It was exam week, and the first exam was the most difficult financial engineering. Although Mr. Li, the teacher, looked like a Buddha and always had a smile on his face, he was very ruthless in cheating people.
As soon as the bell rang to signal the end of the exam, Ren Yue ran to Qin Zhan with a look of resentment on his face and complained, "I'm so depressed. I was supposed to take the exam on call options, but why did it become a put option?"
Qin Zhan smiled and said calmly: "It's bearish, they are all in the same range. What are you thinking about if you don't study hard?"
Ren Yue sighed twice and changed the subject: "Let's go, let's celebrate after the exam."
"Where are you going?"
"Ximen Grilled Skewers. I haven't been there for a long time. I really miss their big kidneys. I heard they have new dishes recently, but I never got around to trying them."
"I'm afraid your desire to try new dishes is not real, but your real wish is to meet Teacher Li who loves big kidneys?" Qin Zhan said with a smile.
"Even though we see everything but don't say it out loud, we're still good friends, classmate." Ren Yue chuckled, and the two of them walked towards the west gate together.
After ordering the dishes, Ren Yue saw Qin Zhan holding his chin in a trance, as if thinking about something, so he asked with a smile: "What's the matter? How far have you progressed with the goddess?"
Qin Zhan glanced at Ren Yue and said seriously, "There is a kind of person called a dog-headed military advisor, who promises to offer advice and suggestions, but disappears as soon as he turns around."
"Isn't this to let you develop freely?" Ren Yue picked up the beer and took a sip, with a smirk on his face. When he saw that Qin Zhan was about to change his expression, he said, "You treat me to this meal, and I will make some plans for you?"
Qin Zhan glared at Ren Yue and said disdainfully: "No one would believe that!"
As they were talking, the grilled wings arrived first. Qin Zhan picked one up and took a bite.
Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, Qin Zhan looked at Ren Yue and said, "Tell me about it."
It was rare to see Qin Zhan being humiliated, so Ren Yue laughed loudly and deliberately avoided mentioning it. He took a few bites of the chicken wings first and said, "I haven't been here for a long time. Their chicken wings are getting better and better. They are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They are fresh and juicy. It seems that I have to come here often in the future."
Qin Zhan snatched the chicken wing from Ren Yue's hand and said, "Stop hesitating. Eat after you finish talking."
"You're not that hungry, are you? Oh, hungry..." Ren Yue looked at Qin Zhan's increasingly dark eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he said seriously, "I just heard that Tong Yao's 'ideal type' is a muscular man with six-pack abs."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhan suddenly wilted.
From the first time they met, Tong Yao labeled him a "nerd", which was far different from a man with abdominal muscles.
Is God going to kill me? Qin Zhan sighed silently in his heart.
Seeing his friend's worry, Ren Yue encouraged him: "Practice, nothing can stump a talented person like you!"
Qin Zhan said without thinking: "It's easy to say, come together?"
Ren Yue would rather die than fall into this trap, and laughed dryly: "My girlfriends will definitely not have such a request, I think I'd better forget it... But you, aren't you just a few muscles? For the goddess, it's worth fighting for it."
Qin Zhan thought about it silently for a while, then asked, "Is she in the martial arts association? How about I sign up tomorrow?"
Ren Yue half-jokingly said, "Oh, the infatuated genius has finally come to his senses."
Qin Zhan ignored him, grabbed the kidney that had just been served and took a few bites. After chewing a few bites, he seemed to remember something, put it down immediately, said "Eat it yourself", and ran out without looking back.
Ren Yue was stunned and shouted quickly: "Don't leave, you didn't pay! What about the treat you promised? Pay first before you leave——"
However, Qin Zhan had already disappeared from sight, and the only people who responded to Ren Yue were the curious gossipers who looked around and the waiter who approached him calmly.
Ren Yue wiped the sweat off his forehead and secretly said angrily: "I got tricked again..."
Qin Zhan didn't mean to cheat him, but when he thought about having six-pack abs and chatting and laughing with Tong Yao about love, he couldn't sit still any longer.
He ran all the way to the pharmacy near the school, bought two cans of protein powder, took them back to the dormitory, changed into sportswear and sneakers, and walked to the playground.
The playground is bustling at around seven or eight o'clock, with people running, playing ball, and couples being intimate with each other.
Qin Zhan glanced at her, imagining that one day he would be so close to Tong Yao, and a smile from the heart appeared inadvertently on his face. The light was dim, and it shone softly on his face, outlining a handsome face.
In this good mood, Qin Zhan ran eight kilometers in one breath that night. When he stopped, he realized that his whole body was very sore.
