Good Morning, Miss Undercover (ENG VER)

29

When Kang Zixian opened the door, I was squatting by the door near the wall with my chin propped up in my hands. My eyes penetrated into the surrounding darkness, thinking of the shiny crispy chicken thighs.

A bite of that chicken thigh would be delicious.

Unfortunately, in the middle of the night, those lovely chicken would be sleeping covered under their quilts but I was still awake with my eyes wide opened.

I could forget about my hunger but there was something more serious. What was I doing in the middle of the night, squatting in front of the man's door and shouting? .........

Of course, all I wanted was to be vexatious, to rile up his anger so that he would not be at peace, greatly reducing his impression of me and to dampen his interest in me, right?

But why do I think that I am foolish and why am I acting like a silly fool?

"What's the matter?" Kang Zixian was awakened by my antics, his voice with a light lazy low tone sounded above my head. In the silent night, listening to his voice, my body trembled slightly.

Feeling a little embarrassed, I continued to act the ruffian, squatting and playing with my thumb and said in a roguish tone. "Let me have the wallet. I want to go out and buy chicken thighs. I'm hungry."

Once the words left my mouth, it could be my dog nose was too sensitive, I could feel there was a hint of coquettishness in my words. Afraid that he would misunderstand, quickly I twisted around and said. "I mean, my wallet."

It was late at night and my courage had also gone down a bit, then the words tumbled out of my mouth. "Like the old saying.....Gold nest or silver nest cannot be compared to a dog's kennel* (No place like home). Although here it is like the golden throne room but I can't sleep at ease and also feel hungry or.......or else I can go back tomorrow and break the door lock. I......"

"Hungry?" Kang Zixian who was standing by the door suddenly took a step forward. I was stunned and glared at him but he calmly sat down beside me. Leaning against the wall, he turned around and looked at me with a smile. "Are you a weasel? In the middle of the night, you are still thinking about chicken thigh? I think in the whole city, you are the only one."

In the darkness of the night, under faint lights, I could see the captivating, breathless shine in his eyes.

There was a slight smile at the corners of his mouth, focused his eyes on mine and smiled with a warmth which was mesmerizing. I felt all my souls were being sucked into his charming eyes, falling into eternal disaster.

My heart suddenly missed a beat.

I was confused and startled. If I carried on, I would be able to dampen Kang Zixian's feelings for me but just as I had suppressed his feelings for me, the next second my feelings for him grew........

Amitabha, unrequited love is a terrible thing.....Oh no!.....

".........No, I don't want to eat. I'm going back to sleep." I stammered and was about to stand up and leave when Kang Zixian grabbed hold of my hand, turned me around and looked at me. "I'm also hungry. Go down and change. Let's go out and eat something."

I was still in a daze. He stood up, bent over and pulled me up. He smiled and said. "Are you sure you want to break the door lock? Do you want the key master to see your garbage dump? I will blush on your behalf."

My face was red and just as I was about to retort when he spoke first. "Let me be the only one to see your garbage dump and have mercy on other people." He gave me a push. "Go and change. We will go out to eat then come back to sleep. I'm really crazy to go out with you in the middle of the night to look for the chicken thighs."

After I had changed and was standing by the door, I pinched myself on the face. I felt the pain and was sure I was not dreaming. Kang Zixian was really going out with me to look for the chicken thigh.

Strange.

I knitted my eyebrows and thought........am I, the weasel or is it him......and then who is the chicken thigh?

For this problem, I did not dare to look for the answer.

Kang Zixian walked down the stairs wearing a white shirt with a black coat, looking calm and chic, with a brown sports jacket draped over his arm. He threw the coat over to me and said. "It's cold at night, wear this."

The next moment, I was dumbfounded and looked straight at him, horrified to find my feelings for him had grown an inch.

His mother........suddenly I realized that he was very considerate.

But I was still stubborn. "I don't want. Why should you dress so nicely and I had to wear this? I don't want to be the green leaves to set off you, the safflower."

I threw the jacket back at him, crossed my arms over my chest and looked at him. "I say, Kang Zixian, you dressed up so nicely in the middle of the night, who do you intend to seduce?"

He smiled. "If I say to seduce you.....would you believe it?"

"Huh......no."

"I don't even have a mother cockroach here except you, who else....."

I answered sharply. "You, you, you......you actually dare to say that I am the mother?"

He declined to comment, his eyes showing laughter.

Drooping my shoulder, I sighed. "Okay.....you win. I'm really......the mother."

Kang Zixian laughed happily. The next second he took hold of my hand, opened the door and dragged me out.

Suddenly I realized that I was the fat, oily chicken thigh.....the chicken with its fate full of trouble and misfortune.

Staring at the back view of the man with his natural expression, suddenly a question flashed across my mind: This weasel......is he hungry?

Luckily my confusion was soon answered. In a 24-hour fast food outlet, under the bright lights of McDonald's, my hands were holding a greasy fried chicken. With obsolete table manners, eating by the mouthfuls, I cheerfully finished the fried chicken.

Kang Zixian sitting opposite me was slowly drinking his milk elegantly. In contrast, I was eating with my head of messy hair, bowed down, looking at the chicken like a hungry animal that had gone without food for the last three days.

This petty ghost of a man only bought me two pieces of chicken, saying that eating such greasy food in the middle of the night was unhealthy. I pursed my lips and agreed with him since I was penniless.

After eating, I threw away the chicken bones. Feeling uneasy, I had to ask him or else I would not be able to sleep tonight. Unable to control myself, I blinked my eyes and asked. "I say, we had spent half a day together, you.......that to me....uh, that......your impression of me.......is it any worse?"

I waited anxiously for his answer.

Kang Zixian lazily took a glance at the silhouette of the few people outside the huge glass window and then turned around to look at me. With his eyes like stars, smiled lightly and nodded his head. "En, a lot worse."

I felt a big heavy stone lifted from my heart.

Amitabha, I.....this beautiful chicken thigh had escaped from death.

Suddenly, I clutched his hand with my outstretched greasy hands and almost in tears, said. "Kang Zixian, you are so good. I'm really so grateful to you."

Kang Zixian frowned and looked at his hands that were clasped in my greasy hands. His hands were stained with grease and with a dark expression, he said. "Fang Liang Liang, if you do not let go of my hand, I will not guarantee that my impression of you will not improve."

Feeling scared, quickly, I let go of his hands and giggled at him foolishly.
