Only after Ye Xiaofeng saw Qingqing sleeping peacefully did he relax. He tucked her in, returned to the sofa, and thought about how that little devil had kept him from getting a decent night's sleep these past two days.
He closed his eyes and fell asleep again, only waking in the middle of the night. Ye Xiaofeng went over and turned on the light, then splashed his face with cold water, instantly becoming much more alert.
He turned to wake Qingqing for dinner, only to suddenly see... Ye Xiaofeng's nose started bleeding profusely. He hurriedly ran off to wash up with cold water again, forcing himself to calm down.
She had been perfectly fine when she went to sleep. How had she taken everything off and tossed it all over the floor? Even the blanket had been kicked onto the ground.
The clothes Ye Xiaofeng picked up carried a faint fragrance. Unable to resist, he brought them to his nose and sniffed them, then shook his head. Since when had he become such a pervert? He picked up the blanket again and put it back on the bed.
"Qingqing, get up and eat. Stop sleeping." Although Ye Xiaofeng was greeted by a dazzling stretch of white, he did not let his thoughts run wild again.
"Let me sleep a little longer." Still half-asleep, Qingqing unhappily kicked Ye Xiaofeng with her foot. When she lifted her leg, Ye Xiaofeng once again saw the source of life right before his eyes, and his throat went unusually dry.
"Get up already." Ye Xiaofeng could not endure the torture any longer and slapped Qingqing's full, round butt. The smack echoed throughout the room.
"Ye Xiaofeng, you bastard! I'm going to kill you!" Qingqing sprang up and pinned Ye Xiaofeng to the bed. "You dare hit me?" She grabbed both his ears and twisted them hard.
The spot Ye Xiaofeng had struck burned with pain, yet mixed into that pain was an indescribable sensation—slightly pleasant.
"Qingqing, I was wrong! I won't do it again!" Ye Xiaofeng felt as though his ears were about to be torn off, but the snow-white view before him made his nosebleed start flowing uncontrollably again.
"Ah! Ye Xiaofeng, you son of a bitch! You took advantage of me while I was asleep! You bullied me! Boohoo!" Only then did Qingqing realize she was not wearing any clothes.
Ye Xiaofeng hurried off again and washed himself with cold water, trying to calm down once more.
"Qingqing, I've been wronged! I saw that you'd kicked your blanket onto the floor and thrown your clothes everywhere, so I helped put them back on you. I called you several times, but you wouldn't wake up." Ye Xiaofeng explained everything truthfully.
"Shut up and turn around!" Qingqing said angrily, her face red. Ye Xiaofeng stared straight ahead, making it impossible for her to get dressed.
"I'll cover my eyes with both hands. I absolutely won't peek," Ye Xiaofeng said shamelessly. Then he slightly parted two fingers. If he missed such a beautiful sight, surely heaven would strike him with lightning.
Qingqing had not expected Ye Xiaofeng to be so shameless. With no other choice, she blushed and quickly got dressed.
"Have you seen enough?" Qingqing angrily got out of bed and walked up to Ye Xiaofeng.
"Not yet. Hehe." Ye Xiaofeng stubbornly maintained his shameless manner.
Qingqing ignored Ye Xiaofeng and went downstairs. Ye Xiaofeng followed behind her, and their meal still featured the Signature Dish.
"Qingqing, I apologize for what happened at noon. To show my sincerity, I'll feed you this Signature Dish." Ye Xiaofeng gave a lecherous grin, clearly unwilling to let Qingqing off.
"Don't copy the way I talk. No kindness without reason—there's either a scheme or something dirty behind it." Qingqing seemed to have seen through him.
"Girls shouldn't talk nonsense. What do you mean, either a scheme or something dirty? Nothing has ever happened between us." Ye Xiaofeng spoke like an adult lecturing a child.
"Hmph. I've gotten sick of eating meat lately. I'll just eat vegetables." Qingqing copied Ye Xiaofeng's words as she replied.
"No, you have to eat it." Ye Xiaofeng was not about to let Qingqing off. After all, she had made him eat the Signature Dish at noon.
