81 You Hid I (1/2)

Wait … What?!

Su Yan stared up at Nie Chang, the tears and the worry about how his mother might react completely forgotten. Had his boyfriend of one day just asked to marry him?

Nie Chang smiled wryly. That had probably been too fast? ”Uh … I mean your mother would be alright with it as long as she gets to organize a wedding. So as long as we marry sometime in the future she won't mind that we're a couple.”

Su Yan frowned. Why was Nie Chang backpedaling now? ”So you wouldn't marry me right now?”

Nie Chang sighed. Why was it so difficult to talk with Su Yan since yesterday? He gently cupped Su Yan's cheeks and kissed his brow. ”I would marry you right this instance if you said you wanted. I'm just afraid I'm asking too much. So, let's go over to your parent's first and tell your mother. We can do so right after we've eaten. After that … we'll just do as you say.”

Su Yan couldn't find any fault with that. There was only one thing … ”Do we really have to go right after breakfast?”

”Believe me it's better that way.”

Su Yan wasn't very convinced. He would have much rather waited for a long, long time before he went to confess. But then his mother might find out before he said anything and that wouldn't be good either. No, Nie Chang was right. He should better go and tell her today when there was still the slight chance that she had no idea what the newest conflict between his father and him was about.

Nie Chang could see that he had convinced Su Yan even though his boyfriend obviously wasn't fond of the idea. Well, it was to be expected. If his mother really didn't know this might have been a problem. Not that madam Su was that backward that she wouldn't be able to accept that her son was gay.

”Alright, then come on and eat. It wasn't easy making all this.” He picked up a bowl and handed it to Su Yan, not at all intending to let him go back to his own seat. Ah, he would be dumb if he didn't take advantage of this situation.

Su Yan didn't think much of it. He just picked up the chopsticks and started to eat. Surprisingly, it tasted very good. He pursed his lips and looked up at Nie Chang. ”How is this so good?”

Nie Chang lifted his brows. ”Oh? Is it?”

”Yeah. Did you really cook?”

Nie Chang picked up another bowl and started eating himself. ”Mn, you're right. It's really good.”

Su Yan narrowed his eyes. ”You ordered takeout, didn't you?”

”No. Why would you think so? You even saw me cook.” He motioned at the dishes in the sink.

”You … probably warmed it up?”

Nie Chang coughed. ”Honestly, why would you doubt my capability this much?”

”Because you don't know how to cook. It's impossible you made all of this yourself.” He looked at the bowls on the table. There were three different dishes.
