Preparing the ingredients at the tea house, Ai Zhiyi arranged them on the counter in such a neat manner. When Ai Zhiyi counted, he saw that some of the ingredients were running low, and asked Chu Weixu to buy them at the nearest grocery store immediately.
Unfortunately, Chu Weixu was a slacker in the morning, even couldn't be relied on at all. He refused with such stupid excuses that Ai Zhiyi couldn't help but scold him like a stubborn brat.
However, instead of feeling guilty, Chu Weixu giggled as if Ai Zhiyi's words were something to comfort him. He seemed happy to hear Ai Zhiyi say so many things to him. It was ... cute.
Ai Zhiyi jotted down a few lists in a small notebook, placed them near the lined up cups on shelves, saying in an annoyed tone, "Here's the ingredient list. Don't forget to buy them later. I may be back in the evening, so can't stop by the store to buy them."
After the words, Ai Zhiyi took out the notebook in the drawer. He opened it and saw a list of their sales yesterday. As he read the lists, his face suddenly turned sullen. "Apparently not many customers ordered yesterday, huh?"
Chu Weixu confirmed, "Yes, only a few people came and no online orders. Unfortunately, I fainted, so this tea house had to close early." He chuckled softly, continuing, "But, it doesn't matter, though. Morning to noon, I have free time to work on my manuscript so I can send it before it's afternoon."
Ai Zhiyi didn't say anything, but the look on his face already showed his understanding of Chu Weixu's words. Then, he cleared some of the ingredients on the counter, while Chu Weixu just stood beside him watching him take care of some ingredients, and smiled in admiration.
Ai Zhiyi had always been versatile and good at managing everything. He always taught Chu Weixu to choose quality food ingredients and how to process them as he knew that Chu Weixu was a useless person in the kitchen. Chu Weixu didn't even know how to turn on the stove.
From the first time, he started learning to cook, their kitchen had almost caught fire. Ai Zhiyi panicked as they had to pay compensation if that day their stove exploded. So, from then on, he taught Chu Weixu continuously about the procedures in the kitchen. By now, Chu Weixu had gotten better and his cooking didn't have a bad taste either.
Even though Chu Weixu was a person who was very enthusiastic about learning, he would still refuse if Ai Zhiyi asked him to learn some desserts although he was a sweet tooth and truly liked tiramisu. He always reasoned that if he made it, it had a weird taste. But, Ai Zhiyi knew that what he meant was that he only wanted Ai Zhiyi to make a special dessert for him, not for their customers.
Almost every day Ai Zhiyi made a variety of simple cakes from recipes he read or learned through videos.
At first, he always failed, but over time he got used to it and managed to make several kinds of cakes including tiramisu. Besides the supplies in their tea house, he also left them for Chu Weixu.
After all, Chu Weixu never complained about the taste of Ai Zhiyi's cooking, he always thought that Ai Zhiyi prepared food for him with love, so he never felt lacking, unlike Ai Zhiyi who always scolded him if he put in the wrong ingredients.
Chu Weixu smiled unceasingly, looking at Ai Zhiyi with admiration in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Ai Zhiyi noticed Chu Weixu was watching him, so as soon as he finished tidying things up, he turned to Chu Weixu, and said, "You look enjoying yourself. If you don't want to help me, you'd rather sit as a customer than look at me with your lustful eyes, Mr. Smutty Pants."
Chu Weixu grinned, without warning, he pulled Ai Zhiyi's waist so that Ai Zhiyi's slender body was glued to his body.
Squeezing Ai Zhiyi's waist gently, he said in a seductive voice, "It doesn't matter if I'm the only one looking at you like that. But, never let someone else do it."
Ai Zhiyi smirked coquettishly. He wrapped his arms around Chu Weixu's neck and teased him with words, "Why should I dedicate my life to a goddamn gong (attack/seme) like you? Now, I'm completely helpless because of your poison. So, as your responsibility, I ask you to always be by my side to keep me stable."
Chu Weixu, "Hmm?"
Chu Weixu's big hands caressed down into Ai Zhiyi's casual pants.
The lining of underpants that Ai Zhiyi was wearing felt hot every time the big hands moved, making his entire body feel like it was electrocuted, his face turning red instantly.
Then the big hands gripped Ai Zhiyi's buttocks like holding two balls, only it was smaller and less bulky, making Ai Zhiyi's face even redder, and he felt his heart skipping faster.
At this moment, the big hands grew stronger, squeezing Ai Zhiyi's buttocks passionately, making him seem to be lifted by a strange incredible feeling, and involuntarily moaned as the two bulges under their stomachs touched.
Chu Weixu brought his face closer so that their noses seemed to be kissing each other. He moved his face, using his nose as a scent detector on Ai Zhiyi's face. He said in a masculine voice that sounded sensual, "What did you say? Gong? Don't call me gong. Call me husband. Come on, say husband." Each sentence ended with a soft bite on Ai Zhiyi's lips.
Ai Zhiyi tiptoed slightly, then whispered affectionately in Chu Weixu's ear, "My husband ... I love you sso bad ...."
After his words, he instantly kissed the man's lips.
Chu Weixu responded. He opened his mouth for deeper kisses, causing them to drown in a passionate fantasy.
However, as Ai Zhiyi began to drown into deeper and darker depths, his gong didn't even let him by stopping kissing him.
Ai Zhiyi's blushing face looked dazed like a half-conscious person after taking ecstasy. He felt the emptiness on his lips almost driving him crazy, so he was about to kiss Chu Weixu again, but the man avoided him.
On Chu Weixu's face, it was obvious how he was trying to toy with Ai Zhiyi.
"I thought you didn't want to be touched by me this morning. Now, who's flirting first?" The corners of Chu Weixu's lips lifted, revealing a mocking smile at the end of his speech.
Ai Zhiyi's vision became blurry. He tried to think about the words for a moment and wanted to defend himself that Chu Weixu was the one who teased him first and even asked him to lick his like a lollipop.
Yet, he couldn't think of anything any longer. He slowly felt some of his senses go numb and some of them disappear. He suddenly went deaf and forgot about Chu Weixu's words, then tried one more time to kiss the man passionately.
When Ai Zhiyi's lips touched his lover's, Chu Weixu deliberately closed his lips and let Ai Zhiyi do it by himself.
Ai Zhiyi's kisses were soft and seemed amateurish, but it couldn't make Chu Weixu last any longer and immediately one hand grabbed Ai Zhiyi's head so he could enjoy his lips more freely, while the other hand kept squeezing his buttocks.
Ai Zhiyi gripped Chu Weixu's t-shirt tightly, feeling pain on his lips but a pleasure slowly rising in his head that made him not want to stop.
He knew that he had work today and also, they would soon have to open their tea house to customers, but both the lusty man were already too deep in the burning sensation and had difficulty crawling up to the ground, causing them both to lose their minds.
Unfortunately, just as Chu Weixu was about to unzip his pants, the sound of the bell hanging at the entrance rang, a sign that someone was pushing the door open.
The voice immediately dispelled the dirty minds that had been eating away at the heads of both people who were intoxicated with romance.
Ai Zhiyi and Chu Weixu immediately stopped what they were doing and looked down shyly, pretending to be working on something very awkwardly. They couldn't even lift their heads to see who had just ruined their intimate act as if their faces were a reflection of shame itself.