He strolled back to the dormitory slowly and met Ren Yue, who had been waiting for him for a long time with an angry look on his face.
"You're just destroying the bridge after crossing it, and you're killing the donkey after it's done working. How disloyal... Where's the treat you promised me? You just ran away without saying anything?"
Qin Zhan said "Oh" and said leisurely: "That's my fault. However, if I tell you that the paper we co-wrote in the financial engineering class, to be exact, the paper I wrote, won first place in the class, would you feel better?"
Ren Yue exclaimed in surprise, and flattered him decisively: "I'm so happy, Master, take me flying with you! Master, you didn't go to exercise so late at night? You're sweating..."
Qin Zhan nodded and said solemnly: "From now on, I will run eight kilometers every morning and evening, attend the martial arts association's training at noon, and only eat protein powder at night, plus 50 push-ups and 50 sit-ups. You are responsible for supervising me." After that, he went straight into the bathroom to wash up.
Ren Yue stood there in astonishment, thinking: Is this crazy?
Turning around, Ren Yue shared today's strange news with Xu Jiaojiao: "A thousand-year-old iron tree blooms in one day, and it's incredible. I started a body shaping plan for love."
Xu Jiaojiao: "How romantic! This love is waiting!"
Ren Yue: "I'm really looking forward to the talented person who becomes a 'useless dog' after training..."
Xu Jiaojiao: "No wonder Qin Zhan once said that someone has been mean since childhood."
This is really a huge misunderstanding! Ren Yue knew that this kind of thing would only make things worse.
Qin Zhan was sleepy. After Ren Yue called "Tong Yao" four or five times, he got up and turned off the "human alarm clock". After going out for a run, he signed up for the Wushu Association.
During training at noon the next day, Qin Zhan met Tong Yao in the classroom.
Tong Yao had already heard the news from Jiao Jiao, so she was not surprised to see him. She just asked doubtfully, "You have experienced the physical training before, and the training now will be even more intense. Are you sure you want to participate?"
"It's just a little hardship. It's always good to learn more martial arts and strengthen your body." Qin Zhan said with a smile.
Tong Yao was helpless: "Can you... do it?"
Qin Zhan said with a wicked smile: "No matter what, I have a heart for martial arts. How about you be my teacher?"
Tong Yao patted his shoulder, causing him to stagger. Qin Zhan blushed, and Tong Yao suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so she covered it up and said, "Then let's get started."
Tong Yao has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she has endured countless hardships that ordinary people cannot imagine. At first, she did it to protect herself, but later she found fun in it and became very serious about practicing martial arts.
Considering that Qin Zhan was a beginner and had a poor foundation, she decided to teach him some basic moves first.
Qin Zhan followed closely, even though he couldn't kick open and it took him a lot of effort to complete a move, but he was still full of confidence. After all, when his abdominal muscles are trained, it will be the day to confess to the goddess... No, maybe it will be earlier - the goddess may be moved by his sincerity and take the initiative to throw herself into his arms.
One of them taught seriously, the other studied seriously, and they were both good-looking, which made them very pleasing to the eye. Because of them, many new people joined the Wushu Association.
That morning, Qin Zhan went to the playground for a run as planned. When he was stretching after running, he accidentally sprained his waist. When he walked back to the dormitory slowly with his hands on his waist and his belly bulging, Ren Yue saw his strange posture and laughed wildly at first, and then asked, "Why are you so upset so early in the morning?"
Qin Zhan rolled his eyes at him and sighed, "I thought I was still a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, but I didn't expect my waist to deny me and show me when I didn't agree with it..."
"See, I'm letting you down! You can't eat hot tofu if you're impatient." Ren Yue sighed helplessly, then changed his mind and said, "I remember Jiaojiao said there's an activity at the nursing home today, can you still go?"
"You must go!" Qin Zhan said firmly.
"How are you going to pack up your things when you're like this?" Ren Yue asked in surprise.
"Don't we still have you?" Qin Zhan showed the classic Qin-style smile.
Ren Yue felt a chill all over his body and shook his head: "I'm so young, why am I destined to be an old woman?" He muttered to himself, but his hands did not stop, and he quickly helped Qin Zhan pack up his things.
When Qin Zhan met Tong Yao, he found out that the other three students couldn't go because the teacher had changed the class. So the five-person trip became a romantic trip for two. He couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He wanted to make jokes in the car to show his ability, but he was too sleepy to open his eyes after a few minutes - he got up too early in the morning to exercise.
Tong Yao looked at him with amusement and said compassionately, "Go to sleep if you are tired. It will take a while to get there."
