Chapter 178 - 'I can’t Find the Elevator Going Downstairs.” (1)

Yu Qinghuan leaned against the bed head to relieve his palpitations, while saying to Huo Qu, “Call Yu Xin and bring you some takeout.”

Huo Qu compressed his lips and looked a little reluctant. He was still not used to taking the initiative to communicate with others. He glanced at Yu Qinghuan and saw that the other party was determined, so he had no choice but to pick up the phone.

“Hurry up,” Yu Qinghuan urged, pretending not to see Huo Qu’s micro expression of grievance. “Otherwise, Yu Xin will come upstairs already.”

“I know.” Huo Qu pressed on his cell phone and was just about to call Yu Xin when suddenly there was a sound of card swiping at the door. Then Yu Xin came in with a large bag in his hands. Seeing Huo Qu, Yu Xin stopped, “Hey! Huo Qu? What are you doing here?”

“To see Qinghuan,” Huo Qu could only speak for himself cause Yu Qinghuan did not mean to answer for him.

“You two are really… sticky… I feel my teeth hurt.” Yu Xin clicked his tongue, opened the bag and put the things inside on the table bit by bit.

“Ge, why are you so fast?” Yu Qinghuan looked at him doubtfully, “Well… does the restaurant provide insulated lunch boxes now?”

“No,” Yu Xin swished his hands and explained to him, “I met Zheng ge as soon as I went out. When he heard you’re ill, he asked me to bring you his lunch.”

After a pause, he sighed, “Zheng doesn’t talk much, but he is really nice. I didn’t want to take these, but he just tucked them to me.”

Yu Qinghuan was silent for a moment and then turned to Huo Qu with conditioned reflex. Seeing Huo Qu having no drastic reaction, he breathed a sigh of relief, saying to Yu Xin, “Buy some gifts and send them to Zheng next time.”

Finishing his words, he lifted the quilt, got out of the bed, and pulled a chair to Yu Xin’s side, “Ge, sit down.”

“No, thanks.” Yu Xin shook his head, “You two enjoy your meals, I’ll go eat in some diner.”

Well, after a second thought, Yu Qinghuan also realized that the meal was barely enough for two. Their three could only plug the slit between their teeth with such a portion, so he nodded.

After Yu Xin left, Yu Qinghuan handed the chopsticks and spoon to Huo Qu, “Come, let’s have a meal.”

Huo Qu took the spoon, dug a big spoonful of rice and stuffed it into his mouth. He was still not good at using spoon. So he spilled half a spoonful of rice, making Yu Qinghuan annoying and amusing at the same time. “Eat slowly, I won’t rob yours.”

Huo Qu lowered his eyes and mumbled, “He gave you his meal…”

“Don’t be jealous,” Yu Qinghuan scooped up a mouthful of soup and handed it to Huo Qu’s lips, “Open your mouth. His feeling for me has long gone.”

Huo Qu already understood the meaning of ‘jealousy’. At Yu Qinghuan’s command, he opened his mouth to swallow the soup and then, he said angrily, “I didn’t see it anyway.” After a pause, he added, “He can still meet you every day, but I can’t.”

Yu Qinghuan held his forehead helplessly. Seeing Huo Qu could not even pick up the green vegetable after much effort, he gave his to Huo Qu, “Well, hurry up, or you will be too late to go back later.”

Yu Qinghuan paused, grasped Huo Qu’s left hand, scratched his palm, and smiled, “There are so many people meeting me every day, but you are the only boyfriend I have.”

Hearing these, Huo Qu’s face finally filled with joy. He raised Yu Qinghuan’s hand and kissed on the back of the man’s hand.

“Don’t, there’re oil in your mouth,” Yu Qinghuan stared at him. When Qinghuan was about to take a paper towel to wipe his lips, Huo Qu suddenly clutched Qinghuan’s head, pressed on Qinghuan’s lips with his own like seeking for a revenge. Until Yu Qinghuan was breathless, Huo Qu released and let him go, chuckling.

Yu Qinghuan felt much better after the mischief. He felt no appetite at beginning, but ended up with a full stomach.

Huo Qu ate very slowly, so the driver of the Huo family called over and over again to urge him. Qinghuan was really fed up so he picked up the chopsticks and shoved the food into Huo Qu’s mouth.

His actions were so fast that before Huo Qu could swallow the first mouthful, the second was delivered to his mouth. His cheeks were bulging and he chewed like a squirrel with pine cones filled his mouth.

Yu Qinghuan couldn’t help giggling. He wanted to make fun of him again, but snorted a laughter.

Huo Qu didn’t know that Qinghuan was laughing at him. He looked at the man blankly and also smiled.

“Are you full?” After Huo Qu finished two bowls of rice, Yu Qinghuan handed him a glass of water and asked.

Huo Qu nodded, “Yes.” Knowing that after the meal was over, he would go back, he took Yu Qinghuan’s hand and his thick eyelashes quivered, reluctant to part, “Qinghuan…”

Yu Qinghuan looked up at him, “Uh?”

“I can’t find the elevator goes downstairs.”

Yu Qinghuan narrowed his eyes. After he was with Huo Qu, he found one thing: as long as Huo Qu lied, his eyes would blink faster than usual. Thus, he said: “Then how did you go upstairs?”

Huo Qu didn’t expect Yu Qinghuan to question him instead of saying he would send his darling downstairs, so he told the truth, “The driver sent me upstairs.”

“Then call the driver who sent you up.”

Huo Qu sipped his lips and did not make a sound.

Yu Qinghuan did not move, but looked at Huo Qu until the latter could not help but whisper, “Qinghuan…”

Then Qinghuan pulled out the room card with one hand and took Huo Qu with the other. “Let’s go,” he chuckled.
