Feeling a little worried by the sound which came from Lu Yan's end of the cal, Xiao Ning stared blankly at the phone in his hand.
Shan Haiming asked nothing further, only giving him a look that read: you really have no taste, before continuing to push the cart forward.
But Shan Haiming gave him no answer, only letting out a chuckle before saying, "Let's go."
Xiao Ning tossed the garbage into the bin then turned to walk away, but as he did, he noticed a small puff of white moved from the corner of his eye. His steps halted unconsciously and he turned to look in that direction.
It took Xiao Ning a beat while to understand what Shan Haiming was referring to, and he could only reply with uncertainty: "Maybe."
It tastes so good!
Standing beside him, Shan Haiming stared at him while asking, "Another call?"
"Yep. They're at the house all year round. But no matter how much there are, she'll still keep some in vases." Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel as he continued, "In fact, she likes all types of flowers."
As a result, Xiao Ning stared at Shan Haiming with widened eyes, and saw that he was not saying it in jest, and immediately hurried to his apartment next door. Luckily, he had taken his clothes and other things over, so after washing up, he put on a thin shirt and pants, then hurried out the door in the time he was given.
He was shocked by himself not being shocked one bit by this sort of development, with him then rolling up his sleeves to get started without complaint.
Shan Haiming contemptuously swept his gaze over that cake and Xiao Ning, then turned to swipe his card. "It tastes seriously bad."
And, thankfully, the cat did not move from it's position, not running away at all. After Xiao Ning got hold of the cat in his hands, he let out a relieved sigh.
"Ah, no." Xiao Ning put his phone away. "Just wait a minute so I can go change my clothes."
The pleasantly surprised Xiao Ning then looked towards Shan Haiming. "You're incredible. It's only your second time making it yet it's so much better."
By then, Xiao Ning was able to be confirm that the dish Shan Haiming was preparing was the same squirrel-tailed fish.
Xiao Ning made his way over, standing beside him. "So where are we going?"
The grocery store clerk: "..."
They really had gone to the supermarket to buy groceries.
Can you please be a little more aware of your tall, rich, and handsome status?
Seeing him frowning as he thought deeply, Shan Haiming added, "There's no need for you to think about it too much. You already know what kind of situation this is."
To which Shan Haiming said, "You have five."
Shan Haiming's kitchen still looked rather new, but there was pots and pans, as well as oil, salt, vinegar and soy sauce, along with traces of use.
The kitten meowed, and kept its gaze on Xiao Ning.
Shan Haiming parked the car and turned to looked at Xiao Ning, whose face was brimming with earnest, and as he stared, the look in hiss eyes grew somewhat strange.

Xiao Ning tossed the garbage into the bin then turned to walk away, but as he did, he noticed a small puff of white moved from the corner of his eye. His steps halted unconsciously and he turned to look in that direction.
When it came to cooking, Xiao Ning's approach was methodical, and Shan Haiming's speed in preparing the fish was comparatively faster, with him not having to look at the recipe and being quite familiar with the process.
Seeing him frowning as he thought deeply, Shan Haiming added, "There's no need for you to think about it too much. You already know what kind of situation this is."
Shan Haiming was already standing in front of the elevator when he came out, and seeing the elevator had rose to the fifth floor, it was clear he had also pushed the button in advanced.
So this was what he meat when he said he'd make it up to me before, and not the time he invited me for dinner after.
After he hung up, Xiao Ning remembered he message Shan Haiming had sent him last night. "So your mom likes lilies, right?"
Xiao Ning himself couldn't say for certain all that was involeved in his emotional breakdown the night before, but he could say it was not all grievances. He was still a grown man, after all, one who made those choices himself. So what was there for him to feel wronged about?
Shan Haiming parked the car and turned to looked at Xiao Ning, whose face was brimming with earnest, and as he stared, the look in hiss eyes grew somewhat strange.
What's more, Xiao Ning was not angry because Xia Li hitting him either. Nonetheless, he was seen as a threat by a kitten trying to protect its food, and its actions were no more than a scratch.
But Shan Haiming gave him no answer, only letting out a chuckle before saying, "Let's go."
Simple dishes did not worry Xiao Ning, and they had chosen to purchase meals that that were easy to to make. But Xiao Ning did indeed feel as though he he should improve his cooking skills if Shan Haiming really has a interest in cooking and wants him to join in every time.
Xiao Ning made his way over, standing beside him. "So where are we going?"
But Shan Haiming intervened, saying, "I'll pay for the groceries."
Xiao Ning tossed the garbage into the bin then turned to walk away, but as he did, he noticed a small puff of white moved from the corner of his eye. His steps halted unconsciously and he turned to look in that direction.
So this was what he meat when he said he'd make it up to me before, and not the time he invited me for dinner after.
"Supermarket," Shan Haiming replied simply.
At least it wasn't past twelve, right?
Since we're heading to the supermarket, does it mean we aren't going out to eat? Xiao Ning then looked at the time, They couldn't be counted at as being too late as it was barely eleven o'clock.
The grocery clerk them said to them warmly, "This is our new product, we're currently having an event, and it's very popular."
It's cries were so light, just light enough to be heard, and for its delicate sound to make one's heart grow soft.
"I already told you last time," Shan Haiming said, then continued, "you don't need to worry about him. He doesn't like anything."
Xiao Ning then took out the box of cake and said helplessly, "Then I'll pay for this."
That guy really did just go there to buy groceries, so without going to other areas at all, the two then pushed the singular cart filled with the necessary ingredients to the cashier, and Xiao Ning pulled out his wallet.
Make it up to you
Shan Haiming asked nothing further, only giving him a look that read: you really have no taste, before continuing to push the cart forward.
At least it wasn't past twelve, right?
Xiao Ning himself couldn't say for certain all that was involeved in his emotional breakdown the night before, but he could say it was not all grievances. He was still a grown man, after all, one who made those choices himself. So what was there for him to feel wronged about?
It's cries were so light, just light enough to be heard, and for its delicate sound to make one's heart grow soft.
Seeing this food critic persona of Xiao Ning's, Shan Haiming couldn't help himself from letting out a laugh. "Enough chit-chat, just eat up, every single bite."
Shan Haiming was already standing in front of the elevator when he came out, and seeing the elevator had rose to the fifth floor, it was clear he had also pushed the button in advanced.
It's cries were so light, just light enough to be heard, and for its delicate sound to make one's heart grow soft.
The elevator took then all the way down to the underground parking lot. Xiao Ning went to sit in the front passenger seat of his own volition, then, as he he sat, he looked at his face in the rear-view mirror.
He assumed the one who sent it was Qian Sheng, who was out on a long distance assignment, but requested his leave early in the morning so if he went to the office at this hour it would only lead to trouble. "I'm sorry, but can you as the front desk to sign for it, I'll pick it up after work."
"As long as nothing touches it I don't feel a thing." Xiao Ning pulled his gaze away, and put no further thought towards the matter.
"As long as nothing touches it I don't feel a thing." Xiao Ning pulled his gaze away, and put no further thought towards the matter.
It caused Xiao Ning to ask him, "Is something wrong?"
Xiao Ning got the feeling he probably couldn't buy anything Shan Yisong would like.

That guy really did just go there to buy groceries, so without going to other areas at all, the two then pushed the singular cart filled with the necessary ingredients to the cashier, and Xiao Ning pulled out his wallet.
"Does it still hurt?" Seeing his movements, Shan Haiming asked.
Xiao Ning: "..."
However, despite him saying this, Xiao Ning still had no intention of only putting in a minimum amount of effort with regard to Shan Haiming's matter, asked a few more questions. But having grown impatient of his questioning, Shan Haiming asked, "Why are you acting like you're actually going there to win my parent's favour?"
As he held the cat i his arms Xiao Ning got a whiff of the garbage scent all over the cat's body. So smiling at the little one in his hold, he then said, "The first thing we're going to do once we get back is give you a bath."
Without care, Xiao Ning simply laughed as he added, "I asked for it."
Can you please be a little more aware of your tall, rich, and handsome status?
Shan Haiming directly pushed the cart over to order a freshly killed fish. After taking the fish, they just went around to other places, picking where at random.
"Has the matter been settled?" as Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel, he asked.
"As long as nothing touches it I don't feel a thing." Xiao Ning pulled his gaze away, and put no further thought towards the matter.
A dirty little white cat was digging through some garbage that was carelessly scattered outside the bin.
Xiao Ning: "..."
Feeling a little worried by the sound which came from Lu Yan's end of the cal, Xiao Ning stared blankly at the phone in his hand.
"It's not bad..." Xiao Ning replied forcefully.
Get cat: ☑ _(:зゝ∠)_]]]
"Has the matter been settled?" as Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel, he asked.
Xiao Ning was a bit shocked.
It took Xiao Ning a beat while to understand what Shan Haiming was referring to, and he could only reply with uncertainty: "Maybe."
He received another phone call, but this time it was from a delivery service informing him a package from Yunnan Province had arrived and was currently at his office.
Xiao Ning himself couldn't say for certain all that was involeved in his emotional breakdown the night before, but he could say it was not all grievances. He was still a grown man, after all, one who made those choices himself. So what was there for him to feel wronged about?
What's more, Xiao Ning was not angry because Xia Li hitting him either. Nonetheless, he was seen as a threat by a kitten trying to protect its food, and its actions were no more than a scratch.
Xiao Ning got the feeling he probably couldn't buy anything Shan Yisong would like.
After circling twice, it seemed to have noticed Xiao Ning was not too far away. It also appeared to not be afraid of people, so it squatted into a little white ball where it had stood before crying out some meows.
Shan Haiming asked nothing further, only giving him a look that read: you really have no taste, before continuing to push the cart forward.

It tastes so bad, yet you still had two pieces?...
"Supermarket," Shan Haiming replied simply.
"As long as nothing touches it I don't feel a thing." Xiao Ning pulled his gaze away, and put no further thought towards the matter.
Without care, Xiao Ning simply laughed as he added, "I asked for it."
Xiao Ning then took out the box of cake and said helplessly, "Then I'll pay for this."
It tastes so good!
The grocery store clerk: "..."
"Then learn to be smarter next time." Shan Haiming then added, "And don't forget to be quick."
But unlike last time, this time around, the squirrel-tailed fish was very delicious. It was almost as good as the ones in restaurants. The taste causing Xiao Ning to hold his chopsticks in surprise.
Xiao Ning chuckled in reply, adding, "Yeah. I think so too."
But Shan Haiming gave him no answer, only letting out a chuckle before saying, "Let's go."
Seeing this food critic persona of Xiao Ning's, Shan Haiming couldn't help himself from letting out a laugh. "Enough chit-chat, just eat up, every single bite."
It was really strange for there to be stray cats in that gated community, so Xiao Ning couldn't help from standing there to watch for a while. The cat dug around for a long time but it had't dung out anything to eat. It couldn't jump up to reach the high garbage bin, so it could only circle around the base of the bins.

◈◇◈
Shan Haiming asked nothing further, only giving him a look that read: you really have no taste, before continuing to push the cart forward.
He didn't need to say that given how Xiao Ning would naturally clean his plate, eating everything and leaving only a pile of fish bones behind.
He received another phone call, but this time it was from a delivery service informing him a package from Yunnan Province had arrived and was currently at his office.
After circling twice, it seemed to have noticed Xiao Ning was not too far away. It also appeared to not be afraid of people, so it squatted into a little white ball where it had stood before crying out some meows.

An abandoned cat?
But unlike last time, this time around, the squirrel-tailed fish was very delicious. It was almost as good as the ones in restaurants. The taste causing Xiao Ning to hold his chopsticks in surprise.
It tastes so good!
"Has the matter been settled?" as Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel, he asked.
Xiao Ning nodded upon hearing this, making a note of it before asking, "Then what about your dad?"
Xiao Ning's heart was moved, the strange feeling it carried passing quickly as he held his bowl. "The fish was cooked beautifully, the sweet and sour sauce was just right, the skin was fried crisp, yet the meat inside was still quite tender."

Xiao Ning made his way over, standing beside him. "So where are we going?"
Xiao Ning, with a bot of hesitance, made up his mind and approached the kitten very carefully. But the kitten didn't run off, staying right where it was as it stared towards him. And upon getting closer, Xiao Ning could see the little creature's eyes were bright, sparkling blue.
Xiao Ning: "..."
But Shan Haiming intervened, saying, "I'll pay for the groceries."
After they ate, Xiao Ning cleaned up the table and the kitchen, packing all the waste into a plastic bag since it wasn't gd to leave such things in the kitchen for too long with how hot the weather had become.
Seeing him frowning as he thought deeply, Shan Haiming added, "There's no need for you to think about it too much. You already know what kind of situation this is."

