There Are Always Teachers Who Want To Ask Out Parents

Chapter 106: Pamper

After finishing speaking, everyone at the dining table except Lu Zhiqiao fell silent. Qi Yan felt the gaze directed at her from the people around her. She looked up and gazed at Lu Zhiqiao with a deep and gentle look, melting into those eyes. Her already slightly flushed face turned even redder.

"I..."

Qiao Qiao could eat her leftovers, but she couldn't find the words to say anything.

She thought that only her parents could see her most disheveled state, not rejecting any part of her and accepting everything about her. After meeting Lu Zhiqiao, another person in the world treated her in the same way. She had been single for a long time, almost forgetting what love looked like.

She had cleanliness issues and would never touch leftover food from others, even if it was Qiao Qiao. The psychological effect made it difficult for her to accept, even though Qiao Qiao wasn't "someone else."

Therefore, she felt guilty.

She couldn't eat Qiao Qiao's leftovers, just plain and simple "leftovers," but suddenly felt an infinite heartache.

Even though she wasn't someone who easily overthought things, at this moment, she became a bit sentimental.

However, Lu Zhiqiao's words pulled her out of her melancholy.

This is how her wife pampers her!

She was so incredibly happy.

After a moment of daze, Qi Yan's lips slowly curled up, and she blew a kiss through the air, looking proud as she glanced at Ms. Lin. Jokingly, she said, "See, Mom? My wife spoils me. I've been spoiled rotten by her. Heh."

"You, my child..."

Ms. Lin's face showed a bewildered expression, blinking her eyes, she turned to her husband and exchanged a few seconds of eye contact. Both of them simultaneously made a clicking sound with their tongues, unable to laugh or cry.

"Qiao Qiao spoils you, that's because you're fortunate. But you should also change your habit of wasting food, you know?"

"Heh, I know, I know. Let's not criticize people at the dining table."

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Qi Yan stuck out her tongue, then turned to look at Lu Zhiqiao. The two of them exchanged smiles, conveying warmth through their gazes as if no one else was present at the dining table.

The elderly couple may have said they couldn't bear to look, but their hearts were filled with joy. Seeing their two children loving each other, caring for one another, and supporting each other was the best thing they could ask for. As parents, witnessing their children's happiness, safety, and smooth lives brought them complete satisfaction.

Only Lu Wei was the calmest..

The young girl ate her food self-absorbedly, with an oily mouth, and casually said, "Grandma, they are like this every day at home. I'm already used to it. Both you and Grandpa will get used to it too."

Everyone was momentarily stunned, and then laughter erupted at the dining table.

"Hahaha..."

After finishing their meal, the family went out for a walk to aid digestion.

Outside was quiet, without any wind. The sky was dark, with no sign of the moon. The first month of the lunar year was the coldest time, especially at night, when the cold seeped through clothes and chilled the bones. Before long, their hands and feet became stiff from the cold.

The streetlights in the neighborhood were bright, and though it was silent, nearby houses were lit up, creating a festive atmosphere.

Lu Zhiqiao initially planned to visit Shu Minxi on the way, but then remembered that person saying she would be going back to her hometown for the Spring Festival. She guessed there might not be anyone at home right now, so she dismissed the idea.

Because of the cold, the family only walked two rounds along the nearby path. They chatted about the wedding and discussed the wedding gifts for the newlyweds. They realized it was almost 8 PM and the elderly couple wanted to watch the Spring Festival Gala, so they all went back inside together.

Qi Yan and Lu Zhiqiao didn't enjoy watching the Spring Festival Gala, so they went upstairs when they got home. Lu Wei, on the other hand, was very considerate and voluntarily sat down to accompany her grandparents. The living room was filled with the joyful laughter of the three generations, creating a lively atmosphere.

"Wife~"

After closing the bedroom door, Qi Yan hooked her arms around Lu Zhiqiao's neck and called out to her with a coquettish voice, but then changed her tone after a moment, "Sister..."

Her delicate body hung against Lu Zhiqiao's, like a soft snake.

"What do you want to do again?" Lu Zhiqiao held onto her waist and leaned in to kiss the corner of her mouth, feeling her heart melting.

This person was truly mischievous.

Qi Yan blinked her eyes and said, "What does sister say?"

"I'm a bit tired today, so let's not do it. Is it okay for tomorrow? You can have your way." Lu Zhiqiao cooed softly, while her lips were restless, slowly moving from Qi Yan's corner of the mouth to her ear, teasing her as she always did, with teasing kisses and intoxicating breath.

The end of the year was the busiest time, and Lu Zhiqiao had been working overtime for a month straight. She didn't get home until after 9 PM yesterday. It was the first day of her vacation today, but she still felt a bit overwhelmed and needed some time to readjust.

In one month, they only did it three times.

On the other hand, Qi Yan had a strong desire, and she would feel uncomfortable if they didn't do it for three days. When they were still pursuing each other, she could barely get by with small toys. But now that they were together, having such a delicious lover by her side, there was no place for those small toys anymore.

One can imagine how difficult it was for her to hold back.

