After a while, the two became regular meal buddies.
Shou-wife would get off work early and buy some groceries. He would then go take home and start cooking. Later on, Broken-Leg Gong will come over to his house to eat together.
Shou-wife felt that this arrangement was quite good, being dining friends is at least better than just mutual acquaintances liking each other posts on social media.
Broken-Leg Gong also felt that this new development was good, Shou-wife meals tasted better than take-out, and eating together is much more pleasant than eating alone.
50.
The two of them were able to talk a lot more over dinner.
Broken-Leg Gong has a cheerful and talkative personality. He could make any topic they conversed about lively and interesting.
Shou-wife would listen to him attentively while taking small bites of food, as if he was back in the days when he was still interning in his company.
One time, Shou-wife asked Broken-Leg Gong what was wrong when he suddenly stopped in the middle of his speech.
The man then smiled and said, “You got soy sauce on your face.”
After saying this, he extended his hand to help Shou-wife wiped it off.
As his warm fingers touched Shou-wife’s skin, he lowered his head to hide his blushing cheeks.
51.
On an other time while they were having dinner, Shou-wife cautiously asked Broken-Leg Gong:
“Why didn’t you get together with senior Bai Yueguang afterwards?”
Broken-Leg Gong spit out the fish bones in his mouth, sighed and said, “He is a straight man.”
There are two reasons why men would not confess their feelings.

Now that his little wish has come true, he could not help but hope that their relationship could further develop.
It is true that people are indeed very greedy creatures.
53.
Shou-wife chose to confess his feelings on Broken-Leg Gong’s birthday.
Broken-Leg Gong went out to celebrate with his friends after work while Shou-wife waited nervously for him at home.
Hearing his voice coming from across the hall, Shou-wife immediately opened the door and went out:
“Happy birthday!”
Shou-wife said while holding up the cake he made; the candle flame shone brightly on his eyes.
Broken-Leg Gong was pleasantly surprised.
He thought the cake looked even better than the one he bought.
Shou-wife also looked very nice.
54.
Broken-Leg Gong invited Shou-wife to his apartment and they sat down together to blow out the candles and taste the cake.
The atmosphere was pleasant and warm; Shou-wife was about to pluck up the courage to confess when suddenly Broken-Leg Gong’s rang. It was a video call from Bai Yueguang.
Broken-Leg Gong picked it up in front of Shou-wife.
“Happy birthday, old Duan.”
“You are up so early!” The corners of Broken-Leg Gong’s mouth involuntarily rose.
“Well I am going out on a date.” Bai Yueguang said as he rubbed his messy hair with a sleepy look, “Oh I forgot to tell you, I got a girlfriend last week.”
Broken-Leg Gong’s smile froze on his face.
55.
After hanging up the phone Broken-Leg Gong’s expression obviously fell down. Shou-wife who was sitting by his side could see the change of mood.
Broken-Leg Gong was no longer interested in celebrating his birthday so he apologetically said to Shou-wife:” Sorry, but you should go back first, I want to go to sleep.”
Shou-wife stayed still and did not move.
Broken-Leg Gong wanted to again ask him to leave him alone for tonight but Shou-wife didn’t let him finish and interrupted him to say, “Let’s be together.”
56.
“I like you, let’s be together.”
Shou-wife bravely and firmly looked into Broken-Leg Gong’s eyes.
Broken-Leg Gong did not see this coming. He frowned and said: “But I still have not let go of my feelings for him.”
Shou-wife’s heart ached yet he still said: “It’s okay, I don’t mind.”
57.
Previously, Shou-wife had chosen to leave Broken-Leg Gong the second he learned that he liked Bai Yueguang.
Yet now, even though he was clearly told that the man was still in love with his white moonlight, he still wanted to stay by his side.
Time will smooth out people’s edges.
It will turn a Shou-wife into a Trashy-shou.
58.
At that moment, Shou-wife felt like he threw away all his dignity. It really took all his strength to utter those words; his eyes instantly filled with tears.
Broken-Leg Gong’s heart softened at the sight. He took Shou-wife into his arms, coaxing him like a child and patting his back, saying: “Don’t cry, don’t cry.”
Shou-wife did not intend to cry but as soon as he was comforted, he really let his tears fall.
Just now he put up such a front, showing a brave and fearless persona; but now he couldn’t hold it together anynmore, his image has completely crumbled.
59.
Broken-Leg Gong didn’t know what to do or how to comfort him. The depression in his heart completely disappeared and flew out of his mind.
Right now he could care less about whatever Bai Yueguang or Lan Yueliang.
He only wanted Shou-wife to stop crying.
All those bittersweet years of secret crush came flooding back to Shou-wife making his tears even hotter. Lying in Broken-Leg Gong’s arms and crying, he finally raised his head and asked again with a sobbing voice:
“Then can we be together ah?”
Broken-Leg Gong promised:
“Yes!”
