Chapter 21



The smile on Du Yuanyi's lips instantly faded. She glanced at Qiao Qing's fair face and said coldly, "Little sister, there are some things you can't joke about."

Qiao Qing seemed to be aroused by her competitive spirit. She stepped forward and took Xu Yanyi's arm, but she was a little stunned when the touch came, and her ears turned slightly red.

Pretending to be calm, he smiled brightly and said, "Do you think I'm joking?"

Feeling Qiao Qing's slightly trembling hand, Xu Yanyi was originally a little unaccustomed to other people's touch. His cold eyes just passed over Qiao Qing's red ears, stayed on her fair and sweet face for a second, and surprisingly did not shake him off.

Then he slowly reached out his hand and lifted the loose hair by her ear.

Just listen to his cold voice.

"Don't bother with irrelevant people."

It's slightly magnetic, and when you listen closely you can actually hear a bit of a crisp feeling.

Qiao Qing was slightly stunned by Xu Yanyi's actions. His eyes widened slightly and he looked straight at Xu Yanyi, somewhat incredulous.

When she reacted, her cheeks suddenly turned red, like the sunset in the sky.

While Qiao Qing was stunned, Xu Yanyi's eyes turned to Du Yuanyi. There was no extra emotion on his handsome face, and his cold eyes were slightly oppressive.

"You're not leaving?"

It seemed that he didn't understand why the other party was still here, and there was a hint of confusion on his indifferent face.

Du Yuanyi stamped her feet, looking annoyed. She pouted and said angrily, "Xu Yanyi, you did this on purpose. When did you get a girlfriend? How come I didn't know?"

She and Xu Yanyi graduated from the same school and had always been paying attention to his relationship status. She had never heard of him having any ambiguous relationship with any woman, let alone a girlfriend.

Xu Yanyi looked at Du Yuanyi with indifferent eyes and asked as a matter of course: "Why do you need to know?"

Qiao Qing burst out laughing uncontrollably. Seeing Xu Yanyi looking at her, she embarrassedly covered her lips with her hand, trying to hold back her laughter.

It was just that a pair of watery eyes flashed across Du Yuanyi's delicate face, and the smile in the eyes was particularly dazzling.

In Du Yuanyi's view, this was clearly a provocation. She was very angry, but looking at Xu Yanyi's cold expression, she dared not say anything. She held her breath and her face looked very ugly.

"I'll come see you next time."

She left after leaving a word.

Seeing that the person had left, Qiao Qing quickly took back the arm that was on Xu Yanyi's arm. She put her hands behind her back, raised her fair little face and looked at Xu Yanyi, smiling smugly, "Is it thanks to me that I got rid of your peach blossom this time?"

Look at Qiao Qing, he looks like he's asking for praise.

Xu Yanyi thought about it seriously for a second, then nodded and said, "Yes."

With the affirmation, Qiao Qing's smile became even brighter.

"I'm so sorry to bother you so often. If you need it next time, I can help you. We can help each other."

She winked at Xu Yanyi mischievously.

He looks very energetic, like a child who has never grown up.

Xu Yanyi withdrew his gaze and looked at the surrounding environment.

"Um."

"By the way, thank you very much for yesterday. To express my gratitude, I prepared something for you."

As he spoke, Qiao Qing trotted to get the thermos and soon returned to Xu Yanyi's side.

She looked at Xu Yanyi with a smile and raised the thermos in her hand.

"What do you think this is?"

Xu Yanyi took a look and said calmly, "I don't want to guess."

Qiao Qing pouted immediately and said unhappily: "Can you cooperate?"

It seemed that the two of them had more contact yesterday, which made them instantly more familiar with each other and able to joke with each other.

Just when Qiao Qing thought he wouldn't get a response, he heard Xu Yanyi speak.

"Is it porridge? Or soup?"

He looked at Qiao Qing with a hint of doubt, waiting for her answer.

What can be put in a thermos bucket? Nothing more than food.

Qiao Qing was serious for a second, and just when Xu Yanyi was wondering if he had guessed wrong, she suddenly smiled, "How come you are so smart? It's Tang."

She opened the lid and said, "Try it. I'm not a good cook. If it doesn't taste good, don't tell me."

They found an open space and Xu Yanyi and Qiao Qing sat opposite each other.

He served Xu Yanyi a small bowl and looked at him expectantly, with stars twinkling in his eyes.

Xu Yanyi tasted it and nodded: "Not bad."

"What's good about it? It's just perfunctory."

Qiao Qing pouted, very dissatisfied with the answer, "Is it not tasty?"

She snatched the spoon from Xu Yanyi's hand, took a sip, and tasted the soup very seriously.

Nodding thoughtfully: "Not bad."

He turned to look at Xu Yanyi in confusion, "I think it's great? This is already my best level."

Seeing Xu Yanyi staring at the spoon in her hand, Qiao Qing suddenly realized that this was what Xu Yanyi had tasted.

Her face and ears turned red all of a sudden.

"That, I this, I"

He was speaking incoherently and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

This shy look is so cute.

Xu Yanyi clenched his fist and coughed lightly, then curled his thin lips and couldn't help laughing.

"I didn't see it."

This explanation, which was intended to cover up the truth, actually had a bit of a humorous tone.

Qiao Qing blushed, not daring to look at Xu Yanyi's face. She quickly changed the subject and said, "You look so good when you smile. You look much better when you have a straight face. You should smile more."

