You Have One Too?

After seeing the neighbor off, Xiao He remained expressionless, but his gaze secretly shifted, stealing a glance at Ye Wanqing.

Ye Wanqing glared at him with a straight face, but the moment their eyes met, she suddenly stopped and burst out laughing.

"You promised you wouldn't laugh at me!?" Xiao He asked angrily.

"No, it's just..." Ye Wanqing tried to deny it, but couldn't help laughing so hard she was shaking.

"Where is the trust between people?!" Xiao He immediately got angry. Ye Wanqing covered her mouth, forcibly suppressing her laughter, and replied, "Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you anymore... Let's go watch anime, anyway, it's already dead."

Xiao He clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, picked up the cockroach's corpse with a tissue, threw it into the toilet, flushed it away, and then felt relieved. He and Ye Wanqing sat in the living room watching anime. Whether it was because of the anime or some other unknown factor, Ye Wanqing had a smile on her lips the whole time.

"Are you secretly laughing at me?" Xiao He asked, arms crossed and legs shaking anxiously.

"No, I was just watching Gintama," Ye Wanqing said with a smile. Xiao He frowned. "Oh? Is that so? Then swear it. If you're laughing at me in your heart, you'll stay single for life!"

"..." Ye Wanqing was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled sweetly at him, "Would you like some late-night snacks?"

"Don't give me that!" Xiao He said irritably. "What do you mean by late-night snack? Don't try to distract me, just swear an oath!"

"Hey, let's check if the dough for the steamed buns has risen enough. Let's make a few and steam them together," Ye Wanqing said with a sweet smile.

"I won't eat..." Xiao He said stubbornly, "I'm already full of anger."

"You even called me Little Pufferfish..." Ye Wanqing stood up and stretched, revealing her beautiful figure. Then she went into the kitchen and got busy.

Of course, it would be a lie to say he wasn't hungry. Brown rice is not very filling, and after eating, he went for a forty-minute walk. It was already 10:30, and Xiao He's stomach was completely empty.

A short while later, Ye Wanqing returned with a plate of sandwiches, which surprised Xiao He a bit: she usually made Chinese dishes, so he didn't expect her to make sandwiches this time.

"Didn't you say you were going to steam buns?" Xiao He glanced at Ye Wanqing and asked.

"The dough hasn't risen properly, let it rise again overnight," Ye Wanqing said with a smile.

Xiao He picked up the sandwich and took a bite. It was quite simple, just lettuce, tomato, fried egg, and fried ham wrapped in some salad dressing, but for some reason, it suited his taste perfectly.

Ye Wanqing didn't go back to her room; instead, she sat opposite him watching him eat, secretly plotting something in her mind.

Ye Wanqing was actually quite happy during this time together.

Since returning from the National Day holiday, Xiao He's attitude towards her seemed to have undergone a subtle change. Although they still bickered occasionally, Ye Wanqing was quite satisfied with this change.

The thought of another threat within Xiao He's faction made her feel irritable again.

Especially when she recalled the things Huang Ling said to her in front of her when they were eating out last time.

"Hmph, this time it's my turn to retaliate..." Ye Wanqing thought to herself with a soft snort.

Therefore, the next morning, when Xiao He was getting ready to go to class, Ye Wanqing went out with him.

"Don't you have no classes in the third and fourth periods in the morning?" Xiao He asked, puzzled.

"You've accompanied me to so many classes, of course I have to return the favor," Ye Wanqing said with a smile, then picked up her handbag. "Let's go, Old Xiao, your girlfriend accompanied you to class today. Aren't you happy?"

"Whatever," Xiao He rolled his eyes. "Anyway, everyone knows I have a girlfriend."

On the way to the classroom, Ye Wanqing, sitting on the back of Xiao He's bicycle, suddenly sneezed. She then slapped Xiao He and said irritably, "Were you secretly cursing me? People say, 'Cursing someone leads to worrying, then catching a cold.'"

"How could that be! If that were true, you'd be sneezing all the time," Xiao He replied.

Ye Wanqing punched him angrily and said, "What right do you have to scold me? I cook for you every day!"

"No, I was thinking about you," Xiao He explained. "I was thinking that the Little Pufferfish looks cutest when it's all puffed up."

"Don't call me Little Pufferfish!" Ye Wanqing got even angrier and punched him.

As a result, her punch caused Xiao He to lose his balance, and the bicycle wobbled forward, startling Ye Wanqing so much that she quickly grabbed his waist.

Xiao He steadied himself, muttering as he felt the startling sensation on his back, "This isn't my fault..."

"I... I didn't blame you..." Ye Wanqing said, hugging his waist. "Hurry up, we're going to be late."

The two arrived at the classroom. It wasn't the first time Ye Wanqing had appeared in their department, but it was the first time since she lost weight. The new impact made time in the classroom seem to stand still for a second or two.

"Old Xiao, this way." Ye Wanqing took his hand and walked forward, then deliberately chose a spot behind Huang Ling.

This situation made Xiao He a little embarrassed. His interactions with Huang Ling during this period were... normal, just casual chats between classmates. They would greet each other occasionally when they bumped into each other, but they hadn't gone out for meals or movies privately.

"Did the two of you come together today?" Huang Ling asked with interest.

"Yes, he came to my department to accompany me to class, so of course I had to return the favor," Ye Wanqing said with a slight smile, glancing sideways at Xiao He.

Xiao He whispered a defense, "Didn't you run off with me on the autumn outing first?"

Huang Ling just smiled and didn't say anything. Then the school bell rang, and the teacher began the lesson.

A little while later, Ye Wanqing asked, "Shall we eat at Willow Restaurant today?"

"Oh, so you don't care about skipping class anymore?" Xiao He gave her a sidelong glance, clearly annoyed.

"You're the one skipping class, not me," Ye Wanqing replied matter-of-factly. Xiao He reached out and flicked her forehead.

"Ahem." The teacher on the podium frowned and cleared his throat. "Some students, pay attention in class, okay? You're in university now. It's not that you can't date, but this is in the classroom, so be mindful of your behavior."

Ye Wanqing stuck out her tongue, and then, when all the students in the department were looking over, she took Xiao He's arm and smiled sweetly.

"So cunning..." Xiao He complained with dissatisfaction.

After the first class ended, Huang Ling took advantage of Ye Wanqing going to the restroom to turn around and start a conversation with him.

"Your relationship with Wanqing seems to have improved recently?" Huang Ling asked softly with a slight smile. "She still calls Old Xiao."

"I guess so..." Xiao He sighed, "After all, we've known each other for so long."

"So do you still think we should continue developing our relationship as a dating project?" Huang Ling asked directly. Xiao He was taken aback. She saw right through him, which made him a little embarrassed. He couldn't answer that question.

"Looks like you already have the answer in your heart," Huang Ling said with a smile. Then she suddenly leaned closer and said mysteriously, "I'll let you in on a secret, I actually have Superpower too."

"You have one too?!" Xiao He's heart skipped a beat at the other person's words. He turned his head to look at Huang Ling in surprise, while she smiled mysteriously.
