Xiu Gou's Taming Record

Chapter 163 must appear frequently.

Will you come more often in the future? Have you gotten used to sleeping here?

She looked up at Bai Xinran, who had already turned around to make tea.

It sounded like a casual, polite remark.

But Ning Yutong felt it wasn't just polite talk, and the words sounded rather strange.

Shen Yueling picked out the fried bacon and placed it on a plate, her voice calm: "A-Ling is right, you can come and stay anytime you want in the future."

Ning Yutong pursed her lips: "A-Ling?"

"You can call me that too, it's my live stream ID." Bai Xinran returned with a teacup.

"Ah!" Ning Yutong was taken aback. "Sister A-Ling?"

"Okay," Bai Xinran replied, "There's a room available here. You can come and stay here on weekends or whatever."

Ning Yutong didn't know what to say.

Agreed? That's tantamount to admitting you'll come back in the future.

Saying "no need" would seem too distant.

She had mentioned before whether she could come over often, but she has a lot of classes and at the beginning of the semester she also has to spend time getting along with her roommates, so she doesn't have much time to come over.

He didn't come here much before he confessed his feelings, so what's the big deal about coming here so often now?

"Hmm...we'll see," she said finally, her voice a little dry.

"Let's eat first," Shen Yueling said. "It looks like Yu Heng won't be coming back."

Bai Xinran chimed in, "The master must have had something to do this morning; he said he'd be back later."

She said the word "master" so naturally that Ning Yutong's ears felt hot.

I remembered Bai Xinran saying last night, "I am my master's dog."

I was shocked at the time, but now I'm actually getting used to it.

Habits are truly terrifying things.

The three of them finished breakfast.

Shen Yueling got up to clear the dishes, and Ning Yutong also stood up: "I'll help wipe the table."

"Okay." Shen Yueling didn't refuse and handed her the rag.

After wiping the table, Ning Yutong took the rag to the sink to rinse it.

Bai Xinran was washing dishes, her sleeves rolled up to her elbows, revealing clearly defined forearm lines.

Ning Yutong glanced at it and then looked away.

It was only a little past nine o'clock when I finished all this.

It's Sunday today, and I don't have any classes. Saying I'm leaving now seems a bit deliberate.

Shen Yueling dried her hands and walked out of the kitchen: "Want to sit in the living room for a while?"

"Okay..." Ning Yutong said.

Ning Yutong sat down on the sofa, feeling a little awkward.

I've never felt this way before when I came here.

Her mindset had definitely changed; she was starting to regret confessing her feelings.

It seems nice to keep things ambiguous like that; things are just not comfortable like this now.

"Want to play some games?" Bai Xinran suddenly asked.

"A game?" Ning Yutong turned to look at her.

"Hmm," Bai Xinran took the controller out from under the coffee table, "It's the one Master took us to play last time, 'Mischief in the Kitchen'."

Shen Yueling picked up another controller: "Sure, I've got nothing else to do anyway."

Ning Yutong has never played this game.

But she doesn't want to leave now, and she doesn't know what to do.

Playing video games seems like a good option.

"How do you play?" she asked.

"It's very simple," Bai Xinran handed her one of the handles, "It's just about cooking together, I'll teach you."

-

Yu Heng opened the villa door, and laughter and sound effects came from the living room first.

Is this a game? Ning Yutong hasn't left yet?

He closed the door, tossed the key on the entryway cabinet, and changed his shoes.

In the living room, the girls sat on the carpet with their backs to him, facing the television screen.

Shen Yueling sat cross-legged, Bai Xinran knelt beside her, and Ning Yutong half-lay on a cushion.

The TV screen was a mess, with pots and pans scattered all over the floor.

"Put in lettuce! Lettuce!" Ning Yutong's voice was a little urgent.

"I have a meat pie in my hand!" Shen Yueling said.

"Give it to me, give it to me," Bai Xinran's little figure leaned forward, "I have a plate here."

Yu Heng walked over and stood behind the sofa to watch.

All three of them were wearing pajamas, and Ning Yutong's pink one... seemed to belong to Shen Yueling.

