[R18] These men are poisonous – “These Men Are Poisonous” Chapter 190 [English]

New Year’s Eve

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or intentional, but according to the “duty schedule”, it was Gao Xia who took care of Zuo Ning on New Year’s Eve.

However, on such an important festival, everyone has their own home to return to and family members to accompany them, and it is true that only Gao Xia can be with Zuo Ning.

Oh, there is also Qiu Yibai this year.

Early in the morning, Qiu Yibai came to Zuo Ning and discussed with the two people who were having breakfast about celebrating the festival together.

Zuo Ning looked at him seriously: “Are you sure you don’t want to go back?”

According to the information she learned from Qiu Tongxin, although Qiu Yibai has completely severed ties with the Qiu family, he will occasionally visit his grandfather who is old and in poor health. On days like the Spring Festival, I believe the old man will definitely ask him to go back.

“Where to go? It’s not my home anymore.” Qiu Yibai shrugged indifferently, “After the Chinese New Year, all those messy relatives have left, and then I can go visit grandpa alone.”

Gao Xia took out a napkin and wiped his mouth: “I just found a nearby supermarket that is still open. I’m going to buy food and cook. Can we come together?”

If Zuo Ning hadn’t been able to walk faster than a tortoise without the crutches, she would have really wanted to go out for a walk with them, but she was lame and could only stay at home alone, bored.

When the two men came back from the supermarket, she was shocked by the large and small packages in their hands: Spring couplets, Chinese characters for blessing, Chinese knots, various nuts, fruits, vegetables, meat…

“Isn’t it right? We had a lot of food during the Mid-Autumn Festival that time, and now we have to prepare a full banquet for the Chinese New Year?”

“If you like, that’s fine. I’m very confident in my cooking skills.” Gao Xia smiled at She, “Don’t you like the feeling of home very much? Now, isn’t this your home? It’s time to clean up after the New Year.”

So, while Zuo Ning, who had limited mobility, continued to curl up on the sofa like an old man, Gao Xia and Qiu Yibai had already clearly divided their duties and started doing housework, sweeping, mopping, cleaning windows, and cleaning every corner of the house.

In fact, in order to behave well in front of Zuo Ning, the men would also help her clean the house when they came to take care of her, so her apartment had always been very clean and tidy, but today it was cleaned more carefully by them, and it did look brand new.

After eating the so-called “very simple, eat whatever you want” lunch made by Gao Xia, which was actually a rich lunch, the two men watched a movie with Zuo Ning for a while, and then continued their busy work.

Gao Xia was in the kitchen preparing the ingredients for tonight, starting to make some cold dishes, desserts, and boiled many kinds of soups, while Qiu Yibai went to the door to post Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters.

Of course, this kind of treatment is limited to the apartment of the three of us. The door of the other four men’s rooms is still deserted.

“Ning Ning, can you please listen to the Spring Festival couplets I chose for you?” Qiu Yibai stood outside the apartment with the door wide open, and read seriously to the walls on both sides, “The moon moves the willow trees across the pavilion, and the wind brings the plum blossoms to their seats. The Spring Festival couplets in the supermarket are too vulgar, but I chose these from a small shop on the roadside that specializes in selling New Year’s goods. I feel that this is the only one that suits you best.”

“That’s good. So what did you choose for yourself?”

“A gentleman is neither worried nor afraid; a husband can bend and stretch.”

“Pfft!” Zuo Ning finally couldn’t help laughing, “Where do you feel you have been wronged?”

“What do you think?” Qiu Yibai closed the door and walked in, bending down to press a kiss on her forehead, “I will definitely defeat all my love rivals. Today next year, we will definitely be the only ones celebrating the festival together.”

“It just so happens that this is what I want to say.” Gao Xia happened to come out of the kitchen and looked at he with a gentle smile. There was no provocation in his eyes, but the two good brothers still had an aura of competition with each other.

Zuo Ning was still thinking that these two people would not fight during the big holiday, but the two of them acted as if nothing had happened. One returned to the kitchen, the other hung the Chinese knot in the entrance hall, and Qiu Yi even went to the kitchen to help after Qiu Yi finished her work in vain.

I have to say that after being tossed around like this by the two of them, the whole house was really filled with a festive atmosphere, especially when Zuo Ning saw the big table of New Year’s Eve dinner, Zuo Ning was even more stunned.

“Gao Xia, when you come back, you must go on TV to show off your cooking skills, otherwise it will be a real loss. If your dish is posted on Weibo, you will probably be the number one hot search in the past two days.”

Seeing the stars in her eyes, Qiu Yibai curled his lips dissatisfiedly: “I also helped, why don’t you praise me?”

“Okay, okay, I’ll praise you, praise you, we Xiaobai are the best, okay?”

Seeing her look like teasing a child, Qiu Yibai glanced at her angrily: “I have two bottles of good wine over there, I’ll get them.”

While eating, Zuo Ning’s cell phone on the table never stopped. It kept alerting him that there was an incoming message. He knew without looking that it must be from one of the other men.

After she had finished drinking and eating, she responded to WeChat messages one by one, and even had a video call with Yu Haonan and Fang Jinglun. The Spring Festival Gala she had been talking about watching was broadcast on mute without knowing where it was, and the two busy men in the kitchen had also packed up and left.

“Were you on a video call with Fang Jinglun just now?” Qiu Yibai pulled her into his arms as soon as he sat down, “Why weren’t you so gentle when you made a video call with me before?”

“Am I not gentle enough to you?” Zuo Ning curled his lips helplessly, “Obviously I am gentler to you than to him, right? I am often harsh on he, am I often harsh on you?”

“Yes.” Qiu Yibai’s eyes could not hide the smile. Watching the seven or eight stars on the TV screen singing a song together like a hodgepodge, he couldn’t help complaining, “The Spring Festival Gala in recent years has become more and more boring. The popular ones crowd together, the ones who are terrible at singing have to sing, and they can’t even get the mouth shape right, and the ones with bad acting skills dare to act in sketches.”

Zuo Ning nodded in agreement: “It’s quite boring. I originally wanted to watch the Spring Festival Gala to suit the occasion, but who knew it would be so boring.”

Qiu Yibai raised his eyebrows: “How about we do something that is not boring?”

Zuo Ning was very familiar with what this look in he meant, but when she thought that Gao Xia was still around, she still shrank back subconsciously: “I just finished eating…”

“It’s been a long time since we had dinner. We don’t stay up late anyway, so let’s go to bed early.” After saying that, he picked up Zuo Ning and walked to the bedroom.

Zuo Ning could only hold on to He’s neck to prevent him from falling, but before entering the bedroom, she couldn’t help but glance at Gao Xia, and saw that He was looking at them with a normal expression, but his eyes were dim, and he didn’t know if he was angry.
