May 3rd arrived as promised.
The excitement of the white rose flowering period also arrived as expected.
It wants to bloom unrestrainedly and find a warm, humid and comfortable place for pollination and sowing.
The plant's instinct kept urging Bai Yu in his mind, like a spell.
Bai Yu, who was waiting at home, habitually suppressed his restlessness, which was much stronger than in previous years, and shifted his attention from "flowering! Pollination! Sowing!" to "What delicious food will Chu Zehuai make?"
After the raw materials for various delicacies were delivered to his door, Bai Yu finally suppressed the instinctive impulse in his heart when he looked at the fresh ingredients.
He helped to carry a large variety of ingredients into the kitchen. While introducing the location of the kitchen utensils and seasonings in the house to Chu Zehuai, he looked behind him:
"Eh? Didn't Sister Yuan and the others come?"
"We didn't come together. They have other tasks. They may come over after a while."
Chu Zehuai lied with his eyes open and closed the door.
...
...
“Do you have any flavor preferences?”
“As long as it tastes good, I can eat anything.”
Even if it doesn't taste good, he will definitely eat it for Captain Chu's sake.
"Okay, then you help me. Since there are so many people, there's a lot to do."
"Uh-huh."
In the small kitchen, Bai Yu went to the side to wash and cut vegetables. Chu Zehuai skillfully found an apron and put it on, but paused when he saw the kitchen utensils.
Bai Yu lives alone, does he need such huge kitchen utensils?
This huge pot must be a size that can only be customized.
Without thinking too much about the unusual size of the tableware, Chu Zehuai skillfully picked up the kitchen knife beside him and made some knife marks on it.
He entered the area that he was most familiar with and had the strongest control over. His originally nervous mood calmed down. He took a bone in his hand, and with the movement of the knife, the meat fell off the bone.
While Bai Yu was still slowly washing and picking vegetables, the other side had already started cooking the pork bone soup in full swing.
The heat circulates in the small kitchen space, the aroma of food fills the air, and the temperature gradually rises.
"Captain Chu, here, wipe your sweat."
After sorting the vegetables, Bai Yu found a handkerchief and handed it over.
He had eaten fish porridge made by the other party before, but it had always been prepared and served. This was the first time he saw the other party in the kitchen.
The short light blonde hair was wet with sweat, and the skin was a little red due to the heat. The shiny sweat slid along the graceful jawline, and then slid down the neck to the collar, and some even fell on the collarbone. Combined with the chest rising and falling with breathing, there was a unique sexiness even in an apron.
The look in Bai Yufeng's eyes deepened.
Hiss, I want to bloom even more.
"Thank you, it is indeed a bit hot. You don't need to help with the rest. I can do it."
Chu Zehuai wiped the sweat off his face. The aroma of the food well covered up the faint rose scent on Bai Yu's body.
Without his knowledge, the faint scent of roses had already firmly surrounded him.
"Okay, I'll clean up outside then."
After Bai Yu pushed the vegetables he had prepared over, he turned around and left the kitchen and went straight into the bathroom.
The faucet was turned on, and the cold water rushed over the emerald green leaves, and the white flower buds hidden under the leaves were frozen.
Bai Yu raised his head and began to count the flower buds that had sprouted on his body in front of the mirror.
One, two, three... a total of twenty-four flower buds. The pure white small buds are hidden under the leaves, exuding a feeling of eager anticipation.
Bai Yu: .....He clearly remembered that he only counted fourteen in the morning.
After rinsing each flower bud with cold water, Bai Yu walked out of the bathroom. The aroma of food began to fill the whole room, and it was getting dark outside the window.
In the dim space, the lit mobile phone on the table is particularly conspicuous.
[Wuqimahei: My mom asked me to do housework at home. Sorry, Xiaobai, I can’t come. I’m very sorry (crying)]
[Yuan Xue: A distant relative of mine got married, and my parents took me there by force. I had no idea about it. I feel so guilty.jpg]
[Yan Ran: Ye Yu asked me to practice swordplay with him. It's rare that he has time to compete with me in swordplay. I can't go to your housewarming party. I'm extremely sorry for that.]
Bai Yu sat on the sofa holding his phone, staring at the three messages on the screen in a daze.
With a click, Chu Zehuai stepped into the living room and turned on the lights. He immediately saw Bai Yu huddled in the corner. "The meal is ready. What's wrong with your expression?"
Bai Yu pursed his lips: "All three of them said they were busy and couldn't come, and stood me up at the same time."
