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

Qi Nan carried the black cat to the next room.

"Knock knock," two knocks on the door.

I waited a few seconds.

Footsteps sounded from inside the room, and the door was pushed open. However, it wasn't Xia Ningqi who opened the door, but Su Qing's chubby little face.

"Xiao Qing? What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to ask Sister Xia for tutoring."

"Oh, I see."

Qi Nan nodded knowingly.

next second.

It made a "meow" sound.

Su Qing's gaze was drawn to the cat in Qi Nan's hand.

"Brother Qi Nan, what's this?"

"This is a local specialty from my apartment. I brought it over as a gift for your sister Xia."

"Brother Nan, eating cat meat is too cruel."

Qi Nan: ....

They went inside.

Xia Ningqi was looking down at her phone when Qi Nan sat down opposite her and broke the silence, saying, "I'm sorry, Teacher Xia, I shouldn't have touched your leg yesterday. Here, take this cat as an apology for my offense."

Xia Ningqi looked up.

Her beautiful, long eyelashes trembled slightly.

That's not what I care about...

"Meow~ Meow~"

The black cat meowed twice, attracting Xia Ningqi's attention.

Su Qing, who was also sitting opposite her, innocently asked, "Does this big, fat black cat have a name?"

"name?"

Qi Nan clicked his tongue. "I had almost forgotten. We still haven't given it a proper name."

Xia Ningqi complained, "This cat is really suffering since it's been with you."

"It's not like I wanted it to come with me; it's just that it insisted on staying."

Meow~

The black cat let out a mournful cry, seemingly blaming Qi Nan.

Su Qing covered her mouth and laughed, "Look, even the cat is unhappy."

Qi Nan put it down.

"Xia Ningqi, don't you like cats? Give it a name, and it'll be yours from now on."

"I think it's just that you're too lazy to take care of it."

"How could that be? I only gave it up because I knew you liked cats."

"Alright, alright, Sister Xia and Brother Nan, stop worrying about it. As long as we all raise them together, it'll be fine."

Xia Ningqi strokes the black cat's fur.

It put on a docile look and didn't resist, as docile as a mentally challenged cat.

I do really like cats...

Xia Ningqi smiled and said, "I can accept that, but the cat litter will be in your room, and you'll have to clean up the cat poop yourself."

Qi Nan: ?

So you only care about petting the cat, while all the dirty and tiring work like dealing with poop and pee is left to me?

"A pet owner who doesn't clean up after their pet isn't a good owner."

"Then you can keep it and shovel it yourself."

Qi Nan sighed.

I really had no other choice; this woman was completely unreasonable.

"Oh dear, we'd better hurry up and give the kitten a name, otherwise it'll be too pitiful if it doesn't even have a name."

"This guy's all black, how about we call him Little Black?"

Xia Ningqi scoffed, "Xiao Hei? He looks like the guy downstairs who fixes electrical wires, and he's too generic. He doesn't have any unique features at all."

Qi Nan incisors.

"Then tell me, what other names sound good?"

"Like... a ball of yarn?"

"And you're criticizing me, when your own taste isn't much better."

Xia Ningqi blushed, "That's still better than your Little Black."

Just as the two were arguing fiercely, Su Qing spoke up, "How about we call it Coal Ball?"

Coal lumps?

The two exchanged a glance.

I felt that the name Su Qing came up with seemed pretty good.

After all, its black color does indeed fit the image of a coal ball very well, and the words "coal ball" are also easy to pronounce.

"This name sounds nice, let's call it Coal Ball then."

"I agree..."

Both of them stopped arguing, after all, it was incredibly embarrassing for two adults to be unable to name a child.

After deciding on the cat's name, seeing the two still playing with the cat, Xia Ningqi slapped the table.

"Alright, don't forget it's study time now, you two better pay attention."

"Oh, okay," Qi Nan scratched his face. "I'll go back and get my books now."

"Does Brother Qi Nan also need tutoring?"

"Yeah, it's all because he sleeps in class every day, and now he doesn't know anything."

Su Qing squinted and smiled, "So Brother Qi Nan is a bad student too? Does he always only get sixties on tests?"

Qi Nan raised an eyebrow.

Is there such a good thing?

Let alone sixty-something, even sixty would be enough.

You have to understand that once you get to university, if you don't get a guaranteed spot in graduate school, and assuming you don't fail any courses, the competition is all about who can get as close to 60 points as possible. As for the so-called GPA, it doesn't really matter.

Qi Nan returned to Xia Ningqi's room after collecting the textbooks.

"I should have bought a small blackboard."

Looking at the two people, one big and one small, opposite her, Xia Ningqi felt extremely tired. She was busy with classes in the morning, and now she couldn't even have a moment's peace in the evening.

After giving the two of them an extra hour of tutoring, they finally got some help.

Su Qing was the first to give in and started pecking at herself like a chicken pecking at rice. Her little head seemed to be filled with lead, and she began to nod downwards from time to time.

It's really quite cute.

The first thing Xia Ningqi thought of was to take out her phone and capture the scene.

Qi Nan complained, "You're taking advantage of someone's misfortune; you have no sportsmanship."

"So what? I'm enjoying it myself."

"But Xiaoqing seems really sleepy. Why don't we let her sleep? After all, it's getting late, and it's not good for children to stay up late."

"Okay, then carry her to bed."

Qi Nan slowed his movements as much as possible, picked Su Qing up in his arms, walked quietly to the edge of the bed, and then tiptoed to place her on the bed.

Exhale.

"This little guy is sleeping quite soundly."

Xia Ningqi also came to the side, saying, "Xiao Qing has delicate features; she'll definitely grow up to be beautiful."

That's how I feel.

Xia Ningqi glanced at Qi Nan. "When did I ask you?"

"Haha, I was just saying, don't misunderstand."

"You'd better be."

Qi Nan scratched the back of his head. "Then I'll go back and rest too..."

"Xiao Qing is young and goes to bed early. You're such a grown-up, do you want to be like her?"

"But..."

"You haven't finished your tasks for today, so stop thinking about slacking off."

"Yes, teacher..."

Qi Nan sat back down, and Xiang Xia Ningqi didn't choose to sit opposite him, but instead chose to sit next to Qi Nan.

A faint fragrance lingers around the nose.

Why are you sitting here?

"This way, the sound of teaching will be quieter, so as not to wake Xiaoqing up."

"Oh... I underestimated it..."

I didn't expect Xia Ningqi to be so considerate.

Qi Nan didn't say anything more and began to work on the remaining key examples.
