Ch10 - 123 Blockhead Person.

Editor: Waterlily- Overlord Shay

Xue Yingshuang rarely expects Xing Yun to come home early. So as soon as Xing Yun stepped into the house, he looked at Xing Yun while waiting patiently. 

Xing Yun: “……”

Xue Yingshuang: “How was it?”

Xing Yun’s face was expressionless: “What do you think? What else could I do?”

Xing Yun untied his tie and walked to the master bedroom, Xue Yingshuang followed him all the way. Xing Yun threw the briefcase away from him, as Xue Yingshuang asked, “Did you like it?” 

Xing Yun crumpled his tie and threw it too. He turned around and glared at Xue Yingshuang: “How dare you ask that! I opened it in Lu Yan’s office, you’re lucky we didn’t die of fright!”

Xue Yingshuang was taken aback: “Why are you eating hot pot in someone else’s office!”

Xing Yun: “How would I have known you prepared hotpot!”

Xue Yingshuang thought to himself, I didn’t know you were such a show-off!

He originally thought that with Xing Yun’s reclusive nature, he would at most take a photo and show it off in front of Lu Yan. He did not expect Xing Yun to carry the hotpot to someone else’s office and cook it!

You want to save face?

“Next time you ask me first.”

“How can I ask? You didn’t bring it up to the office yourself! You left it and run away.” 

“Hey, how can I take it up?” Xue Yingshuang said, “I’m not the kind of person to deliver your meals, and it’s not good to be misunderstood by others. If others think that I am your object, it will damage your image.”

Xing Yun became quiet for a moment.

Xue Yingshuang leaned forward cautiously and asked, “So how did it taste? Do you still like it?”

Xing Yun snorted a few times without comment, and then after a moment said: “Is there anything left?” 

Xue Yingshuang: “I knew you would definitely want to eat it tonight! Of course there is!”

So Xing Yun started the second hotpot of the day.

After all, Xing Yun was still worried about his image when he ate in front of Lu Yan. He didn’t care about any of that when in front of Xue Yingshuang, so he just opened it up and ate it. It was less refined than at noon.

After Xue Yingshuang went home at noon, he accidentally became addicted to studying and forgot his lunch. He would be hungry and muddleheaded, and hurriedly joined the ranks of eating and drinking gluttonously. 

“How do you make this smooth shrimp? Lu Yan said it was delicious.”

“It’s not difficult, it just takes time. I also made smooth cuttlefish, you can try it. Is it delicious?”

“Delicious.”

“Got youtiao, want some?” 

“Oh, he doesn’t eat such greasy things.”

“Are you going to eat it or not?”

“Eat more.”

“Did you make the hotpot base yourself?” 

“How can I have time to do it, I bought it.”

“This one is good, I’ll buy it next time.”

He folded cardboard boxes, strung light bulbs, and glued the kind of musical greeting cards that would sing as soon as they were opened.

He felt that it was meaningless to just do it without learning, so when he returned the finished product to the factory, he would pester people to ask what those things were all about, and one after another, he learned.

Therefore, it was too simple for him to make this gadget, just as long as Xing Yun is happy. 

“By the way, is this a meal that is distinctive, highlights personal style, and takes into account flavor?” Xue Yingshuang asked as he looked at Xing Yun. There was no expression on Xue Yingshaung’s face, but there was light in his eyes.

“Barely qualified.” Xing Yun added another sentence, “Anyway, no one else has it, only I have.”

Hearing this answer, Xue Yingshuang’s eyes were even more radiant, and he was obviously happy.

Xing Yun looked at those eyes, wondering why he remembered what Lu Yan had said. 

Knowing that it was Lu Yan who misunderstood, but after hearing those words, who wouldn’t care?

If you want to blame someone, you can blame Xue Yingshuang for always pleasing him.

Speaking of which, why is Xue Yingshuang so nice to him? Could it be… just as was thinking about it, Xue Yingshuang put the freshly cooked meat into his bowl.

Even the freshly cooked meat must be given to him first… Xing Yun remembered the joy that Xue Yingshuang couldn’t hide when he said that he wanted to help him bring meals that day. 

Everyone else helps their lover by bringing meals, he is just a little stand-in, but he takes the initiative to help bring his meals.

Could it be……

At his end, Xue Yingshuang didn’t know what Xing Yun was thinking at all, he was full of only fat cows.

There are not many fat cows left, and he is trying to implement the strategy of  “one piece for you, one piece for me, one piece for me, one piece for you, one piece for me…”. 

