Oh no, the aloof school beauty has been reborn too!

When it was their turn, Lu Xing spoke:

"Two bamboo shoot and pork buns, one tea egg, and one cup of soy milk."

After paying, Lu Xing took the breakfast and stood aside, looking at Shen Qingyi.

The girl had already taken a small step forward, her voice soft and gentle:

"A pork bun, a tea egg, and a cup of soy milk."

Lu Xing then casually picked up Shen Qingyi's soy milk and tea eggs as well.

The girl didn't try to take it from him.

She simply stood beside him, gently shaking the bag of steamed buns in her hand.

"Lu, my classmate~"

"Um?"

"I've noticed you're getting more and more skilled."

Lu Xing didn't react for a moment:

"Proficient in what?"

Shen Qingyi looked at the breakfast he was carrying, a smile hidden in her eyes:

"Hmph, of course it's taking care of my girlfriend."

Lu Xing paused slightly.

He pursed his lips, trying to pretend he wasn't affected.

"Isn't this... just something I did?"

Shen Qingyi gave a soft hum.

"Oh, so it was just something I did on a whim..."

Lu Xing immediately realized that something was wrong with what he said.

He tried to make amends, but the girl had already taken two steps forward, giving him no chance to explain.

Lu Xing stood still for half a second.

No.

Why do I feel like I've gotten myself into this mess again?

He glanced down at the breakfast in his hand, and finally had no choice but to follow.

Forget it.

A good man doesn't argue with a woman...

The two of them, as usual, did not go to crowded places.

Lu Xing followed the girl around the rows of tables and chairs in the middle and sat down in a corner.

Shen Qingyi sat down opposite him, placed her schoolbag on the chair next to her, and then inserted the straw into the soy milk.

She had just taken a small sip when her gaze fell on the bamboo shoot and pork bun in front of Lu Xing.

Lu Xing doesn't like to eat scallions.

When the two of them eat together, he always avoids the dishes if there are scallions in them.

When drinking soup, he is the only one who will use a spoon to skim the scallions floating on top to the side of the bowl before drinking it.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingyi couldn't help but smile.

Lu Xing was looking down as he took out a tea egg from his bag.

He had just prepared to peel the shell when he heard a girl's laughing voice from across the room:

"You..."

"Like a child, I don't like eating scallions."

Lu Xing paused in his movements.

He raised his head and looked at Shen Qingyi:

How did you know I don't like scallions?

This question was asked almost subconsciously.

Shen Qingyi was not flustered at all.

She stretched out her finger and gently tapped the bamboo shoot and pork bun next to him.

"Isn't it obvious?"

Lu Xing followed her movement and looked down at the steamed bun.

Fresh meat buns are also known as scallion and pork buns, while bamboo shoot and pork buns do not contain scallions.

Shen Qingyi added slowly:

"Besides, I've noticed that you never touch scallions on your own initiative."

Lu Xing was taken aback.

Shen Qingyi rested her chin on her hand, her tone light, yet her words were firm:

"Sometimes when you're drinking soup, even if there's only a tiny bit of scallion, you'll deliberately skim it off to the side of the bowl."

"And he pretended he was just stirring it around casually."

Lu Xing: "..."

The girl guessed everything correctly.

Lu Xing held the tea egg, remained silent for a moment, and finally gave a bitter smile:

"You seem to have figured me out completely."

Shen Qingyi didn't rush to eat the steamed buns.

She put the soy milk back on the table, propped her chin up with one hand, and looked at him with a smile.

"Hmph..."

She gently raised her chin, with a touch of playfulness:

Who do you think I am?

Looking at her smug little face, Lu Xing's heart beat a little faster again.

If you figure it out, then you figure it out.

This also shows that the girl's gaze always belongs to herself, doesn't it?

Lu Xing handed over the peeled tea egg, his tone smiling:

"You are the beautiful school beauty, Shen Qingyi."

The girl paused for a moment as she caught the egg, her cheeks flushing slightly.

Although she's usually the one teasing him.

However, Lu Xing's occasional blunt remark could catch her off guard.

