Chapter 481 – Say Thank You
"Yes?" asked Hyson.
"Is Cloe at home?" inquired Cui Xukun as he stared at Hyson. He had to say this man was handsome. Cui Xukun had never felt inferior and never thought that he didn't have the looks. But right now, looking at Hyson, he was feeling a bit down. Hyson's visuals were too eye-catching.
"Cloe is changing right now," replied Hyson very honestly but that smirk didn't leave his face even for a second.
Cui Xukun didn't know why his chest was feeling a tightness that made it difficult for him to breathe for a minute. Although Cui Xukun was certain that Cloe and Hyson had no such relationship, he couldn't help feeling down though. It was the kind of feeling like your crush has a better option than you, why would your crush pick you up then?
As his emotions were written all over his face, Hyson was so amused that he felt like laughing out loud. How could Cui Xukun hide his feelings from someone like Hyson who could read the unsaid words of his own mother or even Raelle? Reading this man before him was a piece of cake since Cui Xukun seemed to be wearing his feelings on his sleeve.
'This guy is really interesting,' was the thought running through Hyson's mind right now.
"Can you give this to her for me?" saying that Cui Xukun extended the parcel towards Hyson.
Looking at the packaging, Hyson could tell that it was food from a famous restaurant. It seemed Cui Xukun did the effort to bring dinner to his tired girlfriend. How sweet!
"Fai, who is it?" came Cloe's voice from inside.
"Your boyfriend," replied Hyson as he stared at Cui Xukun who stiffened when he heard Hyson's reply. He looked up to see Hyson's smirk still intact and didn't know how to react.
"Oh?" responded Cloe and rushed up to the door. She looked at Cui Xukun and asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?" She pulled him inside, "Don't just stand there now. You're already here. Come inside."
While she dragged him in, she really didn't even give him the chance to say anything.
"Your boyfriend brought you dinner," said Hyson as he placed the packed meal on the kitchen counter. "See, how thoughtful he is. He knew you'd be feeling lazy and he brought dinner right to you. Don't forget to say thanks to him."
"Are you teaching me how to treat my boyfriend?" questioned Cloe.
Hyson shrugged as he picked up his cap and mask, saying, "Anyway, I should take my leave now as well. My beautiful ladies must be anxious by now."
"Okay," replied Cloe.
Hyson turned to tease her, "Oh? Before your boyfriend came, you were insisting on keeping me for dinner. And now that you got your boyfriend here, you can't wait to get rid of me? What a loyal fan you are!"
Cloe made a face at him and smiled sweetly at Cui Xukun before she rushed up to Hyson's side and said, "An idol like you should be understanding as well."
"I'm very understanding," replied Hyson as he put on his mask. "And I have no mood of being the third wheeler as well." As he wore his cap, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Don't forget to say thanks to him."
"I know, I know," Cloe was speaking casually but when she saw his suggestive gaze, she hit his arm. "What nonsense are you thinking about? Are you even old enough for this discussion? Go, go home."
Hyson laughed out loud as he left her apartment.
Cloe felt like her cheeks were burning right now. She had to take several deep breaths to calm down before she turned around to walk back to Cui Xukun.
"Why aren't you taking a seat?" asked Cloe when she noticed how he still stood there.
"I just came to bring you dinner," replied Cui Xukun. "I should not stay for long."
Seeing him acting like this, Cloe's brows knitted up. She closed to him and asked, "What's up with you?"
"Nothing," replied Cui Xukun still feeling down. He didn't even know why he was feeling this way but he did. He couldn't help looking at Cloe and thinking whether he really deserved her? Today, for the first time, he realized that he also was such an insecure person.
Cloe took another step closer to him and said, "But I still haven't thanked you for the dinner."
"Huh?" Cui Xukun was dumbfounded. "There is no need for that." He didn't think there was a need for thanks from her. Wouldn't that make them seem even more distant?
Cloe smiled at him as she placed her hand on his chest and said, "Oh, no. I think there is a need for that." Cui Xukun's body stiffened when she placed her hand on his chest. She took another step over and he stepped back. His legs hit the couch and he had nowhere to escape. Cloe's smile widened as she pushed him down making him fall on the couch.
Cui Xukun's eyes widened and before he could react, her lips crashed into his making his eyes pop. His heartbeat was going thump thump so loudly that he could only hear the sound of his heartbeat in his ears. His mind blanked and he felt like his blood was rushing up to his head.
Cloe was taking Raelle's advice very seriously. Especially when Hyson echoed the same thoughts. Besides, it wasn't just because of those two. She really felt like kissing this boyfriend of hers who seemed to love overthinking. His reaction was amusing.
Being still for half a minute, he placed his hand on the back of her head and cooperated with the kiss. Even though his head was feeling in the clouds, he couldn't stop himself from enjoying this moment. The moment that belonged to the two of them. This moment when her breath intermingled with his. Their hearts were beating together.. Their lips were moving in sync.
