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

Xia Ningqi looked coldly at Qi Nan, "Are you going to eat or not?"

"Eat, of course I'll eat."

Qi Nan honestly put down his phone, picked up his chopsticks, and first put a few lettuce leaves into the pot.

He then dipped the tripe in the sauce Xia Ningqi had personally prepared, and put it in his mouth. Instantly, the aroma of beef tallow mixed with sour and spicy flavors filled his entire mouth almost in an instant.

"Hmm! What did you use to make the dipping sauce? It tastes much better than what I make myself."

Seeing his cheeks puffed out and a look of enjoyment on his face, Xia Ningqi smiled faintly, puffed out her chest proudly, and said, "I won't tell you."

"Hmph, how stingy."

Xia Ningqi also started putting ingredients into the pot.

However, Qi Nan felt increasingly uneasy as he ate, because he noticed that Xia Ningqi was stuffing food into his bowl, and he didn't need to pick it up himself. Just the food she put into his bowl was enough to make him eat more than he could finish.

And the reasons given are all sorts of bizarre and outlandish.

such as.

"It's cooked; it'll get mushy if you don't eat it."

"I don't like fish balls, you can have them."

"I ordered a bag of wide rice noodles. I took a quarter, and you took three-quarters. Don't ask why; the answer is that you have a big appetite."

"And this big bone, the puppy can take it and gnaw on it."

...

"Xia Ningqi, please stop putting food on my plate, I really can't eat anymore."

Qi Nan's cheeks were stuffed full of hot pot ingredients, and from Xia Ningqi's perspective, he looked like a giant hamster.

have to say.

Feeding Qi Nan gave her a strange sense of satisfaction, like playing a real-life simulation game.

"This is nothing! Didn't you say you could eat a whole cow?"

"I was just using a metaphor..."

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Qi Nan hurriedly took a sip of wine to smooth things over, and even wondered if Xia Ningqi was trying to choke him to death.

Make eye contact.

"And shouldn't you be the one who really needs to eat more? You're as skinny as a bamboo pole."

"Don't you guys just like skinny girls?"

"That's not necessarily true; some people prefer fuller figures."

Xia Ningqi became interested. "So what kind of girl do you like?"

"I'm a compromise; I like someone who's slim where they should be slim and curvy where they should be curvy."

Xia Ningqi snorted coldly, "Why not just say she has a curvy figure?"

"That seems to be true..."

Xia Ningqi rolled her eyes at him, then lowered her head, thinking that she should probably count too...

Feeling that the conversation had gone astray, Qi Nan was about to change the subject when the overhead light suddenly went out, plunging him into darkness.

"Hmm? Is the light bulb broken?"

Xia Ningqi remained calm in response, clearly indicating that this was not the first time she had encountered such a situation.

"It's not that the light bulb is broken, it's probably a power outage. I guess it's another problem with one of the circuits."

"When will it be fixed?"

"The earliest we can expect to see them is tomorrow, since the property management here has always been subpar."

Qi Nan was somewhat skeptical, so he turned on his phone's flashlight and checked the electrical box, only to find that the circuit breaker hadn't tripped.

When I returned, the room was still completely dark.

"Well, there's nothing we can do. I never expected to encounter something like this on New Year's Eve."

"So, are you full?"

Qi Nan nodded, "I'm already nine-tenths full."

Upon hearing this, Xia Ningqi straightened up.

"I want to go to the park. It's dark and there's no heating here anyway, so it's uncomfortable to stay here."

Qi Nan stretched and said, "Okay, you go ahead then, I'm going back to sleep."

Xia Ningqi's tone was icy, "Fine, then go back to sleep. I hope you die in bed tomorrow."

What a vicious curse...

"Okay, okay, I'm not joking anymore. I'm quite full right now, so I need to go for a walk to help with digestion."

"Get out of here, I don't want to talk to you."

Realizing she had been tricked, Xia Ningqi was a little resentful.

Qi Nan was also helpless; this person really was his ancestor.

"Don't be angry, I'll carry your shoes for you, okay?"

The room was dark, so Qi Nan turned on the light and picked up Xia Ningqi's white shoes, waving them in front of her.

Xia Ningqi could only see the outline of Qi Nan's face and the reflection of the light on his shoes.

"I can't see it."

"so what?"

"Since you like picking up my shoes, why don't you just wear them for me too?"

Xia Ningqi raised the corners of her mouth, thinking she could turn the tables.

To everyone's surprise, Qi Nan accepted without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll help you put it on."

"Don't you...don't you have any shame?"

Just as Xia Ningqi was panicking, Qi Nan had already squatted down.

"Princess, please lift your foot."

It was a popular internet meme, but when Qi Nan said it, it made Xia Ningqi blush.

After hesitating for two seconds, she still lifted her foot.

"Don't get any improper ideas...like sniffing or anything..."

Qi Nan's mouth twitched. "I wouldn't do something so perverted."

"Who knows..."

Somewhat helplessly, Qi Nan held the shoe in one hand and gently grasped her ankle with the other. Xia Ningqi was a little sensitive, and her body trembled slightly.

Fortunately, he behaved himself and did not do anything strange after putting his feet, which were clad in flesh-colored stockings, into his shoes.

Xia Ningqi rested one hand on her chest.

She was a little uneasy, after all, she had been exercising all day, and she didn't know if she would smell.

Ah ah ah~

I should have known better than to get revenge on him; now I've made myself look so awkward...

Just as her brain went blank, Qi Nan had already put on her other shoe.

"That's fine."

Qi Nan stood up, his face showing no particular expression, as if he had just done a small thing.

The room was very dark.

He didn't notice anything wrong with Xia Ningqi's complexion, but he felt that the surrounding temperature seemed to be rising.

"I...I have to go..."

Xia Ningqi paced back and forth, without turning on her flashlight, feeling her way in the dark, and hurriedly left the apartment.

Why are you walking so fast?

"Mind your own business."

...

Qi Nan followed.

The park isn't far from the apartment; it's about a kilometer away, just across the pedestrian walkway.

"I heard there's a fountain show in the park today. We can go see it together on our way."

Xia Ningqi slowed her pace slightly.

"If you don't have it, you're dead."

"Hey, you're being too aggressive. I don't think I did anything wrong, did I?"

"You're so shameless, it's annoying."

Qi Nan shrugged. "I'm just naturally thick-skinned. There's nothing I can do about it."

Xia Ningqi took a deep breath.

Forget it, getting angry will shorten my lifespan. I can't argue with this guy; I'll only hurt myself that way.
