[BL] Transmigrating into the Reborn Male Lead's Ex-Boyfriend

Ch75 - You're My Boyfriend

His fingers paused, and then, he sent a short message back: I'm busy, won't be able to make it.

Xiao Yuanmu looked away. His gaze was downcast, and Song Xuanhe couldn't tell what he was thinking about.

Minutes ticked on by. The people before them had gradually all made their way inside. Song Xuanhe continued to play on his phone, bored out of his mind, but he was perpetually paying attention to Xiao Yuanmu through his peripheral vision.

The other's eyelashes were downcast, and his sculpture-like profile had a bit of an unhealthy pallor. However, his lips were rosy. Contrasted with his pale visage, they seemed even more beautiful. But, the surrounding lively atmosphere only made him look all the more lonely.

"Xiao Yuanmu."

Song Xuanhe couldn't stop himself from calling the other's name.

Xiao Yuanmu looked up slightly. When he met with Song Xuanhe's eyes, he didn't say a thing. He only stared at him calmly.

Song Xuanhe suddenly didn't know what to say. He looked away, eyes falling back onto his phone as he made idle conversation. "What kind of congee do you want?"

"Seafood congee."

Song Xuanhe paused his swiping. A moment later, he tapped his phone awake after the screen had dimmed. His own eyes were lowered as he said, "I also want that."

"Mn."

Staring at the app icons on the screen, Song Xuanhe feigned nonchalance. "Is work slowing down now?"

When he hadn't heard a reply after a while, Song Xuanhe looked up and met with Xiao Yuanmu's black eyes. He was slightly taken aback and looked away discreetly. His expression was still relaxed though. "Are you done?"

"Yes."

Song Xuanhe's hand tightened around his phone. He couldn't help but scratch at the side of his cellphone. Nails against the fine, long frame, his lips pursed unconsciously. "Then, what do you plan on doing now?"

"Number five hundred and twenty!"

Not hearing Xiao Yuanmu's response, Song Xuanhe looked up and was prepared to ask again. However, he heard a young lady yell again, "Is number five hundred and twenty here?!"

"What's our number?"

Song Xuanhe glanced at it: "520."

Xiao Yuanmu stood up. "Let's go."

The young lady's eyes lit up when she saw the two of them walk over together. "Are you guests number five hundred and twenty?"

Song Xuanhe nodded and handed the slip of paper over to her.

After having confirmed this, the young lady covered her mouth and giggled. "You two must be lovers? Because our restaurant's bosses got together on January 16th, every year on this day, the guests who draw that number will get a free meal. However, if the guests who drew the number happen to be a couple, they have to kiss to get the free meal."

The young lady had a crafty smile on her face as she said this. She looked very cute with that wicked smile on her face, which still had a bit of baby fat. Song Xuanhe raised a brow and said, "Why can't we just eat if we're a couple? You're treating couples differently from single people."

"Well, duh," The young lady smiled, "We have to take care of our single folks. You two make such a handsome and outstanding couple. You should help make things a bit more fair for the single people."

People were already listening in on this conversation. Someone in the line laughed and teased, "You're the one not making this fair, you're just forcing us to eat dog food!"
