In Qizhou City, the sky was a little gloomy and it seemed like it might rain at any time. Cao Xi directed Qin Zhao to take the charcoal into the kitchen and prepare dinner.
"What the hell, even a piece of charcoal can stain your face."
Qin Zhao stood obediently, leaned forward, and put his dirty little face in front of Cao Xi.
"What's dirty?" Qin Zhao's face got closer and closer, Qin Zhao looked at Cao Xi teasingly. Unexpectedly, Cao Xi refused to dodge, his eyes were bright and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Under Cao Xi's gaze, Qin Zhao's face slowly turned red and his eyes wandered, "Ahem, it's dirty, then I'll go wash it off."
Cao Xi grabbed Qin Zhao and wiped him with her sleeves. With a sly look in her eyes, she traced Qin Zhao's face to his neck and gently stroked Qin Zhao's ears.
Qin Zhao felt his blood flow back all over his body, his body stiffened, and his eyes seemed to flash with water. He glared at Cao Xi angrily, "Don't even think about me before we get married."
"Puch!" Cao Xi smiled and patted Qin Zhao, "I actually want to do something good."
"It's time to light the fire and cook." Cao Xi suppressed a smile and walked around Qin Zhao towards the kitchen.
But who would have thought that as soon as he turned around, Qin Zhao hugged him from behind and said, "Well, then..." before Qin Zhao could say the reason.
There was a knock on the courtyard door.
The two looked at each other in confusion, and Qin Zhao took the lead to let go of Cao Xi and open the door.
There was no reply for a long time after opening the door. Cao Xi walked out of the kitchen and found Qin Zhao standing at the door, neither letting anyone in nor saying hello or asking.
Seeing the person clearly: "Brother Li, when did you come back?" Cao Xi opened his eyes wide and was very surprised.
The person outside the door was none other than Li Feng. He was holding two baskets in both hands. The baskets were covered with floral cloths, which were obviously gifts for them.
Cao Xi stepped forward excitedly, but was grabbed by his waistband and was taken back to the original place.
Her clothes were pulled, and she knew the reason without even thinking about it. Cao Xi had no choice but to open the door and let Li Feng come in and sit down.
Li Feng had a clear view of the two men's movements. Li Feng raised his eyebrows and smiled at Qin Zhao.
"Congratulations on passing the exam. This is a specialty I brought back from the Western Regions. I hope you like it."
As he said that, he opened the basket cloth and found two baskets full of dried fruits and snacks, all of which Cao Xi liked to eat.
Qin Zhao glanced at the dried fruit and said in a cold tone: "Thank you, and congratulations on your safe return."
After several people were seated, Qin Zhao took the teapot from Cao Xi's hand and poured tea for Li Feng. Then he poured a cup for Cao Xi, placed it in front of her, and carefully asked, "The tea is hot, let it sit for a while before drinking."
Li Feng secretly said "childish" to Qin Zhao with his mouth
Cao Xi secretly kicked Qin Zhao and asked, "Brother Li, has the journey been smooth?"
Li Feng: "Thanks to the breast protector you gave me, otherwise my life would not have been saved."
Qin Zhao squeezed the tea cup and retorted, "Did you remember wrongly? I gave you the breast shield?"
Li Feng:........................
Cao Xi: "Are you still leaving when you come back this time?"
"I won't leave for now." Li Feng made a lot of money this time and could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Okay, the road is far and dangerous, so try not to go if you can."
Qin Zhao was a little unhappy when he saw that Cao Xi was only chatting with Li Feng. He secretly took Cao Xi's hand and squeezed it a few times, trying to distract Cao Xi.
Li Feng saw Qin Zhao's little move and raised his lips slightly, "Qin Zhao is still so clingy, like a child who hasn't grown up."
It's really annoying. He won't stop when he comes back and jumps around everywhere. Qin Zhao suppresses his anger and says, "I can't compare to you. I'm carefree. After all, I have a family."
Li Feng didn't quite understand, but he didn't dig into it.
Cao Xi moved the chair closer to Qin Zhao, and Li Feng's eyes darkened.
"Brother Li, please release the deed to my house..."
