Anning felt refreshed and content after a restful night. She checked the time; it was 9 a.m. No sleeping in, she had to make breakfast for Leiting. Anning slipped out of Leiting's arms and tiptoed out of bed. Leiting was still asleep. Anning went to the kitchen and found that the only thing in the refrigerator that could be used for breakfast was eggs. For two grown men living in a room, eggs were a rare find. Although the ingredients were scarce, it didn't faze Anning. She cracked a few eggs into a bowl, gently stirred them, added a little water, and steamed them. After finishing, Anning leaned against the cupboard, twisting her neck. Although she couldn't remember, she could feel the deep love she had for Leiting, the reluctance to part with him, and the longing she felt. Some of that longing had been satisfied. "Leiting was so good last night," Anning thought, covering her mouth and laughing. "He was really great!"
Lei Ting woke up and touched the side of him, but there was no peace. Was it another dream? Lei Ting quickly got up.
Thunder: "Peace, peace..."
Thunder roared as he ran out of the house, startling Anning in the kitchen.
An Ning: "Huh? What's wrong..."
The moment Lei Ting saw An Ning at the kitchen door, he finally relaxed. He thought everything from yesterday was just a dream. An Ning was still there, so yesterday wasn't a dream. Lei Ting walked blankly to An Ning, wanting to hug her. The feeling of being unable to let go had made him blush early in the morning. He held An Ning tightly, refusing to let go.
Anning: "You, you put your clothes on."
Lei Ting then realized he wasn't wearing any clothes, while An Ning had changed into a beige nightgown. Lei Ting kissed An Ning's forehead and went back to his room to put on a bathrobe.
Anning: "Wash your face, time to eat."
Thunder: "Okay..."
At this moment, it finally felt like home. Lei Ting ran to the living room, where An Ning was holding a bowl, from which a fragrant aroma wafted.
Thunder: "Steamed egg custard..."
An Ning: "Hmm... I found eggs in Liao Qian's kitchen when I woke up this morning, so I steamed some egg custard for you. You drank so much last night, eating some eggs will make your stomach feel better."
Thunder: "Peace, my peace."
Lei Ting felt incredibly happy at that moment, and he hugged An Ning, placing her heavily on the sofa.
An Ning: "No... let's eat first..."
Thunder: "Okay... let's eat..."
Anning's cooking skills were as good as ever. Lei Ting quickly finished a large bowl of steamed egg custard, staring blankly at Anning. Recalling everything from last night, it wasn't a dream—it was amazing, so real! Thank goodness it wasn't a dream. Lei Ting had drunk some alcohol last night, and now that he was sober, the alcohol had affected his performance. This morning, Lei Ting couldn't contain himself, staring intently at Anning! Anning thought he wasn't full and offered him her bowl of steamed egg custard, unaware that Lei Ting actually wanted to eat her.
Anning: "This bowl is for you too."
Thunder: "You eat, I'll watch you eat. I haven't had your cooking in a long time, it feels so familiar."
Anning: "I almost forgot about the bread. I'll go get it."
Thunder: "I'll go get it..."
Lei Ting stood up to get the bread. His tall, slender back made An Ning feel like she had struck gold, and she couldn't help but chuckle.
Thunder: "I could tell the difference in your bread at first bite. It's delicate, soft, and melts in your mouth."
Anning: "You got cream on your lips, let me wipe it off for you."
Anning found a tissue and wiped Leiting's mouth. The ambiguous feeling instantly overwhelmed Leiting, who wrapped his arms around Anning's waist. Anning let out a soft "ouch," placing her hands on his shoulders without resisting. Leiting was about to fulfill his husbandly duties on the sofa, just as he kissed Anning's neck. Before Anning could even get into the mood, Liao Qian opened the door and returned. Anning, noticing someone had opened the door, immediately pushed Leiting off her. Her nightgown, already half-undone, wouldn't lift up. Seeing Liao Qian about to enter, Anning tried to disappear into the sofa cushions. Leiting also saw Liao Qian's head about to enter; it wasn't good to have his perfect moment interrupted, especially since Anning was half-naked!
Thunder: "Damn it, don't you know how to knock?"
Lei Ting immediately grabbed the blanket beside him and wrapped An Ning in it. An Ning shyly burrowed inside, covering herself completely. She didn't peek out or say a word. Seeing the atmosphere in the room, with An Ning wrapped in the blanket and Lei Ting blushing, Liao Qian knew what had happened. However, Liao Qian was still somewhat surprised; in just one night, Lei Ting had won An Ning over. It seemed that An Ning had been thoroughly spoiled by Lei Ting during her two years back in China.
Thunder: "What are you looking at? What are you doing here? Why didn't you call ahead?"
Liao Qian: "This is my home...you...you all..."
Thunder: "What do you mean, 'we'... Anning was scared by you."
Liao Qian: "You guys made bread, hurry up and give me one."
Thunder: "Damn it, what are you doing here so early in the morning?"
Liao Qian: "I'm here to pick up some things. By the way, I want to let you know that tonight is our school's anniversary celebration. There will be a famous band performing and a social gathering organized by the school. Allen, as the designer of the anniversary celebration, is planning to take me to see his works. Are you guys going?"
Thunder: "We'll talk about it later. Take your things and get out of here, get out of here..."
Liao Qian: "I've never seen such a shameless person as you, living in my house...you..."
An Ning: "We'll be moving out soon... Liao Qian, you need to leave quickly... I'm... not feeling well right now..."
Liao Qian: "That's not what I meant. You guys stay, you guys stay! I'd love for you to stay here! This room is full of yang energy, I guarantee you'll like it. This bread is really delicious. Okay, okay, I'm leaving now!"
Thunder: "Run!"
Liao Qian kept talking until Lei Ting was about to kick him. Liao Qian quickly grabbed his magical artifact and slipped away. After Liao Qian left, Lei Ting locked the door securely and drew all the curtains to ensure there was nothing that could disturb them. Lei Ting composed himself and was about to continue when An Ning, too embarrassed to come out from under the blanket, refused to leave.
