Chapter 141: Chapter 141 Teacher Qiao You Are So Ugly

Qiao Xi: "..."

What does this suspicious tone of his mean?

Qiao Xi found his backward movement really speechless.

He must be afraid of exposing his identity, right?

Qiao Xi stretched out her arms to pull him in and, with a "bang," shut the door behind her.

Looking at her anxious demeanor, it was as if she was pulling him in to do something naughty.

A thought involuntarily popped up in Shen Dang’s mind, his tongue touched his lower lip, a laugh escaping his throat.

"What are you laughing about?" Qiao Xi spoke, annoyance written all over her eyes, "Are you crazy?"

Shen Dang looked at her and nodded with a meaningful expression, "Hmm, nearly went crazy, scared crazy by you."

Qiao Xi rolled her eyes in exasperation.

"If you can’t talk nicely, then don’t talk."

Shen Dang withdrew his gaze with disdain and clicked his tongue, "Still, I must say, Teacher Qiao, you look ugly."

She was wearing a white ruffled nightgown, and the black facial mask on her face was a bit dry, all wrinkled, making her eye-rolling look eerily like a ghost.

—The cute kind.

Quite the image.

Qiao Xi: "??"

Qiao Xi wanted to kick him out.

Honestly, from childhood till now, Shen Dang was the first to call her ugly.

What use were his eyes, anyway? Might as well donate them since they’re just for show in their sockets.

Qiao Xi peeled off the facial mask and threw it into the trash can, "What are you here for now? Didn’t we clarify everything this morning?"

Qiao Xi’s face was moist, her skin clean and translucent like flawless white jade, immaculately beautiful.

How could she be ugly?

Even with a black mask on, she wasn’t ugly.

Shen Dang’s gaze left her face lazily, he raised an eyebrow, "What did we talk about this morning?"

Was he playing dumb with her?

"You should stay at your own place! What are you doing here again?"

"Ah, seeing you filming so late, I bought you some late-night food."

"..."

He bought her late-night food?

Is Boss Shen that kind-hearted?

Qiao Xi’s gaze shifted and, seeing his empty hands, she snapped irritably, "You brought late-night food, so where is it?"

This man was blatantly lying!

"Not delivered yet."

Shen Dang sat down on the sofa, his legs crossed, his fingers tapping sporadically on his knee, "Got any cups? I’m thirsty, Teacher Qiao. Could you please get me some water?"

He leaned casually against the couch and even took off his jacket, treating this place like his own territory.

"No!"

Shen Dang glanced at the cup on the coffee table and said nonchalantly, "Then I’ll use this one."

Qiao Xi immediately rushed over to grab the cup, "This is my cup, don’t touch it!"

Qiao Xi hadn’t realized yet that her territory had been gradually taken over by Shen Dang.

Shen Dang gave her a glance, a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "Then what should I do if I want to drink water?"

Qiao Xi was annoyed, "Endure it!"

He was really annoying.

Shen Dang unhesitatingly retorted, "... Then I’ll just borrow your cup."

As if!

Qiao Xi clenched her teeth in anger.

"You wait!"

Since Shen Dang had bought the late-night food, Qiao Xi filled another cup for him.

She placed the cup forcefully on the coffee table, "Drink!"

Shen Dang smiled nonchalantly, took the cup, and leisurely began to drink.

Qiao Xi ignored him and headed straight back to her bedroom.

She washed off the facial mask essence and then did her evening skincare routine.

Once finished, she walked back to the living room just in time to see Shen Dang bringing in a huge box.

Shen Dang looked up at her, "You came just in time."

Qiao Xi walked over, "What did you buy?"

"Hot pot."

It was the dead of winter, perfect for hot pot.

Qiao Xi gave him a side-eye, "Didn’t you have hot pot for dinner? And you’re having it again now?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Xi regretted it.

Boss Shen might think she was paying attention to him.

As she thought this, she heard Boss Shen’s teasing tone, "Teacher Qiao is really paying attention to me, huh."

Qiao Xi: "..."

So what was she saying again?

Qiao Xi gave a cool smile, "You’re overthinking it, it’s just that Tutu told me you were their third wheel."

Shen Dang hummed lazily, "I went to be a third wheel because of you."

He leisurely set up the hot pot on the small stove and bent down to light the fire.

With a "pop," a chain of bluish flames sprang up, reflecting in their eyes.

Qiao Xi wasn’t sure what he had just said.

Shen Dang put away the lighter and casually pulled out a chair to sit, "Got anything to drink here?"

"... No!"

"That’s a pity."

Shen Dang ordered a yin-yang pot, with both meat and vegetarian dishes, definitely more than enough for two people.

Qiao Xi was indeed a bit hungry, but it was impossible for the two of them to eat this much.

"Why did you buy so much stuff?"

Shen Dang smiled, "If we can’t finish it, we can save it for tomorrow."

Qiao Xi instantly became vigilant, "Don’t come here again tomorrow!"

Once or twice might be luck, but if someone saw him coming and going here, wouldn’t that cause her trouble?

Shen Dang smiled leisurely and pleased, "I meant you can boil it for eating tomorrow morning."

Qiao Xi: "..."

The hot pot broth began to bubble.

Both looked towards the bubbling pot.

"We can start cooking."

Shen Dang lifted his eyes slightly, the boiling mist rising from the pot creating a haze. As he looked at her through the white mist, her features seemed ethereally captivating.

His heart felt like it was filled with magma, stirring slightly because of her, much like the gradually boiling broth.

Seeing him staring without moving, Qiao Xi’s eyelids twitched, "What are you spacing out for?"

Shen Dang lowered his gaze, "What do you want to eat?"

"Meat!"

Now that they were having hot pot, what’s the joy in only eating vegetables?

So, Shen Dang put some slices of meat into the pot.

From the few meals they had together, Shen Dang had roughly figured out Qiao Xi’s tastes—she could handle spicy food.

But Shen Dang still put the meat in the non-spicy broth.

He said, "It’s not good to eat spicy food at night, let’s have non-spicy mushroom broth."

Non-spicy, what’s the point?

"Then why did you order a yin-yang pot if it’s like this?"

Isn’t this redundant?

Boss Shen wasn’t fond of spicy food either.

"’Yin-yang’ just sounds nice."

He stated it as if it made perfect sense.

Qiao Xi: "..."

This man must have some serious illness!

The meat was cooked in a few swishes.

Shen Dang picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and placed it into the bowl in front of her, "Eat."

"... I can do it myself."

Hot pot truly deserved its reputation as a beloved food, even if scooped from the mushroom broth, it was delicious.

But Qiao Xi still felt this scene wasn’t quite fitting for a divorced couple. To avoid awkwardness, she turned on a movie.

Shen Dang glanced at the projection on the wall, "Teacher Qiao likes to watch romance movies like Titanic?"
