"Hehe..." Xing Fei stuck out her tongue at him: "My clothes are still here."
Lin Que said irritably, "I'll give you ten minutes to pack your clothes and get out of here."
"That won't do." Xing Fei said seriously, "I've already told my parents that I have important business at school and I need to stay in the dorm for at least a month. If I go back after only a few days, my parents will definitely be suspicious. How am I supposed to explain that I've been staying with you these past few days?"
"..." What does this little girl mean? She wants to stay here for a month?!
Seeing his shocked expression, Xing Fei knew he had already guessed. She snapped her fingers and said, "Bing Gou! You guessed right. I just wanted to stay here. You're so smart!"
Lin Que: "I don't..." agree.
"You wouldn't let me end up homeless, would you?" Xing Fei interrupted him. "So, aside from being a bit silly, you're actually quite nice sometimes. Thank you!"
After saying that, she entered the door code herself and went inside.
Lin Que was left standing at the door, shivering in the wind.
What did he say?
…………
In the following days, Xing Fei stopped going to the film set to keep an eye on him, but she stayed home obediently every day waiting for him to come back.
To express his gratitude for being taken in, Lin Que receives a loving dinner from the little girl every day after work.
"This is my first time making scrambled eggs. Why don't you try it and see if it tastes good?"
Looking at the burnt eggs on the table: "..."
Xing Fei was a little embarrassed: "I know it doesn't look very good, it's all...it's all your fault for using a bad pan! When I poured the eggs in, the egg mixture all burned! You've been fooled, the pan you bought wasn't non-stick at all!"
"..." Why don't you just say it's because you turned the fire up too high?
Trying to explain herself, Xing Fei smiled ingratiatingly, "I promise it'll be delicious, you should try it!"
Lin Que initially had no appetite at all upon seeing the mess of burnt eggs, but seeing the little girl looking at him so expectantly, his heart softened...
If Lin Que could foresee the future, he would definitely travel back a few minutes and, seeing his past self about to soften, slap him twice without saying a word!
A burnt taste mixed with saltiness spread in his mouth, and Lin Que could only describe it in beautiful Chinese.
It's fucking salty!
He even suspected she had poured the whole bag of salt in, but unfortunately he had no proof!
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Xing Fei's eyes lit up, eager for his answer.
Normally, Lin Que would have vomited and started cursing, but for some reason, upon meeting that look, he actually said—
"It's alright, it's good for the first time."
Seeing the obvious joy in the little girl's eyes, Xing Fei was overjoyed.
"Go get me a glass of water," Lin Que commanded.
In a good mood, Xing Fei didn't argue with him and obediently went to pour water.
Lin Que took the opportunity to quickly shovel a couple of mouthfuls of rice into his mouth.
After the meal, Xing Fei indeed took the initiative to come over.
Lin Que was sitting on the sofa scrolling through Weibo when he caught a glimpse of Xing Fei standing next to him, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
He's always been a straightforward person: "Spit it out."
Xing Fei chuckled and sat down on the small single sofa next to her: "Did Young Master Gu call you today? How are things going on their end?"
The reason Xing Fei has been trying so hard to please Lin Que these past few days is to find out about Nan Nan's situation.
Lin Que glanced at her as expected and replied indifferently, "No."
It was obvious that the girl was disappointed. Before he could speak, his phone displayed a caller ID with two words in the contact name: Yi Bei.
