Chapter 41 I Love This Place
# Chapter 40 I love this place
When Qiao Shuyan and Wen Qingluo came down, Liang Yu and Feng Zhi had just finished a game. Feng Zhi won and was yelling at Liang Yu to transfer money. Liang Yu took the phone and transferred the money to him, and then Qiao and Wen pushed the door open.
You need to swipe your card to enter the activity room of the B&B. The hall is divided into several function rooms. There is only one billiard table in the billiard room. There are also chess and card rooms, audio-visual rooms, board game rooms and gyms next to it. It can be said that it has everything from mahjong to small and dirty. For guests of the B&B, the activity room is free, but for outside guests, it is charged by time. You can play whatever you want after entering, but you need to queue up if there are people.
Qiao Shuyan handed two cups of coffee to Liang Yu and asked him to guess which one he made. Liang Yu answered correctly at once. Qiao Shuyan found it boring, but then he thought that they had known each other for so many years, so it seemed natural that they could taste each other's coffee.
After the two people came, Feng Zhi stopped playing billiard, saying that it was rare to get four people together, so he wanted to play mahjong.
Qiao Shuyan was not in good health today and could not go out for activities, so he agreed. However, he was not very good at playing, so the remaining three taught him together. After playing a round, he understood the rules. Then, it was as if he had entered the novice protection period. Qiao Shuyan made all kinds of mistakes throughout the afternoon and did not let anyone win a single game.
Liang Yu and Wen Qingluo were in a stable mood. They just transferred money when they lost. Only Feng Zhi was making a fuss. He cried and yelled as if losing had cost him half his life. It was not until Wen Qingluo rolled her eyes at him without saying a word that he finally calmed down.
After playing mahjong for an entire afternoon, Qiao Shuyan made a lot of money, but his waist and buttocks also hurt.
After playing enough, several people started to prepare dinner. The old lady in the B&B made some home-cooked dishes. They felt that the house was boring, so they moved the tables and chairs to the garden in the yard and drank and chatted around the table. Knowing that Qiao Shuyan had a poor alcohol tolerance, Wen Qingluo specially took out the low-alcohol fruit wine that he and Feng Zhi brewed together to share. They brewed several kinds of fruit wine. Qiao Shuyan took a sip of each. He liked the peach flavor the most. It was brewed from peaches that Wen Qingluo and his friends picked locally last year. The peach flavor was very strong and there was almost no alcohol flavor, but Liang Yu still only gave him a small cup to control the total amount.
As a result, they didn't eat much of the meal or drink a sip of the wine because the weather suddenly changed and heavy rain poured down. Without giving anyone any time to react, the four people and a table of rice were instantly turned into four chickens in soup and a table of "rice soaked in soup".
Qiao Shuyan got a little tipsy after drinking a little bit of alcohol. He was originally conscious but looked gloomy. Suddenly, he was hit by heavy rain. The poetic mood of being tipsy under the moon and flowers disappeared, and he was left with a flustered state.
The old lady and the waitress helped them hold the umbrella. The four of them were still not satisfied and wanted to enjoy themselves under the umbrella for a while longer. However, the rain was pouring down and they could no longer enjoy themselves. They could only put down their work and go into the house.
The four of them went back to the house to change clothes, and when they returned to the living room, grandma and the little sister had already packed up and went home.
"..." The four of them stared at each other. It was impossible to eat the meal in this state.
After a while, Qiao Shuyan, who had sobered up, said, "I'll go make some."
There is a medium-sized kitchen in the B&B, which is fully stocked with firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. There are also vegetables, eggs and meat in the refrigerator, so it is not difficult to cook a meal.
Qiao Shuyan put on an apron, found various ingredients from the refrigerator, and started preparing. Liang Yu came over to help him.
Wen Qingluo plunged into the computer and started working, while Feng Zhi picked up a book and pretended to read it.
It was raining heavily outside, but the house was peaceful. There were the sounds of cutting vegetables and cooking, the sounds of typing on the computer, and the occasional exchanges between a few people. Everything about it made people feel so safe.
This place seems to have a magical charm of tranquility, no wonder Wen Qingluo named the B&B "This Place Where My Heart Is at Peace".
Amid the rising smoke, Qiao Shuyan soon prepared a table full of delicious dishes.
