Chapter 223: A new Family Member (2)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
He took off his shoes and walked over bare feet, carrying Sixteenth. He hit Huo Qu lightly with his shoulder and asked him intentionally, “What? Aren’t you glad to see me?”
Huo Qu just held out his hands and held both of them into his arms.
Sixteenth was very cooperative and didn’t move being held by them in the middle. Its fluffy big tail kept sweeping across Yu Qinghuan’s arm, and occasionally Huo Qu’s chin.
“One month and three days.” Huo Qu buried his head in Qinghuan’s neck and rubbed it again and again. With Sixteenth in their middle, he did not dare to hold Qinghuan with too much force. He said with a grievance, “I haven’t seen you for so long.” After a pause, he added, “And you turned to Sixteenth rather than me when you came home.”
This man was jealous because of a little kitten! Yu Qinghuan reluctantly put the cat on the sofa, raised his head and kissed Huo Qu’s lips. His voice contained joy that could not be concealed, “Then next time you run in front of Sixteenth, I will be the first to hug you.”
The two made out for a while. Yu Qinghuan sat comfortably on the sofa, leaning against Huo Qu, with Sixteenth squatting on his legs, “What do you want for dinner?”
Huo Qu didn’t speak. Hearing the word “eat”, Sixteenth immediately jumped up, a pair of beautiful big eyes twinkled at Yu Qinghuan with expectation.
Yu Qinghuan realized that both Huo Qu and his dear pet had not tasted his cooking for a long time.
“How about chicken tonight?” The legs with skin and the tender breast could be given to Sixteenth, and the rest could be made into a braised chicken.
Huo Qu was not fussy about what he ate, he only cared about who he ate with. Hearing this, he immediately nodded, “Okay.”
Yu Qinghuan went into the kitchen to cook. The other two circled around him. When he turned around, he either nearly stepped on Sixteenth or bumped into Huo Qu.
Yu Qinghuan rolled up his sleeves and turned to Huo Qu helplessly, “Take him out, don’t delay my work.” When the words fell, he was hugged by Huo Qu from behind. He was taller than Yu Qinghuan so he had to bow slightly with his chin happened to rub against Yu Qinghuan’s ear, making him feel itchy.
Yu Qinghuan uncovered the pan, the smell of chicken made Sixteenth already could not wait. He ‘meowed’ and rubbed Yu Qinghuan’s calf, trying to shine up to him.
“Have a taste?” Yu Qinghuan scooped up some soup with a shovel and handled it to Huo Qu after cooling it down. Huo Qu turned to avoid and kissed Qinghuan’s lips when he was off guard.
“The soup spilled!” Yu Qinghuan tried his best to maintain the balance, gasping for breath. “I’ll clean it up,” Huo Qu replied in a low voice but deepened the kiss. These two were really troublemakers in the kitchen.
After the kiss, Yu Qinghuan drove them all out. Huo Qu did not dare to disobey, so he left to clean up Sixteen’s long fur back and forth in the living room. As a cat, Sixteenth had good patience, it would not get angry even if the dinner was kept afar. The cat ran Huo Qu’s mop with round claws scratching around.
Huo Qu carried Sixteenth to the sofa, but it jumped down again, completely without idea how many troubles he had caused for Huo Qu. Until Yu Qinghuan accidentally opened a small crack in the kitchen door, Sixteenth immediately ignored Huo Qu, dragging a big tail jumped into the kitchen.
Huo Qu, “…”
Huo Qu went to the bedroom expressionless with Qinghuan’s suitcase to help him put his clothes. Yu Qinghuan cooked quickly. Half an hour later, the cat food and their supper were all ready.
Looking at the impatient Sixteenth stare at the cooking table with stretching legs, Yu Qinghuan smiled and touched its hairy head, “Go, call your dad to come over for dinner.”
Sixteenth was like a stone, unmoved. His eyes were full of eagerness fixing on the plate of steamed chicken, which had been crushed to the pieces.
“Come on,” Yu Qinghuan pushed it, unmoved by its soft ‘meows’. Sixteenth dawdle for a while. Realizing the food was out of his touch, it could only reluctantly stepped with cat steps to the master bedroom.
Huo Qu had just packed the suitcase and was about to go out when he met Sixteenth who jumped in. Sixteen looked up at him, meowing. The cat was equal to the meal bell. This was a common rule in their home. Huo Qu understood its meaning instantly, bowed his head and said, “Good boy”, and then entered the restaurant with the cat.
Yu Qinghuan had set the meal and the cat bowl was full of chicken. Sixteenth pounced on it, meowing and beginning to eat.
Yu Qinghuan smiled and pushed the rice bowl to Huo Qu, “Here you are.”
Huo Qu pulled the chair to Qinghuan’s side and sat down.
It was another winter, the cold wind howled outside, but the room was warm. Yu Qinghuan and Huo Qu had known each other for four years. The days went on so gently, but they remained the same as four years ago.
He was still too lazy to deal with housework, while Huo Qu was still poor at using chopsticks. However, they had a small family of their own, and their trophies and marriage certificates were placed in the most important place in the house. They also had a cat. In the future, they would have more love for each other over time.
The fresh and tender chicken satisfied their appetite properly, and Yu Qinghuan narrowed his eyes with satisfaction. Warm yellow lights poured down from his head. At his feet, shiny furry Sixteenth was eating while his favorite person was sitting next to him.
In this life, he became the one he wanted to be.
