Knocking on the Door All of a Sudden While Eating

"Senior Qingyue!?"

Su Cheng exclaimed in surprise, his face showing disbelief, as if he never expected Liu Qingyue to come directly to his house upon return.

Especially with a large suitcase right next to her, which further confirmed that her first action upon arriving was to come find him.

"Mm, I came in a hurry and didn't have the chance to inform you."

Liu Qingyue stood in front of the sofa, smiling gently, her voice soft.

On the other side, Cornelia looked at Liu Qingyue, then at Su Cheng, her pretty little face full of confusion.

"Um...?"

She tentatively called out.

Hearing this, Liu Qingyue directly winked at Su Cheng, turned to Cornelia, and gave a slight smile, then extended her slim, white hand, patting her shoulder and said with a smile, "We studied at the same school, so he calls me Senior Qingyue."

"Oh, I see."

Cornelia nodded, answering with a look of comprehension yet not quite understanding.

Su Cheng, standing by the door, though full of doubts in his heart and feeling something odd, still nodded upon hearing Liu Qingyue's words, as they were indeed both alumni of Flame City Private Academy. "Seems like you two have already met each other?"

"Yes, I just chatted with Senior Liu for a bit."

Hearing this, Cornelia affectionately hugged Liu Qingyue's arm, looking extremely close and unreserved.

At this moment, Liu Qingyue patted Cornelia's soft little head like an elder, smiling gently, "I really like Cornelia. I didn’t expect that after such a short time, you could find such a smart and lovely friend."

"Oh, you’re exaggerating..."

Hearing these words, Cornelia, quite flattered, blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look at the two.

"Senior Liu?"

Su Cheng, standing by the door, had a very complicated expression, and even looking at this scene a little made him feel awkward.

He knew that Liu Qingyue must have tricked Cornelia in his absence, otherwise, she wouldn’t look so obedient and shy.

"Ahem... you two can take a seat first, I’ll put away my things."

Su Cheng coughed awkwardly, walked into the house, and put his school bag in the bedroom, then placed the groceries in the kitchen.

At this time, Liu Qingyue and Cornelia were chatting together again.

"Senior Liu, where will you be staying today?"

"Of course, I’ll be staying with my junior here."

"Why not stay at my place? My house is right next door."

Cornelia looked nervous, seemingly not wanting her to stay with Su Cheng.

Seeing this, Liu Qingyue shook her head, "That’s too much trouble, I’ll just stay with my junior here."

"Ah... I see."

Upon hearing this, Cornelia's face showed disappointment and frustration, then she hung her head dejectedly, no longer speaking.

"What would Senior Liu like to drink?"

Suddenly, Su Cheng spoke from the kitchen.

"Orange juice, please."

Liu Qingyue replied with a smile, her eyes unconsciously glancing at Cornelia.

"Sure."

Su Cheng brought two bottles of drinks over, one orange juice and the other Eight-Treasure Walnut Drink. He handed the orange juice to Liu Qingyue and the Eight-Treasure Walnut Drink to Cornelia, his face solemn.

He hoped Cornelia would drink it and wake up, then see through her schemes.

That was all he could do, after all, he was still unsure what was going on.

"Thank you."

Liu Qingyue took the orange juice and smiled warmly.

Cornelia glanced at the Walnut Drink in Su Cheng’s hand, then at Su Cheng, took it, opened it and lowered her head.

"Glug glug."

After drinking, Cornelia’s face naturally showed a hint of contentment, placing the remaining drink on the table, continuing to be silent.

This made Su Cheng curiously wonder why she hadn't become smarter this time.

While Su Cheng was puzzled, Liu Qingyue took a sip of orange juice and said with a smile: "I’ll be troubling you these few days, I need to stay here for a few nights."

Upon hearing Liu Qingyue's words, Su Cheng showed an expression of surprise, but still nodded reluctantly and said: "It’s no problem, there are still quite a few empty rooms in the house."

Although he felt strange why Liu Qingyue didn’t return to the Ji family, considering these past few days Liu Qingyue had been busy with his affairs, he decided to agree first and send Liu Qingyue away later.

What he didn't expect, however, was the next moment—

"I also want to sleep with Senior Liu these days!"

Suddenly, after drinking a bottle of Eight-Treasure Walnut Drink, Cornelia made a stunning statement.

Both Su Cheng and Liu Qingyue looked at Cornelia in shock, Su Cheng asked: "You... what did you just say?"

"I said I want to sleep with Senior Liu!"

Cornelia looked determined, then added: "I mean it!"

"Won’t your family worry if you don’t go home?" Liu Qingyue asked next to her, quite surprised that Cornelia would make such a request.

"That’s no problem, I’ll explain to my family." Cornelia quickly explained, seemingly afraid of Su Cheng refusing, she then quickly added: "I find that there’s so much to talk about with Senior Liu, Jun Shan certainly won’t refuse."

