Xingling quickly ran over to the driver’s side to open the door for Li Dong. His smile was as sweet as three pounds of sugar.

"What floor do you live on?" Li Dong asked. He found that despite this being a smaller neighborhood, the apartments still had elevators: "How much is the rent?" As a frugal citizen, he was very meticulous about these things.

"The seventh floor. 2500 yuan a month for one bedroom and one living room, one bathroom and one kitchen. It’s too expensive for an apartment that isn't of great quality." Xu Xingling held Li Dong's hand as he blabbered on. "I’ll be going house shopping again once I get paid next month. I want to live in the city center.”

That way, he would be able to spend more time with Second Young Master.

Li Dong was panicked. Xu Xingling would have more time to cling to him that way, right? If you are not reading from readerfeedertranslation.blogspot.com, this work was stolen.

"Where do you live, Second Young Master?"

"We’re here." Li Dong pointed to Xingling’s door.

Xu Xingling no choice but to remove one of his arms from Li Dong to open the door. His free arm remained wrapped around Li Dong’s.

Xingling actually had trouble finding his house key and had to switch keys several times to find the right one...

"That- Well- I’ve only lived here for a little more than two months. I’m still not too familiar with the place.” Xu Xingling tried to explain his clumsiness..

However, Li Dong was still confused after this explanation… Xingling’s lived here for two months and still can’t remember the key? From this unreliable display, Li Dong thought that Xingling would open his door to reveal an incredibly messy interior.

But no, the small apartment was very clean and tidy; it was evident that Xingling was someone who really pays attention to his living environment.

"This is pretty nice.” It was a small space, but it was complete with all the necessary furniture and appliances.

However, as Li Dong sat down on the sofa, he realized that just his frame took up the entire cushion, leaving no space whatsoever.

He didn’t think about how he was already a little over five foot ten, while Xingling was at most only five seven and also really thin and slim.

"Second Young Master, do you want some tea?" Xu Xingling puts his things down and shuffled over to Li Dong, slightly sheepish. "I don't have coffee here... only tea and cold beer, but you shouldn't drink beer..."

"Tea is fine." It wasn’t that Li Dong didn’t drink beer, but he still had to drive later.

"Okay." Xingling replied, immediately running off to make tea.

He soon returned with a cup of steaming tea in his hands. "Second Young Master, be careful." 

Li Dong took the teacup and reminded, "Didn't you say you were hungry and would cook noodles for yourself? What are you loitering around for?"

"Oh, I wanted to see what else was in the fridge..." Xu Xingling ran back into his kitchen, and Li Dong could feel the excitement radiating off him even from this distance.

But it's not quite right...

Are all shoes this talented and vigorous? How long ago was it that Xingling had only just experienced his first time, and now he’s already dancing and bouncing all around?

"..." Li Dong definitely won’t admit that it’s because he was too tame. He was gentler because he didn’t want Xingling’s first night to be a fearful experience. This thought surfaced only because of Han Tianlin and Han Yubai in the book. Xu Xingling’s first night then was quite bloody and cruel.

Li Dong suddenly felt his phone vibrate. It was Han Tianlin.

Speak of the devil... If you are not reading from readerfeedertranslation.blogspot.com, this work was stolen.

"Brother, what’s up?" Li Dong picked up the call and asked.

"Yubai, how is it going? Is that person still obedient? Are you having a good time?" Han Tianlin was sat on a leather sofa in a club, swirling his drink in one hand while holding his phone to his ear with the other..

He wanted to make this call yesterday, but he was too busy at work to take care of it.

"Pretty good.” Li Dong said. He glanced in the direction of the kitchen. Xu Xingling was still prepping food there, crushing garlic and chopping up green onions  "I think I’ll keep this person. I won’t let him appear in front of you anymore."

“Good." To Han Tialin, the farther away from him Xu Xingling was, the better. It would be a blessing to have Xingling never cross his line of sight ever again..

"Well then, thank you, brother." Li Dong suddenly thought of Wang Yun, and said, "If you have time, go home sometimes. Don’t always stay out."

Han Tianlin was surprised, and said, "If you are so sensible, then go home to accompany mom." As for himself: "I am getting busier now, and I'm not able to do so. I still need two years to stabilize my career."

“Mom’s still nagging about you getting married. Are you single still? Do you have a girlfriend?" Li Dong inquired.

"No, I'm still playing around right now, who would want to be my girlfriend?" Han Tianlin said: "Don't insert yourself into these matters. Just take care of yourself first."

"Second Young Master~ The noodles are ready!" A voice suddenly interrupted the conversation between the brothers.

"Playing?" Han Tianlin didn't want to disturb his younger brother's fun times: "Then let’s hanging up."

The young man with the noodles finally saw that Li Dong was making a call. He quickly lowered his voice and apologized: "Sorry, did I interrupt?” He was very cautious.

"It's okay, the call ended already." Li Dong vaguely showed him his phone, and then threw it aside. "The noodles are ready? Bring them over and let me taste them."

Xu Xingling recovered his excitement after a second, and he brought the noodles over with a smile, kneeling down. He sat on the ground in front of Li Dong as he introduced the noodle dish. "Beef and enoki mushroom noodles! Does it smell good?”

Li Dong chuckled a bit, reaching out to pinch Xu Xingling’s chin. "Serving me enoki mushroom, what do you want to do?"

Xu Xingling was taken aback. Then he raised a hand to cheekily punch at Li Dong’s arm. "Second Young Master~ Stop telling dirty jokes and making me all shy~"

"..."

It hadn’t been too long since they had dinner, so Li Dong wasn’t very hungry. He ate his noodles slowly, which is exactly what Xu Xingling wanted.

What else could he do to make Li Dong stay? One more second is one more second, and Li Dong had already made it clear that he wouldn’t be staying the night. However, as Li Dong was accompanying him to enjoy noodles,Xu XInging was very moved.

Had it been Han Tianlin, perhaps Xingling would have already been slapped multiple times and been yelled at to get as far away from his as possible.

“Second Young Master....” Xu Xingling scooted closer to Li Dong and leaned into him, calling out to him softly. His expression was as bittersweet as that of a wife wasting away her days in her empty bedroom alone.

“Eat your noodles properly and stop putting up such a fuss.” Li Dong replied calmy, barely even blinking in response to Xingling.

“But I don’t want to eat the noodles…” Xu Xingling dragged his hand up LI Dong’s thigh and whispered into the crook of his neck. “I want to eat you.”
