Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Offering myself for the bed.
After serving the tea, Qin Li hesitantly followed Han Yinfeng into the kitchen, leaving the girls to talk on their own.
Han Yinfeng glanced at him, and Qin Li looked at him the next moment. He hid his true emotions and smiled at her. "I heard from my wife that Master Qin has already started discussing marriage. I wonder which lady is so lucky."
Qin Li's face turned pale. "Madam Mu told you this?"
Han Yinfeng still smiled calmly: "What's wrong? Is this not true?"
Qin Li lowered his head, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. Han Yinfeng turned around and started washing the vegetables. Qin Li came back to his senses and went to help him.
"Mr. Han, let me cook for Madam Mu once, maybe..." This will be the last time.
Qin Li remembered what A Mei said when she encouraged him -
"What's wrong with a man taking the initiative? If your initiative makes the teacher relax, wouldn't that be a great thing?"
He came here with this mentality. This was his last chance.
Otherwise, he would have to listen to his mother, give up his thoughts on Mu Xi, and marry another woman.
Han Yinfeng was completely different from what he thought. Whenever he looked at Qin Li, he would think of what Mu Xi had said and had no good feelings towards him at all.
But he remembered how he should behave at this moment, so he gave up his seat. Qin Li sincerely thanked Han Yinfeng.
But Han Yinfeng stood aside and did not leave, under the pretext of wanting to help him. Qin Li said thank you again.
The two of them also started chatting, but it was Qin Li who started it.
"Since we are cousins, why don't you call Madam Mu 'Sister'?"
"We are too distant relatives. We haven't called each other that since we were young."
Qin Li's eyelashes trembled, and he said "Oh", and figured out the problem himself.
"Madam Mu must be worried about the young master's reputation. After all, she is a single woman and a single man, so she is also considering the young master's future."
Han Yinfeng turned his back to Qin Li and washed the vegetables without answering. Qin Li then asked him why he came to see Mu Xi.
After thinking for a while, Han Yinfeng originally wanted to give some bland reasons that would not make a deep impression on people, but before he opened his mouth, he suddenly changed his mind.
He said, "Actually, I've been following Miss Yue since I was little, and this time... I'm here to offer myself to her."
"hiss--"
Qin Li was cutting vegetables and accidentally hurt his finger, but he didn't care about the bleeding finger and turned to look at Han Yinfeng in astonishment.
Han Yinfeng smiled, "How could Master Qin be so careless?" He scooped up some clean water to rinse him, then glanced down and said, "Fortunately, the wound isn't deep."
He looked like a truly gentle person. "Be careful when you get married. If your wife has a bad temper..."
Before Han Yinfeng could finish his words, Qin Li grabbed his hand and asked in a trembling voice, "Does Madam Mu know?"
"Of course I told her from the beginning." Han Yinfeng answered lightly, and even pretended to sigh, "But Master Qin should understand my wife's temper better than I do."
"She rejected you too?"
"So?" Han Yinfeng deliberately stared into his eyes, and then he paused for a long time, as if he was thinking about something. He showed a half-believing and half-doubting look, and then he pulled his hand away and said softly, "I didn't agree directly, but it wasn't a complete rejection either, otherwise he wouldn't have let me stay."
Han Yinfeng turned around and continued to work. Qin Li followed him and asked quietly, "Then you..."
Even between same-sex people, it is inappropriate for unmarried men to talk about these things.
The four words "recommend oneself for the bed" really make people think a lot, and the direction is too clear. Qin Li can't think in a vague direction.
Han Yinfeng's expression also became a little shy, "Of course not, what are you thinking about, Mr. Qin?"
Qin Li didn't know whether he should be happy or not. He thought, fortunately, they haven't developed to that stage yet, but the bad thing is that he will eventually wake up from this beautiful dream.
Mu Xi didn't like him, so she threw aside his sister's face and asked him to choose someone else, but kept this Mr. Han.
Even if he refused temporarily, with her by his side every day, he would eventually soften his heart. Especially since the other person was much closer to Mu Xi than he was in terms of starting point.
Qin Li lowered his head sadly for a while, and Han Yinfeng asked him what he wanted to do and what dish he wanted to cook.
His throat moved slightly, he sniffed, and spoke of his ideas and arrangements.
"My lady, have you ever eaten the dishes cooked by Master Qin before?"
"Yes."
Hearing the answer, Han Yinfeng's smile turned cold, and his tone remained unchanged, "Often?"
"No." Qin Li answered every question, even when he was in a low mood. "Occasionally. In the beginning, my sister was slow to understand, so she always had to trouble Madam Mu to take care of her. Our two families lived close to each other, and my sister liked Madam Mu, so she would bother her whenever she had nothing to do. As time went by, she became more familiar with Madam Mu than the other students. Madam Mu didn't like to cook for herself, but without a man around her, my sister asked me to..."
The sound stopped abruptly.
Qin Li couldn't continue. When he thought of that period, he felt that if he hadn't grown older and had hidden the love in his heart a little better, would those beautiful days have lasted longer?
