If you're not going to marry me, why are you flirting? If you dare run away, I'll sever yo

On the 30th, it was just getting light outside the window.

Xia Ningqi got up very early.

Looking at her bare face in the mirror, she decided to put on some light makeup, ostensibly to avoid embarrassing Su Qing.

It took about ten minutes.

She opened her wardrobe, intending to choose a suitable dress, and saw the white dress that Qi Nan had given her, placed in the most conspicuous position.

shook his head.

Forget it, the weather is so cold now, I'd freeze to death if I wore this.

Xia Ningqi immediately dismissed the idea and focused her attention on the other clothes Shen Wanping had bought for her.

It has to be said that although she is middle-aged, her taste in clothes is really good, and almost every piece she buys for herself is very beautiful.

However, after thinking about it, since she was participating in the school's parent-child activity as a parent, Xia Ningqi chose a more mature floral dress, then put on a pair of smooth flesh-colored stockings, and paired them with a pair of brown low-top leather shoes.

After turning around in front of the full-length mirror and feeling satisfied, Xia Ningqi picked up her bag and left the apartment.

Arriving at the door of Qinan next door, the old iron gate was still tightly closed.

Xia Ningqi pouted.

This lazy pig is probably still sleeping.

Without thinking further, she knocked on Qi Nan's door.

Once, twice, three times.

...

After a long while, the door finally opened.

Qi Nan had messy hair and was only wearing a white tank top, looking completely like he hadn't woken up yet.

"Xia Ningqi, what are you doing? Why are you knocking on my door so early in the morning instead of sleeping?"

Xia Ningqi put her hands on her hips and said irritably, "You haven't forgotten what you promised Xiao Qing, have you?"

Reminded by her, Qi Nan realized that today was the 30th, and he still had to go to school to participate in Su Qing's fun parent-child sports meet.

"Okay, I'll go get ready..."

Qi Nan rubbed his eyes and went back into the house.

I turned around instinctively.

Seeing Xia Ningqi still standing there dumbfounded outside the door, he casually said, "Come in too, it's quite cold outside."

Winter is approaching in Linhai. Because it is located in the south, the temperature is relatively mild at midday, but it gets very cold in the early morning and at night.

"oh..."

Xia Ningqi didn't stand on ceremony and followed him into his apartment.

Because the heating was on, the room and the outside were completely different worlds.

Meow~

What comes into view is a black cat sleeping in its bed.

Xia Ningqi asked in confusion, "You raised it?"

"Yes, but it's only temporary. I'm afraid it will freeze to death outside in the winter. I'll release it back into the wild in the spring so that its mating season won't disturb my rest."

"You cold-blooded animal."

Xia Ningqi initially thought Qi Nan had some kindness, but in the end, he turned out to be a hypocrite.

Qi Nan didn't argue with that, and went into the bathroom to wash up.

The waiting period.

Xia Ningqi began to look around on her own.

With her sharp eyes, she immediately spotted a box of "Vietnamese rubber" on the table.

This is?

Square packaging? Rubber? Could it be a condom?

Although Xia Ningqi had never used it, she had seen the male and female protagonists using similar packaging when doing serious business while watching TV dramas and reading comics these past few days, so she naturally associated it with something negative.

"Qinan..."

Xia Ningqi picked up the "Vietnamese Rubber" from the table and angrily shouted at Qi Nan in the bathroom, "You bastard! Why is this thing in the room?"

Qi Nan turned around halfway through brushing his teeth, with undried foam still clinging to the corners of his mouth.

"Gurgle, gurgle."

After rinsing his mouth, he spat the water into the sink.

"What's wrong? Is it strange that I have rubber gloves in my room?"

"Rubber...rubber gloves?"

"Yeah, what else did you think it was?"

Xia Ningqi was skeptical, puffing out her cheeks. "I don't believe you! Don't think you can fool me like that!"

"If you don't believe me, I'll take it apart and show you."

Qi Nan leisurely picked up a washcloth, wiped the water droplets off his face, walked straight to Xia Ningqi, took the so-called "baby hiccup condom" from her hand, and then, without any hesitation, tore open the box.

Xia Ningqi watched nervously as he slowly took the gloves out of the box.

"See, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Xia Ningqi breathed a sigh of relief, then said irritably, "Why did you buy something that's so easy to misunderstand?"

"A misunderstanding?" Qi Nan asked, looking at the box.

"But I feel perfectly normal. When eating things like turtle that are difficult to pick up with chopsticks, I use plastic gloves, which are very convenient."

Xia Ningqi was speechless.

A moment of silence fell over the air.

Qi Nan asked curiously, "So what did you mistake it for?"

I'm not telling you!

Xia Ningqi turned her head away, a blush spreading across her face.

It's all Ye Anran's fault, that big yellow girl, all she does is send me these adult-themed things every day, making my thoughts impure now.

baffling.

Qi Nan put down his gloves and met Xia Ningqi's eyes.

"Why are you looking at me? I need to change my clothes."

"Let's change it then, who cares?" Xia Ningqi crossed her arms and turned her back to Qi Nan.

Two minutes passed.

It wasn't until the rustling sound of someone changing clothes behind me ended that it stopped.

"Okay, I'm done dressing."

Upon hearing this, Xia Ningqi finally managed to turn her body back.

When she met Qi Nan, she was still dressed in a completely unappealing outfit. If it weren't for her model-like face, she probably wouldn't have been able to stand looking at her at all.

"You're going to Xia Qing's fun sports day dressed like that?"

"Otherwise what? Isn't it beautiful?"

"So tacky."

"You're being sarcastic again! You're being sarcastic with me again!"

Xia Ningqi clicked her tongue, "Even ginseng rooster is better than free-range chicken."

Qi Nan sighed helplessly, "There's nothing I can do about it. This is the only level of my taste."

"Open the wardrobe, let me help you choose."

"Will you help me?"

"Otherwise what?" Xia Ningqi said mercilessly, "Even if my taste is terrible, it's still better than yours."

"Oh well..."

Qi Nan had no choice; since his ancestors had spoken, he naturally had no room to refuse.

After opening the wardrobe, Xia Ningqi began to carefully select items.

"If you feel cold wearing this top and these pants, you can add a jacket in the same color."

Qi Nan watched Xia Ningqi rummaging through his wardrobe and couldn't help but think that if she really got married one day, she would probably be a very good wife.

"What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and change. If you dawdle, you'll be fully responsible for being late."

"Okay, okay, I'm going right now, don't pressure me."

Qi took the clothes that Xia Ningqi had carefully selected and quickly went into the bathroom.

When I came out of there again, I felt like a completely different person.

Xia Ningqi looked him up and down, and finally found him agreeable.

As expected, clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse. Qi Nan, who usually dresses casually, can look stunning with just a little dressing up.

but....

Xia Ningqi thought about it and felt that it would be better for him to be more casual in his daily life, so as not to attract unwanted attention.