Luckily, he had taken his clothes and other things over, so after washing up, he put on a thin shirt and pants, then hurried out the door in the time he was given.
Xiao Ning: "..."
Can you please be a little more aware of your tall, rich, and handsome status?
However, despite him saying this, Xiao Ning still had no intention of only putting in a minimum amount of effort with regard to Shan Haiming's matter, asked a few more questions. But having grown impatient of his questioning, Shan Haiming asked, "Why are you acting like you're actually going there to win my parent's favour?"

The cat dug around for a long time but it had't dung out anything to eat. It couldn't jump up to reach the high garbage bin, so it could only circle around the base of the bins.
You're so light! And I have no idea if it's because of your age, or because you you haven't eaten properly. You're just a ball of fur.
Shan Haiming asked nothing further, only giving him a look that read: you really have no taste, before continuing to push the cart forward.
Can you please be a little more aware of your tall, rich, and handsome status?
A barely noticeable sliver of pride flashed in Shan Haiming's eyes, his lips curving upwards, as he said lazily, "I told you I was going to."
After circling twice, it seemed to have noticed Xiao Ning was not too far away. It also appeared to not be afraid of people, so it squatted into a little white ball where it had stood before crying out some meows.
Feeling the grocery clerk's undisguised stare, the thin-skinned Xiao Ning picked up a box of the cake, his action leading Shan Haiming to ask, "You like this?"
Xiao Ning combed through the information he had just received in his head, as he replied, "I don't know how things will go at your parents, and this sort of matter will be shocking to them after all. But if I can make them see your boyfriend is not a bad person, then they'll have an easier time in accepting your decision."
On his way to take the trash out, he gave word to Shan Haiming, ho was now watching the television. "I'm heading downstairs."
Shan Haiming parked the car and turned to looked at Xiao Ning, whose face was brimming with earnest, and as he stared, the look in hiss eyes grew somewhat strange.
The kitten meowed, and kept its gaze on Xiao Ning.
It caused Xiao Ning to ask him, "Is something wrong?"

Shan Haiming asked nothing further, only giving him a look that read: you really have no taste, before continuing to push the cart forward.
Xiao Ning got the feeling that Shan Haiming definitely has a complex about cooking.
Get cat: ☑ _(:зゝ∠)_]]]
But after taking just a few steps, he turned and walked back.
Xiao Ning, with a bot of hesitance, made up his mind and approached the kitten very carefully. But the kitten didn't run off, staying right where it was as it stared towards him. And upon getting closer, Xiao Ning could see the little creature's eyes were bright, sparkling blue.

He was shocked by himself not being shocked one bit by this sort of development, with him then rolling up his sleeves to get started without complaint.
While on their way they passed a sampling table for cake, and Xiao Ning saw Shan Haiming had stopped and tried a piece. But he didn't taste it on his own, but also picked up a piece and stuffed it into Xiao Ning's mouth.
The grocery clerk them said to them warmly, "This is our new product, we're currently having an event, and it's very popular."
After they ate, Xiao Ning cleaned up the table and the kitchen, packing all the waste into a plastic bag since it wasn't gd to leave such things in the kitchen for too long with how hot the weather had become.
At least it wasn't past twelve, right?
Xiao Ning then heard the sound of frying, and the fish was in the frying pan.
After giving him the money for the cake, Xiao Ning helped him divide the groceries into plastic bags then push then push them into the parking lot.
They really had gone to the supermarket to buy groceries.
Simple dishes did not worry Xiao Ning, and they had chosen to purchase meals that that were easy to to make. But Xiao Ning did indeed feel as though he he should improve his cooking skills if Shan Haiming really has a interest in cooking and wants him to join in every time.

Xiao Ning then seriously pondered, Should I learn to cook too? We live right across from one another, so if he cooks most of the time I could led him a hand too.
When it came to cooking, Xiao Ning's approach was methodical, and Shan Haiming's speed in preparing the fish was comparatively faster, with him not having to look at the recipe and being quite familiar with the process.
After he hung up, Xiao Ning remembered he message Shan Haiming had sent him last night. "So your mom likes lilies, right?"

Xiao Ning himself couldn't say for certain all that was involeved in his emotional breakdown the night before, but he could say it was not all grievances. He was still a grown man, after all, one who made those choices himself. So what was there for him to feel wronged about?
Shan Haiming directly pushed the cart over to order a freshly killed fish. After taking the fish, they just went around to other places, picking where at random.

"Has the matter been settled?" as Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel, he asked.
The grocery clerk them said to them warmly, "This is our new product, we're currently having an event, and it's very popular."
If it gets scared and runs off, it's fine, nothing to worry about.
Seeing what he was carrying, Shan Haiming knew what he was going down to do and sent a casual nod his way to show he understood.
A dirty little white cat was digging through some garbage that was carelessly scattered outside the bin.
So this was what he meat when he said he'd make it up to me before, and not the time he invited me for dinner after.
Feeling a little worried by the sound which came from Lu Yan's end of the cal, Xiao Ning stared blankly at the phone in his hand.
When he noticed Xiao Ning had chewed it and swallowed, Shan Haiming fed Xiao Ning another piece before eating a second one himself. "Let's pad our stomach first. Want another?"
Without care, Xiao Ning simply laughed as he added, "I asked for it."
Shan Haiming was already standing in front of the elevator when he came out, and seeing the elevator had rose to the fifth floor, it was clear he had also pushed the button in advanced.
N/A
The grocery store clerk: "..."
"Ah, no." Xiao Ning put his phone away. "Just wait a minute so I can go change my clothes."
Xiao Ning: "..."
Xiao Ning chuckled in reply, adding, "Yeah. I think so too."
Xiao Ning tossed the garbage into the bin then turned to walk away, but as he did, he noticed a small puff of white moved from the corner of his eye. His steps halted unconsciously and he turned to look in that direction.
Xiao Ning: "..."
Can you please be a little more aware of your tall, rich, and handsome status?

Xiao Ning was a bit shocked.
Feeling the grocery clerk's undisguised stare, the thin-skinned Xiao Ning picked up a box of the cake, his action leading Shan Haiming to ask, "You like this?"
The garbage bins were located in the courtyard, Xia Ning had seen them when he came and went many tines, so it didn't take long for him to find his way. The greenery and cleaning there was very well done, but after lunch, there was so shortage of garbage in the bins. What's more, the weather that day just happened to be very god, and very warm. So the moment he got close, he could smell that smell.
"It's not bad..." Xiao Ning replied forcefully.
Shan Haiming was already standing in front of the elevator when he came out, and seeing the elevator had rose to the fifth floor, it was clear he had also pushed the button in advanced.
Shan Haiming asked nothing further, only giving him a look that read: you really have no taste, before continuing to push the cart forward.
After giving him the money for the cake, Xiao Ning helped him divide the groceries into plastic bags then push then push them into the parking lot.
"As long as nothing touches it I don't feel a thing." Xiao Ning pulled his gaze away, and put no further thought towards the matter.
A barely noticeable sliver of pride flashed in Shan Haiming's eyes, his lips curving upwards, as he said lazily, "I told you I was going to."
That guy really did just go there to buy groceries, so without going to other areas at all, the two then pushed the singular cart filled with the necessary ingredients to the cashier, and Xiao Ning pulled out his wallet.
"I'll only be responsible for the fish, you can handle the rest."
The elevator took then all the way down to the underground parking lot. Xiao Ning went to sit in the front passenger seat of his own volition, then, as he he sat, he looked at his face in the rear-view mirror.

The pleasantly surprised Xiao Ning then looked towards Shan Haiming. "You're incredible. It's only your second time making it yet it's so much better."
But Shan Haiming intervened, saying, "I'll pay for the groceries."
Xiao Ning then heard the sound of frying, and the fish was in the frying pan.
After the dishes were placed on the table, it really made a person feel a sense of déjà vu. Again, the squirrel-tailed fish and curried chicken were the two main dishes, ad beside them, were sautéed seasonal veggies that were unfortunately a little overdone as the green in them wasn't as vibrant.
Xiao Ning then took out the box of cake and said helplessly, "Then I'll pay for this."
Xiao Ning, with a bot of hesitance, made up his mind and approached the kitten very carefully. But the kitten didn't run off, staying right where it was as it stared towards him. And upon getting closer, Xiao Ning could see the little creature's eyes were bright, sparkling blue.
To which Shan Haiming said, "You have five."
Xiao Ning was a bit shocked.
He received another phone call, but this time it was from a delivery service informing him a package from Yunnan Province had arrived and was currently at his office.

Shan Haiming contemptuously swept his gaze over that cake and Xiao Ning, then turned to swipe his card. "It tastes seriously bad."
"Would you like me to take you back with me?" Xiao Ning stooped down, but made no effort to rush into holding it. "Do you want to come home with me?"
It tastes so bad, yet you still had two pieces?...
By then, Xiao Ning was able to be confirm that the dish Shan Haiming was preparing was the same squirrel-tailed fish.
Xiao Ning himself couldn't say for certain all that was involeved in his emotional breakdown the night before, but he could say it was not all grievances. He was still a grown man, after all, one who made those choices himself. So what was there for him to feel wronged about?
At least it wasn't past twelve, right?
After giving him the money for the cake, Xiao Ning helped him divide the groceries into plastic bags then push then push them into the parking lot.
"I'm going to take that as your acceptance." Xiao Ning sighed. Well, he was planning to get a cat anyhow. "Don't be afraid..."
"It's not bad..." Xiao Ning replied forcefully.
Shan Haiming asked nothing further, only giving him a look that read: you really have no taste, before continuing to push the cart forward.
It tastes so good!
By then, Xiao Ning was able to be confirm that the dish Shan Haiming was preparing was the same squirrel-tailed fish.
Shan Haiming's kitchen still looked rather new, but there was pots and pans, as well as oil, salt, vinegar and soy sauce, along with traces of use.
As a result, Xiao Ning stared at Shan Haiming with widened eyes, and saw that he was not saying it in jest, and immediately hurried to his apartment next door. Luckily, he had taken his clothes and other things over, so after washing up, he put on a thin shirt and pants, then hurried out the door in the time he was given.
"I'll only be responsible for the fish, you can handle the rest."
Xiao Ning, with a bot of hesitance, made up his mind and approached the kitten very carefully. But the kitten didn't run off, staying right where it was as it stared towards him. And upon getting closer, Xiao Ning could see the little creature's eyes were bright, sparkling blue.
Standing in the kitchen, Shan Haiming naturally divided the labour between the two.
After he hung up, Xiao Ning remembered he message Shan Haiming had sent him last night. "So your mom likes lilies, right?"
And, thankfully, the cat did not move from it's position, not running away at all. After Xiao Ning got hold of the cat in his hands, he let out a relieved sigh.
"It's not bad..." Xiao Ning replied forcefully.
Xiao Ning was a bit shocked.
That guy really did just go there to buy groceries, so without going to other areas at all, the two then pushed the singular cart filled with the necessary ingredients to the cashier, and Xiao Ning pulled out his wallet.
He was shocked by himself not being shocked one bit by this sort of development, with him then rolling up his sleeves to get started without complaint.
Make it up to you
You're so light! And I have no idea if it's because of your age, or because you you haven't eaten properly. You're just a ball of fur.
The grocery store clerk: "..."
Simple dishes did not worry Xiao Ning, and they had chosen to purchase meals that that were easy to to make. But Xiao Ning did indeed feel as though he he should improve his cooking skills if Shan Haiming really has a interest in cooking and wants him to join in every time.
N/A
When it came to cooking, Xiao Ning's approach was methodical, and Shan Haiming's speed in preparing the fish was comparatively faster, with him not having to look at the recipe and being quite familiar with the process.
A barely noticeable sliver of pride flashed in Shan Haiming's eyes, his lips curving upwards, as he said lazily, "I told you I was going to."
Xiao Ning then heard the sound of frying, and the fish was in the frying pan.
An abandoned cat?
By then, Xiao Ning was able to be confirm that the dish Shan Haiming was preparing was the same squirrel-tailed fish.
Seeing this food critic persona of Xiao Ning's, Shan Haiming couldn't help himself from letting out a laugh. "Enough chit-chat, just eat up, every single bite."
After they ate, Xiao Ning cleaned up the table and the kitchen, packing all the waste into a plastic bag since it wasn't gd to leave such things in the kitchen for too long with how hot the weather had become.
Shan Haiming asked nothing further, only giving him a look that read: you really have no taste, before continuing to push the cart forward.
He received another phone call, but this time it was from a delivery service informing him a package from Yunnan Province had arrived and was currently at his office.
But unlike last time, this time around, the squirrel-tailed fish was very delicious. It was almost as good as the ones in restaurants. The taste causing Xiao Ning to hold his chopsticks in surprise.
You're so light! And I have no idea if it's because of your age, or because you you haven't eaten properly. You're just a ball of fur.
Xiao Ning's heart was moved, the strange feeling it carried passing quickly as he held his bowl. "The fish was cooked beautifully, the sweet and sour sauce was just right, the skin was fried crisp, yet the meat inside was still quite tender."
After the dishes were placed on the table, it really made a person feel a sense of déjà vu. Again, the squirrel-tailed fish and curried chicken were the two main dishes, ad beside them, were sautéed seasonal veggies that were unfortunately a little overdone as the green in them wasn't as vibrant.
Shan Haiming contemptuously swept his gaze over that cake and Xiao Ning, then turned to swipe his card. "It tastes seriously bad."
But unlike last time, this time around, the squirrel-tailed fish was very delicious. It was almost as good as the ones in restaurants. The taste causing Xiao Ning to hold his chopsticks in surprise.
It tastes so good!
It took Xiao Ning a beat while to understand what Shan Haiming was referring to, and he could only reply with uncertainty: "Maybe."

