"Senior." Dubian Cat responded.
"...Che?"
Wearing loungewear, Mayi Asuka walked straight into the bedroom—she had slept here numerous times before.
Dressed in a light pink V-neck thin sweater for spring, she revealed a bit of enticing collarbone.
Below, she wore a white long skirt, the waist tucked into her sweater, giving her a relaxed and peaceful demeanor.
Just a week into the university term, she had already matured a lot—from a beautiful girl into a lovely woman.
In fact, other than changing from a school uniform to casual clothes, Mayi Asuka herself hadn't actively made any changes.
Even those changes that could alter her appearance the fastest, like dyeing her hair or changing hairstyles, she hadn't done.
If there were reasons for the change, it probably would be the nights spent with Dubian Che or maybe even severing ties with her parents—having a lover, savings, a house, a rich and happy life.
Mayi Asuka looked at the Dubian Che in front of her, slightly tilting her head, showing a confused expression.
Xiaoquan Aonai calmed down and spoke before Dubian Cat, who was still admiring senior.
"Senior." Her voice was identical to Dubian Cat's.
The delicate features of Mayi Asuka suddenly furrowed, as if slightly nauseous.
"What's wrong, Senior?" Xiaoquan Aonai quickly got out of bed and walked over with concern.
Dubian Cat was already shocked, his brain buzzing.
This symptom, could it be, she was pregnant?
Mayi Asuka's complexion grew paler, and Dubian Cat came to his senses from the shock.
He was about to speak with concern when the two people in front of him suddenly had an issue.
First was Mayi Asuka, who was staring motionlessly at Xiaoquan Aonai.
Her clear eyes, like summer springs, now held a faint confusion and deep alienation.
Being stared at motionlessly with such a gaze, Xiaoquan Aonai's initially intended supportive hand hung in the air, undecided.
The two of them were like a painting, frozen in place.
"Smile a bit," Mayi Asuka suddenly said.
"Huh?" Xiaoquan Aonai was slightly startled.
"Smile a bit," Mayi Asuka repeated.
"Oh, okay." Xiaoquan Aonai came to her senses and revealed a smile.
Looking at this smile, Mayi Asuka finally slightly lowered her head, her black hair swaying, covering her eyes.
"Not right, it was normal at noon," she murmured, seemingly questioning herself.
"Senior, what exactly is wrong? Is there something uncomfortable with your body? Do you want me to call a doctor?" Xiaoquan Aonai asked with concern.
Dubian Cat leisurely sat on the bed. His brilliant mind had already grasped the situation—up until noon, he still resided in his own body.
It wasn't pregnancy!
If possible, he would still hope to have children with Jiutiao Meijie first, but this was merely a thought, it was the same if Mayi Asuka did first.
Mayi Asuka lifted her head, her black hair falling to either side, looking at Xiaoquan Aonai again.
Her gaze was as deep as the ocean floor, devoid of emotion.
Like looking at a stranger.
This kind of gaze made Xiaoquan Aonai suddenly feel uneasy, guiltily swallowing saliva.
"Sen, Senior?" she tentatively asked.
"Dubian... I think..." Mayi Asuka's voice was devoid of any emotion, "I don't love you anymore."
"..."
"Hey, hey, wait a second." Thinking Mayi Asuka had recognized that the person in front of her wasn't himself, Dubian Cat wanted to enjoy Xiaoquan Aonai's situation, but instead, he got hurt himself.
Hearing the voice, Mayi Asuka looked over.
The person and the cat gazed at each other.
Facing this suddenly speaking cat, she showed no fear.
Her eyes, like springs, rewinded like a movie, going from emotionless to gradually rising confusion, and finally returning to the detached yet tender look she had when she first entered the bedroom.
She walked over, quietly observing Dubian Cat for a while, then suddenly pounced on him.
"Che... Che..." She buried her face in the cat's belly, her cheeks turning rosy.
"Wait, wait, wait!" Dubian Cat quickly jumped away.
"Che... Che..." Mayi Asuka climbed onto the bed.
Her hands supported on the bed, she knelt and edged closer step by step.
At this moment, she was the one resembling a cat, while the Dubian Cat at the head of the bed became the mouse.
The white, soft bedsheets kept the "footprints" of her palms.
"Senior!" Dubian Cat raised his paws, pressing against Mayi Asuka's smooth forehead.
"Che?" Mayi Asuka's eyes filled with doubt.
Dubian Cat couldn't understand, really couldn't understand.
Who should be confused here?
Is it okay as long as it's him, even if it's a cat?!
"Senior, calm down for a bit, when Little Koizumi comes back, I can transform again."
"Little Koizumi?" Mayi Asuka remained in a cat's pose, turning back to look at Xiaoquan Aonai, who was covering her face.
"You, hello, I'm sixteen-year-old Xiaoquan Aonai!" Xiaoquan Aonai spread her fingers, looking at the one person and one cat on the bed.
"Huh?" Mayi Asuka tilted her head, puzzled, her black hair sliding down like flowing water.
Ten minutes later.
Xiaoquan Aonai sat at the foot of the bed, explaining where she came from, why she came, when she would return.
Across from her, Mayi Asuka leaned against the head of the bed, sitting with knees bent.
She buried her face in Dubian Cat's belly, rubbing it over and over, comfortably.
Xiaoquan Aonai spoke a sentence, glanced at Mayi Asuka once, looked around elsewhere twice; then spoke another sentence, looked at her twice more, and so on and so forth.
"That's basically it."
"Um, I got it," Mayi Asuka said with her face buried in the cat fur.
'You're not listening at all!'
Xiaoquan Aonai finally understood what Kiyono Lin meant when she said 'Mayi Asuka is hopelessly in love with Dubian Che,' 'She won't care about your issues at all.'
"Little Koizumi," said Dubian Cat, not knowing if it was torture or enjoyment, "when are you going back?"
