Chapter 24: I Know! He Is a Parrot! (2)

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Since he parents died, no one had ever cared about him like this.

His folks were good to him but not in such a thoughtful way. They thought it’d be enough as long as he had clothes to wear and food to eat, while his agent in his precious life thought he was almighty. He wouldn’t notice the subtle changes of his feelings.

Huo Qu was the very first one who put his feelings in his heart and cared about him clumsily.

Suddenly a kind of sour and sweet feeling filled his chest, like a seed with a little thorn taking root in the soil deep in his heart.

Yu Qinghuan asked him chokingly, “So you came all the way here…only for this trivial matter?”

“This ain’t trivial matter!” Huo Qu talked him back for the very first time, “Qinghuan’s matters are all the most important!”

Speaking of which, he looked up at Yu Qinghuan with all expectations in his eyes, “So…are you feeling better now?”

“I am very happy now!” Yu Qinghuan took a deep breath and looked at Huo Qu smilingly, “I am happy because you are here.”

“Really?” Huo Qu immediately jumped up on hearing him, “Are you serious, Qinghuan? But…but I don’t know how to comfort people…”

He made a pause and tried to explain, “I…I’m not a fool. I got myself tested. My IQ is 170-180. I’m not a fool, really. I’m just…I’m…”

He looked anxious with his face turning all red, but he still couldn’t find a suitable word to describe it, while Yu Qinghuan cut in, “I know. I know you are very good at comforting people. I’m not upset at all now.”

“That’s…that’s great.” Huo Qu puckered up his lips shyly and smiled showing a little dimple on his left face.

“Are you hungry? Have you had lunch?”

Huo Qu touched his belly and said, “Not yet.”

“Then I’ll cook some ramen for you.”

Since having known that Yu Qinghuan could cook, Zhao Qingyuan had stuffed the fridge with a bunch of fast food. Yu Qinghuan routed out a few packs of Japanese ramen among that huge pile. After turning on the induction cooker, he then started to cook ramen while chatting with Huo Qu.

It was kind of weird. Even Huo Qu’s families couldn’t find a way to pick up a conversation with Huo Qu. First, Huo Qu didn’t like talking. Second, they always had no idea what Huo Qu was talking about while Huo Qu didn’t understand them either.

But Yu Qinghuan was different. He could always accurately extract what he was trying to express from Huo Qu’s words.

“That is to say, you are going abroad for an academic conference in a few days?” asked Yu Qinghuan while opening the lid and putting the ramen in the pot.

“Mm.” Huo Qu nodded and then added, “I have to go.”

Yu Qinghuan knew why he added those words. So he smiled at him while squeezing the seasoning bag, “It’s OK. I will call you then.”

Speaking of which, he saw Huo Qu take out a booklet and quickly write a string of characters.”
