142. Just Kidding?
"What did you call me for?" Kiana asked.
"What else could it be? Let's eat together! Can you cook on your own?" Yun Ling asked.
"..." A paramecium was utterly crushed by Yun Ling's simple question.
"I found a bunch of instant noodle bowls when I was cleaning your place. You usually eat instant noodles at home, right? No wonder you're so thin." Said Yun Ling while he tugged at her arm.
Kiana blushed, too embarrassed to argue.
"The food was almost ready. Mei asked me to come and call you. From now on, just come over for a meal on time during holidays, so I won't have to call you." Yun Ling gently pulled Kiana up from the sofa.
"Yuna, you go too," Yun Ling instructed Yuna, who was standing nearby.
"Okay, I know, Yun Ling." Yuna nodded obediently and walked towards the next room.
Seeing this, Kiana subconsciously clicked her tongue.
"Yuna really listens to you," Kiana retorted.
"Well, that's Yuna's personality flaw. Let's go." Yun Ling pulled Kiana back to his house.
"Even if you ordered her to do something lewd, she definitely wouldn't refuse, right?" Kiana asked tentatively.
Yun Ling glanced at her, as if he were looking at an idiot.
"Does this kind of thing need to be ordered? If I agreed to let Yuna do something to me, do you think she wouldn't cling to me?"
"Tch, I don't believe you, you narcissist. If Yuna really listened and was 100% obedient to a lecher like you, wouldn't you be tempted?" Kiana couldn't help but retort.
Yun Ling sighed upon hearing this.
"Kiana, you've misunderstood something. Actually, I'm a fairly innocent guy. I usually only do things outrageously for girls I like."
"Of course, I don't rule out the possibility that I might fall for Yuna over time, but that time will definitely not be now."
Yun Ling shrugged. Was it because he usually expressed his affection for Mei and Kiana too openly that they mistook him for a pervert?
"Oh~ so you were just teasing me!" Kiana lightly punched Yun Ling.
Just now, he was acting like a lecherous old man, trying to get physical with her, but now it seems he just wanted to tease her playfully?
"Teasing you?" Yun Ling suddenly stopped, slowly hooking Kiana's chin with his hand and pinning her against the wall.
His eyes met hers, and a jolt seemed to run through Kiana's body; her face flushed involuntarily.
"What...what are you doing?" Kiana asked in a panic.
Yun Ling didn't use much force, and Kiana could have easily slapped his hand away with a slight effort.
But at this moment, her body seemed to have lost all strength, leaving her helplessly watching Yun Ling do as he pleased.
"Didn't you say I was just trying to scare you? Well, I will try it then." Yun Ling's breath hit Kiana's face, making her body tremble involuntarily.
Watching Yun Ling slowly approach, Kiana's pupils dilated, her eyelashes fluttered, and finally, thinking of nothing, she closed her eyes.
Question: When someone you like closes their eyes shyly in front of you, would you choose to tease them or kiss them?
Before yesterday, Yun Ling would have chosen the former.
But now, Yun Ling chose the latter.
Yun Ling gently tasted those incredibly alluring red lips. Kiana's hand clenched, then slowly loosened, finally weakly pulling at Yun Ling's clothes at the waist, responding to his burning love.
Kiana whimpered softly, like a kitten, a mixture of resistance and pleasure.
Their lips parted, a thin, transparent thread connecting their lips.
Kiana's breathing grew heavy. She slowly opened her eyes, looking at Yun Ling before her.
His eyes finally seemed to recognize her.
"Still think I was just trying to scare you, Kiana?" Yun Ling asked.
"..." Kiana blushed, pulling her hand away from Yun Ling's grasp, opening the door, and going inside.
Mei had finished preparing the final dish, and Yuna helped bring it up for her.
"Kiana, did you smell the aroma? You just ran over when you finished cooking," Mei said half-jokingly.
"Uh... um! Mei's cooking smells so good, I could smell it from next door!" Kiana awkwardly praised Mei's cooking.
"It's not that dramatic. By the way, where's Yun Ling?" Mei looked behind Kiana, finding no trace of Yun Ling.
"He...he's outside..." Kiana's voice trailed off.
"I went out to buy soy sauce." Yun Ling appeared quietly in the doorway, a bottle of soy sauce in his hand.
"Come and eat!"
At the table, Mei and Yuna sat beside Yun Ling, while Kiana sat directly opposite him.
What Mei found strange was that Kiana had little appetite today; she barely touched the food in front of her.
She had prepared the food according to the usual portions for four people, and Kiana, who usually had the biggest appetite, had eaten less, so Mei could tell something was wrong at a glance.
"What's wrong, Kiana? Is it not to your liking?" Mei looked at Kiana with concern.
"How could it be! I love Mei's cooking the most! I was thinking about something just now. I'll eat now!" Kiana immediately picked up her chopsticks and began to eat heartily.
"Phew...that scared me to death! I thought you didn't like today's dishes; otherwise, it would have been a waste." Mei let out a long sigh.
"Yun Ling, even though you're a carnivore, you should still eat more vegetables." Mei placed a green pepper in Yun Ling's bowl.
"...Yuna, you're not getting enough nutrition, you eat it." Yun Ling directly placed the green pepper in Yuna's bowl.
Although Mei's other dishes are delicious, this green pepper... boiled in plain water, without any seasoning, is something Yun Ling has always disliked.
"Eh?!" Yuna's expression froze. She doesn't like green peppers either...
But it was Yun Ling who put it there...
Yuna could only scrunch up her face and finish the green pepper in her bowl.
"Don't be picky! And don't force-feed it to Yuna!" Mei gently tugged at Yun Ling's ear.
"It's...it's okay, I really like it."
Yuna's smile looked like she was about to cry, but she still pretended to like it.
Yun Ling secretly gave Yuna a thumbs-up.
"Sigh, Yuna-san, you can't always spoil Yun Ling, or you'll spoil him rotten." Mei gently rubbed her forehead.
To prevent Mei from forcing him to eat more green peppers, Yun Ling decisively sped up his meal and finished his rice in one gulp.
"I'm done!" Yun Ling put down his bowl, looking satisfied.
Mei looked at Yun Ling and suddenly noticed a grain of rice at the corner of his mouth.
"Like a little kid, you can't even eat properly."
Mei wiped the rice grain from Yun Ling's face, then, in front of Kiana and Yuna, put the rice grain into her mouth.