Qin Zhan wailed in his heart, and said, trying hard to resist the urge to sleep: "No, I'm not sleepy..."
Tong Yao was rarely considerate: "It's too warm in the bus, the air isn't very good, and I'm sleepy too..." After saying that, she closed her eyes.
Qin Zhan looked at her sleeping face boldly, secretly happy, and fell asleep after a while.
The two of them swayed as the car moved, and before they knew it, Tong Yao, who was sitting on the inside, leaned against the window, while Qin Zhan leaned on her shoulder. There was an indescribable harmony between them.
Fortunately, Qin Zhan woke up soon, realized his "shy posture", and dared not sleep anymore.
As Christmas was approaching, the association bought several boxes of Red Fuji apples and gave them to the grandparents.
The car stopped at the entrance of the nursing home. Qin Zhan got out first, rolled up his sleeves deliberately, revealing his slightly bulging biceps, and said, "I'll move the apples first."
It worked so quickly? Tong Yao looked at him in surprise, feeling that she had underestimated him.
After showing off his muscles, Qin Zhan took a horse stance, bent down, and held the box firmly with both hands. When he straightened his body, he couldn't get up, and the apple box, which was only a few centimeters off the ground, fell down heavily again.
Tong Yao, who was standing by, took in all the details and couldn't help but mutter: "A box is only ten kilograms, right? It's really still a "weak chicken"...
Tong Yao took the apple box from Qin Zhan and shook her head, "Let me do it. Don't tire you out."
Qin Zhan blushed and argued, "That won't work. How can I let a girl do it? I was just testing my strength."
Tong Yao said nothing, carried the boxes effortlessly, and walked straight into the nursing home.
Qin Zhan held his waist and worried alone: ​​"It's over, I've been looked down upon again... The road to love is long."
Fortunately, he still had a trick up his sleeve.
Qin Zhan dressed up as Santa Claus and gave gifts to grandpa and grandma one by one: "Happy Christmas, grandpa and grandma! Good health, happiness and longevity!" He also made funny gestures from time to time, making the old people laugh.
Tong Yao had never thought that the rumored "romantic talent" could have such a side. It really opened her eyes. She clapped and laughed along with the old people.
Grandma Chang said, "Yaoyao, please give us a martial arts performance. I haven't seen it for a long time."
Tong Yao readily agreed and performed an impromptu martial arts performance, including palm thrust, hooking hands, and punching, all in one go. Her movements were smooth, powerful, and completed in one go.
Qin Zhan was stunned and was deeply impressed once again.
With a girlfriend like this, what more could a husband ask for?
He chuckled and handed Tong Yao a cup of warm water: "Drink some water, don't get tired." As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat off Tong Yao's face.
Tong Yao was stunned for a moment.
It was her first time to have such close contact with the opposite sex. She didn’t know how to react. She just let Qin Zhan’s hand wipe her face and felt his breath getting closer and closer.
Qin Zhan, who was staring at her closely, naturally did not miss Tong Yao's blushing face. Looking at Tong Yao's rosy white face, cute red lips and perfect lip lines, he was already intoxicated and wanted to take a bite.
Grandma Chang, who had been paying attention to the two of them, suddenly remembered something and smiled with relief.
Tong Yao seemed to be aware of something, and glanced at Grandma Chang, feeling a little shy for a moment. She was not sure what to do, but heard Qin Zhan say, "Grandpa, do you have a erhu?" He borrowed the erhu, sat in the middle of the yard, and played "Qin Si".
The melody is smooth and soft, melodious and graceful, sometimes sonorous and powerful, sometimes soft and gentle, making people intoxicated. "Intoxicated and unaware of the way home" is probably like this, right?
After listening for a while, Tong Yao's shyness faded away, and an expression of admiration unconsciously appeared on her face. She thought that the "romantic genius" did have some unique skills.
The old men and women all applauded Qin Zhan. One old man exclaimed: "Young man, you have a good foundation."
"Grandpa, you're overpraising me. I got interested in it when I was in middle school, so I practiced for a few years, but I'm still far behind the grandpas."
"Haha, young people nowadays are so modest? How about we have a competition?"
"Grandpa thinks too highly of me, please give me some advice." After saying that, Qin Zhan helped his grandfather sit down and handed him the erhu with both hands.
Many of the grandpas and grandmas were veterans of the Red Army who had marched through the Long March, and this grandpa was a member of the art troupe. The grandpa's tunes have a kind of weathered yet unyielding strength...
Happy times always pass quickly. As it was getting dark, Tong Yao and Qin Zhan said goodbye to the old people.
