Chapter 110: Just focus on being happy after 110_1

Xu Boyan looked down at the picture on his phone, a thick laugh spreading across his face.

The child is truly beautiful. Just her figure seen from behind is enough to captivate people.

He put his phone back into his pocket, a smile still on his face, as he watched the bustling girl.

His phone in the pocket was vibrating continuously, but he ignored it.

"Okay, wash your hands and let’s eat."

Lu Qingyi cooked very quickly. In no time, the meal was ready. She turned around to face Xu Boyan and spoke.

"Sure."

Xu Boyan got up, washed the dishes, and started setting the table.

It almost felt like they were an old married couple.

"When did you learn to cook, kiddo?"

The dishes Lu Qingyi cooked were colorful, fragrant, and utterly delicious, making them incredibly tempting.

"When I was five," Lu Qingyi replied honestly.

My grandmother was a teacher in a small town. Sometimes because of her work at school, she would often come home very late.

So I wanted to learn how to cook, so that my grandmother could have a meal as soon as she returned home.

Only after repeatedly asking did my grandmother reluctantly agree to teach me. She hesitated ever so much, as I was still so young.

But I was adamant.

"My little girl, from now on, let me take care of the cooking. You just focus on eating."

Xu Boyan felt a bit sorry for her. She must have had a tough childhood.

He picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her bowl, "Eat some meat."

Lu Qingyi glanced at the meat in her bowl with a somewhat uncomfortable expression. She had cooked braised pork because her grandmother always praised it. It was for Xu Boyan.

But she had never thought about eating it. She didn’t like eating meat.

"You’re too skinny, kiddo. Eat more, okay?"

Xu Boyan stared at the girl, clearly seeing her expression. Nevertheless, he still asked her.

How can you not eat meat?

"Well... okay..."

Lu Qingyi reluctantly agreed. She hesitated a bit, picked up the piece of meat in her bowl, and slowly put it into her mouth.

"Do you like it?"

Xu Boyan asked softly.

The girl’s expression made it seem like she was suffering.

"It’s tasty, but I don’t want to eat it."

Lu Qingyi shook her head and replied.

She never said that meat didn’t taste good. She just preferred eating vegetables. So she wasn’t against eating meat, she just didn’t really like it.

She couldn’t explain why, but many of her habits were dissimilar to Yao Meishu and Lu Yao.

Yao Meishu was a carnivore, Lu Yao ate both meat and vegetables, Lu Jiayue was like Lu Yao, and Lu Jiahao preferred Yao Meishu. She seemed unlike anyone in her family.

She was allergic to shrimp, but the four of them loved shrimp. Was it that her constitution was unusually delicate, or was she just incompatible?

If not for her resemblance to them, she would doubt if she really were Yao Meishu’s biological daughter.

"Eat something else." Xu Boyan frowned, pondering how to make Lu Qingyi enjoy eating meat.

There are many nutrients that you can’t get if you don’t eat meat.

"It’s delicious." He took a piece of braised pork, quite surprised by Lu Qingyi’s cooking skills.

"From now on, you don’t have to cook. All you need to do is to be happy."

Xu Boyan reached out and wiped a grain of rice from Lu Qingyi’s lips. He moved gently, then put the grain into his own mouth.

It tasted sweet, just like the sweetness of a young girl.

Lu Qingyi bit her lower lip, her ears turning red. She felt a slight sense of heat.

She looked up at Xu Boyan, her eyes glowing with light.

Perhaps this was what love looks like? Perhaps this was how it felt to like someone?

Xu Boyan gave her all of his gentleness. Perhaps it was true what they say:

Eventually, someone comes along who holds you dear in their heart, liking and accepting you and bestowing upon you infinite affection. Eventually, someone comes along who protects your youthful heart and lets you experience what love truly looks like.

By the time Xiao Yi returned to the classroom, two periods had already passed. Even though he had never cut class before, because his performance was always stellar, his teacher never questioned his whereabouts.

"Xiao Yi, where have you been?"

Carrying an exercise book, Lu Jiayue came over and sat down at the empty seat in front of Xiao Yi, asking in feigned confusion.

She had a clear idea of where Xiao Yi had been--it must have had something to do with Lu Qingyi.

Ha, Lu Qingyi sure was lucky. She even managed to capture the affections of the cool, top-performing, most popular boy in school.

What gave her the right?

"Something came up."

Xiao Yi took out an exercise book from his drawer. His voice was rather cold.

"Could you explain this problem to me?"

Lu Jiayue pushed the exercise book in front of Xiao Yi, asking him gently.

She knew how to solve the problem, but just wanted to use this opportunity to chat more with Xiao Yi.

"Your sister’s grades are better than mine."

Xiao Yi glanced at Lu Jiayue dismissively.

In his eyes, Lu Qingyi was indeed exceptional. Despite not listening in class, not revising her notes, not doing any extra studying, she could still ace her tests.

His own good grades came from his continuous hard work and his determination to never let up. He reminded himself not to slack off because as soon as he did, he wouldn’t be able to hold on to his position as the top student.

Studying wasn’t the only way out, but it was the quickest shortcut.

"Ah, my sister often isn’t at school."

Lu Jiayue bit her lip, speaking with a hint of regret.

Even if Lu Qingyi were at school, there’s no way she’d go and ask Lu Qingyi for help.

In fact, she didn’t even have Lu Qingyi’s contact information. Her phone number had been blocked by Lu Qingyi.

"She’s at school now."

Xiao Yi looked down at the book in his hands, refusing to look up.

Indeed, Lu Qingyi was at school, in the snack shop, at her boyfriend’s place.

Xiao Yi couldn’t pinpoint exactly why he was attracted to Lu Qingyi. Despite them having met only a handful of times, his heart would always skip a beat whenever he thought of her.

Looking at Lu Jiayue, who bore a strong resemblance to Lu Qingyi, he didn’t feel anything at all.

Perhaps it was like:

I like grapes, but grape juice isn’t the same, grape candy isn’t the same, and grape wine isn’t the same either. Looking like you isn’t enough, sounding like you isn’t enough, and having a personality like you isn’t enough. If it’s not you, it’s not good enough.

So, from beginning to end, the only one he’s ever liked was Lu Qingyi.

"Can’t you explain this problem to me?"

Lu Jiayue was resting her chin on her hand, and her voice came out soft, carrying a touch of inexplicable grievance.

She looked a lot like Lu Qingyi; would that soften Xiao Yi’s heart?

Perhaps Xiao Yi liked her instead. Could that be possible?

She had hardly ever interacted with Xiao Yi in the past despite them being classmates for nearly three years.

So, was it possible that Xiao Yi harbored feelings for her and felt that she was too good to approach? Since the arrival of Lu Qingyi, who had also grown up in the countryside, had Xiao Yi transferred his feelings for her onto Lu Qingyi?

"I need to study."

Xiao Yi didn’t even lift his head. He kept his eyes on his book.

Everyone in the first class knew that Xiao Yi was very diligent in his studies but disliked answering questions for others. Moreover, he didn’t really like interacting with others.
