    Chapter 20: Unconscious Teasing

    Li Chongge usually arranges all the itineraries for the next day in advance and strictly executes them.

    But there are exceptions.

    Like the suddenly postponed meeting last night.

    And the temporary addition of taking Qin Yuanging to see a house at noon today.

    Qin Yuanging was picked up from the office by Li Chongge and went directly to his residence.

    Li Chongge’s vast assets allow him to own countless properties anywhere, but he chooses to live alone in Pudong all year round, so Qin Yuanging has been here countless times before.

    Qin Yuanging can’t say when his “coveting” of Li Chongge started, because his fondness for sticking to Li Chongge is not a matter of a day or two.

    Sticking to Li Chongge from the office all the way back to his residence is commonplace for Qin Yuanging.

    After Li Chongge refused his many requests to stay overnight, Qin Yuanging planned to buy a house directly here and be his neighbor.

    However, Qin Yuanging’s conditions were a bit harsh, because he also demanded to be in the same building as Li Chongge.

    So until Qin Yuanging ran off to Canada, he couldn’t buy a suitable house here as he wished.

    But that strong desire at that time suddenly came true today, and Qin Yuanging’s mood was inevitably complicated.

    “Didn’t you say we’re going to see a house?”

    Qin Yuanging was brought into the residence by Li Chongge. The decoration inside hasn’t changed much from two years ago. He is very familiar with this place and even knows which drawer Li Chongge’s razor is in the bathroom.

    “We have to eat first. I ordered takeout from Nanquanyuan, it will be here in a while.”

    Li Chongge took slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them beside Qin Yuanging’s feet very naturally.

    Qin Yuanging’s heart skipped a beat.

    He thinks he is probably the first person in the world to have this honor, to have Li Chongge personally get shoes for him.

    Qin Yuanging hurriedly put on his shoes, and then heard Li Chongge ask him.

    “What do you want to drink, tea or juice?”

    Qin Yuanging never likes to drink coffee, Li Chongge knows this very well, so he didn’t ask him.

    For Qin Yuanging, coffee is a stimulant he takes for work, it’s medicine.

    It’s not worth his while to taste it during his rest time.

    “Juice, ice, please, thank you.”

    “Okay.”

    The weather is getting hotter day by day, and today’s sun is exceptionally good, shining in through the huge glass window, making the room bright.

    Qin Yuanging only wore a shirt and sat obediently on the sofa, smiling at him.

    Li Chongge looked away and went to the kitchen.

    It wasn’t until he heard the faint sound of the juicer running that Qin Yuanging realized that the juice Li Chongge was talking about was freshly squeezed juice.

    Li Chongge personally making juice for him?

    Qin Yuanging pursed his lips, feeling a little dazed.

    Li Chongge walked out with the juice, opened the refrigerator, added two crystal clear ice cubes for Qin Yuanging before handing it to him.

    Li Chongge rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms. A drop of clear water hung on his fingertips. As he approached Qin Yuanging, the crystal clear water droplet fell on the back of Qin Yuanging’s hand, causing his fingertips to tremble slightly.

    Qin Yuanging took it blankly. Before he had time to say thank you, the doorbell rang, so Li Chongge took the opportunity to get the takeout.

    Qin Yuanging feels that Li Chongge has suddenly become very domestic…

    Li Chongge refused Qin Yuanging’s suggestion to help, and put the dishes into the plates one by one, before calling Qin Yuanging to eat.

    Noon is very quiet, the two of them sit quietly and eat, only the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding can be heard.

    Li Chongge doesn’t talk much. When the two of them used to be alone, with Qin Yuanging chattering beside him, he would only find it lively, but not noisy.

    But now Qin Yuanging doesn’t talk much when eating, it makes the whole room too quiet.

    “Qin Yuanging.”

    “Hmm?”

    Qin Yuanging held the bowl, looked at Li Chongge, his slender eyes had light pupils, and Li Chongge could vaguely see his own reflection in them.

    “Why don’t you talk?”

    “You used to love to talk.”

