C.6 First Transmigration Arc 1: LiJu's Perseverance

Liju had arrived at the front of his apartment, he put his password and fingerprint on the lock as he opened the door. The scents of delicious food meet his nostrils making his mouth water and his stomach to grumble. He went inside hurriedly as he took off his shoes and coat, leaving it on the rack. As soon as he went inside, LiJu heard footsteps nearing the doorway, he did not bother to look up as he already knew who it was.

"Welcome home LiJu~!" Zhou XiuYing, it was actually YeBai on Act, says with an excited tone evident on his voice with a hint of shyness. (Tsk the prick did not even bother saying anything back) YeBai thought. LiJu sniffs the air as his stomachs protest, he finally looks at Zhou XiuYing who was fidgeting his fingers as his cheeks starts to tint of pinkish blush while looking down on the floor. LiJu's eyes darken on Zhou XiuYing's provocative outfit, not really provocative but Zhou XiuYing was wearing his T-shirt as his clavicle and smooth shoulder was showing made him feel things.

Zhou XiuYing felt his piercing stare on his body, as if undressing him with his eyes only. Inside YeBai was feeling disgusted and annoyed at the man but of course he's acting as the client right now. The said Zhou XiuYing dares to look up at LiJu meeting his heated eyes, making 'him blush' even more.

"Uh-- I cook some food...I- I hope you don't mind" Zhou XiuYing stutters, his eyes staying on the ground with occasional glances from the Male Lead. His blush intensifies in ' embarrassment '. Zhou XiuYing took the brief case of LiJu's hand and walked out of the awkward situation. Zhou XiuYing put it on the sofa as he felt an intense gaze following him. Well especially on his legs and butt which made him curse internally as he forgot that he was still on his boxers that hugged his butt shape pretty good. Now he knows why the others keep looking at him like that, wearing LiJu's t-shirt as it hangs loosely on his painted white shoulder with only tight boxers, showing his white legs with his violet and redish bite marks that are still healing.

Really, he's already seducing him without even trying. Well, except for the video he sent LiJu. His only excuse for that, so that he and LiJu could eat already. He doesn't know why but his guts was telling him that cooking and waiting for LiJu to eat together will make everything easier for him.

Zhou XiuYing made his way back to the table to put the glasses and juice on the table, soon after he heard the other walks towards the dining area, well behind him. He felt large and slightly calloused hands on his thin waist, rubbing on his waist temptingly which made him gulp a mouthful of saliva when he remembered the night they spent almost last two days ( almost 200 years in his point of view to be exact ).

LiJu leans on Zhou XiuYing's body as he kisses his white neck that has a handprint from the other, LiJu kisses Zhou XiuYing's neck as if he was apologizing for being to hard on him last time, which made Zhou XiuYing blush to his ear tips.

Zhou XiuYing turned around to face the larger man who was still on his white sleeves and slacks. The three buttons to his neck were undone showing his muscled chest. Zhou XiuYing's eyes landed on his chest at first before he looked up at the man who was smirking at him. LiJu saw how Zhou XiuYing stares at his chest which made him glad inside that he unbutton his sleeves first. The said man tried to steal a kiss from the smaller one's pink lips by leaning down but the other stopped him. Zhou XiuYing's hands were covering his tempting lips as his blushes just intensified. If earlier he looked like a tomato, now he looks like a ketchup on how red he looked right now. He avoided the Male Lead's eyes as he stutters " T-The food!" he shouts in embarrassment, as if he just realize on what he just did, he leans on the LiJu's hard chest —his hand still on the other's lips — attempting to hide himself from the embarrassment, " The food...it'll get cold sooner" he mutters quietly. LiJu looked at the small man that was hiding on his chest with amusement in his eyes.

"You cooked this?" He asked instead as the other, who was still hiding, nodded his head " I just thought of cooking something for y-you and... uh- It's getting cold outside.. I hope you like it, since this is the first I cooked for you" Zhou XiuYing said as the last sentences came out in a whisper but LiJu still heard it.

LiJu's heart thumps as how Zhou XiuYing acts so cutely in front of him. He never saw or noticed Zhou XiuYing being so thoughtful and so submissive that his presence made him fidget and feel shy. Was it because of the last deed they do?

LiJu chuckles at the small rabbit that was on his chest. He removes the hands on his lips and puts them on his shoulders, he lifts up Zhou XiuYing's chin to give a peck to that pink plump of his. A small smile came out of LiJu's mouth as he hugged the smaller one. " Thank you for being thoughtful "

Zhou gently gets off of the other's embrace as he removes his apron and makes his way to his seat. He serves food to Yang LiJu first, wonton soup, a sweet and sour chicken and some mashed potato, he also serves him a freshly squeezed juice before he gets his own food. Yang LiJu watches the other whose cheeks still a bit pink as he serve him LiJu's food

' So cute ' he can't help but think as he smiled in appreciation to the other, muttering thank you as the other nodded, Zhou XiuYing's focus was on the food already. LiJu chuckles when he notices that as he lifts up his spoon and took a taste of the soup Zhou XiuYing made.

" This tastes good! I did not know you can cook so well " LiJu commented in surprise, well he really did not think he could cook so good that was on par with 5 star rated restaurants he ever visited, truthfully his sweet and sour chicken was actually better than anything he ever tasted. "I - I actually cook for myself everyday, and I followed my mom's cookbook, so it's all thanks to her..." he said as he still avoids the other's eye while he speaks and eats.

Of course LiJu notices the abnormality of his personality and asks " Is there something wrong? I noticed that you keep avoiding eye contact as much as possible since earlier. '' LiJu can't help but ask as a small frown starts to form on his face. Zhou XiuYing was startled at that and blushed even more, he waved his hands in front of him as he shook his face. " No! ...I mean no. It's just that after that...time, this is the first time we meet again. I can't help but be embarrassed at how I acted back then" Zhou XiuYing admits with a small voice and head down. LiJu, who did not expect that answer, laughed out loud and said " that was two days ago, and besides we do it thrice a week for 3 years already and even when we first did it ,it barely bothers you. " LiJu said as he shook his head

" I know that... it's just that the last we did it was.. different than usual, I can't help but t-to want more. ``The last part came out as a whisper but LiJu got the gist of it. His eyes darken as if he was looking at a prey in front of him. Zhou XiuYing catches his gaze of course and panicked, he really did not want 'that' to happen again. His eyes went wide and seemed to know what would happen if he did not soothe the other's raging lust.

"LiJu, I-I don't want to do it today...my back still hurts from before so can we watch some movies after this instead?" Zhou XiuYing said almost hurriedly and looked at the other with pleading eyes, LiJu who was not actually a heartless and pervert man who only thinks with his junior down there, nodded and forced himself to calm. He continues to eat the wonton soup first and the sweet and sour chicken before he finishes up his favorite mashed potatoes. Zhou XiuYing sighs in relief as he also finishes up his own meal.

Today LiJu's perseverance was put into test

On the other hand, Sullivan looked at his host's amazing acting skills with an expression as if he just ate a poop. He did not even recognize the other as how he was good at acting. So to forget what he just saw, he turned off the gadget where he was able to see his hosts' progress and 'adventure' .

" I think I just saw a monster that was doing something so cringey " he sighs and slump on the soft ball of cloud like sofa. He took a book from his own space and continues to read it. Leaving his master to do his job without getting supervised because he trusts his host that he would be able to do it by himself, well unless the other contacts him, of course he will answer because he is a good system after all.
