Chapter 12 - substitute romance 12
Qiao Xi walked over, took her hand skilfully and they walked off together.
The two of them sat down on the sofa, followed by another figure, and only then did Yu Huan realise that Qiao Rui had also arrived.
Still with soft black hair, a pair of innocent puppy dog eyes, a slightly milky and somewhat obedient appearance, except that he was wearing a white tank top with a different style than before, with a thin layer of muscle shape faintly visible.
Before the two of them could say anything, Qiao Rui’s friend came over and teased, “Rui hasn’t been to the gym much lately, has he? Look at those muscle lines…’
Although he had an ulterior motive, he put it on the table – Qiao Rui bit the flesh on his cheek and squeezed the flesh of his friend’s thigh hard.
A ghostly wailing sounded, shocking everyone at the table.
Qiao Rui was extremely embarrassed.
In her previous life, Yu Huan had been a sickly child who had spent years in bed, unable to do the things most people took for granted.
As a result, she enjoyed the simple pleasures of eating and drinking.
Qiao Xi crossed her legs in a carefree manner, her mouth, covered in auburn lip gloss, opening and closing as she gossiped about everyone she saw.
Her professionalism and depth of content were enough to impress anyone.
Yu Huan nibbled at the dim sum she had just eaten, enjoying the gossip.
Qiao Rui chimed in from time to time and was always busy looking at what Yu Huan liked to eat, picking it up from the counter and putting it on her plate.
Yu Huan ate for a long time and her stomach was full, but not much had gone down her plate, so she was a little confused for a moment.
Qiao Rui wasn’t sitting on the sofa, but on a high stool behind it, his long legs propped up on the floor so he could watch her cheeks bulge and laugh openly.
Just as he was laughing, a familiar figure suddenly emerged from the crowd. He had a strong aura about him, and he had long, slender, white hands that he casually placed on Yu Huan’s shoulders.
Yu Huan looked up at him and said something to Qiao Xi before leaving with him.
Qiao Rui was a bit confused. Did Sister Huanhuan know Qin Yunye? He stood up, although he wasn’t thinking about anything at that moment, but he stood up cautiously.
Qiao Xi looked up at him and said almost explicitly, ‘Don’t you want to go see?
So he walked in that direction, like a puppet whose soul had been extracted, sluggishly but following his instincts.
–
The fresh air outside was invigorating. The view was beautiful, but at night the bright moon in the sky was still the brightest thing.
A slow walk in the moonlight.
Yu Huan took a few steps, but then she started to feel lazy, hooked Qin Yunye’s finger and fell behind, using his strength.
You are too weak,” Qin Yunye stopped helplessly, took her hand in his warm, strong palm, and said, “You lack energy and blood. You should take good care of yourself during the day.
The best thing is to go to a Chinese doctor, get a prescription and take the medicine on time. You can’t boil the medicine in the dormitory, so I’ll find someone to boil it for you and bring it to you. It doesn’t taste good, but good medicine is bitter…”.
Under the hazy moonlight, the man with the dignified appearance and tall figure had deep eyebrows and eyes, and his pale lips opened and closed. His lips had a very nice shape, and Yu Huan didn’t know why she had drifted off, and then she felt his voice was loud.
‘What’s the treatment?’ she asked, confused.
Qin Yunye paused, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. Sometimes the little girl was too childish and didn’t take what he said seriously.
He was about to speak when his lips suddenly softened.
The little girl was smiling like a cat that had stolen some fish, but her voice was serious: “Is this the treatment?”
“Yes,” Qin Yunye said, his face solemn and his voice low. ‘The treatment will take a little longer.
Before Yu Huan could laugh at him, she was embraced, her chin gently lifted, and a slightly eager kiss landed on her.
Along the quiet tree-lined street, white magnolia petals fell from the trees, filling the air with their scent.
The scent wafted through a small corner where some people were kissing intimately, while others were stiff and lost in thought.
The dead branches and rotten leaves behind the magnolia tree left the imprint of a pair of sneakers.
–
Time passed in the blink of an eye, two months had passed.
The system dutifully reminded her, ‘Host, for the sake of our mission, please stay awake and don’t be confused by the male lead’s disguise at the moment. He is only treating you as a stand-in…’
As the system said this, Yu Huan was curled up on the sofa, flipping through an art album.
Qin Yunye was sitting next to her, peeling the skin off a bowl of fresh, plump lychees on the table and feeding them to her, then wiping her lips with a handkerchief.
Yu Huan didn’t quite understand what the system had said and let out an ‘ah’ in response.
The system said ‘it’s nothing’ on the surface, but in reality it was flipping through the script – in the original plot, had the male lead been this good to the female lead?
Or is it that the male lead loves the female lead so deeply that he is exceptionally indulgent with the supporting actress who looks similar to the female lead?
The script doesn’t say whether the male lead will give the female lead a hand with something as trivial as peeling a lychee, and the system, unable to find an answer and worried, can only choose to believe in the second explanation for the sake of the task.
The girl has long black hair, doll-like with slightly curled ends, and she holds a large art album in both hands, looking intently at it.
When she has been fed lychees in the past, she has only opened her mouth to take in the plump, white lychees, and her cheeks have bulged with flesh. The soft flesh on her cheeks looked even sweeter and more delicious to bite into than the lychees.
Huanhuan,’ Qin Yunye said, wiping the sweet, sticky juice that remained on her fingertips and calling out to her.
‘Huh?’ Yu Huan looked up doubtfully.
‘Would you like to eat spicy fish fillets tonight?’ Qin Yunye asked.
After spicy chicken wings, spicy fish fillets was another dish that Yu Huan had fallen in love with. However, she had a mouth ulcer a few days ago, so Qin Yunye didn’t have any spicy dishes for her. She had been craving it for a few days.
Yes!’ She looked at him expectantly with sparkling eyes.
I want something in return,’ Qin Yunye said slowly, stretching out his arms.
“A kiss?
The little girl put down the art album in her hands, threw herself into his arms, tilted her neck back and kissed him on the cheek, “Is that okay?
You must use the technique I taught you yesterday,’ Qin Yunye gently gathered the stray hairs from her ears.
Yu Huan’s face turned slightly red, and she played dumb without blinking an eye.
‘Have you forgotten?’ Qin Yunye asked in a soft voice, sighing helplessly, ‘You always have such a bad memory.
Then let’s review,’ he said.
–
The increasingly close relationship between them confirmed the truth that they had been spending a lot of time together.
Unfortunately, the summer holidays were approaching.
Yu Huan would no longer have as much free time as she did at school, and she would have to go home.
Although her home was also in the city, her activities were limited and the chances of seeing each other during the week were close to zero.
Not to mention that Yu Huan’s family did not know about their relationship.
The superficial reason for not telling her family is that Yu Huan’s mother values her children’s studies and keeps telling her to concentrate on her studies and not to get involved in such things during university.
The deeper reason is that Yu Huan knows that this relationship has lasted two years and is destined to end, and keeping it a secret will save her some trouble.
So when the summer holidays come, they will have to break up.
