Book 1: Chapter 8: Zhu Nan
Short chapter, but the next one will be more than double this length…I’m sure you’ll be able to guess why once you finish reading this chapter. Also, I loved how this one had so many references to lines from V1C4! I had to actually go back and check what I had previously translated them as haha.
The 8 AM sunlight passed through the French windows, lazily climbing up Ye Xiao’s sleeping face.
“Tch, did I use too much force? Why is he still sleeping?”
Su Mu had already finished washing up and was neatly dressed. He glanced at his watch, then back at the man curled up on the living room sofa hugging a bunch of pillows, his eyes closed in sleep. Su Mu clicked his tongue in impatience. But just as he was wondering if this guy was unconscious, he unexpectedly noticed an abnormally satisfied expression on Ye Xiao’s face.
“Real-really…you’re treating me to eat? Then I won’t hold back…”
The man in deep sleep talked while swallowing his drool and he mumbled, “I want glass noodles…shrimp shaomai…abalone-sauce chicken feet…soy spare ribs…xiaolongbao, and…and…uwahhh!”
Before he could finish ordering, a glass of ice water was dumped upside down onto his face. Ye Xiao quivered, then woke up with a start, immediately shooting up into sitting position on the sofa. Water dripped from his hair as his eyes glanced around in confusion.
“And what?” A voice even colder than the ice water sounded from behind him.
Ye Xiao whipped his head around to see Su Mu with an empty glass in his hand, that dead face void of emotion pointed towards him.
