Chapter 400: Chapter 400 A Little Joy (2) Chapter 400: Chapter 400 A Little Joy (2) Qin Yize’s hand holding the small spoon tightened.
Yet, a hard-to-explain emotion also rose in his heart, seemingly sour, with a hint of sweetness, at this moment, there was only one person in his eyes.
He wanted to kiss her rosy lips, which surely tasted sweet.
Moved by his emotions, he leaned forward slightly, only to see the carving knife in Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand resting on the black stone.
Qiaoqiao was very focused.
She didn’t even look at him.
He finally came to his senses, straightened his body, steadied his mind again, and asked softly, “Is it good?”
Without lifting her head, Gu Qiaoqiao replied, “It’s good.”
A tender light flickered in Qin Yize’s starry eyes, his lips curved with a smile as he continued feeding her, spoon by spoon.
After the first bite, the second bite felt even more natural.
Gu Qiaoqiao let herself go.
She focused on eating while carving, free of any psychological pressure.
Because she didn’t need to look up at Qin Yize at all.
Soon, the line pattern Gu Qiaoqiao had been working on was successfully completed.
And a small bowl of ice cream had also made its way into her stomach.
Gu Qiaoqiao put down the carving knife.
Qin Yize quietly moved the small bowl to the side.
Then, looking at the piece of black stone, he asked, “May I take a look?”
He had given this piece of stone to Gu Qiaoqiao a few days ago.
It had always been in his office before this.
There was just a rough outline, but you could already tell it was a cheetah ready to pounce.
Gu Qiaoqiao passed the stone and said, “It’ll take about a week to finish carving.”
Qin Yize took it, examining it as he said, “No hurry.”
Gu Qiaoqiao leaned back in her chair, stretched lazily, and Qin Yize put down the stone without handing it back to her, instead asking gently, “Tired?”
“I’ve only been carving for a little while, not tired at all,” said Gu Qiaoqiao, her voice unintentionally coquettish.
Qin Yize’s spirit was shaken by her tone, his gaze affectionate, his voice tender, “You should rest a bit, anyway.”
After thinking it over, Gu Qiaoqiao placed her carving knife on the table, tilted her head, and asked Qin Yize, “How is Zishu doing in the military camp?”
“He couldn’t be happier.”
“I thought as much,” Gu Qiaoqiao laughed.
“He’s tanned, but he looks more solid now.”
“Is the military academy hard to get into?” Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly asked.
Qin Yize pondered for a moment then replied honestly, “With Zishu’s current grades, definitely not.”
“Ah…” Gu Qiaoqiao sighed, “If only he had one-tenth of Qianqian’s diligence, we’d all be satisfied.”
“No rush, there’s still three years.”
“He listens to you, talk to him properly, let him know he needs to study hard or else threaten him,” Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes sparkled as she spoke.
Qin Yize raised an eyebrow, amused as he looked at her, “How should I threaten him?”
“Just say, if he doesn’t study well, you’ll stop talking to him forever, he’ll surely worry,” explained Gu Qiaoqiao earnestly.
Qin Yize laughed, asking slowly, “Am I that important to him?”
“Of course, you are,” Gu Qiaoqiao nodded vigorously, earnestly saying, “You are very important in his heart.”
Qin Yize stared intently at Gu Qiaoqiao, wanting to ask, Qiaoqiao, then what about me in your heart?
But he never asked that question.
There seemed to be a faint mist enveloping his expression.
Unseen by anyone, his emotions remained a mystery.
He fiddled with the black stone, his voice carrying a laugh, “Okay, I’ll try talking to him when I visit the Special Preparation Team the day after tomorrow.”