Chu Zehuai walked over and rubbed the other person's head: "That's really too much. It's okay. I'm still here with you. I can blackmail them as compensation when I go back. I'll use the bathroom to change clothes first, and I might use your toiletries."
Bai Yu nodded, his eyes never leaving the food on the table for a second, and said casually, "Okay."
When he saw Lin Mo's message, he was thinking about leaving some food for him and bringing it to him when he got to work. After all, it was an unexpected situation and it was understandable.
But when I saw that none of the three people came, I suddenly felt unhappy.
He decided that he would eat everything Chu Zehuai made and not leave a single sip of soup for the three.
Bai Yu put away his phone and carefully looked at the dozens of dishes on the table.
Three large bones and two chickens were boiled into a milky white broth, with the bones and well-cooked chicken floating in it, and dots of green floating on top.
The remaining pork shanks and chicken are diced, the fresh bamboo shoots are finely chopped, and the freshly caught shrimps are peeled and diced, and then all are wrapped together into crystal clear dumplings.
The tender abalone is cut into pieces and stir-fried with the scallop meat with the gills removed, then placed on the braised grouper. Cooked mantis shrimps, oysters, clams, and yellow crabs are neatly arranged around the grouper, forming a seafood feast plate.
Sweet and sour spare ribs, stir-fried bullfrog, kelp and shrimp pork ribs soup, stir-fried scallop meat and blue scallop meat, cuttlefish stew, deep-fried seafood mushrooms, green wakame...
Bai Yu's eyes lingered on the dozens of dishes. In the rich aroma, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "So many, this is the first time I've eaten such a sumptuous meal."
Even the Investigation Bureau’s New Year’s Eve dinner can’t compare to it.
After seeing this scene, the three who didn’t come will definitely regret it.
"Thank you for the compliment, I hope you like it."
The person who pushed open the door and walked out just happened to hear these words. After responding casually, he pulled out the chair opposite Bai Yu and sat down.
The kitchen fumes have been eliminated, and the apron and casual clothes have been replaced with a suit that looks quite expensive, probably hand-made and custom-made, which makes the other person look particularly slim and long-legged.
The sweat was washed away, replaced by water droplets on the cheeks and neck that were not wiped clean. The short golden hair was stained with water droplets and stood up, with occasional water droplets falling from the ends of the hair.
Bai Yu's homemade bath products left a faint rose scent on the other person's body, which lingered for a long time and gradually spread, blending with Bai Yu's own rose scent.
Bai Yu, who was sitting on the chair, looked at the person opposite him, then looked at the delicious food on the table. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva. For a moment, he didn't know which one was more delicious.
He had seen Chu Zehuai wearing the black uniform of the Investigation Bureau, the uniform of the Dongzhou regional executive, and casual wear on non-working days, but this was the first time he had seen him wearing such an abstinence-style suit.
It turns out that having top-quality ingredients washed and beautifully presented to your door doesn’t just exist in dreams.
Before I knew it, the scent of roses in the house became stronger.
Chu Zehuai, who had not yet sensed the danger, poured the highly concentrated liquor. He sighed that the fragrance of Bai Yu's toiletries lasted for a long time, and raised his glass:
"Xiaobai, I wish you a happy move to your new home."
"Thank you, Captain Chu."
Bai Yu clinked glasses with the other person, drank it in one gulp, and was about to pick up some food when, with a "click", the lights went out.
"Is this... a power outage? I clearly remember paying the electricity bill on time."
Bai Yu looked at the light he had turned off in confusion. Not giving up, he pressed the switch several more times and found that there was really no electricity in his house.
"When I came here, I saw workers outside the community. Maybe it was broken during maintenance. It's okay. I can go down and buy two candles."
The three of them really turned off the power in Bai Yu's house as planned.
Bai Yu blinked.
If the power was cut off due to construction, shouldn’t a notice be sent to the community group two days in advance? He didn’t see the relevant content.
But soon, this unimportant doubt was thrown behind him.
"How can I let you go down to buy some? I have some spare candles in my room that can be used."
Bai Yu looked at Chu Zehuai, and as he looked at him, he felt like he was starting to bloom again, so he decided to calm down while holding the candle.
"Candles, candles, yeah, found it."
Bai Yu walked into the bedroom and took out a box with the words "Chunfeng Teahouse" printed on it from the cupboard. He took out two bright red candles from it, calmed himself down, and returned to the restaurant to light them.
The faint light from the candle illuminated a small area, and in the dim and narrow space, the atmosphere inexplicably began to become ambiguous.
"Bai Yu, try this. It was just flown back from Linhai City this morning."
While Bai Yu went to get the candles, Chu Zehuai helped him peel a lot of mantis shrimps and crabs.
