Zhuang Zixian was woken up in the morning and couldn't fall back asleep.
He watched Barlow walk away, a slight downward curl at the corner of his mouth, and said with a hint of disdain:
"Bruce was right after all, you really are... indiscriminate in your choices."
The newly moved-in male neighbor, whom I've barely met, has already taken the initiative to come over and fawn over me.
This Balo looks like he's not an honest guy.
As Balo walked away, the antennae on his head twitched.
Because of the distance, he only heard the first half of the sentence.
What did Bruce say to him? Did he talk about how to evaluate him?
Barlow glanced back at Zhuang Zixian and sighed inwardly.
Male insects are truly wicked and willful creatures.
They agreed to the outrageous request so easily.
And what about himself? Barlow asked himself honestly, he was also a piece of trash, without any principles or bottom line, indulging Bruce.
After buying breakfast, we went to the farm.
Barlow, Bruce, and five waitresses sat at the table, as usual, eating breakfast supplements and fruit after the meal.
Right after I finished the last strawberry.
Bruce suddenly asked:
"Barlow, if you don't have anything to do today, you should know what to do next door, right?"
Barlow nodded, recalling their conversation from the previous night.
He should go next door and do something to please Lord Zhuang Zixian, so that he can pass the test and climb into Zhuang Zixian's... bed.
Bruce smiled:
"Very good, now that you know, go and do it. You've finished eating, it's time for you to set off."
Barlow's lips twitched involuntarily, but he ultimately said nothing, grabbed his thin coat from the doorway, and walked outside.
He set off at seven o'clock in the morning to inspect the farmland.
I'll be back by 11 a.m.
Remembering what Zhuang Zixian had said that morning, Barlow turned and went to the supermarket on his way back.
He bought some fresh ingredients to prepare a delicious meal for Lord Zhuang Zixian.
To be honest, his cooking skills are quite good.
In his childhood, when he didn't have a big appetite, he cooked for himself and developed excellent cooking skills.
Unfortunately, after he grew up, he needed to eat about 100 kilograms of food at each meal to keep up with the rate of energy consumption, and under such circumstances, he was no longer able to cook.
After purchasing more than a dozen kinds of ingredients, Barlow returned to the manor, crossed a few small trees, and arrived next door.
He knocked on the door again.
This time, Zhuang Zixian came out in less than five minutes.
Zhuang Zixian, still wearing his pajamas, frowned and asked:
What are you doing here again?
Barlow raised his hand, revealing the ingredients he was carrying:
"You said this morning that you don't like taking nutritional supplements. I came here specifically to cook for you."
Zhuang Zixian was somewhat taken aback, and he looked at Balo with a probing gaze.
Barlow's eyes were pure and open, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he was doing.
Zhuang Zixian asked in confusion:
"I'm just your neighbor, what you're doing is really going too far..."
Zhuang Zixian wanted to say that since we were all strangers, I shouldn't take the initiative to find him or ask him to do so much. He couldn't possibly agree to sleep with him.
But Zhuang Zixian only got halfway through his sentence before he remembered that Bruce had said Barlow was very good in that area...
Zhuang Zixian emerged from Planet Aphrodite and immediately chose to become a tokusatsu actor upon reaching adulthood.
To be honest, he had never had a relationship with a female insect.
He couldn't even imagine how good the female insect could be in that area.
Zhuang Zixian turned his head for a moment. As a male insect, whether or not to sleep was entirely up to him.
Curiosity triumphed over everything.
Zhuang Zixian slightly turned his body to make room for him.
"Then come in."
Barlow walked in without any hesitation, as if it were his right, and casually asked:
Do you eat spicy food, sir? Or do you prefer a sweet and sour taste?
Zhuang Zixian stood behind Balo, watching Balo's swaying figure as he walked, slightly lost in thought.
After a long pause, he finally answered:
"Either is fine, but when I cook on Aphrodite, I usually eat sweet and spicy dishes."
Barlow asked curiously:
"Do you have to cook for yourselves on Aphrodite?"
Barlow's figure was obscured by the kitchen counter, so there was nothing to see. Zhuang Zixian withdrew his gaze.
"Yes, I usually cook for myself."
The two chatted casually, creating an eerily harmonious atmosphere.
Previously, they both thought the other was a bad person.
After some discussion, they felt that the other person might not be so bad after all, at least their personality was very easygoing.
It is often said that first impressions are very important, as they determine how others perceive you.
However, there is another situation called a bottoming out and rebound.
My initial impression was terrible; it was like hitting rock bottom.
But after hitting rock bottom, there's only one path left: upward.
As people get to know each other better, even the smallest positive qualities are magnified.
When you discover someone's strengths, you might even have the illusion of uncovering a treasure.
The two chatted about everything from small talk to cooking, their favorite dishes, and then about their childhood.
The moment the aroma of food wafts out.
Zhuangzi realized that he had said too much.
[Working overtime under the guise of rest days, I'm completely exhausted, but I'll definitely make up for the word count tomorrow!]
