CHAPTER 162: CHAPTER 145: YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, RIGHT?

Because of a sudden kiss, Qiao Yuxian clutched the seatbelt, staring blankly ahead, not saying a word the whole way.

When they arrived at Fenglin Villa, she tripped at the entrance.

She accidentally stepped on and broke Dou Jin’s newly bought toy.

Dou Jin jumped high in fright.

Zhaocai watched the pretty little princess leap into the air from the side, the whole dog frozen in place, not even wagging its tail.

This led to Qiao Yuxian holding Dou Jin and leading Zhaocai to the pet store to buy toys early the next morning.

Because she had stepped on its toy the day before.

This proud master spent the whole night crouched on the cat tree, refusing anyone, even the dog, from approaching.

Early in the morning, the dog was circling in the living room because it couldn’t reach Dou Jin, biting on Qiao Yuxian’s clothes to prevent her from leaving.

In the end, Qiao Yuxian lured it down with a can of food, put it in a cat bag, and took it to buy toys.

They bought all the toys available in the pet store.

Only after they returned did the cat master become happy and started acknowledging people again.

Then, with the approaching finals, Qiao Yuxian spent the whole day at home playing with the cat and the dog.

In the afternoon, she made small cakes and cookies, waiting for Gu Yanjing to come home to eat.

She also packed a few cans of cookies for Gu Yanjing to take to the office.

After finishing, she played with Zhaocai and Dou Jin in the living room.

Until Gu Yanjing got back.

She heard the car outside and immediately ran out.

Gu Yanjing got out of the car, just in time to see her running out of the villa.

She hopped down the steps and directly bumped into his embrace, arms wrapping around his neck.

Gu Yanjing hugged her.

Standing behind Gu Yanjing, Meng Yan was startled by the two of them.

He silently took two steps back, bowing his head in thought.

What’s going on? How did their relationship improve so much just after a business trip?

Did he miss something?

"No social engagements tonight?" Qiao Yuxian’s face was buried in his neck as she asked.

"No." Gu Yanjing saw she was lightly dressed, wrapped an arm around her waist, and carried her back into the villa.

Qiao Yuxian was placed at the entrance.

Gu Yanjing took off his coat.

Qiao Yuxian reached out to help him with his coat: "What about the day after tomorrow and the day after that? Any social engagements?"

Gu Yanjing, holding his coat, took her hand, leading her into the living room: "Also nothing, why?"

"Um..." Qiao Yuxian said, "Haven’t you heard of a tradition?"

Gu Yanjing looked at her.

Qiao Yuxian said, "Well, it’s not exactly a tradition, but it’s a process some dorms have."

Gu Yanjing gestured for her to continue speaking.

Qiao Yuxian was still a bit indirect: "In this dorm, if someone starts dating, the couple should treat the dorm mates to a meal. Have you heard of it?"

Gu Yanjing put down his coat and walked towards the bathroom: "No, I haven’t."

Qiao Yuxian thought he really hadn’t heard of it and followed him: "Do you know what I mean then?"

Gu Yanjing washed his hands without saying a word.

Qiao Yuxian walked up to him and asked again: "Do you know what I mean?"

Gu Yanjing kept his head down, still silent.

Realizing he was doing it on purpose, Qiao Yuxian grabbed his arm, shaking him vigorously.

But with such force, it was unclear if she was shaking him or herself.

Gu Yanjing barely moved, but she looked like a pendulum: "Hurry up and say you understand. Say it, say it now."

Gu Yanjing wiped his hands, then pressed her head and said: "I have time anytime."

Qiao Yuxian immediately stopped, smiled, and said: "How about the day after tomorrow?"

"Sure." Gu Yanjing led her back to the living room, "I’ll have Meng Yan book a place."

"Okay." Qiao Yuxian looped her arm through his, pulling him towards the sofa, "I made small cakes and cookies, try them."

Gu Yanjing sat on the sofa, looking at the delicate cakes and bear-shaped chocolate cookies on the coffee table: "Tired?"

"Not tired." Qiao Yuxian sat directly on the carpet on the other side of the coffee table, "I like cooking and baking. But I can’t do it every day, it gets tedious."

Gu Yanjing ate a piece of cookie.

Qiao Yuxian asked: "Is it okay?"

"Hmm."

Qiao Yuxian smiled, took one herself, and slowly chewed it.

Gu Yanjing looked at her and asked: "Let Meng Yan know your dorm mates’ preferences, so he can decide on a place."

"They’re not picky." Qiao Yuxian said, "Just choose an upscale place."

"Hmm." Gu Yanjing responded.

Qiao Yuxian took another piece of cake and said: "This dorm, since they started university in their freshman year, has always been three people. Each new term, even when there’s a reshuffling of dorms, it was never applied to this one. Until I came back after my gap year."