They chose a table by the window. After the dishes were served, Feng Zhi couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect Xiao Qiao to have this skill!"
Qiao Shuyan waved her hands shyly, "Nothing, nothing!"
Although Qiao Shuyan cooked very quickly, it was already late and everyone was interrupted by the rain before they could eat more than a few bites. So everyone was hungry at this time. Seeing the table full of food, they were all hungry. So they stopped talking and picked up their chopsticks to eat.
Although the food in the B&B is quite rich, Qiao Shuyan's cooking skills are somewhat limited since he doesn't buy the food himself. However, there are all kinds of hot dishes, cold dishes, staple foods and soups. The cold dishes include tofu with spring onions, cold celery and cold shredded vegetables. The hot dishes include scrambled eggs with tomatoes, diced chicken in Kung Pao sauce, braised eggplant, chicken wings with cola and beef rice. The soup is a West Lake beef soup and the staple food is rice.
These meals were simple and easy to make, but even so, Qiao Shuyan still received unanimous praise from the three, especially Feng Zhi, who praised him endlessly. For a moment, Qiao Shuyan didn't know what to say, so he just shut up and ate in silence.
During the meal, Feng Zhi took out the half-drunk glass of wine and poured it for everyone. Then everyone started drinking again with the cold dishes prepared by Qiao Shuyan.
Feng Zhi was playful and he became a little noisy after drinking. He clamored to play Knock Seven, and the loser would be punished by drinking wine.
When Qiao Shuyan heard that he was going to knock seven, his alarm bells immediately went off, fearing that he would have to drink if he lost. As a result, what he feared came true, and he was the first to make a mistake. Qiao Shuyan had no choice but to go get the wine, but Liang Yu held his hand and said, "I'll drink for him."
Feng Zhi said: "No, don't be so naughty!"
"I'll drink two glasses for him." Liang Yu insisted.
Qiao Shuyan: “…I can drink it by myself…” His voice gradually faded away under Liang Yu’s increasingly stern gaze.
Thinking about it, both of his drunken behavior happened in front of Liang Yu, so it was normal that the latter didn't want him to drink. In addition, he couldn't find his way around after drinking, so it was not good to show his drunken state in front of Wen Qingluo and the others. Qiao Shuyan no longer insisted and was determined not to make any more mistakes.
Fortunately, the only gaming black hole among the four people was Feng Zhi, who had a good alcohol tolerance and was defeated again and again. Qiao Shuyan watched him drink one cup after another, but he was not drunk at all. It seemed that Feng Zhi was a man whose talent lay in his physique.
"How much can he drink?" Qiao Shuyan asked Liang Yu in a low voice.
Liang Yu smiled: "I've never seen him drunk."
"...Terrible." Qiao Shuyan felt that he and Feng Zhi were two extremes.
Moreover, ever since Liang Yu set the precedent of drinking for Qiao Shuyan, Feng Zhi would also drink for Wen Qingluo when he lost.
In the end, it became a drinking contest between Feng Zhi and Liang Yu, but Liang Yu didn't lose much, so most of the wine went into Feng Zhi's stomach, leaving Qiao Shuyan speechless.
I don't know when the heavy rain outside turned into light rain, hitting the roof and the yard. I think the flowers in the yard will bloom more beautifully tomorrow morning.
Regardless of whether he won or lost the game, or how much wine he drank, this comfortable feeling made Qiao Shuyan want to stay here for a long time.
I don't know how long they played, but Wen Qingluo was the first to call for a stop. Everyone cleaned up the table and went back to their rooms.
When Qiao Shuyan thought about leaving here tomorrow, he felt reluctant, so he lowered his head and sighed to Liang Yu: "I love this place so much."
There are no worldly troubles here, the environment is beautiful and the atmosphere is peaceful. There is no place more comfortable than here.
"We can come here often. I should also enjoy the treatment as a partner." Liang Yu smiled and rubbed his head.
The two returned to the room, both feeling a little lazy, so they casually took off their shoes and went to bed.
Qiao Shuyan nestled in Liang Yu's arms, humming, "You should have told me earlier that there is such a good place."
Liang Yu thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there was no chance before."
