Chapter 10 Special

"A-choo!"

Duan Ke had just put the burnt-smelling squid leg to his lips when a sudden sour taste came to his nose. He quickly turned his head away, covered his face and sneezed lightly.

Just as he turned his face away, the uncomfortable soreness and swelling came back. Duan Ke was caught off guard and turned his head away quickly in embarrassment: "A-choo!"

"What's wrong, Xiaoke? Do you have a cold?"

Li Zheng, who was holding oden next to him, looked worried and handed him a tissue. "Are you still not fully recovered? How about I go to the hospital with you?"

Duan Ke took the tissue and wiped his blunt nose until it turned red. The mist from the sneeze made his eyes wet, making him look very obedient.

"No, I'm fine now. Hmm... maybe someone is missing me?"

Li Zheng observed Duan Ke's face worriedly again, and only after confirming that he was not feeling unwell did he feel relieved and continued to move forward with Duan Ke.

Recently, she suddenly fainted frequently. Her usually pretty and rosy face turned pale and bloodless. She also suddenly asked to move out, which scared her roommates.

Li Zheng was even more concerned, and took Duan Ke to several hospitals during his spare time, saying that this kind of disease must not be delayed. Even though Duan Ke politely refused, he still insisted on helping.

Several doctors said they could not find the cause of the disease. Li Zheng was worried about what might happen. It was not until he saw Duan Ke at school after class that he found that he was full of energy again. He finally felt relieved and invited Duan Ke to the snack stand to buy something to eat.

Now they were half full, and Li Zheng insisted on seeing them off, so they walked together towards Duan Ke's apartment and took a walk to digest their food.

"You haven't been in the dormitory recently. Are you feeling uncomfortable? Are you used to living alone?"

Li Zheng took a bite of the meatball, looked down at Duan Ke, and said with a smile, "How about the rent is due this month, so why don't you move back home? You've been away for a while, and I... well, we're all a little uncomfortable with it. We miss you so much."

Duan Ke took a small bite of the grilled squid and stuck out his tongue because of the spiciness.

"No, I might have to live outside for a while. We can still keep in touch while I'm living outside."

Li Zheng widened his eyes, feeling surprised.

Duan Ke has lived in the same dormitory with them for two years and they have always gotten along well. Why did he suddenly decide to move out?

The school dormitory facilities are pretty good, right? It's impossible that I suddenly couldn't get used to it.

He looked down at his roommate who had a very good temper. He wanted to continue asking, but he saw Duan Kegang put the last bite of squid into his mouth and put it on one side of his cheek to chew.

He ate with great relish, but his eating manners were not sloppy. Instead, he looked very cute, like a golden hamster putting food into its mouth.

Even though she didn't do anything, she was inexplicably attractive and made people feel cute.

She wanted to be close to him, to have his gaze all to herself, as if she had some talent for seducing people.

Li Zheng looked at Duan Ke's furry golden-brown hair, and his hand hanging beside his leg moved slightly, but in the end he resisted the urge to put it on.

He nudged Duan Ke with his broad shoulder and asked tentatively with a smile, "If I come to bother you often in the future... our Xiao Ke, you won't mind, right?"

"How come?" Duan Ke blinked. "You can come anytime. I welcome you."

you.

Li Zheng's heart sank.

He suddenly remembered that when he first met Duan Ke, his first impression of him was not good. He felt that Duan Ke was like a spoiled little master who had never left the house and was spoiled by his family.

He can't even make the bed, use the water dispenser, or even use chopsticks skillfully. He doesn't act like an adult human being at all and has no common sense at all.

But after spending some time together, Li Zheng discovered that Duan Ke was just a little dull, but actually had a very soft personality.

Like a small mushroom, it grows quietly in a corner of its own dormitory. It never speaks actively, but will respond obediently to anyone who talks to it. When people buy snacks for it, it will quietly put some on each roommate's desk.

Like a little elf that is independent of humans, or the quietest and most well-behaved little lazy cat in school.

He will accept food from anyone who comes up to him, and will also stretch out his claws to let them pinch him, but when humans leave, it only takes a moment to forget about them. No one is special to him.

Noticing that Li Zheng had stopped eating and had been staring at him, Duan Ke turned around and asked simply, "What's wrong?"

Li Zheng came back to his senses and smiled: "Oh, no."

Duan Ke lacks common sense of emotions and has no idea what other people are thinking. He needs to be taught slowly.

Li Zheng was not in a hurry. After all, he had plenty of time to get along with Duan Ke and teach him what special meant.

