Chapter 31 Paper Bag
Li Yuqing coughed lightly, pretending to be calm as he closed the book in his hand and threw it on the sofa. He then turned to look at Qin Shi. His expression was normal, and he asked Qin Shi in a natural tone, "Qin Shi, do you have anything else to say?"
In Qin Shi's eyes, the beta in front of him had a blush on his face. He might feel a little embarrassed, but he still forced himself to pretend to be calm, like a kitten.
Qin Shi stood aside and watched for a long time, but in the end did not speak out to expose his discomfort.
He continued following the beta's words, casually threw a paper bag into Li Yuqing's arms, and said three simple words in a calm tone, "For you", then turned and went upstairs.
Li Yuqing was sitting peacefully on the sofa when Qin Shi threw something into his arms without any preparation. Before his brain could react, his body reflexively caught the paper bag.
What's that? For me?
He looked down at the bulging paper bag and weighed it with his palm. It was quite heavy and even had an inexplicable warmth.
Li Yuqing carefully poked the paper bag with his hand and wondered, is this the gift Qin Shi brought back for him?
By the time he subconsciously raised his head and asked the person who had just stood in front of him, "Qin Shi, what did you give me?", Qin Shi had already run away.
“······”
No one responded to him. Qin Shi had already returned to his room upstairs. Li Yuqing stared blankly at the closed door upstairs, not knowing how that guy could walk so fast.
Li Yuqing held the paper bag thrown by Qin Shi, feeling a little strange and an indescribable feeling in his heart.
The cardboard bag in his arms was well-wrapped and carefully sealed with a short white strip, as if to prevent the contents from leaking out.
He carefully used his fingernails to pry open the white seal, slowly opened the paper bag, and finally took out the clumps of things that were neatly wrapped in oil paper and placed them on the coffee table in the living room.
It looks like food!
When Li Yuqing realized that these clumps of nicely packaged things might be food, he felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation.
It was not until he completely opened the three packages wrapped in oil paper and really saw the various exquisite pastries inside that he felt a little sour in his heart, as if someone had touched the softest part of his heart.
The pastries were very delicate and beautiful, decorated with different colors, which should be of different flavors. They looked delicious and were a style that Li Yuqing had never eaten before.
In fact, he would not have bought so many cakes and pastries before he traveled through the book, because delicious and beautiful cakes were usually a bit expensive, and he was reluctant to spend them.
Today, Qin Shi brought him a lot of beautiful pastries, but why did he want to bring this to him?
In the spacious living room, Li Yuqing sat on a small soft stool beside the coffee table, staring at the packages of pastries in a trance for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
Li Yuqing was stunned for a long time, until the breeze blew in from the balcony and the colorful wind chimes hanging there rang, which brought him back to his senses.
As if he felt that this was a bit inappropriate, he stood up and went to the bathroom to wash his hands carefully, then sat back at the coffee table with his body straight, intending to savor this gift.
Wait a minute, let’s take a picture first as a commemoration.
The moment he picked up the pastry, this idea popped into his mind. Li Yuqing immediately stopped reaching for the pastry, took out the mobile phone from his pocket, and took more than a dozen exquisite photos of the pastry in front of him like a professional photographer.
After all, this was the first gift Qin Shi gave her. If she ate it without taking a photo, it would be a bit disrespectful to Qin Shi.
After taking the photo, he carefully picked up a piece of green pastry from a package of oil paper, slowly put it into his mouth, and then tasted it carefully.
In the end, he came to the conclusion that it was really delicious and the best pastry he had ever eaten.
After Li Yuqing tasted the cake in his mouth with satisfaction, he smiled and felt that he was really happy.
Afterwards, he ate five or six different cakes in a row and drank a few glasses of boiled water in between. He stopped reaching for the cakes only when he felt full and couldn't eat anymore.
He looked regretfully at the pile of beautiful pastries that he had never tasted, but for the sake of his stomach, he decided not to eat them.
Li Yuqing rubbed his bulging belly to comfort his still slightly greedy stomach.
······
At night, the stars are dotted in the sky. Although there is no moon, it is still very bright and dazzling.
Qin Shi was alone on the roof of the house, lying leisurely on a recliner, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky. His heart was calm, his mind was completely empty, and he was enjoying some time that belonged to him.
“Ding Dong~”
At this moment, the mobile phone screen on the small table lit up and a message alert sounded.
He casually stretched out his slender arm to pick up the phone, clicked a few times, swiped the screen, and saw several photos sent by the cute little dog avatar.
The first two or three pictures were of the cakes he brought back from the Qin family for Li Yuqing. The beta took the pictures very well, almost to the point of making them look like flowers, and even attached a message of thanks.
——Qin Shi, thank you for the gifts you brought me. These cakes are delicious, but unfortunately, I couldn’t finish any more after eating five or six pieces. But I will save them and eat them slowly.
Add a sighing emoticon, as if expressing regret that you can't finish all the pastries.
Qin Shi found it a little funny, but also a little glad that he was not that stupid. If he really ate it all at once, he would probably have to take this beta to the hospital again.
However, that beta really likes these pastries, so it was not in vain to bring them back. I will bring him more in the future, Qin Shi thought.
He slid down the dialog box and saw two very familiar photos. They were photos he took of the beta at the zoo in Y City.
The boy in the photo has a flushed fair face, a little sweat on his forehead, messy hair, and is wearing a sun hat. His eyes are smiling, and he is holding up two fingers, making an old-fashioned "V" gesture, showing his big white teeth, happily taking photos with the animals behind him, looking carefree.
There was also a sentence attached to these two photos, but this time it was the beta complaining to him.
—Qin Shi, look at the photos you took of me. My hair is a mess. Why didn't you tell me? I should have looked in the mirror before letting you take the photo. (By the way, you forgot to buy me some scallion pancakes that day. Didn't you say you would buy me some?)
Qin Shi watched quietly for a while before continuing to slide down.
