She sat there in a daze as she stared at the computer screen. The kitchen door opened and Jian Chi walked out carrying a plate of braised pork ribs.
When the aromatic scent entered her nose, Lu Wei Xi returned to reality.
She turned around and saw that person indifferently walk out. The heat from the dish shrouded his body.
Lu Wei Xi stared at him for a long time and whispered out, “Jian Chi, my game ID is Eastern Attempt.”
He only put the porcelain plate down on the table and went back to bring out the other plate as he answered without much thought to it, “It really was you.”
Lu Wei Xi let out a laugh at Jian Chi’s response. Suddenly, she felt that this does not matter because, at this moment, he belongs to her.
When she got up to put the laptop back on the desk and came back, the table is already covered with three dishes and a soup.
She looks at him and teasingly asked, “Speak, did you already like me since then?”
Jian Chi put the chopsticks in her hand and bluntly replied, “Eat.”
After picking up the chopsticks Lu Wei Xi buried herself into the bowl of rice. In the end, she couldn’t help but sneakily look up at him. Now that she thinks about it…..just then, Jian Chi couldn’t have possibly been shy right?
However, when she took a bite of the first rib, all thoughts left her head.
That’s because it is so delicious that she couldn’t help but smile from ear to ear.
Although she shouldn’t be saying this, honestly it is better than her parents.
“Jian Chi, where do you learn these heavenly cooking skills?” She stuffed a piece of oven grilled fish into her mouth.
The other party seemed to be interested in how he cooked them, “From recipe books.”
Lu Wei Xi could only surrender.
After the meal, Lu Wei Xi was in a good mood after eating her fill and decided to help out by washing the dishes. Jian Chi didn’t raise any objection and simply leaned against the kitchen door. At this moment, his usually dark and indifferent eyes are filled with a pool of gentle warmth.
If it is like this every day, how great would that be?
If he wakes up every day to the sight of her sleeping next to him, how great would that be?
He thought that he could patiently accompany her step by step as they explore their relationship, but now it seems that he has overestimated his self-control.
After Lu Wei Xi is done with the chore, she took the initiative to cut the watermelon which she took out of the refrigerator and put it in a fruit bowl. Her reason is that she is afraid that it will go bad that in actuality, she just wants to eat it.
Of course, Jian Chi wouldn’t expose her. In a good mood, she sat on the sofa eating and ranting to him.
“In any case, as I said, Professor Yang gives us a crazy and ridiculous amount of homework. Also, we have to have group discussions. Every time I go out with my classmates it is all to do his work. It’s very troublesome.”
She took the last bite of the cold sweet watermelon as she complained to him.”
Jian Chi sat on the opposite side of the sofa and looked at her. “So the first time I saw you at Starbucks, you were working on a group project with your classmates?”
Lu Wei Xi who was spitting out the watermelon seeds stopped her action, after that she would choke, “Then you already noticed me since then?”
…..From the very beginning, she had thought that she was the only one to sneakily took a peek at him.
“Wei Xi, I don’t like you hanging out with that male student.”
Lu Wei Xi never expected him to say this and didn’t know what to do. She incredulously asked, “Are you jealous?”
He simply replied, “Yes.”
“You’re my girlfriend. I naturally hope that besides me, you won’t get close to anyone of the opposite sex.”
“Uh…..apar-, apart from you, I’m not really close to anyone of the opposite sex.” Her heartbeat began to quicken due to his body temperature getting closer to her. Sadly, Lu Wei Xi discovered that she has no resistance to this person.
“Really?” He whispered. He stared intently at her chin and hoarsely said, “There is watermelon juice here.”
Then–––without any warning, he lowered his head.
This time it is a sweet and gentle kiss. He captured her lips with his and carefully wiped away the watermelon juice on her lips and swallowed.
It was like a fever. She allowed him to circle her into his arms as she helplessly looked up to accept his kiss.
After a long time, he finally let go of her with satisfaction.
“Wei Xi, have you heard this verse before?”
“....What verse?” Lu Wei Xi hasn’t fully come to as she leaned into his arms and replied in a daze.
Jian Chi looked down at her. His sparkling eyes are filled with her reflection, soft and lovingly.
He slowly opened his lips. The next words that came out of his mouth sound like it could’ve come out of a drama. His voice could make anyone go crazy, “I want to waste time with you. For instance, lowering our heads to watch the fish. Or leaving the teacup on the tabletop and walking away, wasting their good-looking shadow. I would also like to waste the sunset together, going on a walk, always spending our time bathed in the starlight.”
He strokes her head. His eyes shone beautifully reflecting the starlight of the whole world. “I want to waste away time with you. Together wasting away this short and meaningless silence. Spending this exquisite yet old universe together.”
