CHAPTER 100: CHAPTER 100 AGREEMENT

Looking at the mockery in the live stream’s bullet comments, Su Yi didn’t feel the slightest bit embarrassed. Instead, she was rather smug.

"What do you people know? This delivery guy is no ordinary delivery guy!"

Hearing this, the audience grew very curious.

"Not ordinary? How is he not ordinary?"

"Aren’t they all just guys?"

"They all have two arms and one head. Don’t tell me he has an extra one?"

"If there’s something special, just spit it out!"

...

Facing the barrage of questions, Su Yi remained mysterious. "You’ll all find out tomorrow. That’s it for today’s stream. I need to get a good night’s sleep so I can greet the delivery guy tomorrow in my most beautiful state."

After a final wave of reluctant comments, Su Yi ended the stream.

「The next morning.」

A sleeping Xia Liang and Luu Qi were woken up. Xi Yiqian had already prepared breakfast: sandwiches, fried eggs, and milk. The sandwiches were something she had learned to make from a breakfast book that very morning. She had tried making one for herself first, and after tasting it, she was relieved that it turned out quite well before making them for the other two.

Having finished washing up, Xia Liang and Luu Qi returned to the dining table.

"Wow!" Seeing the Western-style breakfast on the table, Luu Qi couldn’t help but praise her. "Sister Yiqian, you’re truly multi-talented! You can make Chinese breakfast and Western breakfast. This is amazing."

Hearing the praise, Xi Yiqian’s face flushed. She quickly waved her hands in dismissal. "No, no... I just learned this today. I was afraid you’d get tired of having porridge every day, so I wanted to learn something new. Go on, try it!" she said, looking at them expectantly.

Xia Liang didn’t waste time and took a bite. "Mm, not bad," he said, nodding in satisfaction.

Seeing their appreciative expressions, Xi Yiqian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although she thought it was delicious, she cared more about what Xia Liang and Luu Qi thought.

After breakfast, the three of them left the house. Xia Liang first dropped Luu Qi and Xi Yiqian off at school and the hotel, respectively. Then, he drove to Qingxue’s apartment building and dialed her number.

"Hello! Xia Liang." Qingxue was clearly thrilled to receive his call.

Xia Liang got out of the car and looked up at Qingxue’s floor. "I’m downstairs. When are you coming down?"

Qingxue thought for a moment; she still needed a fair bit of time. "I’m still getting ready. My parents have already left for work, and I haven’t even put on my makeup yet. Why don’t you come up?"

"Okay," Xia Liang agreed readily and ended the call.

After a moment’s thought, he went to a nearby breakfast shop and bought a serving of black rice porridge and some soup dumplings before heading upstairs with them.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK...

Xia Liang knocked on the door, and he soon heard Qingxue’s cheerful voice from inside. "Coming!"

The door opened to reveal Qingxue standing there in a pair of pink Hello Kitty pajamas. Her hands were still damp, and it looked like she had just been washing her face. She looked indescribably cute.

Xia Liang held up the breakfast. "I didn’t know what you like to eat, so I just got you some porridge and soup dumplings."

Seeing Xia Liang bring her breakfast was an unprecedented event, and the smile on Qingxue’s face grew even brighter. Has this guy finally come to his senses today? Not only did he come to pick me up, but he even bought breakfast. Is this finally the sweet after the bitter? Have I finally moved his heart?

Just as Qingxue was at a loss for words, Xia Liang started staring at her intently. Qingxue instantly turned shy. Has this blockhead finally noticed my charm today?

"You didn’t wash your face clean. It looks like you still have some eye gunk."

...

!!!!!

Qingxue’s smile froze. That’s not eye gunk! I was planning to do a glitter makeup look! It’s called glitter eyeshadow!

She stomped her foot in frustration, momentarily speechless. "Humph!" she huffed, turning around and marching back into the bathroom.

Xia Liang was completely baffled. What’s with her? I was just giving her a friendly reminder. Why did she suddenly get angry? If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t have even bothered pointing it out. She doesn’t appreciate a kind heart.

Not bothering to ask, he simply walked into the apartment. He went into the living room and placed the breakfast on the table. "I put your breakfast down. Come eat it quickly before it gets cold."

Hearing him, Qingxue’s initial impulse was to ignore him. But, on the grounds that he was completely clueless, she replied anyway. "Got it."

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she grumbled, "Stupid Xia Liang, you don’t understand anything. To think I spent so long learning how to do a glitter makeup look to dazzle you, and you call it eye gunk."

Despite her complaints, Qingxue wiped off the makeup she had just applied. In her mind, she had put it on for Xia Liang to see. If he didn’t like it, there was no point in wearing it. She quickly applied some light makeup, changed into an outfit she liked, and finally came out of her room.

Xia Liang looked up and nodded in approval. "See? Now that you’ve wiped off the eye gunk, you look much better, don’t you?"

Qingxue didn’t argue, merely rolling her eyes at him. She walked over and sat down beside him, picked up the porridge from the table, and took a sip. "It’s cold."

"So fast?" Xia Liang muttered.

"Yeah. Try it if you don’t believe me," Qingxue said, nodding and holding the straw up to his lips.

Xia Liang didn’t think twice and took a sip. "It really is cold. This is all your fault for taking so long with your makeup. Now it’s cold. Forget it, let’s just go eat at the shop... Hmm? Why is your face red?" he asked, looking at Qingxue’s suddenly flushed cheeks with confusion.

Qingxue quickly shook her head. Am I supposed to tell him I’m blushing because we just shared a straw and it made me think of an indirect kiss? Not even bothering to react to his jab about her makeup speed, she said hurriedly, "It’s... it’s nothing... Let’s go."

With that, she stood up.

"Alright." Since Qingxue wouldn’t say, Xia Liang didn’t press the matter.

Qingxue locked the door, her expression finally returning to normal. "Let’s go!"

After taking Qingxue out for breakfast, Xia Liang dropped her off at the coffee shop. As she got out of the car, she glanced at him and couldn’t help but ask with a hopeful tone, "Will you come to pick me up this afternoon?"

It was the same question Shi Yan had asked him yesterday, and now Qingxue was asking it today. He immediately nodded with a serious expression. "Of course, I can."

"Huh?" A flicker of surprise lit up Qingxue’s eyes, but it didn’t last long.

Xia Liang spoke again, "However, having me as your personal driver is very expensive."

"Humph! I knew it!" Qingxue stomped her foot in anger. And here she was, hoping he would actually say something nice for once.

She turned and walked into the coffee shop. Just as she reached the door, she couldn’t stop herself from calling out a warning. "Be careful on the road." Her voice was laced with a cute pout. Without waiting for his reply, she disappeared inside.

Alright, the morning’s tasks are done. Now I can go spend time with my sweetheart, Xia Liang thought to himself. He stretched and started driving toward Youlan Community.
