Chapter 248: Chapter 248 Really Delicious Chapter 248: Chapter 248 Really Delicious Qiao Qingyu stretched out her hand to grab He Xiuyu’s collar and pulled him towards herself, her usually crisp voice slightly hoarse, her eyes shining with a different kind of luster, “Mm, happy.”
He Xiuyu’s eyes darkened, perhaps in so areas, n truly could be self-taught.
Moreover, he wasn’t about to give Qiao Qingyu any chance to hesitate!
…
Qiao Qingyu had a dream last night, where she dread of herself turning into a green radish, peeled and chopped into pieces by He Xiuyu, who then stewed her into a soup, and the He Xiuyu in her dream said— “You’re really tasty.”
The dream scared Qiao Qingyu awake.
In He Xiuyu’s arms, she then saw a large, handso face intently watching her.
Seeing Qiao Qingyu wake up and impatient to speak, He Xiuyu lowered his head and once again they were locked in a passionate embrace.
Half-asleep and half-awake, the alarm clock rang, and the sky was faintly brightening.
A new day had begun.
Unexpectedly, it had started to snow heavily outside.
They say good snow promises a good harvest.
It seed like this year would be a bountiful one.
He Xiuyu had great stamina, and upon waking up went for a run in the morning, returned ho to sweep the yard and make breakfast, and by the ti he went out with Rongrong, Qiao Qingyu was still sleeping, dazed and confused.
She was very tired, her entire body aching.
Worried, He Xiuyu sent Rongrong off and returned ho, heated up a large basin of hot water for Qiao Qingyu, woke her up, and tended to her while she washed and ate her breakfast.
Qiao Qingyu was shy, truly, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she felt bashful at this mont, especially with just the two of them at ho.
So they say, this is the punishnt for acting on impulse.
She urged He Xiuyu, “Go to work, I’ll sleep a bit more.”
She was indeed sleepy, and yawned while she spoke.
“Mm, I’ll co back early tonight,” He Xiuyu said softly.
Lifting her eyelids, Qiao Qingyu uttered a faint sound of affirmation and then closed her eyes and fell back asleep.
He Xiuyu tiptoed around to tidy up before heading off to work.
Shen Haoze watched He Xiuyu with a suspicious gaze all morning.
At lunch, without waiting to ask anything, the man had disappeared.
After much questioning, they found out He Xiuyu went to the cafeteria to get food and headed back ho.
Ah, he went ho!
Only then did Shen Haoze realize the exceedingly good mood He Xiuyu was in.
His eyes and brows carried a spring-like warmth, his steps light, occasionally spacing out, and then, while walking to the laboratory, he even whistled a tune.
It was the first ti he had seen him so joyful.
Could it be…
No way!
Shen Haoze felt like he had grasped at so kind of truth.
anwhile, Qiao Qingyu eating her al found it unbelievable yet sowhat annoyed, looking at He Xiuyu sitting opposite her and eating, she said in a mocking tone, “Wow, just after one night, the service has improved, and you even know to get food from the cafeteria. This is my first ti eating your cafeteria’s food.”
He Xiuyu’s handso face blushed slightly as he said in a low voice, “Talk properly.”
“Isn’t it just after one night?”
Qiao Qingyu raised an eyebrow and asked him.
He Xiuyu’s eyes subtly dimd, and without making a sound, he mouthed four words.
Qiao Qingyu got it in a second and nearly flipped her bowl onto He Xiuyu’s head.
When it ca to flirting, she was no match for He Xiuyu.
He Xiuyu saw that Qiao Qingyu had cald down and then tenderly said, “I was worried about you sleeping all day without eating, and besides, is the food in the cafeteria good?”
Qiao Qingyu replied, “The communal al is delicious.”
It was a fresh experience the first ti.
“Since I was ten years old, the al I’ve eaten the most is the cafeteria’s communal al, I never found it tasty, but you seem to have a good appetite.”
Qiao Qingyu had just made a casual remark.
Yet, when she heard He Xiuyu say this, thinking of his experiences, she indeed felt a twinge of heartache, “I’ll make you sothing delicious tonight.”
He Xiuyu hadn’t expected this bonus, and of course, he wasn’t vulgar enough to say he only wanted to eat her, but his eyes conveyed that ssage.
…
When it was ti to go back to work in the afternoon, Shen Haoze went to knock on He Xiuyu’s office door.
Unexpectedly, the guy wasn’t in the office, and Shen Haoze had no idea where he had gone, which was quite disappointing.
He had no other intention; he just wanted to verify if his thoughts were accurate.
But then, he ran into Su Yunyao outside.
These days, he had been avoiding her because he didn’t know how to face her.
In his heart, Su Yunyao was clever, stunning, and generous, a girl who dared to love and hate. Maybe she had this or that little flaw, but morally, she shouldn’t have any blemishes.
Yet she had hit Shen Haoze’s biggest taboo.
So it wasn’t that Shen Haoze found Su Yunyao annoying; he just found himself revolting.
He detested how his so-called love could vanish in an instant, and he scorned himself for the man who swore to wait for Su Yunyao to change her mind, to wait for her to give up on He Xiuyu.
Sadly, he had stopped liking her even before she had a change of heart.
Thus, the current Shen Haoze was quite conflicted.
When Su Yunyao saw Shen Haoze turn to leave, she, irritated, arched an eyebrow, quickened her steps, and caught up with Shen Haoze, her voice carrying a chill, “We work at the sa place, where could you possibly hide from ?”
“I’m not hiding from you, why would I?”
“Then why do you turn away whenever you see ?”
“That’s because I was going sowhere else.”
“Forget it, Shen Haoze, we grew up together since we were kids. Don’t I know what kind of person you are?”
Shen Haoze stopped, his expression returning to calm, and he looked deeply into Su Yunyao’s eyes, asking indifferently, “Then tell , what kind of person am I?”
A sneer played at the corner of Su Yunyao’s lips, but her mind drifted to the events of her past life, where in the autumn of that year, Shen Haoze had left the world due to a lab explosion.
He had died trying to save He Xiuyu.
She had never understood why he did that.
Was the bond of brotherhood really so significant, significant enough to outweigh his own life?
That’s why for a long ti, she had revered Shen Haoze.
And in this lifeti, she still felt the sa.
But ever since her plagiarism was publicly apologized for, Shen Haoze changed suddenly, and now Su Yunyao finally realized that Shen Haoze was indeed a person with moral fastidiousness.
“Shen Haoze, you’re good in so many ways, but it’s a pity that there’s one thing that makes you quite disagreeable.”
Shen Haoze didn’t know what about him was disagreeable, and he quietly waited for her to continue.
But Su Yunyao suddenly lost interest in saying anything more; she didn’t want to speak further. After all, she had always just thought of Shen Haoze as the brother next door she grew up with, and actually, that was really quite nice.
Su Yunyao smiled, lifted her head, and turned to leave.
Yet, deep down, she still felt uncomfortable.
Shen Haoze stood still in the sa spot for a long ti, fine snowflakes settling on him. So lted quickly, while others landed on the ground.
He thought that next year the base would probably beco a different place altogether.
…
Indeed, He Xiuyu finished work very early in the evening and also brought Rongrong back with him.
