Chapter 6 Salty Lies! 2
"Pfft! Chi Weiwei, can your curry rice be any worse? It would be fine if there was no improvement, but you have regressed so much. I can only sneak over to your place to have a meal of curry rice after defeating thousands of troops." Ye Hu frowned, squinted his eyes, crossed his legs, and looked at me unhappily.
It was almost closing time at night, and only at this time would Ye Hu dare to eat unscrupulously in my curry house.
"Oh." I actually sighed deeply. This is really not in line with my style.
"Why do you look like you've been abandoned? This doesn't look like the hateful Chi Weiwei I know." Ye Hu looked me up and down in confusion.
"You are the one who is abandoned! You are the one who is hateful!"
Really, does this damn guy know how to speak?
"I was just joking, why are you so fierce?" Ye Hu looked at me in surprise, and spoke slowly after a long while, "Chi Weiwei, you can't be serious..."
"Bah! Fake!" I fiercely refuted Ye Hu's hateful words.
"Okay." Ye Hu could only pout and keep silent.
"Is the curry rice I cook really that bad?" I suddenly began to doubt myself. This concerns the future of the curry restaurant.
"Uh, no, it actually tastes pretty good." Ye Hu said with a wandering look.
"To be honest, I won't hit you or scold you. Besides, even if I want to hit you or scold you, I still have to consider the face of your fans." I looked seriously at Ye Hu's costume which changed every day but was equally exaggerated, and said sincerely.
"Really?" Ye Hu looked at me doubtfully.
"Really." I swallowed.
"Chi Weiwei, the curry rice you made is the worst in the world. The curry rice you made before at least only made me sick of it once, but this time the curry rice you made not only made me sick to death, but also tasted sour, sweet, bitter and spicy. When I was eating the curry rice you made, I thought you were an old lady who had experienced all kinds of flavors in life."
"Ah!" After hearing what Ye Hu said, I was not angry, I really was not angry, I just jumped up and gave Ye Hu a big slap, making him scream.
"Ah, Chi Weiwei, are you still a girl?" Ye Hu covered his injured head tightly and looked at me innocently.
"Why not? Why am I not a girl, huh?" I put my hands on my hips and asked Ye Hu fiercely.
This damn guy, why am I not a girl?
"No...no...I mean, you look too much like a girl..." Seeing my aggressive look, Ye Hu quickly compromised to prevent the next Li Bao from coming.
"That's better." I snorted.
"Only Hua Likong can control you." Ye Hu said casually, but he seemed to remember something and looked at me in confusion. "Come to think of it, it seems like I haven't seen Hua Likong for quite a while."
When I mention this, I feel a lump in my stomach.
"I don't know. He took a few days off and didn't say anything was wrong." I said in a low voice.
"Maybe he's tired and wants to take a rest. I seemed to see him the day before yesterday..."
"Where are you? Why can't I see you?"
At the door of the curry house, a familiar and pleasant voice was heard.
I glanced up and my breathing suddenly hitched.
Who else could the tall and slender boy who was walking quickly into the curry house be but Hua Likong?
Did he come back? Was he coming back to help me or to say goodbye?
Although I don't know whether he really has ulterior motives in coming to the curry house to help me, at this moment my heart actually hopes that it is the former rather than the latter.
He approached me with a smile. Even though he was half hidden in the darkness, he was still as warm as the winter sun. Only then did I realize how charming his smile was.
My heart suddenly started beating very fast.
What ulterior motives does a curry house have? Did I mishear the conversation in the cafe that day?
I really hope I heard it wrongly, I thought to myself with some mockery.
"Hi, long time no see." A smile appeared on Ye Hu's face.
"Long time no see." Hua Likong looked at me with an unnatural expression when he said this. Maybe it was because I looked at him too seriously, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"Weiwei, what's wrong with you? Why are you in a daze?" Seeing that I was standing there in a daze without saying a word, Hua Likong looked at me worriedly and reached out his hand to brush away the hair around my ears.
"I'm fine."
I quickly took two steps back and dodged the hand that Hua Likong extended to me, which made him stunned.
"Are you okay?" Hua Likong looked at me worriedly.
