267 The Biggest Treasure (1/2)

Nie Chang had more than just a bit of trouble balancing two portions of noodles to a table in a corner with his boyfriend clinging to his arm at the same time. He couldn't shake his little darling off though and having him carry one of the bowls was even more unthinkable.

Ah, he should have taken him somewhere else to eat! Although he had no idea why Su Yan was acting so strangely since they got here. He couldn't help but take another look at his darling's face when they had managed to make their way over to a free table. His eyes were still darting around and seemingly randomly locking onto people before slipping to the next one. He looked as if he was afraid or maybe just suspicious of them.

Nie Chang shook his head. Well, he shouldn't have expected anything else from Su Yan. He probably wasn't too comfortable in this kind of small restaurant at the side of the road. Even though he had needed to pay all his bills himself for the last few, he still had the mindset of a wealthy person. Most likely, he was afraid someone could mug them.

Nie Chang put the bowls down and wanted to sit down on one side of the table but just when he moved a certain someone slipped onto the bench. Nie Chang raised his brows. Alright? Maybe he had done something wrong and didn't deserve this place. Who knew?

He went to the other side and took a seat there. As soon as his bottom touched the wood though, a small person was clinging to his arm with one hand while pulling the second bowl of noodles over with the other.

Nie Chang turned to look at his boyfriend who was trying to separate his chopsticks with one hand. ”Ah Yan … What do you think you're doing?”

Su Yan looked up with furrowed brows and pursed his lips. ”They won't come off.” He lifted the culprits, clearly waiting for some help.

”Maybe it would work better if you used two hands?”

”It wouldn't!”

Nie Chang sighed, took the chopsticks from him and separated them before giving them back. ”Here. Now, will you tell me why you're so on edge?”

Su Yan took the chopsticks and happily reached toward his bowl. He had to stop halfway though. With a frown, he looked accusingly at Nie Chang's arm before looking up at his face. ”Ah Chang, can't you come a little closer? I can't reach the bowl.”

”Why would you even want to eat while linking arms? Just let go.”

His little darling's expression suggested that his idea wasn't as good as he had thought.

Nie Chang sighed once again. ”Ah Yan, just what is going on?”

”Maybe we could change seats? Then you could take my other arm while I eat.”

Nie Chang rubbed his brow. Alright, there was no use in trying to talk to him if he was like this. He got up, pulled his left arm from his darling's grasp and made him sit down again before surrendering his right arm to him.