Compared to desire, she cared more about her lover. Enduring a little longer was no problem. She tilted her head and pressed her ear against Lu Zhiqiao's lips, deliberately trembling slightly, and whispered softly, "Then tomorrow, I want to see sister wearing the pigtail."

"..."

"Mm?"

“Okay.”

Lu Zhiqiao kissed her ear again, then pulled back, refraining from teasing her further to avoid getting herself tired from the ensuing playful banter.

After cuddling for a while, they turned on the air conditioning, took turns showering, and then sat on the bed while embracing each other. Lu Zhiqiao rarely had time to relax, so she picked up her tablet and started watching a drama. Qi Yan, on the other hand, had nothing to do and just wanted to bother her, so she kept interfering.

At times, she would block the screen with her hand, and other times, she would wave it in front of Lu Zhiqiao's eyes.

Lu Zhiqiao felt a bit helpless, but she wasn't angry. She caught hold of that mischievous hand and brought it to her lips for a kiss. She set aside the tablet, turned to the side, and embraced Qi Yan.

"Qiao—"

"Mm, I'm here, you troublemaker."

"Hahaha."

Qi Yan grinned and buried her face in Lu Zhiqiao's shoulder, gently caressing her fingers and intertwining them.

"From now on, don't eat my leftovers. I won't waste food."

"How do you still remember that?"

"Because I will be spoiled."

The head on her shoulder rubbed against her, fluffy and reminiscent of the touch of Naitang’s fur. Lu Zhiqiao's heart warmed, and she lightly pinched Qi Yan's ear, giving it a gentle rub. "I used to educate Niu Niu about not wasting food, and she has improved a lot. She now knows to only take as much as she can eat. Eating leftovers is just a normal thing. As I said, I want to spoil you."

"Also, educate me too."

"Hmm? How should I educate you?"

Qi Yan straightened her back, raised her hand, and gave the bed a firm pat. She cleared her throat and said with a serious tone, "Tomorrow, please educate me well, my esteemed wife."

For a moment, there was no response from the person next to her.

"You shameless brat."

A finger poked her forehead.

"Ah, I'm dead." Qi Yan dramatically flopped onto the bedding, pretending to be lifeless.

Lu Zhiqiao was taken aback but couldn't help feeling amused and annoyed at the same time. She pounced on her and blew air on her hand, tickling her ticklish spot. Qi Yan instantly woke up from the tickling sensation and burst into laughter. While protecting herself, she reached out and tickled Lu Zhiqiao back.

The two of them giggled and playfully wrestled, rolling into a ball.

The next day, on the first day of the lunar new year, it was customary not to visit others, and the streets were deserted. All the shops were closed, and there was nowhere fun to go besides staying at home.

The family spent the day singing karaoke and having a homemade barbecue, creating a lively atmosphere from morning till night. Lu Zhiqiao hadn't experienced such a harmonious and warm family atmosphere for a long time. She felt like she was dreaming, but the laughter and warmth of the people around her were so real that it moved her.

She could feel that she was accepted and had become a part of this family.

That night, the two of them made quite a mess in the room.

From half-past eight until past ten o'clock...

The room was a mess with empty boxes, toys, used finger covers, crumpled pieces of tissues scattered everywhere. The carpet next to the bed was wet and covered in lint, as if emanating an enticing scent.

"No more, my hand is sore."

"Mine is sore too."

"Other than our hands, there's nowhere else... Ouch!" Qi Yan got a tap on her forehead, and she quickly shut up, obediently kissing the face of the person next to her.

Lu Zhiqiao didn't exert much force on her hand, blushing, she glared at her and rubbed her forehead.

The air conditioner gently blew warm air, and the room was a bit dry. The two untidy figures embraced each other, leaning against the sofa. Their low and short breaths echoed in the room, silently flowing with tenderness.

"Qiao..."

"Mm?"

Qi Yan held her hand and gently massaged it, closing her eyes, as if speaking to herself, "At first, I really didn't think we could be together."

"..."

"At that time, I seriously thought about what I liked about you. Maybe I was just attracted to your appearance, or maybe I wanted to challenge something, the feeling of wanting to conquer something that's difficult to get. In short, there weren't genuine feelings."

"But later on, I realized that wasn't entirely true."

She opened her eyes.

Her deep pupils shimmered with watery radiance, resembling a glass of intoxicating amber wine.

Lu Zhiqiao inexplicably became nervous, and her fingers gradually clenched tightly.

The warm palm enveloped her hand.

She lowered her head, drawn into the whirlpool in her eyes.

"At that time, I thought you were particularly amazing. Even at such a young age, you were raising a child, working, constantly climbing the ladder, and still managing to present yourself beautifully. All of these require a lot of energy and willpower. In my mind, you were firstly a strong woman, the kind of strong woman that I liked and admired the most."

"You're right when you say that this world was built from a male perspective. That's why people like you are so rare, and I find it remarkable. On the other hand, I... well, although my parents haven't helped me in my career, I can't bear to admit that I don't rely on my family."

"My parents struggled when they were young, starting from scratch. I deeply respect them for that. I just feel like there's something missing in me, hah, I can't quite put it into words. But I see it in you."

