Chapter 159: Ambiguous Stage
Qiao Zhi was staring at his slippers in a daze when Yu Yihuan's video call came in.
In the camera, she was sitting cross-legged on the big bed, her long curly hair naturally falling on her shoulders, and the light from the lamp above her head cascading down, making her look even more gentle and peaceful.
"What? Did you miss me?" Qiao Zhi narrowed his eyes and smiled at her, joking with her.
"Heh--" In the camera, Yu Yihuan raised her chin proudly, looking unhappy.
Qiao Zhi lazily slumped onto the sofa, casually pulling a pillow behind him and asking, "Who has offended our Yu Meiren again?"
Yu Yihuan's face puffed up, and her tone was even more sour, "I haven't even tasted the sweet and sour fish you made!"
Qiao Zhi's brows twitched fiercely, "How did you know?"
"Mr. Cheng even posted it on his Moments. It's a feast of four dishes and a soup. It's quite sumptuous."
Qiao Zhi had no idea about this. After hearing what she said, he quickly exited the video interface between the two of them and went to check his Moments.
Then···
He pinched his eyebrows with a headache.
That guy, will he die if he doesn’t talk nonsense?
Not only did he talk nonsense in front of her, but he even showed off on WeChat Moments.
With his status, he must have at least 8,000 friends on WeChat, if not 10,000. Yet, he posted such a cheesy circle of friends...
Qiao Zhi even wanted to live on another planet.
"Sister Qiao, Sister Qiao?" Yu Yihuan kept talking for a long time, but there was no response from the other end, so she couldn't help but raise her voice.
Qiao Zhi exited the circle of friends and raised his phone again to video chat with her.
"Come to my house someday and I'll cook for you."
Yu Yihuan didn't really call for food, she just wanted to find out what was going on between her and Cheng Shao.
The last time they met, she advised Sister Qiao to give Cheng Shao a chance and also give herself a chance.
They both have started eating three meals a day, so they should be following her advice, right?
"You and Mr. Cheng, you two..." In the camera, Yu Yihuan winked at her.
Qiao Zhi couldn't help but blush.
She wanted to say that nothing had happened between them before, but in fact—
She already has men's slippers, how can she still say that nothing is wrong?
But she couldn't tell what they were at this stage.
Couples are not lovers, lovers are not lovers...
At best, it is an ambiguous stage.
When Yu Yihuan saw Sister Qiao’s blushing face, the gossip fire in her heart burned even more fiercely.
She glanced at the door with her dark eyes, and after making sure that her Mr. Fu had not come up, she immediately lowered her voice and shared her love journey with Sister Qiao as a person who had experienced it.
"...wasn't I the same as you at first, thinking it was just a deal? Aren't we all happy now?"
"You will understand once you experience it..."
Halfway through her words, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open. Yu Yihuan said good night to her guiltily and quickly hung up the phone.
Fu Hongsheng walked over and sat down beside the bed. "What are you whispering about? Why don't you allow me to listen?"
Yu Yihuan smiled bitterly, "That's not the case."
Fu Hongsheng pinched the little girl's nose and said, "If you lie, your nose will grow longer!"
After saying that, he took the little girl into his arms, held her little face and kissed her.
Qiao Zhique was upset by her words and tossed and turned in bed, almost unable to sleep the whole night.
Fortunately, the next day was a rest day, so I could sleep in and do whatever I wanted.
However, the doorbell rang at nine o'clock in the morning. She guessed that it might be Cheng Jingxuan, so she quickly got up and tidied up.
Ever since I decided to give him and myself a chance, I started to pay attention to my image in front of him.
When she got dressed and opened the door, it was indeed him.
He was carrying a lot of things, big and small, and yelling at her to get out of the way.
Qiao Zhi slightly turned sideways and let him in.
Her brows knitted slightly as she stared at him and asked, "What are those?"
"Some food and drinks that my parents brought back from abroad."
His parents?
Qiao Zhi's heart trembled slightly.
I met her grandparents some time ago. Does this mean I have to cooperate with him to meet his parents?
She's really not good at acting.
He is also not good at getting along with elders.
Just thinking about that scene gave her a headache.
Just when she was distracted, the guy actually took out a toothbrush and a cup from the bag, and even men's pajamas?
What are you doing?
Before she could stop him, the guy had already put the toothbrush, toothbrush and a set of men's toiletries into the bathroom.
Qiao Zhi immediately ran after him, "What are you doing?"
Someone came out of the bathroom and leaned against the doorway, grinning at her, "Just in case I need this if I stay over at your place one day."
Qiao Zhi's cheeks flushed slightly, and he retorted fiercely, "Who asked you to stay overnight?"
Cheng Jingxuan raised his eyebrows and smiled. When she wasn't paying attention, he reached out and gently scratched the tip of her nose, like teasing a little girl, "You!"
Qiao Zhi had never been touched like this in her life, and her cheeks turned completely red.
The tip of my nose, which was lightly rubbed by his fingertips, felt as if it were burned by a flame, and it was burning hot.
As he subconsciously raised his hand to pat him, his brows darkened.
"Get out of here if you don't behave properly!"
Cheng Jingxuan immediately said something nice, "I was wrong, don't chase me away."
"I haven't even had breakfast yet and I'm here to bring you something. You should at least give me something to eat, right?"
However, Qiao Zhi seriously suspected that this guy treated him as his nanny.
"Don't think about it!" She said, turned around and walked towards the bedroom, ready to go back to sleep.
"So cruel?" Cheng Jingxuan raised his foot to chase after him, but when he reached the door, there was a "bang" and the door was closed, almost hitting his neck.
"You woman!" There was nothing she could do even though she was angry, so she turned around and continued to pack up the things he brought.
After placing them one by one in the refrigerator, he skillfully took out eggs, vegetables and noodles and started to get busy.
Qiao Zhi lay back on the bed, but he still felt uneasy when he heard the noise outside.
Wouldn't that guy blow up her kitchen?
After enduring it again and again, he finally couldn't hold back his anger, opened the door and walked out.
"Wow, you really have a good sense of timing. You guessed I was done, right?"
"You're in for a treat today, go wash your hands!"
Qiao Zhi glanced at it and asked, "Can you swallow it?"
"Hey—" Cheng Jingxuan didn't like what he heard. "Do you think I was starving and living on poverty all those years abroad?"
If I didn’t have a few specialties, I would have starved to death in a foreign country.
However, Qiao Zhi looked at his arrogant look, curled his lips calmly, and went into the bathroom to wash his hands.
When she came out, Cheng Jingxuan had already pulled out a chair for her, "Your Majesty, please sit down."
Qiao Zhi, however, frowned, walked over and sat down, then picked up his chopsticks and took a bite.
hmm~
It's quite like that.
I really underestimated him.
Cheng Jingxuan stared at her eagerly, "How is it?"
Qiao Zhi, however, said in a cold tone, "Just make do."
"Of course it's not as good as yours, but it's still delicious, right?"
Qiao Zhi raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then snorted unhappily, "You're not modest at all."
What’s the use of being humble?
Being modest means you can’t get a wife.
The first thing his parents did when they came home was to scold him.
If he doesn't hurry up, he will have no chance of survival at home.
If you don't just try to save face, you have to do something to show them.
His shrewd eyes turned, and he said mysteriously: "I'll take you somewhere later."
