The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was quite awkward.
Yu Tang's toes were already digging into the soles of his shoes.
After a moment, Cheng Luo raised an eyebrow, turned around, and said to the two children in the living room, "Xiaoyu, Yanyan, you two watch TV for a while longer and have some snacks. I'll cook dinner later."
"OK!"
The bedroom door was closed, blocking out the children's responses.
Cheng Luo turned around and saw Yu Tang kneeling on the ground with his buttocks sticking out, using his fastest hands to pack the books into the cardboard box.
From his angle, you could see that Yu Tang's ears were completely red.
How shameful! How shameful!
Yu Tang, you're such a disgrace!
Yu Tang's mind raced with thoughts of what was happening on the screen. Finally, he shoved the box under the bed in one go. When he looked up, he saw Cheng Luo squatting in front of him with a smile, asking, "Tangtang, do you think I wouldn't know you were watching if you were being 'obsessed'?"
"Hahaha!" The system was practically spitting out laughter, its gloating expression perfectly conveyed.
Yu Tang said angrily: He's back! Why didn't you remind me?
"Host, this really isn't my fault!"
The system said: "[Because I got completely engrossed in it myself! And I especially thought that BL comic about a master and disciple—the character designs were practically carbon copies of the God and his lover. I couldn't help myself... and then I just didn't expect Cheng Luo to come back.]"
Yu Tang: Yeah, that comic is really good... good what?! Is this the time to talk about comics?!
Once she regained consciousness, Yu Tang looked at Cheng Luo with a tearful expression, and coughed awkwardly, "I accidentally knocked over the suitcase while cleaning the room. I was just cleaning it up, wasn't I?"
Then he changed the subject and interrogated Cheng Luo: "But you, when did you get so many comics again?"
Seeing so much censored content every day, aren't you afraid of getting kidney problems?
Seeing Yu Tang's flustered and incoherent words, Cheng Luo suppressed a laugh: "Don't you know best whether my kidneys are weak or not?"
You can drive on this shabby little road!
Yu Tang's face turned even redder with anger.
"I don't care if you're weak or not, I'm done cleaning up and I'm hungry."
He stood up, his back to Cheng Luo, and said as he walked out, "If you're not going to cook, I'll go cook."
"You should get rid of the comics as soon as possible. If you leave so many in the room every day, it's not good if the kids find them."
Just as the door was opened and she was about to escape this awkward Barbie dream mansion, bang!
Cheng Luo slammed him against the door, trapping him between her arms and the door.
The system excitedly exclaimed: "Oh! It's starting! It's starting!"
Yu Tang: Shut up!
"Master..." I suddenly heard this address.
Yu Tang was stunned.
Cheng Luo leaned down slightly, close to the man's ear, and sighed softly, "I love you..."
After saying that, she opened the door for him, her voice tinged with laughter: "These are lines from the book you were just reading. If you haven't read it, then never mind."
He took Yu Tang's hand: "Let's go to the living room."
Yu Tang was led by him in a daze until a white cauliflower was placed in her hand, at which point she realized what was happening.
"Please help me with this."
Cheng Luo was washing rice over there, and his attitude didn't change.
Yu Tang recalled that Cheng Luo had actually been very restrained and hadn't laid a hand on him since he made the request that day.
They are incredibly well-behaved.
The atmosphere was so ambiguous just now, he thought Cheng Luo would do something wrong again.
But nothing came of it.
Wait a minute! Is he expecting something to happen?
Ptooey!
Quickly dismissing the thought, Yu Tang began to carefully break up the cauliflower, filling the entire bowl. Meanwhile, Cheng Luo over there had already started processing meat slices.
His profile was handsome, and the warm light in the kitchen gave him a serene and peaceful beauty.
He couldn't help but ask Cheng Luo, "Why are you making so many comics?"
Cheng Luo didn't hide anything and said directly, "I want to study."
"What are you going to learn?" Yu Tang blurted out, "Isn't 'Nightly Pleasure' enough for you to learn?"
Cheng Luo's hand trembled, and he cut his hand.
He stared at Yu Tang in astonishment.
Yu Tang then realized what he had said.
His lips twitched, and he quickly changed the subject, taking Cheng Luo's hand: "How could you be so careless and cut your hand? Let me..."
