Every Meal - Chapter 36: I Like Them All

Translator: Deyonna

---

Ding-ling-ling——

The alarm clock dutifully fulfilled its role, vibrating next to the slightly open curtains, calling for its owner to wake up in the faint light.

Kong Qiao groaned under the covers before lifting his hand from the crumpled sheets to turn off the alarm.

It was an ordinary morning, just like any other day.

The only difference from other days was that he kept holding his waist today.

Even when he applied moisturizer to his face and buttocks, he had to lie on his stomach on the bed to do it — the reason for it was a certain part of his body had been overworked, and standing up straight made it too sore!

If it weren't for his department leader urging him, Kong Qiao would have wanted to take a few more days off to rest and recover.

But he later thought that it was good to return to work.

Staying at home, he couldn't predict how many times his little flower would be ravaged in a day!!!

After mentally beating the culprit with a small whip for a while, Kong Qiao finished applying his lotion and, while holding his waist, he decided to go drink some hot water.

When he walked out of the bedroom, he found that the living room, which was a mess yesterday, was now unexpectedly cleaned and restored.

And on the kitchen table was a plate of rich breakfast.

Next to it was a crooked note, written in a font that resembled that of a primary school student—

 [Qiao Qiao, heat it and eat.]

Kong Qiao took off the sticky note and stared at it several times.

Then he let out a scream and pounced on the sofa, holding the note in his hands.

His legs were raised in the air, waving and spinning several times.

Kacha—Kacha—

The person on the sofa opened his phone and took a picture a few times, adding several photos to his album.

The photos were filtered with an incredibly bright and sunny sweet filter, and had pink captions overflowing with girlishness - "Love Breakfast!"

Then, like a peacock flaunting its tail, Kong Qiao opened his chat app and sent the photos to his close friend on the other end of the phone.

"!!!"

The other end quickly replied with three exclamation marks.

"You got it?!!!"

"So fast?!!"

"You successfully seduced him?!!"

"Did you sleep with him?!"

"How do you feel?"

"Is it big? Is it good? How long did he last?"

It was clear that his close friend, who shared the same sexual orientation, cared deeply about his love life.

Even more excited than Kong Qiao himself.

Kong Qiao giggled and sent three emojis back to Chu Yao - [shy][secretly laughing][grinning].

Very obvious and very arrogant.

After showing off his love life, Kong Qiao happily put down his phone and went to heat his love breakfast.

Leaving only the phone screen still lit up, his close friend with the nickname "Xiao Weiqu" was left feeling envious and jealous, biting a small handkerchief and leaving behind tears of resentment as he replied to him—

"You wait. This old lady will soon be able to eat too."

After finishing his breakfast, Kong Qiao finally got ready to leave.

However, today he had a particularly difficult time choosing what to wear from his wardrobe.

He scanned through his shirts, one by one, but the "complete corpse" of the longest one that could cover his butt was nowhere to be found. The torn piece of cloth was probably thrown away by the man who had ruined it when he left in the morning.

Kong Qiao's fingers slid up and down the shirts, hesitating for a long time, but in the end, he chose a tender green one.

The one… that made him look the whitest.

He took off his pajamas and put on the shirt, buttoning it up one by one, covering the red marks on his bare skin.

However, when Kong Qiao reached the second to last button, he noticed some speckled marks on his neck that could not be covered.

"...... Beast!"

He bit his lip and cursed inwardly with a hint of coquettishness before finally buttoning up the shirt to the top and tying a white bow tie around his neck to barely cover the ambiguous marks on his neck.

After dressing himself up, Kong Qiao finally left the house.

In fact, time was already tight, so he had to quicken his pace and hurry to the company.

However, the consequence of indulgence was that his body was not completely under his control. The faster he walked, the weaker his legs became. When he reached the traffic lights downstairs, he felt a certain part of his body that was rubbed by his pants starting to ache and itch.

The red light in the morning was not long. As soon as the light turned green, the vehicles on the road rushed past, and the office workers waiting on the sidewalk hurriedly walked. Compared to them, Kong Qiao, who was slowly crossing the zebra crossing, seemed to stand out even more.

Tu Liang was across the intersection, and as soon as he looked up, he saw the person that he had been thinking about.

"Hey, come out! Help me move this box of fruit down!"

The people unloading the goods from the big truck were lazy and shouted for the store's employees to help them. When he saw the man standing by the door looking off into the distance and ignoring him, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed and was about to shout at him.

However, when the man came out from behind the cash register, his muscular and fierce appearance silenced him immediately. He slinked away and carried the heavy box of fruit into the store to unload it himself.

Meanwhile, the tall and muscular man in a butcher's apron quickly rummaged through a cabinet under the cash register, grabbed something, and walked out of the store.

"Qiao Qiao!"

As Kong Qiao crossed the street, a sudden black shadow darted in front of him.

It was none other than the culprit who had caused him to be in such a miserable state now!

"Get out of the way!~"

He huffed and glared at the butcher, then twisted his butt and walked to the side.

However, his voice was weak and feeble, lacking in might, and it instead carried a hint of soft hoarseness, which was due to him crying too much for two days.

"Oh."

The big man, who was usually efficient and capable, was now frightened by his words. Not knowing where to put his hands and feet, he only chose to take two steps back.

He almost tripped on the pavement.

"...so stupid."

Kong Qiao secretly scolded under his breath and instinctively grabbed the man's apron.

Alas.

Greasy.

The next second, Kong Qiao felt the man's hand grip his fingers.

