Chapter 53 Chapter 53 That’s my milk tea.
Fu Xu hadn't yet wiped the water from his fingertips, but upon hearing Chen Louchen's words, his fingertips subconsciously curled. He could clearly feel the person behind him breathing suddenly become heavier, and the arm around his waist tightened a little. Even the air was filled with a subtle sense of grievance, a uniquely Chen Louchen, an awkward emotion hidden beneath a cold and hard exterior.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen..." Fu Xu still didn't dare change his words. He lowered his eyes to look at the vegetables soaking in the sink. Water droplets dripped along the edges of the leaves onto the porcelain surface, making a small sound. "I'm afraid... if you wake up, you'll think I..."
Before he finished speaking, the force on his waist suddenly loosened.
Before Fu Xu could turn around, he heard hurried footsteps behind him, each one stomping on the floor with a bit of anger that he couldn't vent. When he turned around, he saw only Chen Louchen's back.
The corner of her light grey clothes swayed in the wind, and she went straight up the stairs without even turning back to look at him.
The footsteps on the stairwell gradually disappeared. Fu Xu stood at the kitchen door, still holding the unwashed vegetables in his hand, and felt like something was gently pulling at his heart.
He was too familiar with Chen Louchen's appearance. It was obvious that he was angry again. He was angry that he refused to call him "husband" like before, and he was still being distant with him.
Fu Xu put the vegetables back into the sink, wiped his hands, and walked upstairs quietly.
The bedroom door on the second floor was ajar, revealing a warm yellow light. He stood at the door, hesitating for a few seconds before gently tapping on it with his fingertips.
"Mr. Shen?" His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing something. "I... I cut some fruit for you, would you like to eat some?"
There was no movement from inside the door.
Fu Xu knocked again, and when his fingertips felt the warmth of the door, he became even more panicked. "Then I'll put the fruit at the door. Remember to eat it later."
Still no sound.
He bit his lower lip and pushed the door tentatively, but the door didn't move at all. It was obviously locked by the person inside.
Fu Xu stood at the door, feeling a little helpless.
Fu Xu sighed, turned around and wanted to go downstairs, ready to wait until the dust in the building dissipated before coming back. But just as he took a step, the door behind him suddenly opened with a "click", and a warm hand suddenly grabbed his wrist and pulled him back hard.
Fu Xu screamed, and his back instantly touched the cold door panel. Before he could react, the light in front of him was blocked.
Chen Louchen leaned over and stood in front of him, his golden pupils shimmering faintly in the warm light, his face clearly reflected in them. The boy's breathing was a little hurried, his nose almost touching his, and even the fresh breath on his body was wrapped in a slightly hot temperature.
"Do you really want to call me Mr. Shen?" Chen Louchen's voice was a little hoarse, with a hint of imperceptible grievance at the end. The hands hanging by his side were quietly clenched, like a little tiger who was throwing a tantrum but refused to speak.
Fu Xu's cheeks instantly burned, and just as he was about to explain, his lips were blocked.
Chen Louchen's kiss was quick and soft, without any rules, and full of possessiveness. His lips were warm and gently rubbed Fu Xu's lips, then he carefully deepened the kiss. Fu Xu's hands froze at his sides, his heart beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out of his chest. He could feel Chen Louchen's fingertips gently clasping his waist.
They kissed for a long time, until Fu Xu was almost out of breath, and then Chen Louchen slowly let him go. The boy's forehead was pressed against his, his golden pupils were covered with a layer of mist, and the tips of his ears were red enough to drip blood, but he still turned his face away stubbornly, his voice muffled: "If you call me the wrong name again next time..."
Before he could finish his words, he was gently interrupted by Fu Xu.
"husband."
Fu Xu's voice was soft, with a hint of hoarseness from having just been kissed, and it fell on Shen Louchen's heart like a feather.
Chen Louchen's body froze instantly, and then the tips of his ears turned even redder. He turned his head, deliberately put on a stern face, reached out and grabbed Fu Xu's wrist, and pulled him towards the bedroom: "You're hungry, let me take you out to eat."