The old people were reluctant to leave and kept praising them: "You are both good children. Yaoyao is of course a good example, and Xiaozhan is multi-talented and handsome."
Grandma Chang pulled Tong Yao aside and whispered, "Grandma still said what I said before. If you meet the right person, you must seize it in time."
Tong Yao blushed as she listened to Grandma Chang's words. She wanted to explain, but she also felt that this feeling seemed quite good.
Over the years, she has almost never been pursued by anyone. The only person who pursued her, Qin Zhan, was good in every way except that he was a "weakling" and not her "ideal type". Alas, how can one have both...
Tong Yao's attitude softened a bit. Qin Zhan saw it and couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He deeply sighed that this trip was not in vain: the road of love is long, but it is also promising.
Early in the morning on Christmas Day, Qin Zhan's phone rang.
He was washing up and thought it was Tong Yao. He was so flustered that he almost fell down.
He picked up the phone and saw that it was the female devil. He greeted her depressedly: "Sister."
"What are you doing? Why did you take so long to answer the phone!" the person on the other end of the phone yelled.
"Washing my face..." Qin Zhan held the phone away from his ear with a painful look on his face.
"You need to move faster. Why are you so young and so slow?"
"I will definitely change next time!" In front of Sister Qin, one must obey unconditionally without reason, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
Qin Zhan asked: "What's the matter?"
"Come back for dinner tonight. I have something to tell you. Be home on time at six o'clock." Qin Yue hung up the phone before Qin Zhan agreed.
Ren Yue came in from the door and saw Qin Zhan staring blankly at his phone. He leaned over and asked, "Are you greeting the goddess?"
Qin Zhan glanced at him unhappily and asked, "What are your plans for New Year's Day?"
"I have made an appointment with Jiaojiao to spend New Year's Eve together, but the specific program has not been decided yet."
"That's right, the four of us are traveling together."
"Huh, you hooked up with the goddess so quickly?" Ren Yue asked half-believingly.
"It's almost certain. It's just a matter of time before the window paper is broken. It's rare to go out, why not go to a warm and convenient place to stay at home... Like Thailand?"
"Going to see transvestite? Wow! Does the goddess know that you are so unrestrained?" Ren Yue teased. When Qin Zhan threw a book at him, Ren Yue immediately begged for mercy, "I know, I know. I'll go ask Jiaojiao." After saying that, he ran out of the dormitory.
Qin Zhan immediately sent a WeChat message to Tong Yao: "What are your plans for New Year's Day? Do you want to go out and play together?"
After waiting for a few minutes without any reply, Qin Zhan continued to wash and pack the things he would take home in the evening.
Ren Yue arrived downstairs at the girls' dormitory and saw Jiaojiao coming out with her cell phone.
Today, Xu Jiaojiao wore a watermelon red short cotton jacket, a black pleated skirt, black high heels, and a high ponytail. From a distance, she looked like a blooming little red flower. She is petite and has fair skin, which makes people love her more and more.
"Ren Yue, what are you daydreaming about?" Jiaojiao saw him from afar and shouted happily.
"Look at the scenery and the beauties." Ren Yue said with a wicked smile.
Having been together for a long time, Xu Jiaojiao naturally knew that he had a good nature, but he was used to talking glibly. But even though she knew it, she still couldn't help blushing.
Ren Yue's heart beat a beat for no apparent reason. He suppressed this unknown impulse and asked, "What are your plans for New Year's Day? Qin Zhan and I want to invite you to go to Thailand together. Do you want to go?"
Jiaojiao cheered after hearing this: "Great, that's great! We haven't been out to play for a long time! But..." She frowned, "Yaoyao plans to graduate early and has to write her graduation thesis during the holidays."
"It's over. Qin Zhan's wish will not come true." Ren Yue was happy instead, "Then it's just the two of us."
Xu Jiaojiao was half surprised, half happy, and half worried. Of course, traveling alone with Ren Yue was something she had always dreamed of, but was what she thought of the same as what Ren Yue thought of?
She felt mixed emotions and didn't dare to look at Ren Yue. After thinking for a while, she became cheerful again: "Okay, then it's decided happily. I will bring Yaoyao some delicious food."
In the evening, when Qin Zhan returned home, the table was already filled with food, and Qin Yue and Qin Sicheng were playing with their baby son.
Qin Zhan greeted him and tried to pick up his nephew, but he couldn't do it - his waist hadn't recovered yet. He touched the child's head awkwardly and asked, "Little Ye Ye, do you miss your uncle?"
Ye Ye put her little mouth close to Qin Zhan's face, nodded and said, "I miss my uncle so much. Does uncle have a gift?"