After walking for a while, they arrived at Duan Ke’s house.

"Brother Li Zheng, just take me downstairs. You should go home quickly. It's getting dark."

"It won't take too long to send you up. Didn't our little brother just say he welcomes me?"

Duan Ke couldn't argue with him, so he could only let Li Zheng follow him up.

Duan Ke nearly tripped over the stacks of cardboard boxes as he emerged from the elevator. He looked around blankly, surprised, "Why are there so many cardboard boxes and foam wraps?"

"Someone's moving, right?" Li Zheng stepped out of the elevator and pushed the boxes aside to make way for him. "Strange, does this building change tenants so frequently? It seems like the one next door to you."

The one next door?

Duan Ke looked up and saw that the door of the house opposite his was half-open. The sound of moving things came from inside, which was obvious but not disturbing.

Inexplicably... there is a very fragrant smell.

Duan Ke's nose twitched, his eyes full of surprise.

It can’t be such a coincidence, right?

But his unbelievable suspicion was soon confirmed. Qin Huai walked out of the door, wearing a black home suit and a pair of thin silver-rimmed glasses, which diluted his sharp aura.

When Qin Huai saw Duan Ke, he raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Why are you back so late?"

Duan Ke ran up to him, looking at Qin Huai with bright eyes, and said in surprise, "Did you just happen to move in across from me? This is such a coincidence, isn't it?"

"What a coincidence." Qin Huai opened the door next to him a little, as if inviting someone in, and said lightly, "The company's position has been reassigned to a nearby location, and this room just happened to be vacant."

Duan Ke didn't show it on his face, but he was actually so excited that he almost ran three laps on the spot.

This apartment has a special layout. The windows of the two master bedrooms are opposite each other, and you can see the next door through the glass.

If Qin Huai moved here, wouldn't he be able to fall asleep smelling the most delicious food in the world even when he wasn't being fed?

Duan Ke didn't dare to imagine how soundly he could sleep.

This would also make feeding them every week much easier. The joy on Duan Ke's face was too obvious and undisguised, and he didn't notice the extremely gloomy gaze coming from behind him.

Li Zheng's face was frighteningly dark.

He stared at Duan Ke's back as he was about to hug him, then shifted his gaze to the neighbor who appeared inexplicably.

Why did Duan Ke look so familiar with him? Where did she come from?

Soon, the man in black noticed him and glanced over indifferently. Perhaps he had already noticed the person following Duan Ke, but his eyes were completely focused on the boy he was circling, not looking anywhere else.

Li Zheng felt the man's gaze and inexplicably felt a sense of oppression and difficulty breathing.

Though his face was expressionless, he could still feel the pressure of being stared at by a ferocious beast. It was cold and unfriendly, like he was claiming territory and marking a boundary.

The man's hand had vaguely wrapped around Duan Ke's waist at some point. Although he didn't touch her, the aura of complete control was obvious to outsiders.

Duan Ke was completely unaware of this and still looked completely trusting, whispering to the man like a kitten welcoming its owner home from get off work.

Li Zheng: ...

It turns out that someone is special, but it’s not me.

"Xiao Ke, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. I'll come to play with you next time."

Hearing this, Duan Ke suddenly remembered that there was a roommate following him, and secretly regretted that he had accidentally shown a lack of human common sense.

Li Zheng's words sounded so depressed. Was it because he was only paying attention to Qin Huai and ignored him?

Duan Ke turned around and followed him, saying goodbye to Li Zheng at the elevator entrance, feeling a little relieved. He returned to his home and saw Qin Huai leaning lazily against the door.

Duan Ke hadn't really felt it just now, but now he could smell it. Qin Huai's house not only had the fragrance of Qin Huai himself, but also a particularly fragrant smell of cooking.

"If you only eat snacks, you won't feel full, right?"

Duan Ke stared at Qin Huai in a daze, then heard the man invite him, "Would you like to have dinner with your new neighbor?"

Qin Huai was wearing a black home-style cotton short-sleeved shirt with a lower neckline than his usual uniform, revealing his well-defined collarbone and diluting the aura of abstinence and alienation.

The silver-rimmed glasses on his high nose bridge did not make him look out of place, but instead gave him a sense of gentleness and pampering.

Duan Ke watched and couldn't help but swallow a little saliva very subtly.

As a succubus, looking at humans like this... my food would taste much better.

Even though the food humans eat is not something a succubus must consume.

Duan Ke had always been the one to bewitch others, but for some reason, he suddenly felt dizzy. Before he could react, he heard himself reply, "Okay."
