Qin Yizhao's eyes became somewhat playful as he said a little proudly: "Can I understand that you're concerned about me?"
"Nope." Zhu Ruiyan answered without even thinking, but she immediately regretted it.
"A lie?" Qin Yizhao's eyes became sharp, his eagle-like eyes stared straight at Zhu Ruiyan, making her feel like his face was burning.
"It's concern." Zhu Ruiyan had no choice but to admit it.
"Alright then, you can stay home after the meal." Qin Yizhao slowly approached Zhu Ruiyan and breathed out the hot air beside his ear. His posture was a little ambiguous. Qin Yizhao said gently: "The weather forecast said that there will be snow tomorrow, so you will accompany me to sleep under the bed."
As Qin Yizhao spoke, he planted a gentle kiss on Zhu Ruiyan's ear, causing his face to immediately flush red. She quickly changed the subject, "The food is bad if it gets cold. Let's eat first."
Only then did Qin Yizhao reluctantly let go of Zhu Ruiyan, and the two of them started to enjoy the dinner for the two of them.
After dinner, Zhu Ruiyan cleaned up the dishes and went to the bathroom to take a bath before changing into her pajamas. She was used to sitting on the sofa and drying her hair.
Qin Yizhao lazily sat on the sofa. When he saw Zhu Ruiyan, he pointed to the seat beside him and then lightly said, "Sit over here."
Zhu Ruiyan was a little hesitant, but in the end, she unwillingly sat down beside Qin Yizhao. Qin Yizhao took a bath towel from Zhu Ruiyan's hands to help her wipe his hair.
Zhu Ruiyan felt it was a bit strange, she didn't understand why Qin Yizhao would suddenly ask this, but she could only answer honestly: "The cost of studying in Beijing is too high, my family doesn't have that expense. Furthermore, people like me who are not from any professional background might not even be able to pass the exam. "
Qin Yizhao felt pity for Zhu Ruiyan's reasoning. He said lightly: "It's a waste for you not to learn it."
"It's not as good as you say." Zhu Ruiyan was a little embarrassed: "I'm already very happy that you don't mind me listening to it. Furthermore, there are very few people who like opera right now, so I just feel that there's something strange about myself."
Qin Yizhao did not say anything and quickly wiped off Zhu Ruiyan's hair before putting the towel aside. Qin Yizhao looked at Zhu Ruiyan and ordered, "Sing a play for me."
"Now?" Zhu Ruiyan felt a little suspicious, Qin Yizhao's line of thinking had changed too quickly.
Qin Yizhao nodded slightly. He did not dare to look into Qin Yizhao's fiery eyes as he deliberately avoided his gaze. However, he was stopped by Qin Yizhao who turned her face towards him.
Zhu Ruiyan looked at Qin Yizhao in pain. "But how am I supposed to sing if you act like this?"
Qin Yizhao let go of Zhu Ruiyan, but his tone was cold: "You're not allowed to look elsewhere."
Zhu Ruiyan unhappily curled her lips and suddenly felt that Qin Yizhao was as capricious as a child. Zhu Ruiyan's line of sight landed on Qin Yizhao's face, clear enough that even his eyelashes could be seen clearly.
Looking at Zhu Ruiyan who was lost in thought, Qin Yizhao urged anxiously: "Why aren't you singing?"
Zhu Ruiyan was still not used to being so close, so she pointed to the sofa at the side and looked at Qin Yizhao timidly: "Can I go over there and sing?"
Qin Yizhao's expression sank, and smiled playfully. His lips were already touching Zhu Ruiyan's lips, but this time, they weren't touching the water lightly, but becoming more and more fierce. Only after a long while did he move away with some nostalgia, and then he coldly said, "What do you think?"
Zhu Ruiyan did not dare to speak. She continued, "If you still do not begin, my punishment will not only be a kiss." At this moment, Qin Yizhao's eyes had already become somewhat deep and distant.
Zhu Ruiyan's heart started to beat faster, she did her best to suppress the panic in her heart, and started to sing a song. She knew that if she hesitated any longer, Qin Yizhao's punishment would come.
Zhu Ruiyan nervously sang. Qin Yizhao's eyes were always staring at her red lips, his trembling lips were like a piece of sweet cream cake, making people want to take a taste. Before Zhu Ruiyan could finish her third line, Qin Yizhao's lips couldn't help but move towards her.
This time it was even more violent than before, and her tongue began to suck strongly on her tongue. Qin Yizhao forcefully waved and carried Zhu Ruiyan to his bedroom. Zhu Ruiyan was clearly a little flustered, she uneasily said: "Zhao, you …"
"Don't talk, I want you."
He had spent the night with her, and for a long time he had been unwilling to stop taking what he wanted from her.
The next day was Saturday. When Zhu Ruiyan woke up, her entire body was sore like that night again. Qin Yizhao's expression did not change, he did not put on any clothes, and directly walked to the bathroom. After taking a shower, he asked Zhu Ruiyan to bring his clothes over.
Yesterday, the shopping bags on the sofa was full of new clothes, and Qin Yizhao had also bought them for Zhu Ruiyan. Zhu Ruiyan couldn't help but feel inferior to the man in front of him. Why was there a woman who was even more beautiful than him?
