Chapter 179: A Rainy Morning

In the early morning, the scenery outside the window was misty, and the pattering sound of rain could be heard through the glass.

Ye Qingfeng didn't know when he fell asleep last night, but a sharp pain struck, causing him to wake up with a start.

Subconsciously, he turned his head to look in that direction. With the help of the faint light, he could barely see that Ailian's head was pressed against his shoulder, her eyes closed tightly but her mouth wide open.

The opening and closing motion caused her teeth to bite lightly on him; it might have been an unconscious action, and she couldn't control the force.

Ye Qingfeng didn't even look; he had already guessed that his shoulder must be red over a large area.

Regardless of anything else, he reached out and pressed on Ailian's cheek, pushing her away with force.

Her head tilted smoothly and fell onto the pillow. Perhaps feeling that something was missing, she smacked her lips with slight dissatisfaction.

She made a cute "gurgle gurgle" sound.

Ye Qingfeng climbed up, feeling listless, and was surprised to find a pair of arms still hanging on him. He glanced at Ailian, who was sleeping sweetly, and wore a helpless smile.

He turned his head to check the condition of his shoulder.

Just as Ye Qingfeng expected, two rows of tooth marks were clearly visible, and most importantly, that area was almost covered in saliva.

Recalling that Ailian slept on her side and kept her mouth open, saliva would definitely flow out along the corners of her mouth.

He vaguely remembered when he first met Ailian; at that time, she was like a white moonlight in his heart, pure, innocent, and cute. And now?

Not to mention her lazy personality, which meant that most of the time, she would rather lie down than sit, and sit rather than stand.

Now, she calls him for everything, and is even too lazy to walk...

Thinking of this, Ye Qingfeng turned his head to look at Ailian. Her large body was curled up together, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and a few strands of hair scattered and hung on her cheeks.

"Hehehe..."

The next second, without warning, she reached out and scratched her smooth, flat lower abdomen. Not knowing what she dreamed of, she let out bursts of silly laughter.

Yet it unexpectedly appeared honest and cute.

Ye Qingfeng couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.

With a faint smile, he gently covered Ailian with the quilt, and only then did he drag his poorly rested body out of bed.

He gently closed the bedroom door and took out his phone to check the time.

New Eridu Time — 5:43 AM

Ye Qingfeng didn't expect it to be so early, and not in a hurry to cook, he turned and walked into the bathroom to take a cold shower.

After coming out of the bathroom, he didn't feel as listless as when he first woke up. After wiping his hair until it was half-dry and no longer dripping water,

He walked into the kitchen, put on an apron, and began to prepare breakfast and Ailian's lunch.

New Eridu Time — 6:36 AM

Ye Qingfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking at the nutritionally balanced breakfast, and a sense of pride welled up in his heart.

Beside it was a lunch box containing a carefully prepared lunch.

Rainy days really go best with cooking; he felt his culinary skills had improved quite a bit.

Just as he was admiring this masterpiece, a shout reached his ears.

"Qing~feng! I'm so hungry! Is breakfast ready?"

As soon as Ailian woke up, she felt her waist wasn't sore and her shoulders weren't painful; she felt like she had returned to eighteen years old.

No! She seemed to have just turned eighteen~!

This was something that couldn't be helped. Because of her tail, she couldn't lie flat to sleep, and lying on her stomach was uncomfortable, so what else could she do?

Therefore, her waist had no support, which often led to soreness.

The same went for her shoulders; she carried huge fruits every day, so whose shoulders wouldn't be sore?

But this morning, when she opened her eyes in a daze, she was rarely full of vitality, energetic, and her body felt much lighter.

The bad news was that her stomach was already growling with hunger; she felt she could eat a whole fish in one bite.

The good news was that a tempting scent was drifting in the air.

She raised her head and sniffed toward the door, and the hunger became even more intense. She threw off the quilt, sat up, and ran out without even wearing shoes, sprinting straight to the kitchen.

Ye Qingfeng had only heard the sound for four or five seconds before he heard the rapid footsteps behind him. When he turned his head, he saw Ailian's little head.

"Your little nose is quite sharp!"

Ye Qingfeng looked at Ailian's expectant eyes and couldn't help but laugh, reaching out to tidy up her messy hair. "Go wash up first, then eat."

"Okay~"

Ailian agreed reluctantly and turned to run toward the bathroom.

Ye Qingfeng watched her running back, only then noticing she was barefoot. He sighed helplessly and shouted at her, "Go put on your slippers first!"

"Got it."

Ye Qingfeng saw her obediently turn and run back to the room, and only then did he turn to carry the plates of breakfast to the living room.

After she finished washing up, the two sat opposite each other to enjoy breakfast.

Ailian finished first and ran back to the room to change into her student uniform. When she came out, the whole person seemed to have changed.

If she leaned toward the feeling of a homebody when she was at home, now she really had the feeling of a youthful high school girl.

It must be said that the saying "people rely on clothes" is really true.

After she finished tidying up, Ye Qingfeng waited at the door with two umbrellas. Just as he was about to go out, she suddenly extended her hand without warning, palm up toward him.

"What are you doing?"

Ye Qingfeng tilted his head and asked in confusion.

"500,000 Denny, maintenance fee!"

Ailian replied righteously.

"Wait, no? If you want it, just ask! Can't you be a bit more subtle?"

Seeing Ailian's matter-of-fact look, Ye Qingfeng's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he took 200,000 Denny from his pocket and slapped it into her hand.

"I only brought this much, I'll give you the rest in a few days. You make it sound like I owe you Denny."

Ailian giggled and put away the Denny. She didn't refute, naturally hooking her arm into Ye Qingfeng's, and opened the door with her other hand.

"Let's go, you hold the umbrella, I'll play on my phone for a while."

"Alright, alright~ I give up."

The two walked out of the residential building side by side. Ye Qingfeng saw the light drizzle and suddenly his heart skipped a beat; he had a bad premonition.

"Are we not going yet? We're going to be late." Ailian held her phone with both hands, her fingers tapping rapidly on the screen, and said without looking up, "Remember to ask for leave for me."

"You think too beautifully!"

Ye Qingfeng glared at her unhappily, opened the umbrella, and took Ailian all the way to school.

On the way, he inadvertently saw Ailian's phone screen; the page was Taobao, and she was happily clearing her shopping cart.

He didn't say anything more; after all, she's a girl~

That's all the hobbies she has. He silently moved the umbrella a little toward Ailian's side, while also having to take care of this "head-down tribe" member, dodging and weaving through the crowd.

Finally, he managed to deliver Ailian to the school gate just in time.

"Here, take the umbrella. Who knows if it will rain when school is over."

Ye Qingfeng stuffed the other umbrella into Ailian's hand, then handed the umbrella he was holding to her, leaned down, and instructed gently:

"Don't sleep in class. If you're really too sleepy, find an excuse to go to the infirmary and lie down to sleep, otherwise you'll still be sleepy in the next class..."

Ailian: Why didn't I think of that? Genius!!!? (??????????????)?

Ye Qingfeng was like a father watching his daughter leave, leaning down to tidy up Ailian's clothes, chattering on and on. ===== CHAPTER 180 =====
