The answer wasn’t difficult to figure out. There were both direct and indirect ways to please Luo Yusen, so Fei Bai ultimately decided to cover both bases to showcase his sincerity.
The next day, after class, he went to a high-end supermarket near his new home. On the basement level, there was a pricey fresh produce section specializing in premium organic ingredients.
Fei Bai stood in front of a refrigerated display, examining a neatly packaged onion. It looked so perfectly shaped that it could be used as a model in the art studio at the Academy of Fine Arts.
Carefully, he placed the onion in his cart, selected a few vegetables and meats, and then headed to the checkout. However, he accidentally bumped into someone ahead of him while distracted. His cart lightly collided with the person.
“Sorry, sorry.” Fei Bai apologized quickly. “Are you okay?”
“Fei Bai?” The person recognized him.
Fei Bai was surprised to see Luo Chengcheng here.
Luo Chengcheng clicked his tongue. “What a coincidence. I was just passing by and thought of buying some fruits. I didn’t expect to run into you.”
He glanced at the items Fei Bai had picked. “Are you cooking? For my brother?”
Fei Bai nodded.
Luo Chengcheng chuckled and tapped the edge of Fei Bai’s cart with his knuckle. “You have quite the eye for choosing ingredients.”
“Really?” Fei Bai was slightly surprised.
“Yes.” Luo Chengcheng tossed the neatly shaped onion up and caught it again. “You’ve picked all the vegetables my brother doesn’t like to eat.”
Fei Bai paused for a moment, dryly replying, “Oh, well, I guess I’m pretty good at picking.”

Fei Bai only understood at this point. Luo Chengcheng didn’t know the nature of his relationship with Luo Yusen and thought they were in a romantic relationship. He was afraid Fei Bai would misunderstand that Luo Yusen was persuaded to go to that kind of bar, so he wanted to clarify things.
But Luo Yusen didn’t do anything that night? He even pushed away the young man accompanying him?
No wonder he came back so early that day and didn’t eat dinner.
Luo Chengcheng didn’t notice Fei Bai’s confusion and continued to talk incessantly. “Although I don’t know what exactly happened between you two. Fei Bai, please understand my brother a bit more. He’s been pursued by people since childhood and sometimes may not consider other people’s feelings. Like last time at the bar, it was just to upset you. No other purpose, you understand, right?”
Fei Bai came to his senses and softly responded with a “Hmm.”
Then he added, “We didn’t fight.”
More accurately, he didn’t have the right to be upset with Luo Yusen.
“Huh?” Luo Chengcheng didn’t understand how it could suddenly be considered not fighting. In his mind, if it wasn’t a fight, did it mean they had to stab each other three or four times for it to qualify?
Fei Bai didn’t have any intention to explain further. He glanced at his watch and then smiled at Luo Chengcheng. “Mr. Luo, I’m going to buy some other stuff. I have to go now.”
He put back each item he had picked up along the way and felt a strange and inexplicable feeling creeping up in his heart. Fei Bai didn’t know what Luo Yusen liked to eat, but Luo Yusen remembered his tastes, knew his clothing size, and was familiar with his daily schedule.
Fei Bai returned home carrying the heavy plastic bags. He downloaded a recipe app on his phone and carefully studied the cooking methods for each ingredient.
When the sky outside the window had completely darkened, Fei Bai finally succeeded in making his first dish in life that was more challenging than instant noodles. The price he paid was a cut on his left index and middle fingers, accidentally made while chopping vegetables.
He didn’t have time to bandage them because Luo Yusen was about to return, and he couldn’t just serve him with only one dish.
Over an hour later, four dishes and one soup were neatly arranged on the spacious dining table, illuminated by soft lighting. It looked quite decent.
Fei Bai wanted to take a photo to send to Luo Yusen but saw a message from him as soon as he unlocked his phone. It said that he had a social engagement that evening, so Fei Bai didn’t need to wait for him for dinner.
The phrase ‘social engagement’ dampened Fei Bai’s little excitement. He stared at the food on the table for a few seconds, then lowered his head and replied to Luo Yusen with a simple “I understand.”
Because they weren’t lovers, Fei Bai couldn’t justify acting spoiled and saying that he had specially made a lot of dishes for Luo Yusen and asked if he could come back to eat.
Fei Bai gently placed his phone on the table, served himself a bowl of rice, and held the chopsticks, but didn’t pick up any food.
He had lost his appetite.
Fei Bai, who wasn’t used to cooking, felt the soreness and pain in his back and elbows from chopping and stirring. He leaned his arms on the table, burying half of his face.
The room was very quiet, and the deep autumn wind blew outside. Fei Bai felt the wounds on his fingers throbbing faintly.
When Luo Yusen returned, he found Fei Bai asleep on the table, with untouched food that had gone cold.
He paused for a moment, then walked over and called out, “Fei Bai.”
Fei Bai wasn’t deeply asleep. As soon as he heard it, he opened his eyes and saw Luo Yusen’s handsome face in front of him.
“You’re back, Shixiong.” His voice carried a slight hoarseness from just waking up.
Luo Yusen took off his coat and placed it aside, then glanced at the table. “Did you make this?” he asked, lifting his chin slightly.
“Yeah.” Fei Bai rubbed his eyes and accidentally touched the wound on his skin, causing him to hiss in pain.
Luo Yusen frowned. “What happened to your hand?”
“N-nothing,” Fei Bai stammered, quickly hiding his hand behind him.
Luo Yusen glanced at him, then reached out and grabbed Fei Bai’s wrist directly, pulling it forward. When he saw the wound marks, his gaze paused noticeably, and then he met Fei Bai’s eyes. “Why didn’t you tell me?” he asked.
Fei Bai thought he was referring to the small cooking injury. “Oh, it’s just a minor injury, nothing worth mentioning,” he said softly.
“I’m not talking about that.” Luo Yusen squeezed Fei Bai’s wrist slightly, his voice firm. “Why didn’t you tell me that you made dinner?”
Fei Bai was startled, and after a moment, he spoke softly, “Didn’t you have a social engagement?”
Luo Yusen looked at him expressionlessly for a while, making Fei Bai feel like he had said something wrong.
Feeling somewhat uneasy, Fei Bai tried to pull his hand away. “Shixiong…”
Before he could finish his sentence, his breath was cut off by Luo Yusen’s lips pressing down on his.
Fico um pouco triste pelo Feifei. Tadinho do bebê 😕
Valeu pelo capítulo ❤️
Aww I think Yusen just fell in love again and FeiFei is so cuteeee working so hard for Luo Yusen 😭❤
I don’t think that’s how you communicate
Thank You for the new chapter ( ˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈♡)˚๐*˟ ♡
I don’t like whatever is going on. This is frustrating me on so many levels. And I’m just waiting to see how everything will be sorted. Physical intimacy can never replace plain old conversation. And demeaning your lover into being a kept person is not how you show your love. Plot or not, I hate FB more for willing to play along with this farce.
I’m with you so much in this comment, I said in earlier chapter when we saw this behaviour from LY that he would end up loosing his Feifei for good.
That said the writer has taken this in quite a realistic direction considering their personalities and life experiences so far. This story was pitched as a rather trashy comedy but the tone is quite different.
It started off so well and now we have luo yusen torturing fei bai emotionally 😭 and for what y’all, for what 😩
Talking, please, a little bit talking
Thank you for your translation 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
My heart hurts 😭😭
Thanks for the chapter 😔🩷