The shells of these things are hard and sharp, and if Bai Yu is not skilled, he might hurt his hands.
"Thank you, Captain Chu."
Bai Yu took the seafood meat and his fingers into his mouth. When he returned to his seat, he couldn't help but lick the other person's fingers.
It’s very sweet, not the sweetness of seafood, but the sweetness of top-quality ingredients.
The restlessness that had just been suppressed with great difficulty rose up again, and the idea of blooming began to circle in my mind again.
With his mind full of thoughts like "bloom! pollinate! sow seeds!", Bai Yu managed to stay awake and paid attention to the key point: "Is your finger injured?"
"I just got cut by a knife accidentally. It's not a big deal. I think it will heal on its own in a while."
Chu Zehuai coughed twice to cover up. It was mainly because he was thinking about what was going to happen next and was too excited, so he accidentally cut himself.
"Then I'll find you a Band-Aid."
Bai Yu savored the sweet taste he had just licked and said, before he could wait for the other party's response, he felt a vine uncontrollably protruding from behind him, and white flowers quietly bloomed.
No matter how restless it is, it cannot bloom out of control.
Bai Yu was stunned, Bai Yu was shocked, Bai Yu suddenly realized his current situation.
This is no longer the flowering stage, it is a precursor to the blooming stage.
How many years has it been since he last experienced the blooming period? It's only May.
The bright red candles burned quietly, and the scent of roses in the air became stronger and stronger.
On the other side, Chu Zehuai drank a glass of wine and felt a little dizzy.
He remembered what Yuan Xue had said, "Wait until Xiaobai gets a little tipsy, then you confess your feelings, your chances of success will be high," and he clinked glasses of high-concentration liquor with the other party.
After tasting the spicy taste, Chu Zehuai realized a serious problem.
Based on the alcohol tolerance Bai Yu showed at the New Year's Eve dinner, could he really get the other person tipsy?
Bai Yu didn't seem to be drunk yet, he was already starting to feel a little dizzy.
Consciousness began to blur, but the body became excited, blood flow quickened, heart beat faster, body temperature began to rise, inexplicable desires and impulses surged in the body.
This doesn't seem... like being drunk.
Chu Zehuai sensed something was wrong with his remaining consciousness, but that was all.
He has more important things to do.
"Bai Yu, look here."
"Um?"
Bai Yu is still trying hard to suppress her flower, but when a flower wants to bloom, it cannot be suppressed no matter what.
The flower bud trembled slightly, and at a certain moment it reached its peak. The sweet blood it had just absorbed became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Under the illumination of the candle flame, the rationality that had been suppressed with great effort finally collapsed at a certain moment.
"Bai Yu, I like you. Are you willing to be with me for the rest of my life - um -"
Before Chu Zehuai could finish his words, he was knocked to the ground by a black shadow that flew over from the other end of the dining table, and was pressed down on the soft carpet by Bai Yu.
With a "swish", the expensive white shirt was torn apart and thrown directly into the trash can in the living room. The exposed fair skin was now light pink and trembled unconsciously after coming into contact with the air.
"You smell so good."
Bai Yu pressed the man tightly onto the carpet and smelled the sweet scent of passion and blood on his body. The thought of flowering and pollination flooded his brain like a tide. With his action just now, dozens of roses behind him trembled slightly, and light pollen fell on the cheeks and chest of the man beside him.
The suppressed Chu Zehuai hadn't reacted yet. The alcohol made him dull. His golden-orange eyes reflected Bai Yu's confusion and a hint of amazement: "Bai Yu, there are so many flowers blooming behind you. They are so beautiful."
"What a nice view."
Bai Yu didn't pay any attention to the other person's words at all. He reached out and touched the other person's face covered with rose pollen, and said obsessedly.
He only knew that the blood of top-grade ingredients could arouse his appetite, but he didn't expect that the other party's casual manipulation at this moment could also arouse his desire.
Countless roses blossomed as he wished, surrounding the two of them tightly in the center.
The questions that I couldn't figure out in Linhai City at the beginning now have answers.
He wanted Chu Zehuai to stay by his side, hide him under his leaves, and then pollinate him, using him as soil for sowing.
Even though I know that even if I pollinate the other plant, it will not produce seeds, I just want to see it covered in pollen and bound by my petals and vines.
“Crash——”
The candles on the dining table went out, and the atmosphere became even more ambiguous and heated.
Bai Yu turned into a bunch of vines covered with roses, carefully wrapped around the person, and dragged him directly into his bedroom.
In the darkness, the scent of roses became stronger.
