Chapter 603: Chapter 507 Zhouzhou Doing Chores Chapter 603: Chapter 507 Zhouzhou Doing Chores Jiang Ning’s gifting of the Good Luck Potion was known only to herself and the System.
She hadn’t planned to make a big deal out of it, thinking of it as silently doing a good deed.
After getting up and washing up, Jiang Ning changed into her clothes and went to the balcony to slowly perform a set of the Eight Silk Brocade exercises for strength and health.
The rising sun was slowly ascending from the horizon, peeking out from the clouds, casting strands of golden morning light over the city.
Jiang Ning concentrated deeply, enjoying the tranquility of the early morning.
After completing the Eight Silk Brocade, she continued to move around a bit before heading back inside.
She picked up the cell phone from the coffee table to check the ti and saw, when the phone lit up, unread WeChat ssages that imdiately caught her attention.
Jiang Ning slightly raised her eyebrows, the ssages were from Qi Xingzhou, sent six minutes ago.
Qi Family’s Mushroom: Jiang Ning, are you up yet?
Qi Family’s Mushroom: Little Bear squatting.jpg
Qi Family’s Mushroom: I’m coming over to bring you breakfast.
Jiang Ning swiped her hand, and the phone screen unlocked automatically.
“Where are you?”
As she typed the reply, Jiang Ning stepped toward the entrance.
For so reason, she had a feeling that perhaps Qi Xingzhou was already there.
The mont the ssage was sent, Jiang Ning turned the doorknob to open the door and stuck out her head, spotting Qi Xingzhou standing in the corridor.
Qi Xingzhou wasn’t standing at Jiang Ning’s door but a few steps away, his gaze intently fixed on the wall, his expression serious, seemingly lost in thought.
In his hands, he was holding two clean, new thermal containers.
Hearing the door, Qi Xingzhou imdiately turned his head, and as their eyes t, the person who was a bit cool and distant a second ago lted like ice under the sun upon seeing Jiang Ning, warmth returning to his face.
“Jiang Ning, you’re up?” Qi Xingzhou imdiately stepped forward happily with breakfast in hand, his clear and clean eyes reflecting Jiang Ning’s figure.
Qi Xingzhou was unaware that his dramatically different deanor was akin to that of a large dog accidentally left outside by his owner; just a mont ago he might have appeared sowhat listless, but the very next second upon seeing his owner, his ears perk up and he excitedly bounces and dashes towards them, his tail wagging joyfully behind him.
If Qi Chen were to witness this scene, he would certainly remark: There, the silly little brother has gone dumb again.
“Why are you so early? When did you get here?” Jiang Ning looked up at him, then down at the breakfast in his hands, and hurriedly ushered him in.
“I told you yesterday I would bring you breakfast,” Qi Xingzhou said, not revealing to Jiang Ning that he’d been thinking about it all night and had woken up at 5:30 that morning.
His face was full of vitality, and he modestly added, “I just got here when you opened the door.”
Jiang Ning didn’t believe him; his ssage had been sent six minutes ago, and he had been standing outside for quite a while already.
“I was just moving around on the balcony and didn’t see my phone,” Jiang Ning volunteered an explanation. “Next ti don’t stand outside like a goof, just call .”
Qi Xingzhou nodded with a smile, obediently agreeing, “Okay.”
Once is a period of getting to know each other, twice is becoming familiar; Qi Xingzhou didn’t know how many tis he had been to Jiang Ning’s place by now, and he was very familiar with every table and chair here.
Qi Xingzhou walked straight to the dining table and opened the thermal containers he had been carrying.
Jiang Ning, also curious, leaned forward to see the breakfast that Qi Xingzhou had brought for her.
One of the thermal containers had three layers inside, and Qi Xingzhou’s first breakfast brought for Jiang Ning had a wide variety.
Probably unsure of Jiang Ning’s taste preferences, he’d filled six containers each with different contents: bone soup, stead buns, crystal jelly, as well as egg roll pancakes, tea eggs, and a bowl of freshly ground soy milk.
This amount, let alone one person, would be enough for three to eat.
Since it was kept in an insulated container, when Qi Xingzhou took it out now, it was still steaming hot.
“You brought so much?” Jiang Ning turned and ran into the kitchen to get chopsticks and bowls. “You haven’t eaten yet, have you? Let’s eat together!”
“Okay.” Qi Xingzhou wasn’t coy; he indeed hadn’t had breakfast.
While Jiang Ning went into the kitchen to fetch things, Qi Xingzhou pulled over two stools.
By now, he knew Jiang Ning’s ho furnishings even better than his own.
Jiang Ning had just gotten up not long ago and wasn’t hungry yet. After drinking a bowl of porridge and eating two shrimp dumplings and a stead bun, she put down her chopsticks and let Qi Xingzhou eat at his own pace.
While Jiang Ning was eating, Qi Xingzhou ate slowly. But after she put down her chopsticks, he no longer needed to deliberately slow down; he finished off the leftovers quickly and thoroughly.
Since both were using separate bowls and chopsticks, Jiang Ning didn’t think much of it, but she was surprised by Qi Xingzhou’s hearty appetite in the morning.
But what she didn’t know was that if those three from the Qi Family were to see Qi Xingzhou happily eating soone else’s leftovers, they would definitely be shocked!
Because in the entire Qi Family, no one was more fastidious than Qi Xingzhou!
Every al had to be served separately for him. The idea of Qi Xingzhou eating what others had left behind was absolutely impossible!
After they had finished, Qi Xingzhou even took the initiative to clean up the bowls and chopsticks.
Jiang Ning quickly stopped him, “Leave it, I’ll do it… I can do it.”
After all, Qi Xingzhou had brought over the breakfast.
To let him clean up afterwards seed a bit inconsiderate.
“You sit down, you have an injury on your arm, I can do it.” Qi Xingzhou continued with his task and even said with earnest and a bit of pride, “I learned how to wash dishes yesterday.”
It was the first ti soone boasted about knowing how to wash dishes in front of her.
Jiang Ning couldn’t help but snicker and no longer insisted, “Alright, then you do it.”
Qi Xingzhou took the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen and also brought the insulated container to clean it.
The layout of kitchens tends to be pretty similar; at most, the difference might lie in the decorative style and size of the space.
Qi Xingzhou put the items into the sink, turned up the water temperature, found the dishwashing soap and scrubber, rolled up his sleeves, and genuinely started to wash everything thoroughly.
A tall man of over one ter eighty, standing in front of the sink doing the chores earnestly, made the kitchen seem all the more cramped and small.
Qi Xingzhou, though dressed casually, appeared extrely refined to the average person.
The sight of a man who looked so refined and clean doing kitchen work seed incongruous, yet in Jiang Ning’s eyes, the scene felt unexpectedly warm and harmonious.
Two months ago, she never would have imagined that Little Young Master Qi would be willingly doing household chores in her kitchen.
But now, not only was he doing them, but he was also doing them proactively and with great expertise.
He cleaned the dishes and bowls spotlessly, the insulated container he had brought was left equally clean, and he even didn’t forget to wipe the table and the rims of the sink where water had splashed to spotlessness.
The movents were sowhat inexperienced, yet done with such patience and attention to detail that it was hard to find fault with any aspect; it was clear that he had put in a lot of effort beforehand.
Seeing him like this, even Jiang Ning couldn’t help but start to wonder.
The Qi Xingzhou of today felt a bit different than usual, didn’t he?
There was a feeling like a little fool had suddenly beco wise.
