2 Jadesea Village (1/2)

Yan Xiu, the boy, frowned in annoyance. He turned around and saw a youth running toward him with a bundle of fish in his hand. Yan Xiu crossed his hand and glared at the youth but it didn't scare anyone, as he's fair complexion and plump cheek negate it all. He only looked like a kid pouting cutely. While his face might not be scary, his cold tone could scare someone.

” what are you doing here? scrounge a free meal again? ” (MC)

The youth, the recipient of the cold voice, wasn't affected by Yan Xiu's word or cold tone. The youth's long black hair glide in the air as he ran toward Yan Xiu. Despite his medium build his muscle was well-defined and his sleeveless robe emphasized his muscular arm, the youth was oozing with manly charm. He smiled and rubbed Yan Xiu's head and spoke affectionately.

” come now, don't put such serious face. It'll ruin your cuteness. Come come. Smile for this brother. ”

The youth tugged the corner of Yan Xiu's mouth with his finger as he showed Yan Xiu a wide smile. Yan Xiu smiled coldly.

” if you're here just for that then scram! Lu Hao, you're here only to scrounge for food right? ” (MC)

The youth, Lu Hao, looked pained and wronged.

” how could you say that? big brother is here because he's worried about you, alright. How can you wrongly accused me like that? ” (LH)

Yan Xiu scoffed at Lu Hao's word. worried? then who was it that come here every time he could? and only came on meal time? shamelessly asking for food and said I was not a good host when I didn't give you any food? Yan Xiu looked coldly at the fishes Lu Hao's brought. Even with his thick face, Lu Hao felt awkward and guilty under Yan Xiu's gaze. Giving up, he raised his hand.

” alright, I did want scrounge for meal but this time I brought my own food okay? I just want you to cook it, it's not too troublesome right? ” (LH)

Said Lu Hao as he showed the fishes in his hand.

” hm! so you know that there is no free lunch in this world. good good, but why should I cook it for you? ” (MC)

” please! it's just cooking some fishes. It's not too much a problem right? little Xiu, please cook it! I'll help you prepare it okay! ” (LH)

The first time Lu Hao tried Yan Xiu's cooking, his stomach fell hard for Yan Xiu's food. So Lu Hao thickened his face and scrounge for food from Yan Xiu at every chance he gets. His stomach could no longer survive without Yan Xiu. Lu Hao put his hand together and mustered all his cuteness as he showed puppy eyes to Yan Xiu.

” don't do that. It's not cute alright. Fine fine, I'll cook it. ” (MC)

Yan Xiu studied the fish in Lu Hao's hand, the light green colored fishes were plump and freshly caught, looking very delicious. Never waste food, it was Yan Xiu way of life.

” let's cook by the river. ” (MC)

Cooking in such a good day, it just have to be outdoor roasting. Beside it was on the way. Ignoring Lu Hao who showed his happiness so blatantly, Yan Xiu ran to his home and packed some spices and a small kitchen knife in small bag before returning.

” let's go. ” (MC)

Said Yan Xiu as he put his hand on the wagon's handle to pulled it.

” little Xiu, let me pull it, you just ride the pig. ” (LH)