It seemed she was telling Su Cheng: I’m here to stay with Senior Liu, not because of you.

Liu Qingyue naturally understood what Cornelia was plotting, she was definitely worried about Su Cheng and her staying together alone, after all, there was the situation of man and woman housed alone.

So she nodded toward Cornelia and said: "Okay, since your place is right next door, you’d better go home to prepare your toiletries and change of clothes first."

"Yes!"

Seeing Senior Liu had agreed, Cornelia excitedly stood up, totally ignoring Su Cheng’s reaction, and then merrily trotted back to her room, shortly after, a door closing was heard.

"Ah."

Su Cheng sighed helplessly, it was definitely not convenient having a girl stay at his house.

And with two of them, this made him feel incredibly uncomfortable.

Upon thinking this, he raised his head and looked at Liu Qingyue.

Seeing Liu Qingyue’s face carrying a faint smile, her beautiful eyes staring directly at him, as if expecting his next reaction.

"Is Senior still not going back?"

Su Cheng twitched the corner of his mouth, then asked calmly while pretending to be composed.

Now he only needed to send Liu Qingyue back, and Cornelia would naturally not stay at his house.

"Who takes a vacation near their workplace?"

Liu Qingyue shrugged with a smile, then added an explanation with a smile: "I haven't been ordered around by someone. It should be time to enjoy my holiday, otherwise, I'm way too pitiful."

"Don't you want me to be homeless, wandering helplessly in the streets?" she added, her face full of fear and sorrow, as if imagining the scene where Su Cheng wouldn’t let her stay and kicked her out.

"No, you could stay in a hotel though."

Su Cheng replied awkwardly with a wave of his hand, then said.

"Do you hate me?"

Liu Qingyue said this, her expression turning wronged, as if she had been bullied.

Su Cheng shook his head and said: "I didn’t mean that."

"Then I can rest assured, I’ll repay you."

"How will you repay me?"

"This."

Liu Qingyue pointed at her suitcase, then bent over and opened it.

"Clatter" echoed as the suitcase opened, revealing a neatly arranged maid outfit inside.

Immediately, the sorrow on her face disappeared, replaced by a professional-looking smile, "For now, I can only think of repaying you in this way."

Unexpectedly, for the next moment—

Su Cheng went silent all of a sudden, placing a hand on his chin as if contemplating something immoral.

Seeing Su Cheng like this, the smile on Liu Qingyue’s face froze.

Eventually, Su Cheng nodded: "In that case, that's settled."

"You took this seriously? I was just joking!"

After saying that, she kicked off and closed the suitcase.

"Since the matter is like this, there's no need to say more. I’ll prepare a room for you."

Su Cheng stood up and walked toward the guest room.

"Hey, if Cornelia sees me in this, she’ll probably see you as a pervert with strange fetishes, don’t you dare complain later!"

"It’s fine, just let it all go when she’s not around."

After saying that, he stepped into the guest room to get busy.

"The killing power of the maid outfit over a man is considerable."

Liu Qingyue muttered while staring at her suitcase.

She thought she could still tease Su Cheng for a while. She remembered that usually, Su Cheng would be shy and pretend not to be interested. But things had been different since she wasn’t around for a while. He no longer suppressed his desires.

Now, it makes her feel a bit embarrassed instead.

At this moment, Su Cheng's heart is very excited. After all, who could resist having a maid at home?

He has already imagined coming home in the future and seeing Liu Qingyue in a maid outfit greeting him at the door, saying, "Welcome home, Master~"

Just thinking about this scene makes one... hehe.

…………………………

Meanwhile,

Cornelia next door is tidying up her belongings, her face filled with excitement. As she organizes her things, she keeps repeating strange phrases excitedly: "Staying at Su Cheng's house~ staying at Su Cheng's house~"

"No way!"

Cornelia suddenly feels that she must show off to someone about this, or else Su Yue's visit would be in vain.

Thinking of this, she takes out her phone and clicks on Li Guanqi's chat box, sending a message.

"Oh, today Su Cheng's senior came to Su Cheng's house. She's a beautiful sister~ and we hit it off really well, so well that we even slept in the same bed tonight~"

After sending this message, she can't help but laugh. She can already imagine Li Guanqi's envious and reluctant expression.

"Hahaha~"

She gleefully puts her hands on her hips and laughs heartily, feeling an unprecedented sense of satisfaction, as if taunting Li Guanqi's weakness.

"Dingdong~"

Suddenly, her phone chimes with a notification.

Cornelia quickly looks down and sees that it's from Li Guanqi, with only three words and a question mark.

Li Guanqi: "Staying at whose house?"

Seeing this, her smile grows even broader. She quickly composes a message and eagerly taps send: "Staying at Su Cheng's house!"

She was waiting for Li Guanqi to ask this.

However, soon her smile disappears.

