Married to his secret crush

Chapter 108 - Flash Friend



''Steward Gu.." She called out the man who was passing by.

''Yes, Miss Yu?"

"Follow me," She waved her hand and walked towards the kitchen.

The man followed after her.

"Here, this one is for you," She passed him another plate of fruit salad.

"Miss Yu, how can I have this?"

"You don't have to be so rigid all the time," She shoved the plate in his hand, "Taste it."

Steward Gu was delighted and touched at the same time. First, everyone knew how good were Yu Mei Zhen's cooking skills. Second, he did not expect her to keep a share for him when she said she was making something for his Master.

He struggled to gulp the spoonful of pomegranates in his mouth.

"Miss Yu, did you use sour cream in it?" He asked, his face slightly scrunched despite him trying to keep his expressions neutral.

"Cream is cream…which one is sour?" She frowned noticing the weird expression on his face "Does it not tastes well?" she asked after hesitating a bit.

She glanced at another small bowl that she had kept for herself. She tasted a spoonful of it and her expression changed almost instantly. She spat it back in the bowl.

Who spread rumors that Miss Yu had exceptional culinary skills? Steward Gu furrowed his brows, "You have to whip the cream and add sugar to it."

''Damn," She muttered after drinking a glass of water, "How did Zixuan finish the whole plate? This is disgusting!"

Steward Gu: "_" Master is superhuman!

Even though she said that, she was touched. 

He bickered with her all the day long like she was his mortal enemy but he ate the shit like food she made and even complimented her cooking skills.

Her lips stretched in a soft smile. What a cute man!

Later that night, she made sure to switch on the bedside lights before sleeping beside Mia who still had her 'cultivation' mode activated. Although Yu Mei was kind of worried about the fox but she could only suck it up and patiently wait for her to wake up.

While she slept peacefully without nightmares, there was another person who was lost in his daydreams.

Jun Zixuan found it hard to sleep. 

The Master Bedroom was enshrouded in darkness while the man sat in the middle of the king-sized bed leaning back on the headboard, looking at the moon through the glass windows.

She is so similar to her.

Those eyes were the reason which compelled him to stay in the mansion longer than he should. 

The more he knew her…the more…

Jun Zixuan closed his eyes.

*Flashback*

"Woah…finally, it's over," Han Mei slumped back on the couch as she sighed, "Zixuan, you are an angel. Did someone ever tell you that?"

"Someone did,'' He nodded.

"Who?" She smiled at him before sitting on the couch properly and folding her legs.

"You," His reply made her laugh.

She pinched his cheeks, "Such a cutiepie."

He froze for a split second at her sudden touch but she failed to notice it. 

She glanced at the Chinese exercises notebooks on the coffee table, "If you were not here to help me with this, I would have been sure about failing in the subject."

He chuckled, "You won't. I'll help you till you ace the exam."

"Ace in this subject? Who are you kidding? I'm fine with passing scores," Han Mei shook her head before glancing at Jun Zixuan, "You know what?"

"What?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Well I am really surprised," she stated.

"And why is that?" 

"This is the third time we are meeting and I'm already sitting at your apartment, being tutored by you," Han Mei shrugged, "I am generally very picky and stingy about making friends. It took me years to befriend Luoluo.''

Little did she know he had his eyes on her since the first time he saw her. And if he calculated, then this should be the fifth time they met. It was just that the first two times, it was only him who saw her.

"So, you mean to say that we are friends?" Jun Zixuan stood up from the couch and walked towards the kitchen.

"Are we not?" She followed after him.

He tilted his head to the side to glance at her.

She blinked her starry eyes, looking at him with an expectant gaze.

"We are," He chuckled before asking her, "Tea, coffee, juice or anything else?"

"Coffee," She answered.

"And what would you like to eat?"

''I'm not hungry…Wait…Do you know how to cook?" She raised an eyebrow.

He nodded.

"Your fangirls will be queuing here to marry you if they get to know that their Prince Charming can cook too," she laughed.

He pursed his lips before getting the coffee mug.

"You were hiding from them that day, weren't you?" She teased him thinking of the first time they met on that tree. While she was bunking her language class, he was wearing a hoodie and sitting on the tree branch.

''Uh-huh," He nodded looking at her smiling face.

She laughed, "I knew it.''

After that incident, the second time they met was when she bumped into him in the library. They spent nearly more than one hour talking about each other and later, he even dragged her to introduce her to his friends when she said that she had only one friend.

She got to know his friend Xiao Min, that famous cute nerd who had transferred to their university along with him and Mu Shen, whom she already knew because of Shi Luo.

This was just the third time they were meeting and that was at his place because when she told him she needed to improve in Chinese, he dragged her here to help.

"You're my flash friend," She patted his shoulder.

"Flash…Friend?"

"Flash Marriage is when two people click instantly and get married within a month," She paused for a moment and continued, "We are friends within a week so we should be flash friends.''

''I don't mind adopting the concept of flash marriage though," The man mumbled.

"Try?" She tilted her head to look at him.
