Chapter 64 - Fluff (1/2)

A/N” Shrek Arc is almost over! Thank God! There was so little canon content to exploit in this arc that it was pretty painful to write. Luckily, StarLuo has far more content to use.

When Huang Yu returned to his dorm that night, Gu Yue was already in her pajamas as she read a book on her bed. He had already taken a shower and changed his clothes back at Nox's headquarters so he didn't look as if he had just battled a lightning tribulation.

”Hey,” Huang Yu greeted as he entered the room.

Gu Yue looked up when she heard Huang Yu. ”Welcome back,” Gu Yue greeted before she kept the book that was in her hands.

”Have you eaten today?” Gu Yue's voice suddenly sounded out as Huang Yu was about to jump on his bed. Raising an eyebrow, Huang Yu turned to her direction to see an incredibly shy look on her face.

”Not yet.” Huang Yu replied back, pretending to be oblivious to what Gu Yue was currently doing. In truth, he had already eaten a bit back at Nox, but he didn't want to refuse Gu Yue at this moment.

A look of joy appeared on Gu Yue's face before it quickly turned shy once more. ”In that case, why don't we eat together? I bought a bit too much food just now back to the dorm to eat.”

”Really? Thanks Gu Yue, I don't know what I'd do without you.”

Hearing those words, Gu Yue's face turned crimson. However, she didn't lose her cool. ”It's nothing. It was just a coincidence that I brought back a bit too much.”

The both of them moved towards the sole table in the dorm room before each taking a chair of their own and sitting down next to each other. The table wasn't that big, so the two of them had to sit quite closely.

With a gesture of her hands, Gu Yue took out several plates of food from her spatial ring. Each one of them were exquisite delicacies that would serve to enhance the blood essence of an individual tremendously.

Seeing this, Huang Yu nearly sweatdropped. Gu Yue wasn't trying to be discreet about her motives at all, not that he was complaining of course.

The two of them chatted cheerfully for a bit as they ate. At one point, Gu Yue mustered up enough courage to do something that she had read about in a book.

”Huang Yu,” Gu Yue called out in a delicate voice.

”Yes?”

Gu Yue took a deep breath as she picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks before putting it in Huang Yu's plate. ”Here, have some. You haven't tried it yet.”

A mischievous smirk appeared on Huang Yu's face when he saw this. ”Can you feed me?” Huang Yu teased.

”What?!?” Gu Yue exclaimed, accidentally letting her voice out a bit louder than she had intended it to.

Huang Yu chuckled. ”I just heard that food tastes better when it's fed by someone else.”

Several expressions appeared on Gu Yue's face in an instant, from shock, to embarrassment, then to… rather strangely, determination.

”Okay then. I'll do it. However, you have to do the same for me after this then, alright?” Gu Yue dared back.

”Sure.”

Gu Yue didn't hesitate as she lifted up a spoonful of food from Huang Yu's plate before slowly bringing it to his open mouth.

As he closed it, he let out a sound of satisfaction, chewing a few times and savouring the taste of the food before he swallowed.

”So was it true?” Gu Yue asked.

”Why don't you try it for yourself?” Huang Yu asked back as he picked up a spoonful of food from Gu Yue's plate and brought it to her mouth.

She took a look at the spoon before she opened her mouth. When the spoon filled with food entered her mouth, she felt a tinge of sweetness in her heart despite the food being salty.

”So do you have your answer now?”

”Mm.” Gu Yue said rather cheerfully.

With that, Gu Yue's mood visibly brightened as the two of them continued to eat. When Huang Yu finished eating first, he turned to look at her. Doing so, Huang Yu couldn't help but stare as she ate slowly yet enchantingly in his eyes.

As Gu Yue finished with her meal as well, she noticed Huang Yu's stare. She couldn't help but feel embarrassment at his stare despite feeling happiness as well. However, a sense of insecurity suddenly appeared as it swiftly started ruining her mood.

”Why are you staring? I'm not that pretty.” Gu Yue mumbled out inadvertently.
