Chapter 106: 106 I spoil you is good_1

Xu Boyan was universally acknowledged as a handsome boy in school. As a mere shopkeeper, he had a face that many were crushing on.

If Xu Boyan were not so distant, with his risqué persona, the fan-girl followers would surely be legion. Plenty of girls even considered Xu Boyan their dream man, to be idolized.

Lu Jiayue had to admit, she had harbored feelings for Xu Boyan too, but she kept herself in check.

Xu Boyan was just a little shopkeeper, while her ambitions were tied up with the prestigious families of Kyoto.

"The principal knows, and chooses not to intervene."

Wearing an innocent smile, Lu Jiayue spoke up casually, her voice hinting at underlying envy.

During their school days, those couples whose relationships were known to the school authorities, yet were allowed to indulge in unabashed romance were the envy of many.

Many desired such an experience an open romantic relationship that even if discovered, the school would not interfere. To be so bold even before the principal and teachers seemed ideal.

"Didn’t your parents object?"

Xiao Yi was taken aback. Elite families were generally concerned about maintaining equal status.

Lu Qingyi was dating a shopkeeper, did her parents not have anything to say about it?

"Mother was upset, and my sister refuses to come home. She has had a long-standing feud with our family."

Lu Jiayue shook her head, her smile displaying helplessness.

Xiao Yi’s expression changed slightly.

"I’m going to study."

Lu Jiayue pointed at the study material in her lap.

A sparkle of humor flickered in her eyes.

Seeing Xu Boyan and Lu Qingyi together made her somewhat uncomfortable.

Xiao Yi stood still, his eyes complex as he looked towards the direction of the shop, then sat down on the bench next to it.

——

As Lu Qingyi pushed open the door of the shop, she found the living room empty, she furrowed her brow slightly.

Xu Boyan was not around.

The sound of cutting vegetables came from the kitchen. Lu Qingyi gently pushed open the kitchen door.

She was quiet enough that Xu Boyan did not notice.

She leaned against the door frame, observing the man who was chopping vegetables with concentration. Men do look especially handsome when they focus.

His knife skills were not particularly adept, slightly slow, but he managed to cut the vegetables neatly.

A phone lying next to the cutting board, once he finished chopping, he would switch on a video.

"This dish is like this..."

He watched the vlogger explaining the dish very attentively.

Lu Qingyi felt incredibly moved. Xu Boyan was personally cooking for her. He was doing something he knew nothing about, just for her.

If all the misfortunes she’d faced so far were for her to end up with Xu Boyan, then she felt it was all worth it.

"Little friend, why are you here?"

Xu Boyan turned around to find Lu Qingyi standing there. He looked surprised.

He was wearing an apron with a cartoon image of a pink pig on it, not quite fitting his stature.

It was rather funny, seen on a grown man.

Xu Boyan’s austere facial features seemed at odds with the cute image on the apron.

"I missed you, so I came."

Lu Qingyi curved the corners of her mouth upwards into a light, gentle smile.

She tilted her head to look at Xu Boyan, barely suppressing laughter at his amusing attire.

"Little friend, don’t tease..."

Xu Boyan’s Adam’s apple moved slightly as he spoke, revealing a light laugh.

He untied his apron, washed his hands and then embraced the girl, resting his chin on her head.

The girl felt soft to the touch, and her hair had a pleasant scent of shampoo.

"Xu Boyan, thank you."

Lu Qingyi hugged Xu Boyan back, nestling her head in his chest. Her voice was soft.

Thank you for respecting me, for learning what you didn’t know before, for always being so gentle with me.

"Don’t ever thank me, okay?"

Xu Boyan freed one hand to gently stroke the girl’s head, his voice was tender.

His girl needn’t thank him; she just needed to enjoy his love for her.

Lu Qingyi nodded, "Okay."

"Are you hungry?"

Xu Boyan asked, his voice unusually gentle.

"Not hungry."

Lu Qingyi shook her head.

She wasn’t hungry; she just missed Xu Boyan.

"Did you learn cooking because of me?"

Lu Qingyi asked, her upward glance filled with hope.

If Xu Boyan, the heir to a large family and a man who had enjoyed a luxurious life since childhood, was willing to cook for her, she would be moved.

"I wanted to plump you up a bit."

Xu Boyan did not directly answer Lu Qingyi’s question. He chuckled.

When you love someone, you’re willing to do many things for them.

Xu Boyan himself didn’t realize that there would come a day when he would willingly do things he had never done before, for someone else’s sake, and find joy in it.

"Let me cook for you this afternoon."

After a long silence, Lu Qingyi slowly said.

She knew how to cook, she used to do it all the time for her grandmother.

"Let me handle the cooking, alright?"

Hearing that the girl wanted to cook for him, Xu Boyan was thrilled, but he did not want to burden her with the task.

Lu Qingyi replied, "I can cook. Grandma taught me."

There were many things her grandmother had taught her. She had worked hard to learn them; her grandmother always complimented her for having a knack for it.

"All you need is to enjoy being pampered by me, okay? You don’t need to worry about anything else, understood?"

Xu Boyan gently kissed the girl’s forehead, whispering in an indulgent tone.

Just let me pamper you.

Isn’t this what girls long to hear?

Lu Qingyi bit her lip lightly, "But I want to cook for you, just once."

She was persistent. Xu Boyan had done many things for her, but she had done nothing for him in return.

She was never someone who wanted without giving. She was used to reciprocal acts.

"What do you want to make? I will buy the ingredients tomorrow."

Xu Boyan sighed lightly, then relaxed.

"I can buy them myself."

Lu Qingyi spoke softly, biting her lip.

"Alright, I’ll wait for you."

Xu Boyan didn’t say much; he respected the girl’s wishes.

"Can you drive?"

Xu Boyan took a set of car keys out from the drawer and held them in his palm.

Lu Qingyi nodded, "Yes, I have a license."

She was quite young when she learned to drive. She was underage then and couldn’t apply for a license. As soon as she turned eighteen, she obtained her license.

Xu Boyan was slightly surprised. His little friend had obtained her license quite early.

"Take my car." Xu Boyan placed the car keys in Lu Qingyi’s hand. His voice was soft.

"Be careful on the road."

He added, somewhat concerned for his little friend.