Standing in the kitchen, Shan Haiming naturally divided the labour between the two.
"Ah, no." Xiao Ning put his phone away. "Just wait a minute so I can go change my clothes."
At least it wasn't past twelve, right?
The pleasantly surprised Xiao Ning then looked towards Shan Haiming. "You're incredible. It's only your second time making it yet it's so much better."
Xiao Ning nodded upon hearing this, making a note of it before asking, "Then what about your dad?"
A barely noticeable sliver of pride flashed in Shan Haiming's eyes, his lips curving upwards, as he said lazily, "I told you I was going to."
He slowly reached out his hands, so as to avoid the kitten running away.
He received another phone call, but this time it was from a delivery service informing him a package from Yunnan Province had arrived and was currently at his office.
They really had gone to the supermarket to buy groceries.
And, thankfully, the cat did not move from it's position, not running away at all. After Xiao Ning got hold of the cat in his hands, he let out a relieved sigh.
Xiao Ning tossed the garbage into the bin then turned to walk away, but as he did, he noticed a small puff of white moved from the corner of his eye. His steps halted unconsciously and he turned to look in that direction.
"It's not bad..." Xiao Ning replied forcefully.
Xiao Ning nodded upon hearing this, making a note of it before asking, "Then what about your dad?"
So this was what he meat when he said he'd make it up to me before, and not the time he invited me for dinner after.
Having seen enough, Xiao Ning turned and walked away.
Xiao Ning, with a bot of hesitance, made up his mind and approached the kitten very carefully. But the kitten didn't run off, staying right where it was as it stared towards him. And upon getting closer, Xiao Ning could see the little creature's eyes were bright, sparkling blue.
Can you please be a little more aware of your tall, rich, and handsome status?
Shan Haiming directly pushed the cart over to order a freshly killed fish. After taking the fish, they just went around to other places, picking where at random.
"Ah, no." Xiao Ning put his phone away. "Just wait a minute so I can go change my clothes."
Xiao Ning then seriously pondered, Should I learn to cook too? We live right across from one another, so if he cooks most of the time I could led him a hand too.
The kitten meowed, and kept its gaze on Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning's heart was moved, the strange feeling it carried passing quickly as he held his bowl. "The fish was cooked beautifully, the sweet and sour sauce was just right, the skin was fried crisp, yet the meat inside was still quite tender."
Feeling a little worried by the sound which came from Lu Yan's end of the cal, Xiao Ning stared blankly at the phone in his hand.
Feeling a little worried by the sound which came from Lu Yan's end of the cal, Xiao Ning stared blankly at the phone in his hand.
He didn't need to say that given how Xiao Ning would naturally clean his plate, eating everything and leaving only a pile of fish bones behind.
Seeing this food critic persona of Xiao Ning's, Shan Haiming couldn't help himself from letting out a laugh. "Enough chit-chat, just eat up, every single bite."
Xiao Ning got the feeling that Shan Haiming definitely has a complex about cooking.
Xiao Ning got the feeling he probably couldn't buy anything Shan Yisong would like.
Xiao Ning: "..."
Xiao Ning, with a bot of hesitance, made up his mind and approached the kitten very carefully. But the kitten didn't run off, staying right where it was as it stared towards him. And upon getting closer, Xiao Ning could see the little creature's eyes were bright, sparkling blue.
Standing beside him, Shan Haiming stared at him while asking, "Another call?"
What's more, Xiao Ning was not angry because Xia Li hitting him either. Nonetheless, he was seen as a threat by a kitten trying to protect its food, and its actions were no more than a scratch.
Xiao Ning chuckled in reply, adding, "Yeah. I think so too."
He didn't need to say that given how Xiao Ning would naturally clean his plate, eating everything and leaving only a pile of fish bones behind.
Xiao Ning then seriously pondered, Should I learn to cook too? We live right across from one another, so if he cooks most of the time I could led him a hand too.

He was shocked by himself not being shocked one bit by this sort of development, with him then rolling up his sleeves to get started without complaint.
After they ate, Xiao Ning cleaned up the table and the kitchen, packing all the waste into a plastic bag since it wasn't gd to leave such things in the kitchen for too long with how hot the weather had become.
It caused Xiao Ning to ask him, "Is something wrong?"
Shan Haiming asked nothing further, only giving him a look that read: you really have no taste, before continuing to push the cart forward.
But Shan Haiming intervened, saying, "I'll pay for the groceries."
It took Xiao Ning a beat while to understand what Shan Haiming was referring to, and he could only reply with uncertainty: "Maybe."
◈◇◈
On his way to take the trash out, he gave word to Shan Haiming, ho was now watching the television. "I'm heading downstairs."
He didn't need to say that given how Xiao Ning would naturally clean his plate, eating everything and leaving only a pile of fish bones behind.
"Yep. They're at the house all year round. But no matter how much there are, she'll still keep some in vases." Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel as he continued, "In fact, she likes all types of flowers."
Shan Haiming asked nothing further, only giving him a look that read: you really have no taste, before continuing to push the cart forward.
◈◇◈
"I already told you last time," Shan Haiming said, then continued, "you don't need to worry about him. He doesn't like anything."
Seeing what he was carrying, Shan Haiming knew what he was going down to do and sent a casual nod his way to show he understood.
Shan Haiming directly pushed the cart over to order a freshly killed fish. After taking the fish, they just went around to other places, picking where at random.
Since we're heading to the supermarket, does it mean we aren't going out to eat? Xiao Ning then looked at the time, They couldn't be counted at as being too late as it was barely eleven o'clock.
Simple dishes did not worry Xiao Ning, and they had chosen to purchase meals that that were easy to to make. But Xiao Ning did indeed feel as though he he should improve his cooking skills if Shan Haiming really has a interest in cooking and wants him to join in every time.
To which Shan Haiming said, "You have five."
After circling twice, it seemed to have noticed Xiao Ning was not too far away. It also appeared to not be afraid of people, so it squatted into a little white ball where it had stood before crying out some meows.
But Shan Haiming intervened, saying, "I'll pay for the groceries."
Standing in the kitchen, Shan Haiming naturally divided the labour between the two.
The garbage bins were located in the courtyard, Xia Ning had seen them when he came and went many tines, so it didn't take long for him to find his way. The greenery and cleaning there was very well done, but after lunch, there was so shortage of garbage in the bins. What's more, the weather that day just happened to be very god, and very warm. So the moment he got close, he could smell that smell.
Feeling the grocery clerk's undisguised stare, the thin-skinned Xiao Ning picked up a box of the cake, his action leading Shan Haiming to ask, "You like this?"
"Would you like me to take you back with me?" Xiao Ning stooped down, but made no effort to rush into holding it. "Do you want to come home with me?"
Xiao Ning combed through the information he had just received in his head, as he replied, "I don't know how things will go at your parents, and this sort of matter will be shocking to them after all. But if I can make them see your boyfriend is not a bad person, then they'll have an easier time in accepting your decision."
"Would you like me to take you back with me?" Xiao Ning stooped down, but made no effort to rush into holding it. "Do you want to come home with me?"
It caused Xiao Ning to ask him, "Is something wrong?"
Xiao Ning tossed the garbage into the bin then turned to walk away, but as he did, he noticed a small puff of white moved from the corner of his eye. His steps halted unconsciously and he turned to look in that direction.
While on their way they passed a sampling table for cake, and Xiao Ning saw Shan Haiming had stopped and tried a piece. But he didn't taste it on his own, but also picked up a piece and stuffed it into Xiao Ning's mouth.
Seeing this food critic persona of Xiao Ning's, Shan Haiming couldn't help himself from letting out a laugh. "Enough chit-chat, just eat up, every single bite."
And, thankfully, the cat did not move from it's position, not running away at all. After Xiao Ning got hold of the cat in his hands, he let out a relieved sigh.
A barely noticeable sliver of pride flashed in Shan Haiming's eyes, his lips curving upwards, as he said lazily, "I told you I was going to."
He slowly reached out his hands, so as to avoid the kitten running away.
A dirty little white cat was digging through some garbage that was carelessly scattered outside the bin.
◈◇◈
After circling twice, it seemed to have noticed Xiao Ning was not too far away. It also appeared to not be afraid of people, so it squatted into a little white ball where it had stood before crying out some meows.
To which Shan Haiming said, "You have five."
An abandoned cat?
It's cries were so light, just light enough to be heard, and for its delicate sound to make one's heart grow soft.
Get cat: ☑ _(:зゝ∠)_]]]
At least it wasn't past twelve, right?
It was really strange for there to be stray cats in that gated community, so Xiao Ning couldn't help from standing there to watch for a while. The cat dug around for a long time but it had't dung out anything to eat. It couldn't jump up to reach the high garbage bin, so it could only circle around the base of the bins.
Can you please be a little more aware of your tall, rich, and handsome status?

But unlike last time, this time around, the squirrel-tailed fish was very delicious. It was almost as good as the ones in restaurants. The taste causing Xiao Ning to hold his chopsticks in surprise.
As he held the cat i his arms Xiao Ning got a whiff of the garbage scent all over the cat's body. So smiling at the little one in his hold, he then said, "The first thing we're going to do once we get back is give you a bath."
Seeing what he was carrying, Shan Haiming knew what he was going down to do and sent a casual nod his way to show he understood.
And, thankfully, the cat did not move from it's position, not running away at all. After Xiao Ning got hold of the cat in his hands, he let out a relieved sigh.