He looked up and saw Xing Yun looking at him deeply. Feeling guilty, he hurriedly picked up a piece for Xing Yun: “Eat quickly, don’t you dislike eating cold food?”

Seeing him so attentive, Xing Yun had a deeper suspicion in his heart.

Why is Xue Yingshuang so nice to me?

This issue has become Xing Yun’s most concerning issue outside of work these days. He secretly observes Xue Yingshuang every day and wants to know what Xue Yingshuang thinks. 

Xue Yingshuang was not blind either. After a few days, he felt Xing Yun’s eyes, and every time he looked back, he could always find that Xing Yun was secretly watching him.

He wondered, thinking to himself that something was wrong with this tyrant again, could it be… he wanted to dismiss me again?

Thinking of this, Xue Yingshuang became nervous, and began to observe Xing Yun secretly, glancing at Xing Yun from time to time.

Xing Yun was even more sure now, and Xue Yingshuang looked at him secretly. 

The two peeked at each other, and the more they looked at each other, the more they felt that the other party had a problem, so they paid more attention to the other party, and at the same time they were more suspicious of the other party. The cycle was endless.

In the evening of the non-working day, Xue Yingshuang knocked on the door of the study and said to Xing Yun, “Are you free? I want to ask you to drive me to buy groceries, there are more things to buy this time.”

Xing Yun just finished work. Although he was nagging, “Whether I invite you or you invite me to go”, he immediately packed up his things and drove Xue Yingshuang out.

Xue Yingshuang didn’t go to the high-end imported supermarket that the two had been to, but to an ordinary supermarket a little further away. 

The decoration of the supermarket is simple and outdated, and it is no match for imported supermarkets. Xing Yun said in disdain: “What are you doing here?”

Xue Yingshuang: “Today is a special offer, it’s cheaper.”

Xing Yun: “I didn’t restrict you from grocery money. You don’t have to care if it’s a special price or not. It seems as if I’m abusing  you. Don’t be such a poor man!”

Xue Yingshuang casually said  “Hey, there is no way, I will live if I don’t save money. Isn’t there a sentence that says, what kind of thing, even if you cover your mouth…” 

What Xue Yingshuang wanted to say was “Poverty is something that will come out of your eyes even if you cover your mouth.” But he was afraid that Xing Yun would turn his face again later. Halfway through the conversation, he stopped, blinked at Xing Yun, and said obediently: “Let’s go, boss.”

In the end, Xing Yun accompanied Xue Yingshuang in and helped Xue Yingshuang push the cart.

Xue Yingshuang picked and chose items in front. Xing Yun pushed the cart with one hand and browsed the phone with the other, occasionally instructing Xue Yingshuang to get this and that.

Seeing Xue Yingshuang’s careful price comparison, Xing Yun thought to himself that this little stand-in was getting more and more feral. Xue Yingshuang had been together with him for a long time and his nature was revealed. If it weren’t for his magnanimity, he wouldn’t allow Xue Yingshuang to be so presumptuous. 

Thinking of this, Xing Yun remembered that Xue Yingshuang had just said something, but he didn’t say it completely. It was okay if he didn’t check it but he still checked it casually. When he checked it, he suddenly felt shocked all over.

The vague sentence Xue Yingshuang said turned out to be “If you like this thing, even if you cover your mouth, it will come out of your eyes.”

Like?

Was he trying to hint at me by saying that vaguely? 

Xing Yun stared at the phone screen, too shocked to move.

Xue Yingshuang actually likes me!

That Xue Yingshuang!

That little stand-in! 

Xing Yun did not dare to believe it, but once he thought about it, the previous doubts all figured themselves out at once! Xue Yingshuang would treat him so well because he liked him!

He likes him, so they have to travel thousands of miles to buy food, just to save his money!

“Come on, what are you doing standing there?” Xue Yingshuang, who was carrying a bottle of milk, beckoned to Xing Yun, “You like to drink milk. Let’s buy two bottles this time. If we only buy one bottle, it’ll be gone.”

He knows that I like to drink milk! He really likes me! 

“What’s good for dinner? Have I ever made you curry?” Xue Yingshuang is picking potatoes, “Let’s have beef curry today.”

He’s going to make me curry! He really likes me!

After checkout, they drive home.

While waiting at a red light, Xing Yun was still thinking, Xue Yingshuang likes me? How dare he? 

