Crushing on Senior Feng! (2)

Jinxing told Xiaojun about their romantic encounter in high school. His eyes were sparkling, and he didn't stop giggling, "At that moment, I was so awed by your coolness, Xiao-Ge! I didn't know someone as cool as you would read a philosophy book like me!"

'… Should I tell him the book I read back then was about gay romance? I mean, I don't remember reading any philosophy book, just lots of BL manga, gay romance, and magical girls?'

Xiaojun was silent, but he kept listening to Jinxing's story.

***

After that fateful day, Jinxing wanted to talk to Senior Feng more. But Senior Feng was very busy and also extremely popular. Jinxing couldn't get close to Senior Feng, knowing how rabid his fans were. 

Days passed until one year of Jinxing acted like a stalker, silently gazing at the famous Senior Feng from afar. Each day, he could see how Senior Feng helped many people. Whether it was a man or woman, he would help them.

So Jinxing could only sigh while staring at the gorgeous Senior Feng.

Until Valentine came, and Senior Feng got tons of chocolate that should be enough to feed his entire class for two days straight.

Jinxing also had his chocolate. He bought it two days ago when he flew to Belgium with a private jet to buy the chocolate for Senior Feng.

He was a bit disheartened looking at the amount of chocolate and gifts that Senior Feng got, but in the end, he braced himself and approached Senior Feng, who was washing his face after a physical education class. 

"S—Senior Feng…" 

Xiaojun wiped his face with his shirt and then looked at the scrawny boy in front of him, "Ah… you are… Xiang, right? What's up?"

Jinxing's heart was beating faster when Senior Feng remembered his name. He blushed involuntarily and lowered his head, "T—That… um… this is valentine day and um… I want to give you these…"

Jinxing slowly handed a box of expensive-looking chocolate and another box of… beef stew.

Xiaojun frowned, "This is for me? Also, the beef stew?"

"Y—Yes, I cooked it myself. I believe it will suit your taste, Senior Feng…" Jinxing answered.

"Alright then, thank you," Xiaojun accepted the gift. Before he could say anything, Jinxing ran away embarrassedly like a shoujo protagonist. 

"Hm…" honestly, Xiaojun was not interested in the chocolate. He got a lot of chocolate enough to become Willy Wonka. But he was interested in the beef stew.

Xiaojun opened the lid and used the chopstick to taste the beef stew. It was mind-blowingly amazing that he couldn't even describe the taste, "Holy crap! This is amazing!" 

Xiaojun was impressed and ate the whole stew. As someone who rarely ate home cooking, this beef stew melt in his mouth. He wanted to thank Jinxing, but he was already gone, and he didn't know his class as well, "Ah, well, I think I should wait until the white day to thank him for such nice stew."

On the white day, Jinxing saw Senior Feng didn't seem to any gift for the girls that gifted him chocolate during valentine. It was both a relief and grief for Jinxing.

He was secretly happy that Senior Feng didn't seem to like anyone, but he was also sad because Senior Feng didn't seem to put him in his eyes. 

Until he saw Senior Feng under the same lush tree, he sat on the bench with a small box of white chocolate and a lucky charm. 

'Is he waiting for someone here?' Jinxing thought. He doubted Senior Feng was waiting for him. 

Senior Feng waited for more than an hour until he fell asleep on the bench. Jinxing started cursing the girl who let Senior Feng waited for more than one hour, 'What an ungrateful girl! Letting Senior Feng wait for so long!'

Jinxing felt that his heart was hurting for Senior Feng, so he approached Senior Feng to wake him up, "S—Senior Feng…"

Jinxing shook Senior Feng's shoulder few times until Feng Xiaojun woke up.

He rubbed his eyes and saw the person he had been waiting for for more than an hour, "Ah, Xiang, where have you been? I have been waiting there for more than an hour."

Ba-dump!

Jinxing's heart beat faster when Senior Feng said that "S—Senior Feng is waiting for me?" 

Xiaojun nodded, "Of course." Xiaojun handed the box of white chocolate and a lucky charm shaped like a star, "I love your beef stew. It is a fantastic lunch for me. Thank you so much."

Ba-dump! Ba-dump! Ba-dump! Ba-dump!

Jinxing almost fainted out of excitement and embarrassment. But in the end, he accepted it and said, "T—Thank you… Senior Feng."

Xiaojun rubbed Jinxing's head and said, "Well, I have to go now. I need to study a lot for Gaokao."

Xiaojun got up from the bench and left Jinxing. 

Jinxing stared at the bench and quietly sat on the place where Senior Feng sat before. It was still warm with the trace of Senior Feng's light sandalwood perfume. It made Jinxing feel that he was sitting on Senior Feng's lap.

"Out of everyone, Senior Feng decided to give someone like me his white chocolate…"

Jinxing opened the box and ate the white chocolate while imagining Senior Feng feeding him the chocolate. He blushed again. He finally realized that Senior Feng was indeed his first love…

Jinxing usually hated sweet chocolate, but he could eat the entire sweet chocolate and still crave more from this box.

Ah… I want more…'