Xiao Ning got the feeling he probably couldn't buy anything Shan Yisong would like.
The kitten meowed, and kept its gaze on Xiao Ning.
But Shan Haiming gave him no answer, only letting out a chuckle before saying, "Let's go."
Having seen enough, Xiao Ning turned and walked away.
"I already told you last time," Shan Haiming said, then continued, "you don't need to worry about him. He doesn't like anything."
The grocery clerk them said to them warmly, "This is our new product, we're currently having an event, and it's very popular."
Xiao Ning, with a bot of hesitance, made up his mind and approached the kitten very carefully. But the kitten didn't run off, staying right where it was as it stared towards him. And upon getting closer, Xiao Ning could see the little creature's eyes were bright, sparkling blue.
However, despite him saying this, Xiao Ning still had no intention of only putting in a minimum amount of effort with regard to Shan Haiming's matter, asked a few more questions. But having grown impatient of his questioning, Shan Haiming asked, "Why are you acting like you're actually going there to win my parent's favour?"
Xiao Ning made his way over, standing beside him. "So where are we going?"
But after taking just a few steps, he turned and walked back.
Standing beside him, Shan Haiming stared at him while asking, "Another call?"
◈◇◈
"Then learn to be smarter next time." Shan Haiming then added, "And don't forget to be quick."
"Yep. They're at the house all year round. But no matter how much there are, she'll still keep some in vases." Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel as he continued, "In fact, she likes all types of flowers."
The grocery store clerk: "..."
Shan Haiming parked the car and turned to looked at Xiao Ning, whose face was brimming with earnest, and as he stared, the look in hiss eyes grew somewhat strange.
"Has the matter been settled?" as Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel, he asked.
If it gets scared and runs off, it's fine, nothing to worry about.
"Does it still hurt?" Seeing his movements, Shan Haiming asked.
After giving him the money for the cake, Xiao Ning helped him divide the groceries into plastic bags then push then push them into the parking lot.
Having seen enough, Xiao Ning turned and walked away.
The elevator took then all the way down to the underground parking lot. Xiao Ning went to sit in the front passenger seat of his own volition, then, as he he sat, he looked at his face in the rear-view mirror.
It tastes so bad, yet you still had two pieces?...
Xiao Ning, with a bot of hesitance, made up his mind and approached the kitten very carefully. But the kitten didn't run off, staying right where it was as it stared towards him. And upon getting closer, Xiao Ning could see the little creature's eyes were bright, sparkling blue.
When he noticed Xiao Ning had chewed it and swallowed, Shan Haiming fed Xiao Ning another piece before eating a second one himself. "Let's pad our stomach first. Want another?"
The grocery clerk them said to them warmly, "This is our new product, we're currently having an event, and it's very popular."
Make it up to you

When he noticed Xiao Ning had chewed it and swallowed, Shan Haiming fed Xiao Ning another piece before eating a second one himself. "Let's pad our stomach first. Want another?"
"Has the matter been settled?" as Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel, he asked.

Luckily, he had taken his clothes and other things over, so after washing up, he put on a thin shirt and pants, then hurried out the door in the time he was given.
He was shocked by himself not being shocked one bit by this sort of development, with him then rolling up his sleeves to get started without complaint.

Seeing him frowning as he thought deeply, Shan Haiming added, "There's no need for you to think about it too much. You already know what kind of situation this is."
To which Shan Haiming said, "You have five."
Shan Haiming's kitchen still looked rather new, but there was pots and pans, as well as oil, salt, vinegar and soy sauce, along with traces of use.
The kitten meowed, and kept its gaze on Xiao Ning.
Shan Haiming parked the car and turned to looked at Xiao Ning, whose face was brimming with earnest, and as he stared, the look in hiss eyes grew somewhat strange.

Shan Haiming was already standing in front of the elevator when he came out, and seeing the elevator had rose to the fifth floor, it was clear he had also pushed the button in advanced.
So this was what he meat when he said he'd make it up to me before, and not the time he invited me for dinner after.
After he hung up, Xiao Ning remembered he message Shan Haiming had sent him last night. "So your mom likes lilies, right?"
Xiao Ning himself couldn't say for certain all that was involeved in his emotional breakdown the night before, but he could say it was not all grievances. He was still a grown man, after all, one who made those choices himself. So what was there for him to feel wronged about?

It's cries were so light, just light enough to be heard, and for its delicate sound to make one's heart grow soft.
The elevator took then all the way down to the underground parking lot. Xiao Ning went to sit in the front passenger seat of his own volition, then, as he he sat, he looked at his face in the rear-view mirror.
He assumed the one who sent it was Qian Sheng, who was out on a long distance assignment, but requested his leave early in the morning so if he went to the office at this hour it would only lead to trouble. "I'm sorry, but can you as the front desk to sign for it, I'll pick it up after work."
"As long as nothing touches it I don't feel a thing." Xiao Ning pulled his gaze away, and put no further thought towards the matter.
"As long as nothing touches it I don't feel a thing." Xiao Ning pulled his gaze away, and put no further thought towards the matter.
It caused Xiao Ning to ask him, "Is something wrong?"
Xiao Ning got the feeling he probably couldn't buy anything Shan Yisong would like.
Xiao Ning got the feeling he probably couldn't buy anything Shan Yisong would like.
That guy really did just go there to buy groceries, so without going to other areas at all, the two then pushed the singular cart filled with the necessary ingredients to the cashier, and Xiao Ning pulled out his wallet.
"Does it still hurt?" Seeing his movements, Shan Haiming asked.
Xiao Ning: "..."
However, despite him saying this, Xiao Ning still had no intention of only putting in a minimum amount of effort with regard to Shan Haiming's matter, asked a few more questions. But having grown impatient of his questioning, Shan Haiming asked, "Why are you acting like you're actually going there to win my parent's favour?"
As he held the cat i his arms Xiao Ning got a whiff of the garbage scent all over the cat's body. So smiling at the little one in his hold, he then said, "The first thing we're going to do once we get back is give you a bath."
Without care, Xiao Ning simply laughed as he added, "I asked for it."
Can you please be a little more aware of your tall, rich, and handsome status?
Shan Haiming directly pushed the cart over to order a freshly killed fish. After taking the fish, they just went around to other places, picking where at random.
"Has the matter been settled?" as Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel, he asked.
"As long as nothing touches it I don't feel a thing." Xiao Ning pulled his gaze away, and put no further thought towards the matter.
A dirty little white cat was digging through some garbage that was carelessly scattered outside the bin.
Xiao Ning: "..."
Feeling a little worried by the sound which came from Lu Yan's end of the cal, Xiao Ning stared blankly at the phone in his hand.
"It's not bad..." Xiao Ning replied forcefully.
Get cat: ☑ _(:зゝ∠)_]]]
"Has the matter been settled?" as Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel, he asked.
Xiao Ning was a bit shocked.
It took Xiao Ning a beat while to understand what Shan Haiming was referring to, and he could only reply with uncertainty: "Maybe."
He received another phone call, but this time it was from a delivery service informing him a package from Yunnan Province had arrived and was currently at his office.
Xiao Ning himself couldn't say for certain all that was involeved in his emotional breakdown the night before, but he could say it was not all grievances. He was still a grown man, after all, one who made those choices himself. So what was there for him to feel wronged about?
What's more, Xiao Ning was not angry because Xia Li hitting him either. Nonetheless, he was seen as a threat by a kitten trying to protect its food, and its actions were no more than a scratch.
Xiao Ning got the feeling he probably couldn't buy anything Shan Yisong would like.
After circling twice, it seemed to have noticed Xiao Ning was not too far away. It also appeared to not be afraid of people, so it squatted into a little white ball where it had stood before crying out some meows.
Shan Haiming asked nothing further, only giving him a look that read: you really have no taste, before continuing to push the cart forward.
It's cries were so light, just light enough to be heard, and for its delicate sound to make one's heart grow soft.
What's more, Xiao Ning was not angry because Xia Li hitting him either. Nonetheless, he was seen as a threat by a kitten trying to protect its food, and its actions were no more than a scratch.
It tastes so bad, yet you still had two pieces?...
"Supermarket," Shan Haiming replied simply.
"As long as nothing touches it I don't feel a thing." Xiao Ning pulled his gaze away, and put no further thought towards the matter.
Without care, Xiao Ning simply laughed as he added, "I asked for it."
Xiao Ning then took out the box of cake and said helplessly, "Then I'll pay for this."
It tastes so good!
The grocery store clerk: "..."
"Then learn to be smarter next time." Shan Haiming then added, "And don't forget to be quick."
But unlike last time, this time around, the squirrel-tailed fish was very delicious. It was almost as good as the ones in restaurants. The taste causing Xiao Ning to hold his chopsticks in surprise.
Xiao Ning chuckled in reply, adding, "Yeah. I think so too."
But Shan Haiming gave him no answer, only letting out a chuckle before saying, "Let's go."
Seeing this food critic persona of Xiao Ning's, Shan Haiming couldn't help himself from letting out a laugh. "Enough chit-chat, just eat up, every single bite."
It was really strange for there to be stray cats in that gated community, so Xiao Ning couldn't help from standing there to watch for a while. The cat dug around for a long time but it had't dung out anything to eat. It couldn't jump up to reach the high garbage bin, so it could only circle around the base of the bins.

◈◇◈
Shan Haiming asked nothing further, only giving him a look that read: you really have no taste, before continuing to push the cart forward.
He didn't need to say that given how Xiao Ning would naturally clean his plate, eating everything and leaving only a pile of fish bones behind.
He received another phone call, but this time it was from a delivery service informing him a package from Yunnan Province had arrived and was currently at his office.
After circling twice, it seemed to have noticed Xiao Ning was not too far away. It also appeared to not be afraid of people, so it squatted into a little white ball where it had stood before crying out some meows.

After he hung up, Xiao Ning remembered he message Shan Haiming had sent him last night. "So your mom likes lilies, right?"
However, despite him saying this, Xiao Ning still had no intention of only putting in a minimum amount of effort with regard to Shan Haiming's matter, asked a few more questions. But having grown impatient of his questioning, Shan Haiming asked, "Why are you acting like you're actually going there to win my parent's favour?"
Since we're heading to the supermarket, does it mean we aren't going out to eat? Xiao Ning then looked at the time, They couldn't be counted at as being too late as it was barely eleven o'clock.
The grocery clerk them said to them warmly, "This is our new product, we're currently having an event, and it's very popular."
"Yep. They're at the house all year round. But no matter how much there are, she'll still keep some in vases." Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel as he continued, "In fact, she likes all types of flowers."
The elevator took then all the way down to the underground parking lot. Xiao Ning went to sit in the front passenger seat of his own volition, then, as he he sat, he looked at his face in the rear-view mirror.
An abandoned cat?
But unlike last time, this time around, the squirrel-tailed fish was very delicious. It was almost as good as the ones in restaurants. The taste causing Xiao Ning to hold his chopsticks in surprise.
It tastes so good!
"Has the matter been settled?" as Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel, he asked.
Xiao Ning nodded upon hearing this, making a note of it before asking, "Then what about your dad?"
Xiao Ning's heart was moved, the strange feeling it carried passing quickly as he held his bowl. "The fish was cooked beautifully, the sweet and sour sauce was just right, the skin was fried crisp, yet the meat inside was still quite tender."
Xiao Ning's heart was moved, the strange feeling it carried passing quickly as he held his bowl. "The fish was cooked beautifully, the sweet and sour sauce was just right, the skin was fried crisp, yet the meat inside was still quite tender."
Xiao Ning made his way over, standing beside him. "So where are we going?"
As he held the cat i his arms Xiao Ning got a whiff of the garbage scent all over the cat's body. So smiling at the little one in his hold, he then said, "The first thing we're going to do once we get back is give you a bath."
It's cries were so light, just light enough to be heard, and for its delicate sound to make one's heart grow soft.
"I already told you last time," Shan Haiming said, then continued, "you don't need to worry about him. He doesn't like anything."
They really had gone to the supermarket to buy groceries.
Xiao Ning got the feeling he probably couldn't buy anything Shan Yisong would like.
Xiao Ning made his way over, standing beside him. "So where are we going?"
Xiao Ning, with a bot of hesitance, made up his mind and approached the kitten very carefully. But the kitten didn't run off, staying right where it was as it stared towards him. And upon getting closer, Xiao Ning could see the little creature's eyes were bright, sparkling blue.
Xiao Ning: "..."
But Shan Haiming intervened, saying, "I'll pay for the groceries."
After they ate, Xiao Ning cleaned up the table and the kitchen, packing all the waste into a plastic bag since it wasn't gd to leave such things in the kitchen for too long with how hot the weather had become.
Seeing him frowning as he thought deeply, Shan Haiming added, "There's no need for you to think about it too much. You already know what kind of situation this is."
Get cat: ☑ _(:зゝ∠)_]]]
An abandoned cat?
As a result, Xiao Ning stared at Shan Haiming with widened eyes, and saw that he was not saying it in jest, and immediately hurried to his apartment next door. Luckily, he had taken his clothes and other things over, so after washing up, he put on a thin shirt and pants, then hurried out the door in the time he was given.
Xiao Ning: "..."
Can you please be a little more aware of your tall, rich, and handsome status?
However, despite him saying this, Xiao Ning still had no intention of only putting in a minimum amount of effort with regard to Shan Haiming's matter, asked a few more questions. But having grown impatient of his questioning, Shan Haiming asked, "Why are you acting like you're actually going there to win my parent's favour?"

