How To Say I Love You [BL]

Chapter 5《Hard To Wait On》

TRANSLATOR'S NOTE:

Update: Still unedited, but I’ve decided to add the chapters to Novelupdates anyway because I probably won’t get around to editing in the near future. I’ll just leave a small note in the beginning of each chapter if it’s unedited and probably edit it all later when the novel is completely translated. Edited chapters usually have a whole load of unnecessary translation notes. Note: I’m using the word “edit” really loosely, to me it just means that it hasn’t been translation checked with the original and edited to my satisfaction – the writing has still been proofread and should all be grammatically correct (or at least I hope it is).

Xiao Jiashu endured, with much difficulty, until break time. Just as he was about to find a cafe to pass the time, he was stopped by Fang Kun, who said that Ji Mian was inviting him out for a meal. It was a superior’s invite. How could Xiao Jiashu refuse? But when they arrived at their destination, Xiao Jiashu’s complexion instantly changed.

As a movie emperor, the places that Ji Mian frequented were all high-class places with strong secrecy and security. This Western restaurant was an internationally famous brand name, personally endorsed by a Michelin chief, and the food was extremely delicious. But that wasn’t main point right now. The main point was what was currently placed right in front of him, this medium-done slab of beef-steak… Xiao Jiashu had previously spent a good number of months at home eating fried potato chips, instant noodles, rubbish (unhealthy) snacks like spicy sticks every day. His mouth had around seven to eight ulcers. Don’t even mention meat, it was even torture to drink water. He could already imagine, when that super chewy and super coarse beef enters his mouth and chaf, chaf, chaf… against his open wounds… that unprecedented wonderfully painful feeling.

As he was only a little sprout in the workplace, and was in front of his great BOSS, Xiao Jiashu forcibly pushed down the fear induced by his mouthful of ulcers, tremblingly cut a piece of steak and put it into his mouth, pretending to chew it as he normally would. He thought that he had concealed it very well, but in Ji Mian and Fang Kun eyes, his expression looked as though he was eating poison.

“The steak doesn’t fit your taste buds?” Ji Mian asked warmly.

“Not at all, it’s utterly delicious!” Xiao Jiashu immediately waved his hand in disagreement, then forced the meat down his throat without chewing it up, his eyes and eyebrows all scrunched together as one.

Ji Mian: “…”

Fang Kun smiled and tried to tide things over, “Do you drink wine? This restaurant’s red grape wine is quite good, Want to try?”

Wine? That, which as soon as it enters his mouth will burn his ulcers like sulfuric acid and cause so much pain he’d wish he was dead? That wine? Xiao Jiashu’s heart wept tears, but his mouth stretched up into a smile, “Okay, thank you, Kun-ge.”

Fang Kun poured a cup of red wine for both Ji Mian and Young Master Xiao. He was just about to use the wine as a bridge to start chatting about signing under him, when he saw the Young Master Xiao’s face reveal a sinister expression, before rapidly lowering his head.

“What’s up? The wine doesn’t suit your taste buds? Ji Mian looked at him with a smile.

“Not, at, all! It, is, utter, ly, deli, cious!” Young Master Xiao was already in so much pain he couldn’t even talk smoothly anymore; his face was blacker than the bottom of a saucepan.

Ji Mian: “…”

Fang Kun laughed. “If you like it, then drink up.” After he spoke, he helped pour Young Master Xiao another glass of wine.

Xiao Jiashu, who would rather suffer than to lose face, felt almost as if a day was passing by like a year; his hand holding the glass was currently shaking. He vowed, So long as I can walk out of this restaurant alive, I will never eat rubbish snacks ever again. Just when his heart was emitting an intense SOS signal, a middle aged woman around forty walked over. She first greeted Fang Kun and Ji Mian, and then intimately pinched Xiao Jiashu’s face with her fingers. “Lil’ Sapling, you returned to the country but still didn’t think to come visit your Aunty Su?”