Qin Zhan pinched his cheeks and said, "Ghost." Taking out the Transformers that he had prepared long ago from his bag, Qin Zhan said, "My uncle's favorite toy. Look, it can transform!"
Qin Yue laughed at the side and said, "They say nephews resemble their uncles. Our Yeye can't grow up like you, unable to carry things on your shoulders or hands, and still clinging to toys at this age."
Qin Sicheng argued: "Hey, boys like it, they all like it."
Ye Ye shouted happily: "I'm so happy! My favorite! Uncle is so nice!"
Qin Yue became excited: "I'm almost 20, and other boys have only had a few girlfriends. For example, the boy from the Ren family..."
Qin Zhan said that he was shot by an arrow innocently and his knee hurt a lot, so he winked and asked his brother-in-law for help.
Qin Sicheng received Qin Zhan's "signal" and quickly changed the subject: "It's time to eat. If you wait any longer, the food will get cold."
Qin Yue nodded, and the topic was successfully changed.
At the dinner table, Qin Yue picked up some food for Qin Zhan while saying, "New Year's Day is coming soon. Your brother-in-law and I have booked a flight to New Zealand the day after tomorrow. We plan to have a make-up honeymoon. My parents are also abroad and can't come back. Can you come and help me look after Ye Ye for a few days?"
"But, I also have an appointment with my classmates to go out and play, you can bring Ye Ye with you." Qin Zhan said immediately, with a strong desire in his heart.
"How can you take your kids on a honeymoon? You can go next time. We have already booked the tickets, and it's hard to cancel them."
Qin Zhan was just thinking about how to shirk the responsibility when he suddenly received a WeChat notification on his phone. He opened it and read it, looking dejected.
Just as he was feeling lost, he heard Qin Yue calling him, "I'll give you three minutes to answer me. Option one: I agree. Option two: I absolutely agree. Choose one of the two."
"What era is it now? Are you still playing the dictatorship?" Qin Zhan said dissatisfiedly. His sister never gets tired of this trick.
"I am very democratic. I gave you two options. But you also know that you are the people and I am the master."
Qin Zhan looked at Tong Yao's WeChat depressedly: I have to prepare my graduation thesis during the holiday, so I can't go out to play. I wish you have a good time! After a while, he nodded.
After dinner, Qin Zhan returned to school.
As soon as he entered the dormitory, Ren Yue came over and said with a gloating look: "I heard that the goddess is going to write a paper during the vacation."
Qin Zhan glanced at him with great displeasure: "This kind of news only needs to be spread once, you two can go and have fun by yourselves."
Ren Yue pretended to be serious and lowered his voice: "One minute of silence... Good things take time."
Seeing Ren Yue's annoying expression, Qin Zhan really wanted to beat him up, but unfortunately, they were equally strong and his chances of winning were slim.
Ren Yue was naturally familiar with his every move, and asked in surprise: "What did you want to do just now? Did you want to fight? A gentleman talks, not fights. I say... you can't get infected with the goddess's bad habits just because you've been with her for a long time..."
Qin Zhan grabbed the quilt and covered Ren Yue with it in embarrassment: "Go to sleep!"
No matter how much Ren Yue talked, Qin Zhan pretended not to hear.
Qin Zhan tossed and turned, unable to sleep until the second half of the night...
The New Year's Day holiday was approaching, so Qin Zhan returned home early that day. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw the house filled with large and small bags.
"Does a honeymoon have to be so exaggerated?" Qin Zhan said helplessly.
"What do you know? When you go out, you need at least one set of clothes, a pair of shoes, a hat, a scarf, and a bag for every day you go out - because you need to take pictures."
Women are so scary! Will Tong Yao be like this in the future? Qin Zhan thought.
Qin Yue continued, "Also, the sanitation of the hotel cannot be guaranteed, so you should bring bed sheets, quilt covers, bath towels, and towels with you when you travel, so that you can use them with confidence. Traveling is about enjoying yourself, so do whatever makes you feel comfortable."
Qin Sicheng came over and muttered, "Traveling or moving? Nowadays, people advocate traveling without burdens, so the simpler the better... Aren't you tired of carrying so many things?"
Qin Yue rolled her eyes at him and said, "I am happy to do that. I am the one who usually serves you. How come you are tired before I even say I am tired?"
The two men stopped talking. Qin Zhan glanced at Qin Sicheng, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes, but more of envy: Will Tong Yao also do these trivial things for me?