She looked at Xu Yanyi with sparkling eyes, her tone soft but extremely sincere.

Xu Yanyi was stunned for a moment, and said calmly: "It's okay."

In fact, he doesn't like to laugh very much, while Qiao Qing is just the opposite.

In just a few seconds, Xu Yanyi stopped smiling. Qiao Qing was very curious: "Don't you think you look better when you smile?"

She smiled sweetly, with dimples faintly visible on both sides of her cheeks. "Look at me, do I look better when I smile or when I don't smile?"

Xu Yanyi carefully looked at Qiao Qing's face for a few seconds, scanning her delicate features, tall nose, and pink red lips one by one, his eyes dimmed.

He shifted his gaze, "They all look good."

"Yeah?"

Qiao Qing was a little unconvinced. She took out her phone and took a look at herself. "But my friends have always praised me for my beautiful smile since I was a child."

After comparing them, he turned to Xu Yanyi and asked, "You didn't look carefully enough to see the difference."

Xu Yanyi had no choice but to agree: "She looks good when she smiles."

Qiao Qing was satisfied, so she smiled and said, "Isn't it? You think it's good to smile, so you should listen to me and smile more."

She adjusted her position, "Come, I'll teach you, just bend your lips, like me."

He put on a bright smile on his face and demonstrated to Xu Yanyi.

Seeing that Qiao Qing was really interested, Xu Yanyi hesitated for a second, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, and he made a fake smile.

"It's not like you. You must not have laughed in a long time."

Qiao Qing frowned her beautiful eyebrows, she suddenly stood up and approached Xu Yanyi, stretched out her slender and soft little hands, and pressed her two thumbs above the corners of Xu Yanyi's mouth.

"Just put the corners of your mouth at this point."

Xu Yanyi didn't say anything. He looked at the little girl in front of him. Her thick, black and curly eyelashes blinked like butterfly wings, her pink lips were pursed, and there was a serious expression on her delicate face.

He lowered his eyes slightly and did not distance himself.

Feeling the warmth on his face, the corners of his mouth tried to curl up, but his muscles were very stiff and it still looked like a fake smile.

Qiao Qing laughed instantly.

"Hahahaha, why is it so hard for you to laugh? You're the first person I've met who laughs so hard."

Her sense of humor seems to be particularly low, and she would burst into laughter at the slightest thing.

Laughter is really contagious.

Xu Yanyi couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw this, and this time he really smiled, and the coldness in his eyes faded a lot.

He raised his eyes slightly and asked in confusion: "Is it really that funny?"

Qiao Qing slowed down, suppressed his laughter and shook his head: "Not funny."

But when she saw Xu Yanyi, she couldn't hold it back anymore and laughed, "It's really not funny, but I just can't help laughing."

She wiped her eyes and almost laughed to tears.

Xu Yanyi looked at it indifferently.

“It’s not bad to be someone who can’t laugh, but it’s also good to be someone who makes others laugh.”

This is the first time I have heard Xu Yanyi speak such a long speech.

"Well, it makes sense not to say anything."

Qiao Qing cleared his throat and agreed in a very serious manner, making it seem like the real deal.

The two sat and talked for a long time, becoming more familiar with each other than before.

Just as the two were chatting, Qiao Qing's cell phone rang several times.

She took out her cell phone and saw that it was a message from Wang Yi.

【Wang Yi】: I’m back.

[Wang Yi]: I’m cooking. I’ll be back early today.

Before Qiao Qing could reply, another message came in a few seconds.

[Wang Yi]: I'll pick you up later.

Qiao Qing replied quickly.

[Qiao Qing]: No need. It’s too troublesome to go back and forth. I’ll go back by myself later. It’s not far away.

[Qiao Qing]: Waiting for your meal~ (love) (love)

Xu Yanyi saw Qiao Qing smiling happily. He put down the bowl in his hand, and his subtle sound attracted Qiao Qing's attention.

"After we finish eating, I'll clean up."

As she spoke, she put away her phone and reached out her long, slender hand to take the bowl.

"Let me do it."

A big hand reached out and touched Qiao Qing's delicate white hand.

After a moment, Qiao Qing withdrew his hand and turned to look at Xu Yanyi's angular face, but his expression was indifferent and nothing could be seen.

She clenched her hands awkwardly and could only smile awkwardly, "Okay, then you clean it up."

After packing the things, Xu Yanyi handed the thermal box to Qiao Qing, and there was no extra contact between the two.

Xu Yanyi said calmly: "Let's warm up first."

Qiao Qing glanced at the time and refused with a smile, "No aerobics today. It's a bit late. I want to go home early."

She packed her things and went to change her clothes.

When she came out, she saw Xu Yanyi had changed his clothes and was standing at the door. His back was straight and his figure was tall and slender.

Qiao Qing trotted over to Xu Yanyi and looked at him curiously, "Are you done with your exercise?"

Xu Yanyi answered irrelevantly: "Let's go."

Qiao Qing quickly followed, "Are you going to take me home?"

"Um."

Xu Yanyi agreed, speaking as concisely as always.

It's not yet the rush hour, so the road is smooth and we arrived at our destination quickly.

Qiao Qing said goodbye to Xu Yanyi with a smile.

Wang Yi originally just came down to buy some seasoning, but he vaguely saw a back figure that looked very much like Qiao Qing, so he couldn't help but look at it twice more. He also looked at the car twice more.

It's just that it's far away, so it's blurry and not very clear.
