Chapter 172: Chapter 105: Warm Interaction (2)

The man’s silhouette suddenly leapt into her line of sight.

Gu Xiaoxi rose from the sofa, looking up towards the window, only to find the sky had turned pitch black, "Why are you so late? I’ve been waiting for you for two hours."

Quan Shaoqing turned to look at her and explained, "Some unexpected things came up today, some urgent matters. Sorry for making you wait so long."

So formal?

Gu Xiaoxi stood up from the sofa, stretching her stiff neck. Quan Shaoqing served the hot meal he had prepared.

The two sat together at the dining table. At that moment, the warm yellow light illuminated their erect figures, as if the whole world had quieted down. Between heaven and earth, there were only their unique shadows.

Gu Xiaoxi peeled a crab, eyeing Quan Shaoqing out of the corner of her eye.

The weather outside was not very hot, yet he looked travel-worn, and after returning, he had only taken a quick wash before joining her for dinner.

"Having waited for so long, you must be hungry, right? Why didn’t you eat first?" Quan Shaoqing stared at the dishes on the plate, their colors appealing, but he was unsure about the taste.

He picked up his chopsticks and tried a bite of the stir-fried shredded potatoes—crisp and tasty, much better than he had expected. It was mild, leaving a refreshing taste in the mouth.

"I thought you would be back soon, so I just wanted to wait a bit longer. As a result, I fell asleep." Gu Xiaoxi peeled a piece of crab meat and placed it on Quan Shaoqing’s plate, "Here! You seem to have had a tough day, this is your reward."

Quan Shaoqing couldn’t help but smile at the corners of his mouth, feeling a warm surge in his heart as he ate and smiled faintly at Gu Xiaoxi, teasing, "Our Xiao Xi is learning to be considerate, that’s great!"

The gesture of peeling the crab halted, and her face turned slightly red, even the tips of her ears felt hot. That sounded like something her mother would often say.

Every time she was kind to her, her mother would say she was growing up.

In truth, the feeling wasn’t bad, but hearing it from Quan Shaoqing made it awkward. Was he reminding her that she was being kind to him?

"Just eat your meal, I’m not being considerate of you. It’s because you often cook for me, and I’m repaying the favor today. I never owe anyone favors," Gu Xiaoxi said with a cool tone. Her attempt to look tough instead came across as somewhat adorable.

"Alright, I get it. You’re just repaying me!" Quan Shaoqing played along with her words, eating contentedly.

Gu Xiaoxi no longer paid him any attention.

After dinner, Quan Shaoqing went to wash the dishes.

Gu Xiaoxi tidied up the table, swept the floor, and after making the house clean, she returned to her room.

In fact, such quiet coexistence with Quan Shaoqing was rare for her.

When they were together, there was a homely feeling, but that familiarity was tinged with an awkwardness and ambiguity she couldn’t quite understand, which made her feel a bit wickedly overwhelmed.

Yeh Bai said, "What do you want after securing Quan Shaoqing? To be your boyfriend?"

Gu Xiaoxi shuddered; being with Quan Shaoqing felt quite nice.

But as a boyfriend, he probably wouldn’t fancy her type, right?

Gu Xiaoxi opened the scroll in her room and earnestly read through Volume One and Volume Two, but as for Volume Three, it seemed she wasn’t at that level yet, and not understanding it, she didn’t force herself.

In her room, the Spiritual Energy was too sparse; hence, practicing was less effective than sleeping.

Gu Xiaoxi thought it over, now was a great opportunity to go and practice outside. It was just a matter of how to tell Quan Shaoqing.

Gu Xiaoxi opened her room door, walked to the entrance of Quan Shaoqing’s room, where there was no sound; she didn’t need to guess that he was probably bathing.
