Chapter 184 The Canary Raised by the Overlord (46)
"Need not."
As soon as Lin Yi withdrew his foot, Cheng Qiqi pressed him onto the electric oven.
He suddenly felt that the legs on the rack were like skewers. The heating principle was similar, both electrodes were used to roast things, but the temperature was the only factor that limited whether his legs would be roasted or not.
As a local, Cheng Qiqi laughed at Lin Yi, a foreigner, without any hesitation.
"This thing is much more powerful than an air conditioner. If the temperature is right, you can even sleep in it. It's absolutely comfortable."
Lin Yi looked at the densely packed electrode tubes below and felt as if he was lying in an oven in a funeral home. It was physically uncomfortable and unacceptable.
"You went home for winter break and slept here?"
"Yeah." Cheng Qiqi came over with a smile, grabbed Lin Yi's hand and put it under the quilt. "It will be warm in a while. By then, you don't even need to wear a down jacket. Just wear an inner layer and sleep in it for a night. I guarantee you will go home comfortably the next day without catching a cold."
Customs and habits vary from place to place. Although Lin Yi cannot understand them, he can accept them.
He stretched out his hand and put it around his waist, and Cheng Qiqi snuggled into his arms.
Facing the TV, the two began to chat casually.
"Hey, don't turn it off. I just want to watch a cartoon for a while."
It just so happened that Golden Eagle Cartoons was broadcasting "The Prince of Tennis". Cheng Qiqi started watching it in junior high school, and seeing it now brought back some nostalgic memories.
He stared at the TV intently and suddenly laughed out loud. "When I was a kid, I didn't think the lines were childish, but now I hear them, so embarrassing."
Lin Yi did not reply, because he had also followed these animations. But when dreams became reality and sports became a profession, watching these animations again was a little uncomfortable.
In reality, there are only a bunch of brothers who train so hard every day that they have no time to fall in love or show off.
Only novels and animations can intensify conflicts and make everyday life as ordinary as water fulfilling and happy.
"Hey, husband. Which character do you like? The protagonist or Fuji?"
Lin Yi pointed at the captain wearing glasses. "This is it."
"Tezuka, he's quite handsome." Cheng Qiqi stole a glance at Lin Yi, and the magnified facial features gradually became clear in his world.
Her husband is not bad looking either, he can become a star with the clothes he wears.
If he wears a pair of glasses, he will definitely be the representative of abstinence.
Just a glance from her could break his legs.
"Are you nearsighted?"
Lin Yi's lips curled slightly. "Why, you want me to wear a whole pair of glasses too?"
"If you are not nearsighted, I will give you a pair of plain glasses."
Cheng Qiqi's hand touched his face. With the glasses, he looked like an elite, abstinent, overbearing CEO, with a sense of distance.
It's better to keep it simple now. Cheng Qiqi introduced Lin Yi as Senior Bai Yueguang. He is very friendly, so it must be good to kiss him.
If we weren't at home, he would definitely hook his arm around my neck and kiss me.
What a pity...Alas.
Cheng Qiqi whispered: "When can we go back to our little home? I want to fly back directly now."
"You came back to spend time with me instead of your parents?"
"My mom has my dad, and there's a generation gap between me and them when I communicate."
Lin Yi remembered that Cheng Qiqi was eight years younger than him, so there should be a generation gap between them.
As soon as he said it, he was strongly opposed. "Mr. Lin, you are still young, where is the generation gap? If there is one, it is someone else's, not my fault."
"Love-brained people do nothing but love all day long." Lin Yi scolded with a stern face. "Have you finished your homework?"
"Ah, no." Cheng Qiqi lowered her head and whispered, "How can I think about doing my homework when I see you? I haven't been to class for several days."
That's true. If I continue like this, my studies will be ruined.
Lin Yi twisted his face and said, "Study hard. If you fail the final exam, I will punish you before your parents can send you to mixed doubles."
"No way." Cheng Qiqi raised his chin and said complacently: "After all, I am also a student from our department with a scholarship, so how can my academic performance be so bad?"
Lin Yi made a timely response. "If you don't get the scholarship at the end of the semester, go home and finish your homework."
"No." Cheng Qiqi pouted. "You can't restrict me. I want to live with you."
“It’s going to be a busy day ahead.”
Lin Yi rubbed his head and explained patiently. "The year-end is approaching and we can't finish reviewing the reports. After we go back, we will have to work overtime every day. If you can't wait and feel lonely, you can go back to school and live with your classmates."
"No." Cheng Qiqi took his arm and said, "I will stay with you no matter how late it is. I want to share the good and bad times with you."
Lin Yi laughed in silence and did not take Cheng Qiqi's assurance seriously.
That night, the two were separated by Cheng's mother.
One sleeps in the bedroom and the other sleeps in the living room.
Lin Yi looked at the red quilt that looked very old, and the curve of his lips could not be suppressed.
After thanking Cheng's mother for her kindness, he replied to some work-related text messages, took a shower, and went to bed early.
Living in someone else's house, Lin Yi couldn't sleep.
I lay in bed most of the night, tossing and turning, but couldn't fall asleep.
Just as I was finally feeling a little sleepy, I heard light footsteps.
As a result, before Lin Yi could do anything, the thief sneakily opened the door and climbed onto his bed in the dark.
Smelling the familiar scent of perfume, Lin Yi held back his laughter and took the little thief into his arms.
Cheng Qiqi was startled, and only realized it when Lin Yi stuffed him into the bed that Lin Yi was not asleep at all, but was just waiting for him.
He was angry and embarrassed, so he punched him in the chest with his fist. But he was afraid that he would really hurt him, so he rubbed his chest and asked. "Does it hurt?"
Lin Yi touched his hand and placed it on his lips and kissed it. "It hurts. It will only get better if someone takes the initiative to kiss you."
"Hubby, you're so bad." Cheng Qiqi rolled her eyes at him. Fortunately, she couldn't see clearly in the dark, so she hugged his arm as usual and gave him a sweet kiss.
The two kissed passionately, which made Cheng Qiqi's little bed suffer.
It made a creaking sound even after a not-so-violent shaking.
The old neighborhood had poor sound insulation, so Lin Yi held him tightly in his arms for fear of disturbing the neighbors downstairs. The two of them squeezed into a small bed, keeping each other warm.
"Honey, I'm really touched."
Being able to sleep with him in her own little bed was something Cheng Qiqi never dared to dream of.
Given his position, he was content to be able to do so much for himself.
Even if they will drift apart in the future, at least at this moment, he cherishes this hard-earned affection.
"Hubby, tell me what a rich man's wife should learn. I will definitely learn it well."
Cheng Qiqi wanted to stay with him, no matter how hard she tried or how much she had to compromise.
As long as Lin Yi treated him well as he did today, he would be happy to do anything.
"You don't need to learn."
Cheng Qiqi hung her head and sighed. "You don't want to marry me."
Not getting a response, tears started to well up in his eyes again.
Lin Yi was startled and said hurriedly: "Don't cry, how can I bully you in your home?"
"You are just bullying me." Cheng Qiqi became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. "You don't even want to marry me. Woohoo, you won't let me learn."
He now understood why Lin Yi's cousin Lin Pianyue said so much to him. Sometimes men are really not as reliable as women.
Lin Pianyue truly treats him as her sister-in-law, which is why she persuaded him to learn with such bitter words.
Lin Yi is not like that. Lin Yi just wants him to be his little lover.
Of course, the little lover doesn’t need to learn what the mistress of the house learns.
