RAD Chapter 79

Early in the morning, two guests arrived at Luo Xiao and Ye Lan’s place–Old Man Ouyang and Old Man Yu. They didn’t say much to Luo Xiao and the others, just nodded their heads and then went straight to find Mr. Huo. The three of them went into the study with solemn expressions and started discussing something in detail. Luo Xiao and Ye Lan looked at the closed study door and glanced at each other. As the two juniors, they couldn’t be of much help at the moment. So they decided to do what they could, like making breakfast.

The two of them went to the kitchen together. While Ye Lan’s cooking skills weren’t the best, he could still help with some simple tasks.

For breakfast, Luo Xiao planned to make scallion pancakes, steamed buns, and wontons. He skillfully took out the flour and started kneading the dough, naturally leaving the meat filling to the stronger Ye Lan. As Ye Lan chopped the fresh pork on the cutting board, he looked at the busy Luo Xiao and felt warm in his heart. He couldn’t help blurting out, “Xiao Xiao, don’t we feel like an old married couple?”

Luo Xiao rolled his eyes at him, “Then please grow old by yourself, I’m still young!”

“You!” Ye Lan let out a chuckle and put the minced meat aside. Then he washed his hands and hugged Luo Xiao’s waist from behind, saying ambiguously, “Without you, I wouldn’t want to grow old.”

“Cut it out, it’s so cloying.” Luo Xiao’s ears gradually turned red. He tried to sound indifferent as he elbowed Ye Lan aside and said with a disdainful tone, “Can’t you see I’m busy here?”

“Hehe~” Ye Lan couldn’t helo but laugh at his pretense of composure, then he intentionally blew a breath into Luo Xiao’s ear and spoke in a low voice, “I’m only mushy and affectionate towards you.”

Luo Xiao’s face flushed red without any warning. He gritted his teeth, thinking: “So you do feel that way!” With his stiff body, he could clearly feel a hot hard object pressing against his lower back, brazenly announcing its presence.

“Get away from me!” Luo Xiao turned his head and glared at Ye Lan. The shyness and embarrassment in his eyes were obvious.

Ye Lan argued that as a healthy man with strong blood, having such a reaction when facing his beloved was completely normal! Especially in the morning when certain physiological phenomena occur, right?

He had a fawning smile on his face, but showed no intention of leaving Luo Xiao’s back. What’s more, he had even reached into Luo Xiao’s clothes, much to Luo Xiao’s indignation. After all, it wasn’t just the two of them in the house. His master and the others were there too!

And the kitchen was open-plan, without a so-called door to close. Moreover, because of their location, Mr. Huo and the others would be able to see everything once they came downstairs and turn a corner.

Naturally, Ye Lan knew what his Xiao Xiao was worrying about. Of course, he wouldn’t tell the other party that he deliberately chosen this moment to “enjoy the tofu”. After all, Luo Xiao wouldn’t make any loud noises that could disturb their master’s discussion at this time, given the poor soundproofing in the house.

Seeing Luo Xiao’s restrained expression and his pair of moist hesitant eyes, Ye Lan thought: I really want to just eat him up…

Well, although he couldn’t indulge fully for now, he wouldn’t let even the meat residue go to waste! Ye Lan did what he thought. He lowered his head and started gently kissing Luo Xiao’s slender neck. One hand was caressing his smooth skin under the clothes, and the other was slipping into Luo Xiao’s mouth to tease his little tongue.

Luo Xiao couldn’t swallow the saliva fast enough, and they slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth. Small cat-like moans involuntarily escaped his lips, which made Ye Lan’s heart itch. Just as Ye Lan wanted to take it further, a crisp sound of the door opening rang in their ears like thunder, startling Luo Xiao to jump up.

Blushing furiously, Luo Xiao straightened his clothes and glared at Ye Lan angrily: It’s all this guy’s fault, he actually, actually…”

Seeing the blush still lingering on Luo Xiao’s face, Ye Lan’s eyes darkened. He felt great regret in his heart! How could Grandpa Huo and the others have finished discussing and come out so quickly? He hadn’t even had a chance to properly savor the taste of the neat residue! No, no, he shouldn’t be thinking like this! He should be silently resenting the fact that Grandpa Huo and the others appeared at their house. If they hadn’t been there, perhaps…

Seeing the silly smile on Ye Lan’s face, Luo Xiao rolled his eyes in exasperation: No need to say, this guy must be thinking about something unhealthy again, why is he smiling so smugly?

Luo Xiao no longer looked at him and instead quickened his movements. He placed the buns on the steamer and poured oil into the pan to start making scallion pancakes. The sizzling sound woke Ye Lan from his fantasies. He looked at the faint mark on Luo Xiao’s neck, nodding in satisfaction before going out to set the dining table with chopsticks and bowms.

