Lu Weixi pursed her lips, about to say something, when she saw Qin Zhiyou get up, take a long stride, and sit down on the couch nearby. His handsome face lowered slightly, as if deep in thought, “The food was a bit salty just now. It’d be nice to have a glass of water.”

Lu Weixi nodded, “I’ll ask Auntie Hao to get you some water.”

Qin Zhiyou didn’t look up, his long eyelashes slightly drooping. He took out his phone and slid it open, “Auntie Hao is quite old; is it not inappropriate to disturb her at this hour?”

So she was supposed to go? Lu Weixi stood up and before leaving, she asked in a gentle tone, “Would you like warm water or milk? It’s quite late for coffee or tea.”

Qin Zhiyou had a “whatever you like” kind of attitude and indifferently responded, “Warm water is fine, I’m not picky.”

Lu Weixi turned to the kitchen and really did fill two-thirds of a cup with hot water and added one-third of cold water.

Once she returned, Qin Zhiyou took a sip and praised, “Mmm, the temperature is just right.”

“As long as you’re happy,” Lu Weixi stood by waiting while he sipped slowly. Finally, he put down the empty cup, looking expectant.

Qin Zhiyou slowly lowered his eyes, lightly shaking his head, “I’ve been so busy all day that I didn’t even get a bite of fruit.”

Lu Weixi pursed her lips, knowing in her heart that Qin Zhiyou was just teasing her. However, she, being the one owing money, suppressed her feelings and calmly asked, “What would you like to eat?”

“Nothing special, there are a few apples in the fridge, peel them and cut them into small pieces. And there’s some dragon fruit too, cut that up as well. I’ve been a little ‘heated’ lately.”

She didn’t know if he was truly heated, but Lu Weixi almost was. Patiently, she chuckled and tried to maintain her calm tone, “So apples and dragon fruit, right? Please wait a moment.”

Lu Weixi came out with the cut fruit to see Qin Zhiyou sitting in a slanted uncomfortable position on the couch, legs lazily crossed. One hand idly resting on the back of the couch, the other scrolling on his phone. She placed the fruit tray next to him and he didn’t bother looking up, continuing to focus on his phone. His other hand blindly reached out, grabbed a piece with the fork, ate it and commented, “The apple isn’t crisp, the dragon fruit isn’t sweet.”

It was almost half an hour before he had finished the entire plate of fruit, he finally looked up and saw that Lu Weixi was still waiting nearby. He furrowed his brows, looking irritated. She knew what his expression meant: you’re still here?

Lu Weixi repressed her annoyance, maintaining a soft smile on her face, “Zhiyou, about that text I sent you this morning… You responded saying if you wanted money you’d come back. Regarding last night’s incident…”

Only then did Qin Zhiyou put down his phone and fruit fork, switching into a more comfortable position, he waited for her to finish before responding lightly, “I said if I wanted money, I’d wait at home. I didn’t say I was paying for last night.”

Lu Weixi’s temple twitched, she continued negotiating, “But we had agreed on the day before yesterday…”

Qin Zhiyou, with the keen attitude of a businessman, analysed it for her in detail, “You said the night before last, just five thousand more, regardless of the days. I have already paid the final installment, so why should I pay again? We can go by the day count- – but didn’t you also say yesterday, we are husband and wife, even if no money was taken it would’ve been okay. Me giving money is extra; I will give when I feel good, it’s also reasonable if I don’t..”
