The Rabbit Wants to Eat the Grass Next Door - 9

Chapter 9

"What did you say?" The door that had been pushed a few centimeters in was brought back by He Yuan, who leaned over slightly and said in a dangerous tone, "I like men?"

Jian Yan blinked innocently, reached out and patted his shoulder casually, "Don't worry, I'm very open-minded and I don't discriminate against same-s*x relationship."

"Hah." He Yuan's face darkened, "Should I thank you?"

Jian Yan immediately said, "You're welcome."

He Yuan's mouth twitched, too lazy to explain to her, but when he was about to push the door open, he remembered something. He suddenly looked at her sideways, "How did you associate this disgusting conclusion with your appearance?" 

Jian Yan snorted, "You just said it in the afternoon and you forgot about it. Who was it that said he was tired of me during the live broadcast?"

He Yuan said, "You watch my live broadcasts?"

Jian Yan choked on his words, "What's wrong? Am I not allowed to watch it?"

"You can watch, but you have to use your brain." He Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "So that's the reason why you targeted me today?"

Jian Yan glanced at him and said, "When did I target you?"

"Not giving me cherries."

"..."

"Hey, when I said I was tired of looking at it, I meant that poster." He Yuan looked at her, his lazy eyes seemed to be shining with stars, and he said slowly in a low voice, "Not you."

Jian Yan was stunned, and felt hot behind her ears for no reason.

He Yuan sighed, with a "brain is a good thing, I hope you have it" expression on his face, "Also, from now on, just watch the live broadcast, don't open those barrages, they like talking about ridiculous things."

"You don't like men?!" Jian Yan said suspiciously.

"Do I look bent?"

Jian Yan shook her head and said, "No."

He Yuan was a little relieved, "That's right."

"But you look like a Gong*."

*Gong = attacker/top. Usually the dominant party in an M/M relationship. Shou = receiver/bottom

He Yuan, "???"

Her idol said that he didn't like men, although Jian Yan didn't completely believe it, her mood these days was unexpectedly much better. At least he didn't directly say that he likes her brother, that psychopath, her three views were barely preserved, and she was content.

New Year's Eve is coming soon, and the members, substitutes and staff in the DSG base are all on vacation. Lin Mao and the others are packing their bags and preparing to leave, while Jian Boyi wraps up a down jacket slowly in their hateful eyes. He moved from the base to the opposite side, and then waved to them in an awkward manner, "I'm home. Please pay attention to safety on your way to the Spring Festival."

"…………"

On the eve of New Year's Eve, Jian Heshu and Guan Min got on the plane and flew to Changsha to attend the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala. Only Jian Yan and Jian Boyi were left in the originally bustling home, but they had already gotten used to this. Over the years, it has been rare for their parents to celebrate the Chinese New Year at home.

On the 28th, Jian Yan was awakened by her hungry stomach. She went from her room to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator only to find it empty.

"Are we their biological children? They didn't even leave anything behind." Jian Yan sighed and picked up her phone to make a call.

But probably because the New Year is approaching, not a single one of the takeaway restaurants she usually eat in is open!

With a dark look on her face, Jian Yan walked upstairs and knocked on Jian Boyi's door.

"Jian Boyi." Jian Yan dragged her slippers and leaned in front of his door, "Jian Boyi, are you awake?"

"Jian Boyi, I'm starving to death? Are you hungry?"

"Jian Boyi!"

Probably because he wasn't happy to be awakened, a roar came from inside the room, "What are you doing?! If you're hungry, go and eat. Do I have to feed you?!"

"If there is something to eat, why should I ask you to do it!" Jian Yan kicked the door hard, "The refrigerator is empty. Get up quickly and go out to buy something to eat!"

"I'm sleepy, go by yourself."

Jane pressed her temples, "Get up quickly and let's go together. Hey, don't you need to eat?"

There was no movement in the room for a long time, and Jian Yan simply snorted, "Okay, okay. I'll just call mom."

A few seconds later...

"Take the key." The door of the room opened, and Jian Boyi stood behind the door with the head of bird's nest.

Jian Yan smiled slyly, knowing that he was afraid of being scolded by his parents.

But……

“Why are you giving me a key?”

Jian Boyi rolled his eyes and said angrily, “The key to the base, you go to the refrigerator across the street to get something to eat. There should be a lot of frozen food in the freezer."”

Jian Yan was stunned and said, "The key to the base..."

"Sister, I didn't go to bed until 4 o'clock this morning, please let me go and let me sleep for a while, be good!" Jian Boyi threw the key to her and slammed the door.

Jian Yan, "..."

It was freezing outside, dragging her cotton slippers and thick pajamas, she rushed to the house across the street as quickly as possible.

She opened the door, simply turned on the light, and walked towards the kitchen.

The base was empty, and it looked a little bit scary. However, after seeing the food in the refrigerator, Jian Yan immediately forgot about being cautious.

There are not only frozen food such as dumplings in this freezer, but also steaks!

