Qi Jingchen only saw the sentence that said Qin Zifu and Bai Jin were a good match, or rather, he only remembered that sentence. His face darkened. What kind of eyes do they have? Their eyes can be donated. How can they be a good match? Is Bai Jin a good match for them?
"Let's eat first, then we'll watch."
"good"
Qin Zifu walked to the table and saw four dishes and a soup: boiled shrimp, vegetable salad, shredded pork with green peppers, Mapo tofu, and tomato, egg and seaweed soup.
"That's amazing?"
"It saves time; I'll cook you something delicious when I have more time."
Okay, sure.
Qin Zifu was indeed hungry. She had eaten breakfast that morning and first drank a bowl of soup.
"Slow down, it's hot."
"Hmm, it's a bit hot."
Qin Zifu stuck out her tongue; it was hot.
Qi Jingchen pulled the plate of shrimp in front of him, put on disposable gloves and began peeling the shrimp. He lowered his head slightly, his expression was basically blank, and he seemed a bit indifferent, but he did things that did not match his expression.
A few minutes later, Qin Zifu finished a bowl of soup and wanted another one.
"Eat something, you won't be able to eat anything else after one more bowl."
I don't eat much to begin with, and after drinking two bowls of soup, what else can I eat? It's quite economical in terms of food.
As he spoke, he pushed the peeled shrimp in front of Qin Zifu and also pushed the dipping sauce forward a little.
Okay, I'm a little thirsty.
"Eat something first, then drink later."
Qin Zifu took the shrimp and ate it bite by bite, occasionally picking up other dishes. She ate quite a bit of shredded pork with green peppers and Mapo tofu.
I didn't eat much of the vegetable salad; I don't like these lettuce leaves.
In the end, I didn't eat much rice because I was so thirsty, so I drank a bowl of soup instead.
Are you full?
"Okay, I'll pack."
"Take it to the kitchen and put it in the dishwasher."
The two put the dishes in the dishwasher, and Qin Zifu turned around and took out the milk tea and cake from the refrigerator.
"Aren't you full?"
"I won't be full soon, so I'll take it out now so it won't be too cold if I want to eat it later."
"Oh"
Qi Jingchen didn't stop her. He watched her arrange the small cakes, his hands supporting him on the counter, encircling her in the middle. Although he didn't touch her, the damn atmosphere was slightly ambiguous, like that of a newlywed couple.
Qi Jingchen leaned down and whispered in her ear, his chest gently pressing against her back, the warmth making Qin Zifu's back tense.
"Stop making things, you'll eat in a bit. Go wait in the living room for a while."
After saying that, he picked up Qin Zifu and carried her away.
"Qi Jingchen, why do you always hug me suddenly?"
"Couldn't resist watching variety shows with you?"
"Okay, which one do you want to see?"
"Whatever you say, it's fine."
Qin Zifu started watching street dance variety shows.
Qi Jingchen stretched out his legs, leaned back on the sofa, and squinted his eyes.
"It's very good?"
"It's alright."
"Ha, you just stay home and watch this all the time?"
Qin Zifu turned around and glanced at him.
Why are you being so sarcastic?
Qi Jingchen closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Qin Zifu, you're getting bolder and bolder!"
You look at other men right in front of him, and you seem quite fascinated by them?
Just then, Qi Jingchen's phone rang.
Group chat: The daily life of fathers and sons
Ling Zhiyi: Has everyone arrived?
Gu Di'an: Coming soon, change the group name.
Zhou Yixing: I'm here. I've changed the group name.
Qi Jingchen: I'm not going. I've changed the group name.
Ling Zhiyi: Wasn't this a gathering you organized?
Qi Jingchen: I'm busy, I don't have time.
Gu Di'an: Where are you?
Gu Di'an: What are you doing?
Qi Jingchen didn't reply and closed the chat page.
"Are you busy? If you are, go ahead and do your thing. I'm going back now, you don't need to stay with me."
As she spoke, Qin Zifu turned off the TV and prepared to get up.
