Tang Yu had gone to many dog-blood novels to act as cannon fodder, originally thinking he could successfully retreat after completing his mission. Unexpectedly, his next task was to return to those...
How to say it... Tang Yu always felt that Shen Ting's smile had some other meaning.
But there is nothing wrong with what I said!
Last time, I lied about having a stomach ailment in order to get closer to Shen Ting as quickly as possible. But now, it’s not really necessary, right?
Moreover, according to Tang Yu's intuition, it would be best for him not to reveal any flaws.
Yes, we should be honest.
Tang Yu brought a lot of food, so even two people couldn't finish it.
While eating, he saw that Shen Ting seemed to want to say something to him, so Tang Yu quickly spoke to stop Shen Ting from saying anything.
"I told you, this is my apology to you this morning. Don't worry, eat as much as you can."
Tang Yu glanced at Chen Ting. Even his clothes couldn't hide his thinness. Tang Yu really felt distressed.
Especially after he knew about Shen Ting's family situation, this heartache was mixed with a bit of pity.
Fortunately, I still have one chance.
Chen Ting suddenly laughed, as if he found Tang Yu's eagerness to explain somewhat amusing. He supported his chin with both hands and said softly:
"I just wanted to say thank you, not necessarily to return the favor later."
In the past, I always felt awkward and uncomfortable when accepting Tang Yu's kindness to me. It seemed that the remaining self-esteem disappeared completely in front of Tang Yu, but -
I won’t do that now.
Is it because he was too afraid, because of his inferiority complex and couldn't help but refuse, that Tang Yu got bored so quickly?
Today, Chen Ting has become more calm and composed as he grows older. He is no longer the poor boy who felt helpless from time to time.
Although my current situation is not better than it was then.
After hearing what Chen Ting said, Tang Yu also smiled, and his eyebrows and eyes relaxed a lot.
He was just worried that Shen Ting would still reject him like before.
But fortunately, things did not turn out as he expected.
After letting go of his vague worries, Tang Yu became more natural when facing Shen Ting, and even asked him if the food was to his liking.
"It's delicious. I think you should like it too, right?"
Shen Ting's black hair slightly covered her forehead, but her crystal clear eyes seemed to be shining.
Tang Yu always felt that there was some other meaning in those words.
Because he remembered that when he went to Shen Ting's house for dinner, Shen Ting would secretly ask himself:
Is the food in the cafeteria delicious or is his cooking better?
In fact, to be fair, the chefs hired by the cafeteria have excellent cooking skills.
But the home-cooked meals made by Shen Ting seemed to suit his appetite better, because he could taste the effort Shen Ting put into them every time.
That's incomparable to the cafeteria.
So Tang Yu answered honestly: "It's okay, actually. I prefer home-cooked meals to this."
Chen Ting suddenly raised his head and looked at Tang Yu. His glass-like eyes seemed to be filled with shattered starlight. After a moment, he lowered his eyes and said in an ambiguous tone:
"I thought you liked the food here, but it turns out you prefer home-cooked meals. That's quite surprising."
"Nothing surprising, everyone has their own preferences." Tang Yu smiled gently, but did not elaborate on the reason.
After all...the person who cooked for him was right in front of him.
Just when the two of them were getting along quite well, a sinister voice suddenly sounded behind Tang Yu:
"You actually brought him to dinner?"
Tang Yu turned around slowly, and was not surprised at all when he saw that it was Bai Luo.
In fact, I'm used to it.
When I first returned to this world to complete a mission, I had just established a romantic relationship with someone, and Bai Luo often haunted me like this.
Even when it was time to work later, Bai Luo was still asking about his own arrangements.
Of course, he often ruined their dates.
At that time, he just thought that this childhood friend was too closely related to himself, and Bai Luo seemed to have only had him as a friend for so many years, so he didn't take it too seriously.
But... now, Tang Yu gradually sensed something strange.
This is not right, or at least it shouldn't be right.
So Tang Yu didn't indulge Bai Luo and said calmly: "Didn't I just say that? You don't believe it yourself."
"Besides, I accidentally bumped into someone. It's normal to treat them to a meal, right?"
"So, what else do you want?"
Tang Yu's words were always gentle, but when Bai Luo heard them, he felt a surge of anger in his heart for no reason.
When had Tang Yu ever treated himself like this?
It’s all because of this person!
Just because Bai Luo doesn't lose his temper with Tang Yu doesn't mean he won't lose his temper with others.
He said nothing, walked quickly to Shen Ting, and tried to pull Shen Ting up roughly.
Tang Yu frowned and stepped forward to grab Bai Luo's hand.
"How did I provoke you?"
Tang Yu took advantage of Bai Luo's distraction to protect Chen Ting behind him. Compared with Tang Yu's figure, Chen Ting actually looked even thinner.
At this time, he only slightly showed his head behind Tang Yu and glanced at Bai Luo lightly.
It seemed to say, "Don't waste your energy."
Bai Luo happened to see it, and he was stimulated even more.
He pointed at Shen Ting and said to Tang Yu anxiously, "Tang Yu, look! He did it on purpose. He was just pretending to be pitiful in front of you!"
Tang Yu's expression turned cold in an instant.
