Falling in Love With the Male God

Chapter 10 – Mid-year Ceremony

 

“Meng Chao gē* have breakfast.” Lin Qin put the sandwiches on the table, then poured the heated milk into each other’s cups.

[TN: *Brother]

Pulling the chair away, Meng Chao sat down.
He wasn’t sure if it was because Lin Qin's craftsmanship was really good or because of his mentality, Meng Chao actually thought this sandwich was extremely delicious.

He asked as he ate, “Lin Qin, how did you learn to cook?”

Meng Chao was one of the few people who knew Lin Qin’s family background.
Lin Qin’s father was the chairman of the Lin Group.
Lin Qin’s current agency, Xinyi Entertainment, was a business under the Lin Group.

Lin Qin could be said to be a young master.
It stands to reason that he could not even touch the spring water with his ten fingers, let alone cook by himself.

Lin Qin, who was drinking his milk froze, how did he learn to cook?

Previously, he had seen an interview with Meng Chao.
When the host asked Meng Chao what kind of other-half he liked, Meng Chao answered at the time that it should be someone who suits his tastes, but they should better be able to cook.

Lin Qin wrote down these words.
Naturally, he could not attend any cooking school with his personality, so he could only download cooking tutorials from the Internet, hold it by himself to learn and think about them.

Of course, Lin Qin definitely couldn't tell Meng Chao about this reason outright.
He took a sip of milk to hide his nervousness, put down the cup, then said in a low voice, “I got interested.”

Meng Chao didn't question further, but his eyes fell on Lin Qin's lips.
A circle of milk beard was printed on the red lips, which was actually a little cute.

“Meng Chao Ge, why are you looking at me?” Lin Qin felt Meng Chao's gaze, making his body faintly collapse.
But he subconsciously stuck out his pink tongue to lick gently around his lips.

Meng Chao’s throat rolled.
Pulling a piece of paper, he leaned over to wipe off the milk from a place where Lin Qin's tongue hadn't licked.

This move of Meng Chao made Lin Qin freeze.
The breath of Meng Chao rushed towards his face, strongly enveloping Lin Qin.

Fortunately, this touch of Meng Chao was just like the previous few times; a quick touch.
However, what was left behind for Lin Qin to feel was the heat that got into the bottom of his heart, burning with fire.

“How do you still drink milk like a child?” Meng Chao asked with a smile, his eyes stretched out with a smile, looking handsome, fresh and beautiful.

Lin Qin didn't know how to answer for a while, only letting out a small giggle.

Meng Chao followed with a smile, his eyes very gentle.

……

…

Pulling on the suitcase, Lin Qin came out of the villa.
Hearing the sounds of the waves in his ear, his heart was full of reluctance.

Three days had passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye he was about to part with Meng Chao.

This time they recorded the pilot episode of “We Are Together”.
And they will start the formal recording after half a month.
In other words, he will only see Meng Chao again after half a month after this separation.

After Chu Hong finished handling the follow-up matters, she walked to Lin Qin before saying, “Let's go.”

Lin Qin glanced at the villa reluctantly, searching for Meng Chao’s figure among the crowd.

“Don't look for him.
Emperor Meng left in the morning because of work.
Didn't he tell you?” Taking the suitcase in Lin Qin's hand, Chu Hong put it in the trunk.

“I know.” Lin Qin answered.
He knew, but couldn't help but wanting to see where he and Meng Chao lived together, even if it was only for three days.

Chu Hong sighed with a bit of hatred for this iron block which was not turing into steel*, “You!” Then handed a note to Lin Qin.

[TN: Baidu: *To hate iron but not steel is a Chinese idiom, pinyin is hèn tiě bù chéng gāng, which means to be dissatisfied with the expected person who is not up to date, and eagerly hopes that he will get better.]

“This is Emperor Meng's personal phone number.
He gave it to me when he left in the morning.
If you really can't bear it, make a phone call to him right now.”

Lin Qin took the paper very pleasantly surprised.

He had actually been regretting why he hadn't exchanged contact information with Meng Chao in the past three days.
And now, Chu Hong sent him the pillow to sleep.

“Thank you cousin.”

Opening the car door, Chu Hong added, “Get in the car and talk.”

After getting in the car, Lin Qin turned around and watched the villa drift away in his field of vision.
Only after it was so blurred and left his field of vision, did he take his gaze back.

And then, he didn't relax at all.
Looking at the contact information in his hand, he was very entangled.
There was a very strong desire in his heart to call Meng Chao.
But because of his personality, the call was never made.

Sitting in the co-pilot, Chu Hong could see the tangled expression Lin Qin had through the rearview mirror of the car.
“If you think about him, just call him? When do you feel nervous even when you are not facing each other?”

Being nervous when they met each other was understandable for Chu Hong.
After all, Lin Qin had obstacles, but he didn't even dare to make a call.
It was…

“He is working, wouldn't I disturb him if I call him?” Lin Qin defended himself.

“Okay, you can call him whenever you want.
But don't be upset and sigh in front of me again.” Chu Hong complained.

Lin Qin didn't answer.
Only rubbed his white fingers gently on the paper with the contact information of Meng Chao.

Still didn't have the courage to fight over.

Lin Qin, why are you so cowardly?

Lin Qin condemned himself until his mobile rang.

The incoming call showed a string of unremarked numbers, but Lin Qin rightaway recognized it was Meng Chao's mobile phone number at a glance, because he had just been looking at the written down note.

For a while, Lin Qin stared at the phone in a daze.

Upon seeing Lin Qin ’s reaction, Chu Hong knew it was Meng Chao who was calling him, and urged: “Aren't you still ready to pick up the call? It’s emperor Meng who’s calling.
So it won't bother his work right?”

Lin Qin's face was red, but he still carefully tapped on the answer icon.

As soon as the phone was placed next to his ear, Meng Chao’s deep and magnetic voice came in, “Going back?”

Just listening to Meng Chao's voice, Lin Qin's heartbeat went out of order, pulsing in his chest.
His other hand that did not hold the phone grasped against the seat under him.

It took him a long time before he found his own voice, to softly let out an answer, “um.” “In the car.”

Meng Chao replied: “Have a safe journey.”

Lin Qin opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
However, he couldn't bear to hang up the phone.

After hesitating for a while, Lin Qin added, “Then Meng Chao Ge, you must be careful on the road as well.”

“Okay.” Meng Chao, who was waiting for the flight at the airport, smiled, his eyes filled with gentleness that he hadn't noticed.

Lin Qin was a little anxious.
When he looked up, he saw Chu Hong typed the four characters for the Mid-Year Ceremony with her mobile.
So he almost subconsciously blurted out, “Meng Chao Ge, will you attend the Mid-Year Ceremony this year?”

After the assist, Chu Hong retracted her phone with a smile, giving Lin Qin a cheering gesture.

Lin Qin's face flushed immediately, but he waited nervously for Meng Chao's reply.

The next moment, Meng Chao answered in a slightly guilty voice, “Lin Qin, I'm sorry I don't have time that day.”

“Oh.” An unspeakable disappointment spread across Lin Qin's chest, his hands making a long mark on the surface of the leather chair Lin Qin was sitting on.

But just when Lin Qin was disappointed, Meng Chao added: “But I’ll watch the live broadcast.
You have to perform well.”

Lin Qin's eyes immediately lit up.
Nodding, he answered, “I will!”

Even if he couldn't see Meng Chao that day, he can still let Meng Chao look at him.
Lin Qin was easily satisfied.
