Chapter 4
In the end, they went to a Chinese restaurant that had midnight snacks. Xie Zhiyao pulled Gu Chaocheng to a quiet seat and handed him the menu like presenting a treasure, "You order!"
Gu Chaocheng had no requirements for food, everything was based on the portion of meat and vegetables as the preferred standard. With a wave of his hand, he ordered seven to eight dishes.
Xie Zhiyao was dumbfounded, thinking about how this president was different from the ones on TV. Gu Chaocheng squinted at him, "Heartache over money?"
"No, no, I just think you can really eat, and all the ones you ordered are this restaurant's signature."
Xie Zhiyao's expression was very sincere. Gu Chaocheng reluctantly believed him.
After the dishes came one after another, Gu Chaocheng asked the boss for two bowls of rice, one for himself and one placed in front of Xie Zhiyao. He then picked up his chopsticks without saying a word.
Xie Zhiyao was stunned stiff again, and was suddenly in self-doubt; whose stomach was the one calling out just now?
But as he watched Gu Chaocheng eat, he thought that it was kind of weirdly cute. He was clearly in a suit and leather shoes, with an elite style, but the way he ate was like the little stray dog downstairs that Xie Zhiyao secretly took care of, without the airs of a rich person at all.
"Do you think I look stupid like this?"
"Hm?" Xie Zhiyao came back to his senses.
Gu Chaocheng put down his soup bowl and glanced at his watch, "You've been staring at me for ten minutes."
Xie Zhiyao blushed slightly, "No, I just feel very happy watching you eat, like watching an eating broadcast on the internet, it looks delicious just from watching."
"Why don't you eat then?"
Xie Zhiyao plucked his chopsticks and said in embarrassment, "I've been so hungry that I lost my appetite, and I'm going on a program tomorrow afternoon, so I don't dare to eat supper."
"How old are you?"
"Twenty one."
Gu Chaocheng ordered a bowl of pork-ribs porridge for him and scolded, "What beauty dysmorphia? You're not even fat, eat more."
Xie Zhiyao sat properly with his legs together, suddenly thinking about what Gu Chaocheng said. He organized his words and hesitated to speak, "Mr Gu, I'm telling the truth. I really think the way you eat is especially good, I don't mean to make fun of you."
"Oh, I don't care."
Xie Zhiyao panicked, "Don't misunderstand me! I can swear by poison."
"It's not a big deal," Gu Chaocheng pressed down the arm Xie Zhiyao was holding high, "I believe you, okay?"
Xie Zhiyao looked at Gu Chaocheng and asked cautiously, "Was there someone who said this about you before?"
Gu Chaocheng ate a piece of hot-chili boiled fish and replied, "A blind date."
Xie Zhiyao had a strong sense of substitution and immediately panted in outrage for the injustice on behalf of Gu Chaocheng, "That's because they don't understand! Eating is such a happy thing to do! Isn't the greatest respect for food to eat them all? If you eat until you're not even full, what's the meaning of this pompous ritual?"
Gu Chaocheng was stunned, and then said after a long time, "Mn, I think so too."
Xie Zhiyao smiled simple-mindedly.
After a while, the pork-ribs porridge was set on the table. Xie Zhiyao took a small bowl and filled it for Gu Chaocheng. Gu Chaocheng first made excuses and refused, but he still took it in the end and finished it in two to three mouths.
Xie Zhiyao bit his spoon and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
After eating, Xie Zhiyao went to settle the bill and came back with a few small plastic bags, "I want to pack some for the stray dog downstairs in my dormitory.'
Gu Chaocheng nodded and took the initiative to help him stretch out the plastic bag, waiting for Xie Zhiyao to find some meat from the soup like fishing for a needle in the sea.
Chapter 5
Xie Zhiyao also invited Gu Chaocheng to see the cats and dogs downstairs in his company's dormitory, but Gu Chaocheng rejected.
He felt that being alone with an omega for three hours was already his limit.
When he returned home, Gu Chaocheng took off his suit jacket and instinctively felt that Xie Zhiyao's scent remained on it. He suddenly felt vexed, subconsciously wanting to call Gu Chenbai to seek help, but as he glanced at the time showing one in the morning, he gave up.
Before going to bed, he thought of the image at Yu Feng road again. However, the person standing on the zebra crossing was no longer the fifteen year old Gu Chenbai, but the one who smiled with dimples and was always lively and skipping about, Xie Zhiyao.
That shouldn't be it. Gu Chaocheng closed his eyes and thought: Tomorrow morning, his life would resume its peace again.
But Xie Zhiyao wasn't as calm as he was. When Xie Zhiyao was on the way home, he was a little too excited. At this time, he held his little heart and climbed up one step at a time to his dormitory. When the manager came down from upstairs and saw his out-of-mind appearance, he asked, "Are you being a thief?"
Xie Zhiyao shook his head slowly, "No."
The manager was alarmed, "Did you go on a date?"
Xie Zhiyao's whole face flushed red as he hastily denied, "No, no, how could that be?"
The manager didn't believe it even more, "Quickly break up after the date, don't cause trouble for me."
Xie Zhiyao pondered over it seriously and wanted to refute, but he still nodded his head in surrender in front of the manager's sinister eyes. After the manager left, Xie Zhiyao's happy little flame was put out as he walked back to his dormitory in low spirits.
Wu Ke was still awake. He was still on a video call with the rich second-generation person he just met. When he saw Xie Zhiyao come in, he immediately turned his phone to face another direction, afraid that Xie Zhiyao would be caught on camera.
Xie Zhiyao thought about Gu Chaocheng before bed and couldn't help bending the corners of his mouth.
He thought that Gu Chaocheng was very cute. Although no one would agree with his point of view, and no one would even put the word "cute" on the 187cm tall and strong physique of Gu Chaocheng, Xie Zhiyao still thought he was cute. The way he ate was cute, the way he frowned was cute, everything was indeed cute, he was different from everyone else Xie Zhiyao had ever met.
Xie Zhiyao felt hotter the more he thought about it. He opened his blanket a little, but then instantly felt embarrassed and covered it back tightly. Within the soft heat occurring inside and out, he had a whole night of shameful dreams.
