Chapter Seven
I didn't think that Ke Luo would really come the next day just because he had said so
When I slept with pretty boys, I’d be in high spirits and would always say I’d pluck the moon for themI had gotten fed up of eating so much of the food yesterday that I lost interest in those takeouts with the saan toWhen I caroceriesIt had been so long since I’d bought grocery foodI had no idea what side dishes to pickI looked east and westAnything that I htIn the end, I carried two very large bagsBack hoe, I felt a bit troubledI currently couldn't afford to hire someoneIf I wanted to eat, I could only e, racking my brain for recipesDon’t look down onmaster born with a silver spoon in his mouthThere’s no sense that I wouldn't know the basic survival skillsI just had no interest in itCooking is a survival instinct for when there’s nofun about itA rancid s it h I had washed my hands several times, I couldn't disperse that sreen peppers, I couldn't decide for a while how er and scallions
The shriLeaked water dripped down the table,ured out what to do with them
I blindly prepared some side dishes and didn't pay any particular attention to whether they looked good or notPlacing the pan, I waited until it was hot to pour some oilAfter the oil heated up, I threw every bits and pieces inThen when it crackled, I hastily began stir-frying
Hearing the noise froarlic were overcooked, the kitchen filled with smokeThe kitchen exhaust hood was uselessI’ne or the faint sarette sreen pepper and shredded meat
So I had coainst the invasion of the se out of and a shower cap on my headI stood on full alert as I cooked
The activity in the kitchen was so hectic that I couldn't hear any outside soundWhen so dinner?”I nearly tossed the pan as well
“Did I scare you?”Ke Luo chuckled“I greeted at the door, but you didn't hear me”
He had just come back from the company:fresh white shi+rt, black woolen suit, no accessories, yet very si boy
“Hah, no”My chest poundedI laughed dryly and continued to cook the stuff in the pan as if nothing had happenedMy face revealed a composed demeanor, but inside I wished I could do Munch’s scream
He actually saith a shower cap in the silly appearance of wearing a shoddy bathrobe!
I blindly cooked the last portion and forced a calether into a dishI tried to discreetly take offa carefree posture, I asked, “Why are you here?”
“Didn't I tell you that I’d be coazed ateyes“Yeah, it seems like…it’s…very aromaticWhat dish will you make next?”
“Shrimp and fish”
“How do you plan to make it?”
“…by cooking it thoroughly”
Ke Luo looked at o at it thenQuickOnce sauced, one steaht?”
Fro his posture as he clutched the pan, he appeared very experiencedKe Luo swiftly rinsed the pan clean and wiped it dryThen he took the bag of shri water, de-veined the shrimp, and drained them
He took two of the ht and cut them into thin slices
Next, he poured two spoonfuls of oil into the pan, added hot pepper and sarlic, and then the slices of mushroomHe quickly stir-fried the wine, going in one by one
His hands and feet were much swifter than mineI watched hi the pan was precise and orderlyAlthough he was quick, he carried it out in a poisedsound of the contents in the pan sounded pleasant to the ear
Beforethe shrimp, he had already smeared the store-processed turbot fish with table salt and cooking wine on both sides, sprinkled it with scallion, hot pepper flakes, and ginger, and placed it into the microwave
Not long after the cooked shried
It was a great successThe time used wasn't even half as much as the time I had used
“Your cooking skills are pretty good”
In fact, even if he blew up the kitchen, I would still praise him
Ke Luo smiled as he started to sprinkle soht ”
I gave out a cough
Well, I can cook, but only the kind that involves cooking it thoroughly, eating it the way someone who’s poor eats and just to fill the stomach of someone who’s lazyIt wasn't until later, when I had the financial capability and became particular about dishes and the taste that I refused to do it ainSo naturally my culinary skill can’t compare with that of Shu Nian’s
And I don’t need to make comparisons with him either
My dish looked a bit ugly, but the flavor was okayIt reached the standard of being edible and capable of filling the stomachKe Luo’s was much betterIt suited ith both the rice and wineIn two, three servings, I had eaten clean one side of the fishI then picked at the remains
“Here, there’s more on this side”Ke luo pulled out the middle fish boneHe tapped his chopsticks“Don’t be pickyYou have to eat the fish skin too”
I stiffly forced a laugh and watched him put the delicate meat of the fish’s belly and the heap of slippery fish skin together into my bowl, as if he wasof role displacement between us
After finishi+ng a suitable homemade meal early, before the sky was entirely dark, I somewhat didn't knohat to doIf ere lovers, we’d directly whisper sweet nothings to one another and then tumble between bed sheets
We were so aard, but I couldn't bear to let hio
Ke Luo sat beside o see a concert together?”
“Ah?”
“I have two tickets”He drew out neatly-folded tickets from his coat pocket“It starts at 7:30It’s not far froo?”
