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 brushing it off. He finally spoke.

　　"Go on."

　　Xia Wei: "..."

　　Why was it that after he agreed, she felt even more embarrassed? 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 Sunshine!" 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 Sunshine 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 Sunshine doesn't make trouble." Xia Wei stroked Sunshine'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 ̄)┌
