    Chapter 4 Feeding Cake

    Lu Jin was carrying two heavy boxes of cakes and his steps were more hurried than when he came.

    In the transparent packaging box, the pink of strawberry cream and the yellow of mango pulp create a sweet and soft color. As he moves gently, the sweet fragrance comes out through the gaps, making people feel warm in their hearts.

    As soon as the door control downstairs of Dormitory A was opened, the cold wind rushed over with the chill of the evening. He subconsciously held the cake tightly in his arms for fear that the cream would be frozen.

    The elevator was lit with warm white lights, and the numbers jumped from 1 to 5.

    “Bang bang bang.” Knuckles knocked on the door panel of 509, the force was neither light nor heavy, and it was particularly clear in the quiet corridor.

    The door opened faster than expected, and almost as soon as the knock on the door fell, a thin figure appeared behind the door.

    Xie Shuhan wore an apricot-colored loose housecoat, with the collar hanging loosely, revealing a small piece of delicate collarbone. The light fell on it, giving off a faint warm light.

    His hair was not as neat as it was during the day, and a few strands of broken hair hung in front of his forehead, covering a little of his eyebrows.

    Only the fox eyes were still bright, with the ends of the eyes slightly raised, and the moles under the eyes swayed in the warm light, making them even more attractive than the sunset in the evening.

    “Come in, no need to change shoes.” Xie Shuhan’s voice was softer than during the day, like cotton soaked in warm water.

    He turned sideways to give up his position and walked in first. When the hem of his clothes swept past Lu Jin’s wrist, it brought out a faint scent of cedar.

    Lu Jin nodded and closed the door gently with his backhand. As soon as his eyes swept across the room, he couldn’t help but be surprised.

    This is not a dormitory, it is clearly a small apartment.

    The whole room was a single room, with a large desk by the window, a small light gray sofa next to it, and even a mini bar with a few bottles of green plants on it. The sunlight filtered in through the blinds, casting tiny shadows on the floor. It was more than a little more refined than the two-person room where he and Yu Yifan were crowded.

    “Do you live alone?” Lu Jin moved closer to the sofa and lightly touched the armrest of the sofa with his fingers. The fabric was so soft that he couldn’t help but envy him.

    Xie Shuhan sat down on the sofa, leaning his back gently on the soft cushions, and relaxed a lot: “Well, I’m not used to living with others.”

    When he spoke, his tone was very calm, but it didn’t make people feel alienated. Instead, it seemed like he was talking about a very normal thing.

    Lu Jin secretly gave him a new label in his mind, “Jungui young master”, and specially drew a small crown on the back.

    He sat down next to Xie Shuhan. Their knees were not far apart, and he could feel the slight warmth coming from the other person’s body.

    “The cake I just bought is still fresh. The cream hasn’t melted yet. Do you want to try it?” Lu Jin put the cake box on the small coffee table in the middle. When he opened the lid with his fingertips, the sweet smell spread instantly.

    He deliberately pushed the two boxes side by side and raised his chin to signal, “You choose first. The strawberry and mango ones are both the signatures of this store.”

    Xie Shuhan’s eyes fell on the cake, but he didn’t speak immediately.

    His pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes were fixed on the golden flesh of the mango cake. His eyes gradually drifted away, as if he was caught in some memory, and even the arc at the end of his eyes softened a bit.

    Lu Jin waited for a few seconds but didn’t hear a response. When he looked sideways, he found Xie Shuhan staring at the cake in a daze, his eyelashes drooping, casting a shallow shadow under his eyes, which made him feel a bit lonely.

    “Xie Shuhan?” He called out softly, fearing to disturb the other party.

    Xie Shuhan suddenly came back to his senses, the confusion in his eyes instantly faded away, and he returned to his usual coldness, but his ears quietly turned a little red: “Huh?”

    “Why are you dazed? Choose one.” Lu Jin pointed at the two cakes and joked with a smile, “If you don’t eat them, I will eat them all.”

    “Maybe it’s mango.” Xie Shuhan’s voice was lower than before, with a trace of imperceptible nostalgia hidden in the end.

    After all, someone loves mango cake the most.

    Lu Jin’s heart cracked a small crack, his favorite little cake, oooooooooooo, and then he mended it silently.

