After wiping, Gu Qing casually brushed away the strands of hair stuck to the girl's forehead.

The girl remained motionless, naturally enjoying Gu Qing's service.

This somewhat ambiguous and intimate gesture was not the first time it had happened between the two.

Whenever Su Xiyue went shopping, she never let Gu Qing carry the bags.

Gu Qing was initially a little unaccustomed to it, and even subconsciously resisted it.

But Su Xiyue insisted on this point.

In the girl's words, "Gu Qing, you've already cooked, so what's wrong with me carrying some things? It's perfectly fair!"

Su Xiyue has already figured out Gu Qing's personality.

I'd rather others owe me than I owe others.

There is an invisible scale in the heart of a young person, weighing everyone and everything at any time and in any place.

Su Xiyue had figured it out. What she needed to do was not to weigh down one side of the scale, but to always maintain the same level as Gu Qing on the other side.

This is difficult and requires sufficient understanding.

But compared to others, this is Su Xiyue's biggest advantage.

"All right."

With no trash cans nearby, Gu Qing had no choice but to stuff the tissues into his pocket.

After walking for a few more minutes, the two finally arrived home.

As Gu Qing turned on the living room air conditioner, he said to Su Xiyue, "Go take a shower first, I'll pack your things."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Gu Qing!"

Su Xiyue put the things she bought in the kitchen, then went into her bedroom, grabbed her pajamas, and went into the bathroom.

Gu Qing took this opportunity to marinate the beef and further process the fish.

ten minutes later.

Su Xiyue walked out of the bathroom wearing a thin nightgown, with water droplets still clinging to her hair.

Naturally, the girl moved closer to Gu Qing again.

"Steak tonight?"

Su Xiyue looked at Gu Qing's actions and asked.

She doesn't seem to have ever eaten Western food made by Gu Qing himself, except for desserts and cakes, of course.

"I'll have steak next time. Today we'll use the beef for cooking, and we'll be pan-frying cod."

Gu Qing can cook Western food.

After all, Western food is much simpler to prepare and cook than summer food.

When living alone, quick and easy Western meals can be a good option.

However, the Xia people have a rich variety of tastes, and Western food is far from satisfying their discerning palates.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Su Xiyue asked.

"No need, today's meal is simple, just wait to eat."

Gu Qing shook her head.

"Then I'll go do the laundry!"

Su Xiyue wasn't clingy at all, and with cheerful steps, she went into the bathroom again.

Soon after, the sound of the washing machine spinning could be heard.

A few minutes later, Gu Qing looked up by chance and was slightly taken aback.

Su Xiyue was holding a round clothes rack with clips in her hand.

And clipped to that clip were his white socks that he had just taken off not long ago.

Although this wasn't the first time something like this had happened, Gu Qing couldn't help but scratch the sole of her slipper with her toes.

How should we evaluate Su Xiyue's hobby...?

Gu Qing thought for a moment and finally came up with only seven words: "Support but do not advocate."

Everyone has their own hobbies, and as long as they do not violate social moral values ​​or harm others, they can be understood.

but……

He couldn't help but think back to what had happened last night.

Although it wasn't exactly persecution, it left a deep impression on him.

That strange feeling, not exactly uncomfortable, but kind of itchy.

It wasn't exactly comfortable, but I felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

Gu Qing could understand this strange feeling, yet she couldn't quite control it.

Humans are just like that sometimes!

With this strange, somewhat self-centered feeling, Gu Qing did not make any explicit judgment on the girl's act of washing socks.

He only let the girl wash her paws when she came closer again.

Perhaps even Gu Qing herself didn't realize that the line between habit and indulgence is very thin.

Unable to find anything to do in the kitchen, Su Xiyue quickly lay down on the sofa.

Two long, slender, white legs were arranged in a straight line.

She scrolled through her phone and checked her messages, only to find that three guys from her dorm were posting pictures of roadside barbecue and beer, and had tagged her in the group chat.

The girl gave a disdainful smile, then raised her phone, pointing the camera at Gu Qing's back in the kitchen.

The next moment, a picture of a handsome young man cooking in the kitchen appeared in the group chat.

"Ha, a bunch of single dogs!"

I'm too lazy to read the three guys' replies; I figured they'd just be expressing envy or asking for a close-up of their faces.

Are you kidding me?

Being allowed to see Gu Qing's back view was already the greatest favor she could bestow.

……

Tonight's dinner will be all about quality.

The beef was tender and juicy, but after cooking, you couldn't really taste much of its original flavor.

The pan-fried cod, however, was incredibly tender and refreshing when paired with freshly squeezed lime juice.

After praising him as always, Su Xiyue asked, "Gu Qing, is there any dish you can't cook?"

"That's quite a lot."

Gu Qing thought for a moment and replied, "For example, dishes like Nine-Turned Intestines and Fried Double Crispy Ingredients in Shandong cuisine are quite demanding in terms of technique. They may look simple, but they actually require the most effort."

Cooking is Gu Qing's habit and pleasure, but not her profession.

The so-called "knowing a lot" is simply a desire to have a better life.

Anyone who has eaten food that has been exposed to nuclear radiation would probably have this thought.

"But I feel like you can do everything!"

Su Xiyue's tone was full of admiration.

"That's just because you don't eat much."

Gu Qing smiled gently. Of the eight major cuisines in China, he didn't know more than half of them, let alone those from all over the world.

By the time dinner was over, it was already getting dark.

Through the living room balcony, the view of thousands of lights shining in every home is unobstructed.

What seems ordinary to most people is of rare significance to him.

Those who haven't experienced it can hardly understand that every lamp in a family represents a beautiful vision.

Just as he was reflecting on this, Su Xiyue, who had already cleared the dishes, brought out a basin of water from the bathroom.

"Gu Qing, wash your feet."

The girl said eagerly.

Gu Qing glanced at the water in the foot bath basin, and couldn't help but scratch the soles of her shoes with her toes.

"Let's get this straight, you're not allowed to bite!"

When Gu Qing said those words, she could clearly feel something strange in her heart.
