Lu Xiangzhuang quietly waited for Mu Beiyao to finish speaking.
Then he slowly began, "Love comes unexpectedly. When it arrives, no one thinks too much about it. Observers only witness the beginning and the end; they never truly experience the feelings involved. The start between you and me belongs solely to us, and only we can understand it. Yet I believe we won't easily reach what you call an ending! I want to walk with you to the end of our lives together!"
"What if, after being with you, I no longer feel that spark?" Mu Beiyao thought he was being quite honest.
Lu Xiangzhuang smiled instead. "Since you're so honest, why not tell me when you realize there's no spark? I will strive to become what you desire! I've never been in love before, but now that I am, I want it to last a lifetime!"
Mu Beiyao saw the determination in Lu Xiangzhuang's eyes, along with a deep, unwavering affection. At that moment, Mu Beiyao believed in the power of love! He rarely showed such a delicate smile, resembling a shy girl.
Silently, he leaned into Lu Xiangzhuang's embrace, savoring the warmth of the moment. However, the air conditioning in the room was quite effective, and Lu Xiangzhuang was wearing a wool coat and sweater, which made him feel a bit hot.
"Mu Beiyao? Aren't you hungry? Should I start cooking?" Lu Xiangzhuang gently patted his shoulder as a reminder.
Only then did Mu Beiyao pull away from his embrace. He watched as Lu Xiangzhuang took off his coat. The sweater underneath was indeed eye-catching but also quite revealing.
"How can you cook dressed like that? You’re not expecting me to do it, are you? I can't!" Mu Beiyao realized for the first time how lacking he was in this regard.
Lu Xiangzhuang's lips curled into a smile. "Of course I'll cook! I've been living independently for quite some time now. When I studied abroad, I cooked all my meals myself!"
Mu Beiyao smiled in satisfaction. "Then wait for me a moment!"
After saying that, Mu Beiyao dashed up the stairs. Before long, he returned with an oversized shirt in hand.
"Here, wear this! Otherwise, your sweater will be ruined! Because I want to eat spicy hot pot!" Mu Beiyao was very practical.
Seeing the ingredients he brought back, Lu Xiangzhuang knew they had enough for a delicious meal. Of course, they would indulge in something they both enjoyed!
Lu Xiangzhuang's expression was quite rich: in all his life, he had never worn a woman's clothing. However, he wondered if wearing the clothes that once clung to his woman would feel different.
Mu Beiyao had simply taken a particularly oversized shirt, rolled up the sleeves, and wore it in pursuit of a fashionable look. As it turned out, this one piece of clothing, which could probably fit his tall frame, prompted Mu Beiyao to reach out to reclaim it.
With a firm tug, Lu Xiangzhuang not only secured the shirt but also pulled Mu Beiyao into his embrace!
"Do you mind if I change right in front of you?" Lu Xiangzhuang asked with a gentlemanly demeanor, though his approach was undeniably direct.
"Uh, you do as you please! I’ll just wash some fruit!" Mu Beiyao stammered and fled!
In the side kitchen, Mu Beiyao swore he had not intended to see someone with six-pack abs.
"Oh no, am I a pervert?" Mu Beiyao questioned himself! Did someone hear that?
"You can look at me as much as you want! My girlfriend!" Lu Xiangzhuang exclaimed, practically beaming with joy!
"May I ask, why do you work out every day? The answer must be to make yourself pleasing to your beloved woman!" At that moment, Lu Xiangzhuang felt an overwhelming sense of pride!
"Hey, hurry up and cook! It's already midnight; when will we eat?" After asking this, Mu Beiyao clumsily carried a plate of cherry tomatoes out!
Mu Beiyao sat on the living room sofa, lost in thought for an unknown amount of time. Then he realized that Lu Xiangzhuang seemed like he was visiting for the first time!
Did he just leave him in the kitchen without any help?
Mu Beiyao mentally reassured himself: "I'm here to take care of my guest! I can't let him cook alone without helping!"
Finally, he dragged his feet into the kitchen.
Lu Xiangzhuang washed the vegetables first and then began chopping them, focusing on the basics. He needed to calm down and didn't call out to that shy little woman from earlier.
Mu Beiyao silently watched his back; the oversized shirt looked surprisingly fitting on him!
And it had its own unique charm! The iron-gray thick shirt made Mu Beiyao wonder if he should buy another one for a couple's outfit.
Could it be that my back view is also appreciated by my girlfriend? Lu Xiangzhuang teased.
As Mu Beiyao relaxed a bit more under Lu Xiangzhuang's repeated calls of "my girlfriend," he approached him while muttering, "Is there something wrong with your back? Do you have eyes there?"
If my girlfriend hadn't had such a hard time getting here, and if you hadn't been dragging your slippers on the floor non-stop, I wouldn't have felt like I had eyes on my back!
Lu Xiangzhuang was referring to Mu Beiyao, reminding him that it was indeed difficult for him to ignore her presence. After arriving, he stood at the door, peeking in but not entering, and the more he thought about it, the more amusing it became.
Watching the proud big sister blushing because of him tonight, how could Lu Xiangzhuang not feel a sense of satisfaction?! This kind of life instantly filled the emptiness and monotony he had been experiencing!
Tonight was a late-night snack, so there was no worry about breakfast. Lu Xiangzhuang realized that he definitely had a masochistic tendency! Usually at home, he had long since adopted the lifestyle of a gentleman who kept his distance from the kitchen! Yet in front of Mu Beiyao, all the hard work and long waits seemed so trivial.
"Can you really cook?" Mu Beiyao looked at him with genuine curiosity; his knife skills seemed quite impressive! Just watching him made her feel hungry!
"Otherwise? Mu Zong can't dismiss me as your boyfriend just because you find my late-night snack unsatisfactory!"
"Hmm? That’s quite possible! After all, I need to choose someone who will cook for me for a lifetime," Mu Beiyao said playfully.
Lu Xiangzhuang only focused on those three words: a lifetime.
"Then let me be your exclusive chef for life!" Suddenly turning around, Lu Xiangzhuang embraced Mu Beiyao and showered her with kisses.
"Whoa! If you don't hurry up and cook, it'll be morning!" Mu Beiyao covered her slightly swollen lips, feeling that her heart was racing tonight at a speed equivalent to two days’ worth.
The allure of handsome men! Life was getting chaotic!
Mu Beiyao had slept all afternoon and part of the night. After enjoying a delicious late-night snack made with love, she completely lost the desire to sleep.
"Lu Zong, don't you have to go to work tomorrow? Or...?" Mu Beiyao hinted clearly; dinner was ready, so it was time to leave, right?
Lu Xiangzhuang merely responded with a casual "Hmm?"
"I don’t have a place for you to sleep here. It wouldn’t be appropriate for you to stay," Mu Beiyao's voice was soft but clear enough for Lu Xiangzhuang to hear.
Even if Lu Xiangzhuang was full of youthful vigor, he knew he couldn't indulge himself too much! There were still moral boundaries! Tonight, he indeed had no intention of leaving.
