Chapter 59 Chapter 59 This is for confession.
Ji Maili didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, he was the only one in the bed.
He closed his eyes and shouted, "Shen Lu."
Shen Lu walked to the door, his hands stained with flour, "Are you awake?"
Ji Maili lay on the bed and looked at him. Last night's conversation had begun and ended in the darkness. When he woke up, the two of them seemed to have returned to their relationship before last night. "What are you doing?"
Shen Lu said, “Making dumplings.”
Ji Maili yawned, "Do you want me to help you?"
Shen Lu sneered mercilessly: "Forget it, don't ruin my flour."
Ji Maili muttered, "Stingy guy."
Chen Lu went out to continue kneading the dough. "You stingy guy wants to make dumpling wrappers out of the saved dough for you. I'm really stingy."
Ji Maili came out of the house and stood beside the table watching Shen Lu knead the dough, "What filling?"
Shen Lu: "Meat filling."
Ji Maili nodded, "I like meat filling."
"I know you like it." Chen Lu chased him away, "Go brush your teeth and wash your face."
Ji Maili came out after washing her face. Chen Lu had already started wrapping the dough. Ji Maili sat beside her and poked the dough: "I'm going to see my dad tomorrow. My mom said that his affairs are going well."
Shen Lu: "Please take good care of it for me and my uncle."
Ji Maili looked at him, and suddenly something in his head twitched. He asked him, "Do you want to go with me?"
Shen Lu glanced at him and said, “You are a family, what should I do?”
Ji Maili poked his finger into the dough and said, "You are not an outsider."
Chen Lu was very conflicted. He was afraid that Ji Maili couldn't distinguish some things and made random definitions, but he also wanted to just let it go. His reason allowed him to distinguish right from wrong, but his heart didn't want to make such a clear distinction.
Ji Maili's fingers had almost turned the dough into a hornet's nest. Chen Lu tutted, "Do you still want to eat? Go play with the plasticine if you want."
Ji Maili raised his innocent face: "Do you dislike me?"
Shen Lu was almost tortured to death by him, "I don't mind, I'm afraid you will dislike it when you eat it after poking it."
Ji Maili moved himself to the sofa to watch TV, his eyes glancing at Chen Lu from time to time. Chen Lu was really handsome, he had been handsome since he was a child.
He took his phone, opened the front camera and looked at himself.
She looks pretty good, no wonder Shen Lu likes her.
Shen Lu glanced at him and saw him grinning at his phone. Shen Lu couldn't help but laugh.
Ji Maili looked over and asked, "Am I handsome?"
Shen Lu nodded sincerely, "Handsome."
Ji Maili: "Who is more handsome, me or you?"
Shen Lu: "What do you think?"
Ji Maili looked at himself in the camera again and sighed, "You, I'm a little too naive." He gestured on his face as he spoke, "It would be better if I had a scar on my face."
Shen Lu said cautiously: "Don't mess around, that's not cool, that's stupid."
Ji Maili stared at him, "How can you talk like that to the person you like?"
Shen Lu was stunned for a moment, then laughed angrily, "Fuck!"
Ji Maili shook his noble head and said, "No!"
Shen Lu: "No what?"
Ji Maili glanced at him and said, "No way."
Ji Maili used the not-so-sensitive remote control to change channels. After a long time of searching, he picked out a TV shopping program and watched it quite seriously.
Chen Lu glanced at the TV and then at Ji Maili. This idiot didn't know what he was thinking about.
The dumplings were cooked, and Shen Lu asked him to come and eat. Ji Maili sat over and said, "I want to eat chocolate."
Shen Lu gave him the chopsticks, “Why are you eating chocolate with your meal?”
Ji Maili said, "I want to eat."
Not knowing what was wrong with him, Shen Lu held the idea that one should always be responsive to requests from the person he liked. He stood up and went to the drawer in his room to take out a box of chocolates and gave it to him. "Eat it after dinner."
Ji Maili was holding the chocolate with a smug look on his face. He said to Shen Lu, "My mom said it's not nice to give chocolate to others. You must never give it to others, okay? We have a good relationship, so it's okay to give it to me, but it's not nice to give it to others."