Unfortunately, he is not an immortal monster, and Madam Mu is not a very dull person. She will always push away those she doesn't like.
Thinking of this, Qin Li turned to look at Han Yinfeng, and Han Yinfeng almost couldn't hide the contempt in his eyes.
Fortunately, Qin Li was in a very excited mood at the moment and did not notice such details. He only saw Han Yinfeng's clear and harmless eyes.
"Mrs. Mu loves sweets, does your Excellency know?"
Han Yinfeng's eyebrows moved slightly, "I... don't know."
Qin Li sighed softly and said, "Madam Mu isn't someone who indulges in lust, even when it comes to food. A few times when we went to the market together, I noticed she always wanted to buy dessert, but hesitated, thinking it might be too expensive. Later, I made some dessert specifically for her, but she ate two and stopped. I was worried I hadn't cooked well, so I asked her about it, but she said it wasn't true. She also said she wasn't very active and would gain weight easily, so she had to eat less."
He couldn't help but shake his head and smiled softly: "How is she fat?"
Han Yinfeng narrowed his eyes slightly.
"The next day, Madam Mu said she had eaten all the snacks and asked me not to make them again."
Han Yinfeng whispered, "If you really like it so much, why don't you let you do it again?"
"Yeah." Qin Li's smile was bitter. "I've thought about it. Maybe she's really afraid of getting fat, but... now that I think about it, it's probably because she likes dim sum, but not the ones I make."
Han Yinfeng listened to Qin Li with an expressionless face, thinking that if he hadn't suddenly appeared, perhaps such repeated and shameless entanglement might have really helped him succeed.
Of course, it was none of his business which man Mu Xi wanted to spend her life with, and he didn't care.
But it’s not possible now. Mu Xi can only like him, must like him, so that she can...
Qin Li opened up and talked about Mu Xi's taste, specifically which dishes he liked, and explained to him in detail how to make them.
Han Yinfeng had an excellent memory; he memorized everything after just one listen. He himself felt helpless. It was a waste of such a memory to use it to remember these things.
However, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing the child.
Qin Li didn't know, but he knew it very well.
Mu Xi had no feelings for him at the moment, let alone falling for him. This matter still required some effort and careful attention.
"Why does Mr. Han like Madam Mu? When did he make his feelings clear?"
"Five years ago." Han Yinfeng spoke without hesitation, "That was the last time we met." It was also the first time.
"As for why I like her..." Han Yinfeng smiled, "It's hard not to like someone like my wife, right?"
Qin Li could empathize with this the most. He sighed deeply and said, "Yes."
In this small place, it is rare to find a woman like Madam Mu Xi.
She lives a simple life, has a clean temperament, is polite in her dealings with others, and maintains just the right degree of distance.
Although Qin Li would occasionally feel sad because of her coldness after they got to know each other, but on the other hand, if he thought about it, it would be such a happy thing if he became the apple of her eye and was treated differently by her.
"Five years ago?" Qin Li forced himself to pull himself out of his beautiful fantasy and asked Han Yinfeng: "What exactly happened?"
Han Yinfeng paused, "She saved me."
Qin Li asked for details, and Han Yinfeng smiled and said no more.
Outside in the yard, Fu Jinxin was still asking Mu Xi about Han Yinfeng.
Mu Xi's understanding of Han Yinfeng was limited to what he had said. After that, there was nothing more to share, and she couldn't tell him everything, so she only picked out a few things to share. However, Fu Jinxin's enthusiasm remained undiminished and she kept asking questions.
"Is he engaged? Has he said what kind of wife he wants? Teacher, do you think I can do it?"
Mu Xi felt that... Fu Jinxin was not very good.
She turned to look at Qin Xing'er, thinking that if Qin Xing'er was interested, she could do some ideological work on Han Yinfeng.
Fu Jinxin knew that Mu Xi meant to say that she was not good enough, and her face fell, "Teacher, you can't be partial to one and ignore the other. What's wrong with me? If Mr. Han follows me, don't worry, I will definitely treat him well."
"What's so good about you?" Qin Xing'er rolled her eyes. "How many young masters do you know? Do you need me to count them for you? Do you know how many sachets and purses you've begged for? With our relationship, you didn't even let my brother go, and now you're coveting the teacher's cousin. You're so bold."
Fu Jinxin pouted and looked very unhappy, but she was still pestering Mu Xi to say nice things.
"I don't want to think about Brother Qin anymore. Teacher, please speak a good word for me on behalf of Young Master Han. If he is willing, I am willing to cut off all my past for him and swear that I will only be with him from now on and will never look at other young masters even once. I swear!" She even pretended to swear solemnly, but Mu Xi and Qin Xing'er didn't take it seriously.
There is always a kind of people who, every time they meet someone they like, they think they are their soul mate, but after a while, they will feel bored.
but……
Mu Xi thought, what if Han Yinfeng liked her? If she rejected him, wouldn't that ruin their marriage?
