33 His Person (2/2)

He picked up his phone and wanted to write Nie Chang when he saw he had gotten a message from him.

[You're praising me too much.]

Su Yan winced. Shit. He had actually put his phone away without waiting for his reply earlier. He looked at the door to the backroom and coughed. Then, as if nothing had happened, he typed in his new message: [Do you still only know how to cook egg fried rice?]

Nie Chang picked up his phone when the screen lit up and snorted. ”You're one to talk. You're even worse than me at cooking.” [What about it?]

[How about learning to cook on that outing?]

Nie Chang lifted his brows. In the end, he put his phone away and left the room. Su Yan was still staring onto his screen, completely oblivious that he had come over.

Nie Chang smirked, silently walked up behind Su Yan and leaned over his shoulder. ”Didn't you get an answer?”, he whispered into his ear.

Su Yan jerked and let go of his phone. Nie Chang caught it while laughing and put it down on the counter. ”So, you want to learn how to cook?”

Su Yan glared at him but nodded in the end. After all, he still remembered that he owed Nie Chang a few thank yous. ”I thought about what we could do but there isn't much that's fun. At least, nothing that we haven't tried yet.”

”So our author is out of ideas?” Nie Chang bent forward and smiled. ”Then how about I choose?”

Su Yan eyed him suspiciously. He wasn't sure if he could trust Nie Chang on this considering how he was looking at him. ”So … you don't wanna learn how to cook?”

”No, it's alright. But we wouldn't need the whole day for that, would we? Let me search for a nice workshop and plan the rest of the day. And you know what? Since I'm paying you anyway from now on I'll even pay for everything we do that day.”

Su Yan lifted his brows. They hadn't talked about how much he would earn when he worked for Nie Chang. He had just trusted him that it would be fair. Nevertheless, it certainly wouldn't be as much as Nie Chang earned as his boss.

He slowly started to smile and stood up fawningly gripping Nie Chang's arms. ”Ah, boss, you're the best! It was definitely the best decision in my life to work for you!”

Nie Chang gritted his teeth. Continue like that and I'll want to kiss you! With a smirk, he looped an arm around Su Yan's waist and pulled him even closer. ”Ah, it's only natural. You're my person now, after all.” And I'll make sure that the next time I say that it won't only be because you're my employee.