After letting Ye Lan take the buns and scallion pancakes out, Luo Xiao boiled water and put wontons in.

Soon, the hot and steaming wonton soup was also ready.

Luo Xiao served a bowl of the wonton soup to each person and then sat down to start eating breakfast with everyone. Old Man Yu took a bite of a meat bun and gave Luo Xiao a thumbs up: “Xiao Xiao, your bun-making skills are really good!”

“En, the scallion pancakes are also very authentic!” said Old Man Ouyang, gesturing to the half-eaten pancake on his plate. “It’s chewy and not too greasy.”

Mr. Huo tilted his head back, “Of course, you guys don’t even look at whose disciple this is!”

Old Man Yu looked at Huo’s smug expression and ruthlessly retorted, “Cut the crap, Old Huo. With your inability to even tell sugar from salt, how could you have taught Xiao Xiao such skills? Don’t be shameless!”

“You!” Mr. Huo glared angrily at him, “Old Yu, don’t forget where you’re eating now!”

Old Man Yu raised an eyebrow, “I’m eating at Xiao Xiao’s place, what is it to you?”

“Alright, alright.” Old Man Ouyang quickly intervened as he saw the two were about to start bickering again. He directly spoke to comfort them, “You two should just hurry up and finish your breakfast, or it’ll get cold and that would be a waste of Xiao Xiao’s effort!”

“Hmph!” Mr. Huo and Old Man Yu snorted in unison and then continued eating.

As for what just happened, Luo Xiao felt that he was already used to Ye Lan and his own master having these kinds of exchanges every morning when Grandpa Yu wasn’t around. As long as he ignored them, he could just focus on eating his own breakfast.

After breakfast, Mr. Huo saw Old Man Ouyang and the others off. Watching their hurried departure, Luo Xiao stood beside his master and voiced his concern: “Master, about this matter…”

Mr. Huo turned around and patted Luo Xiao’s head, then reassured him, “It’s fine. I’ve already discussed it with your Grandpa Ouyang and the others. They will take the lead in coordinating the strategy against the enemy with the other sects. We just need to fulfill our own duties after they’ve finalized the plans. And since they now know the location you provided, they will surely send people to carefully scout it out, so the plan will definitely be even more perfect.”

“Hmm, I hope there won’t be any major casualties.” Luo Xiao glanced again in the direction they had left and then helped Mr. Huo to the sofa and sat down beside him.

Just as he was bending over to pour tea for Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo accidentally saw something that made him boil with rage. He shouted inwardly: That damn Old Yu, why did he wink and smile so meaningfully before leaving? So that’s what it’s all about!

The angrier Mr. Huo got, the louder he shouted, “You little bastard Ye Lan, get out here!”

“Grandpa Huo, what’s wrong?” Ye Lan heard the commotion and came out of the kitchen, looking puzzled. “Did you call for me?”

“You! You!” Mr. Huo pointed at him angrily and then looked at his equally confused disciple. He was so conflicted! How could his obedient disciple get entangled with this little bastard? Wasn’t this just a lamb entering the wolf’s den?

Seeing Mr. Huo’s pointing, Ye Lan immediately understood after following his line of sight. His face broke into a brilliant smile. “Oh, so that’s what you’re referring to. I feel I still need to try harder!”

Hearing the full regret in Ye Lan’s tone, Mr. Huo was so angry his lungs were about to explode. Damn bastard, what regret! With such obvious marks, what do you say, do you still want to cover his whole body with them?

If Ye Lan could hear Mr. Huo’s internal grumbling, he would definitely nod vigorously in agreement. Wasn’t that exactly what he wanted to do? It’s just that he didn’t have enough time earlier!

Seeing the reactions of the two, Luo Xiao a bad feeling. He quickly went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. He took a sharp breath: This, his skin was originally the type that was naturally fair and could not be tanned, and it was easier to leave bruises on his body than ordinary people. Now he covered with obvious…kiss marks on his neck. The collar of his clothes had previously hidden them, but now that it was a bit hot after the meal, he had pulled the collar down, revealing them.

No wonder Grandpa Ouyang and Grandpa Yu had that hint of mocking in their eyes when they left just now. So that was the truth?

“Yezi, from today on, you’re sleeping in the study!” Luo Xiao glared at him and said angrily. This guy really couldn’t be indulged, he was always so smug!

“Huh? No way!” Ye Lan heard this and immediately panicked. Why? He had finally been able to sleep in the same bed after three years of hard work, and the blankets weren’t even warmed up yet. How could he be kicked out now? No, he had to appeal this!

The appeal was rejected! Luo Xiao firmly shook his head. Hmph, let you get too carried away!
