The next day, Dongfang Liuyun woke up quite early. When she woke up, Qi Lei was still sleeping all wrapped up in his blanket like a silkworm.

He had fallen asleep really late last night, and she only vaguely sensed that as she was about to fall asleep, he had carefully walked into the bedroom to shower and then go to sleep. His movements were light as if he was afraid of waking her up.

She obviously pretended to have fallen asleep as she stayed still. That way, she could also avoid any unnecessary awkwardness, though of course, she had still been a little unhappy because of the game earlier.

At 7 a.m., Qi Lei woke up on time and realized that the woman beside him was gone, so he got up quickly too. When he saw the packed black backpack, he breathed a sigh of relief, then swiftly washed up before helping her carry it downstairs.

“Good morning! I was just about to go upstairs to call you down for breakfast.”

He had just walked a few steps down the stairs when a clear voice rang out. He looked down and saw Dongfang Liuyun walking towards the dining table with breakfast.

The black lounge outfit on her thin figure made her look more spirited, and her hair was all pulled up into a bun, held together with an exquisite hair roller. She looked exquisitely beautiful, and her eyes held a faint light, giving Qi Lei an amiable feeling.

“Isn’t there Aunt Wang? Why did you cook yourself? Despite it being quite early, you’re full of zest.” Qi Lei continued to walk downstairs and set the bag aside on the sofa before he walked to the dining table. He sat down elegantly and looked at her with interest.

Dongfang Liuyun put the food onto the table and glanced at him before she pulled out the chair to sit. “I thought you’d at least express how touched you are. Try it. It’s my first time making special spring rolls.”

She nudged the plate before her towards Qi Lei.

Qi Lei’s eyebrows raised as he looked at her, then he lowered his head to look at the so-called spring rolls on his plate...

Was she sure that this was not the legendary Cuisine of the Dark Regime1?

Qi Lei suddenly felt a shudder from the depths of his heart. After a while, he still did not pick up his chopsticks.

“Aren’t you going to give me face?” Dongfang Liuyun’s starry eyes flickered and then she stared at him.

No one would dare believe that the genius Miss Dongfang was good at culinary skills and dishes, but when it came to these side dishes, she was terrible. It was not for any reason but because she liked trying to make side dishes that she had tasted before at certain shops. However, every time she made them they were all quite...

Qi Lei looked at her so-called spring roll and actually had a bad feeling, but under her anticipatory gaze, he picked up his chopsticks and slowly made his way to pick up the spring roll.

“Hold on.”

Just as Qi Lei was about to put the spring roll into his mouth, she suddenly stopped him.

“Come. Add some wasabi and some vinegar. That way, it’ll taste better.”

Before Qi Lei could react, she had already put some wasabi and a brush of mature vinegar onto the spring roll.

Qi Lei frowned and looked at the thing between his chopsticks. He hesitated for a moment, then said in a lowered tone, “Miss Dongfang, I’m not a fan of heavy flavors...”

Upon hearing that, she raised her eyebrows and smiled to say, “No worries. You can try it and give me your opinion.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Don’t you think you’d know better by eating it yourself?”

“Right now, you’re my most loyal customer, so don’t be shy.”

“This isn’t about...” Qi Lei sighed and then put it into his mouth...

“How is it?”

“Pfft!”

Before she could finish, Qi Lei had choked and his eyes had involuntarily welled up with heat as he almost cried!

He swore that he had never eaten a worse-tasting spring roll!

When Dongfang Liuyun saw that, she squinted and looked at him with a silent expression as she was thinking of something. She subconsciously reached out to touch her chin and asked puzzledly, “Is it that terrible?”

“No, it’s nice. It’s not bad. How about you try—” He forced a smile that was uglier than if he were crying, then stuffed half the spring roll that was left on his chopsticks into Dongfang Liuyun’s mouth.

Dongfang Liuyun turned her head to a side and evaded it. She smiled at him from the side and said, “I feel assured then. Since you think it tastes good, I’ll make it for you often.”

“I don’t need you to use such ways to repay me. Even though I know right now you might be feeling grateful towards me, you could use another way to show it such as...”

“I heard that to win over a man, I’d have to first win over his stomach,” Dongfang Liuyun said with a grin.

“You know that’s just a saying. You’re doing this on purpose.”

“I’m not so foolish to the point of no return. I can tell,” Dongfang Liuyun admittedly frankly and looked at him from the side with that ‘I’m messing with you on purpose’ expression.

“You’d better hand over the equipments that you hid last night. You said we were going to share equally, but you kept more than half of the things to yourself. Do you think you’re worthy of being paired with ‘Swift Snowy’?”

When she said this, Qi Lei was dumbfounded. Moments after that, he realized what Dongfang Liuyun was saying.

That was right. Last night, they had worked together once again to infiltrate the underground and had even gotten many gems from there. Previously, they had agreed to share equally, but he thought she did not know, so he...

No wonder she did not seem too happy after they went offline. It turned out...

“How could that be? I’m not hiding it from you, just leaving it for your dowry in the future.”

“I’m quite serious about everything I do. Qi Lei, you’re not only my partner right now, but you’re also my husband. I don’t want you to lie to me over some small benefit. You might as well just tell me, and I won’t fight over it with you. This is a warning.”

Qi Lei obviously did not know that for a rather long time, this spring roll would become a hint for when Dongfang Liuyun was angry or unhappy!

Right now, he just cleared his throat and gathered himself...

“I’m not your student, Miss Dongfang. You don’t have to do this to me.”

“There’s nothing quicker and meaner than this to handle a single-celled organism like you. Besides, it’s highly efficient.”

“You...” Qi Lei was unexpectedly speechless. Usually, he would always have something to say, but when it came to her...

“Next time, if you are in the same situation as I am, you can do the same to me. Then, we won’t be worn out from being suspicious of each other since I’m most worried about that.”

Right now, Dongfang Liuyun moved away from the spring roll and poured herself a glass of warm milk.
