Quenching

Wanli Fuguang and Wu Haofeng, who had been waiting in the stairwell, overheard the entire conversation. Once everyone had entered the new house, they slowly began to walk.

In the new house, Wanli Fuguang, Wu Haofeng, and Cheng Yiyi's best friend all arrived, and everyone started eating hot pot.

Yue Jiaorui's boyfriend joked.

"Huang Qiaqia, eat less, otherwise Wanli Fuguang will be too heavy to carry."

Huang Qiaqia, mouth agape, glared at Yue Jiaorui's boyfriend, then looked at the mutton in her hand, her chopsticks pausing for a moment.

"I'm fat, but I..."

Yue Jiaorui crossed her arms over her chest, her soft voice sounding somewhat sharp.

"Wanli Fuguang, you don't also think Huang Qiaqia is a bit chubby, do you?"

Yue Jiaorui's boyfriend leaned close to Wanli Fuguang's ear and reminded him.

“Yue Jiaorui’s pinches can hurt a lot. If she gets angry, I can’t help you.”

Wanli Fuguang's eyes held a smile, and his voice was soft.

What's the difference between fat and thin?

Cheng Yiyi felt indignant on behalf of Huang Qiaqia.

"Huang Qiaqia, you're not actually fat, you just have a bit of baby fat on your face and some flesh on your hands. Huang Qiaqia, stand up and let everyone see you."

With a "snap," Yue Jiaorui suddenly pressed down on the chopsticks in Huang Qiaqia's hand.

Huang Qiaqia, seeing the mutton, lay sprawled out on the table, looking utterly pathetic.

"Even if Huang Qiaqia isn't fat, she should eat less."

Liu Yuyi stared at Cheng Yiyi defiantly.

"Yes, stop eating. Do you want to gain weight?"

Huang Qiaqia obediently let go of the chopsticks in her left hand.

Liu Yiyi opposed Yue Jiaorui and Liu Yiyu's opinion, and now that they're a couple, what is Huang Qiaqia going to do?

"Huang Qiaqia likes to eat it. As long as it doesn't affect her health, there's no problem. Why don't you let her eat it?"

Yue Jiaorui unceremoniously removed Huang Qiaqia's left hand from the table.

“Now that Huang Qiaqia is in a relationship, Wanli Fuguang will definitely say that he doesn’t mind Huang Qiaqia. However, this lack of mind could very well become a catalyst for Huang Qiaqia to eat even more recklessly.”

Cheng Yiyi confidently took Huang Qiaqia's right hand and placed it on the table.

"Huang Qiaqia is just eating a little more of what she likes. She's not fat, so it doesn't matter. Why not take advantage of her good metabolism and eat more?"

"Only those who control their weight can control their lives. Huang Qiaqia, you need to learn self-control."

"Isn't it cruel to deprive yourself of your hobbies for the sake of your figure, even if you can't enjoy delicious food?"

"My preferences aren't limited to just eating; there are others too..."

The three girls started arguing over a bite of mutton Huang Qiaqia had.

Huang Qiaqia looked left and right, then sighed deeply. She had only eaten one bite of mutton; why hadn't she put down her chopsticks sooner and controlled her mouth? Back in the dormitory, she would have to coax the three "Empresses" for a long time.

Cheng Yiyi's boyfriend was the first to leave the table, and then called Huang Qiaqia over to him.

"Little fatty, I've always been curious about your weight. Come here and weigh yourself."

"It's all your fault for always calling me 'Little Fatty.' That's why they're arguing."

“Oh dear! Your boyfriends are all here, so you don’t need to coax them. Your best friend is a little embarrassed. You should quickly introduce Professor Wu Haofeng to her so that the two of them can have a private chat.”

"Oh yes."

Huang Qiaqia suddenly remembered the blind date and quickly ran to the living room to get some blueberries, grapefruit, papaya, and chocolate. She then followed Cheng Yiyi's boyfriend into the bright and cozy bedroom.

“I’ll go call my best friend and the professor, but the sunlight in this room is too bright, can you dim it a bit?”

