Passive Voice - Chapter 3

“Didn’t you say you’d be here before the year?” Lu Yao put an extra packet of instant noodles into the pot, “Look at the mess I’m in, no preparation at all ……”

Chu Zhi Han was good at organizing a clean spot on the sofa and sat down, lifting her head and smiling, “Sorry, I just happened to approve a half-month vacation, so I wanted to come here to have some fun, and go back with you in the meantime.”

Lu Yao brewed a cup of instant coffee and served it to Chu Zhi Han, “I don’t mean to blame you. You came all the way here, I’m more than happy.”

Chu Zhi Han slightly raised the corner of her mouth. Making an expression that was polite to a fault.

Lu Yao was a little sick of this formulaic atmosphere. Normally, the two of them were as serious as a head of state talking. He had thought that they would be slightly more intimate when they met. But I didn’t expect Chu Zhi Han to sit down and create the kind of aura that made people really feel bad about patting him on the shoulder and drinking with each other as brothers and sisters.

I still remember when I was in high school, Chu Zhihan was just an ice heap, but now he has simply evolved into an iceberg.

Elegant features, mouth also habitually with a touch of smile, is a very princely temperament looks. But his personality was always invisible in its modesty and refused to let people in. To be able to maintain such a friendship with Lu Yao sounded absurd.

Lu Yao handed Chu Zhi Han the burnt noodles, “Hey, at the end of the month is like this ah …… really sorry, next week send a paycheck to make up for you to receive the wine.”

“Why do you need to be so polite, I eat you and live with you, I should find time to invite you to eat.” The way Chu Zhi Han held the bowl and ate the noodles was all very hallow. As if it was as simple and natural as being in his own home.

Lu Yao froze, the small one-room apartment he rented didn’t look like it could accommodate two big men. Not to mention that Chu Zhi Han’s dress and temperament also seemed to be much more appropriate for a star hotel.

“The original booking of the hotel had a little problem …… so the place to live did not land, had to trouble you, really sorry.” Chu Zhi Han saw his mind generally explained.

Lu Yao scratched his head in embarrassment, Chu Zhi Han saying this inevitably looked like he was a bit petty. He snorted, “No no, it’s just that I’m a bit shabby here. I’m afraid I’ve wronged you.”

“It won’t be.” Chu Zhi Han suddenly reached out her hand to help Lu Yao take down her glasses, only then did Lu Yao realize that the glasses were full of fog.

“You see, four-eyed winters are just sad.” Lu Yao smiled to herself.

“Actually, your prescription isn’t too deep, so you don’t need to bring them.” Chu Zhi Han took a tissue and wiped his glasses.

“Don’t you laugh at me.” Lu Yao reached out and brought the glasses over, “The girls in my class always tease me about a pair of starry eyes.”

“Oh?” Chu Zhi Han looked at him closely with a bit of amusement, “I think it’s quite cute.”

A 28 year old man being praised for being cute by another man of the same age isn’t something to be proud of, but Chu Zhi Han was being sincere again, so Lu Yao was too embarrassed to say anything more, so he could only laugh awkwardly a few times before continuing to eat his noodles.

When it was time to go to bed at night, Lu Yao took a shower and came out, saw Chu Zhi Han had already cleaned up the dishes, and couldn’t help but sigh with emotion that the life of two people is really richer than that of a single person.

“I’m done, you go wash.” Lu Yao spreads the pillow blanket on the sofa, his cheek is not thick enough to let a guest sleep on the sofa.

Chu Zhi Han raised his eyebrows slightly, “Why are you sleeping here tonight?”

“En, my single bed is too small, it’s too crowded for the two of us to sleep.”

Chu Zhi Han frowned, “But it’s so cold now, you’re just covering this little bit?”

“It doesn’t matter, I’m in good health.” Lu Yao was a bit helpless, it’s impossible for him to prepare a few beds of futons as a bachelor.

“We’d better sleep together.” Chu Zhi Han put the pillows and blankets back on the bed, “It’s good that you don’t mind squeezing in with me.”

That’s right too, we’re all men, it’s really nothing to share a bed and sleep. After thinking about it, Lu Yao nodded cheerfully and laid down on the bed.

As his consciousness slowly began to blur, Chu Zhi Han took a good shower and got under the covers. There was a strong smell of milk. Lu Yao remembered that it was the large bottle of Johnson’s Baby Body Wash that he had bought back on the cheap some time ago. After using it once, he realized that the smell was just too juvenile. He never used it again.

I didn’t expect Chu Zhihan to be able to use it generously. But mixed with his own flavor. There was a strange sense of coordination.

Smelling this flavor, the two people’s bodies fit together. Lu Yao was a bit wonderfully peaceful and sentimental. Slowly, he entered dreamland.
