He certainly wasn't a fan of sweets, but if she was the one who made it, he was willing to give it a shot.
Seeing Qin Yuchuan scoop up a tangyuan and feed it into his mouth, Feng Qingyi asked him, "How do you find it, is it delicious?"
"Hmm, it's not bad," Qin Yuchuan replied.
Feng Qingyi said with a smile, "As long as you like it, eat more, there's still some in the pot!"
After finishing a bowl of tangyuan, Feng Qingyi felt full. She then just rested her head on her hand, watching Qin Yuchuan eat.
The sight was indeed pleasing to the eye. He was the personification of elegance.
Under such gaze, it was hard even for Qin Yuchuan not to notice.
"Qingyi, how long do intend to keep watching?"
Feng Qingyi diverted her gaze, "I was just casually looking."
"I don't mind you watching, but it's time to clean up now," He said, standing up from his chair and picking up the bowl from in front of Feng Qingyi.
"I can take care of the cleaning."
Qin Yuchuan, however, did not afford her the opportunity, already heading to the kitchen to do the dishes.
Feng Qingyi followed right behind him with the intention to help, but was stopped, "You have an injured hand, let me handle this."
Feng Qingyi could only direct him on washing the dishes from the sidelines.
"When will you return tonight?" asked Qin Yuchuan, after placing the clean dishes and chopsticks in their respective places.
"Qingyi, when do you want me to leave?"
Feng Qingyi paused for a moment, "It's not for me to decide. If you have things to attend to, I can't very well force you to stay here."
"You don't need to be so considerate. You can tell me your genuine thoughts."
"My genuine thoughts… I wish you could stay a little bit longer. Sometimes, I don't enjoy being alone."
After admitting this, she found herself wrapped in Qin Yuchuan's arms.
"Qingyi, from now on, please tell me directly what you want. Although I can infer from your subtle hints, occasionally, I might overlook certain things."
Feng Qingyi's hand clutched the corners of Qin Yuchuan's shirt, "Okay."
Qin Yuchuan released Feng Qingyi, pulling her back to the couch in the living room.
"Today, I can stay with you until midnight. Whatever you wish to do, I'm ready to accompany you."
While such opportunities might be scarce in the future, he would try his best to make time to see her every month.
Feng Qingyi thought for a moment. Initially, she had planned to watch a movie, but she didn't think there were any good ones.
"Why don't we read a book together?" she suggested.
"Read a book?"
"I've bought a new book and I haven't started reading it yet. Let's read it together."
Rushing back into her room, Feng Qingyi fetched a rather thick book.
"This is the one. It has text and pictures. It should be good."
"Great," Qin Yuchuan responded.
The two sat closely together, intermittently discussing the content of the book.
"Qingyi, I've read the letter you sent last time," Qin Yuchuan suddenly stated out of the blue, while they were reading.
"Oh."
Qin Yuchuan drew Feng Qingyi in closer, "The issues you're concerned about, I can handle them. So, don't worry, don't be afraid. Everything will develop in a positive direction."
Feng Qingyi rested her head on his shoulder, "Then, do you know the secret of this phone?"
"Even though there are no results yet, I have clues. Do you believe me?"
Looking into Qin Yuchuan's eyes, Feng Qingyi nodded.
"I believe."
"So, Qingyi, you don't need to think about anything, because I'll arrange everything. You just need to be my bride with peace of mind!"
Bride?
That's a big leap!
It seems like they aren't on the same server!
"When did I say I would marry you?"
Qin Yuchuan smiled lightly, "You will agree."
Even if she doesn't agree now, she will eventually.
"Alright, let's continue reading."
"Qingyi, I have more to say."
"... Why are you talking so much today!" She just wanted to read a book with him.
"Then we'll talk another day."
"Just say what you have to say, don’t delay it." She didn't know when that "another day" would be.
Qin Yuchuan: "Qingyi, in my heart, you're already the best, no one is better than you, and no one is more suitable for me."
"You don't have to think I'm high and mighty, you don't have to think there's a gap between us. We've had different experiences since we were young, but it won't affect anything."
"You're still the proud and dazzling girl you once were, you've never changed, we've always been equals, you don't need to look up to me."
"You've always been outstanding, no less than me, you're already good enough. You don't have to force yourself to become better quickly, if you want to become better, I support it, but take your time, I'm always here."
Is this how he sees her?
In her letter, she didn’t reveal too much emotion nor had major considerations when she wrote it.
But he read her doubts and worries from it and reassured her one by one.
Usually, he's cold and says little, but he seems to have endless patience with her.
How could she not like such a man!
He's always considerate in every respect, always thinking about her first, there probably isn’t anyone better in this world.
Feng Qingyi put down the book and threw herself into Qin Yuchuan's arms.
"Ah Yu, thank you."
"Silly girl, why are you crying!"
"I'm not silly, I didn't cry, the wind must've got in my eyes."
Where is there a wind in the living room? This little girl always says the opposite of what she means, he doesn’t need to expose her.
Qin Yuchuan gently wiped away her tears, "Alright, stop crying or you won't look pretty."
At that moment, the living room door was suddenly opened, and for a moment everything seemed to stand still.
Nan Yin and Feng Zhixing watched a couple hugging on the sofa, unsure of how to react.
Hearing the sound, Feng Qingyi quickly let go of Qin Yuchuan and stood up.
But she didn't know what she tripped over and fell over Qin Yuchuan.
Qin Yuchuan, who was sitting, was instantly knocked down on the sofa by her.
Feng Qingyi quickly got up and started to explain to the two standing at the door.
"Nothing happened between us just now, it was all an accident, all an accident!"
Qin Yuchuan also got up and looked at Nan Yin and Feng Zhixing.
"Uncle, Auntie, good evening, I'm Qin Yuchuan."
His tone was very calm, as if nothing had happened at all.
At this moment, Feng Qingyi felt a little flustered, tugging at the corner of her clothing.
She truly admired this unflappable attitude in the face of impending disaster.
The question was- why had they suddenly come back without prior notice? What was she to do now?
Nan Yin says, "That's Qin Yuchuan, right? Sit down, don't be restrained. I heard about you from Qingyi."
Feng Zhixing scrutinized Qin Yuchuan closely, his demeanor was extraordinary and his manners refined. Not too bad at all.
It didn't seem like he lacked social etiquette. The only problem was that his actions didn't seem to be all that reliable.
Late into the night as it was, a man and a woman alone in a room, getting touchy-feely.
Had they not returned that day, who knows, all sorts of planned and unplanned events might have transpired.