"Tell me honestly, what ingredients are used in this Signature Dish?" Qingqing had noticed something suspicious yesterday, which was why she had forced Ye Xiaofeng to eat it.
Since Ye Xiaofeng had eaten it and nothing happened, her concerns had faded. Yet today, Ye Xiaofeng had brought up the dish again.
"Lamb kidneys. You know they're good for strengthening the body." As he spoke, Ye Xiaofeng picked up a piece and ate it.
"Come on, have a taste too. How is it?" Ye Xiaofeng picked up a piece and held it to Qingqing's lips. Of course, what he had picked up was not lamb kidney.
Seeing that Ye Xiaofeng was fine, Qingqing ate it too. What kind of meat was this? It was so chewy that she had to chew for ages before swallowing it. Then she saw Ye Xiaofeng secretly smiling.
"What are you smiling about?"
"I'm not."
"I clearly saw you smiling just now."
"You must have seen wrong."
"Ye Xiaofeng, you're bullying me. Tell me honestly, what were you smiling about? Is there something wrong with this dish?"
"I really wasn't smiling. There's nothing wrong with the dish either."
"Fine. If you won't tell me, I'll ask someone else." Qingqing stood up, ready to leave.
"I'll tell you, all right? This dish is made from lamb kidneys. It nourishes essence and replenishes qi."
"This is lamb kidney. Then what is this?" Qingqing held up a piece of meat with her chopsticks. It was clearly not lamb kidney.
"It also nourishes yin and boosts yang, and it can even fight aging."
"I asked what kind of meat it is."
"Tiger meat, I guess."
"Tiger meat, you guess? Tell me honestly, what kind of meat is it?" Qingqing felt that something bad had happened.
"Tiger penis." Ye Xiaofeng could no longer hide it and had no choice but to tell the truth. Right then, he wanted nothing more than to beat Shopkeeper Li senseless for three days and three nights.
"What?" Qingqing's eyes widened as she stared at Ye Xiaofeng. That bastard Ye Xiaofeng had tricked her into eating that thing.
"You big jerk! Not only did you deceive me, you even bullied me! Boohoo!" Qingqing burst into tears. Her stomach churned, and the sight of the food on the table made her want to vomit.
"Qingqing, listen to my explanation. I didn't know before either." Ye Xiaofeng held the sobbing Qingqing in his arms.
"You get away from me! Do you remember what I said before?" Before Ye Xiaofeng could react, Qingqing broke free and, in her rage, threw both fists at him.
"My eyes!" Ye Xiaofeng's eyes, which had only just recovered, were once again greeted by Qingqing's fists. He became a panda-eyed mess again.
"This is the price of deceiving me." Seeing Ye Xiaofeng turn into a panda-eyed mess again, Qingqing's anger subsided.
"Qingqing, do you have some grudge against my eyes? Why do you always go after them?" Ye Xiaofeng said pitifully. He was a victim too. It was all Shopkeeper Li's fault.
"Fine, then I won't hit your eyes anymore."
"Really?"
Just as Ye Xiaofeng was about to thank her, Qingqing's fist landed in his stomach.
"You..." Ye Xiaofeng completely lost it. He suddenly regretted provoking this female devil.
"Stop pretending. Get up, I'll feed you." Qingqing was very pleased with her handiwork just now, and she felt especially satisfied.
"Can I not eat?"
"What did you say? Was that last beating too light?"
"I'll eat, I'll eat, all right?" Ye Xiaofeng could neither hit nor scold this female devil and could only surrender. Since you want me to eat, don't blame me for being rough when we go to sleep later. Hehe.
Seeing Ye Xiaofeng cooperate so well, Qingqing stopped feeding him and let him eat by himself.
"I ate half. I'll leave the other half for you." Ye Xiaofeng gave another lecherous grin.
"I don't want it." Qingqing hurriedly objected.
"That's not up to you." Ye Xiaofeng pulled her straight into his arms and force-fed her until she finished it.
After that, Qingqing stopped making a fuss. The two happily finished dinner and drank two bottles of wine as well.
After eating and drinking their fill, Ye Xiaofeng swept Qingqing up in a princess carry and carried her upstairs.