    Qin Yuanging is not a chatterbox, he just likes to talk to Li Chongge.

    “Didn’t you always tell me to eat properly when eating and not to talk?”

    Sometimes Qin Yuanging feels that he is quite vengeful. Even though he didn’t become less talkative in front of Li Chongge for this reason, he can still clearly remember Li Chongge’s insignificant lesson back then and use it to turn the tables on him.

    “It was my fault, say whatever you want.” Li Chongge paused, and a very shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. “I like listening to you talk.”

    These words were too shocking for Qin Yuanging. His hand trembled, and half a stalk of asparagus slipped from his chopsticks and fell accurately in the center of another dish.

    Li Chongge picked it up, put it in his own bowl, and ate it…

    The tips of Qin Yuanging’s ears, in a place Li Chongge couldn’t see, gradually turned a light red.

    How could Li Chongge do this! Unknowingly teasing him. These words, and that asparagus, made it really hard for him not to overthink.

    “You’re such a big person, how can you not even hold chopsticks properly? Do you want me to buy you a pair of baby chopsticks?”

    Mingming, Li Chongge insisted on calling them baby chopsticks. The word “baby” coming out of his mouth was a bit strange.

    It’s as if Li Chongge’s persona suddenly went out of character.

    But inexplicably, Qin Yuanging felt a sting in his heart. Not too heavy, but with great consequences, making him panic.

    “No need, hurry up and eat, we still have things to do later.”

    When Qin Yuanging said this, he deliberately imitated Li Chongge’s appearance, put on a straight face, and pressed down the corners of his mouth, but his aura was greatly reduced.

    But Li Chongge found it very interesting.

    He also imitated Qin Yuanging’s appearance and said “oh” softly.

    After Li Chongge finished eating, he put the bowls in the dishwasher and said to Qin Yuanging, “Let’s go, let’s go upstairs and take a look at the house.”

    “Just us? Where’s the person who’s going to show us the house?”

    “No one else, I’ll take you.”

    Li Chongge took down his and Qin Yuanging’s coats, opened the door, turned sideways, and signaled Qin Yuanging to follow.

    Qin Yuanging didn’t know why, but he honestly followed behind him.

    The two of them quickly reached the upper floor.

    “What do you think?”

    Qin Yuanging is standing in this house, it is really difficult to say that he doesn’t like it.

    The decoration inside is very consistent with Qin Yuanging’s aesthetics. It can be said that even if Qin Yuanging himself designed it, it might not have such an effect.

    Qin Yuanging’s firm heart just now began to waver at this moment.

    Seeing Qin Yuanging’s hesitation, Li Chongge continued to tolerate his pickiness.

    “If you don’t like anything, I’ll have someone change it.”

    Qin Yuanging finally came to his senses.

    “You bought this floor too?”

    If it’s Li Chongge’s house, then he would most likely only let him live there temporarily, and would not sell it to him.

    Qin Yuanging, who was still undecided just now, suddenly felt a little regret.

    “Yes, if you are not satisfied with anything, feel free to bring it up.”

    “This house was originally yours.”

    “Qin Yuanging, you don’t have to feel embarrassed.”

    Li Chongge said a lot in one breath, filling Qin Yuanging’s slender eyes with doubt.

    “Mine?”

    How could it be his? He did want to buy a house here before, that’s right, but if he remembers correctly, he didn’t find a suitable house at that time.

    Li Chongge lowered his eyelids slightly, his deep eyes were like a pool of cold water, completely capturing Qin Yuanging’s figure.

    “This is my gift to you for your twenty-fifth birthday.”

    Qin Yuanging’s breathing completely stopped. After looking at Li Chongge for only two or three seconds, he immediately collapsed and hurriedly looked away.

    A sense of guilt instantly filled his body.

    Li Chongge did nothing wrong, but he was forced to endure his cowardice and selfishness.

    Qin Yuanging thought that Li Chongge is really a very generous person, and he actually forgave him so easily, and accompanied him to act out a scene where nothing happened.

    At this moment, Qin Yuanging really felt that he was extremely hateful.

