Chapter 87 – Live Together?
TN: “Street Corner’s Coffee Shop” will be changed to “Coffee Shop on the Street Corner”.
Last week, because the second title song of Chen Yijie’s new album, “Long Time No See” has been brewing in the country, Yang Yi’s small shop with the name “Coffee Shop on the Street Corner” has attracted the attention of some students and spread among the student community.
Although they felt that it was more likely just a coincidence, there were always some students who are sentimental that will come to the East Gate, come to his shop to drink coffee, and force Yang Yi to play the song over and over again, which made Yang Yi so sick of hearing it. (TN: The name of Yang Yi’s coffee shop was mentioned in the song “Long Time No See”)
Because of this “coincidence”, the popularity of Yang Yi’s coffee shop had an unexpected increase in the past week. From the original situation of three or four customers a day at most, to almost no lack of customers every afternoon.
Although the number of customers wasn’t a lot, only more than 20 customers a day, at least it looks promising.
Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last long. In the blink of an eye, it was already July and Jiangcheng Media University also began to have their holiday. The students gradually left the school. Yang Yi’s coffee shop became deserted again.
But Yang Yi was still very happy, he likes this kind of peaceful state. This gave him the time to read books and listen to songs.
“Why don’t I close the shop and take a few days off?” Yang Yi also came up with such an idea.
In fact, he has closed the shop a number of times! From time to time, he would put away the signboard and take his daughter to play around. A boss like him would have to pawn his pants doing things like what he’s doing. (TN: No idea what “pawn his pants” means. Comment if you know)
The good news was that Xixi, who has been staying with her mother for several days, was finally back!
Mo Fei also came to Yang Yi’s house for dinner with Xixi. She, who was a little tired and confused before, has found her confidence again, and the cold and proud woman in sunglasses appeared in front of Yang Yi again.
But this time, she came with her luggage!
“Recently, I have been a little tired from singing practice. Xiaojuan said that I should rest and come out to relax.” Mo Fei no longer needed to maintain a cold look in front of Yang Yi. although her expression was still a little cold, her voice was very soft. “I don’t know where to go, and I’m afraid of being photographed by a reporter, so I’ll stay in your house for two days, is that okay?”
Yang Yi knew without asking that his two songs had played a role. He had received a thank-you email written by Mo Fei or Mo Xiaojuan.
“Of course!” Yang Yi smiled and took the initiative to held out his hand.
Mo Fei understood, handed her luggage to Yang Yi’s hand, and then led her daughter to follow Yang Yi upstairs.
“Mama, are you going to live with Papa, just like Xixi?” Xixi was so excited. This was the scene she had been waiting for. She couldn’t help jumping up the stairs. Xixi didn’t walk well and had to jump every time to go up the stairs.
“Yes, but only for two days.” Mo Fei said lightly, “Mama still needs to work. I’m going back in two days!”
“Okay.” Xixi was still very happy. She tilted her head and said innocently, “Then, tonight, will Papa and Mama sleep with Xixi?”
Well, this question…
Yang Yi, who was carrying her luggage, couldn’t help but froze for a moment.
Mo Fei’s cold and elegant face couldn’t help flushing. She secretly glanced at Yang Yi’s burly and strong body. Her tone was no longer calm, and said angrily, “Xixi, what are you talking about?” (TN: Actual description of Yang Yi’s body here was “back of a tiger and waist of a bear”)
“Tonight, you sleep with Mama, and your Papa sleeps alone.” Mo Fei raised her voice so that Yang Yi could hear her.
“Cough, yes, there are still many rooms upstairs. Papa will clean up later. I’m not afraid that I won’t have room to sleep.” Yang Yi walked to the corner of the stairs, somewhat embarrassedly looked at Mo Fei, and then said to Xixi.
“Is that so?” Xixi pouted and said sullenly, “But Xixi wants to be accompanied by Papa and Mama…”
But neither Yang Yi nor Mo Fei responded this time. They both felt that the topic was a bit awkward. Although Yang Yi was more open-minded, he made eye contact with Mo Fei with a hint of inquiry.
In your dreams! Mo Fei glared at Yang Yi angrily, and then she turned her head and her neck was a little red. (TN: She was blushing.)
Although Mo Fei grew up abroad, her family education is actually very traditional, so she has always been a very conservative woman. Otherwise, when Yang Yi saved her, it would not be the first time…
…….
At home, Yang Yi naturally does the cooking himself. He changed his style every time he cooked novel dishes for Mo Fei. However, no matter what kind of dishes, they were delicious. Mo Fei, who was a little picky, even starts to taste celery, which she could hardly touch before.
“Is it delicious?” When Yang Yi saw Mo Fei move her chopsticks, he smiled and said, “I choose a relatively tender kind of celery, finely cut it, and then stir-fry it with dried rolled bean curd and agaric. This will make the celery taste much lighter and more delicious.”
“Hmm.” Mo Fei eating posture was still very elegant. When she eats a piece of celery, she holds it like a hamster. She nibbles at it a little bit and doesn’t want to open her mouth, as if it would affect her image.
But Xixi ate happily. She became unrestrained at her father’s house, with her little spoon spilling the rice in the bowl all over the table.
Yang Yi, a guy with obsessive-compulsive disorder, actually feels very uncomfortable every time he sees Xixi like this, but he’s gradually getting used to it. She will spill it anyway. He’ll just clean up after dinner…
But Xixi didn’t like celery. She shook her head and asked her father to pick out the celery. Then she pointed to the white bean curd and said, “I don’t want to eat celery. It tastes terrible. Xixi likes this!”
“You can’t be picky about food. Children need to eat everything to have a balanced nutrition.” Mo Fei gave Xixi a chopstick full of celery and educated her seriously.
Suddenly, Mo Fei turned her head and glared at Yang Yi, who was smiling, and said, “What are you smiling at? Am I wrong? “
Yang Yi smiled, shook his head, and said, “Your reprimanding Xixi about this, but when I was cooking just now, who was the one who said that she didn’t want to eat celery?”
“Yeah!” Xixi thought she was supported up by her father, so she pursed her little mouth and agreed.
This was to educate her daughter! This guy actually undermined herself! Mo Fei was so angry but she didn’t want to show the two of them quarreling in front of Xixi. Under the table, she stretched out her foot and kicked Yang Yi.
But who knew, she accidentally kicked on Yang Yi’s shin bone, so hard, that she almost twisted her foot.
“Hiss…” Mo Fei frowned and gasped.
Yang Yi’s reaction was actually a little slow. In a comfortable environment, he let his guard down a lot, and it wasn’t until Mo Fei kicked him that he reacted.
But he acted very quickly. He subconsciously reached out and grabbed Mo Fei’s feet.
It’s as smooth as brocade…
Mo Fei was still wearing black stockings!
Yang Yi didn’t realize that what he doing was wrong. Instead, it was the feeling that made him touch it subconsciously, from the ankle to the foot*… petite, warm, and smooth… (TN: * not sure if “foot” is the right word, but that was what was written. It might be the heel, or the bottom of the feet.)
At this point, it suddenly occurred to him that what he was doing was wrong. He looked up and saw that she was frowning in pain, but Mo Fei looked at him with shame and indignation.
Bad thing! (TN: She was telling him with her looks that he was doing bad things.)
