    Chapter 25

    Xia Yize is a little unaccustomed to his new home. The little black sesame ball is exploring everywhere, making a rustling sound from time to time.

    Xia Yize has been staring at the ceiling for an hour, but he still can’t fall asleep. Will his brother be even more angry if he failed again this time?

    Qi Ge simply helped him clean up the kitchen in the evening and gave him some dishes. If it weren’t for Qi Ge, he really didn’t know what he would have done tonight and might have surrendered to his brother.

    He put the pillow on his head and played in his mind Qi Ge taking off his coat and slowly approaching in the car to help him press the injury on his face. The scenes made him feel warmer and more tormented at the same time.

    He was trying to catch Qi Ge, so why was he the one who couldn’t sleep now?

    He took a deep breath to brainwash himself. He could no longer be fooled by the scumbag. Even if Qi Ge was nice to him, he should be punished if he scumbags Qingqing and makes Qingqing lose her relationship and money.

    Xia Yize started the live broadcast and regained his original intention. Although there was no notice and the number of fans who came up was half less than before, people’s emotions are more sensitive late at night and the barrages were very active.

    [Master, my boyfriend cried and begged for forgiveness after he cheated on me. Should I forgive him?】

    Xia Yize: “Hmph, a country is easy to change, but a person’s nature is hard to change. If repentance works, everyone will go to heaven.”

    [My boyfriend doesn’t dare to come out to his family. He was on a blind date recently and asked me if I wanted to wait for him.】

    Xia Yize: “What are you waiting for him to do? Wait for him to inform you that he is getting married, ask you for a share of money, and dare not admit his own orientation. How do you expect them to be responsible? Just say goodbye to brotherhood and return home to your wife and children.”

    “The rhetoric of scumbags is just shit wrapped in sugar. They have no heart. They don’t care. They are just providing help in times of need. Sympathy for scumbags will lead to bad luck.”

    Xia Yize read the various cases of fans being deceived by the scumbag one by one, and scolded the scumbag with them for two hours, which finally woke him up and he could no longer be led by Qi Ge.

    He now lives opposite Qi Ge’s house. With such a close distance, he should increase his firepower and capture Qi Ge. Even if he goes home in the future, he won’t be accused of being deceived. At least he helped Qing Qing punish the scumbag, which can be regarded as a military achievement.

    Xia Yize doesn’t go to work this week and is studying recipes at home. Qi Ge can’t forget the braised beans and noodles last time. He wants Qi Ge to be immersed in his cooking skills and unable to extricate himself.

    There is a large fresh food market nearby. Xia Yize’s menu today is spinach and meatball soup, steamed croaker, and he also bought some fruits, pears and strawberries, just in case he made a mistake, so he bought a little more of each.

    Qi Ge usually goes home after nine o’clock in the evening, so he has plenty of time.

    Xia Yize tasted the food while cooking it, which was at the laboratory level. He raised his shovel to take pictures of Qi Ge, waiting for you to go home for dinner.

    Qi Ge was projecting in a meeting. A message from Xia Yize flashed in the WeChat of the computer. Then WeChat was logged out. Qi Ge seemed to have just made a simple action to prevent disturbing the meeting. His speaking speed did not even change during the whole process, but Luo Hao also took a screenshot.

    After the meeting, Qi Ge turned on his mobile phone while walking. Xia Yize was holding a shovel and smiling stupidly. However, the word “go home” still made Qi Ge’s heart move slightly. Even he himself did not notice the slight curve of the corner of his mouth, and his steps quickened.

    As soon as Qi Ge got out of the elevator, Xia Yize’s door opened and he stuck his head out, “You’re back, come and eat.”

    Xia Yize wore an apron around his waist and home clothes, looking like a cook.

    Qi Ge lowered his gaze and couldn’t help laughing. The little black sesame ball also peeked out his head. Xia Yize lowered his head following Qi Ge’s gaze and hurriedly shut the little black sesame ball through the door.

    After a burst of noise at the door, Xia Yize’s call came, “Change your clothes and come here quickly.”

    “Okay.” Qi Ge chuckled. With such a lively neighbor, life would no longer be boring. He went home and did a quick wash and took two bottles of milk.

    As soon as Qi Ge went out, the opposite door opened. Xia Yize had already taken off his apron and said impatiently, “You’re so slow. I thought you were kidnapped when you went home.” In a blink of an eye, he saw Qi Ge’s milk, and he took it unceremoniously and made a request.”Can I have Coke next time? I don’t like milk.”

    Qi Ge flicked his head and mocked him in a serious tone, “Children who are picky eaters don’t grow taller.”

    “Who said that? I’m obviously not short. Drinking milk every day makes me stupid.” Xia Yize followed Qi Ge in defense.

    As soon as Qi Ge entered the door, he saw a pair of brand new slippers, which Xia Yize had prepared today. There were two pots of green plants on the windowsill, two dolls on the sofa, and a few small black sesame balls and small fish toys scattered on the ground.

    Obviously the rooms have the same layout, but the two families give people completely different feelings. The little black sesame ball is running around on the floor, and Xia Yize is humming in the kitchen.

    There is a feeling that the space is filled here. It is not as neat and orderly as my own home. Qi Ge’s home is more like a clean grid with horizontal and vertical lines, but without a single word on it.

    Qi Ge picked up the cat-catching stick at his feet and shook it to attract the little black sesame ball. Looking at the lively look of the little black sesame ball, you knew how boring it was at his house.

    “Come and see the chef’s skills.” Xia Yize placed the carefully prepared spinach ball soup and steamed yellow croaker on the dining table.

