Chapter 73 Chapter 73 Smiling is polite and also a warning...
The morning light streamed through the window lattice and filtered through the gaps between the curtains, casting tiny rays of light on Lin Qingxu's eyelids.
The cell phone alarm rang.
Lin Qingxu has an early breakfast today.
She stirred in her bed, but when she opened her eyes she felt dazed. Before her was the familiar furnishings of the bedroom.
But Lin Qingxu remembered that she seemed to have accidentally fallen asleep on the sofa outside last night.
Sporadic memories flooded back, as if Kan Zhao had returned in the middle of the night, or that he had carried her back to the bedroom. But the memories were too hazy, like a dream.
Lin Qingxu couldn't quite tell if this was a real memory or an illusion from her sleep. Perhaps she had simply woken up in the middle of the night and wandered back to her room in a daze.
She sat up, her brain feeling a bit deprived of blood from staying up all night. After a moment's rest, the dizziness gradually dissipated, and she got out of bed and changed her clothes.
Jin Yuanbao's ears twitched, having already heard the faint sounds coming from Lin Qingxu's bedroom. He leaped down from the cat climbing frame, slid to Lin Qingxu's door, and sat upright on the floor in front of him.
When Lin Qingxu just opened the door, he was met with Jin Yuanbao's round head and bright eyes.
Jin Yuanbao tilted his head back and meowed loudly at her. Then, his stomach growled in protest.
Looks like he's hungry.
Lin Qingxu thought that Kan Zhao had not had time to add food to it.
After all, Kan Zhao didn't get up early today, so it was natural for him to sleep a little later.
Lin Qingxu squatted down, gently scratched the hair on Jin Yuanbao's chin twice to comfort him, and then walked towards where the cat food was placed.
Near the living room, the sound of keyboard was clearly audible. Lin Qingxu followed the sound and unexpectedly saw Kan Zhao sitting on the sofa, writing code with his head down.
As if sensing Lin Qingxu's gaze, Kan Zhao looked up and looked at her.
His voice was still slightly hoarse from the early morning: "Good morning."
"Good morning." Lin Qingxu responded, and the doubts in his mind about last night emerged again.
Jin Yuanbao rolled around at her feet. Lin Qingxu reacted and took out a bag of cat food from the cabinet specially used for Jin Yuanbao. She walked towards the cat bowl and unexpectedly found that it was full of cat food.
"Isn't there food here?" Lin Qingxu asked with his head down.
Jin Yuanbao raised his head and swept his tail, feeling spoiled and arrogant. He "accidentally" knocked over the cat bowl, and the cat food spilled all over the floor, rolling and scattering. Then he looked at Lin Qingxu innocently.
"Jin Yuanbao, don't waste food." Lin Qingxu said to it.
Jin Yuanbao meowed, lowered his ears in grievance, and curled up his tail.
Maybe he's tired of cat food, Lin Qingxu thought.
She opened a can of meat to improve Jin Yuanbao's diet, and the cat immediately licked the meat paste inside, making a happy purring sound.
Then I heard Lin Qingxu say to it, "You wasted food, so as a punishment, you can only eat one can."
Although Jin Yuanbao was still a little sad, he rubbed Lin Qingxu's hand with his face to please her, asking her not to be angry anymore.
Kan Zhao was already accustomed to Jin Yuanbao's servile behavior. He sneered, put down the computer and returned to the kitchen.
Lin Qingxu used a vacuum cleaner to clean up the cat food that had fallen around. The dust on the ground would get on it and it would be eaten by Jin Yuanbao, which was definitely not good for his health.
After cleaning, I went back to the bathroom to wash up. When I came out, I could smell the aroma of food in the air.
Following the scent, I could vaguely hear sounds coming from inside the kitchen through the frosted glass door.
Kan Zhao stood with his back to her, standing tall and stirring the porridge with a long spoon.
The fire had been turned off, but the heat was still lingering. A faint gurgling sound could be heard from the casserole, accompanied by rising steam.
