Chapter 611 - 369: Love (Normal Updates Resumed)_2

"Yes, you’re right, hmm, I think the same way!"

Li Peifeng pulled himself together to deal with it. After dinner ended, he packed up and left.

But when he reached the door, he found Zhao Qingge already changed her shoes and holding car keys, saying, "I’ll drive you home."

"Okay."

"Drive safely."

Li Xin reminded her, then whispered to her daughter, "Come back early."

"Got it."

They went downstairs and got into the car.

The two were silent all the way. The car entered the Jade District, stopped downstairs, and Li Peifeng felt Zhao Qingge’s reluctance. He then comforted her, "How about I move back after your mom leaves tomorrow?"

"Forget it."

Zhao Qingge shook her head lightly, "It’s too much trouble."

Li Peifeng turned around, kissed Zhao Qingge’s cheek, and said tenderly, "As long as you want to live with me, I don’t mind the trouble."

After being kissed, Zhao Qingge turned her head as if avoiding his gaze, looked out the window with a smile in her eyes, "Then you should come over and cook for me these days."

"..."

"You can come at lunchtime until school starts, and leave after you make dinner."

Isn’t that turning me into your hired nanny, doing three meals a day, only responsible for the meals but not staying over? What for?!

Li Peifeng felt quite discontent but didn’t show it, remaining silent.

"What’s wrong?"

Zhao Qingge turned her head, the smile in her eyes disappeared, and her brows furrowed with scrutiny, "Didn’t you say it so nicely just now? Saying you wouldn’t mind any trouble for me, but now you’re silent when I ask you to cook? Is that mouth of yours good for anything else besides lying?"

"You’re well aware of the other uses of this mouth!"

Li Peifeng’s gaze swept to Zhao Qingge’s casual pants below, making her recall that day when Li Peifeng pounced on her like a starving tiger... Her face instantly flushed slightly, and she bit her lip, "Where are you looking?!"

"Can’t I look at places I’ve eaten before?"

"Shut up, no... nothing happened!" Zhao Qingge was extremely annoyed, and then worried that Li Peifeng might get too aggressive, quickly scolding, "Stop changing the subject. Are you going to cook for me or not?"

"What attitude? Am I your servant?"

Li Peifeng pursed his lips, "It’s easy for you to say. If I agree, I won’t be able to write my book properly for these few days. I’d have to take the bus to your place like going to work every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and you won’t even let me stay over after cooking, and you won’t even wash a dish for me. Why should I? Just because I like you?"

"You!"

Zhao Qingge’s face turned even redder, but this was because she was angry, her eyes widened in disbelief at how shameless Li Peifeng could be to say such things, "You’re the one who said you’d endure any trouble for me, so I..."

Li Peifeng interrupted, "If I cook for you, what would you do for me in return?"

"Me?"

Zhao Qingge felt something was off, sensing that Li Peifeng was playing tricks, but for a moment didn’t know what to say, giving Li Peifeng an opportunity.

"You won’t even wash dishes for me. Is it too much for me to cook and you to wash dishes?"

"Shut up! If you cook, I’ll wash the dishes, okay?"

Zhao Qingge decisively agreed, but Li Peifeng was not satisfied, "I had to bring it up first. You didn’t even think about it. You never know how to put yourself in another’s shoes!"

Zhao Qingge sneered, "You’re quite good at it, switching perspectives and picking at these trivial matters. Xu Manning says you’re petty as a woman, and it’s not unjustified..."

"I’m not picking on you. From beginning to end, I’m just asking for your attitude."

Li Peifeng ended his nonsense, looking serious, "Let’s carefully think about the details between us. Do you treat me more like a student or a boyfriend?"

"Even after so many shared dreams, even though we’re so close, you still treat me as a student, still act as a mentor in front of me."

"Honestly, it’s putting a lot of pressure on me. Sometimes I don’t even know whether to address you as ’you’ or ’you,’ whether to call you ’wife’ or ’mentor.’ This misalignment of roles makes both of us uncomfortable and also makes our relationship unhealthy."

"Speaking of teachers and students, it’s a superior-subordinate relationship where the teacher is the leader and the student follows. But it’s different for partners; partners are equals and respect each other... In short, the way we interact now is completely distorted!"

Zhao Qingge was silent for a moment and then said softly, "You feel pressured being with me, but you’re comfortable with them?"

Reversed!

"..."

Li Peifeng didn’t respond immediately. A cold gleam flashed in Zhao Qingge’s eyes, "Our relationship is distorted, but your relationship with them is normal?"

Darn, Old Zhao learned to use magic to beat magic!

"I didn’t mean that..."

"Whatever."

Zhao Qingge’s tone didn’t fluctuate, "If you’re not comfortable, then we shouldn’t be together. That’s just how I am."

That’s just how you are; stubborn. You, the champion of the Twelfth Obstinate Spirit Cup Obstinate Person Competition!

Looking at Zhao Qingge sitting in the driver’s seat, arms crossed, emanating a cold aura, Li Peifeng was at a loss. He thought for a moment, then slowly reached out to grab the small hand tucked under her arm.

"Don’t touch me!"

As soon as Li Peifeng touched the back of her hand, it was like pressing a button. The expressionless Zhao Qingge turned fierce and stern, catching his hand and twisting it away.

"Li Peifeng, if you touch me again, don’t blame me for being rude!"

"Will you call the police?"

"Let go!"

Zhao Qingge’s attitude worsened, even fighting back, using her round yet slightly sharp fingernails to scratch Li Peifeng’s hand twice, then seemingly intending to attack his face.
