SWNOVELXO Chapter 76 - II
A few hours later, the tough guy arrived.
He happily shouted to Xie Qi, “Young master, I’m here to cook for you again.”
He said this while holding a box in his hand.
Xie Qi asked, “What are you holding?”
The tough guy said “oh oh oh” several times and then answered, “This is a flower cake! Mr. Qin asked me to buy it. It’s freshly baked and still hot!”
Xie Qi, “…”
He was stunned. Qin Yizhi had clearly taken his casual words to heart and asked the tough guy to buy the cakes.
Xie Qi opened the box. There were several boxes inside. He opened one, revealing eight flower cakes inside, each still hot, indicating they had indeed been freshly baked.
The tough guy said, “There are only three flower cake shops in H City, and they’re miles apart. Mr. Qin asked me to visit all of them to find the best one. Thankfully, I’m a tough guy with plenty of strength and energy, so it wasn’t a problem.”
Xie Qi, “…”
He picked up a flower cake and took a bite. The filling melted in his mouth, and the fragrance of the roses transformed into a sweet and delightful taste.
The tough guy looked at him expectantly and asked, “Does it taste good?”
Xie Qi swallowed the cake and said softly, “…It’s delicious.”
The sweetness lingered in his mouth, and his heart felt a little warmer.
After finishing the cake, he picked up his phone and thought about sending a message to Qin Yizhi, but after typing it out, he couldn’t press send. After thinking about it, he put the phone down.
At the company, Qin Yizhi glanced at his phone. Seeing no messages, he calmly put it back down.
School started, and Xie Qi went to report in.
Although he didn’t need to stay in the dormitory as a freshman, he still had to pay the dormitory fee. Even though it was only eight hundred yuan, Xie Qi felt a little reluctant and decided to buy a mat so he could take naps there during the day, making use of the accommodation.
After registering and paying, Xie Qi went outside and saw many clubs recruiting new members. He found it a bit novel, so he looked around at the football clubs, literature clubs, handicraft clubs, art clubs, and more.
As he passed by one club, a group of people in unusual outfits stopped him. Several girls excitedly called out, “Junior! Join our anime department!! You’ll definitely stand out!”
“Yes, yes, you’re so handsome! If you join our club, we’ll treat you to a big dinner, okay?”
Xie Qi was stunned, stopped, and asked kindly, “What club are you in?”
The girls replied, “Cosplay in the anime department! We dress up as characters from games or anime. You’re so handsome! You can cosplay as either a guy or a girl! You’ll make great money! Please join the anime department!”
Xie Qi looked up and down at their outfits. The one with yellow and green hair was particularly unconventional. He sincerely said, “…Sorry, I don’t think I can. My parents would beat me to death.”
If Qin Yizhi found out, he’d probably be furious.
The girls surrounded him, chirping, “Think about it! We’ll treat you to milk tea! I’ll cover all your milk tea for freshman year!”
“Me too! You have no idea how few male cosplayers there are! Someone as tall and handsome as you are so rare! Oh, oh, oh, oh, please!”
“That’s right!! You must be this year’s school heartthrob! You’re the most handsome among all the students! Your skin is so white it shines! You’re so gorgeous!”
Xie Qi, “…”
Despite Xie Qi’s cold face, he actually had a soft ear. He couldn’t stand it when Yao Wenzhu always called him “baby,” not to mention when the opposite sex praised him for being handsome.
The roots of his ears turned slightly red, but he remained calm and rational and refused, “Then I have to ask my parents first. I can’t agree to you casually.”
He thought to himself that he was really professional and would report to his husband as he was told without any fear.
The girls looked at each other and hadn’t expected this handsome guy to be a mama’s boy.
He had to give him his contact information first, and Xie Qi was able to get out of trouble.
After he left, the girls said to each other, “Why do he still listen to his parents if he is so handsome? We’re all college students.”
“Didn’t you see it? I saw a ring on his ring finger… Could he be married?”
“Impossible. He probably doesn’t understand this and wearing it in the wrong position.”
“He talks so much about his parents. Oh, I didn’t expect him to be such a good kid. He really is the most handsome freshman in this year.”
“Let him come as much as possible. I can give him snacks for a semester.”
“Ah…he went to the basketball department to fill out the application form.”
The girls were heartbroken as they watched Xie Qi lean over the desk to write his name, “He probably won’t come.”
“There are so many people in the basketball department, and they still want to recruit new ones. How about giving us a few more!”
Xie Qi didn’t know what they were saying behind his back. He finished writing the application form for the basketball club and made up his mind to get some exercise.
It wouldn’t work if he was too weak.
After that, Xie Qi sent Qin Yizhi a message, [Hubby, I joined the basketball club. What do you think?]
Qin Yizhi quickly replied, [Good.]
Xie Qi, [By the way, the cosplay department is looking for me. Do you think I should join?]
Qin Yizhi asked, [What?]
When Xie Qi saw it, Qin Yizhi didn’t know either, so he couldn’t help but laugh, [It’s just cosplay.]
Qin Yizhi said, [If you like it, join.]
Xie Qi, [Actually, I don’t want to participate either, but they complimented me on my looks, so I’m tempted.]
Qin Yizhi, “…”
Qin Yizhi said, [If you join the basketball club, you don’t need anything else.]
Xie Qi, [Huh??]
‘Why did you change your attitude all of a sudden?’
Xie Qi asked, [Is it really not possible? They begged me so pitifully to join.]
Qin Yizhi, [No.]
Very decisive.
Xie Qi wasn’t disappointed. He hadn’t really wanted to participate in the first place, but Qin Yizhi’s denial gave him a reason to be confident. He replied, [Okay, I’ll refuse.]
He told the newly added Meow Meow-chan, [I asked my parents, but they didn’t let me participate. There’s nothing I can do.]
Meow Meow-chan, [Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu, do you still listen to your parents like this?]
Xie Qi replied, [I have to listen. He has the ability to make money.]
Meow Meow-chan, “…”
After Xie Qi declined, he reported to Qin Yizhi again, [I declined.]
Qin Yizhi asked, [Why did you refuse?]
Xie Qi said, [I told them you have the ability to make money, so I have to listen to you.]
Qin Yizhi, [Good.]
Xie Qi paused and typed, [I also have ability. Guess what they are.]
Qin Yizhi asked cooperatively, [What?]
Xie Qi raised the corners of his lips, typed a few words, and sent them out, [I like you very much.]
Qin Yizhi, “…”
His teeth were itching.
