Chapter 60: Scheming Tea Party (1/2)

It seemed that playing with Miss Mermaid earlier today brought enough enjoyment, allowing Shen Cheng to unexpectedly catch two big fish. Shen Cheng even suspected that Miss Mermaid might have placed those fish on the hook herself.

With two pots cooking simultaneously, using ingredients like scallions, ginger, and garlic, one fish was steamed while the other was braised. Although she wasn’t sure if they heard the noise or smelled the aroma, Lin Yuhui and the three cat girls had already gathered in the kitchen at some point.

Shen Cheng, of course, didn’t miss the opportunity for some free labor, quickly pulling Lin Yuhui and the three cat girls to help out. Soon enough, the two deliciously aromatic fish were served on the dining table.

Lin Yuhui picked up chopsticks and poked at the fish belly, asking suspiciously, “Senior, didn’t you buy these two fish from the market?”

“It’s not.” Before Shen Cheng could speak, the old fishing hand Lin Zhensheng tasted a piece and said, “At this time, it’s impossible to buy such fresh fish at the market. These fish are obviously just caught. Look…”

Lin Yuhui wasn’t interested in fishing knowledge, and Li Mei waved her hand to stop Lin Zhensheng, then invited the cat girls to eat together.

There was nothing to say about Shen Cheng’s cooking skills, as the two big fish, along with the side dishes, were quickly devoured. After the meal, Shen Cheng and the four women sat as usual on a double bed in the room.

“What shall we play next, nya?” Cheese wagged her tail with great interest in playing games and asked first, “Or should we draw turtle cards, nya?”

“No… please, no turtle cards…” Milk Tea’s cat ears drooped instantly, and she said weakly, evidently having some psychological shadow about drawing turtle cards.

“Of course, it’s not turtle cards.” Lin Yuhui laughed softly, pulling out a small box from under the bed: “This is a family game I bought. Just arrived today, called ‘Do Not Do Challenges’!”

“Oh, is this that little online game that was quite popular recently?” Shen Cheng immediately recognized it and showed some interest. After all, playing the same card game and bullying Milk Tea every day was a bit too tedious.

“What is ‘Do Not Do Challenges’, nya?” Cheese, who was always very curious about new things, wagged her tail in such a way that made Shen Cheng doubt whether Cheese was actually a cat Demi-Human or a dog Demi-Human.

Hearing this, Lin Yuhui smiled mysteriously, opened the box, and casually took out a card to put on Cheese’s head.

Cheese touched her head, confused, and asked, “What is this, nya?”

“You can’t look at the content of your own card on your head, or you’ll be breaking the rules.” As soon as Lin Yuhui said this, Cheese immediately put her hands on her lap and sat obediently.

“Well then…” Lin Yuhui smiled slightly, pointing a slender finger at the ceiling above Cheese’s head: “Look at the spider!”

“Nya?!” Cheese’s tail stood up as she quickly looked up at the ceiling. Meanwhile, Lin Yuhui leaned over to take the card from Cheese’s head: “Cheese, you lost!”

“Nya?” Cheese dazedly lowered her head, seeing the card Lin Yuhui had just removed had the words “Look Up” in large characters, and her ears twitched in sudden realization.

“The first one to run out of cards will have to give the other players a back rub,” Lin Yuhui proposed as a penalty for losing. The three cat girls had no objections, while Shen Cheng, with a serious expression, raised a hand: “Uh… what about me?”

“Whether Master gives me a back rub or I give Master a rub, I have no objection,” Sugar said calmly.

“Cheese has no problem with it either, nya!” Cheese replied happily.

“I… I also have no objection…” Milk Tea replied, her face blushing and eyes lowered.

Shen Cheng: “…”
