Chapter 109: Feeling of 109 Homes_1

Xiao Yi didn’t leave; he kept sitting on the bench, even when the bell indicating the start of classes rang. This was his first brazen act of skipping class, and the feeling made him somewhat uneasy.

He wanted to wait here for Lu Qingyi to come back.

"Lu Qingyi."

As soon as Lu Qingyi walked into the school, Xiao Yi saw her.

In Lu Qingyi’s hands was a bag filled with groceries, evidently things like vegetables.

"What do you want?"

Lu Qingyi raised an eyebrow, her gaze icy.

"Did you go grocery shopping?"

Getting a clearer look at the bag’s contents, Xiao Yi was mildly surprised.

He had always thought of Lu Qingyi as someone who was above worldly trivialities, so he never expected her to leave school to buy groceries.

"Does it concern you?"

Lu Qingyi looked at Xiao Yi with obvious befuddlement. As far as she could tell, there weren’t any connections between them.

Xiao Yi asked, "Can you cook?"

Seeing the bag in Lu Qingyi’s hands made him realize that the rich young lady could actually cook, a discovery that startled him.

"What’s it to you?"

Lu Qingyi walked past Xiao Yi, her expression chilly.

Xiao Yi watched helplessly as Lu Qingyi walked into the small grocery store, his hand clenched tight.

His love had ended before it ever began, he didn’t even have a chance.

"Is that heavy, young lady?"

Xu Boyan came over and took the grocery bag from Lu Qingyi, asking her softly.

The bag was quite heavy.

"It’s fine." Lu Qingyi shook her head; this slight weight didn’t really bother her.

"You should go out, I can handle this alone."

Lu Qingyi spoke before Xu Boyan could, pushing him out of the kitchen.

Since she was cooking for him, she certainly had to do it herself.

"Okay, call me when you’re done."

Xu Boyan fondly tousled the girl’s head before walking out of the store.

"Are you Xu Boyan?"

Seeing Xu Boyan walking out, Xiao Yi stepped forward and asked coldly.

He couldn’t deny it, Xu Boyan was handsome. Even though Xiao Yi prided himself on his good looks, he felt inferior in front of Xu Boyan.

No wonder, when Xu Boyan arrived at this school, he immediately drew the attention of the girls and quickly gained a passionate following.

"Hmm?"

Xu Boyan cast him an indifferent glance, his hand in his pocket, an overwhelming aura emanating from him.

"Making a girl cook, what kind of man are you?"

Xiao Yi stared at the store, knowing that Lu Qingyi was in the kitchen, but unable to see her.

Lu Qingyi might have willingly agreed to cook, but shouldn’t Xu Boyan, as a man, have volunteered to do these things?

How many meals had Lu Qingyi cooked for this man?

"Do you like my girlfriend?"

Xu Boyan ignored Xiao Yi’s accusation, countering with a cold question of his own.

He never intended for Lu Qingyi to cook, but she was insistent, and he dared not stop her.

Boys Xiao Yi’s age tend to be simple, wearing their hearts on their sleeves.

From Xiao Yi’s eyes, Xu Boyan could see love, love for Lu Qingyi.

"She likes you."

Xiao Yi stared at Xu Boyan.

He, in fact, wasn’t sure whether Lu Qingyi liked Xu Boyan or not. But one thing he knew for sure was that Lu Qingyi didn’t like him.

And the fact that Lu Qingyi was willing to cook for Xu Boyan indicated at least some fondness, didn’t it?

Xu Boyan curved his lips into a smile, his face full of joy, "I know she likes me."

The boy in front of him certainly spoke well.

Xiao Yi: "..."

Could you please be a little less confident?

"So, do you like her?"

It took Xiao Yi a long time to muster the courage to ask. He had been contemplating this question for a while.

The depth in Xu Boyan’s eyes was something Xiao Yi had never seen before. Before this encounter, he didn’t know Xu Boyan. But upon meeting him, he realized that Xu Boyan couldn’t possibly be just a simple grocery store owner.

The aura around Xu Boyan was not something a petty merchant could possess.

"Love at first sight, a glance that lasts a lifetime."

Xu Boyan’s lips curled into a smile, a strong sense of joy lingered on his face.

There’s always that one person who makes your heart flutter and brings a smile to your face whenever you think of her.

Liking Lu Qingyi wasn’t just all talk. He was ready to spend the rest of his life with her.

"Treat her well and I hope you two will be happy."

Xiao Yi lowered his head; his hands tightening then relaxing, then tightening again. It took a while for him to utter these words.

No, he didn’t hope for their happiness. Rather, he was hoping they would break up, then he might have a chance.

His first love was about to end just like that.

"Don’t worry, my girlfriend doesn’t need anyone else’s concern."

Xu Boyan took his hands out of his pocket, crossed his arms, and smirked.

Xiao Yi frowned, "You let her cook..."

"That’s none of your business."

Xu Boyan didn’t bother to explain or say anything further. He just looked at Xiao Yi coldly.

Wearing a white shirt and black trousers, and having good looks, Xiao Yi seemed to fit the ideal type of many girls.

Thankfully, his ’girlfriend’ was a bit special; otherwise, it would have been much more difficult to win her over.

"Yes..."

Xiao Yi laughed bitterly and lowered his head.

After all, whether it was him and Lu Qingyi or Xu Boyan, there were no connections. What they did or not did not concern him, it seemed as though he was not even in a position to comment.

He was in love with Lu Qingyi, but in Lu Qingyi’s eyes, he was nothing more than a stranger, someone who she couldn’t even put a name to.

Xu Boyan took one last glance at Xiao Yi before walking back into the store.

He had only wanted to come out for some fresh air, but he had not expected such a pleasant surprise.

His ’girlfriend’ seemed to attract a large number of admirers.

"My girlfriend, you certainly have quite the admirers."

Xu Boyan leaned against the kitchen door and watched Lu Qingyi busy herself inside.

He really wanted to help her, but he knew she would not want that. Watching his girlfriend bustling around, he felt an unmistakable sense of fulfillment.

"I don’t have admirers."

Lu Qingyi replied coldly, focusing on chopping vegetables. She never thought she had any admirers.

Xu Boyan chuckled, "Hmm, you’ve probably rejected them all."

Direct as she was, she surely wouldn’t lead anyone on. Judging by Xiao Yi’s demeanor, Xu Boyan was sure that he had been rejected.

And she probably rejected him by saying, "I have a boyfriend."

Xu Boyan took out his phone and snapped a picture of Lu Qingyi busying herself in the kitchen.

Seeing her in such a devoted state, he felt a unique sense of satisfaction, like the feeling of home.

He opened up his social media, typed out a caption and posted it with the picture of Lu Qingyi:

The feeling of home.