Suddenly Xing Yun was shaken by Xue Yingshuang. When he came back to his senses, he saw Xue Yingshuang’s nervous face: “The light turned green, drive quickly! The horn in the back is about to be disabled! If you don’t drive quickly, they will get out of the car and beat you!”

He actually worried about me being beaten, he really likes me……

Xue Yingshuang felt that Xing Yun’s problems seemed to be more serious today. The tyrant had been looking at him with deep eyes when he was eating, and he could see that something was wrong with him.

“Eat more.”Xue Yingshuang didn’t want to leave the leftovers, so he poured all the remaining curry and rice into Xing Yun’s bowl. Just after he finished, he saw that Xing Yun’s eyes were deeper. 

Xue Yingshuang: ?

Xing Yun: Oh, little stand-in, do you like to be so open……

After eating, Xue Yingshuang looked at Xing Yun and pointed to the corner of his mouth.

Xing Yun looked at him deeply. 

Xue Yingshuang pointed again, and seeing that he didn’t respond, he simply leaned over and wiped the corners of Xing Yun’s mouth: “Wipe it, not wiping is like stealing shit and not wiping your mouth.”

Xing Yun: Oh, why bother beating around the bush like this if you want to touch me……

After dinner, Xue Yingshuang cut the watermelon and brought it back to the living room to eat the watermelon to watch the dog show with Xing Yun.

After the dog show was over, a dog blood drama was broadcast on TV. 

Xing Yun pretended to watch TV, but his real purpose was to observe Xue Yingshuang.

Sure enough, as he expected, Xue Yingshuang was always secretly watching him. As soon as he locked eyes, Xue Yingshuang would turn his gaze aside and pretend to tidy up the table.

Oh, this guilty look……

On the other hand, Xue Yingshuang was really guilty. 

After watching the dog show, he still relies on watching TV series. It’s so good to watch TV with a salary, but it’s also too exciting!

He couldn’t help it, so as soon as he found out that Xing Yun was watching him, he pretended to be trying to tidy up the table and pretended that he was not watching TV.

The weekend passed, and it was work day again.

That morning, as soon as Xing Yun’s car left the community, he found that something had fallen in the study. He thought the distance was not too far, so he simply went home to get it himself. 

Usually he goes out at eight o’clock, and he doesn’t know what Xue Yingshuang is doing between eight and nine o’clock.

He opened the door and did not see Xue Yingshuang welcome him.After wandering around the house, he heard a sound from the master bedroom. He quietly approached the master bedroom door, which was left open, and could see Xue Yingshuang folding his clothes inside. At the same time, a song was playing.

“I count 123, blockhead person, if you don’t act, your points will be deducted. I have been waiting for love to happen in a spectacular way…”

In the morning, Xue Yingshuang was still dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, looking tender and refined. In Xing Yun’s absence, he had a smile on his face while singing softly to the music. He folded Xing Yun’s clothes neatly and carefully put them away. 

“The pace is too fast, you are walking ahead, I am behind you, and I can’t open my mouth. How I hope you’ll take my hand at the next intersection…”

Outside the door, Xing Yun looked at Xue Yingshuang’s smile, and for some reason he couldn’t move away.

“I count 123, blockhead person, give me an instant heart-moving look that I look forward to, because with you make love more complete…”

Xing Yun’s face flushed, his eyes drooped greatly and looked away. He didn’t dare to look at Xue Yingshuang again. 

He was a little hot for some reason, so he could only leave the master bedroom quietly and left for work in a hurry, forgetting to take even the things he had left behind.

Xing Yun sat in the car and scratched his head in annoyance, and finally lay on the steering wheel.

This little stand-in, likes me so much? What kind of sweet love songs are you listening to?

Could it be that he not only has a crush on me, but also wants me to like him too? 

He wants my heart?

In the master bedroom, the song on the phone finished playing, and the content of the external playback changed. The male voice full of orthography said: “Hello. International Friends Club. Can I help you”

Xue Yingshuang stood upright and pricked up his ears to listen.

“Oh, Hello. I read about your club……” 

Xue Yingshuang downloaded a college entrance examination English listening material on the Internet. He usually listens while doing housework to hone his tattered English listening skills.

Those materials have collected English listening papers from all over the world in the past ten years and they are very easy to use. The only drawback is that the upload master accidentally mixed a few songs in when uploading. Every time he listens to a few volumes, a song will suddenly appear.……

Xue Yingshuang didn’t learn English properly, but the first song is catchy.
