Zhao Rui was a super miser. The fact that Yu Qinghuan became the brand ambassador under such circumstances reminded him of the 50 thousand yuan he had lost in the casino last time. He couldn’t help staring at Yu Qinghuan with all his jealousy.
Yu Qinghuan ignored his eye-attacking and concentrated on having his own meal. He even helped refill the plate of Huo Qu and Wang Ruirui. The move made Zhao Rui, who held a cup of wine opposite them, looked more miserable due to the sharp contrast.
However, Huo Qu could not stand the staring from Zhao Rui at his boyfriend.
In Professor Huo’s heart, his boyfriend was the shiniest diamond on the earth, who attracted numerous chasers, and he must always keep an eye on his lover.
Therefore, when Zhao Rui cast his eyes at Yu Qinghuan again, a bottle of unopened wine with box packing suddenly put in front of him. The ‘bang’ even shook the soup in his bowl.
Zhao Rui, “???”
What is Huo Qu doing?
“This stuff blocks my view!” Zhao Rui was confused, he stunned for a second and then reached out to remove it away, but his hand was pressed by Huo Qu.
He stared at Zhao Rui and said “Um” with his icy and sharp dark eyes.
Um? What does it mean? Does he intentionally block his view? But I haven’t offended him before!
He looked up to Yu Qinghuan wanting for an explanation, but only to find that Huo Qu stared at him in a sharper way.
Zhao Rui immediately understood Huo Qu was unpleased because…because he had stared at Yu Qinghuan for too long.
“I need to clarify that…” Zhao Qu raised both of his hands for declaring his righteousness, “I am into women, I always am.”
Huo Qu’s sharp staring remained.
“You are such a…” Zhao Rui complained impatiently. He glanced at Yu Qinghuan and found the man was smiling delightfully as if he was a total outsider. Zhao Rui couldn’t help but kick Yu Qinghuan from under the table and urged, “Hey, shouldn’t you tell Huo Qu how to treat others properly?”
Yu Xin is not gay! Why is Huo Qu even jealous of him? He is really nuts!
Yu Qinghuan raised his eyebrow, “What to tell? I think he behaves perfectly.”
Zhao Rui, “…”
The two were really a perfect match!
Zhao Rui swallowed a mouthful of wine, attempted to hold back his words many times, but finally quit. He asked Huo Qu, “You are jealous even when I was looking at Qinghuan. But he is an actor, who is always surrounded by so many people. Do you have that energy to be jealous of all these people?”
Huo Qu looked at him like he was staring at an idiot, “I wasn’t jealous, I was eating asparagus lettuce.”
Zhao Rui, “…”
Stubborn as Zhao Rui was, he nearly coughed a mouthful of blood by Huo Qu’s answer. He still would not give up, so after slightly adjusting his words, he asked Huo Qu, “I mean, if you can’t stand my staring at Qinghuan, what would you do when other people do the same thing to him?”
Huo Qu tried his best to analyze his long word strings, but… he still didn’t get what he was trying to say at all.
Pretending to ignore the glance from Yu Qinghuan, Zhao Rui stuck onto his topic, “Let’s say, for those women…Oh no, I mean, those men around Qinghuan, what kind of things they do may make you unhappy? What is OK? What challenges you most?”
This time, Huo Qu finally understood.
He thought for a while and replied sincerely, “I would tolerate nothing they do to him. Just leave my Qinghuan alone.”
Zhao Rui, “…”
Fine! Zhao Rui was totally defeated! Huo Qu’s jealousy was as large as the universe!
This dinner was a depressed feast for Zhao Rui. The two guys around him were exposing their affections like crazy, while he was a single dog who had to care for his own child – just like a widowed middle-aged misery man standing with his child in front of a young happy couple who were still having their honeymoon!
Depression drove him to alcohol, and he was totally wasted.
And it was too late when Yu Qinghuan finally found it.
Zhao Rui could not take a taxi alone. The Line of Life and Death was a big hit these days, and he might be recognized by others. He had to call Yu Xin, asking him to send Zhao Rui and Wang Ruirui home.
“Ge, wait a minute. I want to buy a milk pudding.”
There was a time-honored dessert shop in Zhao Rui’s neighborhood. Yu Qinghuan was immediately obsessed with the milk pudding on the menu. He jogged to the car and told Yu Xin his intention and then turned to Huo Qu, “Which flavor do you want?”
Huo Qu shook his head and replied, “I’m going with you.”
Yu Qinghuan stunned for a while, then smiled, “Sure.”
Yu Qinghuan was a die-hard fan for Durian, as for Huo Qu…he didn’t show any special preference yet. Yu Qinghuan thus decided to play a trick. He bought 2 pudding of Durian flavor for Huo Qu and himself and one in mango flavor for Yu Xin.
After paying the bill, he could hardly wait for one more second and stuffed a big spoonful into his mouth. The sweet satisfied him to close his eyes.
Durian was the tastiest fruit in the world!
Noticing that Huo Qu didn’t begin to eat his pudding, he asked him while walking, “Why don’t you eat it?”
Huo Qu’s eyelashes shivered a little, as well as his hands. The tiny white spoon in his hand then fell onto the ground.
“Hold on, I’m going to ask for another one for you.” Without any other thoughts, Yu Qinghuan picked up the fallen spoon and cast it into the dustbin, then turned around to the dessert bar. But he was stopped by Huo Qu.
“What’s wrong?”
Huo Qu pursed his lips, “We can share one.”