The cat dug around for a long time but it had't dung out anything to eat. It couldn't jump up to reach the high garbage bin, so it could only circle around the base of the bins.
You're so light! And I have no idea if it's because of your age, or because you you haven't eaten properly. You're just a ball of fur.
Shan Haiming asked nothing further, only giving him a look that read: you really have no taste, before continuing to push the cart forward.
Can you please be a little more aware of your tall, rich, and handsome status?
A barely noticeable sliver of pride flashed in Shan Haiming's eyes, his lips curving upwards, as he said lazily, "I told you I was going to."
After circling twice, it seemed to have noticed Xiao Ning was not too far away. It also appeared to not be afraid of people, so it squatted into a little white ball where it had stood before crying out some meows.
Feeling the grocery clerk's undisguised stare, the thin-skinned Xiao Ning picked up a box of the cake, his action leading Shan Haiming to ask, "You like this?"
Xiao Ning combed through the information he had just received in his head, as he replied, "I don't know how things will go at your parents, and this sort of matter will be shocking to them after all. But if I can make them see your boyfriend is not a bad person, then they'll have an easier time in accepting your decision."
On his way to take the trash out, he gave word to Shan Haiming, ho was now watching the television. "I'm heading downstairs."
Shan Haiming parked the car and turned to looked at Xiao Ning, whose face was brimming with earnest, and as he stared, the look in hiss eyes grew somewhat strange.
The kitten meowed, and kept its gaze on Xiao Ning.
It caused Xiao Ning to ask him, "Is something wrong?"
Shan Haiming parked the car and turned to looked at Xiao Ning, whose face was brimming with earnest, and as he stared, the look in hiss eyes grew somewhat strange.
Shan Haiming asked nothing further, only giving him a look that read: you really have no taste, before continuing to push the cart forward.
Xiao Ning got the feeling that Shan Haiming definitely has a complex about cooking.
Get cat: ☑ _(:зゝ∠)_]]]
But after taking just a few steps, he turned and walked back.
Xiao Ning, with a bot of hesitance, made up his mind and approached the kitten very carefully. But the kitten didn't run off, staying right where it was as it stared towards him. And upon getting closer, Xiao Ning could see the little creature's eyes were bright, sparkling blue.

It took Xiao Ning a beat while to understand what Shan Haiming was referring to, and he could only reply with uncertainty: "Maybe."
Xiao Ning got the feeling that Shan Haiming definitely has a complex about cooking.
He was shocked by himself not being shocked one bit by this sort of development, with him then rolling up his sleeves to get started without complaint.
While on their way they passed a sampling table for cake, and Xiao Ning saw Shan Haiming had stopped and tried a piece. But he didn't taste it on his own, but also picked up a piece and stuffed it into Xiao Ning's mouth.
The grocery clerk them said to them warmly, "This is our new product, we're currently having an event, and it's very popular."
After they ate, Xiao Ning cleaned up the table and the kitchen, packing all the waste into a plastic bag since it wasn't gd to leave such things in the kitchen for too long with how hot the weather had become.
At least it wasn't past twelve, right?
Xiao Ning then heard the sound of frying, and the fish was in the frying pan.
After giving him the money for the cake, Xiao Ning helped him divide the groceries into plastic bags then push then push them into the parking lot.
They really had gone to the supermarket to buy groceries.
Simple dishes did not worry Xiao Ning, and they had chosen to purchase meals that that were easy to to make. But Xiao Ning did indeed feel as though he he should improve his cooking skills if Shan Haiming really has a interest in cooking and wants him to join in every time.
Feeling a little worried by the sound which came from Lu Yan's end of the cal, Xiao Ning stared blankly at the phone in his hand.
It was really strange for there to be stray cats in that gated community, so Xiao Ning couldn't help from standing there to watch for a while.

Get cat: ☑ _(:зゝ∠)_]]]
Xiao Ning then seriously pondered, Should I learn to cook too? We live right across from one another, so if he cooks most of the time I could led him a hand too.
When it came to cooking, Xiao Ning's approach was methodical, and Shan Haiming's speed in preparing the fish was comparatively faster, with him not having to look at the recipe and being quite familiar with the process.
After he hung up, Xiao Ning remembered he message Shan Haiming had sent him last night. "So your mom likes lilies, right?"
"I already told you last time," Shan Haiming said, then continued, "you don't need to worry about him. He doesn't like anything."

Shan Haiming directly pushed the cart over to order a freshly killed fish. After taking the fish, they just went around to other places, picking where at random.
And, thankfully, the cat did not move from it's position, not running away at all. After Xiao Ning got hold of the cat in his hands, he let out a relieved sigh.
Can you please be a little more aware of your tall, rich, and handsome status?
Seeing him frowning as he thought deeply, Shan Haiming added, "There's no need for you to think about it too much. You already know what kind of situation this is."

"Has the matter been settled?" as Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel, he asked.
The grocery clerk them said to them warmly, "This is our new product, we're currently having an event, and it's very popular."
If it gets scared and runs off, it's fine, nothing to worry about.
Seeing what he was carrying, Shan Haiming knew what he was going down to do and sent a casual nod his way to show he understood.
A dirty little white cat was digging through some garbage that was carelessly scattered outside the bin.
So this was what he meat when he said he'd make it up to me before, and not the time he invited me for dinner after.
Feeling a little worried by the sound which came from Lu Yan's end of the cal, Xiao Ning stared blankly at the phone in his hand.
When he noticed Xiao Ning had chewed it and swallowed, Shan Haiming fed Xiao Ning another piece before eating a second one himself. "Let's pad our stomach first. Want another?"
Without care, Xiao Ning simply laughed as he added, "I asked for it."
Shan Haiming was already standing in front of the elevator when he came out, and seeing the elevator had rose to the fifth floor, it was clear he had also pushed the button in advanced.
N/A
The grocery store clerk: "..."
"Ah, no." Xiao Ning put his phone away. "Just wait a minute so I can go change my clothes."
Xiao Ning: "..."
Xiao Ning chuckled in reply, adding, "Yeah. I think so too."
Xiao Ning tossed the garbage into the bin then turned to walk away, but as he did, he noticed a small puff of white moved from the corner of his eye. His steps halted unconsciously and he turned to look in that direction.
Xiao Ning: "..."
Can you please be a little more aware of your tall, rich, and handsome status?
Since we're heading to the supermarket, does it mean we aren't going out to eat? Xiao Ning then looked at the time, They couldn't be counted at as being too late as it was barely eleven o'clock.

Xiao Ning was a bit shocked.
Feeling the grocery clerk's undisguised stare, the thin-skinned Xiao Ning picked up a box of the cake, his action leading Shan Haiming to ask, "You like this?"
The garbage bins were located in the courtyard, Xia Ning had seen them when he came and went many tines, so it didn't take long for him to find his way. The greenery and cleaning there was very well done, but after lunch, there was so shortage of garbage in the bins. What's more, the weather that day just happened to be very god, and very warm. So the moment he got close, he could smell that smell.
"It's not bad..." Xiao Ning replied forcefully.
Shan Haiming was already standing in front of the elevator when he came out, and seeing the elevator had rose to the fifth floor, it was clear he had also pushed the button in advanced.
Shan Haiming asked nothing further, only giving him a look that read: you really have no taste, before continuing to push the cart forward.

That guy really did just go there to buy groceries, so without going to other areas at all, the two then pushed the singular cart filled with the necessary ingredients to the cashier, and Xiao Ning pulled out his wallet.
"I'll only be responsible for the fish, you can handle the rest."
The elevator took then all the way down to the underground parking lot. Xiao Ning went to sit in the front passenger seat of his own volition, then, as he he sat, he looked at his face in the rear-view mirror.
"I'll only be responsible for the fish, you can handle the rest."
Shan Haiming was already standing in front of the elevator when he came out, and seeing the elevator had rose to the fifth floor, it was clear he had also pushed the button in advanced.
The pleasantly surprised Xiao Ning then looked towards Shan Haiming. "You're incredible. It's only your second time making it yet it's so much better."
But Shan Haiming intervened, saying, "I'll pay for the groceries."
Xiao Ning then heard the sound of frying, and the fish was in the frying pan.
After the dishes were placed on the table, it really made a person feel a sense of déjà vu. Again, the squirrel-tailed fish and curried chicken were the two main dishes, ad beside them, were sautéed seasonal veggies that were unfortunately a little overdone as the green in them wasn't as vibrant.
Xiao Ning then took out the box of cake and said helplessly, "Then I'll pay for this."
Xiao Ning, with a bot of hesitance, made up his mind and approached the kitten very carefully. But the kitten didn't run off, staying right where it was as it stared towards him. And upon getting closer, Xiao Ning could see the little creature's eyes were bright, sparkling blue.
To which Shan Haiming said, "You have five."
Xiao Ning was a bit shocked.
He received another phone call, but this time it was from a delivery service informing him a package from Yunnan Province had arrived and was currently at his office.
Xiao Ning then took out the box of cake and said helplessly, "Then I'll pay for this."
Seeing what he was carrying, Shan Haiming knew what he was going down to do and sent a casual nod his way to show he understood.

Shan Haiming parked the car and turned to looked at Xiao Ning, whose face was brimming with earnest, and as he stared, the look in hiss eyes grew somewhat strange.
Shan Haiming contemptuously swept his gaze over that cake and Xiao Ning, then turned to swipe his card. "It tastes seriously bad."
"Would you like me to take you back with me?" Xiao Ning stooped down, but made no effort to rush into holding it. "Do you want to come home with me?"
It tastes so bad, yet you still had two pieces?...
By then, Xiao Ning was able to be confirm that the dish Shan Haiming was preparing was the same squirrel-tailed fish.
Xiao Ning himself couldn't say for certain all that was involeved in his emotional breakdown the night before, but he could say it was not all grievances. He was still a grown man, after all, one who made those choices himself. So what was there for him to feel wronged about?
At least it wasn't past twelve, right?
After giving him the money for the cake, Xiao Ning helped him divide the groceries into plastic bags then push then push them into the parking lot.
"I'm going to take that as your acceptance." Xiao Ning sighed. Well, he was planning to get a cat anyhow. "Don't be afraid..."
"It's not bad..." Xiao Ning replied forcefully.
Shan Haiming asked nothing further, only giving him a look that read: you really have no taste, before continuing to push the cart forward.
It tastes so good!
By then, Xiao Ning was able to be confirm that the dish Shan Haiming was preparing was the same squirrel-tailed fish.
Shan Haiming's kitchen still looked rather new, but there was pots and pans, as well as oil, salt, vinegar and soy sauce, along with traces of use.
As a result, Xiao Ning stared at Shan Haiming with widened eyes, and saw that he was not saying it in jest, and immediately hurried to his apartment next door. Luckily, he had taken his clothes and other things over, so after washing up, he put on a thin shirt and pants, then hurried out the door in the time he was given.

Make it up to you
You're so light! And I have no idea if it's because of your age, or because you you haven't eaten properly. You're just a ball of fur.

