Chapter 21 His eyes greedily moved around. Unconsciously, the two people...
As if coaxing a child, Xu Ze gently shook the candy between his fingertips.
Xiao Zhier stared at Xu Ze for a few seconds, glanced at him with his beautiful peach blossom eyes, then lowered his head slightly and opened his mouth as if condescending. He gently rolled the candy into his mouth with his tender tongue.
Xu Ze looked at Xiao Zhier and smiled contentedly, his voice sounding like it was soaked in honey: "Thank you, Teacher Xiao."
Xiao Zhier had a candy in his mouth, and a small bump appeared on his cheek, like a hamster with its cheeks filled with food, which made Xu Ze unable to help but poke it.
He thought so and did so.
The young man's warm fingertips lightly fell on the side of his face, and a little pressure was applied to his cheek. The candy pressed against the outside of his teeth, counteracting the pressure of Xu Ze's fingers, making the soft flesh of his cheek feel a slight pain.
Xiao Zhier didn't say anything for a while. He just turned his head to avoid Xu Ze's hand and looked up at him again.
With a light "crunch" sound, Xiao Zhier bit the candy in his mouth into pieces.
For some reason, Xu Ze trembled.
Xiao Zhier pulled out the stick of the lollipop and threw it into the trash can under the table. He slowly took a tissue and pressed it against his lips. He waited until he had swallowed the candy before speaking: "Let's go."
Xu Ze was stunned.
Looking at the person opposite him who didn't move, Xiao Zhier raised his hand and waved it in front of him with amusement: "Doctor Xu, you don't think I'm asking you to come to the cafe for a date, do you?"
Before Xiao Zhier finished speaking, Xu Ze's eyes lit up. If he had not managed to retain a bit of rationality in front of Xiao Zhier, he would have probably nodded.
But even so, Xu Ze's sparkling eyes betrayed his emotions.
Xiao Zhier couldn't help but curl his lips slightly. He felt that if Xu Ze had a tail behind him, he would probably be wagging it happily like a puppy seeking favor.
Xiao Zhier raised his hand, clenched it into a fist and put it in front of his lips. He coughed lightly to hide the strong smile on his lips: "You wish."
His voice fell lightly, and his cool fingertips brushed Xu Ze's eyelashes like a tease: "Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."
Xu Ze's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes. In the darkness, his eyelids trembled, and his soft eyelashes left a furry touch on his palm.
Xu Ze took a breath carefully, adjusted his mood, stood up and followed with a smile: "Brother Xiao, wait for me."
Xiao Zhier smiled with his eyes curved. He folded the blanket in his hand carefully and handed it back to Li Ruiqing with both hands: "Thank you for the blanket."
He seemed to have noticed nothing and smiled gently as usual.
If Li Ruiqing hadn't noticed that Xiao Zhier had been staring at her blanket and then at "Arc Light" hanging in the store for a long time, she might have really thought that Xiao Zhier was completely unaware of her identity.
However, Xiao Zhier was so considerate that Li Ruiqing wanted to make friends with him.
She and Xiao Zhier looked at each other.
When Xiao Zhier saw the change in Li Ruiqing's expression, he understood a little about her feelings. Although he didn't know why the eldest daughter of the Li family did not stay in the Li family's territory in Yuncheng, but instead ran to Shaocheng, he was not the kind of person who was willing to pry into other people's privacy.
Therefore, Xiao Zhier smiled and nodded at Li Ruiqing before she spoke: "The coffee is of good quality, and the cake is delicious. If there is a chance next time, I hope to discuss art knowledge with the boss."
Li Ruiqing went abroad to study oil painting. She was slightly startled when she heard this, then smiled and nodded: "Okay, you are welcome to come anytime."
We are all smart people, so there is no need to say anything explicitly.
Xiao Zhier didn't stay any longer. He just nodded politely and turned to walk towards Xu Ze.
Xu Ze was standing at the door. When he saw Xiao Zhier approaching, he slightly turned sideways and pushed open the door of the cafe. He waited until Xiao Zhier left before turning around and walking out.
At the moment the door closed, Xu Ze raised his eyes and looked at Li Ruiqing behind the bar for a moment, and both of them rolled their eyes.
"You seem to be very familiar with Miss Li."
Before Xu Ze let go of the door handle, he heard Xiao Zhier's voice floating faintly from behind him. He froze and subconsciously looked up at the small metal ornament hanging on the door of the cafe.
The small decoration was carefully wiped clean, and the silver-white metal surface reflected the gentle eyes and brows of the young man behind it like a mirror.
Xu Ze was usually afraid that some of his actions or words might offend Xiao Zhier, so he never dared to stare at Xiao Zhier for as long as he was doing now.
Unexpectedly, he and Li Ruiqing have been at odds for more than ten years, and now he is using Li Ruiqing's shop to satisfy his own little thoughts that he dare not let others know.
His eyes moved greedily, like a vicious beast that had been imprisoned in a cage for thousands of years, wanting to devour the beautiful young man behind him.
Xu Ze gripped the door handle tightly, his eyes fixed on Xiao Zhier's soft and tender lips for a long time, until the person behind him lowered his head slightly.
