Chapter 34 - Your favorite shrimp

“Jane” was a nice Chinese restaurant, a place having all sorts of traditional Chinese cuisines. Han Mingxu liked coming here. So they came here quite often.

When Nancheng Lie arrived, Keqi wasn’t there yet. Probably because of the rain, there were a few people at the restaurant. Their seats were still available.

“Mr. Nancheng.” The manager was surprised to see him, “it’s been a while. Where is Mr. Han? Is he alright?”

“You will see him later. You can ask him yourself.” Smiled Nancheng Lie. After the accident, Xu went to Leiluo. They spent little time with each other. Nancheng Lie came to the restaurant from time to time during the two years but he felt something was missing.

Now it was the first time that they met here two years later. Nancheng Lie was excited. As he knew very well what kind of food Han Mingxu liked, he took the liberty of ordering a few cuisines.

Half an hour later, Keqi arrived. He greeted the manager and sat down in front of Nancheng Lie.

“A penny for your thought?” asked Keqi.

Nancheng Lie shook his head with a smile, looking at Keqi. He had been familiar with that face since they were kids. Han Mingxu had a pretty face but he had a tough punch. Nancheng Lie fell for him when they were still teenagers. He couldn’t help looking away from him, especially he was more mature and calm now.

When he looked into his eyes, Nancheng Lie was startled. Why? Why couldn’t he be attracted as he used to be?

Han Mingxu was careless since young because his parents died young. Nancheng Lie managed to make Han Mingxu recognize him. When Han looked at him, he could feel the passion in his eyes. It was a way Han expressed his friendship toward him. But now he couldn’t find any in Xu’s eyes.

Although he was looking at him with a smile. This man may look like Han Mingxu but had no Han’s soul.

“What’s the matter? “ asked Keqi as Nancheng Lie stared at him all the time. S

“Nothing.” Nancheng Lie drank a cup of water to calm himself down, “I’ve been missing you.” His finger circled around the edge of wine glass, gazing into the man sitting in front of him. Nancheng Lie had a pair of deep eyes, as deep as an abyss, which people could easily fall into.

Keqi was an example. He was surprised at his thought because he read passion in Nancheng Lie’s eyes.

“Oh? For what? Thank you.” Their dishes were served. Keqi ate a few toufu, “it’s good.”

“Because I…” if it were in the past, Nancheng Lie would say shamelessly that he wanted to fuck him. But now he couldn’t make such a joke. It was not a joke actually. It was his real thought. “I was thinking, how can I not eat you, my handsome friend?”

“You can’t eat me.” Chuckled Keqi.

“Are you sure?”

“Didn’t you get beaten up enough when you were a kid?” Keqi put down his chopsticks and wiped his hand with a tissue.

“I let you win.” Nancheng Lie rolled his eyes. He didn’t have the heart to hurt him. Every time they had a fight, he let him win. “Your favorite shrimp.” Nancheng Lie scooped up a small spoonful of shrimp for Keqi.

Keqi raised his eyebrows but soon eat the shrimp.

Nancheng Lie had a doubt. But soon Keqi said, “I remember shrimp is your favorite. Since when it is my favorite?”

Nancheng Lie was busted up. As he tried to cover himself with a laughter, his phone rang, “brother. What? I get it.”

Nancheng Lie hung up the phone but he didn’t look good. “What’s matter?” asked Keqi.
