Your Distance

18-O XDDD

When Bai Changyi walked out, Ting Shuang suddenly wimped out, “Where… are we going now?”

Bai Changyi said, “Didn’t you offer a personal service?”

Ting Shuang subconsciously glanced at the sky and said, “Isn’t it a bit… too early?”

Bai Changyi said, “It’s not early. Get in the car.”

Not early???

It was four in the afternoon and yet it wasn’t early?

Then how long was his service supposed to last?

Ting Shuang hugged the flowers as he climbed into the car, already feeling like he had a kidney deficiency.(1)

He did not have any deficiencies, Ting Shuang reminded himself. You’re only twenty four years old, you’re young and strong. He’s a whole lot older than you, as old as Lian Po.(2)

“Uh…” Ting Shuang said, “Are we going to your house now?”

Bai Changyi said, “We’re going to the supermarket first.” He glanced at Ting Shuang, reminding him, “Seat belt.”

“Oh oh…” Ting Shuang quickly fastened his seat belt, “What are we doing at the supermarket?”

Bai Changyi said, “Didn’t you say that you wanted to eat sweet and sour pork ribs? We’re going to buy pork ribs.”

The two of them hadn’t reached the stage where they were officially dating, and Bai Changyi had not planned on personally cooking for him, nor had he planned on bringing him home. But he knew the kid was working part-time to make a living; if he threw a tantrum after dinner and insisted on paying separately again, then whatever little he earned working for the day would be gone after two meals. Thus, Bai Changyi decided to cook at home.

“You’re going to cook?” Ting Shuang started looking forward to it, “Let’s cook together. The mushroom grilled fish I make is especially delicious.”

When they arrived at the supermarket, Bai Changyi realised what exactly Ting Shuang’s mushroom grilled fish was: one of those kinds of frozen fish that had been seasoned and prepared with mushrooms, then packed in a tin carton. After buying, you stuff it, together with the tin carton, into the oven and it would be done after 40 minutes.

If it was this kind of mushroom grilled fish, of course it’d be delicious, even if Ting Shuang wasn’t the one to make it.

Ting Shuang was thick-skinned enough to throw two tin cartons of it into the cart.

When they passed a row of freezers, Ting Shuang suddenly spotted some kind of ice cream, and subconsciously stopped to pick up a box, only realising his actions after doing so. Then, he felt a little regretful, so he wanted to put it back. He had remembered what had happened in the past. This kind of ice cream came in boxes of six, and he really liked eating it. But he also felt that ice cream was something only children eat, so he had always asked Liang Zhengxuan to eat it with him. Whenever he bought a box back, he would eat four and Liang Zhengxuan would eat two.

Seeing Ting Shuang’s hesitation, Bai Changyi said, “What is it?”

Ting Shuang shook the box of ice cream at Bai Changyi and asked, “Do you eat ice cream?”

Bai Changyi said, “If you want to eat it, buy it.”

Ting Shuang said, “What about you?”

Bai Changyi said, “I don’t eat ice cream.”

Ting Shuang put the ice cream back in the freezer.

Bai Changyi took the box of ice cream back out and put it in the cart.
