Xiu Gou's Taming Record

Chapter 148 The combined flowers are still quite pleasing to the eye.

Yu Heng pushed open the villa door; the living room curtains were half-drawn.

He changed his shoes, walked to the sofa, sat down, and casually placed the paper bag containing the roasted chestnuts on the coffee table.

He leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes.

Reflecting on what happened in the car,

Ning Yutong's final reaction...

He twitched the corner of his mouth; he must have gone.

Footsteps echoed down the stairs.

Yu Heng opened his eyes and saw Shen Yueling coming downstairs.

Her hair was half-wet, and she had wrapped a towel around her head.

"You're back?" She walked to the coffee table and picked up a water glass.

"Hmm." Yu Heng watched her tilt her head back as she drank water, his Adam's apple bobbing. "Where's A-Ling?"

"I'm taking a shower upstairs." Shen Yueling put down her cup, her gaze falling on his face. "What did you do at home?"

"Parents need to sign off on off-campus accommodation," Yu Heng said.

"Is it done?"

"It's done."

"My mom roasted these chestnuts." He pushed the bag over there. "Want some?"

Shen Yueling glanced at them, reached out and took one, her fingernails digging into the shell's creases, and gently pried it open.

The chestnut meat fell out intact.

"Is it sweet?" he asked.

"It's sweet! Auntie always cooks it so well," Shen Yueling said.

Yu Heng also took one, peeled it open, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Bai Xinran came down at this time as well.

Her hair was still dripping wet, and she was wearing a loose-fitting nightgown with a sloping neckline.

"You're back?" She walked over and sat down next to Yu Heng, leaning in naturally.

"Hmm." Yu Heng reached out and ruffled her wet hair. "Didn't you dry it after showering?"

"Too lazy to blow-dry it, my hair is short, a quick wipe is fine," Bai Xinran said, her eyes fixed on the chestnuts on the coffee table. "What's this?"

"Chestnuts." Yu Heng grabbed a few and handed them to her. "My mom fried them."

Bai Xinran took it, peeled one, and put it in her mouth.

"It's delicious." Her eyes crinkled into a smile.

"You two are home today," Yu Heng said with a smile, "You didn't fight, did you?"

Shen Yue rolled her eyes at him: "You really want us to fight?"

"Of course I don't want that," Yu Heng said with a smile, sinking deeper into the sofa. "But lilies are still quite pleasing to the eye."

Shen Yueling threw the chestnut shells into the trash can: "Can't you think of anything serious?"

"This is serious," Yu Heng said, looking at her and then glancing at Bai Xinran leaning on his shoulder. "Food and sex are basic human needs. Looking at two beautiful girls like you, what are you thinking about but these things?"

Shen Yueling didn't reply; this person was becoming more and more unserious.

"Oh, by the way," Yu Heng added, "I ran into Yu Tong today."

Shen Yueling was drying her hair with a towel when she paused, looked up at him, and asked, "Where did you run into me?"

"She went back to Ancheng too," Yu Heng said. "I met her while carpooling back; we were in the same car."

Shen Yueling draped the towel over her shoulder: "And then?"

"We only exchanged a few words," Yu Heng said casually. "Nothing else."

"I messaged her," Shen Yueling said casually, "but she hasn't replied to me for the past two days."

Yu Heng narrowed his eyes: "She's probably busy at home. She's not the kind of person who would ignore you just because I rejected her."

"That's true..." Shen Yueling pursed her lips, "She's actually not very cunning."

Bai Xinran listened from the side, somewhat curious about what had happened.

However, she didn't inquire about Yu Heng's affairs. He would tell her what he wanted her to know.

If I'm really curious about something, I'll ask him privately.

Yu Heng put his legs up on the coffee table, swung them around, and temporarily stopped talking about the topic: "What are we having for dinner tonight? I haven't eaten yet."

Bai Xinran had just swept the chestnut shells into the trash can when she heard this and looked up: "What would you like to eat?"

"Just make something simple," Yu Heng said. "Whatever's in the fridge."

Bai Xinran stood up and walked towards the kitchen, but Yu Heng suddenly remembered something and called out to her, "By the way, Qin Ya didn't come to the live stream today?"

"She said she'll start broadcasting again when her new skin is finished," Bai Xinran said, standing in the kitchen.

Yu Heng clicked his tongue: "This girl is getting more and more disobedient."

Before, scare tactics worked, but now people can skip even live streams at will.

Beating people isn't working anymore, is it? We need to change our methods of discipline.

Shen Yueling dried her hair and tossed the towel aside.

She moved next to Yu Heng and nestled into his arms.

Yu Heng naturally reached out and put his arm around her waist.

"Yutong, what are you planning to do?" Shen Yueling suddenly asked.

"I don't know," he said. "If I said I still want her, but don't want to be in a relationship, would you think I'm being unreasonable?"

He did think about it, and after what happened in the car today, that thought became even stronger.

"It's alright." Shen Yueling's eyelashes trembled slightly, her voice flat. "You have to get her consent before you go too far."

She paused, then added, "If she's willing, what's wrong with that?"

Her meaning was clear: as long as Ning Yutong was happy, she didn't think it was a big deal.

Yu Heng thought to himself that Shen Yueling's attitude was much more relaxed than before.

Perhaps it's because she's been with Bai Xinran for a long time and is more accepting of this kind of thing, or perhaps she knows she can't stop it anyway, so she might as well go along with her own wishes.

"We'll see," Yu Heng said, pulling her even tighter.

Shen Yueling stiffened for a moment, then turned her head.

She saw that Yu Heng's eyes were fixed on her, and his intentions were quite clear.

"Ah Ling is still in the kitchen."

"If it's here, then it's here."

"She'll be out in a bit..." Shen Yueling said in a low voice.

"Then hurry up."

-

The kitchen door opened.

Bai Xinran came out carrying a plate of stir-fried vegetables. When she saw the two people on the sofa, she paused for a moment, but there was no surprise on her face.

She placed the plate on the table, then turned and went back into the kitchen to bring out a bowl of soup.

"Dinner is ready." Bai Xinran's voice was calm.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yueling, her face still flushed, playfully nudged Yu Heng, saying, "Hurry up, it's time to eat."

Yu Heng was delighted, "Then you can have it!"

Bai Xinran served three bowls of rice, placed them on the table, and then pulled out a chair to sit down.

"Get up and eat." Yu Heng reached out and pulled Shen Yueling up.

Shen Yueling glared at him and sat up with his help.

Then they all ate their meal quietly, and no one said a word.

It was as if nothing had happened.
