Chapter 473 – BAI ZE’S VISIT
SHEN JI YUN wondered what Bai Ze wanted to talk about. But he still agreed and told the other that he could come here anytime. The tone of his message was a bit serious. So, what he wanted to speak to him about might be really important.
He walked out of his room and went to the kitchen. Thinking that he could make a pizza while waiting for Bai Ze. He was currently alone at the house right now since his uncle was at his company. So, one pizza was probably enough for the both of them.
He took out the ingredients he needed from the pantry and began his preparation. The Bai family's house was not that far from their house. Once the pizza was done, Bai Ze would probably be here.
While kneading the dough, he wondered when he would be able to cook for Luo Yan. It would be great if his rabbit could taste his cooking. He was quite confident with his cooking skills. Maybe if Luo Yan had a taste of his cooking, it would be a plus point for him.
But that chance could probably only appear once Luo Yan started going to university here. Which was next year. He couldn't believe that there's still about 11 months before that. No- maybe 10, since most universities required freshmen to report to school a month before the semester began. It's because of military training that every freshman had to experience at the start of their university life. T University was no different.
But 10 months was still a long way to go. If only time could go faster.
He wondered if he was being too impatient. But even if he wanted to or not, he should be. After all, Luo Yan was still only 17. It's not as if he could really do anything. And by 'anything' he meant confessing his feelings.
He asked Bai Ze when was Luo Yan's birthday. He did it way before he even realized his feelings for the other. It could be seen just by that that he had long fallen in love with Luo Yan. He's just too dense to realize it quickly. Anyway, Luo Yan's 18th birthday was in December. He should at least wait until that.
After Shen Ji Yun flattened the dough, he started putting various toppings on it – pizza sauce, cheese, pepperonis, mushrooms, bell peppers, olives. Then he carefully put it inside the pre-heated oven. Now, he just had to wait for it to cook.
When the timer of the oven went off, he heard the doorbell ringing. It was probably Bai Ze. So, his guess was right.
He quickly took the pizza out if the oven first before walking to the door. He opened it and, just as he expected, Bai Ze was standing there.
"Yo," the other greeted.
"Come in," he said.
Shen Ji Yun let Bai Ze inside and closed the door.
Bai Ze quickly smelled a delicious scent once he entered inside. He turned to his friend, "Did you make pizza?"
Shen Ji Yun nodded. "It's in the kitchen."
Bai Ze had been here numerous times, so he already knew his way around. He easily went straight to the kitchen and saw the pizza on the bar counter. His eyes brightened. Knowing that it was made by Shen Ji Yun, he was sure that it would definitely taste good.
He dashed forward and sat on the counter. He was about to take a slice when Shen Ji Yun stopped him.
"Wait. Let me slice it first."
Shen Ji Yun opened one of the kitchen cabinets and took out a pizza cutter. Then he proceeded on slicing the pizza into six equal parts.
Bai Ze couldn't wait and picked one slice. He almost dropped it because it was too hot. So, he was forced to just put it back.
"That's what you get for being too greedy," Shen Ji Yun commented with an indifferent face.
Bai Ze pouted. "You could have warned me."
Shen Ji Yun only looked at him as if saying 'wouldn't that already be a given?'. So, Bai Ze just decisively shut up and blew on that slice before picking it back again. He bit on the slice and, just as he expected, it was delicious.
Shen Ji Yun leaned back on the opposite kitchen counter. "So, what is it you want to talk about?"
Bai Ze finished eating the slice of pizza first. He actually wasn't sure how to open this discussion to Shen Ji Yun. Because if his assumption was wrong, then wouldn't he just offend him? But then, what if he's right? He wasn't sure how he would react to that.
But he still needed to know the answer. So, he took a deep breath and just simply dived into it.
"Ji Yun, I want to ask you something and I hope that you will answer it truthfully."
Shen Ji Yun nodded as an answer.
"Do you like Xiao Yan?" he asked straightforwardly. "And I meant that in a romantic sense."
Shen Ji Yun was surprised to hear that question. He was speechless for a second. And then he looked down. He wasn't sure how he should answer that question. But the first thing that came to his mind was – was he really that obvious with his feelings that even Bai Ze had noticed it?
It wasn't just Bai Ze. Even Su Yuqi noticed it. Heck, Luo Yan's brothers probably also noticed that, that's why the two kept on treating him like the enemy. At this point, he probably wouldn't be surprised if he found out that even Luo Yan himself knew about it.
At this rate, he probably didn't need to wait until Luo Yan turned 18 before he was forced to confess his feelings.
He was thinking if he should be honest with his answer. But he felt like if he didn't, he wouldn't only be lying to Bai Ze, he would also be lying to his own feelings. Like he was ashamed of his feelings for Luo Yan.
He raised his head and looked straight at Bai Ze. "Yes, I like Yan Yan. No, scratch that. I'm in love with him."