At this moment, a message popped up on Qin Zifu's phone.
Di'an: Fufu, where are you?
Fu: I just finished eating and am about to go home. What's wrong?
Di'an: It's okay, go home and rest early, don't go out and wander around.
fu: I understand.
Gu Di'an, who was half-awake, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the message from Qin Zifu. He might have been overthinking it. Ever since he saw Qi Jingchen come out of the door opposite Qin Zifu's, he felt that something was wrong. After all, an old charlatan had mentioned it before. But it seems that nothing is wrong. A man's sixth sense is not accurate.
"Why go back? To cry?"
"I'm not crying today, I'm tired."
"Don't go, stay a while, talk to your brother, okay?"
Qin Zifu sat beside her, her eyes lowered, her eyelashes curved, making her look very well-behaved.
"We can chat if we have a drink."
"Hmm? Drinking in the morning and then again at night? Is Fufu an alcoholic?"
"I'm not an alcoholic, it's just a habit. I can't sleep for a long time without drinking."
"Alright, go get the alcohol for the drunkard."
Qi Jingchen took two wine glasses and a bottle of red wine. He first poured the red wine into a decanter, then took her small cake and milk tea. He clearly didn't want her to eat them, but he couldn't resist.
Qin Zifu took a sip of milk tea and wrinkled her nose involuntarily; it was so delicious.
"Is it really that good?"
"Mmm, it tastes good."
Qin Zifu held her milk tea cup, and Qi Jingchen suddenly lowered his head, bit the straw, took a sip, and frowned.
"No, I'll buy it for you later."
Why did they make Bai Jin buy milk tea, and even make it to the trending topics? Why didn't they just let him buy it?
Qin Zifu didn't say anything; she had completely ignored his words.
"Baby, so many people spoil you, it's so hard for me to compete with them, please help your brother, okay?"
"Why are you arguing with them? They've been like this since they were little."
Qi Jingchen poured her a drink and pushed it in front of her, not disturbing her, gesturing for her to continue.
“When I was little, my parents were both busy with work, and my maternal grandparents hadn’t retired yet, so no one took care of me and Gu Dining, or Bai Jin. Then, Brother Di’an would often come over to play with us. We would play at a grandpa’s house in the compound. The military compound was very safe, so our parents didn’t feel at ease.”
Qin Zifu took a sip of wine
"By then, Brother Yu Gui had grown up, so he always looked after us. We would usually go to him when we got into trouble, so we got used to it."
"He and his wife dated for several years before finally getting married. We were all so happy. But not long after the wedding, he went on a mission. Then, five years ago, after I told you that you rejected me, I was unhappy and secretly called Bai Jin and Gu Dining out for drinks. At that time, Bai Jin had already entered the entertainment industry, but she wasn't as famous yet. She could still sneak out for drinks. I also remember that you and my brother had just returned from the army not long ago."
Qin Zifu glossed over many things, only recounting this particular incident.
"Yeah, I've been back for about a year. We all went to university and came back when we were 24. When I was 25, Xiao Fufu confessed her feelings to my brother."
"Now that we've finished drinking, can we not talk about this anymore?"
Qin Zifu pushed her glass forward, and Qi Jingchen tilted his head back and drank the wine in his glass. He then poured some more for her and poured some for himself.
"Ha, what a little drunkard, starting to drink at such a young age. Get up, the carpet's cold."
Qi Jingchen helped her up, threw a cushion down, and made her sit back down.
"Yeah, after drinking that day, we went to Yu Gui's house. His parents didn't seem to be doing well, and his wife, oh, I mean, Sister Luo Dan, wasn't home; she went for a prenatal checkup."
“We asked what happened, and his parents didn’t hide it from us. They knew they couldn’t hide it anyway, so they showed us the photos and videos and told us to take them away so that Sister Luodan wouldn’t see them, because she’s pregnant and they were afraid she couldn’t handle it. We also took Brother Yugui’s phone.”
"I didn't open it at the time, but I understood what had happened, because for a family like ours, this kind of thing is indeed very possible."
