Chapter 54 The Petty-Minded Huo Yunting
Huo Yunting carefully carried the man into the bathroom. Looking at his limp and weak appearance, he deeply reflected on himself.
He gently put the person down and then immediately began to help him wash up.
Xie Qing was being served his teeth in a daze. The cool sensation of the toothpaste stimulated his taste buds, and he suddenly came back to his senses.
This... seems to be the master bedroom!
They were definitely in the second bedroom last night!
After brushing his teeth, Xie Qing turned to look at Huo Yunting, about to ask him a question, when a hot towel was thrown at his face and wiped.
Xie Qing: ...
After washing up, Xie Qing finally found an opportunity to ask him.
Huo Yunting's face flushed slightly. "The bed in the second bedroom is too small for anyone to sleep in, so I carried you over here."
Xie Qing's tone was unusually uneasy. "Oh, I see."
After getting dressed, Huo Yunting carried Xie Qing downstairs and placed a soft cushion where he sat.
For a moment, all the maids cleaning the villa were glancing at Xie Qing, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Before Xie Qing could even notice, Huo Yunting glanced at her, and all the maids lowered their heads, obediently busying themselves with their work, not daring to look up again.
Just then, Chestnut came out of the kitchen carrying several dishes, the aroma of which was very enticing.
Xie Qing hadn't eaten in so long and was starving. He picked up a piece of tofu that was carved like a flower and immediately gave Chestnut a thumbs up, "Chestnut, your cooking is really delicious!"
Chestnut had become quite familiar with Xie Qing over the past two months. Although she knew there was no possibility between them, she still blushed a little in the face of his praise. "Young Master Xie, I'm glad you like it."
Despite Huo Yunting's murderous gaze, Li Zi remained completely calm.
Because she knew the other party wouldn't do anything to her, and because Xie Shao liked the food she made, he would most likely keep her around.
Chestnut happily went into the kitchen, intending to take out the other dishes along with it.
After Li Zi left, Xie Qing glanced at the person beside her with a slightly gloomy expression, put down her chopsticks, and asked him, "Tingting, are you unhappy?"
"She blushed when she saw you."
Xie Qing couldn't help but laugh, remembering that he had told Sister Ting before that his lover wasn't so petty, but now he realized that she was even smaller than the eye of a pin.
She also gets jealous very easily.
"Sometimes people blush simply because they appreciate beautiful things, so don't be upset. You just need to know that I only like you."
Xie Qing's eyes were bright, and when she looked at Huo Yunting, it was as if she were looking at her entire world, her eyes full of deep affection.
Huo Yunting couldn't resist Xie Qing's charm at all, and lowered his head to kiss him on the cheek, saying, "You can only like me."
"definitely."
Xie Qing winked at him, picked up her chopsticks, and put a piece of tofu that she had just said was delicious into his mouth. "Try it, it's pretty good."
Huo Yunting finally stopped looking sullen and happily served Xie Qing some food.

After finishing their meal, Xie Qing nestled in Huo Yunting's arms, scrolling through videos. She would occasionally chuckle and then share them with Huo Yunting, asking him if they were funny.
Huo Yunting always gave him face, which made it all the more amusing.
His wife almost broke up with him last time because he didn't give her face.
Having learned his lesson from what happened last time, he has become wiser.
Xie Qing was scrolling through her phone when she suddenly sat up straight and looked at Huo Yunting, "Don't you have to go to work today?"
Huo Yunting chuckled, "Qingqing, it's the weekend, a two-day weekend."
Xie Qing realized, "Oh right, today is Saturday."
Then, he went back inside.
The two were inseparable all afternoon, like conjoined twins.
The main reason is that Huo Yunting is too clingy, but he himself is completely unaware of it.
Using the excuse of "worrying about Xie Qing's leg injury recurring," he felt perfectly justified in sticking to Xie Qing.
His eyes seemed to transform into precise surveillance cameras, constantly watching Xie Qing.
Xie Qing understood perfectly well, but didn't say anything. Instead, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, carrying a faint, almost imperceptible smile.
As evening fell, Xie Qing returned to the master bedroom after dinner, leisurely sat cross-legged on the comfortable hanging chair, and lightly opened her phone to check the work schedule for the following week.
Sister Ting got him an advertising shoot for the DA brand, as well as endorsements for several niche brands.
These brands, while not top-tier or high-end, are not bad either, and they match his current status perfectly.
He's been recuperating for two months, so it's time for him to get busy again.
Xie Qing was lost in thought when she was suddenly picked up and placed on Huo Yunting's lap.
"What is Qingqing looking at?"
Huo Yunting's voice rang in his ears. Sometimes even he himself felt that he was being too hypocritical. He already knew everything in his heart, but he still pretended to ask again.
Xie Qingwei tilted her head slightly. "I'm looking at my work schedule. I'll be busy starting next week."
Huo Yunting reached out and put his arm around Xie Qing's waist, pulling her closer to him.
"If you're too tired, take a rest. Remember to call me if anything happens. If your legs feel uncomfortable, stop working and rest. Don't push yourself..."
Listening to the rambling in his ear, Xie Qing felt a warmth in his heart. This was something he had longed for but could never obtain.
He is no longer a homeless child; he now has people who care about him and love him.
Xie Qing leaned against Huo Yunting's chest, feeling his steady heartbeat, nodded, and turned her head to kiss him on the cheek.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window onto the two of them, outlining a warm golden edge around them.
The two kissed and embraced in the afterglow of the setting sun, expressing their love for each other.
That evening, without Xie Qing saying anything, Huo Yunting moved back to the master bedroom on his own.
Xie Qing's eyes were full of mockery, "So you're finally back?"
"Ah."
Huo Yunting sat at the foot of the bed, feeling slightly embarrassed by his gaze.
Xie Qing pounced on him and pinned him to the bed, gently pulling his hair while putting on a serious face, looking quite imposing.
"Tell me the truth, why did you sleep in the second bedroom yesterday, Tingting~"
Xie Qing spoke in a drawn-out tone, with a rising tone at the end, sounding more like flirting than accusing someone.
"Qingqing, my self-control isn't as strong as you think."
Huo Yunting held the person in front of him tightly with one hand, while his other hand quietly slid under the hem of his clothes, gently caressing his slender waist with his broad palm.
He discovered yesterday that Xie Qing's waist was extremely sensitive; the slightest touch would cause her to curl up like a frightened animal.
Sure enough, Xie Qing's stern face instantly broke down, and he yanked the mischievous hand away, saying, "Damn it, stop touching me."
He wrapped himself up like a worm, saying, "Go to sleep, go to sleep, and don't you dare touch me again."
His back was still hurting, and he didn't want to go through that again in such a short time.
It was really fun, but it was also really tiring!