"Well, it's okay, just a little dizzy." I forced a smile at the corner of my mouth, and even I didn't know whether this smile was beautiful or ugly.
"Hahaha!"
Laughter suddenly broke out in the quiet curry restaurant, and the sound startled both Hua Likong and me.
Ye Hu bent over and held his stomach, looking like he was about to cry from laughing, which made people feel very confused.
"Ye Hu! Are you sick?" I rolled my eyes at him and felt helpless when I saw that he was about to fall to the ground laughing.
Hua Likong looked puzzled.
“Hahaha, Chi Weiwei, why didn’t I realize you are so talented?” Ye Hu held his stomach and straightened up.
"Me? Skills?"
What? Are we still talking in the same world?
"Hey Ye Hu, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand a word you say?" I asked curiously.
"Hahaha."
Ye Hu laughed for a long time, but was finally frightened by Hua Likong's cold eyes and suppressed his laughter.
"Hehe, Chi Weiwei, you're really something. You have such a good acting talent and you didn't show it earlier. Then I can lead you to a rapid advancement on the road to stardom!" Ye Hu looked at me with a smile, as if he deserved a beating.
Ye Hu is such a hateful guy. He actually thought I was acting on purpose. Do I look like someone who would act on purpose?
"You are really..." Seeing Hua Likong looking at me with a weird expression, I was too lazy to explain any more.
"Okay, Weiwei, you must be exhausted these days, right? We're closed now, you go upstairs and have a rest first, I'll take care of the rest later." Hua Likong looked at me seriously and said.
"Oh." I originally tried to make some nice expressions to respond to what Hua Likong said, but in the end I found that I couldn't seem to make any expressions, so I could only respond silently.
"Ye Hu, you'd better go back quickly. It's so late. Be careful not to get molested by female fans when you go home alone." Seeing Ye Hu looking like he was enjoying the show, I threatened him in a bad mood .
I didn't expect the intimidation was quite successful. After Ye Hu heard what I said, he covered his chest with his hands in fear, as if he had been taken advantage of.
"Chi Weiwei, you are so bad!" Ye Hu curled his lips and said innocently.
"Yes, the bad guys are going to bed, and the ugly guys are still doing mischief." After saying that, I walked slowly towards the stairs.
"Chi Weiwei! You are ugly, you are ugly!"
I can imagine Ye Hu stamping his feet in anger like a little child.
As for Hua Likong... I don't know what he is like. Maybe I am not very enthusiastic about him today .
The bedside lamp was left on, and I didn't want to turn it off, mainly because I couldn't sleep, at all.
I couldn't sleep and tossed and turned in bed for an unknown amount of time until I heard Hua Likong's footsteps coming up the stairs.
I thought everything was the same as usual. After Hua Likong quietly finished everything, he passed by my room and returned to his room, but I didn't expect the footsteps seemed to stop abruptly at my door.
My heart suddenly became a knot, I felt nervous and a little upset.
I grabbed the corner of the quilt tightly with both hands, trying to slow down my rapid heartbeat. My heavy breathing became a little abnormal because of my forced suppression.
“Knock, knock.”
There was a gentle knock on the door.
Knock again, knock again, and I'll open it.
I was thinking nervously, and my palms were full of sweat as I held the corner of the quilt.
The sound of extremely light footsteps sounded again, so light that it was almost inaudible, but I still heard it.
The door creaked open and then closed gently, and Hua Likong returned to his room.
I tossed and turned in bed for a few minutes. I didn't know if Hua Likong was asleep or not, but I finally got up from the bed out of frustration.
I walked lightly to the door of the room and looked outside through the peephole, but saw nothing but darkness.
So I gently opened the door, and it was pitch black outside. Hua Likong's door was tightly closed, and I didn't know if he was asleep or not.
My feet moved forward uncontrollably, and I tiptoed to the door of Hua Likong's room. I put my ear close to the door of Hua Likong's room, but I could only hear a steady breathing sound.
Is he asleep already?
I feel inexplicably lost in my heart. I really don’t know whether I should be happy about this or worried about this?
In short, I had a sleepless night.