He stood on the side of the road, with most of his body blocked by Tu Liang's tall and muscular figure. Before he could react to what the man was doing, his fingertips were pressed against a hard and elastic muscle.

"Dirty. Wipe your hands.

It turned out that the butcher had lifted his butcher apron, revealing a white utility undershirt underneath. And Kong Qiao's fingers were being held and wiped against the man's abdomen.

"......"

Scheming!!!

Kong Qiao silently recited to himself, "Beauty confuses people, beauty confuses people," and poked the man's abdominal muscles a few times in anger before retracting his small claws and scolding him. "I'm going to be late!"

"Oh, oh. Then you should hurry to work."

Tu Liang reluctantly let go of his hand, but as Kong Qiao lifted his foot to walk away, he grabbed his wrist again.

"Here, take this."

He handed the bag in his hand to the little peacock.

"What is this?~"

Kong Qiao took it and felt that it was a big package.

"Butt cushion."

Tu Liang's gaze couldn't help but fall on the little peacock's perky buttocks. "You take it and use it to cushion your seat. It'll be more comfortable."

"..." Kong Qiao's face turned red. "It's called a seat cushion!"

"Well, it's the same thing."

Tu Liang was an uneducated man and usually referred to it that way. Seeing the little peacock staring at him, he corrected himself. "Okay, okay, seat cushion. Take it and sit on it."

Kong Qiao: "..." Swelled up like a pufferfish.

The two of them stood on the side of the road like that, talking about nothing in particular, taking turns to speak.

Reluctant to take a step away from each other.

It wasn't until Kong Qiao looked at his wristwatch and realized that he was already so late that he said goodbye to Tu Liang.

Tu Liang didn't stop him. He just looked at his legitimate little boyfriend from head to toe with his dark pupils.

Being looked at, Kong Qiao's buttocks tighten up.

He then said in a hoarse voice, "Qiao Qiao, you look really good in what you wear today."

Kong Qiao's gaze shifted to the side.

"I-I just wore it on a whim."

Tu Liang grinned and didn't expose him, only asking, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

He was proudly displaying his sole privilege to his lover.

"Pork ribs, tenderloin, or pork belly?"

"I... saved some meat for you in advance, so I can cook it for you."

Kong Qiao's eyes slowly moved back to him.

"Um..." He rubbed his toe on the ground. "You decide."

A pair of delicate leather shoes lifted off the ground.

Someone's lips approached someone else's mouth.

Smooch.

A soft sound echoed in the most ordinary street corner of this city.

"I like them all."

Author's Afterword: 

Unexpectedly, I had written a whole book without even realizing it.

This article was beyond my expectations from beginning to end. It had no outline, and I basically wrote it with my eyes closed (yes, it's all on Ruoyaya, and not on Suyaya!)[1]

[1] The Ruo of Ruoyaya-the author's pen name- means meat while the Su in Suyaya is vegetarian. Suyaya is also one of the author's many pen names. Under Rouyaya's pen name are stories with lots of meat and under Suyaya's pen name are, well, stories that are slightly vegetarian.

Originally, I only wanted to write one or two play scenes that I wanted to see, but I accidentally ended up writing 70,000 words!

For me, it was a new attempt and challenge, and the almost 30 chapters of driving[2] was probably something I couldn't do again in the future_(:з」∠)_. Although the road was too long and the driving speed was a bit slow, at least it was satisfying to read it all at once? Hahahaha(*/ω＼*)

[2] Slang for sex

Brother Tu and Qiao Qiao's love story has just begun, but I think there's no need to write more. They can live well on their own.

Thank you to everyone who followed me from wb(weibo) to fw (feiwen/sosad.fun), and to all the little cuties who are waiting patiently without an account[3]. It is your expectations and encouragement that made me persist in completing the entire story.

[3]feiwen/sosad.fun is a very private and strict site. You need an invitation code to register. Without an invitation code you'll be severely restricted in the site but getting an invite code is almost close to impossible. I've been joining countless raffle draws on Weibo for an invitation code for almost a year now, lmao.

This book can be said to have no writing style, especially for a novice like me. Everyone can just read it for fun, don't take it too seriously. If it can bring you a little happy time, it is my greatest achievement!

Now I also live alone in an unfamiliar big city.

Sometimes when I pass by the street, walking on the concrete roads, I wonder how other people in this city live?

Is there really a butcher who chops meat every day and squats outside the shop, smoking and watching passersby?

Is there really a corporate drone who is a happy little gay, dressing up exquisitely and cutely every day, just to meet his ideal lover?

This story was mostly born out of such thoughts.

At the end of the story, they return to their ordinary work and life.

Life is like this. Time will continue to flow like water, but this city has lost two lonely figures and gained a pair of sweet lovers enjoying their love.

They will say goodbye to each other in the morning and go to work, buy groceries and cook together in the evening, cuddle up in their rented nest to watch TV, kiss and make love.

Life is simple, but it is beautiful.

I believe that one day, we will all meet our perfect match.

Okay, I've already talked too much.

Next, I will focus on finishing another story. If there is a chance, I will write some extras about their daily life and the story of another couple.

Finally, if you think this story is okay and can make you happy even for a short while, whether you are reading the updates or stealing the text, I hope you can leave some footprints and bring me some happiness too!

The road of life is long. We will meet again someday if faith lets us.

-

Translator's Corner: We've finally reached the end of this story. Thank you for sticking with me guys, I really appreciate it. There will be 4 extras so it's not yet a good bye for our little peacock and big butcher. Stay tuned for the extras!