Li Guanqi only replied with one word!!!

Li Guanqi: "Oh."

What is wrong with this guy?

Cornelia instantly feels very dissapointed. She thought the other person would panic and ask her more questions, but instead, she showed such an attitude.

Doesn't she even care about Su Cheng’s senior?

"Hmph!!!"

Seeing the other's reply, she snorts coldly and continues to pack up her things.

………………………………

Meanwhile,

Liu Qingyue is sitting on the sofa interacting with Yaya.

She takes out some cereal from her suitcase to feed Yaya. It's clear she prepared this food specially before coming to Su Cheng's house.

Su Cheng, who just finished tidying the guest room, happens to see this scene. When he notices that Liu Qingyue is still wearing prescription glasses, he finds it somewhat mismatched.

So, he walks up to Liu Qingyue and subconsciously asks, "Senior, are you nearsighted?"

"Yes, I am. But I usually wear daily disposable contact lenses."

Liu Qingyue nods, puts the food on the table for Yaya to eat herself, and then takes off her glasses. She explains, "Actually, these aren't ordinary prescription glasses. They have the latest tracking functions."

As she says this, she points to the part on the right side of the glasses that hooks onto her ear and continues, "There's a high-performance sound receiver installed here."

Then, she points to the left side: "The left side has a special sound wave stimulator that acts on the ear drum. After placing a listening device, you can wear the glasses to eavesdrop, and the left lens is a liquid crystal screen that can locate the target's position and display their image no matter how far away."

After saying this, she unscrews a listening device from the glasses.

Seeing this, Su Cheng swallows hard.

This is way too sci-fi, way too cool, right?

Come on, no guy can resist it!

"Hmm, do you want it?"

Liu Qingyue gives Su Cheng a smiley look.

Su Cheng immediately nods vigorously, then shakes his head: "This thing must be very valuable, I'd better not touch it, lest I lose it."

"It's just a small gadget. If you feel bad about it, we can do the most primitive method: barter. How about it?"

Saying this, she takes out a charger and receipt from her suitcase and hands it to Su Cheng.

Su Cheng quickly reaches out to take it: "So, what does Senior want?"

"Hmm… let me think."

Liu Qingyue wrinkles her brow, then shows a look of distress.

After tilting her head and thinking for a while, she finally speaks up: "How about cigarettes?"

"No problem, do you know how to use them?"

"I know."

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng doesn't hesitate. He takes out half a pack of hard Hua Zi cigarettes from the space and tosses them to Liu Qingyue, who takes them, opens the box to look, finds there are many in there, then takes out only two and hands the rest back to Su Cheng saying, "Two is enough."

While Su Cheng is fiddling with the glasses, he nods and puts them away, replying, "Alright, if Senior feels like you need more, just ask me."

"It's enough for now, just the two of us."

"Do you have any enemies?"

Su Cheng questions curiously.

"Not exactly, it's for the last butler, and…"

"And?"

"It's…"

Liu Qingyue's words stop halfway before she continues, then happily leans close to Su Cheng, whispering softly, "It's for the young lady~"

Su Cheng is astonished, taking a few steps back, his face full of shock: "You're going to use it on her?!"

Then, seeing Liu Qingyue nods, he still can't believe it and asks again, "Senior, are you sure?!"

"Oh, I'm just kidding."

Liu Qingyue quickly waves her hands: "I wouldn't dare use it on the young lady, she's my master, after all~"

"Alright then."

Su Cheng feels relieved in his heart and doesn't know what to say, only nodding.

However, he doesn't know if giving cigarettes to a happiness monster is good or bad.

But this thought only exists for a few seconds before he tosses it into the back of his mind.

"Hehe… new toy."

He can't wait to put on these glasses because with this, he can attach the listening device to Yaya and achieve binocular surveillance and bionic hearing abilities.

After fiddling with them for a while, he starts bustling about in the kitchen preparing dinner, while Liu Qingyue watches TV in the living room.

Although she wanted to help, she was stopped by Su Cheng, who thought that Senior must have been very tired from her journey from the countryside, so she should rest and just wait for dinner.

After a long time, Cornelia also comes back from outside.

After putting away her things, she wants to go to the kitchen to help, wanting to leave a good impression of being a virtuous and considerate woman for Liu Qingyue.

But unfortunately, she is rejected by Su Cheng, who's reason was to keep Senior company and chat.

Ultimately, she also has to give up.

An hour later, the meal is ready.

Su Cheng carries the bowls and chopsticks to the living room, then calls out to the two, "You can wash your hands and come eat."

"Okay."

The two reply in unison, then head towards the bathroom.

Su Cheng sits on his chair, waiting for them to return.

Suddenly—

"Knock knock~"

Just as the two women emerge, there's a sudden knocking sound at the door.

This causes the three to look at each other with confusion, wondering who it could be knocking at this time?