The two of them lay in bed for a while, the rhythmic sound of raindrops hitting the roof outside made them drowsy. Qiao Shuyan leaned on Liang Yu and was about to fall asleep, but Liang Yu didn't let him sleep and said to him, "Go brush your teeth first."
Qiao Shuyan turned over, groaned and refused.
Liang Yu said: "Not doing it today?"
Qiao Shuyan opened her eyes and met Liang Yu's smiling eyes.
“……”Qiao Shuyan’s face turned red again.
Liang Yu looked at him and raised his eyebrows: "Really not doing it?"
"You don't let me drink, just because of this?" Qiao Shuyan asked in a tone of accusation.
Liang Yu cried out that he was wronged: "It was because of drinking that I hurt myself!"
"...Then it won't hurt you if you drink it?" Qiao Shuyan glanced at him.
"I don't want to hurt you." Liang Yu said seriously.
Qiao Shuyan looked at those black hole-like eyes and couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster. Then she leaned on the bed and kissed him, saying vaguely, "I don't want to hurt your body either."
Liang Yu smelled of fruit wine. The fresh fragrance of the fruit and the mellowness of the wine made people feel tipsy just by smelling it. Qiao Shuyan couldn't help but put his hands around his neck, thinking that he didn't know how much overtime this guy would have to work when he got back, so he really couldn't let him go today.
So, the two of them kissed and rolled into each other. Before they knew it, Qiao Shuyan was naked, and Liang Yu was also stripped down to just a T-shirt.
There was almost no concealer left on Qiao Shuyan's neck, but the red mark was still faintly visible, as if tempting Liang Yu to plant something more there.
However, despite having drunk a lot of wine and being extremely erect at this moment, Liang Yu's remaining rationality still made him stay away from Huiguo's exposed skin and instead attacked Qiao Shuyan's equally red bear mouth.
Despite this, considering that he had to travel quickly tomorrow, Liang Yu somewhat controlled his desires and did not make Qiao Shuyan almost faint like he did last night.
After the two of them had sex once (Liang Yu's once), Liang Yu carried Qiao Shuyan to the bathtub to take a bath, washing off all the messy liquids on his body. Then the two of them stayed intimate in the bathtub for a while before returning to bed.
Although he did almost nothing that day, Qiao Shuyan felt a little tired when he lay on the bed. But he felt at peace in his heart, and thought that if he could live like this day after day, there would be nothing wrong with it.
This town and Wen Qingluo's homestay are like a paradise, making people linger. Qiao Shuyan feels that he can completely understand why Wen Qingluo is fascinated by this town, and especially understands his reluctance to leave here with Feng Zhi. This place seems to have a magical power that makes people always calm and yearn for it. It is really hard to leave it.
At some point, Liang Yu turned on the projector in the room and randomly picked a movie to play. Qiao Shuyan listened to the quiet dialogue, nestled in Liang Yu's arms, occasionally looking up to glance at the movie screen. She looked extremely lazy, but also had a bit of post-love affection, and her fair face was stained with charm.
"When will you come next time?" he suddenly asked in a low voice.
Liang Yu didn't hear clearly and said "hmm" in confusion.
"I said I don't know when I will come next time." Qiao Shuyan raised his voice a little, "And I don't know if Feng Zhi and the others will still be here next time. I quite like them both."
"If they're not here next time, just ask them to come along." Liang Yu coaxed him, "By the way, I haven't met any of Shuyan's friends yet."
Qiao Shuyan raised his eyelids lazily, "Who do you want to see? I don't have many friends."
"Really?"
"Yes, but we haven't kept in touch much since graduation." Qiao Shuyan thought for a moment and replied, "I have a few friends working in City B. If you want to meet them, I'll invite them next time."
Liang Yu did not comment.
Qiao Shuyan suddenly laughed, "If they knew I had a boyfriend, they would be scared to death."
Liang Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "You never told them that you like girls."
"But I never thought I would like a man before." Qiao Shuyan said, looking up at him. The more he looked, the more he felt that Liang Yushuai made his heart flutter, so he leaned over and kissed him again, blushing and saying, "You still like me so much."
Liang Yu held him in his arms and rubbed him hard, "Stop talking!"
Qiao Shuyan sensed that he was reacting to something, so he obediently changed the subject and chatted with him casually.
I don't know how long we talked, and I forgot what we talked about, but anyway, we both fell asleep.