After packing up, Qin Yue called Qin Zhan to the baby room and reminded him, "Take good care of the baby these days." She pointed to the baby supplies on the table and instructed one by one, "This is the bottle. Feed once in the morning, noon and evening every day. Each time, put 220 ml of 37 degrees Celsius warm water, then add 8 level spoons of milk powder, shake evenly, and you can feed - remember to wash your hands before mixing the milk powder. Give Ye Ye a bath every night, the water temperature should be between 38 and 40 degrees Celsius, and the shower gel is in the bathroom. This is the body lotion, remember to apply it on Ye Ye after washing..."
Qin Zhan listened to Qin Yue's instructions with an expressionless face.
If he hadn't been physically exhausted, he would have definitely risen up in rebellion!
After instructing Qin Zhan, Qin Yue and his wife were ready to leave for the airport.
Qin Zhan helped move the suitcases into the car, and then saw his sister and brother-in-law off.
Fortunately, Ye Ye was used to being abandoned by his parents, so he was quiet and didn't cry or make a fuss, playing by himself in Qin Zhan's arms.
Qin Yue was right about one thing. Yeye was indeed easy to take care of - he could hold the Transformers and play with them for a long time, even laughing while doing so.
Seeing that the time was almost 12 o'clock, Qin Zhan got up to make some milk powder. While feeding Ye Ye, he sang: "What comes to us is such a familiar melody. It feels familiar, yet so different. They are both our favorites..."
Little Yeye drank milk with a sweet smile on his face. Two shallow dimples appeared on his fair and tender face. His long and curled eyelashes trembled slightly, which was very beautiful.
“I wonder how many girls he will charm when he grows up.” Qin Zhan said happily.
Yeye has a very regular schedule and falls asleep shortly after drinking milk.
Qin Zhan gently put Ye Ye on the bed, covered him with a quilt, and walked out of the room.
Qin Zhan was very bored, so he started to check his Moments. He saw the photo of Ren Yue and Jiaojiao in Thailand and snorted, "Show off..."
However, when he saw the comments below, he suddenly perked up.
Tong Yao: "Hateful... People who are still hungry and can't eat make me want to hit someone." She added an envious expression at the end.
"It's already this late and we haven't eaten yet, how can this be okay?" Qin Zhan thought, and suddenly an idea came to his mind - love game strategy point - exquisite cooking skills.
He walked to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and smiled proudly when he saw it was full of vegetables and meat.
I picked a few vegetables, washed, cut and cooked them. Everything went smoothly and naturally.
After a while, the food became fragrant.
Just after packing the food, the sound of a baby crying was heard. Qin Zhan hurried into the baby room and saw that Ye Ye had woken up and stretched out his chubby little arms to be held.
Children are really strange creatures. As soon as Ye Ye got into Qin Zhan's arms, he burst into laughter instantly, stretched himself, and hugged Qin Zhan's neck tightly.
"Ye Ye, be good. Uncle will take you to school to play, okay?" Thinking that he couldn't leave the child alone at home, Qin Zhan decided to take Ye Ye to school and... visit Tong Yao at the same time.
Ye Ye nodded .
When they arrived at the downstairs of the girls' dormitory, Qin Zhan called Tong Yao: "Come out for a moment, I'll wait for you downstairs."
"What's the matter? So mysterious..." Tong Yao said with a hint of impatience.
"I brought you something delicious - you can't stay hungry, can you? Come on."
After hearing this, Tong Yao felt warm in her heart, put on her coat and ran out of the dormitory.
When they got downstairs, they saw Qin Zhan holding a lunch box in one hand and a child in the other, like a father bringing a child to find his mother. Tong Yao hesitated for a moment: "What is this?"
"Oh, my nephew. I'll help my sister take care of him for a few days."
Ye Ye was blinking his big eyes and looking at Tong Yao, grinning.
Tong Yao also looked at Ye Ye's little face: big eyes, double eyelids, long eyelashes, pouty lips, round rosy cheeks, and a pair of dimples.
"What a cute baby!" she exclaimed.
"Thank goodness we have good genes." Qin Zhan was very proud.
Tong Yao rolled her eyes at him and reached out to tease Ye Ye.
"Let's eat first, it's almost cold." Qin Zhan said.
Tong Yao nodded.
People should know how to be grateful. It was impossible for Tong Yao to just take the things and go upstairs, but it was impossible for Qin Zhan to carry Ye Ye to the girls' dormitory. Fortunately, there was a cafe nearby.
After they were seated, Qin Zhan brought out the food. Tong Yao drooled at the sight of it: the fragrant spicy chicken, the milky white crucian carp soup, and the emerald green broccoli.
"Which restaurant is this from? It tastes pretty good." Tong Yao asked in admiration after tasting the spicy chicken.
