Lu Yibei yawned.
Looking at the completed draft.
He couldn't help but praise himself.
"I'm really hardworking!"
He casually flipped through the book's comment section.
What!
Surprisingly, no one praised me for working so hard!
Tears welled up!
My desire to write another chapter vanished instantly.
He stood up and stretched.
Then I checked the time.
It's 5 PM, time for dinner.
He pushed open the door to the second bedroom, which had been converted into a study: "Qian..."
Ji Qingqian was facing the TV screen, fiddling with the controller.
But instead of lounging comfortably on the sofa like I was, she sat up straight, her fair and delicate oval face taut, staring intently at me.
Lu Yibei: ...
He wanted to see what game could possibly stump his heroine.
But Lady Ji not only rubbed the handle, but also made many other useless movements.
Her feet, clad in slippers, were slightly raised, as if she were stepping on something in mid-air.
Although he was holding the handle with both hands, he would occasionally free his right hand to flick the empty space to the side—as if there were some non-existent lever there.
She suddenly stomped her feet repeatedly, then flicked her right hand several times, while chanting incantations:
"Left five, right six! Accelerate! Drift! Drift!!"
Lu Yibei glanced at Lady Ji, then at what was displayed on the TV screen... uh.
—Mario Kart 8.
So you're pressing the clutch and brake with your foot, while your right hand is shifting gears?
I'm practicing driving.
Lu Yibei felt both helpless and amused.
He sat down next to his girlfriend.
Ji Qingqian glanced at him, a hint of a smile appearing in her cool eyes:
"You son of a bitch! How dare you overtake me!"
Before they could finish speaking, they turned their attention back to the game.
This was the most tense and exciting final lap, and even at the very last moment, Lady Ji fired a missile that hit the first-place player in the backside.
But the other team had already crossed the finish line.
Ji Qingqian came in second place.
Lu Yibei: ...
No, with all those fancy moves you could possibly get second place?
Ji Qingqian huffed, "Ah! Bei—"
Lu Yibei: ...
He felt that the reason why Lady Ji ultimately came in second place was not really due to him.
However, while previous mistakes could be made up for, the final mistake just before crossing the finish line was particularly crucial and irreparable.
Ji Qingqian hummed softly:
"As expected of a racer, all you need to do is follow the car and the driver. Men will only affect my gear shifting speed."
Despite her displeasure, she deliberately moved her face closer to Lu Yibei.
It seems to be hinting at something.
Lu Yibei looked at his girlfriend's profile. Her skin was fair and delicate, and her cool eyes held a certain playfulness, which made them appear especially lively as her long eyelashes fluttered.
He gave that person a quick kiss on the cheek, and the latter's displeasure vanished instantly, followed by a satisfied groan:
"Hmm—not bad, not bad... On the other hand, winning too many gold medals makes winning a silver medal occasionally quite enjoyable."
Lu Yibei smiled helplessly: "With such hard work practicing driving, you'll definitely pass the second and third driving tests on your first try."
"That's right."
Ji Qingqian raised her slightly sharp eyebrows: "It's not just about practicing driving; I've also watched a lot of videos to develop my understanding of cars."
"for example?"
"I watched both parts of 'Pegasus' this afternoon—"
While they were talking, Lu Yibei had already arrived in the kitchen.
He looked at the rice cooker; the rice was already cooked.
Ms. Ji even cooked two side dishes: scrambled eggs with tomatoes and stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar.
As for the remaining meat dish...
Her culinary skills weren't up to that level yet, and she wasn't messing around; she was waiting for Chef Lu to handle it.
As Lu Yibei walked over, Ji Qingqian skipped along behind him, talking to him:
"—I'm also planning to rewatch Initial D tonight~"
"A bright future awaits."
While praising him, Lu Yibei started chopping vegetables. There wasn't much to do, so he just made a stir-fry of green peppers and pork.
His girlfriend isn't picky about food; she'll eat whatever he cooks.
"The reason you didn't become the Akina Mountain racing god is simply because Akina Mountain is far from here—not to mention Akina Mountain, once you got your driver's license, you would definitely be the Daming Mountain racing god." Lu Yibei continued to praise in various ways.
Daming Mountain is located at the westernmost point of Hangzhou and is a famous mountain in western Zhejiang Province, connecting to Anhui Province.
"Once I get my driver's license, I'll let you sit in the passenger seat!"
While her boyfriend was chopping vegetables, Ji Qingqian rested her chin on his shoulder.
With Lu Yibei's clattering on the cutting board.
She also started talking non-stop.
At first glance, it looks a bit messy.
But the good thing is that nobody minds.
"Okay," Lu Yibei said with a smile.
Then the two fell silent, into a warm and cozy silence that was not awkward at all.
Ji Qingqian watched her boyfriend cook for a while longer, and then she wrapped her arms around his body.
"Ah Bei~~~"
She acted coquettishly and lazily.
Lu Yibei smiled and said, "Mm~"
"Hungry~"
"It will be ready to eat soon."
"Smells good~"
Lu Yibei thought to himself, "It smells so good even before it's cooked!"
But when he turned around and saw his girlfriend's lips slightly pouting, he understood what she meant.
He immediately kissed her peach-shaped lips.
Ji Qingqian released Lu Yibei with satisfaction, then hopped lightly out of the kitchen with her hands behind her back.