Can you please be a little more aware of your tall, rich, and handsome status?
Shan Haiming directly pushed the cart over to order a freshly killed fish. After taking the fish, they just went around to other places, picking where at random.
"Ah, no." Xiao Ning put his phone away. "Just wait a minute so I can go change my clothes."
Xiao Ning then seriously pondered, Should I learn to cook too? We live right across from one another, so if he cooks most of the time I could led him a hand too.
The kitten meowed, and kept its gaze on Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning's heart was moved, the strange feeling it carried passing quickly as he held his bowl. "The fish was cooked beautifully, the sweet and sour sauce was just right, the skin was fried crisp, yet the meat inside was still quite tender."
Feeling a little worried by the sound which came from Lu Yan's end of the cal, Xiao Ning stared blankly at the phone in his hand.
Feeling a little worried by the sound which came from Lu Yan's end of the cal, Xiao Ning stared blankly at the phone in his hand.
He didn't need to say that given how Xiao Ning would naturally clean his plate, eating everything and leaving only a pile of fish bones behind.
Seeing this food critic persona of Xiao Ning's, Shan Haiming couldn't help himself from letting out a laugh. "Enough chit-chat, just eat up, every single bite."
Xiao Ning got the feeling that Shan Haiming definitely has a complex about cooking.
Xiao Ning got the feeling he probably couldn't buy anything Shan Yisong would like.
Xiao Ning: "..."
Xiao Ning, with a bot of hesitance, made up his mind and approached the kitten very carefully. But the kitten didn't run off, staying right where it was as it stared towards him. And upon getting closer, Xiao Ning could see the little creature's eyes were bright, sparkling blue.
Standing beside him, Shan Haiming stared at him while asking, "Another call?"
What's more, Xiao Ning was not angry because Xia Li hitting him either. Nonetheless, he was seen as a threat by a kitten trying to protect its food, and its actions were no more than a scratch.
Xiao Ning chuckled in reply, adding, "Yeah. I think so too."
He didn't need to say that given how Xiao Ning would naturally clean his plate, eating everything and leaving only a pile of fish bones behind.
Xiao Ning then seriously pondered, Should I learn to cook too? We live right across from one another, so if he cooks most of the time I could led him a hand too.
And, thankfully, the cat did not move from it's position, not running away at all. After Xiao Ning got hold of the cat in his hands, he let out a relieved sigh.
He was shocked by himself not being shocked one bit by this sort of development, with him then rolling up his sleeves to get started without complaint.
After they ate, Xiao Ning cleaned up the table and the kitchen, packing all the waste into a plastic bag since it wasn't gd to leave such things in the kitchen for too long with how hot the weather had become.
It caused Xiao Ning to ask him, "Is something wrong?"
Shan Haiming asked nothing further, only giving him a look that read: you really have no taste, before continuing to push the cart forward.
But Shan Haiming intervened, saying, "I'll pay for the groceries."
It took Xiao Ning a beat while to understand what Shan Haiming was referring to, and he could only reply with uncertainty: "Maybe."
◈◇◈
On his way to take the trash out, he gave word to Shan Haiming, ho was now watching the television. "I'm heading downstairs."
He didn't need to say that given how Xiao Ning would naturally clean his plate, eating everything and leaving only a pile of fish bones behind.
"Yep. They're at the house all year round. But no matter how much there are, she'll still keep some in vases." Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel as he continued, "In fact, she likes all types of flowers."
Shan Haiming asked nothing further, only giving him a look that read: you really have no taste, before continuing to push the cart forward.
◈◇◈
"I already told you last time," Shan Haiming said, then continued, "you don't need to worry about him. He doesn't like anything."
Seeing what he was carrying, Shan Haiming knew what he was going down to do and sent a casual nod his way to show he understood.
Shan Haiming directly pushed the cart over to order a freshly killed fish. After taking the fish, they just went around to other places, picking where at random.
Since we're heading to the supermarket, does it mean we aren't going out to eat? Xiao Ning then looked at the time, They couldn't be counted at as being too late as it was barely eleven o'clock.
Simple dishes did not worry Xiao Ning, and they had chosen to purchase meals that that were easy to to make. But Xiao Ning did indeed feel as though he he should improve his cooking skills if Shan Haiming really has a interest in cooking and wants him to join in every time.
To which Shan Haiming said, "You have five."
After circling twice, it seemed to have noticed Xiao Ning was not too far away. It also appeared to not be afraid of people, so it squatted into a little white ball where it had stood before crying out some meows.
But Shan Haiming intervened, saying, "I'll pay for the groceries."
Standing in the kitchen, Shan Haiming naturally divided the labour between the two.
The garbage bins were located in the courtyard, Xia Ning had seen them when he came and went many tines, so it didn't take long for him to find his way. The greenery and cleaning there was very well done, but after lunch, there was so shortage of garbage in the bins. What's more, the weather that day just happened to be very god, and very warm. So the moment he got close, he could smell that smell.
Feeling the grocery clerk's undisguised stare, the thin-skinned Xiao Ning picked up a box of the cake, his action leading Shan Haiming to ask, "You like this?"
"Would you like me to take you back with me?" Xiao Ning stooped down, but made no effort to rush into holding it. "Do you want to come home with me?"
Xiao Ning combed through the information he had just received in his head, as he replied, "I don't know how things will go at your parents, and this sort of matter will be shocking to them after all. But if I can make them see your boyfriend is not a bad person, then they'll have an easier time in accepting your decision."
"Would you like me to take you back with me?" Xiao Ning stooped down, but made no effort to rush into holding it. "Do you want to come home with me?"
It caused Xiao Ning to ask him, "Is something wrong?"
Xiao Ning tossed the garbage into the bin then turned to walk away, but as he did, he noticed a small puff of white moved from the corner of his eye. His steps halted unconsciously and he turned to look in that direction.
While on their way they passed a sampling table for cake, and Xiao Ning saw Shan Haiming had stopped and tried a piece. But he didn't taste it on his own, but also picked up a piece and stuffed it into Xiao Ning's mouth.
Seeing this food critic persona of Xiao Ning's, Shan Haiming couldn't help himself from letting out a laugh. "Enough chit-chat, just eat up, every single bite."
And, thankfully, the cat did not move from it's position, not running away at all. After Xiao Ning got hold of the cat in his hands, he let out a relieved sigh.
A barely noticeable sliver of pride flashed in Shan Haiming's eyes, his lips curving upwards, as he said lazily, "I told you I was going to."
He slowly reached out his hands, so as to avoid the kitten running away.
A dirty little white cat was digging through some garbage that was carelessly scattered outside the bin.
◈◇◈
After circling twice, it seemed to have noticed Xiao Ning was not too far away. It also appeared to not be afraid of people, so it squatted into a little white ball where it had stood before crying out some meows.
To which Shan Haiming said, "You have five."
An abandoned cat?
It's cries were so light, just light enough to be heard, and for its delicate sound to make one's heart grow soft.
Get cat: ☑ _(:зゝ∠)_]]]
At least it wasn't past twelve, right?
It was really strange for there to be stray cats in that gated community, so Xiao Ning couldn't help from standing there to watch for a while. The cat dug around for a long time but it had't dung out anything to eat. It couldn't jump up to reach the high garbage bin, so it could only circle around the base of the bins.
Can you please be a little more aware of your tall, rich, and handsome status?
After circling twice, it seemed to have noticed Xiao Ning was not too far away. It also appeared to not be afraid of people, so it squatted into a little white ball where it had stood before crying out some meows.
You're so light! And I have no idea if it's because of your age, or because you you haven't eaten properly. You're just a ball of fur.
Get cat: ☑ _(:зゝ∠)_]]]
But unlike last time, this time around, the squirrel-tailed fish was very delicious. It was almost as good as the ones in restaurants. The taste causing Xiao Ning to hold his chopsticks in surprise.
As he held the cat i his arms Xiao Ning got a whiff of the garbage scent all over the cat's body. So smiling at the little one in his hold, he then said, "The first thing we're going to do once we get back is give you a bath."
Seeing what he was carrying, Shan Haiming knew what he was going down to do and sent a casual nod his way to show he understood.
And, thankfully, the cat did not move from it's position, not running away at all. After Xiao Ning got hold of the cat in his hands, he let out a relieved sigh.

Xiao Ning got the feeling he probably couldn't buy anything Shan Yisong would like.
The kitten meowed, and kept its gaze on Xiao Ning.
But Shan Haiming gave him no answer, only letting out a chuckle before saying, "Let's go."
Having seen enough, Xiao Ning turned and walked away.
"I already told you last time," Shan Haiming said, then continued, "you don't need to worry about him. He doesn't like anything."
The grocery clerk them said to them warmly, "This is our new product, we're currently having an event, and it's very popular."
Xiao Ning, with a bot of hesitance, made up his mind and approached the kitten very carefully. But the kitten didn't run off, staying right where it was as it stared towards him. And upon getting closer, Xiao Ning could see the little creature's eyes were bright, sparkling blue.
However, despite him saying this, Xiao Ning still had no intention of only putting in a minimum amount of effort with regard to Shan Haiming's matter, asked a few more questions. But having grown impatient of his questioning, Shan Haiming asked, "Why are you acting like you're actually going there to win my parent's favour?"
Xiao Ning made his way over, standing beside him. "So where are we going?"
But after taking just a few steps, he turned and walked back.
Standing beside him, Shan Haiming stared at him while asking, "Another call?"
◈◇◈
"Then learn to be smarter next time." Shan Haiming then added, "And don't forget to be quick."
"Yep. They're at the house all year round. But no matter how much there are, she'll still keep some in vases." Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel as he continued, "In fact, she likes all types of flowers."
The grocery store clerk: "..."
Shan Haiming parked the car and turned to looked at Xiao Ning, whose face was brimming with earnest, and as he stared, the look in hiss eyes grew somewhat strange.
"Has the matter been settled?" as Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel, he asked.
If it gets scared and runs off, it's fine, nothing to worry about.
"Does it still hurt?" Seeing his movements, Shan Haiming asked.
After giving him the money for the cake, Xiao Ning helped him divide the groceries into plastic bags then push then push them into the parking lot.
Having seen enough, Xiao Ning turned and walked away.
The elevator took then all the way down to the underground parking lot. Xiao Ning went to sit in the front passenger seat of his own volition, then, as he he sat, he looked at his face in the rear-view mirror.
It tastes so bad, yet you still had two pieces?...
Xiao Ning, with a bot of hesitance, made up his mind and approached the kitten very carefully. But the kitten didn't run off, staying right where it was as it stared towards him. And upon getting closer, Xiao Ning could see the little creature's eyes were bright, sparkling blue.
When he noticed Xiao Ning had chewed it and swallowed, Shan Haiming fed Xiao Ning another piece before eating a second one himself. "Let's pad our stomach first. Want another?"
The grocery clerk them said to them warmly, "This is our new product, we're currently having an event, and it's very popular."
Make it up to you
Can you please be a little more aware of your tall, rich, and handsome status?
"Yep. They're at the house all year round. But no matter how much there are, she'll still keep some in vases." Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel as he continued, "In fact, she likes all types of flowers."

"Ah, no." Xiao Ning put his phone away. "Just wait a minute so I can go change my clothes."
It tastes so good!
"Has the matter been settled?" as Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel, he asked.
The kitten meowed, and kept its gaze on Xiao Ning.
"It's not bad..." Xiao Ning replied forcefully.
"I'm going to take that as your acceptance." Xiao Ning sighed. Well, he was planning to get a cat anyhow. "Don't be afraid..."
To which Shan Haiming said, "You have five."
But Shan Haiming gave him no answer, only letting out a chuckle before saying, "Let's go."
Xiao Ning nodded upon hearing this, making a note of it before asking, "Then what about your dad?"
The kitten meowed, and kept its gaze on Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning got the feeling he probably couldn't buy anything Shan Yisong would like.
He slowly reached out his hands, so as to avoid the kitten running away.
"Then learn to be smarter next time." Shan Haiming then added, "And don't forget to be quick."
"I'll only be responsible for the fish, you can handle the rest."
To which Shan Haiming said, "You have five."
Xiao Ning got the feeling that Shan Haiming definitely has a complex about cooking.
As he held the cat i his arms Xiao Ning got a whiff of the garbage scent all over the cat's body. So smiling at the little one in his hold, he then said, "The first thing we're going to do once we get back is give you a bath."

After the dishes were placed on the table, it really made a person feel a sense of déjà vu. Again, the squirrel-tailed fish and curried chicken were the two main dishes, ad beside them, were sautéed seasonal veggies that were unfortunately a little overdone as the green in them wasn't as vibrant.
"It's not bad..." Xiao Ning replied forcefully.
The garbage bins were located in the courtyard, Xia Ning had seen them when he came and went many tines, so it didn't take long for him to find his way.

"Supermarket," Shan Haiming replied simply.
When he noticed Xiao Ning had chewed it and swallowed, Shan Haiming fed Xiao Ning another piece before eating a second one himself. "Let's pad our stomach first. Want another?"
"Has the matter been settled?" as Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel, he asked.

Luckily, he had taken his clothes and other things over, so after washing up, he put on a thin shirt and pants, then hurried out the door in the time he was given.He was shocked by himself not being shocked one bit by this sort of development, with him then rolling up his sleeves to get started without complaint.Shan Haiming contemptuously swept his gaze over that cake and Xiao Ning, then turned to swipe his card. "It tastes seriously bad."And, thankfully, the cat did not move from it's position, not running away at all. After Xiao Ning got hold of the cat in his hands, he let out a relieved sigh."Ah, no." Xiao Ning put his phone away. "Just wait a minute so I can go change my clothes."The pleasantly surprised Xiao Ning then looked towards Shan Haiming. "You're incredible. It's only your second time making it yet it's so much better."By then, Xiao Ning was able to be confirm that the dish Shan Haiming was preparing was the same squirrel-tailed fish.Xiao Ning made his way over, standing beside him. "So where are we going?"The grocery store clerk: "..."They really had gone to the supermarket to buy groceries.Can you please be a little more aware of your tall, rich, and handsome status?Seeing him frowning as he thought deeply, Shan Haiming added, "There's no need for you to think about it too much. You already know what kind of situation this is."To which Shan Haiming said, "You have five."Shan Haiming's kitchen still looked rather new, but there was pots and pans, as well as oil, salt, vinegar and soy sauce, along with traces of use.The kitten meowed, and kept its gaze on Xiao Ning.Shan Haiming parked the car and turned to looked at Xiao Ning, whose face was brimming with earnest, and as he stared, the look in hiss eyes grew somewhat strange.As a result, Xiao Ning stared at Shan Haiming with widened eyes, and saw that he was not saying it in jest, and immediately hurried to his apartment next door.