Kan Zhao filled out two bowls and caught a glimpse of Lin Qingxu standing not far away.
"Come and eat."
Lin Qingxu came back to his senses, moved his feet, and sat down at the dining table.
The rice porridge had been cooked to a thick, smooth consistency, the rice grains almost melted, blending seamlessly with the broth. Small pieces of preserved egg and pickled lean meat were faintly visible within, dotted with a few scallions, creating an alluring hue.
You can tell it's been cooked for a long time.
It's just a little after seven, so it's still early.
Lin Qingxu picked up the spoon, stirred it gently and let it cool.
"You woke up so early." She said unintentionally.
An unnatural look flashed across Kan Zhao's face. After two seconds, he lowered his eyes and said "hmm".
The spoon would occasionally hit the bowl, making a slight noise.
Lin Qingxu hesitated for a long time, but still didn't say what he wanted to say until he went out.

Kan Zhao had classes in the third and fourth periods in the morning and arrived late. As soon as he entered the classroom, Lu Dai immediately moved a seat for him and served him tea and water.
The stingy man plucked his feathers and usually broke one dollar into two to use. Lu Dai used this to buy surrounding grains.
Now I brought Kan Zhao an extremely luxurious version of multi-grain pancake.
He took out a pack of fresh milk from his schoolbag, which he had spent more than ten yuan to buy, and handed it to Kan Zhao.
"You came so early today. Have you had breakfast? I prepared a special breakfast for you. I went to the cafeteria half an hour early to line up~"
Lu Dai's expression was extremely flattering.
Kan Zhao knew something was up when he saw him like this. He ignored him and looked down at his phone.
Seeing Kan Zhao didn't respond, Lu Dai didn't seem embarrassed. He handed over the car keys he had thrown away yesterday, "The car is parked in the school garage." Then he changed the subject and continued naturally, "As a member of our animation club, with the club's responsibilities and mission, shouldn't you contribute to the club's recruitment next year?"
Kan Zhao: "Get lost."
*
roll?
——It’s not that easy to get away.
Yu Gong, as the president, has the responsibility to recruit new members for the club next year, and for a key figure like Kan Zhao, he must be recruited.
Personally, hehehe, last night Lu Dai suddenly received a private message from the goddess. You know, Xin Ke had completely ignored him before, but last night she actually took the initiative to contact him. This can be said to be a major breakthrough!
Xin Ke was the director of the photography department next door. She loved taking photos and had won numerous awards. After her photo of Kan Zhao went viral, she wanted to take one of his, a common photographer's problem. However, she couldn't add him, even after trying to find his social media account, and it was never accepted.
Although I have always known that Lu Dai and Kan Zhao are roommates, but given Lu Dai's occasional remarks like a loser and a jerk, I am afraid of being pestered by him if I respond.
Xinke hesitated for more than a year, but last night, she still contacted Lu Dai.
We were wondering if the two clubs could collaborate and take a promotional photo shoot. This would be great for recruiting new members for the next school year, a win-win situation for both parties.
Xinke sent a voice message with a gentle voice, which made Lu Dai feel very excited.
He showed off in front of Zhang You and Cheng Zhi, especially to Zhang You, mocking him for being single all his life until his sophomore year, unlike him, Lu Dai. After years of hard work, the goddess finally responded. Zhang You, seeing his beaming face, sneered and gave him the middle finger.
Lu Dai didn't care about him. He walked to his bed, held his mobile phone, read the chat history, and stayed up all night.
Xinke said that several people had been dealt with, except Kan Zhao.
Seeing that all three people from their dormitory were invited, Lu Dai asked if he wanted to make a guest appearance as well.
Xin Ke was silent for a while: "...That's fine."
It was clear how difficult it was to persuade Kan Zhao. It had been very difficult to convince him the previous times, but after what happened with Le Yao yesterday, Lu Dai felt that things had become even more difficult.
But! People! Will never be defeated by difficulties!
Just keep nagging. If Kan Zhao gets annoyed, there's a chance he'll agree. Anyway, I can't think of any other solution.