    Qi Ge looked at the soup in the bowl. Several small meatballs were stacked chubbyly in the bowl. It was dotted with green vegetable leaves. Objectively speaking, it looked good.

    Xia Yize put his hands on the table, eagerly waiting for Qi Ge’s evaluation, but Qi Ge’s spoon hesitated. Xia Yize couldn’t wait any longer, so he took a sip first like a poison test, then nodded with satisfaction and said, “It tastes good if you drink it.”

    Qi Ge put down his spoon and said, “I’m allergic to spinach.”

    Xia Yize’s expectant eyes turned to surprise, and then he stirred the soup in the bowl with a little loss, “Huh? I don’t know.”

    Qi Ge picked up a piece of fish and said, “The fish meat is good.”

    Xia Yize pushed the fish in front of him and said, “I’ll give it all to you.”

    Qi Ge pushed in front of him, “I can’t finish it.”

    It didn’t matter what he ate. This was the first time Qi Ge came home from get off work and someone had cooked a meal waiting for him.

    In the past, my family would cook simple meals, and the aroma of the neighbor’s food would drift in. In the kitchen, I could see the family sitting on the opposite floor sitting together.

    Now the smell of food from outside can no longer come in, and he no longer envies the way the family eats.

    Qi Ge cherished the meal and put down his chopsticks. Xia Yize handed over the tissue and asked, “What do you want to eat tomorrow?”

    “Tomorrow?” Qi Ge didn’t dare to expect a long time.

    “Is there anything tomorrow?” Xia Yize asked carefully, as if he was the one who was looking forward to it more.

    “Tomorrow is fine. What do you want to eat? I’ll buy it on the way after get off work.” Qi Ge looked calm on the outside, but in his heart he was already thinking about what to buy tomorrow.

    “I want to drink Coke.” Xia Yize said with a grin.

    “No.” Qi Ge refused coldly, “Drinking too much carbonated drinks is bad for your brain.”

    Xia Yize looked at him with squinted eyes, “The pharmacy teacher must have a scientific basis for what he says.”

    After eating, Qi Ge helped him clean up briefly and then went back. There were still a few documents to read in the evening.

    Two hours later, there was a knock on the door.

    Qi Ge saw through the peephole that it was Xia Yize. As soon as Qi Ge opened the door, he saw Xia Yize with wet hair and still dripping water. He was wrapped in a bath towel. He sneezed before speaking, “I don’t have hot water at home. Can I borrow your bathroom? I’m only halfway through washing.”

    Qi Ge frowned and looked at him, obviously not wanting him to come in. Xia Yize had just stood at the door for a while, and the ground was obviously wet. Qi Ge’s house was as clean as a vacuum. Even the first thing he did when he came home was to change clothes and clean up.

    Xia Yize sneezed again, his voice trembling: “If it doesn’t work, forget it. I went back and took a cold shower. If I pass out from the cold, remember to call 120 for me.”

    Xia Yize refused to leave. The temperature in the corridor was even lower. His cold lips turned purple and he trembled even more. Then he sneezed again. This sneeze was so loud that Qi Ge raised his hand and tilted his head to hide. Xia Yize might have caught a cold if he stood for a while longer. Qi Ge gritted his teeth and pulled the person in in disgust. He pointed at the bathroom, “Go quickly, don’t drip.”

    As if he had been forgiven, Xia Yize rushed to the bathroom with his clothes, leaving a trail of water stains wherever he went. Qi Ge’s expression was forbearing and his brows were furrowed.

    At this moment, Xia Yize’s cell phone slipped and fell to the side. Xia Yize turned around to pick it up.

    Qi Ge picked up a chair and put it over his phone. He took a deep breath, pointed to the bathroom, and said word by word: “Go in quickly and I’ll help you pick it up.”

    Xia Yize reluctantly ran a few steps, walked into the bathroom and stretched out his hand, “Give it to me, I want to listen to the song.”

    Qi Ge picked up the phone and put it on the table: “Please concentrate on taking a shower. Wash it quickly and come out quickly.”

    Xia Yize snorted and closed the door. The sound of rushing water could be heard inside.

    Qi Ge put Xia Yize’s mobile phone aside. The screen lit up, showing a gorgeous desktop, various fonts, and cartoon stickers. Qi Ge just glanced at it and saw his name.

    1. Qi Ge has a mysophobia.2. The first thing Qi Ge did after eating was to wipe his mouth.3. Qi Ge hates lying.4. Qi Ge likes to eat braised beans and noodles.

    I can’t fit the screen, so I can only see these few items.

    Qi Ge was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled. He stood up and placed Xia Yize’s cell phone on the table. He then wiped off the water stains Xia Yize brought and found a new pair of slippers to put at the door.

    Qi Ge sat in front of the computer, but his eyes were not focused on the documents. He remembered what Pan Yu said, “You have to allow someone to enter your life.”

    Not long after, Xia Yize suddenly opened the door, wearing only a bath towel around his waist, and took one foot out in a panic. Seeing that his cell phone was well placed on the table, he breathed a sigh of relief. Before Qi Ge could tell him that there were slippers at the door, Xia Yize picked up the cell phone and ran out as if he was running away.

    Qi Ge watched him hold the phone in his arms and run away, leaving behind a new series of water stains. He smiled and sighed, always frizzy.

    Xia Yize went home and leaned against the door, took out his mobile phone, only dared to open one eye to look at his screensaver, and then collapsed on the ground.

    “Plan to Revenge Scumbag” were written in small letters in the corners. Did Qi Ge see it? He sat on the ground and rolled the dice on his mobile phone. 135 saw it, but 246 didn’t.
