Chapter 3215: Saving Zero Protein Bai Ze's Love Record 16

Yi Qi finally put down the knife, pressed his knees against both sides of Bai Ze's chair, held him against the edge of the table, and began to savor the delicious dish prepared by the chef.

This tasting was unlike that night before, almost a leisurely enjoyment.

He earnestly, wholeheartedly savored the meticulously cooked delicacy.

Bai Ze lowered his gaze to the dish, then… felt embarrassed to let Yi Qi eat a bit faster.

The nature of cheese and how to eat it make it tastier the higher the cooking temperature.

Bai Ze seemed to become like that as well.

The cheese sauce and warm bread were practically a human slow‑food bowl!

Yi Qi also gave Bai Ze a troubled look.

"Brother, this cheese sauce is so hard to resist."

Bai Ze: "……"

He didn't want to hear it anymore, afraid he wouldn't be able to face cheese sauce in the future.

He could only close his eyes, and instead, because of Yi Qi's seemingly innocent complaint, he felt even more……

From body to soul, every cell melted in the heat.

But the chaotic thoughts and bad memories in his mind all vanished at this moment, as if evaporated by this high heat, leaving nothing to recall or even think about.

This made Bai Ze feel an unprecedented lightness.

He dazedly and muddledly embraced Yi Qi's shoulders, even becoming somewhat obsessed with this feeling.

It felt as if their flesh and blood were truly entwined, never to separate again.

After a long, long, long time.

Yi Qi was very satisfied after the tasting and wanted to say thank you for the hospitality!

Bai Ze could only lean back in the chair to rest; his cold brows and eyes now showed some weariness.

Yi Qi smacked his lips contentedly, then returned to his seat.

He had spent the day out playing wildly on his motorcycle, expending a lot of energy; although the tasting had given him great mental satisfaction, his stomach was still hungry.

As the saying goes, only when fed and warm can one think of that; his top priority now was to fill his stomach.

So Yi Qi began eating a proper dinner again.

The steak was cooked to perfection—crispy outside, tender inside—juices flowing when cut; although it had cooled a bit, Yi Qi cut a piece, put it in his mouth, and still squinted his eyes in satisfaction.

Bai Ze leaned back in the chair to rest, taking a long while to recover from the dizziness. He lowered his gaze to look at himself; his apron was already a mess.

He even clearly felt a subtle discomfort from being bitten, and, somewhat troubled, lightly pressed on it.

Yi Qi chewed a mouthful of steak, caught a glimpse of Bai Ze's movement out of the corner of his eye, and almost choked on that big mouthful of beef.

"What are you doing!"

His gaze again uncontrollably stuck to him—what's the difference between this and a seductive lure?

Bai Ze released his hand, lazily propping his head up to look at him, the corners of his mouth hinting at a smile, indulgent yet slightly annoyed: "Yi Qi, are you still a little Bao Bao?"

Yi Qi: "……"

"Tsk! Provoking me!"

He put down his knife and fork, rose with a fierce aura, walked around the table toward Bai Ze.

Bai Ze saw this, his smile froze for a moment—he didn't want to be eaten again; that previous meal had already been enough to tide him over for a while.

His voice carried a hint of rare panic: "... No, wait a moment, Xiao Qi!"

Before he finished speaking, Yi Qi had already leaned in, bent forward, and planted a loud, deliberate smack on Bai Ze's lip corner, then sucked in slightly before pulling back satisfied.

Bai Ze's ear tips turned red again from that loud kiss, his pupils flickered, he pressed his lips together, and said nothing.

Yi Qi snorted triumphantly twice, walked back to his seat with the stride of a victor, picked up his knife and fork to keep cutting the steak, the corners of his mouth turned up so high they couldn't be pressed down.

——

A few days later.

Yi Qi felt his gap with Claire was narrowing, so a race about him defending his title as the Didu racing king was about to take place on the mountain loop road in the suburbs of Yunlin Mountain.

The club of the rich heirs lacked no money; it had everything a proper race should have—banners, timing equipment, medical team, and even drone aerial photography.

Wang Tu made a big scene, inviting half of Didu's young masters and misses to watch the race; colorful flags lined the track, a viewing platform was set up at the start line, and there were plenty of professional racers.

Yi Qi attached great importance to this race, starting to mutter about it from the day he heard the news.

His sole goal was to beat Claire in the official race; for this, he went to the club to run laps more frequently than before, sometimes practicing for half a day, returning completely covered in dust.

Jin Chen then commented, "Like a dirty puppy that comes home after playing wildly."

——

A few days before the race, Yi Qi returned to Jin Manor.

Jin Chen sat in the living room scrolling through information on the terminal; hearing footsteps, he looked up and saw Yi Qi dash in from the door, still wearing his coat, plopping straight onto the sofa opposite him, hands braced on his knees, striking a pose that said he had an important announcement to make.

"Big brother!"

Jin Chen raised his head, glanced at him, quite wary: "... Little brother, what brings you?"

Yi Qi cleared his throat, eagerly looking at his cheap older brother, "The Yunlin Mountain road race—come watch? I'm so awesome, you can't miss seeing my championship moment!"

Jin Chen pondered for a few seconds, set down his documents, "Just wait a moment."

Yi Qi: "…… Hmm?"

He left Yi Qi waiting downstairs and went back to the study.

Jin Chen reopened the terminal, pulled up the script, quickly skimmed through it, and found the section corresponding to this race.

In the original plot line, this race was an important turning point; Yi Qi had an accident during the race, suffered serious injuries, triggering a chain of events that drove him further from Bai Ze and deepened the misunderstanding.

There's also a villain stirring up trouble in the plot!

Good, now he has no choice but to go.

Jin Chen shook his head after looking at it, feeling pressured, turned off the terminal, went downstairs, and returned to Yi Qi's side.

Yi Qi tilted his head to look at him, as if waiting for a definite answer.

"I can go." Jin Chen said, "But I will prepare the racing suit for you."

Yi Qi was stunned for a moment, then he felt a bit moved.

"Is this what brotherly love feels like?"

"Cheap Dage actually cares about him this much, even personally preparing the racing suit—this feeling is earth‑shaking!"

Jin Chen responded leisurely, also patted his hair, narrowed his eyes, and said, "No."

"I have never trusted your taste, and you represent the Jin Family's image."

"If we pick an explosive rainbow color, what will we do!"

"Yi Qi: "……" So annoying!"
