Chapter 179 Winter Shopping
"By the way, girl, the Liyue Lantern Festival is in a few days, do you want to go and have fun?"
When dinner was almost over, Liu Bai remembered this and immediately asked Nashida about it.
"Okay, the Lantern Festival must be very lively."
Nashida nodded expectantly.
Although she was imprisoned when she was in Xumi before, she could at least see the excitement of the outside world through the eyes of the people of Xumi. However, she knew very little about festivals in other countries, so she was very interested.
"Well, Brother Fu will have to come with us then."
Liu Bai added another sentence.
Nashida had no objection to this. After all, the teleportation would take only a moment and it would not affect the interest of the two.
After dinner, the two returned to the little white house.
After all, no matter what, the little white house is definitely more comfortable to live in than this small rental house.
In the little white house, the two's only entertainment, apart from being intimate, was reading and playing cards.
But when it comes to playing cards, the two of them can't even play Landlord, so they have to play something simpler, such as the poker game called "Train".
This kind of game, if both players are lucky, can be played for a long time in one game, and both people can have a lot of fun playing it.
"Well, it's getting late. I should take a shower and go to bed."
It was almost time to play, Nashida said after looking at the time.
"Okay, girl, let's go."
Liu Bai nodded, put away the poker cards, and went to the bathroom with Nashida.
"Woo...tail...don't rub it too hard..."
Soon it was time for the back-rubbing segment. Nashida, whose tail was caught by Liu Bai, covered her mouth with one hand to prevent herself from making any strange noises, and spoke with some difficulty.
……
After becoming a cat-eared girl, Nashida seems to have acquired some cat habits.
The most obvious point is that it is nocturnal and becomes full of energy at night.
"You can't rest yet..."
Nashida said as she gently tickled Liu Bai's chest like a kitten.
At the same time, in Liu Bai's rental house.
“Not here…?”
Columbia sneaked into the house, but found no one there.
Due to the special nature of the little white house, she could only feel the breath of the two people coming into the house, and then she could not feel anything at all.
Teleported away...?
Columbia was a little confused.
However, since she couldn't find Liu Bai, she had to leave some marks and then left the rental house.
After walking out the door, looking at the deserted streets outside due to the snow, Columbia slowly withdrew the mental power he used to explore the way and slightly opened his eyes.
Then she tried to move forward...
Bang!
After taking a few steps, she tripped and fell directly on the snow.
"…Pigeons really can't see the road at night."
Columbia calmly explained herself, then tried to get up from the ground, but she almost fell down again because she stepped on her executive coat. Fortunately, the pigeon wings behind her flapped quickly to maintain her balance.
Most birds are blind in the low light conditions of the night, and Columbia, which acquired its pigeon traits, appears to have been affected as well.
Columbia looked around and confirmed that there was no one around before carefully retracting her wings under the executive officer's coat.
With this coat on, ordinary people can't see the changes in her at all.
Then Columbia closed her eyes again and released her mental power to explore the way, just as she usually did, to avoid the embarrassing situation from happening again.
While Colombia couldn't find Liu Bai and had to return, in Sandoni's machinery factory.
"Ding ding, Miss, the test results are out, here is the ingredient list."
"It is rich in various nutrients, has no suspicious or toxic ingredients, and has a normal milk content. This is an ordinary milkshake, and is even good for growing up. It is suitable for you to drink according to calculations."
The self-regulatory agency reported the results of the test on the bottle of milkshake to Sandoni.
However, as a self-regulatory agency, it did not realize that the fact that the milkshake is "purple" might itself be problematic.
"Ah."
Sandoni, who had been busy with research all day and had not finished his meal yet, heard the report from the self-regulatory agency, nodded, and took the bottle of milkshake.
"Didi, why are you crying, Miss?"
……
The next morning, Liu Bai felt something scratching his nose.
I opened my eyes in confusion and found that it was Nashida's tail...
"Wake up, little lazy cat, it's time to eat~"
After waking Liu Bai up, Nashida retracted her tail and urged him on.
"Well, good girl..."
Liu Bai nodded and then sat up from the bed.
After breakfast, the two left the small white house.
After returning to the rental house, Liu Bai felt as if he stepped on something. He looked down and found a pure white feather floating up and landing on his forehead.
'I'll wait for you in the snowy plains tonight.'
Columbia's voice sounded in Liu Bai's mind, and then the feather disappeared.
Liu Bai blinked in confusion, not understanding what that feather was.
"Huh? What's wrong with you? Aren't you going out?"
Nashida looked at the dazed Liu Bai and asked in confusion.
"Oh yeah, girl, let's go."
Liu Bai finally came to his senses and took Nashida's hand and went out together.
It is worth mentioning that as long as no one mentions whether it is cold or not, Liu Bai will not remember that he should be afraid of the cold. Nashida thought of this, so she never mentioned the topic of temperature with Liu Bai during this winter trip.
"Boss, do you have a bigger cat scratching post?"
"And this, I want this cat toy too."
"Catnip? What is this? I'll buy some anyway."
Liu Bai happened to pass by a pet supplies store and pulled Nashida in without hesitation to do some shopping.
"Is there no need for hair removal cream? I don't know how to lick my hair."
Seeing that there was a bottle of hair-removing cream among the things Liu Bai bought, Nashida said somewhat depressedly.
When cats lick their fur, they easily swallow it. At this time, they need this kind of hair remover cream to help dissolve the hair accumulated in their stomachs.
"Girl, you think too much. I am the one who wants to use it."
Liu Bai explained.
"Hate."
Nashida blushed and understood what Liu Bai meant.
"Girl, do you want this?"
After a while, Liu Bai picked up a cat collar with a bell and asked Nashida.
"…If you want to buy it, just buy it."
Nashida said with a red face and turned her head away.
“Okay, I’ll buy this one too.”
Liu Bai bought it without hesitation.
After buying almost everything in the store, Liu Bai and Nashida left the pet supplies store.
With nothing to do today, Liu Bai continued shopping with Nashida, and during the trip they went to an entertainment venue similar to an ice and snow park.
After playing for a day, the two had a candlelight dinner in the quiet hotel before returning to the little white house.
Then it was busy again...
"Good night girl..."
Late at night, the two fell asleep in each other's arms.
At the same time, on the snowy plain outside Winter City.
"..."
Columbia stared at the starry sky in a daze, but whether she could see clearly was a problem.
