While making the soup, Cui Xukun suddenly thought about Cloe and contemplated whether to make a portion of breakfast for her as well or not? If he hadn't seen her, it'd be different. But now he had seen her already and she was right next door. He knew she didn't have breakfast yet and since he had so much time on hand, he could definitely make something for her.
Now, the question was what to make?
If he went with what his heart was telling him, he'd seem too extravagant. He needed to make something simple but still thoughtful to show his heart.
"Little brother," Cui Xuqing's voice pulled him out of his thoughts. "You're going on a date today?"
"I am," answered Cui Xukun honestly but didn't stop working.
"When are you introducing her to me?" questioned Cui Xuqing.
"Definitely not now," retorted Cui Xukun.
"What do you mean by that? Am I a devil? Do you think I'll eat her or something?" Cui Xuqing was displeased with how her brother answered. She wasn't that bad, okay! She was a good sister! This thankless little brother didn't even know what kind of a blessing it was to have a sister like her who wholeheartedly loved him!
"No, but even I feel like avoiding you when you're on periods," said Cui Xukun bluntly without sugarcoating anything. "You look like a hungry wolf ready to eat. I don't dare introduce her to you during this time." He took a pause and added, "Besides, we haven't been going out for that long yet. It's just casual dating for now and I don't want to scare her away by introducing my family to her. It's too soon for that."
Cui Xuqing sighed out, "Soren praises her highly. So, I'm just curious about her a little."
"She had been friends with brother-in-law for years," said Cui Xukun. "Of course, he has a high opinion of her." He placed the bowl of soup before her and as she was about to pick up the spoon to drink it, he smacked the back of her hand. "What are you? A kid? You didn't even brush your teeth. Neither did you wash your face. How can you even eat like this? Do your big star clients know what kind of a dirty person you are?"
"Just because those stars look dazzling on screen doesn't mean they are any good thing," shot back Cui Xuqing. "You have no idea what kind of dark lives they have. I'm still far better than them." She grumbled unhappily but still went to brush her teeth.
And while she was gone, he picked up the breakfast he packed and ran outside. Ringing the bell, he left the breakfast at the door before rushing back into his sister's apartment hurriedly.
It's not like he didn't want to face Cloe and offer her breakfast in person but he couldn't do that. If his sister got to know that Cloe lived right next door, he didn't even know what would happen.
And he didn't mean that he didn't trust his sister. Or that she was the kind of sister who would nitpick about his life partner. His life partner was purely his own choice. But he was scared of his sister's enthusiastic personality. He was scared she might scare Cloe away. So, it was better to take it slow for now.
Cloe opened the door but found no one outside but she did find the food box. She frowned and picked it up. She looked at that sticky note and read, 'Have something to eat first. I'll see you downstairs at 9.'
As she read it, she pressed her lips together and closed the door. As she walked in, a smile bloomed on her face. She was just thinking about what to do about her breakfast and it was delivered to her door. This feeling was... too sweet!
It was like you're ready to sleep and someone delivered the pillow to you.
She took out the food content and stared at the breakfast he left for her. Sandwiches, a fried egg that looked beautiful, sausages, and bacon. It wasn't something extra special but it was still something thoughtfully made.
She held the sticky note in her hand and muttered, "He really carries these around everywhere. Idiot!" But she didn't even realize that even though she called him an idiot, that idiot had been bringing a smile to her face lately. He was slowly creeping into her life and it was slowly and subtly that even she didn't realize it.
"Was someone at the door?" questioned Cui Xuqing when she came back to drink her soup after brushing her teeth and washing her face, looking presentable.
"No," replied Cui Xukun without any change in his expressions.
"I thought I heard the sound of the door," she shrugged her shoulders carelessly and dug into the bowl of soup.
Cui Xukun stared at his sister and asked, "Jie, do you always look this unpresentable in front of brother-in-law as well?"
"Why? Do I have to change for him?"
"How did he even fall for you?" questioned Cui Xukun. "I really can't understand how can he love you so much."
"Go ask him," retorted Cui Xuqing.
"Jie, don't you feel embarrassed?"
"Why should I?" she shot back. "It's who I am. No, I should say everyone is like that. You can't possibly wake up looking like a bloody princess ready for a ball! And when you are ready to spend a whole lifetime with a person, who would nitpick about how you woke up?"
"Is that so?" Cui Xukun muttered to himself.
"Little brother, we are humans, not gods! We can't possibly be perfect all the time."
"That's true," agreed Cui Xukun. "It seems you do have your moments of intelligence."
Cui Xuqing glared at him while he happily chuckled to himself at her reaction.
"Jie, take care of yourself more," instructed Cui Xukun.
"What's with you suddenly?"
"What? I'm just telling you to take care of yourself. Is it wrong?"
"No, it just came out of nowhere so I was taken aback."
Cui Xukun huffed, "Being concerned about is also tiring."
Cui Xuqing rubbed his head, "Then stop worrying about me.. It's not your job."