In short, Lu Dai kept muttering in a low voice during class and loudly after class. He even followed Kan Zhao to the toilet and kept muttering in his ears about the great significance of recruiting new members for the club.
Kan Zhao didn't expect that Lu Dai would be so difficult this time. He refused Lu Dai and pretended not to hear anything. He was much more annoying than Qiao Yang who was going through a tribulation abroad. No wonder they had a lot of common topics.
There were no cubicles in the men's restroom at Nanchuan University. Kan Zhao glanced at Lu Dai and signaled him to get out.
Lu Dai understood, but it was unclear whether he really didn't understand or was just pretending.
He was from Northeast China, and back home he'd go to the bathhouse for a scrub whenever he wanted. Unlike the Nanchuan bathhouses, which were separate rooms where several people had to take turns bathing, bathhouses in Northeast China were huge, and everyone would gather together to bathe, often seeing men comparing size with each other.
Therefore, Lu Dai lowered his head to look at Kan Zhao, then whistled frivolously and lowered his voice: "Hey, buddy, you have enough money."
Kan Zhao: "..."
Maybe he really seems too good-tempered.
Then Lu Dai laughed twice and added in a whisper, "Looks like she's still a virgin."
Kan Zhao: "..."
…
It feels good to talk big, but it will end up in the crematorium if you get beaten.
Soon, Lu Dai began to beg for mercy.
"You're wrong, brother...brother, brother, eh eh eh..."
He muttered quietly, "I'm told you're older, but you're not happy about it. I don't even care about other people praising me..."
"Hey, hey, hey, daddy... I was wrong, so wrong..."
*
In the end, Lu Dai discovered that Kan Zhao was really a stubborn person who would not be persuaded by any persuasion.
Soft tactics are useless, and he doesn't dare to use force.
Lu Dai had his eyes on Lin Qingxu. Maybe Kan Zhao only listened to his girlfriend?
Then he sadly remembered that Kan Zhao was a very protective dog.
Lu Dai had previously secretly asked him for Lin Qingxu's social media account, as it was an honor to have a beautiful woman on his list. But Kan Zhao refused to give it to him, rejecting him directly and without mercy.
Thinking of this, Lu Dai gave him the middle finger from the bottom of his heart.
In the evening, Xinke sent a message to Lu Dai, asking how things were going.
In front of Crush, Lu Dai certainly couldn't say such a useless thing as Kan Zhao didn't agree.
He weighed his responses, trying to sound both reliable and manly.
Lu Dai: [Sister, take care of me, don't worry.]
Then she turned on the lights, stroked her hair, lifted her cheek, inadvertently revealed her extraordinary jawline, and took a selfie.
I picked the most handsome one and sent it over.
He leaned in closer to the phone, pressed the voice button, and made a bubbling sound: [Tsk. I feel a lot more handsome.]
Lu Dai: [Grinning teeth.jpg. What do you think, sister?]
Xinke had the urge to delete him as a friend and block him for a moment.
How can a man be so greasy?
But she restrained herself.
After a long while, she took a deep breath, reopened the chat interface with Lu Dai, and automatically ignored the last sentence.
Xinke: [Okay~ Thank you.]
Xinke: [smiling face jpg.]
A smile is both a courtesy and a warning.

The author has something to say: In reply to Xie Yubaobao's words, this book will be published, but I will wait until it is finished and make some major or minor revisions to all the previous chapters, such as typos and sentences. I had a bottleneck period before and felt that the writing was relatively thin... I will wait until it becomes a relatively perfect work. [Sprinkle flowers][Sprinkle flowers][Sprinkle flowers]
The main purpose is to upload the illustrations of Kan Zhao and Lin Qingxu, including high school student ID cards, Valentine's Day character designs, childhood, Q-version, etc. I produced a lot of food [cat claws][cat claws][cat claws] But it seems that I can't upload it at the moment. The editor said it depends on the results [burst crying][burst crying][burst crying] I still remember that the contract was signed to participate in the illustration event...
