Chapter 38: This lifetime, don't even think about fame and fortune

  In the past, Qin Nian Ge had never let Lan Niang see their intimate scenes, and she felt very ashamed of it.

  If Aunt Lan saw her lying in Li Xue's arms directly, she would really be able to die.

  Lijun stretched out his hand and put her back in front of his chest, opening his mouth impatiently: "It's just sending a meal, what are you being awkward about?"

  Qin Nian Ge's face turned red as he shook his head. Usually obedient and well-behaved, this time he was unusually persistent: "No... I, I want to go out and eat by myself."

  Lian Yi's eyes snapped open in anger, but when his gaze met her blushing face, he couldn't help but curve up a smile: "What? Are you shy? Afraid that Lan aunt will know?"

  Qin Nian Ge was taken aback by his straightforward words and suddenly trembled, heavily lowering her head.

  Lijiao Ying picked up her chin unyieldingly and reminded in a low voice, "Unfortunately, even if you don't go out, Lan Aunt will definitely know what we did... I've been in your room for two hours, if she didn't know, how could it be possible that she hasn't called us to eat yet?"

  "Don't say that..." Qin Nian Ge rarely dared to directly cover his mouth with her small hand, but Li Xue Yue opened his mouth and lightly licked the palm of her hand with the tip of his tongue.

  "Ah——" Qin Nian Ge let out a loud cry of surprise, quickly withdrawing her hand, her face already burning hot enough to cook an egg.

  Lian Ying stretched out his hand and gently stroked her face, with a hint of a smile on his lips as he spoke to her: "You were so passionate when you did it, how can you pretend to be so innocent in the blink of an eye?"

  Qin Nian Ge's heart skipped a few beats at his words, and her face turned slightly pale for a moment.

  But Li Xueying did not, as usual, follow up with a string of unpleasant words.

  He narrowed his eyes again and actually let her go, getting up directly from the bed: "Okay, it's rare that I'm in a good mood, no trouble for Aunt Lan, I'll go get the meal."

  As he spoke, he walked to the door of the closet, opened it, and directly took out a robe for himself from inside, lazily putting it on.

  Qin Nian Ge thought of Lan Yi seeing him getting food for himself and still felt a bit awkward: "Still... it's still me..."

  Lian Yi chuckled and looked at her with a hint of teasing in his eyes: "What? You actually have the nerve to go out and eat right under Lanzhi's watchful eye?"

  At his reminder, Qin Nian's whole body suddenly stiffened.

  Yes, after going through this kind of thing, she really couldn't eat in front of Lan's mother as if nothing had happened.

  Qin Niange rubbed her growling stomach and finally looked at Li Xueyi with a defeated expression: "That... bother brother."

  Lai Yueying coldly snorted and said bluntly, "Indeed, it's a huge hassle... It seems that in the future, the main building should arrange for two other servants to be on duty, otherwise I would have to personally go down to serve meals all the time?"

  Hearing his implicit meaning, Qin Nian Ge's face couldn't help but flush again, and she directly buried her face deep into the quilt.

  Will it always be like this from now on?

  She really felt like she would never get used to it.

  Because Aunt Lan had already prepared dinner, Li Xueying didn't go out for long and came back in with a tray of food.

  Qin Nian Ge had already put on a thick robe while he was out, so facing him now made her feel much more at ease.

  But despite this, the marks he left on her body were still so obvious that Qin Nian Ge couldn't help but stiffen all over when he approached her.

  Li Xue put the dinner plate on the table and refused to move her hands again, directly raising her chin at Qin Nian Ge and saying: "Bring everything out and set it properly."

  Qin Nian Ge rested for a while and his physical strength recovered somewhat, of course he could still hold a bowl.

  So she quickly arranged all the dishes on her plate under Lai Rongyi's gaze.

  There was only one desk in front of the bookcase. When placing bowls and chopsticks, Qin Nian Ge naturally sat on it.

  But it wasn't until she had arranged all the dishes that she suddenly realized that Li Xueyan was still standing beside her.

  Looking at the bowls and chopsticks on the table, it was clear that there were two sets. Qin Nian understood that he also wanted to eat with her, so she stood up from her seat somewhat awkwardly: "Xuan Yi-ge, you sit down."

  Li Xue raised an eyebrow and directly continued without being polite, then...he actually pulled her onto his lap.

  Qin Nian Ge was startled and subconsciously wanted to stand up, but Li Xue Yi had already tightly wrapped his arms around her waist.

  "Brother Yuanye——" Qin Nian Ge couldn't help but exclaim.

  Lijiao Yi pressed her onto his knee and responded casually: "Just eat like this."

  Qin Nian Ge's breathing paused, and she spoke in a low voice: "In that case... the two of us will eat, but that would be inconvenient for him."

