Chapter 46: Talking Differently

Xia Chenxi came out of the kitchen, put the food on the table and sat down. He immediately felt that there was something wrong with the look in Ye Xuan's eyes.

His heart tightened, and he asked Ye Xuan as if nothing had happened: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ye Xuan shook his head, walked to the dining table and started eating.

"I'm so hungry that I'm about to bury my face in the food."

Xia Chenxi saw that Ye Xuan ate very quickly, devouring the food in no time.

"Yes, I'm very hungry."

Ye Xuan said nothing more and just kept stuffing rice into his mouth.

In fact, he didn't know how to ask Xia Chenxi.

Should he ask Xia Chenxi directly if she likes men?

That's too presumptuous.

Ye Xuan covered his face with the bowl and glanced at Xia Chenxi secretly from time to time.

Xia Chenxi naturally discovered it.

He couldn't stand it anymore, so he put down the bowl and looked at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan immediately buried his face in the bowl again.

Xia Chenxi simply stood up, took Ye Xuan's bowl and put it on the table.

Without the obstruction of the bowl, Ye Xuan faced Xia Chenxi directly and felt as if he was being seen through.

"Hungry?"

Ye Xuan nodded.

"I spent so much time eating and only got some skin injuries. This is called being very hungry."

Ye Xuan turned his head away in embarrassment.

"Just ask whatever you want to ask. I told you that your thoughts are like a child's, and they are always written on your face."

Under Xia Chenxi's gaze, Ye Xuan slowly spoke: "Xia Chenxi, do you like men?"

?

Xia Chenxi's face changed and his whole body tensed up. Was he discovered by Ye Xuan? Was he so obvious?

He was hiding behind the door just now, how did Ye Xuan find him?

Seeing Xia Chenxi's unusual reaction, Ye Xuan confirmed his thoughts.

He continued to ask: "Is it someone from the base?"

?

Xia Chenxi felt relieved a little. It turned out that Ye Xuan thought he liked those rough guys in the base.

"What makes you think that?"

In Ye Xuan's eyes, the disguised rhetorical question was an admission.

"Guess."

Xia Chenxi laughed mockingly, "Your brain suddenly brightened up."

Ye Xuan hesitated for a long time and said loudly: "Xia Chenxi, the buttocks are for shitting, you must not do the bottom one."

Xia Chenxi: “?”

"???"

Ye Xuan didn't dare to look at Xia Chenxi's expression at all. He felt that Xia Chenxi would be very angry, very angry.

Xia Chenxi wouldn't think he was a pervert, caring about his butt.

He means well.

"Oh."

A cold laugh reached Ye Xuan's ears. Ye Xuan raised his head carefully and saw Xia Chenxi looking at him with a half-smile.

"Thank you for your concern, but you seem to have misunderstood me. I don't know how you came to the conclusion that I like men, especially men from the base."

Um?

no?

He guessed wrong.

Ye Xuan didn't even dare to look directly at Xia Chenxi.

A dark green knife sheath was handed to Ye Xuan.

"A gift for your first mission. I'll give you a short blade."

"Thank you, thank you." Ye Xuan took it. The sheath was made of leather and felt very comfortable. It must have cost a lot of virtual funds.

"Thank you for your gift, I like it very much."

Xia Chenxi put on the gloves, which fit his hands perfectly. He shook hands and discovered the clever design at the joints.

“That’s thoughtful.”

Ye Xuan shook his head and indicated that you're welcome.

Then he raised his head again and told Xia Chenxi: "The salesperson said that the gloves have a soft metal interlayer. It sounds powerful and can withstand fatal attacks. You are a power-type mutant, and I think it suits you well."

"Well, it suits me."

Xia Chenxi took off his gloves and put them in his pocket, but he would not use them. He wanted to keep them as a treasure.

The burning gaze in front of him fell on him. Xia Chenxi raised his eyelids and saw Ye Xuan staring at him stupidly.

Those eyes were particularly attractive, charming without knowing it, and revealing a silly innocence.

Xia Chenxi blurted out: "Ye Xuan, do you like men?"

Ye Xuan subconsciously retorted: "No, I don't like it."

It was an expected answer, and Xia Chenxi didn't have any special reaction. If you looked closely, you could see that his face was a little cold.

Ye Xuan was shocked by himself. Why did he answer so directly?

"Um, I mean, I'm straight."

It seems to mean something similar.

"Got it." Xia Chenxi controlled his emotions, "You go and rest, I'll clean up."

"Let me help you."

"No, go and rest."

A tone that brooks no argument.

Ye Xuan stood up from the chair, "Okay, then I'll go to rest first. Good night, I wish you a good dream."

Xia Chenxi watched Ye Xuan enter the room, and the expression on his face turned completely cold.

There is nothing more terrifying in this world than hearing that the person you like is straight.

If there is, it must be the news of Ye Xuan's marriage.

He was afraid of breaking that layer of paper, and he was also afraid that he and Ye Xuan would always be brothers.

Many times he spat on himself and cursed himself.

He is just a coward.

Xia Chenxi brought the gloves into the room, carefully covered them with a protective cover, and placed them deep in the drawer.

After Ye Xuan returned to the room, he threw himself on the bed. He looked at the scabbard again and again.

He gave Xia Chenxi a gift today hoping that Xia Chenxi would be happy.

Somehow he messed it up.

Xia Chenxi took such good care of him that he didn't even have to wash the dishes after he finished his mission.

He speculated about Xia Chenxi's orientation today because of a bouquet of flowers and Xia Chenxi's late return.

Obviously, part of the reason why Xia Chenxi came home late was to pick out a gift for him.

While he was thinking about giving Xia Chenxi a surprise, Xia Chenxi also wanted to give him a surprise.

That's how he screwed it.

Ye Xuan, you are simply not a human being.

The more Ye Xuan thought about it, the more regretful he felt. He shouldn't have asked that question.

What if Xia Chenxi is a straight man like him and is just very nice to his brothers?

Ye Xuan, you are such a inhuman.

He cursed himself again in his mind.

The next day, when Xia Chenxi went out, he saw Ye Xuan sitting on the sofa and asked him with a smile whether he slept well last night.

"good."

Ye Xuan smiled strangely, with an ulterior motive in his eyes. Xia Chenxi had no idea what he was planning and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

When the breakfast was served, Ye Xuan took a bite and praised exaggeratedly: "Xia Chenxi, it's delicious. How did you make your sandwich?"

What an exaggerated expression.

Xia Chenxi said: "Bread, poached eggs, salad dressing, and sausage."

The air seemed frozen.

Ye Xuan laughed twice and praised: "It must be because you have good cooking skills. I think your cooking is especially delicious, better than anything I've eaten before."

Xia Chenxi had no idea what Ye Xuan was doing and finished his breakfast in silence.

After eating, the two prepared to go out. Xia Chenxi picked up the bunch of lilies and planned to take it out with him.

"I'll do it, I'll do it."

Ye Xuan diligently snatched the bouquet of flowers from Xia Chenxi's arms and held it in his own arms.

"My hands are empty, let me help you."

Xia Chenxi glanced at him and changed his shoes without saying a word.

On the way to the training ground, many people saw Ye Xuan holding such a big bouquet of flowers, and they cast their eyes on him.

If it were in the past, Ye Xuan would definitely feel embarrassed.

But today, he left with an especially calm demeanor.
