The two bowls of noodles were very simple. The clear broth contains a few vegetables, green onions and a little cilantro. It was not a large serving and one could finish eating in a few bites.
However, the two people ate very slowly. It was as if they were counting the number of noodle strands as they ate.
Oh, probably because the noodles tasted so delicious…
The noodles were really scrumptious. Fu Ran seemed to be immersed in this bowl of noodles. He picked up a strand of noodle with his chopsticks and carefully tasted it. Then, he picked up a vegetable with his chopsticks and carefully savoured it again. He also sampled the green onions stuck on his chopsticks. Cilantro… Cilantro… Mm. He ate and ate it again.
It was as if something was aroused. Fu Ran suddenly quickened his speed and finished eating the vegetables and noodles in a few bites. He even finished the soup. Very quickly, the bowl was as clean as if it was not used before.
Yun Shu’s eyes widened in astonishment. When Fu Ran noticed her expression, he suddenly wore a faint smile and said, “The noodles are very delicious.”
Yun Shu was pleased that Fu Ran was willing to give her face. <sup>[1]</sup> Her widened eyes turned into a crescent moon. “Thank you for the compliment.”
Fu Ran’s pupils shrank slightly. He slightly turned his head to the side. “… En.”
With this back and forth interaction, the awkwardness between the two due to unfamiliarity disappeared.
……
When Yun Shu finished eating, Fu Ran voluntarily offered to wash the dishes. How could Yun Shu dare to let him wash the dishes? However, her sugar daddy was very adamant. He felt that since he did nothing while the noodles were cooked, he should be washing the plates. Left with no choice, Yun Shu agreed.
But she was a little worried about her bowls… Oh, no, it was her sugar daddy’s hands. She slavishly followed Fu Ran.
But surprisingly, Fu Ran was not unfamiliar with washing the dishes. It was as if he had done the same many times.
Seemingly knowing Yun Shu’s surprise, Fu Ran proactively explained, “When I studied abroad, I worked in a restaurant and washed dishes. ”
Fu Ran said it in a very light-hearted tone. It was like a rich boy went to experience life on a whim. But in fact, that time was the most challenging time for him. Because he had a falling out with his family after he had the idea of being independent. This caused them to cut off all his economic sources. Moreover, young and high-minded Fu Ran once almost starved to death in a foreign country. Finally, for the sake of survival, he gave up his pride and worked… However, this, instead, trained him, bringing about his current achievements.
But he would not tell Yun Shu much about this. He had to maintain a perfect image in front of Yun Shu!
Mm. Yes, that’s how he’s going to do it!
Yun Shu was now at ease. She did not need to worry about her bowls… Oh, no. Her sugar daddy’s hands.
Just when she let out a sigh, she heard her sugar daddy asking, “Do you like cooking very much?”
Yun Shu replied, “It’s not that I’m fond of it. I will just cook when I’m home. But I’m particularly fond of making desserts.”
Fu Ran put the washed bowls into the cupboard one by one and said, “That’s good. I wonder if I will have the chance to taste the product you make next time?”
Yun Shu arched her eyebrows. “Of course, what do you like to eat? I’ll see if I know how to make it.”
Fu Ran casually listed a few things. It just so happens that Yun Shu knew how to make all of them. Hence, the next tasting date was set.
“Then we have come to an agreement.”
“Mm. We have come to an agreement. Do you want to pinky swear?”
Yun Shu acted playfully by habit. Before she could even react, her face turned slightly red.
Fu Ran’s lips slightly raised. He held out his little thumb. “Come, let’s pinky swear.”
Yun Shu froze, and then a shy little thumb locked that thumb.
Pinky swear, to never change even in a hundred years! <sup>[2]</sup>
……
Without sparing a thought, Yun Shu offered, “It is so late. Why don’t you stay here and rest for the night?”
Fu Ran’s ears secretly reddened and responded, “… Alright.”
And so, both of them faced the next problem that made them awkward all over again—
Where is Fu Ran going to sleep when there is only one bedroom furnished in Yun Shu’s apartment?
<sup>[1]</sup> 面子(miàn zi)- Face. It would refer to dignity as well.
<sup>[2]</sup> It means swearing to keep your promises. When saying this, both individuals would lock their pinkies to signify that a promise has been made.