“Really…”
Xiao Zhier had a faint smile in his eyes, but he pretended to be helpless. He looked at Xu Ze who was petrified at the door of the cafe, and glanced at the shiny little metal ornament unintentionally. As expected, Xiao Zhier's eyes met a pair of beautiful eyes.
"If you want to see it, you don't have to be so sneaky."
Xiao Zhier sighed softly, he took two steps forward and put his hand on Xu Ze's shoulder, his soft peach blossom eyes looking at Xu Ze through the reflection of the metal accessories.
Xu Ze's fingers that were gripping the door handle relaxed the moment the hand of the person behind him rested on his shoulder. He stared into Xiao Zhier's eyes and said in a low voice, "Teacher Xiao, please don't tease me. I take it seriously."
Xiao Zhier pinched Xu Ze's shoulder, then held his arm and pulled him towards him: "Then take it seriously."
His force was gentle, and if Xu Ze wanted to break free from Xiao Zhier's fingers, he only needed to move his arm slightly.
Xu Ze lowered his head, and following Xiao Zhier's force, he turned around and looked at him. His dark pupils seemed to be filled with an unspeakable, strong desire.
Xiao Zhier curled his lips slightly when he saw this. He tilted his head to take another look at the metal decoration, then he hooked and flicked it, and turned the small metal piece over.
Xu Ze's eyes followed Xiao Zhier's movements. The burning gaze on his fingertips seemed real, which made Xiao Zhier feel a little embarrassed in his heart.
But as a teacher after all, Xiao Zhier has been able to quickly adapt to all kinds of gazes.
He withdrew his hand, raised his eyes and looked at Xu Ze with a smile: "Looking at it openly, it must feel better than before."
Xu Ze pursed his lips subconsciously. He looked at Xiao Zhier's face, which had a gentle and calm smile as usual, but he felt inexplicably anxious.
Xiao Zhier seemed not to notice the suppressed emotions in Xu Ze's eyes. He raised his chin slightly and looked at Xu Ze like a noble cat: "Where is the car parked?"
Xu Ze came to his senses belatedly. He quickly walked over and took Xiao Zhier to a nearby parking lot: "It's not easy to park here. I parked a little far away..."
After spending some time in the cafe, by the time they got in the car, it was already past lunch time.
Xu Ze glanced at the time and said apologetically, "I'm late. If Brother Xiao is hungry, I put two packets of biscuits in the storage box in front. You can eat first."
The autumn weather was still hot, and Xu Ze rolled up the sleeves of his shirt above his elbows, revealing his fair and strong forearms.
His five fingers were loosely placed on the steering wheel, and he only used a little force when turning the wheel. At this time, the blue veins on the back of his hand became slightly obvious.
Xu Ze obviously has the habit of exercising, but he does not have the aggressive muscles of those over-exercised muscular men on short video platforms. The muscles on his arms do not appear exaggerated, nor do they have no sense of existence. He is the type that Xiao Zhier would appreciate.
Xiao Zhier leaned lazily on the back of the chair, his elbows resting on the car window, his chin supported by his fingers.
He narrowed his eyes slightly to look at Xu Ze, his gaze fixed on the young man's fingers filled with undisguised admiration.
Xu Ze hadn’t had the chance to put into practice what it meant to watch openly, but now he got to experience it on his own.
While waiting for the traffic light, he turned around to look at Xiao Zhier.
When Xiao Zhier saw Xu Ze's gaze coming over, he didn't have the slightest intention of dodging. Instead, he looked back at Xu Ze's gaze with confidence.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and no one spoke.
However, it was as if an invisible hand quietly raised the temperature in the car in an unnoticed corner, and my heartbeat speed was slowly rising.
Before they knew it, both of their ears had turned red.
“Beep, beep—beep—”
A shrill horn sounded from behind, and Xu Ze stepped back suddenly as if he was scalded. He turned around and realized that the street lights had turned bright green, and there was an empty road in front of him.
Xu Ze quickly changed gears. As the car slowly moved forward, he took the time to glance in the direction of Xiao Zhier.
Facing Xu Ze's shy gaze, Xiao Zhier slowly raised the corner of his lips.
Following Xiao Zhier's navigation, Xu Ze found the restaurant. After parking the car, he almost ran away from the car.
Although he always felt that Xiao Zhier had completely understood his thoughts, the other party was always so generous and dignified, and his thoughts were really hard to figure out, so Xu Ze was always worried.
He was worried that he would not be able to control his desire to get close to Xiao Zhier and would scare the beauty, and he was also worried that the beauty would never respond to his feelings. Driven by this feeling, Xu Ze couldn't help but pay attention to Xiao Zhier every second he was with Xiao Zhier.
So when Xiao Zhier showed some seductive intentions in order to tease him, Xu Ze was completely "hurt". His rationality, which he was so proud of, did not last for more than a few minutes before he was completely defeated in front of Xiao Zhier.
Xiao Zhier had just unbuckled his seat belt. He watched Xu Ze get out of the car in a panic and blinked innocently while sitting in the car.
His eyebrows were slightly curved, and his beautiful eyelashes were filled with bright sunshine, which fell into the eyes of Xu Ze, who couldn't help but look back at him, making Xu Ze dazed for a moment.