  Lian Ying leaned forward, her sturdy chest tightly pressed against her back: "This... isn't very convenient."

  He picked up the chopsticks, but soon threw them back onto the plate and bowed his head to Qin Nian Ge with a sly smile: "Yesterday I fed you, today it's your turn to repay me."

  "Ah?" Qin Nian Ge's eyes widened in surprise.

  Lian Ying's eyes narrowed slightly, and he lowered his head to kiss her lips heavily before raising his head again to continue: "I said, let you feed me dinner."

  A man in his twenties makes such a childish request without blushing, but instead looks self-satisfied. Qin Nian Ge couldn't help but admire his thick skin.

  However, she didn't dare to say the evaluation of "thick-skinned" out loud, and could only purse her lips, obediently pick up a piece of perfectly cooked beef, and pass it back to him.

  Li Yī lowered his head and took a bite of the beef into his mouth, but instead he used a small spoon to scoop up a mouthful of rice.

  Qin Nian Ge's face turned red, and she picked up another walnut to put in her mouth. Thinking that the two of them were intimate enough to share a pair of chopsticks, her heart couldn't help but feel a wave of sweetness.

  However, just as this sweet ripple had spread halfway, she couldn't help but secretly scold herself in her heart.

  It's just having dinner together, how can you be so spineless!

  However, Li Xue clearly wasn't prepared to just eat, and after swallowing the food in his mouth, his next move was to lean over and snatch a piece of crispy meat that Qin Nian Ge had just put into her own mouth.

  "Ah——" Qin Nian Ge exclaimed, the red flush on her face had already unconsciously spread to her ears, and she almost directly bounced up from his body.

  "Gege!" Her tone was unintentionally tinged with a hint of reproach.

  Leth Wing shrugged indifferently: "Who made you not feed me on time."

  Hearing him say this, it was as if he had shifted the blame onto her.

  Qin Nian Ge sat in front of him, flustered, and hastily picked up another shrimp ball, stuffed it into his mouth, and then almost didn't dare to eat again herself. She just focused on watching when he would finish eating, and hurriedly stuffed something into his mouth again, fearing that he would find an excuse to do something to her.

  But in such a situation, Li Xue actually also has the ability to find fault.

  He took another bite of the shrimp ball handed over by Qin Nian Ge, and Li Xue's eyebrows furrowed in dissatisfaction. "What's going on with today's cashew shrimp balls? They don't seem to taste as good as before."

  However, Qin Nian Ge's eyes sparkled unconsciously after hearing him say that, and she blushed and spoke in a low voice: "The dish we usually have... is made by me. Today it's not me."

  Lian Yi heard her words and couldn't help but lower his head in surprise: "You can still cook?"

  Qin Nian Ge nodded, this subtle feeling that made Lei Xue Yi understand her a little better made her unconsciously lower her voice: "Mmm... learned a bit from Lan aunt when I was bored."

  Lai Yue narrowed his eyes and ordered bluntly: "Anyway, you don't have to go to school now, so learn more if you have nothing better to do, and cook for me."

  Qin Nian Ge didn't feel a single bit of resentment at being ordered around, instead, a sweet feeling arose in her heart.

  She didn't answer, just nodded lightly, but the slightly red ear tips revealed her thoughts, making Lian Yiwu's heart feel a great joy.

  Two people rarely had a peaceful and sweet dinner together, Qin Nian Ge wanted to put away the bowls and chopsticks, but was suddenly hugged by Li Heng Yi and placed back on the soft big bed.

  Lai Yue also lay down beside her with a straight face and closed his eyes lazily, embracing her.

  Seeing him like this, Qin Nian Ge hesitated for a moment before asking: "Yu Yi Ge, aren't you going back to your room?"

  Lai Yue gave her a slanted glance and lazily responded with a "Mm-hm."

  Hearing his response, Qin Nian Ge felt somewhat unaccustomed but still reluctantly closed her mouth.

  Two people finally got a peaceful time, she really couldn't bear to break it like this.

  But some things are hard to control by human will.

  Lijiao Ying had just held her and slept for a while when he suddenly asked: "Has Xu Yun Chuan told you about the school yet?"

  Qin Nian nodded slowly in response to his inquiry: "Yeah, it's been mentioned."

  Lai Ruiyi didn't open his eyes, but Qin Niange could still feel that whenever this topic was brought up, the oppressive feeling he gave off became much stronger: "So have you decided which school to go to yet?"

  Qin Nian softly shook her head, her hands unconsciously clutching the fabric in front of her tightly.

  It wasn't until Lai Yue opened his eyes that she realized the fabric she was clutching was actually Lai Yue's pajamas.
