Chapter 061 : Like on a Date

He Jin’s back was burning red like a hot iron plate. Although he was surrounded by people, there was only that one person behind him, seemingly untouchable by anyone but him.

He wanted to break away from the other man, but Qin Yu suddenly whispered from behind him, “Stand up.”

Warm breath brushed his ear, the magnetic voice attacked his fragile nerves, making him forgot what he wanted to do… He recalled the first time Qin Yu taught him to play tennis, also the first time he and Fire rode the Poor Flame together in the holographic game, those two times he was hugged from behind by another man… A strange impulse arose within him, a buzzing sound filled his head, as if something exploded in his brain, destroying everything and turning his mind into mush.

For the first time in his 20+ years of life, He Jin got a feeling of this impulse, but it was aimed for someone of the same-sex.

He didn’t know when Qin Yu loosen his hand, he only came out of his trance after feeling cold wind blowing against his skin as they walked out of the subway station.

He was greeted by the sight of red and green lights, night stalls surrounded by transparent curtains, and electronic signboards of various characters: Old Beijing Noodles, Shanghai Crayfish, Kyushu Teppanyaki, Hange Pot Rice, and so on…

“Which do you want to eat?” Qin Yu asked.

For a moment, He Jin felt like he was here with Fire, standing in the Changle Street of Imperial City… He shook his head to calm himself and answered, “I invited you to eat, you pick.”

Qin Yu chose to eat curry. They each ordered a serving of curry fried pork chop rice along with a portion of Chinese seaweed as an addition. He Jin asked him if he wanted alcohol, Qin Yu refused and instead asked to drink 7up.

He Jin laughed: “You are like a child, like to drink 7up.”

Qin Yu raised his eyebrow: “Why am I a child just because I like to drink 7up? My grandmother also liked to drink Wang Zi milk when she was alive, was she a child then?”

He Jin: “…”

He Jin: “Cough, I thought you’d want a beer.”

Qin Yu: “It’s 50:50, I like to drink alcohol when going out with many people, but when it’s only with one or two people, I’ll only drink it if my mood is bad.”

He Jin: “I didn’t like it before, but when I had dinner with you and President Shang a while ago, I felt good when drinking.”

Qin Yu laughed. All drunk and “feeling good”, it seemed that this guy would be greedy of alcohol in the future.

Qin Yu: “Do you want a bottle?”

He Jin: “Forget it, there is no side dish, drinking beer while eating curry rice feels quite strange…”

The curry rice soon arrived, its aroma strong, the pork chop fried golden and crisp. The icy 7up also added a refreshing taste to the dish.

The two of them chatted and laughed. Although inwardly He Jin’s mind was in chaos, he would never behave in a bad manner. However, he subconsciously began to peep at Qin Yu, watching the way he looked as he ate, looking at his sticky finger as he took a sip of his 7up, gazing at the slightly upturned appearance of his mouth…

He justified himself by the fact that so many girls also liked doing the same thing. Qin Yu wasn’t only handsome when playing basketball, even the details of his expressive eyes were full of a young man’s charm.

Once they finished eating, the sky had become completely dark outside, the temperature had also dropped several degrees. Qin Yu saw He Jin shrinking his neck and said, “Wait a moment for me here.” He ran out without waiting for He Jin’s answer.
