For the first time, Mu Zhe saw Lulu's spoiled behavior. But his heart was not happy. Because those spoiled behavior was not for him.
He pursed his lips, dissatisfied with what he was witness. His sharp eyes glanced at Lulu and Zhang Yiran one after another. Full of jealousy.
His fingers were busy twisting the corner of the pillow. He let out all of his anger there. Luckily Fantuan already hiding somewhere, otherwise he would have received the same fate as the pillow.
Ah Fei elbowing Jiang Hai. His eyes signaled for Jiang Hai to do something to Mu Zhe before the pillow was destroyed in Mu Zhe's hands.
"Why me?"
Jiang Hai asked silently. Ah Fei gave Jiang Hai a deadly glare.
"You're his friend."
Also spoke silently. Only their lips spoke. Jiang Hai swallow his saliva. To persuade Mu Zhe who was in a bad mood was like facing a hungry lion. He was more willing to face Teacher Ma who had a prickly tongue.
"Tch!"
Ah Fei began to lose his patience.
"What a loser."
He whispers angrily.
"Eh? Me? What I do wrong this time?"
Jiang Hai was stunned after receiving Ah Fei's brutally words. Why he was the one who needed to be dragged into the matter.
"Where did this kid learn that kind of words?" Jiang Hai grumbled. "He must have learned it from Zhang Yiran." He replied.
"Okay. I'll try to persuade him."
Jiang Hai finally gave in. He stood up and walked over to Mu Zhe. Slowly sat down next to him.
"Where's Fantuan?"
He asked as he took the pillow from Mu Zhe's hand. With his lips still pouted, Mu Zhe shrugged.
"Ah!! I just remembered"
Jiang Hai took his phone. In the end, he had an idea to distract Mu Zhe from Lulu and ZhangYiran.
"Look at this. Isn't it beautiful? Yesterday I saw Ru She's cat wearing this."
Jiang Hai said as he showed what was displayed on his phone screen right in front of Mu Zhe's eyes.
Mu Zhe gave Jiang Hai a deadly glare. His eyes spoke "Have you lived for a long time? Are you tired of living?" Jiang Hai pretended not to understand. He just gestured for Mu Zhe to peek at what was on his phone screen.
Mu Zhe reluctantly agreed. He knew that if he didn't agree, Jiang Hai would continue to displaying his phone in front of his eyes.
"Which one do you think is good for Fantuan?"
Jiang Hai asked after Mu Zhe shifted his gaze from Lulu to his phone.
"Fantuan is a male. These are all for female cats. Are you trying to play dumb on me?"
Mu Zhe replied in monotones. His eyes returned to Lulu who was busy chatting with Zhang Yiran. Sometimes Lulu could be seen hugging and leaning on Zhang Yiran arms. And every time that happened, Jiang Hai's thigh will be the victim of Mu Zhe's punch.
"Mu Zhe."
Jiang Hai whispered close to Mu Zhe's ear.
"What do you want!?"
Mu Zhe snapped angrily.
"Have you expressed your feelings to Lulu?"
Jiang Hai's question was like an atomic bomb falling right on his head.
Boom! All gone.
Mu Zhe gave Jiang Hai a death glare. But his face was already blushing red to his ears and nape.
"Are you being silly?"
Mu Zhe asked as he adjusted his seat which was starting to feel hot.
"You like him, right?"
Jiang Hai teased again.
"Who!? Who said that!?"
Mu Zhe's voice was a little high. Trying to control his embarrassment.
Lulu and Zhang Yiran stopped chatting immediately. Their eyes were focused on Mu Zhe's face which was already blushing like a tomato. Ah Fei looked blankly as he watched Mu Zhe and Lulu's faces alternate. "Is what I heard was true? Senior Mu Zhe... towards Lulu...?"
"How about you!? Have you expressed your feelings to Ru Yi?"
He snapped while slapping Jiang Hai's arm as hard as he could. Lashing his nervousness on there. His embarrassment began to become unbearable after all eyes were focused on him.
"Eh? Why me?"
Jiang Hai asked. He didn't expect that Mu Zhe would retaliate with his love story that had not yet been finalized.
"Why not!? I'm too lazy to play with you. I wanna go to sleep."
Mu Zhe quickly got up. He took rough steps as a protest towards the room. On the way, he even bumped into Lulu as if to say "Move away you liar!"
Lulu just watched Mu Zhe's behavior. His lips curled into a smile. He had plenty of time to persuade his beloved. What the important thing was, his name was safely engraved in Mu Zhe's heart.
***
Mu Zhe slowly walked towards the kitchen. His eyes were still half asleep.
"Are you awake?"
Lulu asked softly. Mu Zhe nodded while resting sit next Zhang Yiran. Reluctant to let Lulu sit there. His lips were still protruding like an angry puffer fish.
"Do you want bread or fried rice?"
Lulu asked as he took the plate for Mu Zhe.
"Anything."
Mu Zhe replied. His voice sounded hoarse and made Lulu almost lose his sense. His spoiled style really can't be compared with Fantuan's. Mu Zhe, who had just woken up, really tested Lulu's puberty.
Zhang Yiran smiled while trying to hold back his laughter. The same went for Jiang Hai and Ah Fei.
Lulu gave Mu Zhe fried rice and two sunny side eggs.
"Thank you."
Mu Zhe accepted the plate from Lulu's hand. His lips were still pouting. His jealousy was not yet convinced and its showed no signs of fading anytime soon. "Lulu, do your best." Zhang Yiran patted Lulu's back.
"Juice or coffee?"
Lulu asked again. Really treating Mu Zhe like a queen. Trying to persuade Mu Zhe in his own way.
"Coffee."
Mu Zhe answered while waiting for Lulu to serve his every wish.
"Milk?"
Mu Zhe nodded. Lulu prepared coffee for Mu Zhe with love. His lips were never without a smile. He was no longer had to hide his feelings from others and Mu Zhe himself. And he never intended to do that. If possible, he wanted the whole universe to know that Mu Zhe was his.
But he had to think about Mu Zhe. About Mu Zhe's feelings for him. About Mu Zhe's fear after he knew about his feelings.
"Everything for you, beauty."
Lulu said as he placed the cup right in front of Mu Zhe. The first time he said those seductive words. And the first time it made Mu Zhe freeze. His whole body felt numb. It felt like he had just been hit by a high-voltage electric shock.
Mu Zhe's cheeks immediately turned red. "Urghhhh... not fair." Mu Zhe grumbled. He really didn't expect that Lulu would ambush him that morning. No words of denial came out of Mu Zhe's plump lips. He just lower his head and eating his fried rice.
Zhang Yiran couldn't help but feel it. He patted Ah Fei's thigh to control his laughter from erupting. Ah Fei also squeezed Zhang Yiran's hand. Also trying to hold back his laughter.
Jiang Hai pursed his lips as hard as he could. He didn't expect that Lulu would be braver than him. He said to himself "Wow! What a gentleman"
And for Mu Zhe, he just enjoyed his breakfast while looking down. He didn't dare to raise his face. He only glanced at Lulu from the corner of his eyes occasionally. Embarrassed. Also excited. If it was just him and Lulu at that moment, maybe the atmosphere would be different.
