Ahem, as expected.
No need to picture the scene of Chu Xiao making breakfast.
Ling Fan sighed in his heart. He didn't know if he should be disappointed or glad that he wouldn't eat any dark cuisine.
"What? You got a problem?" Seeing Ling Fan's lowered eyes, Chu Xiao was slightly stunned, then raised his eyebrows and asked with a loud voice.
"Ahem, no," Ling Fan replied, and then added, "Definitely not."
"What do you want to eat then?"
"Mm…" Ling Fan thought for a moment and then said, "Bean milk, crab soup dumplings, Crispy sesame scallion crepe, boiled pork giblets with baked wheaten paste….and…"
Listening to Ling Fan’s blah blah blah, Chu Xiao couldn't help but twitch.
"In a hurry for reincarnation? Or don’t want to be a hungry ghost?" Throwing him a glance, Chu Xiao said casually, but the corner of his mouth was unconsciously curved.
Because what Ling Fan just listed was actually all what he liked eating when living here.
However, when it came to takeout, Chu Xiao thought of a serious problem.
"Wait for me for a sec," Chu Xiao said as he took out a suit of clothes from his wardrobe.
“Are you leaving?” Seeing Chu Xiao put on his clothes like he was going to leave, Ling Fan was stunned and asked.
"Buy breakfast for someone who is afraid of starvation," Chu Xiao said faintly.
"Huh?"
"My phone is out of power, and you forgot to take your phone..." In fact, Ling Fan didn't have a charger suitable for his phone at home, so, if he didn't go downstairs to buy food, should they eat air?
"Besides, your computer…can't even browse webpages," Chu Xiao frowned and said.
Even if it was a second-hand modified computer, it shouldn’t be that he couldn’t even open a webpage.
Just now, when Chu Xiao was just about to go online to order takeout food, he found that Ling Fan's computer could do normal work like making financial investments, but only unable to open any website.
"Urgh…it got infected by virus," Ling Fan said in a muffled voice. Last time, Lei Wu used to browse those indescribable pages…
However, he was someone who had lived for extra ten years in his previous life. Would he not know what would happen in this world in advance? Did he need to browse any websites?
Moreover, in order not to leave too many traces on the Internet and get found, Ling Fan rarely used the internet function besides using this computer for financial investments.
And after Lei Wu got it infected, Ling Fan directly set up a program to close the browsing function.
Wait!
Ling Fan was suddenly stunned there.
It seemed like this was not the main point of the problem…
How did Chu Xiao turn on his computer? He remembered that he had set up the password.
Chu Xiao turned on his computer, which meant that Chu Xiao knew his password?
Thinking of this, Ling Fan suddenly felt quite awkward.
Rarely seeing an awkward and uncomfortable expression on Ling Fan's face, Chu Xiao couldn't help but smile, "What? You still don't want me to know that your password is my birthday?”
"No…" Ling Fan said in a muffled voice.
"Ahem, well, you don't have to go down. Uh, I mean, you don't have to go down to buy breakfast," Ling Fan coughed dryly and tried to switch the topic.
Fine. Chu Xiao buying him breakfast really made him feel flattered, however…
"There’s a spare phone at home," Ling Fan added.
“Where is it?” Hearing that, Chu Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked, which meant he had accepted Ling Fan's change of topic.
"In the drawer under the computer desk, the key…it’s in the box above," Ling Fan said.
His own drawer still had to be locked? Against thieves or him?
Chu Xiao complained in his heart.
Then, according to what Ling Fan said, Chu Xiao quickly found the key.
The moment he opened the drawer, Chu Xiao's mouth twitched again.
He finally knew why Chen Feng had been searching for so long but still couldn't confirm the identity of this little bastard, who used to be 'Fan Ming'. For ordinary people, who would put a spare phone of the same model at home, which had been modified…
However, Chu Xiao's attention was soon attracted by something else in the drawer.
A photo frame?
To be precise, it was a photo frame with his photo.
He did not expect this little bastard to have his photo…
With his back against Ling Fan, Chu Xiao smiled.
However…
Fine, let go of him.
In order to give Ling Fan some face and not make him embarrassed again, Chu Xiao put the photo frame back into the drawer, pretending not to see it.
Then he picked up the phone and ordered takeout.
“Done?” Seeing Chu Xiao hang up the call, Ling Fan raised his eyebrows and asked.
As for the thing that Chu Xiao found in the drawer.
Ahem, he really forgot.
Last time, little Lei Lei held it and asked him about it, he didn’t know how to explain, so he just locked it in the drawer…
"Yeah."