Before he could finish speaking, the wound on Cheng Luo's hand healed on its own.
Goodness, this is no ordinary embarrassment.
What was supposed to be a heartwarming scene, like a scene from an idol drama where the male and female leads are cooking in the kitchen and the male lead cuts his hand, while the female lead gently cares for him, is instantly ruined.
Staring at Cheng Luo's fingers, which had recovered completely, Yu Tang chuckled twice: "Looks like we don't need band-aids anymore, that's great, that's great."
He said, "Let's continue our previous topic. What do you want to learn?"
Cheng Luo snapped out of her daze, her heart filled with an immense sense of unease.
He was thinking that Yu Tang had finally been nice to him, so he could play the victim, but his constitution just wouldn't cooperate.
This made things so awkward for both of them.
“I want to learn how to date.” He replied, “You’ve seen it too, those books have a hundred things to know about dating. They were given to me by those older women. They said that liking someone requires respecting them, but you also need to master the skills.”
"So I thought that if I watched more, I would get the hang of it..."
At this point, he added, "And later when I got it, I found one book that really resonated with me."
He looked up at Yu Tang, puzzled, and said, "It's that fantasy master-disciple comic. When I read it, I couldn't help but imagine you and me in it. I don't know why..."
Yesterday I explained why there are ten worlds: it's because the main god's soul is sliced into three souls and seven spirits!
Chapter 27
Died for the villain for the third time (27)
Yu Tang was somewhat lost in thought as he listened to Cheng Luo's words.
Could it be that Cheng Luo also has the same dream as him?
Is it really such a coincidence?
“However, I don’t like the ending in the book.” Cheng Luo washed the blood off his hands and continued cutting meat, his eyes lowered. “Master shouldn’t have died. He didn’t need to die to save his disciple.”
"Because he didn't consider that with such an outcome, how could the disciple he saved possibly survive?"
“I don’t want to…” Cheng Luo’s eyes reddened slightly. He turned to look at Yu Tang: “Tangtang, I don’t want you to become that master, and I don’t want their ending either.”
He said, "I think we can definitely spend our lives together."
Yu Tang knew that Cheng Luo was only deceiving himself. After all, Cheng Luo's constitution was that of immortality.
Even Chen Zhi felt that the explosive could only restrain Cheng Luo's movements at most; killing Cheng Luo would be extremely difficult.
And he was destined to leave.
Just as the book's ending predicted, he, as the "Master," would eventually die.
"I just remembered the clothes on the balcony haven't been brought in yet." Yu Tang changed the subject, turned and walked outside: "I'll go get the clothes first, you can handle this."
The kitchen door closed, and Cheng Luo's eyes dimmed.
In a daze, the knife cut his hand again. Just as the wound was about to heal, Cheng Luo suddenly picked up the blade and cut his hand even deeper.
The blood quickly stained the cutting board red.
But it healed again in less than a minute.
Cheng Luo snapped out of her daze and gave a wry smile.
What is he doing now?
Do you want to be a normal person?
He's clearly a monster, why is he pretending?
After discarding the meat slices, Cheng Luo washed the board clean, stir-fried three plates of vegetables and made a bowl of soup before the rice was cooked, and then called the children to serve the dishes.
During meals, he would serve food to Yu Tang with a smile, showing no sign of frustration.
Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cheng Luo and Yu Tang changed out of the work clothes issued by the base, put on casual clothes, packed their things, put on special goggles to cover their eyes, and boarded the bus with the people going out to carry out the mission.
When sight is lost, other senses are amplified.
Yu Tang's hand was held by Cheng Luo, and the two sat side by side in their seats.
The young man's fingers maliciously scraped his palm.
"Tsk..." Yu Tang tried to pull his hand back in disgust, lowering his voice, "We're outside! Can't you behave yourself?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Cheng Luo lean in and breathe into his ear, saying in a coquettish tone, "Tangtang, we're going out to play soon, I'm so happy!"
Yu Tang's ears were itchy so badly that she hid by the window.
The eyes cannot see anything, but can only sense the heat source approaching.
With her back pressed against the car window, before Yu Tang could push Cheng Luo away, the young man kissed her on the forehead.
The kiss slid down until it landed on his lips.