"I did it." Qin Zhan said proudly.
"Really? I didn't know you had such cooking skills." Maybe he was too hungry, or maybe the food was so delicious that the big portion of spicy chicken was finished in just a few minutes.
Qin Zhan gently watched Tong Yao enjoying the food, and said with a smile: "Eat slowly, no one will snatch it from you." He poured another bowl of fish soup and handed it to her, "It's so spicy, drink some soup."
"It's delicious. I like spicy food." Tong Yao opened her mouth and blew out air, taking the fish soup with one hand.
After eating and drinking, Tong Yao rubbed her stomach, looking satisfied and happy. She asked Qin Zhan: "Why did you think of bringing me food?"
"I see you are too busy and don't have time to eat, which is bad for your stomach. I have nothing to do, so I cooked a few dishes." Qin Zhan did not say explicitly that he made them especially for her.
Tong Yao looked at him silently and said nothing.
The moment she saw Qin Zhan downstairs in the dormitory, Tong Yao's heart was throbbing. A grown boy holding a child and carrying a lunch box, there was an indescribable harmony, which made her think of home and warmth, and she suddenly felt that this winter was not so cold.
At this moment, a gurgling sound suddenly was heard.
Tong Yao looked at Qin Zhan strangely: "Are you...hungry?"
"My little uncle didn't eat any meal, he drank baby milk." Ye Ye looked at Qin Zhan with a frown and pressed Qin Zhan's belly with his little finger.
Tong Yao was stunned: "You eat his milk powder?"
"Well... I was a little hungry at that time, but the food was not ready yet..." Qin Zhan touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Are you..." Stupid.
Even though she was even more moved, Tong Yao looked at the empty plates on the table and wanted to cover her face and sigh. She looked at Qin Zhan's lowered head and called the waiter to order a few more snacks.
While Qin Zhan was eating, Tong Yao held Ye Ye and played with him: "Call me auntie."
"Auntie." Ye Ye's voice was so sweet that it almost melted Tong Yao's heart.
"Hey, cutie, what's your name?"
"I'm a little spark."
Tong Yao burst out laughing: "Who named you? Why is it Sparks?"
"My name is Qin Yeye. My uncle said that Ye means spark, so you can also call me Spark." Yeye said seriously.
"Haha, okay! What your uncle actually wants to talk about is Huohua, right? That Huohua is very handsome and charming. Your uncle wants you to become a handsome guy in the future, right?" Tong Yao looked at Ye Ye's serious face and laughed uncontrollably.
Ye Ye had a question mark on his face and repeated seriously: "Sparks? Flowers?"
Qin Zhan laughed and said, "He couldn't pronounce that syllable. I corrected him for a long time."
Ye Ye seemed to understand and started to study the pronunciation of "Hua Hua" on his own.
"Are you going to look after Ye Ye these days?" Tong Yao asked Qin Zhan.
"My sister and brother-in-law won't be back until after New Year's Day, and I have to take care of this little rascal for the next few days. God have pity on me, how can I take care of a child?" Qin Zhan acted pitifully.
"Then... how about I help you watch it when I'm free?" Tong Yao said after a moment's hesitation. After all, a man who has given him food will be grateful to him, and a man who has given him something will be grateful to him... Besides, she still likes Ye Ye quite a lot.
It was definitely a blessing in disguise! Qin Zhan said happily, "Really?"
"Of course, just consider it as a thank you for the meal today. Besides, Yeye is so cute, who knows how she will be ravaged by a boy like you."
Qin Zhan nodded happily. Happiness came too suddenly, and he was speechless.
As they were talking, it was already dark. Qin Zhan carried Ye Ye and sent Tong Yao downstairs to the dormitory. He left his home address and went home.
When the doorbell rang, Qin Zhan was immersed in a sweet dream: he was holding Tong Yao's hand, walking on the beach, and Tong Yao was smiling at him happily.
His good dream was interrupted, Qin Zhan covered his ears with a pillow and didn't want to move.
At this time, the sound of a child crying was heard again from next door.
Qin Zhan reluctantly got up from the bed and looked at Ye Ye with sleepy eyes - it turned out that he had wet his pants.
Qin Zhan hurriedly changed Ye Ye into clean clothes. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the doorbell rang again.
He hurried to open the door and saw Tong Yao shivering outside. He wondered if he was dreaming.
"What's wrong? Didn't I agree yesterday that I would help you look after Ye Ye?" Tong Yao gestured to him with the food bag in her hand, and after he turned sideways, she slipped into the house.
