Can't Girls Like Girls?

The next morning, it was already past nine when Wang Ge woke up.

After getting dressed and leaving his room, he saw Chen Yanxi, already fully dressed, sitting on the living room sofa reading.

"Awake?"

When she saw him come out, Chen Yanxi closed the book and stood up. "Breakfast is in the pot. Wait a moment while I heat it up for you."

"Love you."

Wang Ge made a heart with his hands toward Chen Yanxi.

Chen Yanxi smiled faintly and walked into the kitchen.

Wang Ge sat down on the sofa, took out his phone, and casually sent Gu Panyan a message:

"Panyan, good morning."

Gu Panyan did not reply, but Wang Ge did not mind. He casually picked up the book Chen Yanxi had just been reading.

The Wealth of Nations.

His older brother had bought it for him. Besides The Wealth of Nations, there were several other classic economics books, in the hope that Wang Ge would read them in his free time and be able to use the knowledge when he managed the company in the future.

Unfortunately, he had absolutely no intention of managing the company. Ever since his brother bought the books for him, he had left them on the bookshelf to gather dust. This was the first time this one had been opened since it arrived at Wang Ge's home.

After flipping through it twice, Wang Ge put the book back.

He really had no interest in this sort of thing.

Looking at Chen Yanxi's figure as she bustled about the kitchen in an apron, a warm smile appeared at the corners of Wang Ge's mouth.

He did not have to wait long before Chen Yanxi came out carrying a bowl of noodles.

"Eat."

"It smells great."

Wang Ge sniffed it, and his appetite immediately surged. "Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Although it was only a simple bowl of noodles, whether it was because of his state of mind or because Chen Yanxi's cooking really was excellent, Wang Ge felt that the noodles she made tasted better than anything he made himself.

"Aren't you supposed to be going to your part-time job? Why didn't you go?" Wang Ge asked indistinctly around his noodles.

"I'm going now." Chen Yanxi untied her apron. "If you'd gotten up any later, I would've left without you."

"So you were waiting specifically for me?"

"I didn't bring my phone. I had to tell you."

Chen Yanxi shook her head. "If you went out and locked the door, I'd have nowhere to go."

"Haha, so that's what you were worried about. Don't worry."

Wang Ge laughed and quickly slurped up the noodles.

After setting down the bowl and wiping his mouth, he smiled. "Let's go. I'll take you to work. I don't even know where you work, so I might as well go take a look."

"Sure." Chen Yanxi did not refuse.

Wang Ge once again wheeled his bicycle out of the parking lot and took Chen Yanxi to work.

On the way, he asked casually, "Xixi, what kind of job do you have?"

"I'm a server at a café."

"A café? What kind of café? A maid café?" Wang Ge's eyes lit up.

"...What are you thinking?" Chen Yanxi sighed helplessly. "It's a Cat Cafe."

"A Cat Cafe?" Wang Ge's eyes lit up again. "Do the servers at your Cat Cafe wear little skirts and cat ears or anything like that?"

"The ordinary servers do, but I don't."

"Huh? Why?" Wang Ge asked, sounding rather unwilling.

"Because I'm the floor manager," Chen Yanxi said.

"Huh?"

Wang Ge was stunned. "You only work part-time once every two weeks, and you can still be the floor manager?"

"Because I'm quite popular. The manager said that every time I work, the Cat Cafe has the most customers."

Chen Yanxi spoke calmly. "I wasn't used to wearing those clothes while so many people stared at me, so I wanted to quit. To keep me, the manager promoted me to floor manager, so I didn't have to wear those clothes anymore."

"Just as expected of my idol. You can make a living off your looks alone."

Wang Ge rode with one hand and gave Chen Yanxi, sitting on the back seat, a thumbs-up with the other.

Then he sighed. "What a pity. I wanted to see what you looked like in one of those cute outfits."

Chen Yanxi thought for a moment. "My outfit is still at the shop. If you want to see it, I can put it on for you."

"Really?" Wang Ge's spirits immediately rose.

