Hey bro, whats so funny? I teased.
Raising his face to , Wu Yu fixed his seemingly intimidating gaze at and said nothing. After what felt like an eternity, he abruptly moved his hand along the bed while leaning toward . Having sat close to the bed, I beca petrified at that mont as I sensed his scent approaching . It was the scent of a mans warm, muscular body. My heart raced frantically as I sat there in agony, feeling the dangerous aura coming from him. He said nothing, but I was beyond tense on the inside. However, I still managed to put on a nonchalant front while turning my face away.
A rustling noise ca from behind before I caught a glimpse of Wu Yu putting on a T-shirt.
Ill go wash up, he said as he stood up.
Oh.
He opened a side door in his small place, revealing the blazing morning sun outside. Grabbing his toothbrush and towel, he squatted before an outdoor tap to start washing up. I looked at him with the sun shining on his gray T-shirt. He seed to have really embraced his laborious life, as his current appearance barely reminded of that clean-cut, studious-looking man on that ship. Yet, from ti to ti, the shadow of that gentle and adorable man would appear behind those eyes when he lowered his face to smile.
After washing his face, he put his head under the tap, washing his hair and trying his best to avoid the wound on his head. Finally, he dried his head with the towel and ca back to the room. He looked at and said, All done. Have you had breakfast?
Not yet. I ca as soon as I got the information.
He let out another brief smile. Lets have so food. We can talk there.
Under the watchful gazes of his coworkers, I held my flushed face and followed Wu Yu out of the shop. Are you going to skip work again? Will it be okay?
I worked through the night, so I need to rest today. Itll be fine.
I stopped dead in my tracks and looked at his face. Sure enough, there were dark circles under his eyes, which caused my heart to ache. Lets not eat then. Why dont you go back to sleep so more?
Its fine. I dont want to keep you waiting.
A feeling of guilt and warmth crept into my heart. For so reason, I blurted out, Then I wont sleep in in the future so as to not let you wait.
He let out a chuckle before he calmly said, Youre a lady. You can sleep for as long as you want.
I think hes not in a bad mood anymore, right?
We ca to a small restaurant close by, and I suddenly felt a peculiar urge. Let explain. Although I had eaten at such restaurants before, I never had the chance to order a variety of seemingly delicious foods. Yet, I had the urge to do so every ti I saw the piping hot dishes that ca out from the kitchen, hoping to try everything.
Since Wu Yu was with today, I thought I would satisfy my urge and order six to seven dishes. Will you be able to finish this much?
As if he could read my mind, he shot a glance and said, Order whatever you want. Ill try my best to finish everything.
Joy filled my heart. In the end, the two of us did clear everything we ordered.
Leaving the shop, the hot noon sun hung above us as we walked back toward the shop slowly with our tummies filled. I decided to open my umbrella and asked Wu Yu, Why dont you co closer?
No need.
I took a look at him carefully and said, You really are darker than before.
Really? I dont really care.
You look better with a little less tan.
You didnt seem to like when I wasnt this tan.
There was a unique sense of emptiness on the road, with clouds floating overhead and few pedestrians walking on the road. I had no idea why he would say that, but I felt as if my heart had been gently touched. How did you know I didnt like you? These words ca up my throat before I quickly swallowed them down, realizing that I could not say this out loud. When did I co to the conclusion that this man was straightforward? I realized now that he was not at all easy to read or deal with. In fact, he shook to my core and caught off guard with only one sentence.
I did not know if he said it intentionally or accidentally, but he was definitely smart and bold.
