Chapter 255: Nearly Met My End Here
“You’re exaggerating too much.”
Qi Luo An was startled by Yu Wei’s display shelf as soon as she entered the room; from top to bottom, it was lined with ten trophies, and there were three certificates stuffed in the corner.
Did she arrive at an advanced worker’s home?
“If there are awards, they definitely have to be displayed.”
Yu Wei found a pair of slippers and handed them to her, “It’s better than putting a few flower pots.”
Who puts flower pots on a shelf? Qi Luo An was just about to complain when her shoe-changing action suddenly paused; these slippers actually fit her perfectly…
Last time she came, there wasn’t this thing, so she had to wander around in shoes several sizes too big; she didn’t expect this guy to make up for it, and he was quite thoughtful.
But this also explained one problem, that Yu Wei had long prepared for her to come over, so he prepared this.
Thinking of this, Qi Luo An couldn’t help but feel her heart fluttering like a little deer; at this point, he wouldn’t have prepared something else, would he…
Otherwise, why did Yu Wei stare at her feet last time? It was just to visually measure her shoe size.
Things were different now; this time, Qi Luo An was much bolder, not only looking around without any reservations, but even faintly taking on the demeanor of the guest becoming the host.
Hey, you, go fry two dishes for me!
“Such a big room, aren’t you bored being home alone usually?”
Qi Luo An looked around here and there, casually opened the fridge and glanced inside; besides beverages and snacks, there were no ingredients at all, clearly takeout every day.
“Actually, I don’t spend much time at home.”
Yu Wei was quite busy, recording variety shows, attending events, running around everywhere; this house only served for sleeping, without much sense of home stability.
But the program team and organizer usually provided meals, so he hadn’t eaten many meals at home either.
“It feels like there’s not much lively atmosphere.”
Yu Wei kept it quite clean, but it always lacked a bit of traces of life; at first glance, it looked like no one lived there.
“Light a cigarette and it’ll have it.”
What a cold joke; Qi Luo An shrugged and didn’t pick up his words, instead starting to tease the smart home assistant nearby.
“Azure Sprite, do you know Yu Wei?”
There was still some time before the program aired, so being idle was being idle.
“Of course, Yu Wei is an extremely influential singer-songwriter, musician, and screenwriter in the Chinese music scene, whose works…”
Yu Wei rarely saw such a childish side of Qi Luo An, though he occasionally did it too; teasing AI was indeed fun.
“Azure Sprite, play ‘Later’.”
“Playing ‘Later’ by Yu Wei for you right away; this part is a trial listen, pay after opening the Sprite app to listen unlimited.”
Qi Luo An immediately stopped this thing; it was infuriatingly cold—Yu Wei had to pay to listen to his own song?
Actually, Yu Wei had many works that were free to listen to unlimited, but those taken out in Music Blind Box required membership due to program copyright.
This was no different from writing web novels; Yu Wei was open-minded about it—if you liked listening to the official version, support it; if it was too much trouble, there were tons of resources online, just go with the flow.
“Azure Sprite, does Yu Wei have a girlfriend?”
Yu Wei, who was browsing Super Topic gossip, was stunned for a moment; what did this mean? It felt like Qi Luo An was using this little thing to poke at him.
No feeling about it—Qi Luo An was poking at him; their relationship hadn’t been defined yet.
In outsiders’ eyes, they were already lovey-dovey, but actually, they hadn’t confessed yet…
“Um, the user wants to know about Yu Wei’s relationship status. I need to compile a comprehensive but concise introduction; from these search results, Yu Wei has a girlfriend named Qi Luo An.”
Even the AI is more enlightened than you!
“Really? I don’t believe it.”
Qi Luo An seemed to be playing a Q&A game with the smart assistant, but in reality, her gaze never left Yu Wei; think about it, savor it carefully.
“Azure Sprite, help me think of a confession copywriting.”
Yu Wei’s sudden words startled Qi Luo An; no way, this casual? Thinking of one on the spot was one thing, but asking AI to help?
She didn’t consider herself someone who valued formalism and wasn’t too into romantic elements, but confessing with AI as background sound was something she’d never seen in her life.
“Okay, the user needs confession copywriting; I plan to select the most suitable words from the search results…”
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Listening to the electronic voice enunciating each word, Qi Luo An’s eyelashes trembled lightly; her surprise was evident, but more than that was expectation.
She just quietly gazed at Yu Wei, as if digesting this sudden… confession of love?
It felt so cheesy, but thinking it was Yu Wei made it reasonable; this was the kind of person he was.
“To the world, you are a person; but to me, you are my entire world.”
Ugh ugh ugh; Yu Wei and Qi Luo An were both struck by this copywriting; in other words, this white lie didn’t have to be confessed…
“How about I just QQ invite you to bind as a couple relationship.”
“Agreed.”
It could only be said that both of them were a bit allergic to romance; flowery rhetoric passed like wind through the ears, while sincere companionship could settle down through the years.
Forget candles, hearts, roses, and such; living the days well was more important than anything.
From this angle, they were quite compatible; someone who liked flashy things meeting a lazy dog would inevitably involve various compromises and tugs.
So now they were officially in a couple relationship? It still felt so casual somehow…
Qi Luo An only felt dizzy and disoriented, not even knowing when she had sat down on the sofa.
“Come over and poke me, I’ll tell you a little secret.”
“Hm?”
