The elevator came to a smooth stop on their floor, and the doors slowly opened.
Like a bird breaking free from its cage, Xia Qingyue quickly released the armrest she had been gripping tightly, and then naturally and skillfully took Bai Ye's hand, and the two walked into the warm home together.
As soon as Bai Ye entered the door, he headed straight for the kitchen without hesitation and began tidying up the things quickly.
In no time, all kinds of ingredients and cooking utensils were neatly arranged.
He glanced at his watch; the hour hand was almost pointing to four in the afternoon.
It's about time to prepare dinner.
While Bai Ye was busy, Xia Qingyue followed him into the kitchen.
Although she wasn't an expert in cooking, she wasn't completely clueless either.
However, it's hard to say how delicious her cooking is.
After all, her cooking skills were barely edible.
However, Xia Qingyue, who had not seen Bai Ye for a long time, did not want to miss this rare time together.
Even if she couldn't be of much help in the kitchen, she still wanted to stay by Bai Ye's side.
As Bai Ye was focused on tidying up the stove, he suddenly sensed someone approaching from behind.
Looking back, I saw that it was Xia Qingyue who had walked in.
He was somewhat surprised and asked, "Sister Qingyue, what brings you in?"
Xia Qingyue smiled slightly and replied, "Of course I'm here to cook with you! Don't let my seemingly poor cooking skills fool you; I can still do simple tasks like washing and chopping vegetables."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ye's face showed a hint of doubt.
He shook his head and said, "No, Sister Qingyue, what if you accidentally cut your finger? I'd be heartbroken."
Hearing Bai Ye say this, Xia Qingyue's eyebrows furrowed slightly, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied with Bai Ye's concern.
She retorted, "Do you think of my sister as some pampered young lady? This little thing is no problem for me."
Bai Ye quickly waved his hand and explained, "No, no, I was just worried that my sister would get hurt."
Despite Bai Ye's repeated rejections, Xia Qingyue rolled her eyes, quite displeased with her bratty younger brother's caring and protective manner towards a child.
...
With Xia Qingyue's unwavering companionship, Bai Ye finally managed to prepare a sumptuous dinner after overcoming numerous hardships.
The entire cooking process was like a thrilling adventure for Bai Ye.
Because Xia Qingyue stood quietly beside him the whole time, the close proximity made Bai Ye's heart beat faster and faster, as if it were about to burst out of his chest.
What's even more striking is that Xia Qingyue has already taken off her heavy coat, and her long legs are encased in sexy black stockings, with a pair of comfortable slippers on her feet.
She strolled leisurely back and forth beside Bai Ye, her graceful figure and unintentional charm like a gentle breeze brushing across Bai Ye's heart, stirring his emotions and making him lose his composure.
Despite repeatedly reciting the profound truth "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form" in his heart, those enchanting thoughts, like tenacious weeds, grew and spread wildly in the depths of his mind, impossible to shake off.
With great difficulty, Bai Ye suppressed the restlessness and unease in his heart, took a deep breath, and carefully placed the carefully prepared dishes one by one on the dining table.
When he turned around, he found that Xia Qingyue had already thoughtfully served him a fragrant bowl of rice and was smilingly waiting for him to enjoy this warm and cozy dinner together.
The two sat facing each other. Bai Ye had just reached out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of braised pork that looked tempting and smelled delicious, to try it out.
Just then, he suddenly felt a small, delicate, yet somewhat restless foot gently stepping on his foot from under the table.
The kick came without warning, causing Bai Ye to be slightly taken aback.
However, before he could react, the little foot began to slowly climb upwards.
Bai Ye inwardly groaned, unable to resist looking up at Xia Qingyue opposite him.
She was eating her meal as if nothing was wrong, seemingly oblivious to everything that was happening under the table.
Bai Ye rolled her eyes helplessly and said in a low voice, "Eat your food properly! Stop fooling around!"
However, Xia Qingyue seemed to completely ignore his warning. Instead of stopping, she continued to move upwards with increasing boldness.
The little foot was about to approach his most sensitive spot—his brother.
In the blink of an eye, Bai Ye swiftly reached out and grabbed the mischievous little foot.
Upon touching her feet, a delicate and smooth sensation came through, because Xia Qingyue was wearing a pair of thin black stockings on her small feet.
The stockings were of excellent quality, making her small feet feel exceptionally smooth to the touch, making them irresistible.
Bai Ye couldn't help but sigh inwardly: those small feet paired with those stockings are just too alluring!
No! His old foot fetish has resurfaced. Now is not the time to think about these things. He held Xia Qingyue's small feet tightly to prevent her from making any further moves.
Sister Qingyue is going too far! She just got back and she's already teasing me so brazenly!
Doesn't she worry at all that I might suddenly lose my temper and do something heinous and unforgivable?
Thinking of this, Bai Ye couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.
Xia Qingyue, however, seemed completely unconcerned. She casually propped her delicate head up with one hand, a playful smile on her face, and stared intently at Bai Ye before softly saying:
"How is it? Do you like being teased by your older sister like this? If you do, you can massage my other foot too!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ye almost blurted out "Really?"
Fortunately, at the last moment, he reacted in time and quickly cursed himself twice in his mind:
"Pah, pah, pah! Bai Ye, how can you be so lacking in self-control? What's there to look forward to in this? You absolutely cannot be fooled by her sweet talk! I am a gentleman!"
So Bai Ye quickly shook his head vigorously and replied with a serious expression, "Don't joke around, Sister Qingyue, I have absolutely no interest in these things, so don't waste your time trying to tempt me with them!"
Xia Qingyue remained silent, only chuckling softly.
You little brat, you think I can't handle you?
