SWNOVELXO Chapter 77 - II
After eating hastily to fill his stomach, he went to buy two cups of milk tea for them as a thank-you gift.
Then, the contact information was easily exchanged.
Looking at it, it didn’t seem difficult for him to make friends.
But he couldn’t muster the energy to make new friends.
Xie Qi also ordered a cup of milk tea, but when he drank it, his nose was overwhelmed by the strong flavour.
He took another uncertain breath, and the smell of powdery foam hit his face.
Xie Qi thought, “…”
He had never been this sensitive before. He couldn’t even taste if there was powder in it!
He realized that eating at Qin’s house had spoiled his taste buds. No wonder they thought it tasted good, but he didn’t feel the same.
It was because his taste had subtly adapted to Qin Yizhi’s preferences—since the cook at the Qin family was very skilled and particular, blending various ingredients perfectly.
Xie Qi held the cup of milk tea and drank it bravely.
After parting ways with the two boys, he walked around for a while before searching for his dormitory.
But after searching, he discovered that his dormitory seemed to be the faculty dormitory the two boys had mentioned.
He went to the dormitory warden’s office to get the dormitory key and card. He noticed the warden glancing at him a second time, with a somewhat meaningful look, so he asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong?”
The dormitory manager, an aunt, replied, “It’s okay. I just noticed that there are only a few single rooms in this dormitory. You’re pretty lucky to get one.”
Xie Qi responded, “Is that so?”
He was still a little puzzled. After bidding farewell to the dormitory manager, he understood what she meant when he arrived at his dormitory. It was actually a suite, with one bedroom, one living room, one bathroom, one kitchen, and a balcony.
The decoration was very nice, clean, tidy, and sunny.
However, it was useless because he lived off campus.
Still, this kind of luck made him feel a bit happy.
It was nice to have his own space. If he ever had to argue with Qin Yizhi, he could still stay in the dormitory.
He didn’t have to worry about roommates arguing with him.
Xie Qi picked up his phone and took a few photos of the dormitory and sent them to the group. [This is my dormitory. How about it?]
Li Siwen immediately replied, [Damn it, it’s pretty good! Are you sure this is just a dormitory? Isn’t it a house your husband rented for you?]
Xie Qi responded, [No, the off-campus house my husband bought for me is much bigger than this. It’s a three-story detached villa with a garden, and the cat has space to run around.]
Li Siwen: […wuwuwuwuwu, I’m so jealous of you!]
Fan Qingyue: [This terrible world. I really want to punch it to pieces.]
Xie Qi added, [This is actually a faculty dormitory. University is still better than high school. Teacher Hou’s faculty dormitory wasn’t this nice.]
He looked around the dormitory and closed the door. When he left, he saw a new student moving in next door, unpacking their things. The door was wide open, and Xie Qi stopped to take a look. The decor inside was mediocre and a bit shabby. Even the double bed was made of iron.
Xie Qi thought, “…”
There seemed to be a big difference between single rooms and double rooms.
He was indeed very lucky.
After this comparison, Xie Qi couldn’t help but feel happy again—even though he wouldn’t live in the dormitory permanently.
After finishing his errands, Xie Qi returned home. It was already past one o’clock in the afternoon when he arrived. The macho man was dozing off in the living room, obviously waiting for him to come back.
He noticed Xie Qi as soon as he entered the door, quickly stood up, and said, “Young master, did you eat outside? I made lunch. If you’re still hungry, I’ll heat it up for you.”
Xie Qi replied, “I ate, but I couldn’t really enjoy it.”
The macho man, with a bit of teasing, said, “You’re so picky.”
He smiled brightly and added, “That’s for sure. How can the ingredients bought outside be better than those from Mr. Qin’s farm? Even the water used for your cooking, young master, is mountain spring water. Every detail is taken to the extreme so that you can have the ultimate enjoyment.”
He then added, perhaps intentionally or unintentionally, “You’re used to eating the food my mother and I cook. Young master, you won’t be able to tolerate food from outside. When the time comes, you may not be able to stand it if you ever want a divorce.”
Xie Qi thought, “…”
The macho man still didn’t understand him.
He wasn’t that delicate—how could he not be able to give up these things?
However, after eating the hot food prepared by the macho man, Xie Qi’s taste buds were delighted, and he felt incredibly comfortable.
He thought, somewhat unwillingly, that maybe he really *would* hesitate to divorce one day because of the food.
Life was about making the most of things.
Later in the evening, Qin Yizhi came over to accompany him. When Xie Qi mentioned this, he asked, half-jokingly, “If we ever separate, could I have the macho man work for me and cook my meals?”
Qin Yizhi paused, glanced at him, and said calmly, “He already got a salary increase. It’s 80,000 yuan a month. Can you afford that?”
Xie Qi thought, “…”
Then, Xie Qi said, “Please don’t divorce me in the future. Let’s stay together for a hundred years. We’ll have a son soon and be together forever.”
