TSBSPAAM Chapter 72

Chapter 72: Indirect Kiss

He Jing sneezed without warning, shaking his hand as he opened the bathroom door. “Damn, Mu Yi, were you cursing me?”

Mu Yi glanced at him sideways. “Oh, when you need me, it’s ‘Brother Mu’; when you don’t, it’s just ‘Mu Yi’.”

The aroma from the table constantly reminded He Jing to rein it in. At this moment, he could be flexible. “Ahem, Brother Mu, have you eaten? Want to eat together?”

Typical.

Mu Yi was used to him acting like this and rudely ruffled his hair, messing up He Jing’s already unkempt hair from waking up late.

This time, He Jing didn’t get angry. He pulled out the chair by the table and sat down to enjoy his lunch.

The insulated container kept the food warm. With the first bite, He Jing thought it was simply too delicious. Having it all to himself made it taste even better!

“The kids in the next dorm over are crying with envy. Does Brother Mu want a piece of beef?”

Mu Yi paused in turning the page of his book, then turned around and rested his chin on the back of the chair. “Sure, feed me.”

“Fine, you’re the boss now. Open up—”

Mu Yi obediently opened his mouth. A piece of beef with excellent texture entered his mouth. Not too hot, and Mu Yi thought it tasted pretty good.

He Jing started to wolf down his food again. Mu Yi ate a piece and waited a while before speaking, “One more bite.”

He Jing rolled his eyes and complained with his mouth full, “Didn’t you already eat? Why are you fighting me for it!”

Mu Yi lifted his eyelids. “Oh, I ate, but now you’ve made me crave it.”

He Jing almost choked. He grumpily fed him another bite, then sped up his eating, as if afraid Mu Yi would snatch his food.

Seeing that he was indeed starving, Mu Yi didn’t disturb him further. But he couldn’t focus on his book anymore, so he simply put it down, rested his arms on the back of the chair, propped his chin on them, and stared at He Jing.

Under such an intense, predatory gaze, He Jing ate even faster.

Mu Yi looked at the rice grains scattered on the table with amusement. “Why eat so fast? I won’t snatch it from you.”

He Jing glanced at him suspiciously. “Are you serious? Then why are you looking at me instead of your book?”

Mu Yi said nonchalantly, “You’re good-looking.”

He Jing was speechless. He was indeed handsome, with few who could match him, but being stared at like this while eating made him very uncomfortable.

“Keep looking and I’ll charge you.”

Mu Yi lowered his head, thinking about something. After a while, he picked up his terminal and fiddled with it.

The next second, a voice notification sounded from He Jing’s terminal: “Received 100,000 star coins.”

He Jing decisively put down his chopsticks, staring blankly at the notification, then looked at Mu Yi in disbelief. “Holy crap, are you for real?”

“Mm.”

“Let’s get this straight first, you can’t go back on your word. Once you transfer it to me, don’t expect me to give it back. This is 100,000 star coins!”

Mu Yi rested his head on his arm and tilted it. “Mm, I won’t go back on my word. So, can I look now?”

Did he even need to ask? Who would say no to 100,000 star coins? He Jing happily continued eating, instantly becoming generous.

“Look, look, look all you want! Look as long as you want, no problem!”

He Jing was as happy as could be, looking at Mu Yi as if he were a fool throwing money away. He didn’t notice the tender affection in Mu Yi’s eyes, as if they held an entire galaxy.

They sent Shen Bumian a message saying they were busy tonight and asked if he could trouble himself to deliver dinner to Qin Luzhi.

It would be plausible if one person was busy, but when a whole group of people claimed to be busy at once, it was very obvious. Shen Bumian almost laughed out of anger seeing the messages arrive with no time difference between them.

He randomly clicked on one to reply.

【shen: Does he not have any other friends? /smile】

The other side replied very quickly. Shen Bumian’s terminal was vibrated, and only then did he look down to see it was the chat with Chen Hebin.

【Sinking Boat (Love Edition): Sister-in-law, you might not know, but the boss has always been solitary and doesn’t like making friends by nature. We just forced ourselves on him.】

【shen: (gritting teeth) Having you guys is his blessing!】

Despite saying that, Shen Bumian still went in the evening because he was afraid that if they really said that, none of them would go, and nutrient solutions tasted terrible.

This time, the window was open. The guard had opened it in the afternoon to deliver new nutrient solutions and inhibitors and forgot to close it. Qin Luzhi, still in a daze, hadn’t noticed at all.

So Shen Bumian angrily pushed the food container in. By now, even a fool would know that Qin Luzhi had tricked him at noon.

Qin Luzhi opened his eyes when he heard the familiar footsteps, looking at the visitor with a smile. But the next second, his smile froze because he saw the food container being pushed in.

He slowly stood up, his imposing aura not completely retracted. As the distance closed, Shen Bumian frowned but didn’t step back.

Noticing this, Qin Luzhi was in a good mood. He slowly opened the lid of the food container. Unlike the dishes at noon, this was from outside the school; Qin Luzhi recognized it at a glance.

“Don’t misunderstand. I just happened to be eating there and packed some leftovers. This is all what I had left, and Chen Hebin and the others begged me to bring it to you.”

Shen Bumian looked at the glass door instead of Qin Luzhi, pretending to scroll through his terminal unconsciously.

Qin Luzhi’s imposing aura vanished instantly. He looked at the bowl of steaming, clearly fresh mutton soup and chuckled softly. “Mm, I like eating your leftovers. Thank you, kind-hearted Mianmian.”

He looked up at Shen Bumian, who was clearly uncomfortable but still leaned there waiting for him, laughed softly again, and stood there slowly eating this sumptuous dinner.

He was probably the only person quarantined in this building receiving such good treatment. Of course, this was the top floor, and Qin Luzhi was the only one quarantined on this entire level.

Shen Bumian was a bit distracted looking at the news on the star-net about a large number of Alphas missing and dead, when suddenly a spoonful of soup was held to his lips.

“Mianmian, I haven’t used the spoon yet. Want a sip?”

Shen Bumian snapped back to reality, staring blankly at Qin Luzhi’s action. He was leaning against the glass door, a little distance from the window, and Qin Luzhi had extended his entire arm out.

It was a good thing Qin Luzhi had long arms and could reach. Shen Bumian still found it a bit comical, which made him want to laugh, and he didn’t hold back.

Qin Luzhi didn’t know why Shen Bumian suddenly laughed, but it was nice. Shen Bumian looked even better when he smiled.

With distinct knuckles gripping the porcelain-white spoon, Shen Bumian lowered his head and took a sip. It was indeed very fresh and delicious.

Qin Luzhi pulled his hand back and stirred the soup with the spoon. The sound of porcelain clinking seemed melodious to them.

If I drank soup with the spoon, what will Qin Luzhi do? This was the thought that belatedly popped into Shen Bumian’s mind.

But his worry was truly superfluous. Qin Luzhi nonchalantly drank a mouthful of soup using that same spoon, and even gave a positive review after drinking.

Seeing Shen Bumian’s staring eyes, he even nonchalantly offered it again. “Want more?”

Shen Bumian had already moved from the glass door to the window, making it easier for Qin Luzhi to feed him. Shen Bumian opened his mouth subconsciously.

Unknowingly, the two of them finished the meal bite by bite. Shen Bumian felt numb, realizing belatedly: Did I just… have an indirect kiss with Qin Luzhi?!
