Sorry for the lateness, I was engrossed in the mess that is the US presidential election....let's just say, I'm highly upset. 

But, this chapter brought my spirit up a bit. Maybe you'll have a nosebleed, maybe you won't lol <3 Have a good night~

As always, THANK YOU for reading and enjoying the journey with our NAUGHTY boys:

Chapter 171: The CALL FINALLY went THROUGH

After constantly being on the move for the entire day outside, Gu Yang finally dragged his exhausted body back home. Entering, he immediately removed his heavy coat and hung it neatly on the clothes rack. As he casually slipped his finger beneath the knot of his necktie and loosened it, he intended to take a nice and hot shower first before anything else.

Passing through the studio, he glanced inside for a moment and noted that Gu Hai was not there. He entered the room for a look around and noticed that the tasks he had given to Gu Hai before he left earlier this morning had already been completed. By now, he figured that Gu Hai must have returned to his own bedroom to rest.

Since everything seemed to have gone smoothly for the day, Gu Yang leisurely entered the bathroom.

Hearing the sound of water splashing about almost sporadically from the bathroom, Gu Hai popped his head out from the kitchen and took a glimpse around. Apparently, the fascist was taking a shower. Thus, for the sake of showing his appreciation toward this lonely man that had spent his entire day bustling about outside, tirelessly getting all his work done, Gu Hai decided that today he will personally cook a delicious meal for him. And at the same time, giving him a chance to experience the warmth of a family.

When Gu Yang was showering, he could smell the savory aroma of a home cooked meal seep through the cracks of the door and into his nostrils. It had the kind of smell that carried with it a motherly touch that had long been absent from his life. Staying abroad for so many years, he had little to no opportunity at all to eat authentic Chinese cuisine. Even if he had the raw ingredients to cook it himself, he was still unable to make that kind of simple yet rich in flavor kind of dishes.

"What's going on today?" Gu Yang wrapped himself in a huge bathrobe and leaned against the kitchen door. Looking a Gu Hai busying himself, he began to scrutinize him, "Are western food that hard to eat? Must be if it forced someone like you to go into the kitchen and cook for yourself."

Even as those words spun around in his ears, Gu Hai continued to methodically handle his task in an orderly manner before calmly stating a simple fact, "I've always cooked my own meals at home."

In regards to this matter, Gu Yang was aware of it to some extent, yet nevertheless, he had continuously maintained a skeptical attitude towards it. But today, his doubts were proven wrong. As he stood there, he actually witnessed the scene of someone's big hands, obviously unsuitable for cooking, handling the kitchen knife with much skill and ease. The sound of the knife hitting the cutting board resounded from the long unused chopping board. A moment later, even and slender slices of cucumber were placed onto the prepared plate beside him.
