Chapter 155: So Happy
"How old are you, young man, and what do you do for work? How long have you known Qian?" The chubby aunt looked at Yu Minglang with eyes gleaming green; with this information, she had enough gossip for days.
Yu Minglang answered with a smile, seeing that Qian intended to continue chatting, she pushed him, "Go check if the water on the stove is boiling."
Once Yu Minglang left, the chubby aunt faced Qian’s serious expression and couldn’t continue the conversation, leaving in a hurry.
Qian went to the kitchen to find Yu Minglang, only to see him squatting by the stove, sneaking a bite of the buns he brought. Qian smacked him on the back, and Yu Minglang almost choked.
"What are you doing? There’re plenty of buns!"
"Who said anything about buns! Do you know who that was? Are you close with her?"
"Mei, don’t tell me you’re jealous over something like this?"
"Jealous my foot! That’s the biggest gossip on our street! You told her so much!"
"That’s why I chose to say nice things; rest assured, whatever she spreads will be positive news."
From the gossiping look in that aunt’s eyes, her dry mouth corners, and abundant saliva, Yu Minglang had already analyzed that she was a chatterbox.
A perfect opportunity to spread the news that Chen Xiaoqian is taken, to keep others from having ideas.
Qian wanted to hit him again; this guy was definitely doing it on purpose!
Just then, Jia Xiufang returned; hearing the door, Yu Minglang quickly wiped the oil from his mouth, as if he wasn’t the one sneaking buns just now.
"What are you two sneaking in the kitchen for, Chen Xiaoqian, eating buns without washing your face? Go wash up!"
Qian glared at the real culprit, the shameless guy!
"Auntie, I’m fetching water for Qian." Yu Minglang smiled warmly.
He began to look for the basin, and Qian kicked him on the butt. Jia Xiufang saw and immediately smacked Qian on the head, "Stop bullying honest Minglang!"
"Auntie, it’s fine, as long as she’s happy."
Qian gritted her teeth in anger, thinking, Yu Minglang, just you wait!
After breakfast, before Yu Minglang could speak, Jia Xiufang spoke first.
"Qian’er, go out shopping with Minglang and come back early today, don’t stay out as late as yesterday."
"Don’t worry, Auntie, we’ll be back after having dinner and strolling the night market," Yu Minglang quickly answered, pulling Qian out the door without stopping.
Once they were gone, Jia Xiufang mused to herself.
"This kid, a bit too honest, straight to after dinner..."
Qian got into the car, immediately pinched his waist, "You shameless! I’ve put up with you for too long!"
"Don’t hold back. Once we’re there, you can hit me all you want."
Yu Minglang winked at Qian, making her blush.
Even combined from past lives, she wasn’t as thick-skinned as Yu Minglang. She lost...
"Where are we going? Yu Minglang, if you haven’t got Alzheimer’s, you should know that we’ve only been apart for a few hours, and I haven’t slept well!"
Disrupting a woman’s sleep is the most unforgivable sin in the world, bar none!
"Go sleep at my place." Afraid she’d hit him, Yu Minglang added, "We’ll sleep separately, not together."
"Is your brain waterlogged? I sleep perfectly fine at my own place, why would I go to yours?"
Sometimes he handles things so well, and sometimes he’s so clueless? Does his brain work differently?
"I just want to watch you sleep... Mei, I don’t know how long it’ll be before I see you again after I go back."
Qian was amused by his nonsense, "Are you saying goodbye to my remains? Making it sound like palliative care, seeing is losing."
"Don’t say such unlucky things, it’s 6 o’clock now, I’ll let you sleep till 12, then we get up to eat and continue our date!"
Yu Minglang was very committed to the idea of a date.
They didn’t get to have one yesterday, and today he was determined to have one.
"Actually, we—" Qian wanted to say there was plenty of time, but seeing his face of a man lost in love, she couldn’t get the words out.
"I’ll take the bed, you sleep on the floor. Cross the line and I’ll kill you!"
"I can sleep on the floor?" Yu Minglang’s eyes lit up, feeling like he got a great deal.
He had thought he would be sleeping on the couch.
Seeing him so happy, Qian’s lips curled up as well.
She initially wanted to tease him, keep him wanting for a bit, but with him acting like this, she couldn’t bring herself to.
When they got to his place, Yu Minglang hummed a tune while making the bed; his bed was big and particularly clean.
After Yu Minglang finished setting up, seeing him seriously prepare to sleep on the floor, Qian, considering it was already October and there was no heating, pulled on his arm and nodded at the bed with her chin.
Yu Minglang felt like he won the lottery, not only could he stay in one room, but they could share a bed?
"The middle is the boundary, dare to cross it, and I’ll slap you, got it?"
"Yes, ma’am!" He immediately wanted to get on, only to be kicked off by Qian, "Go take a shower!"
Qian lay on his pillow and actually felt particularly at ease; Yu Minglang’s bed and pillow had left no scent, not even of cleaning products, yet it felt even more comforting than her own fragrant little bed. Thinking of him humming in the shower made her smile lightly as she closed her eyes.
Yu Minglang showered quickly, coming out to find Qian already a sleeping beauty. As he dried his hair, he watched, parched, and grabbed his camera. Wanting to capture her sleeping face, he raised it just as Qian opened her eyes.
"What are you doing, violating my portrait rights?"
"First time sleeping together memory."
"Get lost, no pictures!" Qian snatched his camera, leaving Yu Minglang a bit regretful.
Freshly showered, Yu Minglang wore shorts and a tank top, hair damp, showing off his toned arms and long hairy legs, making Qian’s gaze darken slightly.
He’s just clueless; any man with some sense would use his physique to flirt, but this guy just comes out in the tank top he got from playing basketball, and yet you could still see his muscles. The tank was snug, accentuating his abs and V-line teasingly.
Yu Minglang got into bed, lying on the outside while she lay on the inside, with a big gap in between, his back to her.
Qian fiddled with his camera, a DSLR nonetheless.
Yu Minglang turned around, seeing her playing with the camera, "My big brother bought that for me."
"Mm, your big brother treats you well."
When leaving the other day, big brother gave her a packet of tea, plainly wrapped but Qian knew it wasn’t cheap; Mr. Yu had no faults with his brothers.
"Hey, come here." Qian crooked her finger.
Yu Minglang actually turned his head, "Keep your distance."
He was afraid if he got close, he couldn’t control himself.
"Don’t you want a picture?"
He immediately sat up straight, like he got a shot of adrenaline, set the camera on the bedside for a timer, and sat quickly next to Qian.
So happy, their first photo together was born!
