Fallen for You: The Idol and His Fan-Chapter 98 - 93: Date Day 2

The sound of the door closing signaled his rustling movements being shut out behind it, and the room suddenly fell silent, with only the "tick-tock" of the clock on the bedside table in the air.

The wall lamp cast a dim, weak yet warm glow.

Zhou Huaiyi watched the clock’s second hand tick away, and in that moment, overwhelming happiness surged in his chest.

Really, he just liked him so, so much.

——

The next day, due to his recent work schedule, Xiang Qichen woke up early.

Just as he finished brewing a cup of coffee in the kitchen, the phone on the coffee table started to ring. Xiang Qichen walked over and glanced at the caller ID—Sister Yan.

As expected.

He raised an eyebrow, answering the call: "Sister Yan."

"Qi Chen! What’s this about a five-year free endorsement for products under the Endless Group?" Yan Qing’s tone was unusually intense, her voice rising a few notches. "Why didn’t you discuss it with me?!"

Xiang Qichen remained calm, sitting on the sofa: "Give it to them. The Endless Group is a global enterprise, and endorsing them benefits us too."

"Of course, I know that! My point is! Why a free endorsement??" Yan Qing was baffled.

"Sister Yan." Xiang Qichen took a sip of coffee, his voice steady, "I’m with Zhou Huaiyi now."

Yan Qing was stunned for two seconds: "What?"

"I’ve already signed the contract with Fu Weiheng, and I’ll leave the remaining matters to you to negotiate."

Yan Qing: "But what does this have to do with you and Zhou Huaiyi being together?"

Xiang Qichen chuckled lightly and didn’t answer.

Everyone was perceptive, and Yan Qing had sensed it for a while. She wasn’t very surprised about them being together, but her tone suddenly shifted, asking, "Qi Chen, have you really thought this through?"

Xiang Qichen naturally understood what she meant, smiling, he replied, "I’ve thought about it for so long, so long that... I can’t wait any longer."

"So, are you planning to go public with your relationship?" Yan Qing asked.

"Let’s wait a bit..." He unconsciously looked towards the guest room door, "We’ll see how Zhou Huaiyi decides."

Yan Qing rolled her eyes: "Fine, I refuse to eat this dog food, goodbye!"

As soon as the call ended, the door clicked open, and Zhou Huaiyi emerged with messy hair.

"Awake?" Xiang Qichen set down his coffee and walked over, "What do you want for lunch?"

"Anything’s fine..." Zhou Huaiyi rubbed her eyes, mumbling indistinctly.

Xiang Qichen raised a hand to smooth her hair, laughing: "Go wash your face first."

Zhou Huaiyi blushed and ducked into the bathroom.

The feeling of waking up and seeing her dream man right there! It was just!

Too wonderful!

What to do!

Only one day into their relationship and she already wanted to marry him!

\(//∇//)\

...

After freshening up in the bathroom, she saw Xiang Qichen had changed clothes, and she was taken aback: "Are we going out to eat?"

Xiang Qichen glanced up at her, seeing her calm expression, and asked back: "You don’t want to go?"

No, afraid of being photographed...

She scratched her head, pondering for a moment, and said, "I’ll buy some groceries and cook for you?"

Xiang Qichen was taken aback, nodding: "Alright, I’ll go with you..."

Zhou Huaiyi quickly interjected: "No need, no need, I’ll go by myself, it won’t take long."

Without giving him a chance to speak, she turned and went to change in the bedroom.

Xiang Qichen watched the closed door, frowning slightly, feeling a bit empty inside.

,

Afraid that Xiang Qichen would be too bored at home alone, Zhou Huaiyi moved quickly, returning with a big bag of groceries in less than an hour.

She rang the doorbell and stood at the door, waiting for Xiang Qichen to open it.

When the door opened, Xiang Qichen reached out to take the heavy bag from her hands, saying: "Your fingerprint was recorded in the door lock before."

Zhou Huaiyi took off her shoes and entered, blanking out for a moment before responding, "Oh, right."

That time she’d switched souls.

Entering the kitchen, Zhou Huaiyi washed her hands and got busy.

Her efficient and orderly movements in the kitchen made Xiang Qichen’s heart flutter.

Not knowing how to cook, he couldn’t really help, so he leaned against the kitchen door, watching her intently.

No matter how busy Zhou Huaiyi was, she couldn’t resist that burning gaze behind her. Pausing for a moment, she set the vegetable knife down flat, turned her head slightly, and said somewhat helplessly, "Qi Chen... why don’t you wait in the living room?"

Xiang Qichen raised an eyebrow, standing still.

"You being there... distracts me..." Zhou Huaiyi muttered, lowering her head.

"Shall I help you?" He stepped in, rolling up his sleeves.

"Uh..." Zhou Huaiyi looked around the counter, then slid the cutting board towards him, saying, "Then you cut the vegetables, I’ll fry the shrimp."
