Hating Trouble

Qin Qing also stopped in doubt, only to realize that Gu An had ended up in the underpants section while walking out. 

Qin Qing could see that Gu An's little ears were flushed from behind. She felt the desire to tease him more. 

The tone was casual.

"Why did you stop? Wasn't this also a necessity for life?"

Qin Qing glanced around, and her eyes fell on a pair of large red underwear. She picked it up from the shelf and stuffed it into Gu An's hands.

"This color is pretty good. It is festive."

Gu An looked. It was as though he had a hot potato in his hand. 

"Poor taste!"

Gu An's face was blushing, and he wanted to put the underwear back. However, with his current height, he couldn't reach the shelf at all.

He paused for a while as if trying to suppress something. Thereafter, Gu An turned his face away and handed the underwear to Qin Qing.

"Put it back!"

Qin Qing saw Gu An's vigorous reaction and didn't feel ashamed. After complying, she couldn't stop complaining. 

"You really have no vision."

Gu An completely ignored Qin Qing. He quickly picked out a few items and proceeded to pay the bill.

Qin Qing meaningfully smiled behind Gu An. Wasn't this more interesting than keeping a straight face?

***

In Qin Qing's apartment.

Gu An looked at the spacious apartment. The decoration was simple yet full of grandeur.

Yesterday, Qin Qing was a pauper. The following day, she managed to buy a magnificent house. 

On the other hand, Qin Qing didn't care about Gu An's trivial thoughts. She nestled on the sofa as soon as she entered the house.

While fiddling with the mobile phone in her hand, Qin Qing spoke to Gu An in an informal tone.

"I want to tell you something before you can live in this house. Now that you have decided to follow me, you have to abide by my rules."

Qin Qing continued, "These days, you should be a bit familiar with me. I hate trouble very much, so the most important thing is that you absolutely don't cause trouble for me. Otherwise, I will mercilessly abandon you." 

She added, "Since you live and eat for free in my house, the housework, other than cooking, will be entrusted to you."

Gu An listened to Qin Qing's words in silence, and his reaction was immensely dull.

"Mhm."

***

During the following day, Qin Qing saw Gu An sitting on the sofa after waking up. 

Qin Qing casually scratched her head, but a trace of sleepiness remained in her eyes. 

"Morning."

Gu An didn't raise his eyelids. "It's already 11 o'clock."

Qin Qing just woke up, and her mind was a little sluggish. She paused for a while before responding. "Oh, good afternoon."

As she spoke, Qin Qing's eyes inadvertently caught sight of the toast and milk on the table, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled a bit.

"Not bad. You are so virtuous."

With Gu An's current stature, cooking was impossible. However, making toast was doable. 

Qin Qing enjoyed her breakfast, went to her room quickly, changed her clothes, and planned to go out.

Gu An noticed and jumped off the sofa. "Where are you going?"

Qin Qing, who was about to wear shoes, didn't pause and responded in an easygoing manner. "Kid, what do you want to do? Maybe you still want to follow me."

While Qin Qing was speaking, Gu An had already walked toward her front. "Yes."

Qin Qing scrunched her brows. "No, you are such an annoying kid."

As Qin Qing was about to leave, Gu An grabbed her sleeves. With stubborn eyes, Gu An uttered every word. 

"I also need to go."

Qin Qing paused for half a second, then pushed Gu An's hand away in irritation.

"Tsk, you are such a clingy child!"

Gu An's face was a little flushed because of these words. Although he had no memory, Gu An felt that this was the first time someone called him clingy, and he felt inexplicably ashamed.

"It's not clingy!"

He wanted to go out and walk around more. He couldn't think of anything more to say.
