Chapter 816: Chapter 0817: Really Enjoying This Kind of Life

After taking a shower, Liu Xia came downstairs wearing a simple nightgown. Living in a place like this, Liu Xia felt that her clothes didn’t quite match the environment.

Except for the dress Ye Qiu had bought her, her usual outfits were either the uniforms issued by the 4S shop where she worked or regular clothes purchased online.

When Liu Xia saw Ye Qiu and Xiao Hong sitting there watching movies and drinking beverages, she came down and asked, "Where’d you get the drinks?"

"Bought them downstairs. From now on, when you guys get off work, you can grab groceries downstairs and cook. It’s super convenient."

Ye Qiu responded.

Large residential complexes like this one had better security, a nicer environment, and more comprehensive facilities than most other places.

After Liu Xia sat down next to Ye Qiu, she asked, "Do you want anything to drink?"

"Water is fine for me."

Liu Xia got up to grab a hot water pot to boil some water. She had brought the pot with her; it was relatively new. Mainly, she didn’t want to drink beverages at night for fear of being unable to fall asleep.

When she returned to the sofa, Ye Qiu noticed that after her shower, Liu Xia had a lingering, subtle fragrance about her.

"In the past, I could only watch movies or dramas on my phone. Now there’s such a big TV, and I can lie down and watch every day."

Xiao Hong said happily.

She loved watching Korean dramas the most, but due to her previous circumstances, she could only watch them on her phone.

"Don’t you have to work?"

Xiao Hong asked.

"Of course, I’ll watch after work!"

...

It was half past ten at night when Ye Qiu prepared to head upstairs to find a room to rest in. As he climbed the stairs, Liu Xia followed him, leaving Xiao Hong to watch TV on her own.

Liu Xia reminded Xiao Hong to go to bed earlier and not stay up too late, especially since Xiao Hong had to work the next day.

Upstairs, especially in the rooftop garden, sitting on the rattan chair while a gentle breeze blew through was incredibly relaxing.

Ye Qiu sat in the rattan chair and, seeing Liu Xia come up after him, said, "Come on, sit here."

"Can two people fit on this chair?"

"Yes, they can."

Liu Xia’s face flushed slightly, but she walked over anyway and sat next to Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu directly pulled her onto his lap. With a light push, the rattan chair began to rock gently, like a swing.

Leaning against Ye Qiu’s chest, Liu Xia gazed at the distant scenery. She enjoyed every bit of this moment, yet she was also afraid—as though this might all just be a dream, or worse, that it might be taken away from her at any moment.

But she reminded herself that this was real, solidly real.

By eleven o’clock, Liu Xia was feeling sleepy.

Ye Qiu still needed to return to his room to continue cultivating the "Primordial Five Emperors Technique." He gently carried Liu Xia to her room and, looking at her, said, "Goodnight."

Ye Qiu left the room and went to another one. He closed the door and opened the window. Moonlight poured in directly through the open window.

With no rain or heavy clouds, as Ye Qiu recited the mnemonic verses of the "Primordial Five Emperors Technique," the Moonlight Essence continuously streamed in, entering his meridians and transforming into a flow of Spiritual Energy. This Spiritual Energy then gathered into True Qi and was stored in his Dantian.

By the time Ye Qiu opened his eyes again, it was already past seven in the morning.

Ye Qiu hadn’t realized how quickly time had flown. Over the course of the night, he had cultivated a substantial amount of Spiritual Energy and True Qi. Perhaps the room’s location was advantageous, being on the rooftop, with no nearby structures blocking the moonlight or sunlight.

Originally, Ye Qiu had intended to continue cultivating, but then he remembered he needed to drive Liu Xia to her company. So, he got up, dressed, and went out to wash up. When he went downstairs, he found Xiao Hong still sleeping soundly on the sofa, wearing the same nightgown.

Last night, Xiao Hong had stayed up watching TV until past one in the morning. She had been too tired to go to her room and had fallen asleep on the incredibly comfortable sofa instead.

Liu Xia, on the other hand, had woken up around six and gone downstairs to buy some breakfast before coming back to prepare it.

When Liu Xia saw that Ye Qiu was up, she asked, "Awake? Breakfast is almost ready."

Liu Xia had prepared a simple meal of lean pork congee, along with store-bought fried dough sticks and soy milk, which she placed on the dining table.

"Should we wake up Xiao Hong?"

"No need," Liu Xia replied.

She planned to leave the lean pork congee in the kitchen to keep warm. When Xiao Hong woke up later, it would still be hot.

After hanging her apron on a hook in the kitchen, Liu Xia came out and sat down with Ye Qiu to have breakfast together.

She found this kind of life truly wonderful, and she liked it very much. She asked, "Will you come over again tonight?"

"I’ll see," Ye Qiu responded casually.

If there was nothing urgent, he’d come over. But Ye Qiu couldn’t always stay to keep Liu Xia company—he had other matters to attend to as well.

After finishing breakfast, Xiao Hong was still in dreamland, sprawled out on the sofa. Ye Qiu waited while Liu Xia went upstairs to change clothes. When she came down, Ye Qiu noticed she was wearing the dress he had bought for her. It perfectly accentuated her elegance and beauty—it was like she was a goddess.

"What do you think? Does it look good?"

"It’s great," Ye Qiu replied.

Liu Xia stepped out and locked the door behind her.

There were three sets of keys—one for Ye Qiu, one for Liu Xia, and one for Xiao Hong.

Taking the elevator to the parking garage, they got in the car, and Ye Qiu drove towards the Auto City Mercedes-Benz 4S shop.

When they arrived at the entrance of the 4S shop, Liu Xia got out on her own while Ye Qiu maneuvered the car to leave, heading back towards Jin University Campus.

When Ye Qiu returned to the campus, he saw many male and female students dressed in military uniforms, shouting slogans during military training. Of course, these were students from other classes.

Ye Qiu parked his car in the lot and then headed to the dormitory. When he arrived, he saw Ning Yun sitting alone, playing video games. The guy clearly didn’t seem to plan on attending military training anymore.

"What’s this? Playing games by yourself instead of going to training?"

Ye Qiu asked bluntly.

Ning Yun seemed a little afraid of Ye Qiu and didn’t dare meet his gaze.

After Ye Qiu put on his military uniform, he looked at Ning Yun and said, "Go get dressed and come with me to military training."

Normally, Ning Yun would snap back with a "Why should I?"

But after receiving a beating from Ye Qiu earlier, Ning Yun was honestly terrified of him now.

Hurriedly, he got off the bed and put on his military uniform. He donned his cap, fastened his belt, and sluggishly worked on tying the laces of his rubber-soled shoes. Ye Qiu barked, "Hurry up! Stop dawdling!"

Although Ning Yun was just a branch family descendant, he had never endured such hardship before. Now, hearing Ye Qiu’s stern words, he could only quickly tie his laces and follow him out of the dormitory.

When Ye Qiu brought Ning Yun to the military training area, they saw Wu Shuang already practicing military boxing with the other freshmen. Ye Qiu was, unsurprisingly, the last to arrive.

"Reporting to the instructor! I’m late," Ye Qiu said.

Wu Shuang naturally wouldn’t punish Ye Qiu because he knew this kind of military training was barely even a challenge for him.

"What about this one?"

For the last two days, Ning Yun had been absent from training, and now, on the third day, he had finally shown up.

"This student had requested leave earlier and is only now joining," Ye Qiu explained.