Qin Zhan then followed in with a dreamy look on his face.
"The breakfast we bought is getting cold. Did you just wake up?" Tong Yao put the breakfast on the dining table and said while blowing on her hands.
"Ye Ye was just crying..." Qin Zhan explained.
"Ah, are you hungry? Take me to see it."
Tong Yao followed Qin Zhan to the baby room.
Ye Ye was lying on the bed alone, with his limbs stretched out and his face tilted towards the window. When they got closer, they saw that the little guy was sleeping soundly with his eyes slightly closed, his mouth pouting, and snoring.
"Uh... he was crying and making a fuss just now, and he fell asleep again so quickly..." Qin Zhan was speechless.
"That's what's so adorable about children." Tong Yao said with a smile.
At this time, Qin Zhan suggested: "Let's go have breakfast."
The two came to the restaurant and took out soy milk, fried dough sticks and sandwiches from the bag.
Qin Zhan was amazed, but Tong Yao blushed and explained: "I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I just bought some..."
In fact, she is the setting of a "warm man", right? Qin Zhan sighed silently.
Because they were worried about Ye Ye, the two finished their meal quickly.
When they came to the baby room again, Ye Ye happened to open his eyes. Tong Yao said happily, "Little Spark, it's time to get up." She walked over and touched his little face, which felt so good.
"Woo woo..." Ye Ye wrinkled his nose, unwilling to wake up.
Qin Zhan picked up the bottle and prepared the milk powder for Yeye. Tong Yao took it and tested the temperature, then put the nipple into Yeye's mouth. When Yeye saw the food, he suddenly woke up and drank the milk seriously.
After finishing his feeding, Yeye yelled for Tongyao to hold him. Tongyao, full of childishness, held him high in one hand.
"Come and help me look after the kids, how are you going to write your paper?"
"Then... just take a break and work overtime in the evening." Tong Yao replied indifferently.
"That's not good... How about I help you look up information?"
"Okay." Tong Yao, who was playing with Ye Ye, seemed like a different person. She was so gentle that Qin Zhan was a little uncomfortable.
After helping Ye Ye wash and play for a while, Qin Zhan reminded him, "Don't just play with Huo Hua, hurry up and prepare your paper."
Tong Yao cried out sadly: "The thesis is so annoying... Come on, Little Spark, go study with auntie." After that, she carried Ye Ye to the study.
Qin Zhan shook his head and followed him in. He watched Tong Yao holding Ye Ye in her left hand and taking out a notebook and reference book with her right hand.
Ye Ye seemed to like this magical thing called computer very much and kept moving closer to the screen.
Tong Yao smiled and said, "Does Little Spark like it?"
Yeye nodded: "It can bark and move."
"Haha! It can do a lot of things. You will know when you grow up. You can't play with it now." Tong Yao laughed heartily.
Ye Ye frowned unhappily and asked, "Why?"
Tong Yao looked at Ye Ye's serious expression and found that he was 70% similar to Qin Zhan.
She stroked his round little head and explained, "Because you are still young, this is for adults to work."
"How can you write a paper like this?" Qin Zhan frowned and said, "Ye Ye, be good, uncle will hold you."
Ye Ye shook his head and quickly hugged Tong Yao's neck.
Tong Yao laughed out loud.
Qin Zhan was a little embarrassed after being rejected, but seeing how close the two of them were, he couldn't help but have a little hope in his heart: So this is what life is like for a family of three, warm, happy, and sweet...
He was so proud that he opened his mouth and said, "Ye Ye, if you like me so much, why don't you call me auntie? How about calling me aunt?"
Tong Yao had just taken a sip of water, but when she heard this, she immediately spat it out and kept coughing.
Qin Zhan apologized sincerely: "My fault..."
Tong Yao nodded, and just as her expression was about to relax, she heard Qin Zhan say, "I should have chosen to tell you when you haven't had any water."
Tong Yao coughed a few more times and blushed: "Don't bully the baby because he is small and you talk nonsense."
"Of course not. Yeye understands it all, right?" Qin Zhan pinched Yeye's rosy little face.
Ye Ye looked at the two of them and nodded like a little adult.
Qin Zhan laughed out loud.
Tong Yao reached out and pinched Qin Zhan's arm hard.
"Ah!" Qin Zhan screamed, "You are so cruel... But who made me like it? Alas!"
Going crazy when a disagreement arises...
Tong Yao knocked on the table: "Okay, stop making trouble and study. Little Spark, be a good boy and don't learn from your bad uncle." As she said that, she put the child in her arms and typed on the keyboard.
Qin Zhan also immediately became serious and started looking for information.
