While eating the noodles, I followed the principle of "the louder you slurp, the more respect you show to the cook". I slurp - slurp the noodles noisily, and after finishing, I let out a loud belch. "Damn it, it's so delicious."
Cheng Yu looked at me with a somewhat cruel look in his eyes. "Have you never had chicken noodle soup before?"
Me: "Cheng Yu, I'm not afraid to tell you. I really haven't had such delicious chicken noodle soup! You know my parents divorced early. My dad can't cook. My blind - eyed brother raised me up... Oh no, brought me up. The rice he cooked was always half - cooked, and the noodles he made were always mushy. When I was a kid, I was naive. As I grew up, I hated my parents so much. Since they didn't plan to be together till the end, why did they give birth to me and my brother? They were so irresponsible!"
After hearing this, Cheng Yu just said lightly, "Who gets married without the intention of being together for a lifetime? It's just that someone wants to get off the train halfway, and the other can't stop them."
Damn it.
What a golden line.
I asked carefully, "You seem to have such deep feelings. Did your parents divorce too?"
Cheng Yu: "They are deeply in love with each other. Thank you."
Me: "Sorry, sorry!"
Since his feelings didn't come from his parents' situation, then it must be from his own complicated and tortuous love experiences.
Don't touch on a sister's sad story!
I quickly rambled on to change the topic. "Actually, before I went to college, I never included dating and marriage in my future plans. It was not until I graduated from college that my friends around me all had boyfriends one by one, and then I started to get anxious. It wasn't that I really fell in love with any boy. I just wanted to get out of being single and didn't want to be alone. That feeling was like when everyone was about to hand in their test papers, but I hadn't even got mine yet. I was blindly anxious."
Cheng Yu: "Most people are like this."
I nodded. "It's just the herd mentality. If she bought rain boots, I wanted to have them too. Otherwise, when it rained while crossing the river, others had tools, but I would get wet. Actually, getting wet wouldn't hurt me, but it would be so embarrassing if everyone else was dry and I was like a drowned rat. On Valentine's Day or Qixi Festival, only those with boyfriends could celebrate. If not, it would be a bit awkward. Many people date not for love but for having a boyfriend. But how many of them are really in love? Maybe they themselves don't know."
Cheng Yu: "Did you love your ex - boyfriend?"
Me: "… Dude, you've reached the depths of my soul."
Although I was reluctant to admit it, "There must have been some feelings. After all, it was my first relationship. I had a lot of fantasies about him. But I always felt that there was something missing. So I always held back. I'm very calm and heartless when I'm in a relationship. He tried to kiss me several times, but I refused. My dad said that I could start dating at 28 and could kiss after three months of dating. I used that as an excuse to turn him down. Hehe, unfortunately, he didn't even last for three months..."
Cheng Yu: "So your first kiss is still there?"
Me: "Isn't it embarrassing? Don't laugh at me. I'm really a failure in matters of love..."
Cheng Yu didn't laugh at me. He just said, "The meaning of dating doesn't lie in success or failure. It's about what you gain and grow in this relationship, adding a touch of color to your life. Even a broken - hearted experience is meaningful. Aren't you much stronger and more mature than before?"
I was about to cry. I hugged Cheng Yu's arm tightly. "You're so right!"
Cheng Yu: "Go wash the strawberries."
Me: "Okay!"
-
We ate strawberries while I was revising my manuscript.
Cheng Yu took a look. "Are you writing a novel?"
I pretended to be modest and very cunningly showed him my data. "Oh, it's just a little hobby."
Cheng Yu: "Are you the author of In the Abyss?"
I cleared my throat. "It's me!"
Cheng Yu raised his eyebrows and rarely complimented me. "Not bad."
Me: "Hehe."
Cheng Yu: "I thought the author was a man."
Me: "…"
Cheng Yu asked curiously, "How did your stupid - looking brain come up with such a terrifying and perverted story?"
Me: "… What do you mean by perverted? The escape rules I set are all about testing human nature! It's such a profound novel!"
Cheng Yu said something astonishing. "You have to pick out the hand tendons little by little with a nail clipper to get the key to escape. You call this testing human nature?"
I widened my eyes. "Wow, Cheng Yu, you've read my book!"
Cheng Yu fell silent.
He pretended to be busy cleaning the table.
I picked up a pen and chased after him. "Come on, little fan. Let the great author sign for you!"
Cheng Yu: "I've just read a few chapters. Who's your fan?"
Still being stubborn?
The part about picking out the hand tendons was in the 380 - plus chapter. You've read this far and still don't admit you're my fan!
I deliberately said, "Forget it. I'm tired today. I won't update the novel."
Cheng Yu: "When did you ever update? You haven't updated for a month."
Hehe.
Caught you.
You slipped up again.
You're really my little fan, Cheng Yu!
-
Cheng Yu probably felt embarrassed after I exposed his thoughts. After cleaning up the kitchen, he said he was going home. I quickly held him back. "Don't go. It's been a long time since you had a massage. Aren't you feeling uncomfortable? Let me give you a massage. It's free!"
Cheng Yu: "No need."
I dragged him towards the bed. "Don't go. Come on, come on. Sir, I'll surely satisfy you!"
Cheng Yu: "Get out of here!"
Finally, I managed to push him onto the bed.
I rolled up the sleeves of my pajamas, tied my hair into a little bun, and put on a cat - ear headband.
Cheng Yu said speechlessly, "How old are you? You still wear children's pajamas."
Me: "Girls all dress like this. Cartoon pajamas are so cute! And mine is really creative!"
To show him how creative my pajamas were, I turned my back to him and pulled the two strings under the collar. A pair of pink little wings on my back flapped left and right. They were made of fluffy coral fleece and were extremely cute.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be charmed, I stuck out my butt. There was a round rabbit tail on my white pajamas. I wiggled my butt and tempted him. "How about it? Isn't it cute? Do you have an urge to touch it?"
Cheng Yu twitched the corner of his mouth and turned his face away. "I have an urge to beat you up."
Me: "Humph. You're not a girl. You don't know how to appreciate it!"
So I worked hard to massage Sir Cheng.
He must have been "entertaining customers" too much recently. His back and neck were so stiff. I advised him, "It's so hard. Why not take on fewer jobs? The most important thing in life is to be happy..."
Cheng Yu: "Zhou Yinyin."
Me: "What now?"
Cheng Yu gritted his teeth. "What are you doing sitting on me?"
I looked down. In order to massage his waist conveniently, I didn't even notice when I climbed onto the bed from the floor and then moved to his thigh. Now, while massaging, I was almost sitting on his "perky butt".
Me: "Well... the bed is too wide. It's easier to massage like this. I've never massaged this part for you before."
Cheng Yu: "Get off."
Me: "But I haven't finished massaging yet."
Cheng Yu turned his head and stared at me, saying word by word, "I said, get off me!"
