"Don’t go to the cafeteria, I’ve brought you lunch."
Zhao Qingge was wearing a retro, light luxury, British-style black blazer today, with a thick velvet long skirt in black underneath. Her high-heeled, mid-calf boots just reached the hem of the skirt, making her look tall and fashionable; a narrow belt, entirely black with a shiny silver buckle, was cinched at her waist, providing a perfect transitional embellishment between the upper and lower body, enhancing her elegance and slenderness.
"How did you know..."
Instinctively, Zhao Qingge wanted to ask him how he knew she was going to the cafeteria, but she quickly realized it was unnecessary to ask. Whether or not he had special powers, it was mealtime.
"Close the door and come in to talk."
Li Peifeng not only closed the door but also locked it. Today, Old Zhao looked especially good, youhoo!
"Eat, I know you’re hungry, so I made a few dishes and brought them to you, should be... hmm, still warm."
Li Peifeng’s newly bought insulated bucket was very big, grey, made of 304 stainless steel, with a large capacity of 2 liters,
inside were three separate small lunch boxes, and the heat retention was excellent, even after more than an hour, upon opening each box, the dishes and soup were still steaming.
"Spicy pig trotters, braised chicken pieces, and this is crayfish tofu soup. Although it doesn’t look great, it’s touted as Northeast’s freshest dish because crayfish are quite rare. I saw some for sale at the market today, so I bought a lot..."
Zhao Qingge stared at the steaming dishes in front of her, hands clasped together resting on her legs, her expression gentle, her tone unusually tender: "Which one is the rice?"
"Ta-dah~ It’s in the bucket, there’s also stir-fried cauliflower with meat on top of the rice; four dishes and one soup, not enough space in the boxes, so had to do it this way."
Li Peifeng placed the large food bucket in front of Zhao Qingge, and then put utensils and a small spoon on top, showcasing his attentiveness: "Eat."
"Oh."
Zhao Qingge obediently looked at him, picked up the utensils, and buried her head in the food bucket to start eating.
Li Peifeng couldn’t help but smile, for at this moment, he suddenly felt a bit like Zhao Qingge’s guardian, his daughter was at school, and as the old father, he delivered her lunch...
Taking care of someone you like feels nice, but taking care of five at once is indeed a bit tiring!
Finally, everything was delivered.
Li Peifeng sighed in relief, after this, he truly appreciates how hard delivery workers have it, and the thought makes him uneasy.
Unless there’s a special occasion, even if Li wanted to deliver a homemade lunch of love to a girl, he didn’t plan to do it himself anymore. He would only cook, and hire a delivery rider to take it, because it truly takes too much time otherwise.
"This is too much, I can’t finish it."
Zhao Qingge suddenly looked up, pointed at the chair, and said: "Join me, you haven’t eaten yet, right?"
"No, I was just waiting for you to say this."
Li Peifeng pulled up a chair to sit down.
"Do you use a spoon or chopsticks?"
Li Peifeng shamelessly said: "Chopsticks, I want to use the ones you used, you haven’t used the spoon yet."
Zhao Qingge hesitated for a moment, handed over the chopsticks without saying much.
"Come, try these pig trotters, they’re not too spicy, but very appetizing."
Li Peifeng used chopsticks to serve her food, while Zhao Qingge quietly fed him rice with a spoon.
The teacher and student enjoyed this warm lunch in the office, Zhao Qingge brought up the progress of her translation work on "Sword and Magic," which had reached sixty thousand words, and she wanted him to see if it matched the original book’s intent.
Li Peifeng was a bit surprised at Zhao Qingge’s work speed, touched yet heartaching, he advised her not to rush, and planned to hire a few students to handle the translation later so she wouldn’t have to worry.
"I’m just ensuring the overall style is consistent, laying the foundation for the future."
Zhao Qingge briefly explained and then changed the subject: "Come with me to the Mercedes-Benz 4S store in Xiyang District this afternoon, I want to buy a car."
"What?" Li Peifeng’s hand holding the chopsticks froze slightly: "You really want to change cars huh?"
Zhao Qingge glanced at him, then shifted her gaze back to the food, took a sip of the crayfish tofu soup, savoring the fresh sweetness on her tongue, her eyes showed a hint of satisfaction, she said softly: "It’s for you."
The sudden surprise left Li Peifeng a bit unbelieving: "You want to give me a car? Not your current BMW, but a new car for me? A Mercedes-Benz?"
Zhao Qingge nodded slightly in response.
Actually, she’d had the idea to gift a car for quite some time, about half a month ago when Li Peifeng first moved in with her, it was Valentine’s Day, if Li Peifeng hadn’t gone out in the morning to find Huang Tianxuan but stayed home with her, she’d planned to go to the 4S store together to finalize the car, rather than jokingly saying she’d give him her used BMW.
After all, Li Peifeng had given her numerous gifts before, like jewelry and magical pills, so Old Zhao planned to return the favor once.
But that Valentine’s Day, Li Peifeng spent the morning playing with Huang Tianxuan, revealing their cohabitation, and the other three girls caused a scene at the Zhao family home, resulting in the car gifting plan being postponed.
Now, Zhao Qingge formally brought it up, influenced by the thoughtful lunch she received.
No woman can refuse a four-course, one-soup meal handmade by the one she loves, full of affection.
The man’s silhouette bustling politely, his hands bringing warmth to the moment, and equally offering solace to her solitary soul...
"Without a car, it’s inconvenient for anything, buying one sooner is better."
Zhao Qingge suggested: "That BYD bought by Xu Manning, don’t use it anymore, it’s not a very good car, just let Wu Wenyue use it."
Li Peifeng’s smile was so wide it was crooked: "Alright, that’s great, I was originally thinking of buying a bicycle today, driving is really too congested, bicycles are convenient and quick... But if you’re buying me a car, I’ll drive it forever!"