She also applied for off-campus accommodation a couple of days ago and moved all her belongings from the dormitory over.

Shen Yueling's application for off-campus accommodation went surprisingly smoothly; her family simply made a phone call, and her advisor signed the form on her behalf.

When Yu Heng found out, he seriously suspected that Qin Lu was deliberately trying to make things difficult for him.

Shen Yuling's pajamas had a rather low neckline, and given Ning Yutong's ample figure, it was difficult for her to avoid accidentally exposing herself while lying down like that.

The little characters in the game ran around, but in the end, the kitchen still caught fire.

After a while, the time was up, and the message "Level failed" was displayed.

"Sigh..." Ning Yutong sighed softly, burying her face in the cushion. "It didn't work out again..."

Shen Yueling put down the controller and rubbed her wrists: "I'm still too unfamiliar with this new menu."

"Master is back." Bai Xinran noticed Yu Heng first, looked up at him, and said, "You're back."

Shen Yueling also turned around, glanced at him, and said nothing.

Ning Yutong froze for a moment, climbed up from the cushion, sat up straight, and tugged at her collar.

Yu Heng walked to the carpet and sat down next to Bai Xinran: "You guys keep playing, don't worry about me."

Bai Xinran handed him the controller: "Do you want to play?"

"You guys play," Yu Heng said, not taking the bait. "I'll watch."

He stretched out his legs and leaned back on the sofa.

From this angle, you can see the profiles of the three people.

Shen Yueling's expression was indifferent, but a hint of a smile lingered in the corner of her eyes.

Bai Xinran naturally rested her head against his leg.

Ning Yutong sat upright, appearing somewhat nervous.

Yu Heng looked at them.

What a harmonious scene!

The scene was so harmonious that he felt it should happen often.

No, it must occur frequently.

-

Yu Heng kept looking at Ning Yutong, the meaning in his eyes was very clear.

Ning Yutong naturally noticed it too. She subtly tugged at the collar of her pajamas again, but the fabric was a bit slippery, so she couldn't pull it up much.

She glanced at the other two people, whose attention was focused on the screen.

The presence of other people in the room gave her a strange sense of excitement.

Shen Yueling put down the controller after playing the game for a short while.

"I'm not playing anymore," she said, pursing her lips. "It's almost noon, time to eat."

"Hmm," Bai Xinran responded, standing up from the carpet. "I'll go make lunch. What would Master like to eat?"

"Anything's fine with me," Yu Heng said without looking at her. "Yutong, would you like to stay for lunch?"

Ning Yutong originally planned to make an excuse to leave, but Yu Heng made her stay...

"I..." I hesitated for a moment, but I still felt it was better to leave.

"Stay," Yu Heng decided for her. "A-Ling is an excellent cook."

"Oh," Ning Yutong pursed her lips, "Okay."

Bai Xinran turned and walked towards the kitchen, while Yu Heng looked at Shen Yueling again.

"Why don't you go help out too?" he said. "Two people can get there faster."

Shen Yueling was picking up her water glass to drink when she heard this and paused for a moment.

She glanced at Yu Heng, then at Ning Yutong sitting next to her.

"Okay." She put down her water glass, stood up, and walked towards the kitchen.

The living room suddenly fell silent, and Ning Yutong bit her lip.

There were three people a moment ago, but now it's just her and Yu Heng left.

She also got up, wanting to go to the kitchen to help wash the vegetables or something.

Seeing her stand up, Yu Heng leaned back on the sofa and said, "Sit here for a while, dinner will be ready soon."

"Ah," Ning Yutong paused upon hearing this, then sat down on the sofa. "Okay."

"Is the game fun?" he asked.

Ning Yutong turned her head and met his gaze.

"It's alright," she said. "I'm not very good at it."

"Didn't sleep well last night?" Yu Heng squinted. "You have some dark circles under your eyes."

"A little," Ning Yutong said, "I'm a bit unsure about the bed, and I also have a bit of a stiff neck."

"You have a stiff neck?" Yu Heng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "Shall I massage it for you?"
