"You're too much..."

Before Cheng Qicai could finish speaking, her lips were sealed again.

Cheng Qicai wailed, "Can't you even speak properly these days?"

When Gu Rongqi stopped, she felt that her lips were a little swollen.

Given how often Gu Rongqi kisses, will her lips eventually turn into those sausage lips like those in Europe and America?

She couldn't help but think about it for a moment, and was instantly terrified by the image of herself with sausage lips. She felt the hairs on her body stand on end.

She immediately and firmly pushed Gu Rongqi away, focused on washing her vegetables, and ignored him.

Gu Rongqi, who was pushed away, was not angry. He glanced at the resolute Cheng Qicai, smiled, and picked up the vegetables that he hadn't washed properly before and continued washing them.

After seeing that there weren't many vegetables to wash, Cheng Qicai went to cook the hot pot broth.

Waiting for the pot to boil, Cheng Qicai put the ingredients that were not easy to cook into the pot, then turned on the TV and found another movie to play.

The steam rising from the pot, the aroma of hot pot wafting through the air, and the cacophony of movie sounds...

The room wasn't big to begin with, and it felt even smaller when it was crammed full of items.

But seeing all this made Gu Rongqi feel more at ease, his heart overflowing with love, just like the crowded room.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! When I was pouring the duck intestines in, they all slipped down the drain by accident. They'll get tough if we cook them any longer." Cheng Qicai stood up and urged Gu Rongqi while constantly putting more duck intestines into her own bowl.

Seeing her anxious expression, Gu Rongqi's heart softened, and he stood up to pick up the duck intestines from the pot.

Cheng Qicai scooped the pot one last time to make sure there was nothing left before sitting down.

"The shrimp paste is ready too, do you want some?" Gu Rongqi asked, scooping up the shrimp paste from the tomato broth with a spoon.

"Wait a minute..." Cheng Qicai mumbled as she slurped up duck intestines.

Seeing that she was busy, Gu Rongqi put the shrimp paste in an empty plate to cool.

Seeing Cheng Qicai's hard work, Gu Rongqi couldn't help but laugh.

Just then, Gu Rongqi's cell phone rang.

Gu Rongqi took out his phone, frowned, and then hung up.

A few seconds later, Cheng Qicai's phone vibrated.

She picked it up and saw it was Gu Liji's phone call.

She looked up at Gu Rongqi and showed him the incoming call screen, "It's Brother Gu calling."

"Don't answer. He just called me too. It's probably nothing serious," Gu Rongqi said, frowning.

Cheng Qicai hesitated for a moment, then put her phone aside.

A dozen seconds later, the software made a video call.

Cheng Qicai looked at Gu Rongqi helplessly, "Why don't we listen to what Brother Gu has to say?"

Seeing that Gu Rongqi did not refuse, Cheng Qicai answered the phone, "Brother Gu, what's up?"

"No, I just wanted to ask you what the post my brother made meant?"

"What news?" Cheng Qicai didn't know what Gu Liji was talking about, and she glanced at Gu Rongqi in confusion.

On the other end of the video call, Gu Liji clearly saw Cheng Qicai glance to the side. He frowned and asked, "Who are you with? Is it my brother?"

Cheng Qicai hadn't expected him to be so perceptive, and subconsciously glanced at Gu Rongqi again.

This only reinforced Gu Liji's suspicions. Just as he was about to question him, he saw the phone's view shift, and Gu Rongqi's face appeared in the video.

"Is there something you need?" Gu Rongqi asked coldly, looking at Gu Liji in the video.

"No, brother!" Gu Liji chuckled awkwardly, "I just called Cheng Qicai to chat."

"Talk to her?" Gu Rongqi's eyes grew even colder. "Next time, you don't need to talk to her unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Hey, brother..."

Gu Liji hadn't finished speaking when Gu Rongqi hung up the phone.

Seeing his somewhat angry expression, Cheng Qicai hesitantly took her phone.

After waiting for a while, Gu Rongqi asked, "Does he call you often?"

"No!" Cheng Qicai said, somewhat confused. "I call occasionally."

Most of the calls she made were about Gu Rongqi.

“You can just block him,” Gu Rongqi said decisively.

"This is unnecessary!" Cheng Qicai felt that Gu Rongqi had gone a bit too far. Gu Liji was occasionally a bit annoying, but it wasn't to the point of blocking him.

"By the way, what did Gu Rongqi post?" Cheng Qicai took the phone and opened Gu Rongqi's post.

She got back late yesterday and went straight to sleep. Gu Rong got up early today, and she didn't have time to look at these things, so when Gu Liji asked her, she was completely confused.

She clicked on Gu Rongqi's profile picture to check.

There are two posts in total: one is a photo of the dog wearing flowers from yesterday, and the other is a photo of the shopping cart from today.

Although she wasn't in any of the photos, the way she looked in them was quite different.

"When did you take these pictures? I didn't even notice." Cheng Qicai smiled. He really didn't expect Gu Rongqi to post these on his WeChat Moments. No wonder Gu Liji called to ask about them.

He used to post official, formulaic images, like commercial pictures. Before she knew it, she thought she had added Gu Rongqi's work account.

Anyone who saw this would realize that something was amiss, let alone Gu Liji, who was in the know.

Gu Rongqi replied, "It was filmed when I wanted to show it to everyone."

Cheng Qicai looked up from her phone and gazed at Gu Rongqi.

Hearing him say that, Cheng Qicai couldn't help but feel a little guilty, especially since she saw that Gu Rongqi's expression was somewhat unhappy.

To be honest, she did feel relieved when she saw that she wasn't in Gu Rongqi's photo.

Because she doesn't want so many people to know about her relationship with Gu Rongqi yet. Firstly, their parents don't approve, and secondly, their relationship has only just been established and is still unstable.

Although she agreed to Gu Rongqi's proposal, she still held the idea of ​​taking things one step at a time when it came to the future.

So when Gu Rongqi said that, Cheng Qicai understood that he knew some of her thoughts.

Cheng Qicai didn't know what to say for a moment. She moved closer to Gu Rongqi, picked up a piece of the sliced ​​peach with a fork, and put it to Gu Rongqi's mouth.

Cheng Qicai smiled ingratiatingly at him, "Here, have a piece of peach to sweeten your day."

"What's so sweet?" Gu Rongqi asked in a calm tone, but he didn't refuse the peach that Cheng Qicai offered to his lips.

"Uh..." Cheng Qicai didn't expect him to ask such a detailed question; she had just made it up casually!

She thought for a moment, looked at him sincerely, and said, "You can have sweetness anywhere you want, from the top of your head to your heels, okay?"

Gu Rongqi was amused by her nonsensical words and reached out to gently pinch her cheek.

His actions left Cheng Qicai bewildered; she felt that pinching someone's face was not something Gu Rongqi would do.

However, compared to his being a kissing maniac, pinching his cheeks doesn't seem so unacceptable.

Seeing that Gu Rongqi had returned to his previous state, Cheng Qicai sat back in her original seat.
