49 A Sweet Confession (1/2)

Su Yan focused on his chocolate. When Nie Chang closed in, he slapped his hands away or lifted his fingers to his lips to shush him when he wanted to speak.

Nie Chang sighed. He really wanted to choke that bastard in the row behind them. That had been the opportunity he had waited for, for so long and that guy had ruined everything!

Nie Chang wasn't the only one who was angry. The two girls behind him were also glaring at the guy. Damn! They nearly would have seen some real-life bl! What was that guy thinking, making such a ruckus? Now the Beauty was being all shy! They observed with sinking moods how Su Yan continued to evade Nie Chang and couldn't help but sigh in resignation. It seemed this had really been a blow to the cute couple!

Nie Chang wasn't willing to give up like this, though. He continued to try his luck without paying heed to Su Yan's reactions. They were using the same workstation. Where could he run off to?

In the end, his effort paid off: Su Yan couldn't keep his 'don't bother me'-attitude up for long. He turned around to Nie Chang and sighed. ”What is it?”

”Have a taste!” Nie Chang held out one of the ingredients.

Even though he had already experienced that it might not be good to take something from Nie Chang, Su Yan still accepted it. ”Mn, not bad.” It was actually almond slivers.

”You like it? Should I take that for the chocolate?” It went without saying that Nie Chang was trying to make a chocolate Su Yan would love.

”Mn … maybe.”

”Maybe?” Nie Chang frowned. That didn't sound too thrilled. Was he still in a bad mood? Or maybe he just really didn't like it too much.

Nie Chang went to take another look at the possible ingredients. Mn, there were indeed better ingredients. Su Yan had a sweet-tooth, that much was for sure. Almonds probably didn't fit him too well. Nie Chang took another glance at his friend and finally decided on some cookies and candied fruits.

He silently went back to the workstation and finished up his work. In the end, he looked at the chocolate in the form and sighed. Once again, he could only wait. It reminded him of the situation with a certain someone.

He glanced over, hid the form and shifted to the place next to Su Yan. ”Finished already?”

”Mn. How is it?” Su Yan proudly presented his finished chocolate: It was formed like a normal block of chocolate and he had only used some crushed nuts as additional ingredients.

Nie Chang smiled. ”Quite tame.”

”Eh! What's tame? This is my first hand-made chocolate. It's great.”

”Everything about you is great.”

Su Yan still beamed but his smile froze a bit. Why did that sentence sound so strange? It was as if they weren't talking about chocolate at all.

”I just would have thought you'd experiment a bit more if we're here already.”

Su Yan pursed his lips and just forgot about what Nie Chang had just said. ”I'd much rather have a tasty chocolate than an exciting one.”
