195. I ride better than you.

"what about the taste?"

Su Xiyue looked at Gu Qing with anticipation in her eyes.

She has always had a strong palate, and foods like snail rice noodles are considered delicacies by her.

However, its taste is too pungent, which is why many people dislike it.

Su Xiyue really wanted to get Gu Qing's approval.

Unfortunately, after slurping a few mouthfuls of noodles, Gu Qing stopped eating.

Then she wiped her rosy, glossy lips with a tissue.

Gu Qing said, "I can eat it, but it might be too spicy for me."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiyue immediately stood up and said, "Qingqing, I'll go buy you something else to eat. You can leave this bowl to me!"

Gu Qing did not stop Su Xiyue from eating; he genuinely couldn't stomach the overly spicy snail rice noodles.

He's not a picky eater, but this level of spiciness is clearly outside his diet.

Although I already knew that Su Xiyue had a strong palate and could handle spicy food, this bowl of snail rice noodles was still more potent than his homemade chili sauce.

But it probably contained capsaicin extract, right?

Gu Qing guessed.

A few minutes later, Su Xiyue returned to her seat with her tray.

She brought Gu Qing a bowl of plain noodles, along with a cup of room-temperature, unsweetened whole-leaf green tea.

"It's my fault. I got too excited and added chili peppers according to my own idea," Su Xiyue said with a guilty look.

Today, Gu Qing took the initiative to come to the school to find her. The two even strolled around the school for a while. After learning that Gu Qing wanted to know about her campus life, she couldn't help but get a little carried away.

"It's okay, don't overthink it."

Gu Qing gave Su Xiyue a smile.

The girl was understanding and considerate, but she was still young, so it was normal that she didn't think things through completely.

However, Gu Qing actually prefers Su Xiyue this way.

A sunny and beautiful girl who is sometimes composed and sometimes impulsive—isn't that appealing?

"Qingqing, you are so gentle!"

Su Xiyue smiled sweetly, as if she had eaten honey, and then downed two bowls of super spicy snail rice noodles.

After finishing their meal in the cafeteria, the two went to the artificial lake on campus and used the evening breeze to freshen up their body odor.

By this time, even students with many classes had finished their lessons, and the campus suddenly became lively.

The basketball courts, soccer fields, and tennis courts were all full, but students could still be seen exercising on the sidelines of the playground.

"By the way, you come to pick me up every day, what about club activities?" Gu Qing suddenly asked.

If he remembered correctly, Su Xiyue joined a club, and quite mysteriously, she didn't tell him what club it was.

"Our club has very few activities, and we always notify you in advance if there are any. We are a club with strict requirements for venues."

Su Xiyue remained tight-lipped, not revealing which club she belonged to.

Based on the information available, Gu Qing made several deductions, but did not delve into the details.

"Don't let me delay your own affairs," Gu Qing said after thinking for a moment.

"No, Qingqing, don't worry. I won't neglect either your affairs or my own!"

As Su Xiyue spoke, she pulled Gu Qing into her arms and hugged him tightly.

In the past, when she saw couples holding hands and hugging at school, she fantasized that one day she could also show off her love with Gu Qing at school.

But I didn't expect to achieve this so quickly.

After strolling around for a while, as the golden light of dusk bathed the earth, the two walked out of the campus hand in hand.

Taxi or subway?

At the school gate, Su Xiyue asked.

"how about this?"

But then Gu Qing pointed to the shared bicycles on the side.

"Want to ride a bike?"

Su Xiyue recalled the journey home. It wasn't that she was afraid of being too tired from cycling, but rather that she was worried about potential safety issues along the way.

After confirming that there shouldn't be any major problems, Su Xiyue decisively took out her phone and started scanning the QR code.

Riding a bicycle felt great, and the temperature in December was also acceptable.

The only slight pity is that the shared bikes cannot carry passengers. Otherwise, it would be wonderful to have Gu Qing sit on the back of her bike and wrap his arms around her waist.

The two rode along, and as they entered the bustling city center, the number of vehicles and pedestrians began to increase.

Su Xiyue rode beside Gu Qing, occasionally saying a few words, while also keeping an eye on Gu Qing's safety.

To her surprise, Gu Qing's cycling skills were quite steady. When encountering oncoming crowds, he remained calm and always managed to quickly choose the best route.

However, although Gu Qing has that mental illness, her mental fortitude is far beyond that of ordinary people.

"Qingqing, you ride so well!"

After arriving at the entrance of the residential area, Su Xiyue locked the shared bicycle again and praised Gu Qing.

Gu Qing looked at the girl's face, which was reddened by the wind, and his mind wandered.

He wanted to ride, but unfortunately in this world, judging by physical abilities, he was the one who would be ridden!

"You ride very well too."

Gu Qing could only say it calmly.

If they were an old married couple, he might be allowed to make some lewd jokes.

But he is actually much older than Su Xiyue. What if he misleads the young girl with his careless words?

Whether it's a misperception or not, Gu Qing doesn't really care about how others perceive her, but when facing Su Xiyue, she always tries to be "reserved" to maintain her image in the eyes of the young girl.

"Hehe...I'll ride you...I'm not too bad at it!"

Su Xiyue gave a smile that Gu Qing found slightly foolish.

What she actually wanted to say was, "I ride better than you," but considering Gu Qing's personality, it was really inappropriate to make such a lewd joke right now.

Before going home, the two bought some winter strawberries from the fresh produce store downstairs.

Su Xiyue originally intended to bring another durian, but thinking that eating snail rice noodles and then durian would probably make Gu Qing dislike the smell, she had no choice but to give up.

After returning home, Gu Qing ate snail rice noodles and worked up a sweat from cycling. Unable to wait any longer, Gu Qing went into the bathroom first, at the girl's polite request.

After showering, Gu Qing changed into her home pajamas.

Before leaving the restroom, he saw the girl's used sanitary napkin in the trash can.

The corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.

Based on past experience, once a girl's period ends, she'll start tormenting him...

But why am I actually a little excited?

Gu Qing shook her head and walked out of the bathroom with mixed feelings.

"Go wash up, I'll make some strawberry cream bread, it can be a late-night snack or breakfast," Gu Qing said.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Qingqing!"

After giving Gu Qing a "pop" on the face, Su Xiyue went into the bathroom.

I wonder when I'll be able to take a bath with Gu Qing.

However, now that Gu Qing's gold coins have been depleted, the final step is probably not far off.

Speaking of which... how about trying Gu Qing's gold coins again tonight?

196. Morning activities for couples

The early winter sun shone through the glass, dispelling a bit of the chill in the room.

Although winters in Nanjing are not as cold as in the north, the air is still humid and can make people feel cold.

Gu Qing, wrapped in a quilt, rested her head on the pillow, breathing out warm air.

Her hairline was flushed red, her skin was white and delicate, shimmering in the sunlight, and the veins on her skin were very prominent.

At this time of year, getting out of bed in the morning is always a test of human willpower.
