The villain was born with a sweet tooth

Chapter 36.2

Editor: Jodi

The next day when Fu Shen woke him up, he glared at him with a wooden expression.

The cause of his trouble asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”

Tang Zhou shook his head, finished his morning routine in a gloomy mood, and sat at the dining table.

Fu Shen’s breakfast was still delicious, but to Tang Zhou it just tasted bland, and there was no way Fu Shen didn’t notice his unusual behavior, but without Tang Zhou speaking up, he couldn’t guess the reason.

Could it be that he had scared Tang Zhou last night?

Tang Zhou endured and endured, then finally opened his mouth to ask: “What do you think of Plato?”

Fu Shen didn’t even think about it: “Ancient Greek philosopher and a historical figure. Quite impressive, right?”

“…”

Then he reacted, “You mean….. Plato as in a platonic relationship?”

Tang Zhou didn’t respond, which was obviously a tacit confirmation.

Fu Shen froze for a moment, then quickly laughed, “That’s nice. The pursuit of a spiritual and emotional connection is beautiful.”

Tang Zhou: !!!

Sure enough, this was really what he was thinking!

His surprise was evident on his face, causing Fu Shen to sigh in his heart. Tang Zhou wouldn’t think he was in a relationship just to do that kind of thing, right?

So he tried to reassure him: “Don’t worry, let’s let things happen naturally.”

Tang Zhou: “……”

After the meal, and seeing that Tang Zhou was still in low spirits, Fu Shen blamed himself and secretly resolved to let Tang Zhou see his true heart.

Platonic was platonic, it was nothing.

At nine in the morning, Liang Cheng brought everyone to the villa.

The group was dazzled by the villa in front of them.

Pi Xiu cried, “I definitely have to get a promotion and a raise so I can buy a villa like this!”

Li Fengyu clenched his fists: “Together!”

“The swimming pool is over there, and there are fruits and drinks in the gazebo. Everyone, feel free to enjoy yourselves and stay safe.” Fu Shen said with a hint of formality.

“Thank you, President Tang, thank you, Fu Ge!”

Then the group changed into their swimwear excitedly and dropped into the pool like dumplings with ‘putong’ sounds.

Pi Xiu, shirtless, ran over: “Tang Shen! Shen Ge! Aren’t you coming to play?”

Tang Zhou always maintained his image in front of others, and so replied with a light smile: “You go ahead. Fu Shen and I will prepare a big meal to thank you all for your hard work these days.”

Pi Xiu was overjoyed: “I’m looking forward to the feast!”

And saying this, he went to pull Li Fengyu: “Let’s go together!”

Li Fengyu brushed him off: “I said I can’t swim.”

“Just lying around and splashing around near the edge is also fine. Come on, come on.”

Even Liang Cheng encouraged: “Everyone’s over there, let’s go together.”

Fu Shen glanced at Pi Xiu’s bare torso that was shaking in front of his eyes and urged, “Hurry up.”

Once the three left the hall, Tang Zhou asked Fu Shen: “What needs to be done? Let’s do it together.”

He had adjusted his mindset. If it was to be platonic then so be it. What else could he do, force the situation?

Fu Shen, of course, didn’t want Tang Zhou to strain himself. “There’s no need, I’ll do it.”

“I want to try.” Tang Zhou was very considerate. “I can’t let you do everything.”

Maybe the two of them doing household chores together could enhance their relationship.

Fu Shen thought about it for a moment and agreed.

While Tang Zhou might not be of much help, just his presence alone made Fu Shen feel warm inside.

Since his grandfather’s passing, it had been a long time since he had felt the warmth and tranquility of home.

He had thought he would spend his life alone, but then Tang Zhou unexpectedly entered his life.

However this unexpected twist in his otherwise ordinary life didn’t worry Fu Shen at all.

Tang Zhou was the only bug in his life’s program, however he made his programme more complete and rich.

And he cherished him very much.

“Fu Shen.” Tang Zhou’s crisp voice sounded, “I’ll cut the onions.”

Fu Shen was so immersed in the beautiful atmosphere that he didn’t think about his words carefully and only responded casually.

By the time he realized what Tang Zhou had said, it was too late. Tang Zhou had already put down the knife, blinking as he asked with a pitiful expression. “What’s wrong with my eyes?”

The sting of the onions had already brought tears to his eyes.

Fu Shen pulled him away from the kitchen hurriedly, wetting a towel to wipe his eyes gently.

“I’m sorry, I should have cut them.” Fu Shen’s eyes were full of self-reproach, “Onions are irritating and often cause this reaction.”

Tang Zhou, closing his eyes, said in a muffled voice, “You cutting them would have been the same.”

Fu Shen chuckled, “I’m used to it, it doesn’t bother me.”

Once the irritation subsided, Tang Zhou opened his slightly red eyes and said seriously, “Being used to it doesn’t mean it isn’t hard.”

He hadn’t realized before that cooking could be so difficult, and perhaps there was even more hard work, however now that he knew, of course he wanted to help share Fu Shen’s burdens.

Fu Shen knew clearly that Tang Zhou had a soft heart, but he didn’t expect it to be this soft.

He rubbed his hair. “But I also don’t want you to suffer.”

Tang Zhou: “Then let’s order food from now on, you don’t have to cook.”

Fu Shen couldn’t help but smile.

“I’m really fine, don’t worry.” He coaxed Tang Zhou, “What’s more I enjoy cooking.”

Tang Zhou looked skeptical.

So Fu Shen started to play the sentimental card: “After my grandfather passed away, I had no one else to cook for. I really like the feeling of doing it for someone.”

What else could Tang Zhou do? He could only choose to believe it.

Getting up, he hugged Fu Shen gently.

“Then I have to thank your grandfather.”

“Hmm?”

“For raising you to be such an outstanding person.”

Fu Shen responded in kind: “In that case, I should also thank Tang Zhou.”

“Hmm?”

“For raising himself so well.”

He looked down at Tang Zhou, his eyes and brows softened with warmth, softening his usually strong features, making him look even more handsome and compelling.

“Tang Shen, the bathroom is—”

Pi Xiu stood dumbfounded at the door for several seconds before coming back to his senses.

“Ah, you guys continue, continue.”

Then he scurried away like someone fleeing a scene.
