Chapter 1077 The Reborn Young Master’s Pampered Cousin (75)
After Qi Chimu left, Bai Weiwei flopped down into a seat, her eyes still red. Then she began to eat the pastries.
It wasn’t often she got to eat the kind of food she liked in world planes.
After this meal, she didn’t know when the next meal would be.
Ai, this pastry was made so authentically.
The system watched the entire time, still thinking that there would be some mini side tasks to toss people around.
But when it looked up, it didn’t see anything above her.
It asked, “The male lead ran off in anger, is that okay?”
Its heart was broken on behalf of its disappointing host. Even when it was halfway through reading the 1000 Ways to Diss your Host book, it grew soft-hearted.
It thought, they’d been getting along for so many planes, there was some affection between them.
So as an all-around super excellent system1, it’ll be a bit gentler ba.
Bai Weiwei: “If I don’t do this, the favorability will get stuck and won’t go up. Qi Chimu is a man with an inferiority complex and strong self-esteem2. His goal in life is to get revenge and live a grand life.”
Having said that, she couldn’t help sitting up straight and giving this broken system a bit of scientific knowledge.
“This kind of man, once he’s nearly emotionally available, you give him a stick and let him know that the things he does hurts me.”
Only with such a cold protest could she make the other party face his hatred.
And discover the true emotions in his heart.
Bai Weiwei sighed. “So I’ll be cold to him until he can’t stand it. He’ll naturally let go of his mindset of revenge.”
The system was silent for a moment. Finally, it gave a faint sigh.
Bai Weiwei felt her scalp go numb from its sigh. “?”
The system earnestly praised, “You can be considered as having gone through a hundred battles and having lots of experience. You couldn’t even kiss before. Now, you can even take the initiative to roll in the sheets. I’m deeply impressed.”
Bai Weiwei: Why does this praise sound so weird?
By the time Qi Chimu came back, he had already returned to normal.
Indifferent and mild, the image of a false gentleman.
Bai Weiwei ignored him.
At night, Qi Chimu warmed the bed with a heater3, then said, “Sleep ba, I will go read.”
Bai Weiwei didn’t speak. She went straight to bed and nestled in the warm spot, squinting as she dozed off.
Qi Chimu fidgeted restlessly for a long while. When he finally came over, he found that she was asleep.
He stood by the bed for a long time before he removed his clothes and went to sleep.
In the faint candlelight, he saw that she had her back to him, her body curled into a ball.
Finally, he couldn’t help but reach out and carefully pull her into his arms, until her entire body fit perfectly into his embrace.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart couldn’t help beating rapidly.
He buried his face in her hair. Her entire body was covered in the fragrance of orchids.
This fragrance had completely lost its traumatic shadow.
There was only tender affection, only peace of mind.
He hugged her, breathing in her scent, and peacefully fell asleep.
He woke up early the next day and got out of bed before she woke up.
Then Qi Chimu went to the kitchen and spent some extra silver to get Bai Weiwei some of her favorite vegetable dishes, as well as the plum pastries that were requested daily.
When he got back, she was sitting in bed, her long hair fluffy and disheveled, her eyes still drowsy and dazed.
So lovable it made one’s heart go soft.
Qi Chimu thought he was sick. Why was it that, after discovering the emotions in his heart, when he saw her once more, every part of her felt good.
He pursed his lips, saying blandly, “Get up and tidy up, let’s eat ba.”
Bai Weiwei rolled her eyes at him, not knowing how delicate and soft her small appearance was.
Qi Chimu’s gaze darkened, but he didn’t have the urge to rush over and pounce.
He stared at the dishes on the table with restraint.
1: The raws said 十项全能. Broken down into 十项 and 全能, it means something like all-rounder in ten aspects/tasks/abilities.↩
2: 自尊心强烈的自卑男: 自尊心强烈 is having a strong sense of self-esteem and 自卑 is supposedly to half low self-esteem, which was kinda contradictory.↩
3: 汤婆子: like the ancient Chinese version of a hot water bottle or thermos? Except you use it to warm your hands or bed or something instead of storing hot water for drinking. From what I can tell, it’s about the size of a standard teapot.↩
