108 Solving Another Problem (2/2)

”But why would anyone do that?”

”Because you've done something else before. It's not that uncommon to change genres, is it?”

Su Yan pursed his lips. ”That's true …” But still. He didn't feel quite right with this.

Nie Chang could also see that Su Yan wasn't completely happy with this solution. ”You can also just add some novels first. Nobody can see whether or not you've read them already anyway.”

Su Yan perked up and nodded while shoveling the rice into his mouth. His gaze seemed to say 'What you say makes sense. Please continue!' Nie Chang laughed and kissed his temple.

”You're probably worried because of the genre, right? There's no reason to, actually. There are a few novels that are really popular. You can just add those and people will assume you've read them. And when there's not a task from the system or one that'll take a little longer you can use your time at work and slowly read up on them.”

Su Yan nodded eagerly. All of this was right! ”You're so smart!” he praised between two bites.

Nie Chang smiled indulgently. ”Let me add some things for you while you eat.”

Su Yan continued to nod. Ah, he should treat his boyfriend better! Thinking like that, he put the bowl and the chopsticks down, leaned over and placed a smack on Nie Chang's cheek. At first, he thought he was definitely being cute and Nie Chang would like it. Then he saw the oily stain. Ugh. It seemed eating and kissing didn't work too well together.

He reached over and tried to rub it away but only managed to make it worse. Nie Chang laughed anyway. ”Leave it. It's proof that you love me.”

Su Yan's expression instantly darkened. ”What proof that I love you? Don't even talk about it! I'm here with you. What more proof do you need?!” He stood up and got a paper towel before proceeding to rub at Nie Chang's cheek.

Nie Chang hummed a tune and let him be while he put some of the bl novels he had read into Su Yan's library. Ah, it felt actually quite good being cared for by Su Yan like this. Especially since he was right. What need was there for some proof of love if he was right at his side? Finally, he was at his side and he wouldn't just leave it either.
