Chapter 16
Wen Ai was unable to move, and could only slightly twist his wrists. He scratched at Xu ChangZhou’s back using the Nine Yin white bone claws:
“How can you be like this ah! I don’t want to eat your bottom part!”
Xu ChangZhou who was washing the pot paused and asked:
“What did you just say?”
Wen Ai was momentarily stunned before his entire face flushed red:
“I… What I was saying is that I don’t want to eat the noodles made by you.”
T/N: Wen Ai messed up by saying 下面 which means down there or bottom part in this context（Read Xia Mian), instead of 下的面 (Read Xia De Mian) which means the noodles you made.
His voice gradually became softer, Xu ChangZhou’s shoulders shook from laughing, Wen Ai was also shaken up and down as a result. He pinched Xu ChangZhou while his face continued to be flushed with embarrassment”
“You’re not allowed to laugh!”
Xu ChangZhou continued to wash the pot : “ Alright, I won’t laugh”
After washing the wok Xu ChangZhou placed the clean pot under the tap to fill it with water, while waiting for it to be filled up he spoke:
“I am reluctant.”
Wen Ai “What?”
Xu ChangZhou: “to let you do that kind of stuff for me.”
Wen Ai asked, confused: “to eat my bottom part.”
Wen Ai’s face once again flushed red: “even if you are willing, that’s for me to decide ah! Otherwise watch me bite it off!”
Xu ChangZhou felt a chill down there, he placed his attention back on cooking the noodles.The conversation ended there.
While waiting for the water to boil Xu ChangZhou took out a pan and placed pig fat and 4 eggs onto it, the kitchen was filled with the pleasing aroma of fried eggs.
Wen Ai’s chin rested on Xu ChangZhou’s shoulders, his eyes sparkling as he watched the fried eggs:

“I learned it to feed my doggy.”
Wen Ai looked over at the floor:
“You’ve got dogs? What breed? But I don’t see any fur on the ground?”
Xu ChangZhou turned to look at him:
“I got a dumb little dog, it’s currently leaning on my back obediently.”
Wen Ai was dumbstruck for a bit before baring his two rows of teeth and sinking them into Xu ChangZhou’s shoulders:
“ Are you sick in the head!”
Xu ChangZhou scooped the noodles into the bowls and placed them atop the dining table and placed Wen Ai down:
“Quickly eat it.”
The kidnapped Wen Ai had originally left his dormitory for food and has yet to eat. As such his stomach was quite empty. He picked up the egg with chopsticks and took a huge bite, and wolfed the rest of the noodles down making slurping sounds.
Xu ChangZhou did not appear to be hungry, the chopsticks in his hands remained barely moving. Wen Ai was busy eating and did not care to question Xu ChangZhou about it, just keep watching if you like to, it’s not like anything will happen.
After Wen Ai finished eating it was already 10pm, Xu ChangZhou was washing dishes in the kitchen while Wen Ai was exploring the flat. He did not plan to escape, since there were guards outside and the flat was located on the 20th floor unless the system gave him wings, escape would be futile.
Xu ChangZhou’s flat was very clean, everything was well organised, Wen Ai began exploring left and right inside of the study. However he had unkwnongly caused a cardboard and a couple of small objects to fly out and scatter across the floor, making it look as if he was standing in the middle of a demolition site.
Wen Ai nervously looked at the doorway before quickly picking up the objects and placing it inside the box. While picking up the objects he spotted a familiar looking drawing book, he looked up at the ceiling and thought for a while. It seemed like he had asked Xu ChangZhou to hand him this dooring highschool but Xu ChangZhou had been adamant in not giving it to him.
At that time he had proclaimed that he would get his hands on it one day and read the contents. Who would have thought that he would get the chance to do so after all these years.
The cover of the book was not as vibrant as it was back then. The cover page was now gray and white in color, while the sharp edges had become dull. There were bits of white jutting out from the book, and although it looked old it was very clean, even the dust on it right now should have been from him dropping the book justnow.
It looks like Xu ChangZhou would periodically flip through it. Wen Ai’s curiosity increased as he thought of this. He carefully flipped open the book, but before he could even read its contents a bunch of photos came falling out.
Wen Ai lowered his head to look at it, he was immediately shocked. The contents of the photo were of his life during the past 3 years. Including pictures of his highschool graduation to him playing on his phone in the classroom.
Wen Ai felt that there must be more, since there was even a photo of him picking up a mango at the supermarket, then based on how it should be a record of his daily life then there should be at least 30 more of such pictures?
There must be more of these pictures hidden throughout the room. Just as Wen Ai decided to search for more of them, he raised his head to see Xu ChangZhou coming towards him. Wen Ai momentarily froze.
Xu ChangZhou did not seem to be bothered by the discovery of his secret, instead he silently knelt next to Wen Ai and carefully picked up the photos scattered on the floor. He spoke naturally without any hints of unusualness:
“Are you tired? Why don’t you go take a shower and sleep.”
Wen Ai pointed towards the pictures:
“These past years you’ve been…”
Xu ChangZhou organized the photos into a neat pile and replied:
“Yes, I’ve been taking notice of you.”
Wen Ai bit his lips:
“This isn’t called taking notice, this is called illegal stalking, do I not have a single shred of privacy?”
Xu ChangZhou raised his head and looked at Wen Ai straight in the eye:
“What am I supposed to do then, I miss you, I cannot bear to be without you.”
Wen Ai was dazed by the seriousness in his eyes, and struggled for a bit before he managed to speak again:
“Instead of doing all these you might as well have called my my phone number directly…”
Xu ChangZhou scoffed, and sat on the floor and took Wen Ai into his embrace, he then stroked Wen Ai’s face lightly:
“I did not have the qualifications to be with you back then, nor did I have the right to have you.”
Wen Ai crawled out of his embrace and spoke in a matter of fact tone:
“You still don’t have to right even now.”
“It seems like I have yet to officially confess to you.” Xu ChangZhou brushed aside the hair covering Wen Ai’s forehead, his eyes were gentle and full of love:
“Baby, I love you, and I want to take care of you for the rest of our lives together.”
Wen Ai retracted he his head and smacked away Xu ChangZhou’s hand and replied in a serious tone:
“It seems like I have yet to reject you officially, I do not like you, nor will there be something like the rest of our lives together.”
Xu ChangZhou’s loving smile did not change, as if he had not heard the rejection, instead he carried Wen Ai towards the bathroom:
“It’s time to take a bath.”
The bath was already filled with water, Xu ChangZhou hung a clean towel and pajamas on the rack ontop of the shower. Wen Ai took off his clothes and sat inside the bathtub, his finger played with the bubbles in the water:
“System, I want to give up on this world, let’s go to another one.”
System: “The world is in lockdown mode, you can only leave after the ending.
Wen Ai picked up and blew the bubbles into the air:
“How long until then.”
System: “2-3 Years.”
Wen Ai stammered : “Why is there so much time left?”
The system replied helplessly:
“What you’ve previously experienced is just the foundation of the plot, the true plot of the male and female protagonist has yet to actually start, 2-3 years is already a short period, you’ve yet to encounter plots that require 10 plus years to conclude.”
