Every Meal - Chapter 3: He's Looking at Me

Translator: Deyonna

Kong Qiao was a little uncomfortable for the entirety of the day in the company.

At first, he bumped into the supervisor of the next-door department when he went to the toilet. The person looked at his yellow briefs and the little brother he shook down several times, making Kong Qiao feel uncomfortable that he nearly scolded the person.

Later, when he was about to go downstairs to eat at noon, a girl from the same office leaned over to him and vaguely told him that his pants were a bit see-through, which embarrassed Kong Qiao so much that he didn't eat lunch. His butt stuck to his seat the entire afternoon.

It was finally dark before he packed his things to get off work and return home.

When passing by the small vegetable shop, Kong Qiao found that it hadn't closed yet.

The spring dream of last night involuntarily appeared in his mind, having improper thoughts in his heart, he didn't dare to go in to buy vegetables.

Unexpectedly, there happened to be a person bending over and getting out of the shop.

"Want to buy meat?"

The butcher seemed to be taking a break from work. In his hand was a cigarette, the cigarette was lit up with a bit of light on the tip.

He was tall and strong and standing at the door almost blocking half of the doorway. He thought that Kong Qiao was going to come in to buy vegetables, so he said, "Just in time, we have a discount."

Kong Qiao was a thin-skinned boy, he was embarrassed to directly walk away when he was addressed like this.

He gave a vague "oh", squeezed the briefcase in his hand, lowered his head, and went into the shop, thinking to himself, nevermind let's look around.

According to common sense, people who are not familiar with each other will subconsciously maintain a certain distance.

But standing at the shop's narrow doorway, the butcher didn't seem to have this way of thinking, so he stood there in a daze, at most he only turned a little sideways to let Kong Qiao pass.

Seeing this, Kong Qiao didn't have the nerve to ask others to get out of the way, so he could only bite the bullet[1] and walk past the man.

[1]to summon up courage/ to force oneself to do sth

When he came close, Kong Qiao happened to see the butcher crush out the cigarette butt pressed between his fingers.

Like casually crushing an ant.

Ah ah ah!

Kong Qiao couldn't help but let out a scream in his heart.

Isn't such an overbearing action exclusive to a big gong? Why is it so exciting when a butcher does it!?

Boo hoo!

Hateful!

Biting the handkerchief in his heart, Kong Qiao didn't notice that the moment the two bodies intersected at the door, the butcher's body stiffened for a moment.

The same as getting an electric shock.

This kind of small vegetable shop in the community focuses on selling out the vegetable supplies of the day, so the amount of goods stacked on the shelves every day is very well controlled.

Kong Qiao went in and took a turn, and found that most of the vegetables were gone, only some local cucumbers and potatoes were left, but there were also big sticks of cucumber left which were labeled for sale at a reduced price by the clerk.

After getting off work a little late today, Kong Qiao thought of what to eat so he took a cucumber and picked a box of liangpi[2] in the cooked food area, planning to make a simple liangpi salad.

[2]A noodle-like dish, with sesame paste, gluten, coriander, garlic, cucumber, rice vinegar, and salt you can make into a salad.

When he was choosing the vegetables, Tu Liang walked inside the store, leaning against the cashier's desk unable to take his eyes off of the person.

Kong Qiao's clothes were not set up right today, so he was a little sensitive to other people's eyes. When he turned his head for some reason, he happened to meet the man's dark, burning gaze.

"……"

Is he looking at me?

Is he looking at me, ah!?

Kong Qiao's heart pounded twice, and he swept this thought narcissistically in his heart, but he immediately remembered his slightly see-through pants again.

——No, no, he couldn't be looking at my ass, could he!?

When this idea jumped out, it couldn't be suppressed.

Kong Qiao pretended that he was still choosing vegetables, then glanced again at the butcher quietly.

"!"

That person is still watching!

The aggressive gaze made Kong Qiao subconsciously dare not to directly look at.

Is it possible that… he really saw my little yellow underwear?

Although Kong Qiao's heart was turbulent, he was still a reserved little fairy on the outside.

He is so shy that he can't imagine being found to be dissolute in private

Therefore, his guess just now made his whole face heat up, and two lovely pink spots appeared on his cheeks.

He didn't dare stay a moment longer, he hurriedly chose the vegetables, held the briefcase in front of his crotch to cover it, and hurried to the cashier to pay the bill.

The cashier who should be handling the payment went somewhere, and the butcher was standing at the cashier's desk instead.

Kong Qiao lowered his head, his face flushed as he looked at the big hands picking up the vegetables one by one to scan the barcode.

When it was the cucumber's time to be scanned, he didn't know if the barcode was pasted trickily. The butcher held the cucumber over and over to look for it for a long time and then used his fingertips to straighten the barcode on the cucumber skin before it was scanned successfully.

The big honey-colored rough hand was placed in front of Kong Qiao, lightly grasping the cucumber, holding and moving it around.

Kong Qiao could even see the thick calluses on the butcher's fingertips and knuckles born from holding the knife all year round.

Gudong.

Kong Qiao couldn't help thinking.

Those hands, if they touched the skin… must be coarse, how much more if they're caressed against the skin?

The straight cucumber also changed its appearance in Kong Qiao's eyes at this time, and it projected the image of the dream that had not dissipated last night, making Kong Qiao a little dizzy.

"A total of fifteen and eight yuan."

A low voice interrupted Kong Qiao's reverie, and he fished out his phone to pay.

But Kong Qiao forgot that a moment ago, he was scrolling on Douyin[2] while walking on the road, and the page was still stuck on the big-breasted blogger he was following.

[2]Tiktok

Oh, it's a man with a big chest.

So when he used his face to unlock his phone, a man with huge pectoral muscles and distinct abdominal muscles was showing off his bare muscles on the bright phone screen.

"……"

Social death[3] happened just like that.

[3]Social death is a buzzword on the Internet; it mainly refers to making a fool of yourself in front of the public, and it also generally refers to doing something embarrassing in the social circle, being unable to hold your head up, and being unable to carry out normal social interactions.

Kong Qiao wanted to dig a hole and bury his head in there on the spot, but even though his face was on the verge of collapsing, he still managed to close the video app and open the payment code.

"Cough. I-I'm working out."

But hiding through explaining only makes the matter more conspicuous.

"Oh."

Fortunately, the butcher in front of him didn't say anything, he just picked up the gun-shaped scanner to total the bill.

This allowed Kong Qiao to keep the last trace of his dignity.

After Kong Qiao was dazed when he returned home with the vegetables. He realized belatedly that there was no need for him to explain to the unfamiliar butcher.

H-he likes big pectoral muscles. What's wrong with that?!

Who doesn't have a fetish!? Humph.

On the other end, in the back room of the vegetable shop that was about to close, Tu Liang was taking off his blood-stained and dirty T-shirt along with his apron.

He looked down at his strong and protruding pectoral muscles and tight abdomen, there was a glimmer of light in his deep eyes.
