Ch 16

Although they had come for lunch, it was still early. So, they first visited the clothes stores along the pedestrian street. Only when it was almost 11 o’clock did they start looking for a place to eat. Cai Youyang kept picking at faults and couldn’t choose a restaurant to eat, so he went back to Lu Feng and asked him to decide.

Lu Feng asked, “Congee?”

Cai Youyang shook his head. “Too mild-tasting.”

“Barbeque?”

“Too oily.”

“Stone pot rice bowl.”

Cai Youyang punched his palm with his other hand. “That’s not bad.”

But just as they were about to head to Shi Guo Fan, Lu Feng grabbed him, turned around, and dragged him toward Yuezi Bay together.

Cai Youyang didn’t want to, but Lu Feng whispered in his ear, “I forgot until just now. With your current state, it’s better for you to eat congee.”

Cai Youyang burst into a rage. “I have to eat meat today. Let me go.”

“We can order congee with meat and also some dim sum. It’ll be the same.”

“But I want to eat.” Cai Youyang thought about dim sum and didn’t oppose the idea. But he had just conjured the taste of stone pot rice in his mind already. He wasn’t quite willing to give that up.

Lu Feng lowered his gaze. “Can’t do anything about that.”

Cai Youyang secretly rejoiced and thought, what “can’t do anything.” Captain Lu was too good at spoiling people, hahaha…

Then Lu Feng said, “Let’s eat at home then. I’ll also be able to rub medicine on you.”

Cai Youyang: “???”

“What?” questioned Lu Feng.

Seeing that he was serious with his words, Cai Youyang could only contain his reluctance and compromise. “Actually, Yuezi Bay is very good. Let’s just eat there.”

Lu Feng nodded.

Next Saturday, when Cai Youyang agreed to unwind with Yan Zhi, he complained about this matter to Yan Zhi.

With a face filled with envy, Yan Zhi said, “So Captain Lu can cook.” He jabbed Cai Youyang’s shoulder. “You’re so lucky, but you don’t even know it.”

Cai Youyang purposefully wore a calm expression. “I’ve already grown tired of eating his cooking for a long time, okay?”

Yan Zhi cupped his cheeks. “I want to eat Du Wan’s cooking too.”

Cai Youyang thought, what was the use of a good-natured university professor? They couldn’t cook hahaha…

He fought hard to press down the corners of his lips that were threatening to curl up before insincerely consoling Yan Zhi. Not knowing how to cook wasn’t a problem. He could just learn step by step…

Yan Zhi shook his head in despair. “He tried.” And almost burned down the kitchen!

Yan Zhi felt that this conversation wasn’t very friendly toward his boyfriend, so he resourcefully changed topics. “I heard Du Wan say that he’ll be officially employed by the Public Security Bureau as a consultant.”

Cai Youyang asked, “He doesn’t need to teach?”

“He said he didn’t have many classes.”

“He’ll still have to handle two jobs at once,” refuted Cai Youyang. “He’s not afraid of the trouble?”

Yan Zhi simply smiled and didn’t speak.

All of a sudden, Cai Youyang had an epiphany. “Oh right. With you here, he doesn’t need to be afraid of any trouble.”

With as much seriousness as he could muster, Yan Zhi explained, “The main reason is that he likes doing fieldwork. It has nothing to do with me.” But afterward, his face flushed red. He clearly wasn’t telling the truth.

Cai Youyang stared at his bashful appearance. The little schemes in his heart disappeared, and he couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

When the two exchanged glances and saw each other giggling, they simultaneously scratched their heads and laughed even more foolishly.

At the Public Security Bureau.

After Du Wan handed over the data, his nose suddenly felt a little itchy. He hurried to the corner, covered his mouth, and sneezed.

Should go exercise tomorrow, he thought. For the sake of Yan Zhi’s blessed life, he should do his best to become stronger.
