192: Chapter 192 What's so interesting about under the covers?

"Why are you still looking down? Hurry up and eat, or you won't have any energy later. Don't even think about begging for mercy," Li Luo said with a smirk.

Seeing this, Gu Yuqing picked up her bowl and chopsticks. Though she was still shy, her words remained stubborn.

"I'll eat! It's not certain who will chicken out first. I'm just afraid someone will end up like a soft-shelled shrimp and I'll have to teach him the meaning of the word 'hard'."

...

Li Luo was amused by the Girl's words. He put down his chopsticks and gave her a thumbs up.

"Impressive. Someone who's trained really is different. You're amazing; even your tone is so arrogant."

"Since that's the case, I won't drive for Didi tomorrow, and you shouldn't go to work either. We'll start our final battle tonight. We'll eat when we're hungry, rest for a bit after eating, and then get back to the battle. We'll keep going until midnight tomorrow to decide the winner."

Gu Yuqing was dumbfounded by her man's words.

After a moment, she snapped out of it and muttered to herself.

"That's too much. Are you sure you're not trying to kill me?"

"You could say that. Martial arts world rules: we determine who's superior and decide life or death."

"Then go battle someone else. I haven't lived long enough yet."

Gu Yuqing said, shoveling a few mouthfuls of rice before continuing.

"I have things to do at the company tomorrow and can't get away. I have a design proposal to submit."

"Fine, since your company has things for you to do, I won't hold it against you."

Li Luo was naturally just joking around; after all, his body wasn't that incredible yet.

Besides, when it comes to exercise, once the novelty wears off, it's just the same old thing.

As for the company the Girl was working at, Li Luo didn't plan to reveal it. He believed that when they all had dinner together, the scene would definitely be spectacular.

Thinking of this, Li Luo put those thoughts aside and focused on enjoying dinner with the Girl.

"That's... enough, enough. Hubby, let's stop here. I have to get up early for work tomorrow," Gu Yuqing pleaded, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

"How can you be like this? Do you have any professional ethics?" Li Luo said with a look of dissatisfaction.

"But if we keep going like this, will I even get to sleep?"

"Even so, you should finish what you start. You can't just give up like that."

"Fine, fine, I can't win against you. Let me rest for a bit. I'll accompany you after a short break," Gu Yuqing said, lying on the bed with a look of total resignation.

"Let's change positions! Don't talk about resting; if you rest, you'll fall asleep in a moment."

"Change... change positions? Don't tell me you want..."

"What are you thinking?" Li Luo said, shooting the Girl a glance.

"I'm telling you to put your head under the covers and take a look."

"What's there to see under the covers?"

Gu Yuqing leaned in, confused.

"Where did you learn all this messy stuff?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up, I want to sleep."

"All you know how to do is be mean to me."

Seeing her man's impatient expression, Gu Yuqing muttered aggrievedly and then went silent.

Time passed slowly.

Li Luo leaned against the headboard, feeling refreshed as he played on his phone.

After washing up, Gu Yuqing returned to the bed.

"Are you satisfied now? Can I sleep?"

Seeing the Girl's cheeks puffed out like a pufferfish, Li Luo shook his head in amusement.

Then, he picked up the phone from the nightstand and transferred one million to her on the spot.

He also used a level one cashback card.

*Ding.*

Seeing that her man didn't respond, Gu Yuqing didn't mind.

Just as she was about to charge her phone, she heard the notification sound.

Without thinking much, she opened it to check.

When she saw the transfer amount on her phone, Gu Yuqing's eyes widened, and her body couldn't stop trembling slightly.

"Hubby, I love you to death!"

Screaming, Gu Yuqing pushed her man down onto the bed and then launched an indiscriminate attack on him.

[Gu Yuqing's Favorability +10, Current Favorability: 65]

"Alright, alright. My face is covered in spit; it's gross."

"Hmph, I just brushed my teeth. How is it gross?"

Gu Yuqing naturally knew her man was teasing her. She got up to charge her phone and immediately burrowed back into his arms.

"Are you still unhappy now?" Li Luo joked.

"No, not at all. My whole heart belongs to Hubby now. If you don't believe me, listen."

As Gu Yuqing spoke, she took his hand and placed it on her snowmen.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and sleep. You have to work tomorrow. Remember to claim the money later," Li Luo said, kneading and then giving her red nose a little squeeze.

Seeing this, Gu Yuqing gave him a coquettish roll of her eyes.

"Hubby, I know. I'll claim it tomorrow morning."

"Mhm. Go turn off the lights, then lie in Hubby's arms, and let's go to sleep together!"

"Okay, Hubby. I'm reluctant to leave your embrace."

After turning off the lights, the Girl kissed her man again, found a comfortable position, and closed her eyes.

The next day, 8:00 AM.

Seeing that the Girl beside him was gone, Li Luo got out of bed and walked to the window. He pulled open the bedroom curtains, and instantly, sunlight streamed in through the glass.

Then, he picked up his phone and found three messages. Aside from the two sent by the Girl at seven o'clock.

The other one was a bank card deposit notification.

Seeing the number 1 at the front, he thought he was lucky and got a full multiplier, but upon closer inspection, he realized a zero was missing.

...

After grumbling to himself, he opened the WeChat interface.

[Gu Yuqing: Good morning, Hubby. Love you.]

[Gu Yuqing: Hubby, I cooked some porridge in the kitchen, and there are side dishes in the fridge. When you wake up, remember to eat something to warm your stomach.]

Li Luo's lips curled up slightly after reading. He put down his phone and walked toward the washbasin.

After washing up, he went to the kitchen. Seeing the steaming porridge in the stew pot, Li Luo used a ladle to serve himself a bowl.

He then took the side dishes out of the fridge. Pairing the two together—a mouthful of porridge, a bite of side dish—he felt quite relaxed and at ease.