The last time he sent a message about this, Shen Lu thought he was talking nonsense. Now that he heard him talk about it again, Shen Lu began to reflect on whether there was really something bad in it. After all, he was not an authority in this area of pursuing people.
Shen Lu asked: "What's wrong?"
Ji Maili said seriously, "It's just not very good. I can't explain it to you clearly. Anyway, just remember not to give chocolates to others."
Ji Maili went home in the afternoon. After he left, Shen Lu kept searching Baidu to find out what the harm was in giving chocolates as gifts. All the search results showed that Ji Maili was talking nonsense.
There's nothing wrong with that. He made it up just to get his chocolate?
-
The day before leaving for a foreign art exhibition, Chen Lu came to Ji Maili's house for dinner. After dinner, Ji Maili went back to his room to pack his luggage. Chen Lu did not go in to accompany him. He ran out to ask Liang Lin where she put her things, and then asked Ji Huan if the charger was with her, constantly making his presence felt.
At this moment, he came out with two hats and gestured back and forth on his head, "Chen Lu, which of these two do you think looks better?"
Shen Lu took a look and said, "It's black."
Ji Maili glanced at the other green one in his hand and said, "You can wear the black one, and I'll wear the green one."
Liang Lin said to him: "You're wearing a green hat for no reason, what do you think?"
Ji Maili said, "If you want to live a decent life, you must have some green on your head." Then he ran back to the room to continue packing his suitcase.
Ji Huan looked at the crazy Ji Maili and asked Shen Lu, "Is he in love?"
Shen Lu was stunned for a moment. Dating? Who was he dating?
Chen Lu didn't know why he felt guilty, but then he felt strange. They hadn't talked about it, so what was he feeling guilty about? "No."
Ji Huan said, "Don't you think he's been particularly excited lately?"
Liang Lin didn't think anything was wrong: "Maybe it's because I'm going abroad."
Ji Huan: "This isn't his first time going abroad, and I've never seen him behave this abnormally before."
Liang Lin also felt that Ji Maili was a little too happy. "Maybe he's happier because he's going with Xiao Lu."
Ji Huan shook his head: "No, there must be something going on with him. Look at his face full of passion, he's probably in love."
Chen Lu didn't know how Ji Huan could tell that Ji Maili was in love, but speaking of love, he remembered the question he had been searching for in vain for the past few days. He asked Liang Lin, "Auntie, is there any harm in giving chocolate to others?"
Liang Lin didn't understand: "What chocolate?"
Chen Lu: "Mai Mai said that it's not good for you and him to give chocolates to others. I searched the Internet for a long time and couldn't find anything wrong with it."
Liang Linxun realized what he was talking about and laughed, "Hey kid, why are you still talking nonsense? I didn't tell him that giving chocolates is bad. I just said chocolates are for expressing love. Last time, he held a box of chocolates and refused to put it down. I thought it was a girl who gave it to him, so I asked him about it. Then he said it was you."
Liang Lin stood up after saying this: "I'll go cut some fruit for you."
Shen Lu was stunned for a long time before realizing that Ji Maili's nonsense was not to get his chocolate, but had other intentions.
He was about to laugh when he suddenly noticed Ji Huan's gaze. He turned his head and saw Ji Huan looking at him, "What chocolate?"
Chen Lu felt guilty, and before he could figure out how to explain it, Ji Maili suddenly called out from inside the room, "Chen Lu! Come here."
Shen Lu looked at Ji Huan again, but Ji Huan looked away and waved his hand, "Go ahead, make him quiet down."
Shen Lu breathed a sigh of relief. He walked to the door of Ji Maili's room and looked at the person squatting there packing the suitcases.
Ji Maili looked up at him: "What are you doing standing there? Come in."
Shen Lu walked in: "Have you finished eating the chocolate?"
There were still two left that he couldn't bear to eat, so Ji Maili asked, "After you finish eating them, will you buy me some more?"
Shen Lu: "Didn't you say that the chocolate was too expensive and wouldn't let me buy it? The last box I gave you was the last one, and it's gone."
Ji Maili had said this before because he felt bad for Chen Lu spending money, but when he heard that it was gone, Ji Maili was a little disappointed, "Then, can't I buy it occasionally?"
Shen Lu squatted in front of him across the suitcase, "You want it?"
