FCY Chapter 163

Luo Yan is jealous.

Luo Yan is jealous.

The process of waiting for judgment is always so long; a minute can feel like ten.

This was also true for Cen Xi. In the dozens of seconds after he spoke, no one said anything, or drank their soup. The anticipated tension evolved into anxiety and fear. At that moment, he felt like he was receiving God’s judgment, waiting for God to categorize him as righteous or a sinner.

“Pfft~” Someone across from Cen Xi started laughing, breaking the originally tense atmosphere. The Wu brothers, who had been stiff-faced, relaxed simultaneously.

“Xi-ge, that was too formal. I couldn’t even react, hahaha.” Wu Xinming scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and picked up his soup. “I accept your apology. In the future, you can’t hide things from me!”

With that, he finished the soup in one gulp.

“Don’t let it happen again.” Wu Xinshen’s tone was full of warning, and he drank his soup along with Wu Xinming.

“Do I need to say something too?” Zhu Zi said, holding his soup. “Cen Xi, remember to organize and give me the foreign team information tomorrow.”

“Of course.”

“Alright, then I’ll use soup as a substitute for wine to wish SY great success in the World Championship! Add oil!” (Add oil means good luck)

Zhu Zi also drank his bowl of soup.

At that moment, the pent-up feelings of the past three years truly dissipated. All the resentment was released in an instant. They no longer clung to one thing and brooded over it, letting go of themselves and others.

This meal brought the emotions of everyone in SY back to three years ago. They joked with each other at the table, talking about the game. The wall between Cen Xi and the current SY finally disappeared.

After dinner, Cen Xi was left alone in the restaurant to clean up. Luo Yan was called away by Zhu Zi, and the others returned to the training room to either stream or continue practicing.

On the table, everyone else’s soup bowls were empty, except for the full bowl in front of Luo Yan, which sat quietly, seemingly untouched by its owner.

Cen Xi was certain that the soup’s flavor matched Luo Yan’s preferences, so he directly eliminated the possibility of Luo Yan disliking it.

He looked at the bowl of soup and fell into thought, beginning to recall everything at the table, everything related to Luo Yan today.

Yan Bao excitedly discussed with him what dishes to make…

Yan Bao went out with Zhu Zi, and his mood was alright when he came back, and he even helped him out of a difficult situation…

When they started eating, Yan Bao seemed to be in a good mood too…

After Wu Xinming and the others finished their soup…

Cen Xi found the turning point. After Wu Xinming and the others finished their soup, Luo Yan’s enthusiasm seemed to disappear. The problem was here…

Why? What happened?

Cen Xi began to speed up his cleaning.

Yan Bao should still be talking to Zhu Zi about things. He couldn’t disturb them. He would go to the conference room to find him after they finished.

“Got it, Zhu Zi-ge. I’ll go give Qing Lu some guidance.”

Luo Yan came out of the conference room and happened to see Cen Xi running up from below. There were still droplets of water on his hands, flowing down the lines on his skin and dripping onto the ground. It looked like he had just finished washing the dishes.

Honestly, Luo Yan didn’t really want to see Cen Xi right now. He wanted to deal with his own awkward emotions first.

“Gege, are you here to find Zhu Zi-ge?” Luo Yan hoped that Cen Xi’s target wasn’t him.

Cen Xi approached Luo Yan, only a few centimeters away from him. “I came to find you.”

“Yan Bao, you’ve been acting strange tonight. Can you tell me what happened?”

Luo Yan didn’t speak for a long time. He also felt that he was being strange. He was the one who gave Cen Xi the idea to cook for the others, but when he sat at the table, watching everyone eat so happily, he felt a little sad. Then, he remembered Cen Xi’s method of coaxing Cen Yi, “I’ll send something, and it’ll be fine.”

It seemed like Cen Xi only coaxed him verbally, without giving him anything.

Even though he knew that Cen Xi would cook for him, constantly care for him, take care of him, and occasionally give him small surprises, when he compared it to Cen Xi’s apology, he still felt very awkward.

He was jealous. He also wanted Cen Xi to give him something.