I looked up in surpriseMy gaze shi+fted froht met head onI felt somewhat shy
I didn't knohether this could be considered as asking me out, but I felt happyI couldn't control the expression on my face“Okay”I didn't knowpeople’s popular er, Xu YanI could only recall his good looksI had fantasized with his poster beforeThat was allI didn't entirely understand it
However what oing to see it with
After entering the venue, I realized why Ke Luo had asked inally thought we’d sit and enjoy the concertI had no idea everyone would be standing
As soon as the lighting effect caure appeared, the crowd seethed with excite
In this sort of atmosphere, it really was difficult to sit stillEveryone was standingIf my seat was any closer, I’d still only be able to see so
The concert seereat momentumXu Yan was, after all, a male beauty who exudes hormones all over with irresistible charis in high spirits as wellDiscardingNostrength couldn'tpeople in their teens and twentiesGradually, I couldn't stay standing any longer
Knowing that Ke Luo was standing and tilting ever so slightly behind me, I, to soainst his chestKe Luo didn't htened his body and supported me
In a flash, the figure on stage that had the look of the number one handsome idol was thrown to the winds by me
The vivid stage lights bea venue, and I was only aware of the youngme from behindIt was a soth contained in his chest, which has yet to show itself, and the rhythm of his heartbeatThis really was the best concert I had ever seen
After the concert, I staggered along with my head in the cloudsKe Luo, who hadwith everyone before the end of the concert, was so adorableI didn't see hi full of vitality, letting hie of a young man like him
I didn't want us to split up and go home just like that, so I plotted to secretly slip my wallet or cell phone with himOnce he realizes, he’ll naturally take me homeIn that case…
Before I could pull my hand out of his coat pocket, he sensed it so that sneaky hand of mine“What’s the matter?”
“…”No matter how fast my mind turned, I couldn't think of any rubbish“Heh, I thought it was my pocket…”
Ke Luo chuckled“I don’t really have anything for you to steal”Then a hand squeezed in and wrapped around that fist ofthe cell phone in an unsuccessful atteht?”
The palht noas thoroughly warm inside
Keeping my hand in his coat pocket, alked on for soetherI really had the urge to push hi the contours of his rather tall, refine profile and the slight tre eyelashes, for some reason I felt a lack of confidence and short of breath
“It’s still earlyIf you don’t have anything else, come to my place and sit with uncle”
I knehy I lacked confidenceIt’s because I was like an unhealthy pedophile
“Yeah, okay”He thought for moment“The water heater at my place broke todayI don’t know if it’s fixed yetLet me borrow the shower at your place later”
I suddenly felt like a donkeyHe’s just like a visible carrot that I can’t eat, dangling beforeso ht blurred
Before Ke Luo went into the bathroo them wetAfter he stripped off his shi+rt, I saw, from behind his bare upper body, the smooth, powerful lines of his backIt was hard to restrain the beast insideI couldn't help but stareKe Luo turned around and saw htly blushed, but still took off his pantsHe roughly wrapped the bath towel around his waist, obstructing my view
So conteenerousIn life, doesn't everyone have to experience having their bare ass seen by their elders?”He actually wrinkled his nose at me“The last person who lusted afterin the hospital to this day “
Hard- anythingIt’s not like I've never seen it before”
He turned into the bathrooh I knew from the bottom of my heart that I shouldn't be so short of resistance, I was still mysteriously propelled to follow him inKe Luo held the shower nozzle to adjust the water te behind hied to what seemed like a smile, yet not a smile“Uncle Lee…”
“Don’t getfor the toilet”
With the shower nozzle in one hand, Ke Luo watchedthe toilet, granted that you’re embarrassed to take off your pants, whatever the outcome, you should still lift the toilet lid first”
“…actually…I don’t want to go all of a sudden”
“Huh?”Ke Luo s for my next words
We both clearly knew very hat I was thinking and what I wantedBut I couldn't now say out loud so like “help me resolvedefeats in every battle”I didn't have et about openly begging hi hi myself too low?
Pride and lust were fiercely struggling with each other, and in just a few seconds, I held back rather insufferably while Ke Luo re for h at me, my blood suddenly started to boil
“It’s nothingGo wash upI’”
Don’t wish to, then don’tWhat’s so funny about leavingKe Luo called out from behind, “Uncle Lee”
I kneas sorry and wanted to make it up, but the chest had been jabbed in one breathI slammed the bathroom door shutI don’t need hi each otherI suffered in pain on his behalf each time I saw him so charitableIt’s not like I’d die if I don’t do it with hi so futile?
“Lee”Ke Luo opened the door and poked his head out from the bathroomHe looked at me“Did I make you mad?”
“No”I gave a cough“Hurry up and shower”
“Well, um…”Ke Luo kept his head tilted“Don’t you want to shoith me?”
“…”
Is it so fun to teaseravated“Wash, my ass”
Yet Ke Luo gave out a chuckleHe walked up to me and squatted down
“You…”His hands held e”
I thought ’s liver“Go awayKid’s spouting nonsense”
I wasn't being difficultHe wasn't understanding me at all