Ji Maili nodded, "Yeah."
Shen Lu looked at him: "Then you have to promise me that you will only eat the chocolate I give you from now on."
Ji Maili: "Why?"
Chen Lu pulled the other end of the charging cable in Ji Maili's hand and pulled it forward bit by bit: "I don't know what's wrong with giving chocolate, but I just learned that chocolate is used to express love. You said before that I can only give it to you. To be fair, you can only eat what I give you."
Ji Maili thought that Shen Lu, a nerd, would not know about such things. Looking at his sticky eyes that were almost sticky, Ji Maili suddenly felt guilty as if he had been caught. His eyes glanced around unconsciously, and the charging cable in his hand was almost pinched by Shen Lu but he did not let go.
Just as their fingertips were about to touch each other, Liang Lin knocked on the door: "Come out and have some fruit."
Liang Lin looked at Ji Maili: "Mai Mai, why is your face so red?"
Ji Maili quickly stood up and said, "No, I'm fine. I'm just a little hot."
Ji Maili stepped over the box and was about to walk out when his back foot tripped on it. Shen Lu helped him up and whispered in his ear, "Slow down."
Chen Lu's hand felt like it was burning someone, so hot that Ji Maili ran out without even looking back.
Ji Maili's shame would automatically dissipate after about 60 minutes, and when he arrived at the airport the next day, he had completely forgotten the embarrassment of yesterday.
Early in the morning, Ji Maili took a taxi to Shen Lu's house to pick someone up. He kept talking all the way to the airport: "My mom has booked a hotel for us. It's a deluxe king-size room. This is the hotel I stayed in last time."
After boarding the plane, Ji Maili's mouth never stopped. Shen Lu now knew why Ji Huan talked so much last night. He was really excited.
Shen Lu: "Now I know why Auntie doesn't want to take you out. You're too noisy."
Ji Maili glared at him and said, "Why did I ask you to come with me if I didn't say anything? It would be better for me to come by myself. I don't know anyone and don't need to say a word."
Chen Lu smiled, "So the hotel you booked this time is the same one where you hugged chocolate on the bed last time?"
Ji Maili tutted, "Do you owe it?"
Shen Lu took out a box of chocolates from his bag, "Here."
Ji Maili looked at Chen Lu: "Didn't you say there was no more?"
Shen Lu: “I lied to you.
Ji Maili took the chocolate and said, "How can you be so self-righteous when you lie to others?"
Ji Maili knew that the chocolates that Chen Lu bought had a bow on the outer packaging. Chen Lu had always removed the bows in advance when giving him chocolates, but this time he didn't. The box with the bow looked like a gift.
If the chocolate Shen Lu gave him before was just to satisfy his mouth, then this...
Ji Maili fiddled with the bow on it and asked, "Why didn't you take it off?"
Although Chen Lu was still unsure why Ji Maili had lied to him about not giving chocolates to others, he didn't want to be cautious anymore: "This is for confession. If you eat it, you'll be mine."
Ji Maili looked at him: "...Then are you going to let me eat it? This is like eating a contract to sell my body."
Shen Lu: "Well, do you want to eat it?"
Ji Maili: "Eat it. It's not the first time I've eaten it."
After the plane took off, Ji Maili wanted to chat with Shen Lu, but when he saw Shen Lu took out his glasses, he asked warily, "What are you doing?"
Shen Lu took out a review material from his bag, "Aren't we going to fly for more than ten hours? Let's read a book."
This was completely different from Ji Maili's expectations. Was he crazy to read for more than ten hours on the plane?
Ji Maili asked: "Then what should I do?"
Shen Lu took out another book and said, "Look at this."
Ji Maili threw it back to him and said, "I won't read it. I finally finished the exam. Only fools read books."
Ji Maili turned around and went back to playing Landlord. He felt that Shen Lu was truly different from a normal person. He didn't want to talk to him and was actually reviewing! What chocolates for confessing love? It was just a joke. It would be strange if he could find a partner!
Ji Maili was playing with her phone while stealing glances at him. Chen Lu's glasses seemed to have magical powers. He became a completely different person once he put them on. Someone in the book must have seduced his soul!
I hate it so much. I'm going to break off the legs of his glasses when he isn't paying attention one day!
