Liu Daxun arranged the set of foods he had prepared on the small dining table in his kitchen. Gu Shan had already settled down after Liu Daxun shoved him away claiming he would handle everything.
After setting everything he began serving the food ,serving Gu Shan's first. Gu Shan enjoyed the princess treatment but he couldn't shake off the gut feeling that there was hidden motive behind his friend's extra nice treatment. He eyed him suspiciously his eyes studying Liu Daxun's smooth hand movements. Maybe his friend was just being nice considering he had moved in recently. He still saw him like some guest. Liu Daxun settled down across from his friends picked up the necessary cutlery before raising his eyes only to meet his friend's intense gaze.
"Is the food not to your liking?"Liu Daxun asked in concern looking at his friend who had barely touched his food.
"No it's nothing,"Gu Shan replied curtly and without hesitation he shoved some rice with chopsticks as his friend watched him eagerly waiting for his review on the food.
"How's the food?"Liu Daxun asked immediately.
"Not bad. It's edible."
"I'm glad it is,"Liu Daxun replied with a soft smile."You should eat more then ,"he added.
"Mm."
They suddenly became silent only the click sounds of spoons and chopsticks getting in contact with the porcelain bowls was heard.
"ShanShan?"Liu Daxun called out softly breaking the silence.
"What?"Gu Shan asked gazing at his friend intently.
"Can you do me a favour? Hui-ge invited me to their house for a movie night and he asked me to go with you . I know you dislike interacting with strangers but I promised I would take you there so can you please go with me?"Liu Daxun asked pleadingly.
Gu Shan let out an exasperated sigh and Liu Daxun frowned knowing what his answer would be.
"It's okay you don't have ..."
"I'll go with you."Gu Shan interrupted,"Besides I haven't watched in a really long time."
"I promise it'll be fun. Hui-ge knows how to choose the best movies,"Liu Daxun said unable to contain his excitement.
After dinner they cleaned the dishes together before heading out to their friends' house.

"Hui-ge,"Gu Shan and Liu Daxun said in unison and bowed simultaneously.
Xiao Hui ushered them in and led them into the living room. Compared to Xiao Hui's apartment,theirs had a spacious living room which was occupied by a three seater couch at the centre,a large table with armchairs on either sides of the table. Directly across from the three seater couch,a large TV was hanging on the wall.
Liu Daxun and Xiao Hui sat next to each other on the three seater couch while Gu Shan always caring about his personal space,he opted for one of the armchairs. Xiao Hui had prepared everything and was only waiting for them to show up. Just then Li Yunxi broughts two sets of popcorns served in glass bowls. He handed the two bowls to Liu Daxun and Xiao Hui. He then went back to the kitchen and on his return he broughts two other bowls of popcorn and handed one to Gu Shan.
Gu Shan picked a few of the popcorns and inaudibly moaned at the wonderful taste of the caramel flavoured popcorns. He munched on the popcorns but stopped to stare at the TV screen immediately the movie started. He was used to watching alone on his laptop and he was unsure the kind of movie they had chosen would suit his taste.
Liu Daxun and Xiao Hui shifted in their seats settling to a more comfortable position.
A well built half naked man walked into a room illuminated with red neon lights. A woman dressed in sexy lingerie lay pliant in bed. The man shifted in his gaze towards her and walked towards her like a predator ready to pounce on its prey. Without hesitation,the man hovered over her and began kissing her wildly tearing off the net like lingerie from her body exposing her. As the scenes progressed to more mature ones,Li Yunxi kept stealing glances at the guy seated across from him as a familiar scenario replayed in his head.
When Gu Shan deciphered the sounds of moans coming from the TV screen,it suddenly dawned on him- they were watching porn. This wasn't a normal movie night where they would watch some western science fiction movie. He had never exposed himself to such explicit content before. Glancing at the trio,they seemed to be enjoying their so called movie night. He couldn't believe that guys would settle down to watch such things together.
"I'll go get some water,"Gu Shan choked out with difficulty and disappeared from the room . He followed his instincts and was able to located the kitchen. He opened the fridge in the kitchen and spotted the glass jug with a colourless liquid in it. He took out the jug and picked a glass and poured himself some water. His cheeks were flushed red probably because he was embarrassed from the content he had just watched.
"You don't watch porn?"An approaching deep voice asked and he instantly turned around to face the owner of the voice.
"Who said so?"Gu Shan questioned back boldly trying to hide his embarrassment.
For boys of his age it was regarded normal to watch such content and he was afraid Li Yunxi would judge him for being abnormal that he had never laid his eyes on porn.
"Seems like you've never watched. But I'm quite surprised with your skills in bed from that day given that you've never watched porn ,"Li Yunxi teased him lowering his voice to a sexy sultry tone and smiled mischievously.
"You!..."Gu Shan cursed under his breath and for a minute he lost his composure. He would definitely not the guy have his way with him. His lips twisted into a sly smile when he thought of a way to counter him,"I don't have to watch porn to gain experience in bed. My skills are a natural porn,"Gu Shan declared confidently and marched his way out of the kitchen leaving a smiling Li Yunxi.
When Gu Shan walked back to the living room,he noticed the couple on the screen had changed. He took out his phone and began looking at updates on social media. However he lost his concentration thinking about the sudden urge to become shameless whenever Li Yunxi appeared before his eyes. Why was he behaving that way with him?