His steps halted unconsciously and he turned to look in that direction.When it came to cooking, Xiao Ning's approach was methodical, and Shan Haiming's speed in preparing the fish was comparatively faster, with him not having to look at the recipe and being quite familiar with the process.Seeing him frowning as he thought deeply, Shan Haiming added, "There's no need for you to think about it too much. You already know what kind of situation this is."Shan Haiming was already standing in front of the elevator when he came out, and seeing the elevator had rose to the fifth floor, it was clear he had also pushed the button in advanced.So this was what he meat when he said he'd make it up to me before, and not the time he invited me for dinner after.After he hung up, Xiao Ning remembered he message Shan Haiming had sent him last night. "So your mom likes lilies, right?"Xiao Ning himself couldn't say for certain all that was involeved in his emotional breakdown the night before, but he could say it was not all grievances. He was still a grown man, after all, one who made those choices himself.

Xiao Ning went to sit in the front passenger seat of his own volition, then, as he he sat, he looked at his face in the rear-view mirror.An abandoned cat?But unlike last time, this time around, the squirrel-tailed fish was very delicious. It was almost as good as the ones in restaurants. The taste causing Xiao Ning to hold his chopsticks in surprise.It tastes so good!"Has the matter been settled?" as Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel, he asked.Xiao Ning nodded upon hearing this, making a note of it before asking, "Then what about your dad?"Xiao Ning's heart was moved, the strange feeling it carried passing quickly as he held his bowl. "The fish was cooked beautifully, the sweet and sour sauce was just right, the skin was fried crisp, yet the meat inside was still quite tender."Xiao Ning's heart was moved, the strange feeling it carried passing quickly as he held his bowl. "The fish was cooked beautifully, the sweet and sour sauce was just right, the skin was fried crisp, yet the meat inside was still quite tender."Xiao Ning made his way over, standing beside him. "So where are we going?"As he held the cat i his arms Xiao Ning got a whiff of the garbage scent all over the cat's body. So smiling at the little one in his hold, he then said, "The first thing we're going to do once we get back is give you a bath."It's cries were so light, just light enough to be heard, and for its delicate sound to make one's heart grow soft."I already told you last time," Shan Haiming said, then continued, "you don't need to worry about him. He doesn't like anything."They really had gone to the supermarket to buy groceries.Xiao Ning got the feeling he probably couldn't buy anything Shan Yisong would like.Xiao Ning made his way over, standing beside him. "So where are we going?"Xiao Ning, with a bot of hesitance, made up his mind and approached the kitten very carefully. But the kitten didn't run off, staying right where it was as it stared towards him. And upon getting closer, Xiao Ning could see the little creature's eyes were bright, sparkling blue.Xiao Ning: "..."But Shan Haiming intervened, saying, "I'll pay for the groceries."After they ate, Xiao Ning cleaned up the table and the kitchen, packing all the waste into a plastic bag since it wasn't gd to leave such things in the kitchen for too long with how hot the weather had become.Seeing him frowning as he thought deeply, Shan Haiming added, "There's no need for you to think about it too much. You already know what kind of situation this is."Get cat: _:_An abandoned cat?As a result, Xiao Ning stared at Shan Haiming with widened eyes, and saw that he was not saying it in jest, and immediately hurried to his apartment next door. Luckily, he had taken his clothes and other things over, so after washing up, he put on a thin shirt and pants, then hurried out the door in the time he was given.Xiao Ning: "..."Can you please be a little more aware of your tall, rich, and handsome status?However, despite him saying this, Xiao Ning still had no intention of only putting in a minimum amount of effort with regard to Shan Haiming's matter, asked a few more questions. But having grown impatient of his questioning, Shan Haiming asked, "Why are you acting like you're actually going there to win my parent's favour?"It was really strange for there to be stray cats in that gated community, so Xiao Ning couldn't help from standing there to watch for a while. The cat dug around for a long time but it had't dung out anything to eat. It couldn't jump up to reach the high garbage bin, so it could only circle around the base of the bins.You're so light! And I have no idea if it's because of your age, or because you you haven't eaten properly. You're just a ball of fur.Shan Haiming asked nothing further, only giving him a look that read: you really have no taste, before continuing to push the cart forward.Can you please be a little more aware of your tall, rich, and handsome status?A barely noticeable sliver of pride flashed in Shan Haiming's eyes, his lips curving upwards, as he said lazily, "I told you I was going to."After circling twice, it seemed to have noticed Xiao Ning was not too far away. It also appeared to not be afraid of people, so it squatted into a little white ball where it had stood before crying out some meows.Feeling the grocery clerk's undisguised stare, the thin-skinned Xiao Ning picked up a box of the cake, his action leading Shan Haiming to ask, "You like this?"Xiao Ning combed through the information he had just received in his head, as he replied, "I don't know how things will go at your parents, and this sort of matter will be shocking to them after all. But if I can make them see your boyfriend is not a bad person, then they'll have an easier time in accepting your decision."On his way to take the trash out, he gave word to Shan Haiming, ho was now watching the television. "I'm heading downstairs."Shan Haiming parked the car and turned to looked at Xiao Ning, whose face was brimming with earnest, and as he stared, the look in hiss eyes grew somewhat strange.The kitten meowed, and kept its gaze on Xiao Ning.It caused Xiao Ning to ask him, "Is something wrong?"Shan Haiming parked the car and turned to looked at Xiao Ning, whose face was brimming with earnest, and as he stared, the look in hiss eyes grew somewhat strange.Shan Haiming asked nothing further, only giving him a look that read: you really have no taste, before continuing to push the cart forward.Xiao Ning got the feeling that Shan Haiming definitely has a complex about cooking.Get cat: _:_But after taking just a few steps, he turned and walked back.Xiao Ning, with a bot of hesitance, made up his mind and approached the kitten very carefully. But the kitten didn't run off, staying right where it was as it stared towards him. And upon getting closer, Xiao Ning could see the little creature's eyes were bright, sparkling blue.Xiao Ning got the feeling that Shan Haiming definitely has a complex about cooking.But Shan Haiming gave him no answer, only letting out a chuckle before saying, "Let's go."It took Xiao Ning a beat while to understand what Shan Haiming was referring to, and he could only reply with uncertainty: "Maybe."Xiao Ning got the feeling that Shan Haiming definitely has a complex about cooking.He was shocked by himself not being shocked one bit by this sort of development, with him then rolling up his sleeves to get started without complaint.While on their way they passed a sampling table for cake, and Xiao Ning saw Shan Haiming had stopped and tried a piece. But he didn't taste it on his own, but also picked up a piece and stuffed it into Xiao Ning's mouth.The grocery clerk them said to them warmly, "This is our new product, we're currently having an event, and it's very popular."After they ate, Xiao Ning cleaned up the table and the kitchen, packing all the waste into a plastic bag since it wasn't gd to leave such things in the kitchen for too long with how hot the weather had become.At least it wasn't past twelve, right?Xiao Ning then heard the sound of frying, and the fish was in the frying pan.After giving him the money for the cake, Xiao Ning helped him divide the groceries into plastic bags then push then push them into the parking lot.They really had gone to the supermarket to buy groceries.Simple dishes did not worry Xiao Ning, and they had chosen to purchase meals that that were easy to to make. But Xiao Ning did indeed feel as though he he should improve his cooking skills if Shan Haiming really has a interest in cooking and wants him to join in every time.Feeling a little worried by the sound which came from Lu Yan's end of the cal, Xiao Ning stared blankly at the phone in his hand.It was really strange for there to be stray cats in that gated community, so Xiao Ning couldn't help from standing there to watch for a while. The cat dug around for a long time but it had't dung out anything to eat. It couldn't jump up to reach the high garbage bin, so it could only circle around the base of the bins.It tastes so good!Get cat: _:_Xiao Ning then seriously pondered,Should I learn to cook too? We live right across from one another, so if he cooks most of the time I could led him a hand too.When it came to cooking, Xiao Ning's approach was methodical, and Shan Haiming's speed in preparing the fish was comparatively faster, with him not having to look at the recipe and being quite familiar with the process.After he hung up, Xiao Ning remembered he message Shan Haiming had sent him last night. "So your mom likes lilies, right?""I already told you last time," Shan Haiming said, then continued, "you don't need to worry about him. He doesn't like anything."However, despite him saying this, Xiao Ning still had no intention of only putting in a minimum amount of effort with regard to Shan Haiming's matter, asked a few more questions. But having grown impatient of his questioning, Shan Haiming asked, "Why are you acting like you're actually going there to win my parent's favour?"Xiao Ning himself couldn't say for certain all that was involeved in his emotional breakdown the night before, but he could say it was not all grievances. He was still a grown man, after all, one who made those choices himself. So what was there for him to feel wronged about?Shan Haiming directly pushed the cart over to order a freshly killed fish. After taking the fish, they just went around to other places, picking where at random.And, thankfully, the cat did not move from it's position, not running away at all. After Xiao Ning got hold of the cat in his hands, he let out a relieved sigh.Can you please be a little more aware of your tall, rich, and handsome status?Seeing him frowning as he thought deeply, Shan Haiming added, "There's no need for you to think about it too much. You already know what kind of situation this is."While on their way they passed a sampling table for cake, and Xiao Ning saw Shan Haiming had stopped and tried a piece. But he didn't taste it on his own, but also picked up a piece and stuffed it into Xiao Ning's mouth."Has the matter been settled?" as Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel, he asked.The grocery clerk them said to them warmly, "This is our new product, we're currently having an event, and it's very popular."If it gets scared and runs off, it's fine, nothing to worry about.Seeing what he was carrying, Shan Haiming knew what he was going down to do and sent a casual nod his way to show he understood.A dirty little white cat was digging through some garbage that was carelessly scattered outside the bin.So this was what he meat when he said he'd make it up to me before, and not the time he invited me for dinner after.Feeling a little worried by the sound which came from Lu Yan's end of the cal, Xiao Ning stared blankly at the phone in his hand.When he noticed Xiao Ning had chewed it and swallowed, Shan Haiming fed Xiao Ning another piece before eating a second one himself. "Let's pad our stomach first. Want another?"Without care, Xiao Ning simply laughed as he added, "I asked for it."Shan Haiming was already standing in front of the elevator when he came out, and seeing the elevator had rose to the fifth floor, it was clear he had also pushed the button in advanced.N/AThe grocery store clerk: "...""Ah, no." Xiao Ning put his phone away. "Just wait a minute so I can go change my clothes."Xiao Ning: "..."Xiao Ning chuckled in reply, adding, "Yeah. I think so too."Xiao Ning tossed the garbage into the bin then turned to walk away, but as he did, he noticed a small puff of white moved from the corner of his eye. His steps halted unconsciously and he turned to look in that direction.Xiao Ning: "..."Can you please be a little more aware of your tall, rich, and handsome status?Since we're heading to the supermarket, does it mean we aren't going out to eat?Xiao Ning then looked at the time, They couldn't be counted at as being too late as it was barely eleven o'clock.Xiao Ning himself couldn't say for certain all that was involeved in his emotional breakdown the night before, but he could say it was not all grievances. He was still a grown man, after all, one who made those choices himself. So what was there for him to feel wronged about?It tastes so bad, yet you still had two pieces?...As he held the cat i his arms Xiao Ning got a whiff of the garbage scent all over the cat's body. So smiling at the little one in his hold, he then said, "The first thing we're going to do once we get back is give you a bath."Xiao Ning was a bit shocked.Feeling the grocery clerk's undisguised stare, the thin-skinned Xiao Ning picked up a box of the cake, his action leading Shan Haiming to ask, "You like this?"The garbage bins were located in the courtyard, Xia Ning had seen them when he came and went many tines, so it didn't take long for him to find his way. The greenery and cleaning there was very well done, but after lunch, there was so shortage of garbage in the bins. What's more, the weather that day just happened to be very god, and very warm. So the moment he got close, he could smell that smell."It's not bad..." Xiao Ning replied forcefully.Shan Haiming was already standing in front of the elevator when he came out, and seeing the elevator had rose to the fifth floor, it was clear he had also pushed the button in advanced.Shan Haiming asked nothing further, only giving him a look that read: you really have no taste, before continuing to push the cart forward.After giving him the money for the cake, Xiao Ning helped him divide the groceries into plastic bags then push then push them into the parking lot."As long as nothing touches it I don't feel a thing." Xiao Ning pulled his gaze away, and put no further thought towards the matter.A barely noticeable sliver of pride flashed in Shan Haiming's eyes, his lips curving upwards, as he said lazily, "I told you I was going to."That guy really did just go there to buy groceries, so without going to other areas at all, the two then pushed the singular cart filled with the necessary ingredients to the cashier, and Xiao Ning pulled out his wallet."I'll only be responsible for the fish, you can handle the rest."The elevator took then all the way down to the underground parking lot. Xiao Ning went to sit in the front passenger seat of his own volition, then, as he he sat, he looked at his face in the rear-view mirror."I'll only be responsible for the fish, you can handle the rest."Shan Haiming was already standing in front of the elevator when he came out, and seeing the elevator had rose to the fifth floor, it was clear he had also pushed the button in advanced.The pleasantly surprised Xiao Ning then looked towards Shan Haiming. "You're incredible. It's only your second time making it yet it's so much better."But Shan Haiming intervened, saying, "I'll pay for the groceries."Xiao Ning then heard the sound of frying, and the fish was in the frying pan.After the dishes were placed on the table, it really made a person feel a sense ofdj vu. Again, the squirrel-tailed fish and curried chicken were the two main dishes, ad beside them, were sauted seasonal veggies that were unfortunately a little overdone as the green in them wasn't as vibrant.Xiao Ning then took out the box of cake and said helplessly, "Then I'll pay for this."Xiao Ning, with a bot of hesitance, made up his mind and approached the kitten very carefully. But the kitten didn't run off, staying right where it was as it stared towards him. And upon getting closer, Xiao Ning could see the little creature's eyes were bright, sparkling blue.To which Shan Haiming said, "You have five."Xiao Ning was a bit shocked.He received another phone call, but this time it was from a delivery service informing him a package from Yunnan Province had arrived and was currently at his office.Xiao Ning then took out the box of cake and said helplessly, "Then I'll pay for this."Seeing what he was carrying, Shan Haiming knew what he was going down to do and sent a casual nod his way to show he understood.Xiao Ning then heard the sound of frying, and the fish was in the frying pan.Xiao Ning got the feeling that Shan Haiming definitely has a complex about cooking.While on their way they passed a sampling table for cake, and Xiao Ning saw Shan Haiming had stopped and tried a piece.

