Chapter 8: Qing Qing Xukong Wanted to Live an Ordinary Life

Qing Qing Xukong wanted to live an ordinary life.

Sunlight streamed through the window into the room, forming patches of light of various shapes on the floor, while the chirping of birds came from outside.

Qing Qing Xukong sat up from the bed, yawned, reached out to pick up the mobile phone on the bedside table, and looked at the screen which displayed one unread message.

Qing Qing Xukong opened the mobile phone chat software, recognized the owner of the message, and began to reply.

"School is about to start soon, I haven't seen you; did you go hide away in some deep mountain forest?"

The sender's contact name was Mocheng, one of the few people Qing Qing Xukong considered a friend. Qing Qing Xukong thought for a few seconds before replying.

"No."

After replying to the message, Qing Qing Xukong began to worry about his safety again; at home it was fine, Ling Yu and Yan could protect him, but what should he do when he went to school? He couldn't possibly stay at home until the danger passed, could he?

"I'll ask them about it then."

After a simple wash, Qing Qing Xukong walked toward the living room on the first floor, but he clearly heard some strange sounds; he silently prayed in his heart that nothing troublesome would happen.

Qing Qing Xukong stood on the stairs, looking carefully toward the living room; at the table was Yan, holding a newspaper, with a cup of coffee by his hand; unlike the suit he wore yesterday, today he wore a simple white shirt and looked like an ordinary employee.

Qing Qing Xukong shifted his gaze toward the source of the sound and discovered that a certain deity was wearing only a top, with only a pair of underwear below, hugging a cushion while sitting on the sofa watching anime. Did the my lord lack the proper sense of shame? Qing Qing Xukong struggled to control himself from thinking wildly, but he was also a young man; to say he wasn't curious about the opposite sex at all would certainly be a lie. Qing Qing Xukong cautiously glanced at Ling Yu from the corner of his eye and found she wasn't paying attention to him, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Would you like some coffee?"

"No, thank you."

"By the way, do you two eat breakfast?"

"No need, I've already made some; if you don't mind, you can eat a little."

Qing Qing Xukong felt somewhat surprised; this guy who looked like a high-level executive of some company actually knew how to cook?

Qing Qing Xukong walked toward the kitchen, saw a plate upside down on the table, and after lifting the plate, found a breakfast inside.

"Quite thoughtful," Qing Qing Xukong thought.

The breakfast was simple fried eggs with bread, thoughtfully accompanied by a cup of milk; for Qing Qing Xukong, who was used to convenience store mornings, this was already a rare delicacy.

The doneness of the fried eggs was handled very well; what surprised Qing Qing Xukong was that the yolk was runny, just as he liked it; the bread was slightly browned, emitting the sweet scent of butter; the milk was hot, and if he smelled carefully, it seemed to have a hint of honey. Perhaps this guy would be quite suitable as a butler, Qing Qing Xukong thought.

"Won't Ling Yu eat?" Qing Qing Xukong asked.

"For us, food is not a necessity but merely a hobby; I've long grown tired of what that guy Yan makes," a lazy voice came from the living room.

"What a rude fellow," Yan said while drinking his coffee.

"If you don't mind, I'll cook next time, as a thank-you gift for you protecting me?" Qing Qing Xukong inquired.

"Oh my, young man, that tactic is too old-fashioned; if you like me, you can just say it directly; as long as you have a need, you can find me anytime," a certain deity said proudly.

It seemed that not only did a certain deity lack a sense of shame, but he also lacked basic moral standards; truly a headache-inducing target.

"Won't it cause you trouble? To be honest, I'm already very grateful that you let us stay here," Yan said.

It seemed there was still a normal person, or perhaps a normal deity, in this place, Qing Qing Xukong thought.

"However, there are still some things to do today; Qing Qing Xukong, you must go out with Ling Yu today," Yan said.

"Mm, okay. What? I absolutely have to... have to go out with this guy?!"

"Oh my, oh my, young man, are you shy? Or do you say that whenever you're with me, you can't control the beastly desires in your heart and are afraid you'll... in the middle of the street?"

"Why... why do I absolutely have to be with this guy!" Qing Qing Xukong cried out almost in despair.
