At the breakfast shop, Qin Yuchuan had a bowl of plain rice porridge in front of him, while Feng Qingyi had a bowl of steaming red noodles that smelled delicious.
Qin Yuchuan glanced at the noodles in Feng Qingyi's bowl, then at the large bowl of white porridge before him, and suddenly lost his appetite.
"Qingyi, I don't want to eat plain porridge," he said.
Feng Qingyi took a sip of her soy milk. "If you don't want plain porridge, there's mung bean porridge, red bean porridge, and even some goji berry health porridge over there. What would you like? I'll buy it for you!"
"I don't want porridge at all," Qin Yuchuan replied.
"We need to follow the doctor's orders," Feng Qingyi insisted. "The doctor said you can only have porridge for the next couple of days. Don't even think about it, just eat obediently!"
Reluctantly, Qin Yuchuan picked up his spoon and slowly took a bite.
"Qingyi, I think the doctors here are exaggerating. I'm fine now."
Feng Qingyi found this childish side of him rather adorable.
"Regardless, you can only have porridge for the next two days. If we have time after that, I'll take you out for something delicious."
Qin Yuchuan had no choice but to slowly finish the bowl of plain porridge.
After breakfast, Feng Qingyi took Qin Yuchuan back to the villa, a place he had become quite familiar with.
Feng Qingyi looked at the hospital gown Qin Yuchuan was wearing. "Do you want to go upstairs and take a shower, change your clothes?"
Qin Yuchuan agreed, "Alright."
After Qin Yuchuan went upstairs, Feng Qingyi sat on the sofa and turned on the TV, randomly selecting a popular drama to watch.
Before the first episode was even halfway through, Qin Yuchuan came back downstairs.
He was wearing black suit pants, with the buttons of his white shirt still undone.
He held a towel in his hand, drying his hair.
Feng Qingyi glanced at him, quickly averting her gaze back to the TV.
Qin Yuchuan slowly walked towards Feng Qingyi and sat down beside her.
Feng Qingyi moved slightly away, but Qin Yuchuan immediately pulled her close.
Feng Qingyi turned to look at him, "What are you doing? Let go of me."
"Doesn't Qingyi usually like guys with six-pack abs? I wonder if you're satisfied with what you see?"
Feng Qingyi had thought that incident was over and he hadn't taken it to heart, but apparently he had been waiting for this moment!
"I didn't see anything!" she protested.
Qin Yuchuan: "Well, you can take a look now."
Looking at pictures was quite different from seeing the real thing!
Feng Qingyi panicked a little, "Hurry up and put your shirt on properly!"
"Doesn't Qingyi want to take a look?" Qin Yuchuan's magnetic voice sounded close to Feng Qingyi's ear.
Feng Qingyi shook her head quickly, "No, no, just put your shirt on."
Qin Yuchuan chuckled, "Oh, so will you still look at pictures of guys with six-pack abs in the future?"
"No, no, I promise I won't."
When Feng Qingyi turned to look at Qin Yuchuan again, she found that he had already buttoned up his shirt.
His face was calm, as if nothing had happened.
"You were teasing me!" she exclaimed.
Qin Yuchuan smiled, "If Qingyi wants to look or touch, I don't mind."
Feng Qingyi pushed him away in embarrassment, "I don't want to talk to you anymore..."
Her push wasn't strong enough to move Qin Yuchuan; instead, she found herself pulled into a strong embrace.
Her unfinished words were lost in a passionate kiss. Feng Qingyi's arms naturally wrapped around his neck, deepening the kiss.
After a long moment, Qin Yuchuan finally released her. Feng Qingyi buried her face in his chest, breathing in his scent.
Qin Yuchuan's lips curved into a smile, "Does Qingyi get this shy when discussing other men's abs with her friends?"
Feng Qingyi pushed him away in frustration, "Why do you keep bringing that up? It was just something she sent me, it has nothing to do with me."
"Oh, is that so? It seemed like you were having quite an enjoyable chat with her!" Qin Yuchuan teased.
Feng Qingyi covered her face, "Stop, stop, we're not talking about this anymore."
After ending this embarrassing topic, the two sat together in the living room watching TV.
The spring sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a peaceful glow over the room.
At lunchtime, Feng Qingyi specially cooked a pot of porridge for Qin Yuchuan.
Although Qin Yuchuan didn't want to continue eating porridge, seeing how much effort Feng Qingyi had put into it, he graciously ate two large bowls.
After the meal, Qin Yuchuan voluntarily took on the task of wiping the table and, under Feng Qingyi's guidance, learned how to use the dishwasher.
"Qingyi, I have to go back now."
He had already stayed here too long today, and the military couldn't be without him for long.
Feng Qingyi expressed her concern, "But you haven't fully recovered yet!"
Qin Yuchuan held Feng Qingyi in his arms.
"There are pressing matters in the military that I can't avoid. I was only able to be here today because I had made arrangements in advance."
"But there are some situations that I need to handle personally. Thank you for taking care of me these past two days."
Feng Qingyi nodded, "I understand. You can go."
"Qingyi, I'm sorry."
Feng Qingyi spoke slowly, "Go ahead. We can see each other anytime now. Whenever you have free time, you can come find me. I'll be waiting for you."
"Then I'm leaving. Take care of yourself."
"Don't worry! I'm not a child anymore. I can take care of myself."
After Qin Yuchuan left, Feng Qingyi took out her phone and looked at the messages Shen Hanyue had sent again, feeling a bit of a headache.
[Qingyi: Hanyue, please don't send me pictures of handsome men coming out of the shower anymore. If you want to send them, send them to the group chat!]
[Hanyue: I thought you had gone missing. I sent you a message yesterday and you're only replying today!]
[Qingyi: Please don't mention it. When you sent me that picture yesterday, my boyfriend saw it!]
[Hanyue: ...And then? Did you two have a fight?]
[Qingyi: No, we didn't.]
[Hanyue: Handsome men are public resources. Can't we share and discuss them?]
[Qingyi: He even saw our chat history!]
[Hanyue: ...Oh boy. Are you okay now? I just checked, and it seems like most of our recent chat history isn't very proper.]
[Qingyi: It's mainly because you're not being serious. You keep recommending your favorite male celebrities to me and sending sexy pictures.]
[Hanyue: Sister, don't worry. I definitely won't send them to you privately anymore. I'll send them to our dorm group chat. By the way, nothing happened to you last night, right?]
[Qingyi: ...He was in the hospital!]
[Hanyue: You two ended up in the hospital? Impressive!]
[Qingyi: ...Don't imagine things. He was poisoned!]
[Hanyue: Poisoned! How is he now? I saw a girl from the next dorm get food poisoning and go to the hospital a few days ago. She's still there!]
[Qingyi: He's fine now.]