Shen Qingyi lowered her eyelashes, but couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile.

She took the tea egg, her voice much softer than before:

"wrong."

Lu Xing looked up at her.

Shen Qingyi held the peeled tea egg and earnestly corrected him:

"She's your girlfriend, Shen Qingyi."

Lu Xing's previously composed expression instantly crumbled.

Shen Qingyi seemed oblivious to his lapse in speech, and took a bite of a tea egg.

The egg whites were infused with the aroma of tea and savory sauce, but the taste was actually quite ordinary.

But because it was peeled by land, it seemed to taste a little better than usual.

After she swallowed, she looked up at him and softly added:

"Besides, we've eaten together so many times."

Lu Xing's Adam's apple bobbed.

He silently lowered his head and picked up his tea egg.

Let me peel an egg to calm down first.

Otherwise, if Shen Qingyi continued to play him like this, he felt he wouldn't even need to eat breakfast.

Lu Xing tapped the eggshell, head down, looking very serious.

But that's not what I'm thinking at all.

No...

It can't go on like this!

From the moment they met in the morning, he had been led around by Shen Qingyi.

Who can stand this?

Lu Xing thought about it more and more and felt that he could no longer sit idly by and wait for his death.

He's her boyfriend, he can't always be flustered by her flirting, can he?

He had to find a chance to get his revenge, and he wanted to see the girl panicked.

Ideally, you should make her blush so much she can't speak, so she can experience what it means for her brain to shut down.

Jie Jie Jie...

As Lu Xing thought of this, his hands became much smoother when peeling the eggs.

Meanwhile, Shen Qingyi, sitting opposite him, was quietly watching him while biting on a straw.

My vision gradually blurred, and my consciousness slowly faded...

I miss it so much.

------

When Shen Qingyi brought the last dish to the table, Lu Xing was already sitting at the table.

He was still wearing his work shirt.

The cuffs were rolled up to the forearms, and the tie was loosened a little.

He looked no different from usual.

But Shen Qingyi saw it immediately.

He seemed unhappy today, with a sullen expression on his face.

Shen Qingyi sat down opposite him, picked up her chopsticks, and looked at him for a while.

"husband."

"Um?"

The man looked up at her.

Shen Qingyi asked softly:

"What's wrong with you?"

Lu Xing paused for a moment as he picked up some food.

"Nothing's wrong."

"But you don't seem very happy."

Lu Xing paused for half a second, then quickly lowered his head and said naturally:

"The company has been quite busy lately, so I'm just a little tired, it's nothing."

Shen Qingyi simply looked at him quietly.

Lu Xing seemed to realize that this reason wasn't very convincing, so he added:

"It's really nothing, don't worry."

Shen Qingyi didn't expose him, she just softly said "Oh".

She knows Lu Xing too well.

He is not the type of person who brings work stress home.

No matter how troublesome things are at the company or how urgent the projects are, he only feels tired at most.

After showering, hold her close for a while, and she'll recover quickly.

But today was different. He wasn't tired; he seemed to be writhing over something.

Shen Qingyi acted as if she hadn't noticed anything, occasionally putting food on his plate and asking him if he wanted some soup.

Lu Xing responded to each of them, but he spoke less than usual.

After finishing his meal, Lu Xing took the initiative to clear the dishes and went into the kitchen.

Shen Qingyi sat at the dining table, watching his back, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

When Lu Xing finished washing the dishes and came out, she was already sitting on the sofa with a cushion in her arms.

The TV was on, but the volume wasn't high.

Shen Qingyi patted the seat next to her.

"Honey, come here."

Lu Xing paused for a moment, but still walked over and sat down next to her.

Shen Qingyi leaned closer naturally, resting her head on his shoulder, her voice soft:

"Was it really just because I was too tired from work today?"

Lu Xing: "..."

He didn't answer immediately.

Shen Qingyi looked up at him.

"Isn't that right?"

Lu Xing's Adam's apple bobbed, as if he wanted to continue pretending, or perhaps he was too ashamed to speak.