Cheng Yiyi's boyfriend invited her best friend and Wu Haofeng to the bedroom.

Wu Haofeng glanced around the dimly lit room, then slowly turned his head and looked at Cheng Yiyi's boyfriend with a puzzled expression.

Cheng Yiyi's boyfriend chuckled as he closed the door, then shoved Huang Qiaqia hard and scolded her in a low voice.

"Why are you drawing the curtains in broad daylight?"

"Didn't you tell me to darken the room? How can I darken it if I don't draw the curtains?"

"I... should have had my friend carry you."

Cheng Yiyi's boyfriend was about to continue scolding Huang Qiaqia, but then he remembered that Wanli Fuguang was there, so he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Wanli Fuguang walked over unhurriedly, his voice tinged with a deep interest.

"Carry?"

Huang Qiaqia snorted and hurriedly ran over to take Wanli Fuguang's arm, pointing at Cheng Yiyi's boyfriend and complaining.

“He has a friend who likes to work out. Every time he sees me, he grabs the back of my shirt and lifts me up, saying that my weight is a good test of his arm strength.”

Cheng Yiyi's boyfriend was a little embarrassed and smiled at Wanli Fuguang.

Wanli Fuguang smiled broadly, looking at Huang Qiaqia with a smug expression.

Cheng Yiyi's boyfriend pushed Huang Qiaqia away, put his arm around Wanli Fuguang's shoulder, and whispered a promise.

"My friend has a girlfriend now, don't worry about it."

Huang Qiaqia pulled Wanli Fuguang over, put her arm around his arm, and solemnly warned him that he was Cheng Yiyi's boyfriend.

"Don't try to get close to him, he'll help me."

Wanli Fuguang's grin widened even further.

Huang Qiaqia tilted her head back, looking completely incredulous.

Why is he laughing even louder? Shouldn't he be "getting revenge" for himself?

The other two boyfriends, hearing Wanli Fuguang's hearty and carefree laughter, also came over, pushed Huang Qiaqia away, and curiously asked Wanli Fuguang about it.

"Wanli Fuguang, which school did you graduate from?"

"Not very well-known."

"What major did you study?"

"General majors"

"Which real estate company do you work for?"

"Not worth mentioning."

"A tycoon?"

"Enough to support Huang Qiaqia."

"What's so good about her?"

"Anywhere is fine."

"Heh, Huang Qiaqia isn't very bright. You're not already married, are you? You're just playing around with her!"

"I didn't sleep with her."

Wanli Fuguang's words silenced the boys.

With a creak, Wu Haofeng opened the bedroom door.

Upon hearing the sound, Huang Qiaqia quickly ran over, approached Wu Haofeng, tilted her head back, and blinked her big eyes.

"The girl didn't like me."

Huang Qiaqia carefully examined the girl in the room. She was fair-skinned, beautiful, and had a graceful figure. She was a fairy who could eclipse the moon and shame the flowers. He couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

"How beautiful! What a pity, Professor, otherwise..."

"Never mind, Wu Haofeng should focus on his career now."

Wanli Fuguang took Huang Qiaqia's hand and led her to the dining table.

Wanli Fuguang first tasted a bite of mutton, found it was a bit cold, and put down his chopsticks.

"Let's go eat another meal."

"I don't want to eat right now; delayed gratification really works."

Upon hearing the words "delayed gratification," a hint of displeasure flashed across Wanli Fuguang's face.

The sky was clear and the rooftops, bare trees, streets, and buildings looked as if they were covered with a fluffy white blanket, with a touch of crystalline ice flowers added to the glass windows.

Let's go out and have some fun!

Huang Qiaqia turned around and looked at Wanli Fuguang with a charming smile. Wanli Fuguang's eyebrows relaxed instantly, and he opened his arms to hug Huang Qiaqia. Wu Haofeng took their coats.

The boys looked out the window at the vast expanse of white, and couldn't understand what Wanli Fuguang liked about Huang Qiaqia.