Fu Xu was pulled away by him, but he began to have doubts in his heart.
When Chen Louchen lost his memory due to the pheromone outbreak, he never went out, but why did he suddenly want to go out today?
He secretly raised his eyes to look at the profile of Chen Louchen. The outline of the alpha was clear, and the loose hair on his forehead was swaying in the wind. The golden pupils no longer had the previous confusion, but instead had a bit more clarity.
A thought suddenly popped up in Fu Xu's mind: Did Mr. Shen... remember it?
But just as this thought came to mind, it was interrupted by Chen Louchen's action. Chen Louchen pulled him to the cloakroom, took out an off-white coat from the cabinet, turned around, and clumsily put it on Fu Xu. His fingers did not forget to help him straighten his collar, and his voice softened again: "It's cold outside, don't catch a cold."
That cautious look was no different from when he lost his memory before.
Fu Xu suppressed the doubts in his heart and obediently let Shen Louchen help him tidy up his clothes. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
The two went downstairs and the driver was already waiting at the door.
Chen Louchen took Fu Xu's hand and got into the car. He didn't say much during the whole journey, but he never let go of Fu Xu's hand. His fingertips gently stroked his palm.
Fu Xu sat in the car, looking at the scenery outside the window curiously.
This was the first time he went out alone with Shen Louchen. In the past, he either followed Shen Louchen to some occasions where family members had to be brought along, or he stayed at home. He had never gone out on a date like an ordinary couple like now.
The leaves on the roadside were blown by the wind and fell on the car window, then gently floated away. Fu Xu's eyes were bright as if they were filled with stars. He couldn't help but point at the street view outside the window and whispered to Chen Louchen, "That store is so beautiful."
Chen Louchen tilted his head to look at him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
Fu Xu's profile looked particularly soft in the sunlight, his long eyelashes trembling gently like butterfly wings, and even his tone when speaking was a little excited. He suddenly felt that Fu Xu was very much like the little squirrel he had seen in the park before, finally daring to poke his head out of the tree hole and look at the world curiously.
"Want to go?" Chen Louchen asked.
Fu Xu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No."
Not long after the car started, Fu Xu suddenly smelled a sweet fragrance coming in through the crack in the car window. He turned his head sharply and looked out the window.
Not far away, on a street corner, there is a bustling snack street. Red lanterns are hung on the stalls, emitting steam. The sweet aroma of sugar-roasted chestnuts, the oily aroma of grilled sausages, and the milky aroma of milk tea mixed together, making people feel itchy.
Fu Xu's eyes lit up instantly, his nose twitched slightly, his gaze fixed on the snack street, and even his fingers couldn't help but clench the corners of his clothes.
He had never been to a snack street in his life, and every time he smelled the food Fu Jiaze brought back, his stomach would growl.
“Husband…” Fu Xu hesitated for a long time before speaking softly, gently poking Shen Louchen’s arm with his fingertips, “Can we…can we go there and take a look?”
Chen Louchen followed his gaze and frowned subconsciously.
The snack street is bustling with people, and the food on the stalls doesn't look very hygienic. Fu Xu has a bad stomach, so what if he gets an upset stomach?
He was about to refuse, but turned around and saw Fu Xu's expression: his eyes were full of anticipation, like a puppy staring at a bone, and even his lips were slightly pursed, fearing that he would not agree.
The words of refusal came to his lips, but were swallowed back by Chen Louchen. He reached out and ruffled Fu Xu's hair, and said in a soft voice: "Go if you want to." After that, he ordered the driver in front: "Turn around."
The driver was stunned for a moment, subconsciously glancing at Chen Louchen in the rearview mirror. The master used to despise crowded, messy places like this, so why was he suddenly willing to go to the snack street today? He didn't ask any further questions, obediently turning the car around and parking in a spot near the snack street.
Chen Louchen pulled Fu Xu out of the car. As soon as they reached the entrance of the snack street, they were surrounded by the lively scene inside.