"But... I never expected..." Qi Yan paused, taking a detour and deliberately elongating her tone.

Lu Zhiqiao's heart leaped to her throat, and she blurted out, "What did you never expect?"

Laughter filled the air.

"I never expected it, you know? That beneath the strong woman facade, you're actually so cute. You melt when I kiss you and blush at the slightest touch. Tsk tsk~" Qi Yan let go of her hand, rested her hand on her shoulder, and her soft lips lightly kissed her earlobe.

Lu Zhiqiao trembled slightly, but her tightly wound heart relaxed, and a smile appeared in her eyes. "So, were you disappointed?"

Contrary to Qi Yan's inner thoughts, Lu Zhiqiao initially thought this person was a bit frivolous, like a female rogue. She believed that she was merely tolerating her due to their "teacher and student" relationship. However, in hindsight, she realized that she didn't dislike Qi Yan.

Not disliking her meant continuing to interact and having all the opportunities and possibilities.

"No, I'm really happy."

"Mm?"

Qi Yan teased her delicate earlobe, and her hands became mischievous again. With a seductive tone, she said, "You, like this, have completely captured my heart."

There were many strong women, and she had encountered quite a few of them. But she had only seen their surface and hadn't delved deeper, so her interest in them remained limited to simple admiration. However, with Lu Zhiqiao... perhaps it was because of their unique relationship and the advantage of living close to each other that she had more opportunities to get to know her. As a result, her feelings gradually deepened, and she unwittingly fell for her.

"Because you were my first love," Lu Zhiqiao whispered softly.

Qi Yan's body stiffened for a moment. She cupped Lu Zhiqiao's face, stared at her for a while, and murmured, "Actually, I had a hunch that night at the bar..."

"What?" Lu Zhiqiao asked.

"You... were really tight. One finger was still manageable, but with two..." Qi Yan didn't continue.

She had only guessed that Lu Zhiqiao might not have any experience in that area, but she hadn't considered the direction of first love. Subconsciously, she still believed that a woman in her early thirties couldn't possibly have no romantic experiences at all.

Both of them blushed simultaneously.

Lu Zhiqiao covered Qi Yan's mouth and scolded, "Stop talking."

"Mmm, mmm, mmm."

A growl came from their stomachs.

They had eaten a bit too much during the barbecue at noon, and in the evening, they only had porridge, so they didn't feel satiated. After engaging in their activities for a long time, they started to feel hungry.

"I'm a little hungry. I'll go to the kitchen and see what we can eat." Lu Zhiqiao gently pushed Qi Yan aside, got up, and picked up her dropped bathrobe from the floor.

Qi Yan hummed from behind, "I want to eat too."

"Alright."

Lu Zhiqiao put on the bathrobe and left the room like a gust of wind. The central air conditioning had already been turned off, and the temperature outside was slightly cooler. She went downstairs to the kitchen and looked around. There was no leftover food, so she skillfully opened the refrigerator and saw a package of frozen dumplings, potstickers, glutinous rice balls, and custard buns.

After a moment of consideration, she took out a package of dumplings.

Footsteps could be heard approaching from outside. Lu Zhiqiao closed the refrigerator and turned around, only to see Ms. Lin entering. She was momentarily stunned. "Mom?"

"Oh, Qiao Qiao, are you hungry too?"

"...Mm."

She pursed her lips and smiled shyly.

Ms. Lin also smiled, her eyes looking at her like a beloved daughter, warm and doting. "Well, I'm feeling hungry too. Let me cook. You quickly go back to your room. It's cold outside. I'll bring the food up when it's ready." She gently patted her shoulder, took the package of dumplings, and turned to place them on the stove.

Lu Zhiqiao opened her mouth, wanting to say that she could do it herself, but Ms. Lin had already swiftly washed the pot and filled it with water. She unpacked the dumplings and poured them in. Lu Zhiqiao held back her words.

She had recently started changing how she addressed her, but she hadn't fully adapted yet. Although she no longer referred to Qi Yan's parents as "Boss Qi," subconsciously, she still couldn't relax completely. Even when her own parents were alive, she didn't dare to be as casual as Yan Yan. She believed that when interacting with elders, one had to be careful and respectful, always restrained and submissive.

"Qiao, why haven't you gone upstairs yet? Be careful not to catch a cold. Hurry up," the gentle voice brought Lu Zhiqiao's thoughts back. She stared at Ms. Lin blankly, suddenly remembering how her mother, even when she cared about her, never spoke kindly. The comparison couldn't help but make her feel a pang of sadness.

"I..." her lips moved, and she smiled. "It's alright, Mom. I'll stay here with you. The dumplings will cook quickly, so you don't have to bring them up by yourself."

Fine lines formed at the corners of Ms. Lin's eyes, as if she saw through Lu Zhiqiao's concerns. She took her hand and sighed. "Silly child, you're just too sensible. It hurts me to see you like this. Since you called me 'Mom,' just be more casual at home, like Yan Yan. She's used to it. However she is, you can be the same. Whatever belongs to her, also belongs to you. You're both my daughters."

Lu Zhiqiao's eyes slightly warmed, and something seemed to become clear in her heart. She softly responded, "Okay."