Jian Yan squatted down and picked excitedly. After making a decision, she finally picked up two packages of fresh meat dumplings and two sealed steaks.

"What are you doing?"

"Ahhhh!" The sudden sound in the empty base made Jian Yan subconsciously throw the food in her arms back violently.

"Pah...pah!"

One sound was the sound of the frozen food hitting a person, and the other sound was the sound of the frozen food hitting a person and then falling to the ground. Jian Yan opened her mouth and stared blankly at the man standing behind her, turning pale with panic.

"What's that look? What the h*ll?" The man behind him had an indifferent expression, probably because he had just gotten up. He was wearing pajamas, and the cords of his pajamas were tied casually.

Jian Yan took two deep breaths and calmed down after a while. "What's the difference between you and a ghost? You scared me to death."

"Am I no different from a ghost?" He Yuan sneered, "Your eyesight is not very good."

"..."

"You... why didn't you go home?" Jian Yan, after calming down, discovered this serious problem. During the Chinese New Year, he was still at the base.

"I was planning to go home." He Yuan moved her to the side, bent down and took out a pack of dumplings, "But something came up."

"Oh." Jian Yan said after a pause, "Then, what is it that you have to do..."

"So many questions." He Yuan stood up and looked down at her, "Shouldn't you be saying something now to explain what you were sneaking in here for?"

"I'm not sneaking in." Jian Yan puffed up her chest, "Jian Boyi game me the key. He said there was food here, so I came over to get it."

He Yuan seemed to curl his lips and smile. He threw the dumplings on the counter and said sarcastically, "What kind of special hobby is this? The food in the refrigerator across the street is more delicious?"

"That's not true. Mom and Dad are away, Auntie has gone home for Chinese New Year, and takeout is even impossible to order, and most importantly, there's nothing to eat in the fridge."

He Yuan paused while opening the dumpling bag, and turned his head to look at her. She looked at him with big eyes, looking a little pitiful.

"What are you looking at?" Jian Yan's heart beat inexplicably when he glanced at her so suddenly.

However, He Yuan did not answer, but suddenly stretched out his hand and gestured above her head, then moved it straight down to his chin, and finally said slowly, "I remember Maomao said that your height on Baidu Encyclopedia is 168cm (5'5"), but your height is...Are you sure you're 168cm?"

Jian Yan was stunned and quickly took a step back, "Why... why not?!"

Normally, she would wear high heels when she visited the base. Today, she's wearing a pair of slippers. Of course, she looked a little shorter than usual.

Wait...slippers.

Jian Yan's whole body froze, as if she suddenly remembered something important, and she slowly glanced sideways at herself reflected in the glass mirror next to her.

Thick pajamas, messy hair, haggard face from staying up late and without any makeup...

How could she forget? She went out without getting ready.

And He Yuan saw her like this?

Jian Yan: D*mn! The image that I had maintained for so many days fell apart at this moment!

"Sure enough, Baidu Encyclopedia is not always correct." Just when Jian Yan was struggling with whether she should go home immediately or snatch the steaks then go home, He Yuan uttered an understatement.

"Who said that? I'm 168!" In order to defend her dignity, Jian Yan risked everything.

"People who are 158 will always say that they are 160, while people who are 160 will forcefully add a few centimeters to themselves." He Yuan glanced at her lightly, "You celebrities always go too far."

Jian Yan chocked, "What are you talking about?!"

He Yuan stopped what he was doing, turned sideways, and looked at her from top to bottom, "You should be... 162 (5'3")?"

"How can that be?!"

"What about 163?"

"I……"

"163 is the most, no more can be added."

"You have bad eyesight! I'm 165 (5'4"), okay!"

"Oh, really?" He Yuan curled his lips, "Let me tell you, Baidu Encyclopedia is lying."

Jian Yan, "..."

"Okay, grab your things and go home," He Yuan poured boiling water into the pot, and after closing the lid, he said, "Oh, by the way, lock the door for me."

Jian Yan angrily took her food and planned to go home.

"Wait."

She was stopped before she left the kitchen. He Yuan simply turned around and said, "What are you doing?"

"Leave the steaks." He Yuan leaned on the edge of the glass table and pointed his fingers in the air, "There are only two left."

"You... you can't eat two by yourself."

"Then there's no need for you to take both of them."

"..."

The mouth that eats the food of others is softened; the hand that takes the possessions of others is shortened*. No matter how reluctant Jian Yan was to part with the steak, she still put down a piece of steak and said, "I'll take a piece away. I'll go to the supermarket to buy a replacement in the evening and bring it back to you."

*(拿人手短,吃人嘴软) a Chinese idiom which means after you gained benefit from someone, you will have to return the favor to that person

"Okay, but you have to calculate the interest." He Yuan said seriously.

"Interest?"

"Take one piece and give two pieces back."

"..."

Seeing that she didn't move, He Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "What, you don't agree? If you don't agree, you can't take one with you."

D*mn!

"Interest is interest!"
