Please Don't Eat Me

Chapter 5

As they always say “three times the charm.” It became almost natural for Ling She to sponge dinner off of Di Xiaoshu.

Di Xiaoshu would always get dragged into the snake’s den for dinner as long as Ling She didn’t have overtime or business dinners.

“You cook so well, Xiaoshu!”

“Xiaoshu, I wanna have bullfrog today~”

“Xiaoshu, I wanna have blander foods these days. My throat’s not feeling well.”

“Oh, don’t call me Mr. Ling~ It’s so standoffish~”

All Di Xiaoshu could do in response to all his overly intimate, thick-skinned and sometimes even cute behaviours was to remain silent while a bead of sweat dripped down his face.

“I knew it. That guy doesn’t think of me as friend. I’m more like a servant who he’s playing with in the meantime.”

Another sleepless night. Little Di Xiaoshu was quietly complaining while nibbling on the edge of his blanket like a burrito wrapped in his blankets.

“Whatever…it’s good enough I’m not hurt…”

But really, his real concerns didn’t stop there.

Aside from the flippant attitude, Ling She’s physical contact also made Di Xiaoshu furious beyond description.

With that said, we must backtrack to the aftermath of the “food delivery.”
Di Xiaoshu was too scared to even look at Ling She when the “dining together“ first began and only kept his head down and shovelled food down his throat.

Ling She would talk to him and he would reply “mhm” or “yes” or some other short responses only when necessary.

In all honesty, Di Xiaoshu just wanted to put a recorder on repeat beside him: “That’s so true, Mr. Ling!” “Long live Mr. Ling!”

Eating dinner with him was like the episode-long-version of the nightmare on the elevator!!

Yet, despite the fact Ling She was Di Xiaoshu’s natural enemy, this thing called time and adaptation worked its magic and soon Di Xiaoshu became brave enough to talk to Ling She.

He was still quite stiff but the longing and inviting face Ling She had on made him less wary.

Of course, that was when things started heading in a weird direction.

Maybe he had been behaving too well or something, but one day Ling She actually invited him to stay for a movie.

Not knowing how to refuse, Di Xiaoshu quietly took a seat on the living room sofa just like how they had taught him in elementary school.

The lights dimmed and the opening theme began to play. Di Xiaoshu watched intently.

But then as the movie went on, Ling She started to edge over from the other end of the sofa….Soon the two were right up against each other.

Ling She put his arm around his shoulder and pinched his cheeks.

“Your skin’s so nice….”

What good mood. What a seductive, husky voice. However, Di Xiaoshu was shaking like a leaf at the end of the sofa.

So I’m actually his popcorn??!!! ╥﹏╥
Of course not.

Ling She wasn’t going to bite down just yet.