Yu Wei slightly turned his body with a hint of doubt; what little secret could only be told to him now? So distant?
In the instant he turned, Qi Luo An took a deep breath, no longer hesitating, and with a speed so fast it was almost invisible, she raised her head, her warm soft lips quickly and accurately pressing onto his cheek.
That touch was even more wondrous than she imagined; it was a contact brief enough to count in seconds, yet it felt infinitely stretched in an instant.
After the dragonfly-touching-water kiss, Qi Luo An shrank back like a startled little rabbit, pulling away a bit of distance.
She lowered her head, not daring to look at Yu Wei’s reaction, and only used a voice carrying a bit of triumphant shyness and slyness to complete that interrupted little secret.
“…It’s just, suddenly wanted to kiss you.”
They were a couple now; what was wrong with her taking a bite?
Yu Wei was somewhat unable to react; what the heck whooshed by? He only felt a fresh fragrance approach, and then it was over.
No way, that’s it?
“Then come over and poke me, I’ll tell you a little secret too.”
Qi Luo An looked embarrassed and refused no matter what; she had already mustered a lot of courage earlier, and continuing would make her heart falter.
Making it seem like he wouldn’t continue if she didn’t come over; Yu Wei unceremoniously planted one on her forehead.
Finished the sneak attack and wanted to run? Too late.
Unexpectedly, Qi Luo An really felt weak and went limp all over from the sudden kiss, directly falling back onto the sofa.
Yu Wei looked at Qi Luo An who had directly lain down with a strange expression; I didn’t even make a move, how did you fall right over? It really wasn’t intentional…
“Um, the program is about to start.”
Qi Luo An looked up at Yu Wei leaning over her, not daring to move a bit, afraid that the slightest action would break this dangerous balance and lead to deeper collapse.
She really went weak and lay down; would anyone believe it?
At this point, what program to watch? Wouldn’t watching something else be better? This kind of plot in a novel would result in readers at least cursing the protagonist as a eunuch.
Even if Qi Yunming and Chen Jinyi came over today, it wouldn’t work; she delivered herself to the door.
Qi Luo An watched him approach with wide eyes, her pupils instantly dilating; he, he was actually serious?
“I, my aunt is here…”
Well, that settled it; at this time, aunt was more authoritative than parents; Yu Wei had already leaned down, so he simply picked her up, pretending nothing had happened just now.
Actually, Yu Wei wasn’t that repressed; he just found teasing her quite amusing, and seeing her flustered like a quail was enough.
Qi Luo An collapsed against the backrest with lingering fear; she really wasn’t lying— the reason she dared to come today was precisely because of this debuff.
Not pure delivery; she had revival armor.
The downside was obvious too; revival armor used up and on cooldown, and Yu Wei knew about the cooldown—when the time came, wouldn’t he block her and kill…
Played too hard, nearly confessed here.
Yu Wei got up and turned on the television; their earlier tussle had made them fall behind the first batch of audience, but they could see plenty of bullet comments because of it.
The awkward atmosphere hadn’t dissipated, so they barely watched the first ten minutes of the program; it was only after Yu Wei drew teacher and went to school to teach that Qi Luo An readjusted her state.
“Finally seeing Teacher Yu Wei’s elementary school.”
Yu Wei was speechless upon hearing that; what the heck was this…
So much flirtatious talk, softening at a touch; what a mess— he noted the cooldown himself, so she’d have a good time later.
Jokes aside, seeing Yu Wei carefully teaching every student in class, Qi Luo An was quite moved.
She had watched a lot of variety shows, including many where stars went to be teachers; Yu Wei might not be the most serious, but he was definitely the most sincere.
This was especially obvious; whether acting or genuine, everyone could tell; he really wanted to leave a good impression on the children, not the audience.
Different starting points naturally led to completely different effects.
It was worth mentioning that the program team cut the part where he tussled with the school leader; releasing that would have some suspicion of netbullying civilians, and it wasn’t good for Yu Wei either.
The music class was a small climax of this episode; the scene of Chi Leying letting students pick songs for her to sing was interesting, with teacher and students in harmonious joy like a sci-fi film.
Don’t think about it; real campus life doesn’t look like this…
“It’s not my class now, do as you please, just treat it as wrapping up the music class.”
The child’s sudden challenge made Chi Leying hand over control, letting Yu Wei sing any song everyone hadn’t heard.
Bullet comments even had a few cursing the bratty kid, but they were instantly drowned in reprimands; so what if a child likes novel things?
Not just kids; adults wanted to hear too—who wouldn’t want to hear Yu Wei’s new song.
“You’ve actually sung a new song already?”
Qi Luo An really didn’t know about this; she thought the tenth episode only had “Tomorrow Will Be Better,” but unexpectedly there was…
When the simple lyrics of “Singing and Smiling” rose from Yu Wei’s mouth, almost everyone in front of the screen was stunned.
A children’s song?
And one they’d never heard before; even Yu Wei’s hardcore readers hadn’t seen the song title—this song he hadn’t written into the novel at all, and it wasn’t in Qi Luo An’s book either.
Yu Wei didn’t play by the rules this time; the ancestral method really changed, a shocking first.
Qi Luo An looked at him suspiciously; with this guy’s personality, actually singing a work that hadn’t appeared in the book—did the sun rise from the west?
Could it be, someone else was helping him Yu Wei write songs?
Someone outside?