Li Feng interrupted Cao Xi and said, "There's no rush."
Qin Zhao took over Cao Xi's words and said, "That's not okay. Since you are back, the property must be returned to its original owner." With that said, Qin Zhao got up and went to Cao Xi's house to dig out the house deed.
Li Feng was shocked when he saw Qin Zhao entering Cao Xi's room unscrupulously.
"You live in the same room with him?"
"Brother Li is joking." Cao Xi refilled Li Feng's cup of tea.
Li Feng smiled gently and politely, "I was wrong."
Qin Zhao handed the house deed to Li Feng, "Cao Xi and I have slept on the same bed since we were young. Why don't you make a fuss about it? Now that I have made some money, is it too late to start paying attention to this?"
Li Feng originally felt that he had made a mistake, but now that Qin Zhao pointed it out, he was quite embarrassed. "Everyone speaks sharply."
"It's just a fact, how can it be said sharply?"
Cao Xi had a headache, and Qin Zhao was dissatisfied with Li Feng, which only increased as time went by.
Li Feng put away the house deed and took out the dried fruit he brought, "Try this. If you like it, I will bring more back next time I go to the Western Regions."
Li Feng pushed the dried fruit in front of Cao Xi. Cao Xi was surprised when he saw that it was pistachio.
Cao Xi picked up the pistachios, peeled off the shell, took out the fruit, and brought it to Qin Zhao's mouth, "Try it, this dried fruit is delicious."
The sudden feeding made Qin Zhao blush slightly. He glanced at Li Feng and quickly looked away, smiling.
It is indeed delicious to have a fragrant mouthfeel. Qin Zhao also imitated Cao Xi by removing the outer shell and feeding the fruit to Cao Xi's mouth.
“Eat it yourself”
Cao Xi didn't raise his head, still picking up the pistachios in his hand.
"Puch!" Li Feng looked at Qin Zhao who failed to feed him and couldn't help laughing.
As soon as he was relieved of the stuffiness he had just felt, the air around him became sweet.
Cao Xi didn't know why, and looked up at the two of them, "What's wrong?"
Li Feng held back his laughter and said, "It's okay. I remembered a little thing and couldn't help it."
Qin Zhao was laughed at, his eyes were full of resentment, and he stared at Cao Xi without saying a word. The pressure around his body became low. Cao Xi seemed to feel something and turned to look at him.
I'm a good boy. She understands this look in her eyes. Cao Xi's alarm bell sounded and she turned to Qin Zhao, "Qin Zhao, I want you to feed me."
Qin Zhao's eyes lit up, he picked up the dried fruit, took out the fruit, and fed it to Cao Xi's mouth.
In order to coax her, Cao Xi hurriedly opened her mouth to take it in. Unexpectedly, she leaned forward too much and the fruit was sucked into her mouth along with her fingers.
Boom, Qin Zhao blushed completely, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand, hiding his fingers in the palm of his hand, which was so hot.
Qin Zhao's eyes were wandering, and his heart was pounding. He used to be teased without outsiders, but now Cao Xi is getting more and more reluctant to restrain himself. How can he act like this in front of outsiders.
Qin Zhao suppressed the raised corners of his mouth, pursed his lips and thought, it would be better if Li Feng was not here. Thinking of this, Qin Zhao glared at Li Feng fiercely.
An eyesore.
Cao Xi was also embarrassed. Although he had teased Qin Zhao countless times, this time it was really unexpected.
Cao Xi picked up the teacup and drank in a panic to hide her embarrassment.
"Ahem!" Cao Xi accidentally choked because he drank so fast.
Li Feng didn't seem to notice their little actions, and still smiled like a spring breeze.
“You’re such a big man, you can still choke on water.”
Cao Xi did not dare to look at Li Feng, and there was an aura of embarrassment in the air.
Qin Zhao calmed down and said, "Brother Li didn't eat tonight, did he?"
Li Feng didn't think Qin Zhao had good intentions. He was obviously planning to attack someone.
Li Feng was too lazy to watch Qin Zhao's performance. He turned his attention to Cao Xi and smiled like the big brother next door.
"Do you have time in the evening? Buffalo and the others want to get together."