    Lu Jin took out the mango cake from the box, prepared the fork, and placed it in front of Xie Shuhan.

    Xie Shuhan reached out to take it. He used his left hand, holding the fork handle with his fingertips, and carefully forked the cake.

    But my left hand was really not used to it, so I tried to fork it several times without picking it up, and the butter was still stuck on the fork tines, which made me look a little clumsy.

    Lu Jin looked anxious and finally couldn’t help but said: “Let me feed you.”

    As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he was stunned. In all his life, except when he was fed by his parents when he was a child, he had never fed anyone else.

    Xie Shuhan raised his eyes and looked at Lu Jin. The warm light fell on Lu Jin’s face, making his outline much softer. His silver hair looked like broken light under the light, and his eyes were full of sincerity.

    His Adam’s apple rolled slightly, and the ice in his eyes seemed to have melted by this gaze, and it was as bright as starlight: “Then I’ll trouble you.”

    Lu Jin calmed down, picked up his fork, picked out a small piece of cake covered in cream and pulp, and handed it to Xie Shuhan’s mouth.

    He deliberately avoided the edges and chose the softest part in the middle, for fear that the cake would fall.

    Xie Shuhan lowered his head slightly, touched the tines of the fork lightly with his lips, and took the cake into his mouth.

    The sweetness of mango mixed with the aroma of cream melts in your mouth. The sweetness is just right and not greasy at all. It tastes almost the same as in memory.

    He subconsciously stretched out his pink tongue and gently licked the cream on the corner of his mouth. His movements were natural and childish, like a little beast that had just eaten candy.

    Lu Jin looked at this scene and suddenly felt his throat tightening, his whole body getting hot, and even his ears felt hot.

    He quickly looked away and pretended to look at the sunset outside the window, but his heart was in a mess.

    What happened to Xie Shuhan?It’s just a piece of cake, why are you so seductive?

    I must be too hungry to think about these things.

    “Lu Jin.” Xie Shuhan’s voice suddenly sounded, a little confused.

    Lu Jin suddenly came to his senses and realized that he had been holding the fork for a long time, and the cake was about to fall.

    He quickly handed over the remaining cake, not daring to look at Xie Shuhan’s mouth anymore, only staring at the top of Xie Shuhan’s hair: “Oh, oh, keep eating.”

    For the next time, Lu Jin recited the “Pure Heart Mantra” silently in his heart while feeding.

    But sitting at this angle, he could just see Xie Shuhan’s lips, which were pink and tender, even softer when covered with cream, and the tip of his tongue occasionally brushed across the lips, each stroke was like scratching the apex of his heart.

    He could even smell the faint scent of cedar on Xie Shuhan’s body, mixed with the sweet scent of cake, which made people feel panicked.

    Finally, a piece of mango cake bottomed out.

    Xie Shuhan took out a paper towel from the coffee table and gently wiped the corners of his mouth, his movements as graceful as if he were dining in a Western restaurant.

    He raised his eyes to look at Lu Jin, with a slight smile in his eyes, which looked particularly soft in the warm light: “It’s delicious, thank you, Lu Jin.”

    Xie Shuhan called him by his first and last name, his voice soft and soft, like a feather gently sweeping over his heart.

    Lu Jin felt that his ears were getting hotter, and he quickly waved his hand, his voice a little hoarse: “It’s okay, it’s just a little effort, who knew it was me who knocked you down this morning.”

    He was afraid that he would be embarrassed if he stayed any longer, so he quickly stood up: “Well, can I use the bathroom?”

    Xie Shuhan pointed to the door in the corner of the room: “Over there.”

    Lu Jin nodded, turned and entered the bathroom.

    As soon as he closed the door, he turned on the faucet, and the cold water splashed on his face, which slightly suppressed the heat.

    He looked at himself in the mirror, his ears were as red as if they were bleeding, and his silver hair was wet with water and stuck to his forehead, like a fool who had run away.

    Something is wrong, so wrong.

    Why would he feel tempted by Xie Shuhan?Are you crazy, Lu Jin?

    Lu Jin patted his face and tried to wake himself up. He must be too tired today to have random thoughts.