"It tastes seriously bad.""Would you like me to take you back with me?" Xiao Ning stooped down, but made no effort to rush into holding it. "Do you want to come home with me?"It tastes so bad, yet you still had two pieces?...By then, Xiao Ning was able to be confirm that the dish Shan Haiming was preparing was the same squirrel-tailed fish.Xiao Ning himself couldn't say for certain all that was involeved in his emotional breakdown the night before, but he could say it was not all grievances. He was still a grown man, after all, one who made those choices himself. So what was there for him to feel wronged about?At least it wasn't past twelve, right?After giving him the money for the cake, Xiao Ning helped him divide the groceries into plastic bags then push then push them into the parking lot."I'm going to take that as your acceptance." Xiao Ning sighed. Well, he was planning to get a cat anyhow. "Don't be afraid...""It's not bad..." Xiao Ning replied forcefully.Shan Haiming asked nothing further, only giving him a look that read: you really have no taste, before continuing to push the cart forward.It tastes so good!By then, Xiao Ning was able to be confirm that the dish Shan Haiming was preparing was the same squirrel-tailed fish.Shan Haiming's kitchen still looked rather new, but there was pots and pans, as well as oil, salt, vinegar and soy sauce, along with traces of use.As a result, Xiao Ning stared at Shan Haiming with widened eyes, and saw that he was not saying it in jest, and immediately hurried to his apartment next door. Luckily, he had taken his clothes and other things over, so after washing up, he put on a thin shirt and pants, then hurried out the door in the time he was given."I'll only be responsible for the fish, you can handle the rest."Xiao Ning, with a bot of hesitance, made up his mind and approached the kitten very carefully. But the kitten didn't run off, staying right where it was as it stared towards him. And upon getting closer, Xiao Ning could see the little creature's eyes were bright, sparkling blue.Standing in the kitchen, Shan Haiming naturally divided the labour between the two.After he hung up, Xiao Ning remembered he message Shan Haiming had sent him last night. "So your mom likes lilies, right?"And, thankfully, the cat did not move from it's position, not running away at all. After Xiao Ning got hold of the cat in his hands, he let out a relieved sigh."It's not bad..."

And I have no idea if it's because of your age, or because you you haven't eaten properly. You're just a ball of fur.The grocery store clerk: "..."Simple dishes did not worry Xiao Ning, and they had chosen to purchase meals that that were easy to to make.

"Enough chit-chat, just eat up, every single bite."After they ate, Xiao Ning cleaned up the table and the kitchen, packing all the waste into a plastic bag since it wasn't gd to leave such things in the kitchen for too long with how hot the weather had become.Shan Haiming asked nothing further, only giving him a look that read: you really have no taste, before continuing to push the cart forward.He received another phone call, but this time it was from a delivery service informing him a package from Yunnan Province had arrived and was currently at his office.But unlike last time, this time around, the squirrel-tailed fish was very delicious.

Nonetheless, he was seen as a threat by a kitten trying to protect its food, and its actions were no more than a scratch.Xiao Ning chuckled in reply, adding, "Yeah. I think so too."He didn't need to say that given how Xiao Ning would naturally clean his plate, eating everything and leaving only a pile of fish bones behind.Xiao Ning then seriously pondered,Should I learn to cook too?

After Xiao Ning got hold of the cat in his hands, he let out a relieved sigh.And, thankfully, the cat did not move from it's position, not running away at all. After Xiao Ning got hold of the cat in his hands, he let out a relieved sigh.It's cries were so light, just light enough to be heard, and for its delicate sound to make one's heart grow soft.Xiao Ning got the feeling he probably couldn't buy anything Shan Yisong would like.The kitten meowed, and kept its gaze on Xiao Ning.But Shan Haiming gave him no answer, only letting out a chuckle before saying, "Let's go."Having seen enough, Xiao Ning turned and walked away."I already told you last time," Shan Haiming said, then continued, "you don't need to worry about him. He doesn't like anything."The grocery clerk them said to them warmly, "This is our new product, we're currently having an event, and it's very popular."Xiao Ning, with a bot of hesitance, made up his mind and approached the kitten very carefully. But the kitten didn't run off, staying right where it was as it stared towards him. And upon getting closer, Xiao Ning could see the little creature's eyes were bright, sparkling blue.However, despite him saying this, Xiao Ning still had no intention of only putting in a minimum amount of effort with regard to Shan Haiming's matter, asked a few more questions. But having grown impatient of his questioning, Shan Haiming asked, "Why are you acting like you're actually going there to win my parent's favour?"Xiao Ning made his way over, standing beside him. "So where are we going?"But after taking just a few steps, he turned and walked back.Standing beside him, Shan Haiming stared at him while asking, "Another call?""Then learn to be smarter next time." Shan Haiming then added, "And don't forget to be quick.""Yep. They're at the house all year round. But no matter how much there are, she'll still keep some in vases." Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel as he continued, "In fact, she likes all types of flowers."The grocery store clerk: "..."Shan Haiming parked the car and turned to looked at Xiao Ning, whose face was brimming with earnest, and as he stared, the look in hiss eyes grew somewhat strange."Has the matter been settled?" as Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel, he asked.If it gets scared and runs off, it's fine, nothing to worry about."Does it still hurt?" Seeing his movements, Shan Haiming asked.After giving him the money for the cake, Xiao Ning helped him divide the groceries into plastic bags then push then push them into the parking lot.Having seen enough, Xiao Ning turned and walked away.The elevator took then all the way down to the underground parking lot. Xiao Ning went to sit in the front passenger seat of his own volition, then, as he he sat, he looked at his face in the rear-view mirror.It tastes so bad, yet you still had two pieces?...Xiao Ning, with a bot of hesitance, made up his mind and approached the kitten very carefully. But the kitten didn't run off, staying right where it was as it stared towards him. And upon getting closer, Xiao Ning could see the little creature's eyes were bright, sparkling blue.When he noticed Xiao Ning had chewed it and swallowed, Shan Haiming fed Xiao Ning another piece before eating a second one himself. "Let's pad our stomach first. Want another?"The grocery clerk them said to them warmly, "This is our new product, we're currently having an event, and it's very popular."Make it up to youCan you please be a little more aware of your tall, rich, and handsome status?"Yep. They're at the house all year round. But no matter how much there are, she'll still keep some in vases." Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel as he continued, "In fact, she likes all types of flowers."Seeing this food critic persona of Xiao Ning's, Shan Haiming couldn't help himself from letting out a laugh. "Enough chit-chat, just eat up, every single bite."The grocery clerk them said to them warmly, "This is our new product, we're currently having an event, and it's very popular.""Would you like me to take you back with me?" Xiao Ning stooped down, but made no effort to rush into holding it. "Do you want to come home with me?"After they ate, Xiao Ning cleaned up the table and the kitchen, packing all the waste into a plastic bag since it wasn't gd to leave such things in the kitchen for too long with how hot the weather had become.And, thankfully, the cat did not move from it's position, not running away at all. After Xiao Ning got hold of the cat in his hands, he let out a relieved sigh."Ah, no." Xiao Ning put his phone away. "Just wait a minute so I can go change my clothes."It tastes so good!"Has the matter been settled?" as Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel, he asked.The kitten meowed, and kept its gaze on Xiao Ning."It's not bad..." Xiao Ning replied forcefully."I'm going to take that as your acceptance." Xiao Ning sighed. Well, he was planning to get a cat anyhow. "Don't be afraid..."To which Shan Haiming said, "You have five."But Shan Haiming gave him no answer, only letting out a chuckle before saying, "Let's go."Xiao Ning nodded upon hearing this, making a note of it before asking, "Then what about your dad?"The kitten meowed, and kept its gaze on Xiao Ning.Xiao Ning got the feeling he probably couldn't buy anything Shan Yisong would like.He slowly reached out his hands, so as to avoid the kitten running away."Then learn to be smarter next time." Shan Haiming then added, "And don't forget to be quick.""I'll only be responsible for the fish, you can handle the rest."To which Shan Haiming said, "You have five."Xiao Ning got the feeling that Shan Haiming definitely has a complex about cooking.As he held the cat i his arms Xiao Ning got a whiff of the garbage scent all over the cat's body. So smiling at the little one in his hold, he then said, "The first thing we're going to do once we get back is give you a bath."Seeing what he was carrying, Shan Haiming knew what he was going down to do and sent a casual nod his way to show he understood.Can you please be a little more aware of your tall, rich, and handsome status?And, thankfully, the cat did not move from it's position, not running away at all. After Xiao Ning got hold of the cat in his hands, he let out a relieved sigh.But after taking just a few steps, he turned and walked back.You're so light! And I have no idea if it's because of your age, or because you you haven't eaten properly. You're just a ball of fur.After the dishes were placed on the table, it really made a person feel a sense ofdj vu. Again, the squirrel-tailed fish and curried chicken were the two main dishes, ad beside them, were sauted seasonal veggies that were unfortunately a little overdone as the green in them wasn't as vibrant."It's not bad..." Xiao Ning replied forcefully.The garbage bins were located in the courtyard, Xia Ning had seen them when he came and went many tines, so it didn't take long for him to find his way. The greenery and cleaning there was very well done, but after lunch, there was so shortage of garbage in the bins. What's more, the weather that day just happened to be very god, and very warm. So the moment he got close, he could smell that smell.As he held the cat i his arms Xiao Ning got a whiff of the garbage scent all over the cat's body. So smiling at the little one in his hold, he then said, "The first thing we're going to do once we get back is give you a bath.""Supermarket," Shan Haiming replied simply.When he noticed Xiao Ning had chewed it and swallowed, Shan Haiming fed Xiao Ning another piece before eating a second one himself. "Let's pad our stomach first. Want another?""Has the matter been settled?" as Shan Haiming turned the steering wheel, he asked.
