In recent days, the temperature of the capital had become slightly warmer. The breeze blowing outside the apartment was no longer as cold as the previous month, containing a touch of spring warmth instead. The cityâs colourful neon lights were turned on, the sky was dyed a magnificent red and the Muse apartments were quiet, not even the insects were audible.
Once Ming Yu got onto the elevator, he slightly loosened the scarf around his neck and breathed. On the other side, Xi Ze pressed the button for Ming Yuâs floor and casually asked, âAre you afraid of the cold?â
He was referring to the fact that Ming Yu had a thick wool scarf around his neck, despite todayâs warm weather.
Ming Yu froze for a moment and shook his head. âIâm not afraid of the cold.â
Xi Ze sent Ming Yu a meaningful look and a smile flashed in his deep eyes, but he didnât ask anything more.
In fact, the reason for Ming Xiaoyuâs scarf was simple. Since receiving the âSmall Mushroomâ nickname, he had been feeling shame. Every day, Zhao Rui looked at him and muttered, âReally like a small mushroomâŚâ
How was this good?
Ming Yuâs face darkened as he thought about it and couldnât help pulling up the scarf again.
Once the two people entered the house, Xi Ze didnât act as an outsider, hanging up his coat on the clothes shelf together with Ming Yu. Ming XIaoyu didnât find anything strange about this behaviour, naturally acquiescing instead.
A few minutes ago, Ming Xiaoyu had figured out how to deal with this request to return the favour. The youth frowned and gave a very disappointed sigh. âXi Ze, I really want to cook you a big meal tonight. Unfortunately, I didnât buy ingredients today. How about I cook vegetable noodles tonight and invite you to eat dinner later?â
Xi Ze didnât show much reaction to the words. He just faintly smiled and asked, âThen when do you have time?â
A sly look flashed through the youthâs eyes and he signed with disappointment again, âOh, I have to do a reality show recording in a few days, so I really have no time. The reality show is going to be filmed abroad for a long time. After the reality show, I have other jobs.â The youth seemed to be deep in thought for a moment before saying with regret, âWhat a pity. I just figured that I can only formally invite you to eat after three or four months.â
In three or four months, what type of food couldnât he cook with his strength?
Ming Yuâs tone was really sad, enough to make listeners tearful. It seemed he really regretted not being able to make the dishes for Xi Ze tonight. But Ming Xiaoyu didnât know that his pained appearance caused Xi Zeâs lips to slightly curve and his noble face to soften.
Ming Xiaoyu was about to make the vegetable noodles when Xi Ze quietly said, âIt doesnât matter. I have the ingredients.â
Ming Yu reluctantly said, âThis is so regrettable. If I knew you were coming todayâŚâ
His voice abruptly stopped.
The youth slowly and stiffly raised his head, panic, shook, fear, wtf (âŚyes, really âwtfâ) appeared together on that handsome face. The expression was so vivid that Xi Ze couldnât help laughing, then he covered his mouth and coughed.
Ming Xiaoyu, ââŚâ
If you bought the ingredients, why did you ask me when I have time?!!!
Ming Xiaoyu might look like a petrified statue, but his heart was beating wildly. Xi Ze bought the ingredients? This must be true. Xi Ze had no reason to lie about it. Then it looked like todayâs âchance encounterâ was all fake!
This guy definitely planned this!!
Within three seconds, thousands of things ran through Ming Xiaoyuâs until he chose a suitable excuse. Ming Yu sighed heavily and said sadly, âI suddenly remembered. My gas stove is broken!â
Xi Ze, ââŚâ
After a moment, Xi Ze asked, âDid you use a gas stove last time? I remember it was an induction cooker.â
Ming Yu shook his head. âRecently, the induction cooker also broke.â

Xi Ze, ââŚâ
He saw the youthâs âDonât look at me like that. Everything I said it the truthâ expression and remained silent. After a while, Xi Ze reluctantly closed his eyes and said, âThen I will accept your bowl of noodles today.â
Ming Yu cried out with relief, âGood!â
Ming Xiaoyu turned to go to the kitchen and get started. Behind him, Xi Ze added a sentence, âDo you have mushrooms? I want to eat vegetable and mushroom noodles.â
