Stars In His Eyes

"Bro, is there a ghost chasing you or something? You’re running and sweating buckets." He Zhilan poked her head out of the kitchen upon hearing the door open, then, carrying a freshly cooked dish, she came out and waved it in front of He Teng’s nose, laughing, "How is it, does it look and smell as good as it tastes?"

He Teng scratched his neck and then rubbed his nose, glanced at the dish on the plate, nodded, grunted in agreement, and then said, "I’m gonna take a shower first!"

"Go ahead."

A simple exchange, but the joy on their faces was unmistakable.

After taking a shower and changing into his casual clothes, He Teng came out to find He Zhilan had already set the bowls and chopsticks on the table, waiting for him. As he walked over, He Zhilan started dishing out rice for him while asking, "Bro, did you wash the pajamas I left here last time I was over? Thanks, bro! Oh right, I just noticed while I was tidying the bedroom that the wardrobe door is missing. What happened? It was fine the last time I was here. I didn’t accidentally knock it and break it, did I?"

He Teng’s hand paused slightly with the bowl when He Zhilan asked her question. His deep eyes glanced at He Zhilan and then swiftly moved away before he replied, "It’s broken. I was in a hurry to get something that day and accidentally broke it with a thrust, so I just went ahead and took it off."

"You’ve got to put it back! There are other seasonal clothes of yours in there! Without a door, all sorts of insects and cockroaches can crawl in," He Zhilan said with clear disapproval. "Especially this season, it’s when cockroaches are most rampant."