"When have I ever lied to you?"

Seeing how happy Wang Ge was, Chen Yanxi's voice carried a hint of laughter as well.

"Yay!"

Wang Ge cheered.

With new motivation, he felt as though he could pedal the bicycle with even more strength than before.

Soon, he had taken Chen Yanxi to the Cat Cafe where she worked.

The moment they entered, several customers called out greetings:

"Yanzi, you're here."

"We've been waiting for you for so long, Yanzi!"

"Yanzi, look at me!"

Chen Yanxi nodded to them, then said to Wang Ge behind her, "I'm going to the back to change. Sit here and entertain yourself for a while. If you want anything to drink, tell me and I'll make it for you."

She acted openly and naturally, not hiding her close relationship with Wang Ge in the slightest.

Wang Ge nodded and found a seat by the window.

Perhaps because Chen Yanxi was working today, the Cat Cafe was fairly crowded.

He casually looked around and found that there were very few men in the Cat Cafe. Most of the customers were girls. The customers who had greeted Chen Yanxi just now were practically all female, and none of them were very old—even the older ones were not that old.

Wang Ge had never imagined that when Chen Yanxi said she was popular, she meant that she was popular with girls!

The customers nearby and the servers wearing little cat uniforms also looked at Wang Ge curiously. This was the first time they had seen Yanzi bring a boy to the Cat Cafe—and such a handsome boy at that. It was hard not to let their imaginations run wild.

"Hey, handsome, what's your relationship with Yanzi?"

Sure enough, one of the more outgoing girls asked him directly.

Wang Ge turned his head and saw that the girl who had asked the question was exceptionally beautiful. She had a fair, delicate face, bright eyes, and pearly teeth. Beneath her curved brows was a pair of limpid almond-shaped eyes that seemed almost capable of speech.

Her looks were in no way inferior to Chen Yanxi's.

"You all call her Yanzi?" Wang Ge did not answer her directly, instead asking with a smile.

"Yeah. She won't even tell us her real name." The girl sighed.

"She has a good sense of self-protection. That's pretty good." Wang Ge praised her.

The almond-eyed girl puffed out her cheeks cutely. "Listen to you. It's not like we could hurt her."

Wang Ge laughed awkwardly, then asked, "Aren't you all girls? Why do you like her so much?"

"What kind of thinking is that? It's so unhealthy! What era are we living in? Can't girls like girls?" the cute almond-eyed girl said, grinning as she criticized him.

"Exactly, exactly. We just like Yanzi. She's so pretty—who wouldn't like her?"

"Don't ask why we like Yanzi. The answer is that Yanzi deserves it!"

"That's right, that's right. Long live Yanzi! Yanzi is the ideal of humanity!"

"Yanzi, go, go, go!"

"I'm Yanzi's dog!"

"Ten miles of peach blossoms can't compare to our glorious praise of Yanzi!"

"Meow, meow, meow!"

The other girls in the Cat Cafe chimed in with laughter.

Several little cats also meowed along, joining in the commotion.

Wang Ge stood there dumbfounded. He had thought he was the only iXi, but he had never expected there to be so many others here—and they were even more fanatical than he was.

No, no, no. They were iYanzi fans, while he was an iXi fan. Those were completely different things!

Just then, Chen Yanxi finished changing and walked out from the back. Hearing their cheering, she immediately rubbed her temples. "Stop fooling around."

The girls immediately quieted down when they saw Chen Yanxi come out.

Chen Yanxi walked over to Wang Ge, placed a cup of coffee on his table, and said helplessly, "Don't listen to their nonsense. Their sexual orientations are perfectly normal. They're only acting like this because I tutor them..."

Wang Ge turned toward the group of girls and, sure enough, saw that each of them had a bag. They were now taking books out of them one after another.

There were high school textbooks and middle school textbooks.

Wang Ge even watched with his own eyes as the almond-eyed girl who had spoken to him first pulled a book out of her bag...

Advanced Mathematics.

Isn't advanced math taking things a little too far?!
