One Shots - Tian Guan Ci Fu - Heaven Officials Blessing

Jealousy in the Restaurant

Xie Lian and Hua Cheng had decided to walk around the city together with Banyue since they treated her like a daughter. They used to go on these walks when Xie Lian had time off, enjoying the time together.

Xie Lian loved to see the landscapes, the new human inventions and their attractions. He always liked to see the evolution of both minds and customs, he found it simply fascinating.

"Which restaurant does Gege want to eat at today?" Hua Cheng asked, smiling as he watched Xie Lian fascinated by the city's attractions.

"Humm..." He gestured with his mouth while he had his hand on his chin in a thoughtful way "That one over there! Let's go to that one!" He said pointing to a restaurant full of lights and with a peculiar decoration.

Hua Cheng nodded and took Banyue's hand who was between him and Xie Lian.

"Let's go Banyue!" He said affectionately. The girl was the only person Hua Cheng treated with kindness, gentleness and that he truly cared about besides Xie Lian.

Xie Lian, Hua Cheng and Banyue headed towards the door of the attractive and eye-catching restaurant.

"Goodnight. Table for three?" Asked the waitress.

"Yes, please." Xie Lian replied.

The woman nodded, picked up three menus and headed towards an empty table. The three of them followed her and sat at the table. The woman handed the menus to the family and left.

Xie Lian had the impression that the waitress had winked at him, but it must have just been an impression, so he just ignored it.

"What would Banyue want to eat?" Xie asked the girl beside him.

"Hmm..." She gestured thoughtfully with her hand resting on her chin, just as Xie Lian usually does. "The same as Hua Xie!"

Xie Lian let out a small laugh. He liked this nickname, both because it reminded him of the time when Banyue was still a child (which for him she had never stopped being one) and because it reminded him of Hua Cheng, Hua Xie. That name was like a married name, combining his name with his husband's. It was incredibly comical how he would have chosen the name of his future husband.

Hua Cheng, who couldn't stop smiling, after all he finally had the family he always wanted, asked:

"So what will Gege order?"

"Let me see, how about trying a new dish?"

"Great idea Gege. What do you suggest?"

"Um...How about this one?" He said pointing to the special dish on the menu.

"This one is great. So since Gege bothered to choose I'll eat the same one too!"

Xie Lian smiled in response.

"And what are we going to drink? And this time San Lang chooses!" Xie Lian asked with a malicious look towards Hua Cheng and he smiled with amusement.

"Let's see...How about some...wine?" He asked in a challenging tone.

"Why not?" He replied in the same tone.

Before Hua Cheng could respond with another provocation, the waitress returned with some cutlery and plates in her hand.

"Do you gentlemen already know what you're going to order?" She asked as she placed the dishes in front of the customers.

"Yes, three special dishes, two glasses of mellow wine and...Do you also want to drink wine, Banyue?"

Before the girl could respond, the waitress drops a fork and bends down to pick it up with her butt facing Xie Lian especially close.

Xie Lian was in complete shock as was Banyue and the Martial God didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Hua Cheng, on the other hand, managed to beat the record time by changing from a smiling expression to an angry expression.
