Chapter 75
When Tao Luanxi was standing in front of the oven with her arms folded over her chest, shaking her legs and waiting anxiously, Qiu Yi opened the door and came back.
Tao Luanxi poked her head out of the kitchen and saw Qiu Yi throwing the food on the entrance and rubbing his neck as he walked towards the sofa. His face had returned to normal, and there was no trace of the ferocious look he had when he received the call.
"Your mother is gone?"
"Well," Qiu Yi leaned on the sofa and sighed tiredly, "It's really tiring to prepare everything every time I come and talk to her."
Qiu Yi raised his head, leaned on the sofa and looked at Tao Luanxi: "It's still more comfortable to be with you."
"Of course it's comfortable. Everyone loves me."
Qiu Yi smiled as he watched Tao Luanxi's boasting. In the past, Tao Luanxi valued her image more than anything else and would never easily show her pride to outsiders. But now that they were living together, Tao Luanxi's little private habits were exposed in front of Qiu Yi without any disguise. She was so much cuter than the gentle and quiet image of a top student in school.
Qiu Yi always doted on her without making any jokes. He let Tao Luanxi stick out her chin in front of him with an expression that said "the most handsome young man in the world". He also let Tao Luanxi walk around the house wearing an exaggeratedly large sportswear and holding Liu Hai. To him, the fact that Tao Luanxi was completely open to him was already surprising enough and something he cherished.
"What are you baking? The house smells like milk."
"Cheese sweet potatoes, I learned how to make them from an online tutorial." Just as Tao Luanxi finished speaking, the oven made a ding sound, and the sweet potatoes were ready.
Tao Luanxi took out the baking tray with gloves. The cheese on it had melted and was a little burnt brown. She flipped it with a spoon, and the orange sweet potato flesh underneath was revealed. The whole house was instantly filled with the aroma of sweet potatoes and milk.
Qiu Yi came over at this time, with his hands on the table: "It looks good!"
Tao Luanxi was delighted. She scooped a spoonful of sweet potato with cheese, blew it cool, and then put it to Qiu Yi's mouth. Qiu Yi took the sweet potato meat on the spoon into his mouth, chewed it twice, and nodded: "Delicious!"
"Really?" Tao Luanxi's eyes lit up, and she quickly scooped another spoonful and put it into her mouth. The sweetness of sweet potato mixed with the aroma of milk was indeed good.
"I didn't expect it to be so successful the first time. I'm so happy." Tao Luanxi held the spoon in her mouth and smiled at Qiu Yi with a smile on her face. "If my mother hadn't rarely let me cook at home before, I would have gotten my chef's license by now!"
Qiu Yi pinched Tao Luanxi's round cheeks and said, "If you want to cook in the future, just cook here with me."
"Humph, you want me to cook for you for free? You're dreaming!"
"If you want to do it, I will definitely finish it. If you don't want to do it, let's go find Auntie." Qiu Yi grabbed Tao Luanxi's wrist and shook it: "Don't just eat it yourself, have another bite!"
In the evening, Qiu Yi called and asked his aunt not to come over to cook. The two of them shared sweet potatoes and cooked a few dumplings, and managed a manageable meal.
After dinner, Tao Luanxi went to the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out, Qiu Yi had already washed the dishes and was making the bed. The two pillows on the bed became a set, one on the left and one on the right, which seemed more harmonious than before.
Tao Luanxi jumped onto the bed, leaned against the pillow and took a deep breath. There was still a faint scent of Qiu Yi. This pillow was most likely the old one that Qiu Yi had used before.
Thinking about how Qiu Yi had used the sofa pillow to deal with him all night last night, giving him a new pillow was considered as a consolation. As for the old one, Tao Luanxi kept it for herself and did not plan to return it.
"Go to sleep!" Qiu Yi came out of the shower and lay down on the other side of the bed: "Go to bed early."
Tao Luanxi glanced at the time. It was just past ten o'clock. For him, he could still finish at least two more papers.
"What's wrong?" Qiu Yi hadn't turned off the lights yet, and he could clearly see the knot on Tao Luanxi's face.
"I'm considering whether to go to the study room to do some homework." Tao Luanxi bit her nails and said, "Is it too sinful to go to bed now?"
Qiu Yi didn't say anything. He put one hand under the pillow, took out his phone and took a look: "It's still early. I guess you can't sleep at this time."
Tao Luanxi nodded, agreeing very much, and immediately sat up and prepared to get out of bed: "I'd better do some more questions, otherwise I won't be able to do it..."
Before Tao Luanxi could even utter the word "An", Qiu Yi pressed him back. Qiu Yi was standing with his back to the light, looking down at him with a sly smile on his face: "Since we still have time, why don't we do something that both of us can participate in?"
Tao Luanxi blinked and immediately understood what Qiu Yi wanted to do.
"Some things are much more interesting than doing papers. If you don't know how to do it, I'll teach you!"
Tao Luanxi's scalp tingled: "What? We still have classes tomorrow."
"Don't make noise too late. You must rest before twelve o'clock."
"After morning self-study, we have to raise the flag and run drills."
"You won't feel tired if you just lie down."
"..." Tao Luanxi was forced into a corner and resorted to his ultimate move: "I'm scared."
Qiu Yi was silent as expected.
Just when Tao Luanxi was rejoicing that his reasoning had finally worked, Qiu Yi said faintly: "It's not a real thing, we're just trying to get used to it first."
Tao Luanxi didn't understand what was said and stared at Qiu Yi blankly with his eyes closed.
Qiu Yi laughed, leaned over to Tao Luanxi's ear, and whispered, "I'll take you to learn on the spot. I won't go in, but you have to let me find the way first."
Tao Luanxi's face turned red all of a sudden. This old rogue is really getting worse!
"Rogue!" Tao Luanxi cursed angrily.
"I promise I won't hurt you. If you feel uncomfortable, you can stop at any time. Okay?"
Tao Luanxi bit her lower lip, frowned slightly and looked deeply at Qiu Yi. After a long while, she closed her eyes as if ready to die: "Come on!"
Turn on the light! Turn on the light!
Just like Qiu Yi said, it didn't hurt, but it wasn't very comfortable either. That old rogue named Qiu didn't stop as he promised when Tao Luanxi said she felt uncomfortable. Instead, he hugged Tao Luanxi tightly, coaxing her gently with his words, but his hands were firm and without any tenderness when he was exploring the way.
Tao Luanxi didn't give him a good look all day, and when school was over, Qiu Yi had no choice but to borrow a baseball bat from a friend and put it in Tao Luanxi's hand.
"You can hit me wherever I am unhappy. Don't save your energy, but please keep quiet, okay?"
Tao Luanxi raised a baseball bat and hit Qiu Yi's calf angrily: "Big liar! I said I can stop it at any time!"
Qiu Yi shrugged helplessly: "I didn't even touch the edge of your pajamas and you were yelling that you were uncomfortable and wanted to stop. Who would believe it?"
"I don't care!" Tao Luanxi threw down his schoolbag and hit Qiu Yi: "Grandpa, I just feel uncomfortable. Damn it, you dog Qiu Yi, who let you go in there [beep——], Grandpa is almost dying of pain!"
Qiu Yi grabbed the schoolbag and held it in his arms. He smiled and whispered in Tao Luanxi's ear, "Really? Who was the one who held me and hummed at the end?"
The author has something to say: These two people are not far from being impure [blush]