"Then let's continue the topic just now," Ling Fan suddenly smiled awkwardly and said.
"Hmm? What?"
Before Chu Xiao could finish his sentence, Ling Fan dragged him to his side directly.
In fact, according to Chu Xiao's reaction and vigilance, if it were someone else who even got wounds did so, Chu Xiao wouldn’t have been so easily ‘trapped’.
However, when he was with Ling Fan, there was no such thing as vigilance.
The next second, Chu Xiao was dragged into the bed.
"Ling Fan!" Coming to his sense, Chu Xiao snapped as he glared at Ling Fan.
Did this guy feel that his wounds were not heavy enough? With such great strength, did he want to crack the wounds again?
Although Chu Xiao complained in his heart, he still carefully suspended himself in the air and held himself above Ling Fan, trying his best not to touch Ling Fan's wounds.
"Uh, it's more comfortable this way," Ling Fan raised his uninjured right hand and held Chu Xiao's waist, then said contentedly. Obviously, he was very satisfied with their posture now.
At least close enough…
"What did you want to say, huh?" Chu Xiao asked as he glanced at the other side.
For the sake that he was a wounded, let him smug for a bit.
Most importantly, Chu Xiao was in a good mood right now.
"That topic just now."
"What? You mean your password thing?" Chu Xiao raised his eyes and asked.
“Ahem, no." Ling Fan's eyelids jumped and he paused before continuing, "I mean before that."
"What did you say? Before I woke up?” Ling Fan looked at Chu Xiao and said slowly, wearing a serious expression, as if he would not let go if Chu Xiao didn't tell him.
What choice did he have? He only heard the half of it, and he was really curious---jump? Jump into what? Why?
“Pff…” Hearing Ling Fan's question, Chu Xiao couldn't help laughing.
Towards someone's persistence on that question, Chu Xiao felt both funny and angry.
"Little bastard…" Chu Xiao growled deeply, then bent down and bit the corner of Ling Fan's mouth.
"Do you really want to know?" Chu Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked, but his expression was serious.
"Yes," Ling Fan answered sincerely.
"Then listen carefully," Chu Xiao said solemnly, then looked straight at Ling Fan and said word by word, "I, Chu Xiao, thought I won't fall in love with anyone so easily, but once I fall in love, I will be serious. This time, no matter what you did before, no matter if you really made contact with me with a purpose, I can ignore it. If this is a trap, I will still jump in. If it is a disaster, I will accept it."
Chu Xiao's voice was rather firm, and it also carried the momentum of his special indisputability.
It had to be said that this sentence was shocking and heavy in Ling Fan's heart.
"So, I hope you won't disappoint me…" Looking at Ling Fan, Chu Xiao lowered his voice and said.
"No." Ling Fan also looked back at Chu Xiao and said it seriously.
"I won't disappoint you."
After saying that, ignoring his injuries, he turned over and pressed on Chu Xiao.
"Be careful!" Chu Xiao said hurriedly.
"It's okay," Ling Fan smiled as he saw Chu Xiao's undisguised worry.
Compared to risk of the wounds cracked again, he wanted to do it more now…
There wouldn’t be anyone else like him.
In two lifetimes, no one had ever cared about him to this extent. No one would ever indulge him like that, and no one would ever attract him so much...
Therefore, he would never disappoint Chu Xiao.
"I don't know how to love someone before. Before this, no one has ever taught me this, so most of the time, I don't know how to express my feelings. I don't know how to care about others. I’m very stubborn, I don't know how to adapt in a relationship, sometimes I am intolerant. My thoughts and actions might be too intense or even hurt you…"
"I'm sorry for some bad things I did before. I will learn to correct my mistakes," Ling Fan said slowly but every word was serious.
This was the most real thought in his heart.
In his past life, although he had lived almost thirty years, and he was honed more tenacious and indifferent in prison, Ling Fan was still that teenager about relationships.
In many things, he was too opinionated.
This time, the cold war with Chu Xiao had made him grow up a lot.
At the very least, being able to analyze himself so straightforwardly was a sign of growth.
"So… give me some time. I will try my best to treat you, our relationship more maturely, and learn to be a better lover or even a partner."
Ling Fan's words were like some kind of promise.
For Chu Xiao, it was a very solemn promise, and for Ling Fan himself, it was a promise he had gambled for his two lives.
Looking at the seriousness, cherishment, and a tinge of unnoticeable nervousness in Ling Fan's eyes, Chu Xiao suddenly smiled.
"Okay."
Ps. For me, the appropriate tittle is 'the promise' 😇😇
