the items inside.