She was touched. There had never been a man who could buy so many things for her. But when he thought of the deal with Qin Yizhao, he felt touched and helpless. "Ruyan knew that from this moment on she had become Qin Yizhao's lover, and this trade lasted until Qin Yizhao grew tired of her.
However, Zhu Ruiyan felt that that day would be soon, because Qin Yizhao had so many outstanding women by his side. It was unknown if he would lose interest in his in a few days time, but Zhu Ruiyan thought about the tall woman she saw that day outside Barfei's Feast.
However, Zhu Ruiyan also knew very well that the end of everything was not up to her to decide. It was as if she had already become an appendage of Qin Yizhao that could not even be decided by herself. Zhu Ruiyan's heart felt a trace of sadness and confusion.
It was still sunny in the morning, but it started to change around noon. As predicted by the weather forecast, it should have snowed in the afternoon.
Zhu Ruiyan suddenly thought that there were not many ingredients left in the fridge. If it snowed, these ingredients would become very expensive. Therefore, she quickly took her bag and was about to leave. She had to go and buy ingredients to fill the fridge before it snowed.
"What are you rushing to do?" Qin Yizhao asked with suspicion.
"I'm going to the market."
"Aren't there more dishes in the fridge?"
"But there aren't many left."
"Then we'll buy it after we finish eating." Qin Yizhao said lightly.
"No, the dishes will be much more expensive after the snow today." Zhu Ruiyan was anxious to explain everything so she could go out.
Qin Yizhao was startled. In his mind, these cheap dollars were not worth it for them to gather so many people for, so Qin Yizhao did not know what to say.
"Rest at home. I'll be right back." Zhu Ruiyan anxiously grabbed her keys and bag before she left the room. Qin Yizhao hurriedly put on her clothes and followed behind Zhu Ruiyan.
After Zhu Ruiyan left the district, he walked towards the market, with Qin Yizhao following closely behind. The market was much dirtier than the supermarkets. Zhu Ruiyan chose a lot of dishes, it seemed like she was preparing to store the food for a long time.
"Boss, isn't it cheaper if I buy more?" Zhu Ruiyan held up the big and small bags of chosen dishes and negotiated the price with the owner.
As Qin Yizhao watched from afar, he suddenly felt a tinge of pain in his heart. Zhu Ruiyan was not very old, but she looked like a housewife. She was frugal, could cook, and was a good woman living at home.
However, Zhu Ruiyan was different from other housewives. She even said to the stall owner, "It's good that you help me weigh the dishes enough. It's not easy for you to sell vegetables, you even need to support your family."
The stall owner really liked a girl like Zhu Ruiyan who was understanding people, so she smiled and said, "Alright, young lady. If you want to take care of business more often, I will consider it a bit cheaper."
"Thank you." Zhu Ruiyan smiled and nodded. Right when Zhu Ruiyan turned around, she once again returned in front of the artifact dealer, smiled, and said: "Boss, you found too much money for me."
The stall owner did indeed look for a lot of things, so Zhu Ruiyan returned the extra money back to the stall owner. This move could not help but move the booth owner, and also caused Qin Yizhao, who was standing not too far away, to slightly freeze.
The bag in Zhu Ruiyan's hand was carrying more and more of these, making it seem somewhat strenuous, but she still remembered that Qin Yizhao liked to eat ribs, so she had to buy some more.
"Boss, I want this pork chop, but I want to cut it open from here. I don't want this piece." Zhu Ruiyan seriously pointed at a piece of fresh ribs.
"Girl, you have really good eyes. This is a top quality stew dish. If you ask for it like that, then the rest of it won't be sold." The stall owner looked at Zhu Ruiyan with difficulty.
"Boss, why don't I give you a dollar per kilogram? If you still don't want it, then I don't want it." Zhu Ruiyan deftly bargained with the vendor.
"Alright, it's hard to do business these days, so I'll sell it to you." The stall owner was clearly unwilling, but he could only helplessly sigh.
Qin Yizhao looked at this scene from afar, the expression in his eyes becoming more profound. A girl as delicate and petite as Zhu Ruiyan actually came to the market and haggled with the vendors. However, her words were especially pleasant to hear, not as domineering and tyrannical as those ordinary housewives.
Zhu Ruiyan was not greedy for cheap money, even if the stall owner found more, they would still return it to him. It was not difficult to tell from these small movements that Zhu Ruiyan had a high level of training, and that her family's education should be good. After weighing the ribs, the stall owner said, "Forty-nine yuan. Let's make an integer that's fifty yuan."
After saying that, the stall owner cut some lean meat and put it together with the ribs. Zhu Ruiyan looked at the ribs with a pained expression. This was so expensive. If her pitiful salary wasn't in order to repay Qin Yizhao for cooking such delicious food for him, she would definitely not be willing to buy such good stuff.
Just as Zhu Ruiyan took out fifty yuan from her pocket to give to the vendor, a familiar voice came from beside her. "Boss, I'll give you the money."
Zhu Ruiyan turned her body in shock and saw Qin Yizhao standing at the side. Qin Yizhao had already passed the fifty yuan to the vendor. Qin Yizhao took the rib bone from the owner's hand and then said lightly: "Come with me."
Zhu Ruiyan was a little surprised by Qin Yizhao's sudden appearance, and could only obediently follow him towards the seafood region. Zhu Ruiyan muttered in her heart: Qin Yizhao can't be thinking of eating seafood, right?