    “I’m sorry…”

    Qin Yuanging lowered his head and apologized for his mistake for the first time.

    “It’s okay.”

    Li Chongge never argues with Qin Yuanging, but he still won’t ask Qin Yuanging why he suddenly wanted to leave.

    He hopes that one day, Qin Yuanging will be willing to mention it to him on his own initiative, although that day may be relatively far away.

    It’s okay, he is willing to wait, he is already used to waiting.

    “But this is too precious…”

    Even if Qin Yuanging is not short of money, but such a valuable house, even in the past, Qin Yuanging would not be able to accept it without any burden, let alone the Qin Yuanging who is now ill-intentioned and has made mistakes.

    “You know, this is nothing to me.”

    “If you really think you’re wrong, then accept it.”

    Li Chongge is very good at grasping Qin Yuanging.

    If there is such a machine in the world called Qin Yuanging, then the only manual will only be in Li Chongge’s hands.

    Even Qin Haoting and Yu Keci cannot make their son “surrender” in the shortest time, but Li Chongge can.

    Li Chongge paused his tone: “Or are you just apologizing verbally, but you don’t agree in your heart?”

    “Qin Yuanging, are you Perfunctoryme?”

    Li Chongge’s questioning made Qin Yuanging even more ashamed.

    “No, I…I’m very happy, just…thank you. I like your gift very much.”

    In fact, Li Chongge doesn’t need Qin Yuanging to accept it, because Qin Yuanging’s name is on the title deed of this house.

    Li Chongge can easily get all of Qin Yuanging’s documents.

    But Qin Yuanging’s attitude of admitting his mistake is good, Li Chongge is quite satisfied.

    “I suggest you move in tonight. Tomorrow morning, I’m going to the site, and you go too.”

    Li Chongge, like an NPC who regularly releases tasks in the game, dictatorially decided Qin Yuanging’s itinerary for tomorrow.

    But it’s nothing, it’s his honor to serve Party A.

    Qin Yuanging looked at the time, they only had twenty minutes of rest time left.

    “Do you want to rest?”

    “I’m not tired, do you want to rest? You don’t have a quilt here, go to my place and lie down for a while?”

    Qin Yuanging finally got a chance to sleep at Li Chongge’s residence.

    But he didn’t dare to agree to this tempting proposal.

    “No, I’m not tired either.”

    “Then let’s go, I’ll accompany you back to pack your things. Don’t bring those weird things over.”

    Li Chongge mainly refers to the hollowed-out sweater that couldn’t cover anything that he saw in Qin Yuanging’s room last time.

    Li Chongge doesn’t think this kind of thing has the qualification to be worn out as clothes.

    “Now? But what about your work in the afternoon?”

    Li Chongge stopped in his tracks.

    “We shouldn’t go now. If you want to move out, at least I have to personally say hello to Uncle and Auntie. Let’s go at night.”

    Qin Yuanging: “…”

    Qin Yuanging still followed Li Chongge out, but the destination was not the company or the Qin family villa, but the supermarket.

    The dazzling array of goods made Qin Yuanging dizzy and unable to start.

    But Li Chongge very experiencedly selected some daily necessities for him, and even thought of a toothbrush for him.

    Qin Yuanging pushed the shopping cart and followed behind Li Chongge.

    Li Chongge focused on picking out goods, and Qin Yuanging focused on peeking at Li Chongge.

    Qin Yuanging feels that he is almost finished, Li Chongge’s charm is even greater than before.

    The superior appearance of the two attracted the attention of many people, especially two girls who were whispering not far from them, with excited faces.

    “They are definitely a couple!”

    “Ahhhhh, I think so too, they are so well-matched!”

    The two were too excited and forgot to lower their voices, and Qin Yuanging heard them, and his face immediately turned pale.

    No way? Is his attempt on Li Chongge so blatant?

    He glanced at Li Chongge cautiously, and seeing that he was still focusing on picking out goods with his head down, Qin Yuanging felt relieved.

    It’s just that if he gets closer, he will find the corners of Li Chongge’s lips raised.
