Chapter 87 -Live Together?

TN: "StreetCorner's Coffee Shop" will be changed to "Coffee Shop on the Street Corner".

Last week,because the second t.i.tle song of Chen Yijie’s new alb.u.m, “Long Time No See”has been brewing in the country, Yang Yi's small shop with the name“Coffee Shop on the Street Corner” has attracted the attention ofsome students and spread among the student community.

Although they felt that it was more likely just a coincidence, there were always some students who are sentimental that will come to the East Gate, come to his shop to drink coffee, and force Yang Yi to play the song over and over again, which made Yang Yi so sick of hearing it. (TN: The name of Yang Yi’s coffee shop was mentioned in the song “Long Time No See”)

Because ofthis “coincidence”, the popularity of Yang Yi’s coffee shop had an unexpectedincrease in the past week. From the original situation of three or fourcustomers a day at most, to almost no lack of customers every afternoon.

Although thenumber of customers wasn't a lot, only more than 20 customers a day, at least.i.t looks promising.

Unfortunately,the good times didn't last long. In the blink of an eye, it was already Julyand Jiangcheng Media University also began to have their holiday. The studentsgradually left the school. Yang Yi’s coffee shop became deserted again.

But Yang Yi wa.s.still very happy, he likes this kind of peaceful state. This gave him the timeto read books and listen to songs.

“Whydon’t I close the shop and take a few days off?” Yang Yi also came up withsuch an idea.

In fact, hehas closed the shop a number of times! From time to time, he would put away thesignboard and take his daughter to play around. A boss like him would have top.a.w.n his pants when doing anything. (TN: No idea what "p.a.w.n his pants" means.Comment if you know)

The goodnews was that Xixi, who has been staying with her mother for several days, was finallyback!

Mo Fei also cameto Yang Yi’s house for dinner with Xixi. She, who was a little tired andconfused before, has found her confidence again, and the cold and proud woman insungla.s.ses appeared in front of Yang Yi again.

But thistime, she came with her luggage!

“Recently,I have been a little tired from singing practice. Xiaojuan said that I shouldrest and come out to relax.” Mo Fei no longer needed to maintain a coldlook in front of Yang Yi. although her expression was still a little cold, hervoice was very soft. “I don’t know where to go, and I’m afraid of beingphotographed by a reporter, so I’ll stay in your house for two days, is that okay?”

Yang Yi knewwithout asking that his two songs had played a role. He had received athank-you email written by Mo Fei or Mo Xiaojuan.

“Ofcourse!” Yang Yi smiled and took the initiative to held out his hand.

Mo Feiunderstood, handed her luggage to Yang Yi’s hand, and then led her daughter tofollow Yang Yi upstairs.

“Mama,are you going to live with Papa, just like Xixi?” Xixi was so excited.This was the scene she had been waiting for. She couldn’t help jumping up thestairs. Xixi didn’t walk well and had to jump every time to go up the stairs.

“Yes,but only for two days.” Mo Fei said lightly, “Mama still needs towork. I’m going back in two days!”

“Okay.”Xixi was still very happy. She tilted her head and said innocently, “Then,tonight, will Papa and Mama sleep with Xixi?”

Well, thisquestion…

Yang Yi, whowas carrying her luggage, couldn't help but froze for a moment.

Mo Fei’scold and elegant face couldn't help flushing. She secretly glanced at Yang Yi’sburly and strong body. Her tone was no longer calm, and said angrily,“Xixi, what are you talking about?” (TN: Actual description of YangYi's body here was "back of a tiger and waist of a bear")

“Tonight,you sleep with Mama, and your Papa sleeps alone.” Mo Fei raised her voiceso that Yang Yi could hear her.

“Cough,yes, there are still many rooms upstairs. Papa will clean up later. I'm notafraid that I won't have room to sleep.” Yang Yi walked to the corner ofthe stairs, somewhat embarra.s.sedly looked at Mo Fei, and then said to Xixi.

“Isthat so?” Xixi pouted and said sullenly, “But Xixi wants to beaccompanied by Papa and Mama…”

But neitherYang Yi nor Mo Fei responded this time. They both felt that the topic was a bitawkward. Although Yang Yi was more open-minded, he made eye contact with Mo Feiwith a hint of inquiry.

In yourdreams! Mo Fei glared at Yang Yi angrily, and then she turned her head and herneck was a little red. (TN: She was blushing.)

Although MoFei grew up abroad, her family education is actually very traditional, so shehas always been a very conservative woman. Otherwise, when Yang Yi saved her, itwould not be the first time…

…….

At home, YangYi naturally does the cooking himself. He changed his style every time hecooked novel dishes for Mo Fei. However, no matter what kind of dishes, they weredelicious. Mo Fei, who was a little picky, even starts to taste celery, which shecould hardly touch before.

“Is itdelicious?” When Yang Yi saw Mo Fei move her chopsticks, he smiled andsaid, “I choose a relatively tender kind of celery, finely cut it, andthen stir-fry it with dried rolled bean curd and agaric. This will make thecelery taste much lighter and more delicious.”

“Hmm.”Mo Fei eating posture was still very elegant. When she eats a piece of celery, sheholds it like a hamster. She nibbles at it a little bit and doesn’t want toopen her mouth, as if it would affect her image.

But Xixi atehappily. She became unrestrained at her father’s house, with her little spoon spillingthe rice in the bowl all over the table.

Yang Yi, aguy with obsessive-compulsive disorder, actually feels very uncomfortable everytime he sees Xixi like this, but he's gradually getting used to it. She will spillit anyway. He'll just clean up after dinner…

But Xixididn’t like celery. She shook her head and asked her father to pick out thecelery. Then she pointed to the white bean curd and said, “I don’t want toeat celery. It tastes terrible. Xixi likes this!”

“Youcan't be picky about food. Children need to eat everything to have a balancednutrition.” Mo Fei gave Xixi a chopstick full of celery and educated her seriously.

Suddenly, MoFei turned her head and glared at Yang Yi, who was smiling, and said, “Whatare you smiling at? Am I wrong? “

Yang Yi smiled,shook his head, and said, “Your reprimanding Xixi about this, but when Iwas cooking just now, who was the one who said that she didn’t want to eatcelery?”

“Yeah!”Xixi thought she was supported up by her father, so she pursed her little mouthand agreed.

This was toeducate her daughter! This guy actually undermined herself! Mo Fei was so angrybut she didn’t want to show the two of them quarreling in front of Xixi. Underthe table, she stretched out her foot and kicked Yang Yi.

But who knew,she accidentally kicked on Yang Yi’s shin bone, so hard, that she almosttwisted her foot.

“Hiss…”Mo Fei frowned and gasped.

Yang Yi’sreaction was actually a little slow. In a comfortable environment, he let hisguard down a lot, and it wasn't until Mo Fei kicked him that he reacted.

But he actedvery quickly. He subconsciously reached out and grabbed Mo Fei’s feet.

It's a.s.smooth as brocade…

Mo Fei wa.s.still wearing black stockings!

Yang Yididn’t realize that what he doing was wrong. Instead, it was the feeling thatmade him touch it subconsciously, from the ankle to the foot*… pet.i.te, warm, andsmooth… (TN: * not sure if "foot" is the right word, but that was what waswritten. It might be the heel, or the bottom of the feet.)

At thispoint, it suddenly occurred to him that what he was doing was wrong. He lookedup and saw that she was frowning in pain, but Mo Fei looked at him with shameand indignation.

Bad thing!(TN: She was telling him with her looks that he was doing bad things.)