Fu Xu's eyes were full of curiosity. He stared at the golden roasted chestnuts, then looked at the cheese-wrapped hot dogs, and his pace slowed down.
"Which one do you want to eat?" Chen Louchen asked him, and helped him block the crowded crowd around him.
Fu Xu pointed to a milk tea stand not far away and whispered, "I want to drink that... pearl milk tea."
Chen Louchen nodded and pulled him to the milk tea stall.
The stall owner was a middle-aged aunt. When she saw Chen Louchen, she was stunned for a moment.
The young man in front of me was wearing a well-tailored black coat and had a noble temperament. It was obvious that he was not the kind of person who would come to such a place. Why would he accompany the boy next to him to buy milk tea?
"Pearl milk tea, less sugar, room temperature." Chen Louchen spoke in a calm voice.
The aunt quickly agreed and made milk tea skillfully. Fu Xu stood beside Shen Louchen and couldn't help but secretly look at him.
Chen Louchen's profile has smooth lines and a clear jawline. Even standing in a snack street full of fireworks, he still looks out of place, but because of the hand holding his side, he looks a little more worldly.
Soon, the milk tea was ready. Chen Louchen took the milk tea, handed the warm cup to Fu Xu, and pulled him to the next stall.
Fu Xu sipped the milk tea. The pearls were chewy and sweet but not greasy. His eyes curved into crescents and he couldn't help but say to Chen Louchen, "Hubby, this is delicious."
Chen Louchen glanced at him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise: "Hmm"
In the following time, Chen Louchen accompanied Fu Xu to visit almost all the snack streets.
He would buy whatever Fu Xu pointed to.
Sugar-roasted chestnuts, grilled sausages, octopus balls, stinky tofu... His hands were soon filled with bags of various snacks, and his fingers were left with red marks from the cheap plastic bags.
When passing by a stall selling octopus balls, the stall owner couldn't help but look at Chen Louchen a few more times, muttering in his heart: This guy is so handsome and well-dressed, why is he accompanying his girlfriend to buy these cheap things?
Chen Louchen paid no attention to the gazes of others, only intently watching Fu Xu. Fu Xu was nibbling at a small octopus ball, with a little sauce on the corner of his mouth. He reached out and gently wiped the sauce off the corner of Fu Xu's mouth with his fingertips, his movements natural and gentle. Fu Xu's cheeks flushed instantly, and she quickly lowered her head, taking small bites of the small ball in her hand, not daring to look at him.
After strolling for a while, Fu Xu stopped, holding his stomach. His stomach was not good to begin with, and he had eaten too much just now, and now he felt a little uncomfortable. He looked at the snacks in Chen Louchen's hand that he had not finished eating, and whispered: "Hubby, I can't eat anymore. These... can we take them back?"
Chen Louchen frowned, reached out and touched his stomach, and said with a bit of worry: "Not feeling well?" He glanced at the snacks in his hand. Most of them were only eaten a few bites. It was a pity, but it was also unhygienic to keep them for a long time. "Throw it away, don't get an upset stomach."
"But... what a waste..."
Seeing Fu Xu's sad look, Chen Louchen took the half-full cup of milk tea from his hand, took a bite and drank it directly. The pearls slid into his mouth along the straw, carrying a light milky aroma and the remaining warmth of Fu Xu.
Fu Xu stood there in a daze, his eyes wide open, watching Chen Louchen drink the rest of his milk tea. Chen Louchen's movements were natural and skillful, as if he had done it countless times. There was no trace of disgust in his golden pupils, but rather a sense of self-righteousness.
Chen Louchen closed his eyes, thinking that he must have been possessed by his amnesiac self, which was why he had left so much work behind. He was wandering around with an omega.
Although, he doesn't hate it.
Chen Louchen took a few sips before realizing Fu Xu was staring at him. His ears instantly turned red before he remembered what he had done. He turned his face away and said, "What are you looking at? Don't waste it." He then picked up the snack bag in his hand and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat something light."
"Omegas are not allowed here."
At the entrance of the hotel, a waiter stopped the two of them.