But Shen Qingyi didn't look away; she just stared at him quietly.

After a long while, Lu Xing finally looked away and muttered something under his breath:

"...It's nothing really."

Shen Qingyi blinked.

"Um?"

Lu Xing pursed his lips, his voice lowering slightly:

When I picked you up from school today...

Shen Qingyi's eyelashes fluttered slightly.

"and then?"

"I saw you come out with a male teacher..."

Lu Xing quickly added after saying this:

It's not that I don't believe you.

He seemed afraid she would misunderstand, so his tone became more serious:

"Of course I believe you."

"I am..."

He paused for a long time before finally saying somewhat awkwardly:

I'm feeling a little uncomfortable.

Shen Qingyi was taken aback.

Then, her eyes gradually curved into a smile.

So you were jealous.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lu Xing couldn't help but turn his head to look at her.

And just then, I saw the barely suppressed smile on her lips.

He suddenly felt somewhat helpless:

"What are you laughing at?"

Shen Qingyi immediately shook her head, but her tone still carried a hint of a smile:

"It's nothing~"

Lu Xing gave her a wry smile.

Shen Qingyi finally couldn't resist, reached out and hugged his arm, snuggling closer to him.

"That teacher is from the next class; we just happened to be having a meeting together today."

"He asked me about some student research projects along the way, so we walked together for a short while."

She looked up at him, her voice earnest yet gentle:

"He and I are just colleagues, we're not very familiar with each other."

Lu Xing said in a low voice:

"Yes, I know."

Shen Qingyi looked at him with a smile.

"You're still not happy knowing that?"

Lu Xing: "..."

He turned his face away and stopped talking.

Shen Qingyi felt incredibly soft-hearted seeing him pretending to be calm when he was clearly jealous.

In front of outsiders, Lu Xing has always appeared mature, steady, and reliable.

He can handle even the most difficult tasks at work calmly, which is why he was promoted to a leadership position.

But when it comes to her, those little emotions can't be hidden; they always quietly show up from the corners of her eyes and brows.

Shen Qingyi reached out and cupped his face, forcing him to look at her.

"Honey~"

"Um?"

"You look so cute when you're jealous."

Lu Xing's expression froze.

"...No, I didn't."

"have."

"No, there isn't one."

Shen Qingyi smiled even more happily.

She leaned in and kissed him on the lips.

"Okay, I know you believe me."

"But if you're unhappy, you can just tell me."

"We are husband and wife, not outsiders."

Lu Xing looked down at her, and the sullen emotion in his eyes finally dissipated.

"This is not..."

"I'm afraid you'll think it's childish."

Shen Qingyi did not let him off the hook.

She leaned against him and gently poked his chest with her fingertips.

The tone was both coaxing and teasing:

"To appease my jealous husband, Mr. Lu..."

Lu Xing's brow twitched slightly.

Shen Qingyi tilted her head back, a sly smile hidden in her eyes:

"How about I wear your favorite outfit tonight?"

Lu Xing finally couldn't hold back his emotions any longer.

He looked at her, and his ears turned noticeably redder.

"Shen Qingyi..."

"Um?"

"You did it on purpose."

Shen Qingyi smiled, her eyes crinkling.

"Yes."

She wasn't guilty at all; she even hugged his neck and gently shook him.

"So, do you like it or not?"

Lu Xing was silent for two seconds, then sighed softly.

Finally, he pressed his forehead against hers, his voice filled with undisguised indulgence:

"Yes, I like you."

Memories fade away slowly, like mist blown away by the wind.

------

Recalling the past, a layer of sadness inevitably appeared in Shen Qingyi's eyes.

fool.

He wears his heart on his sleeve.

Lu Xing swallowed the tea egg in one gulp, finally noticing her gaze, and looked up:

"Hmm...why are you staring at me like that?"

Shen Qingyi blinked, suppressing her emotions, her voice light and innocent:

"Watch my boyfriend eat breakfast."

Lu Xing: "..."

He silently lowered his head and took a deep sip of soy milk.

Strange, why does the soy milk taste so sweet today?
