Chapter 36: The Misadventure of Zhu'er and XiaoXiao! (3)
How do I eat this without showing my face?
Sun Zhu and Xiaojun were in the same dilemma. They didn't know what to do with their mask. Since both of them wanted to keep their identity a secret. Thus, both Xiaojun and Sun Zhu stared at each other awkwardly.
"X—XiaoXiao, are you uncomfortable showing your face?" Sun Zhu initiated first.
Xiaojun nodded pitifully and replied, "XiaoXiao is not a good-looking man. I am afraid that Zhu'er will not like me after you see my face, especially since I know that you are a handsome man without that mask." Xiaojun dodged.
Sun Zhu almost got a heart attack with that. He thought XiaoXiao had discovered his identity. But it seemed what XiaoXiao said was true. XiaoXiao was not aware of the trend since he was only inside the BL bubble.
"Ah, no, XiaoXiao. Zhu'er is also not good-looking. I'm an average guy," Sun Zhu said. "W—We are both an average guy working with minimum wage, right?" Sun Zhu asked.
"Yes, yes! Definitely!" Xiaojun confirmed.
…
…
THIS DAMNED AWKWARD SILENCE AGAIN!
Sun Zhu was frustrated. He was never this frustrated in his life. Even if he had to take the most challenging movie, it was the hardest to tackle by far. Because he was trying to imagine what an average guy would say and do.
Sun Zhu and Xiaojun stared at their happy meal. They were both hungry but exposing themselves…
'I don't want XiaoXiao to know my real identity and run away. Because XiaoXiao is a modest office worker. He even said it himself that he doesn't like someone who attracts too much attention…' Sun Zhu thought.
'Ah, what to do… I don't want Zhu'er to know my real identity. He will definitely get intimidated by my position and run away. Zhu'er said that he hates people that stands out too much…' Xiaojun thought.
They were in a stalemate until Sun Zhu suggested. "Then, what if… we try to look the opposite way? You eat while looking at your left, and I eat while looking at my left. So we will not see each other's face."
"Great idea!" Xiaojun turned away to the left, while Sun Zhu did the same by turning away to his left. They started eating by opening the mask from the bottom slowly. But since they were too paranoid about being discovered by each other, both Sun Zhu and Xiaojun ate while curling up, like primitives munching on their food.
The guests glanced at these two obviously handsome young men. Even if they only showed their eyes, it was obvious that both could be models or actors.
But their handsome face didn't reflect on their weird way of eating. They were now curling up while munching on burger who got everywhere on their chin because they refused to fully remove their face mask.
'What is wrong with these two?' people pondered.
After a while, both Sun Zhu and Xiaojun finished their burger. They acted as if they were eating normally, and after that, they pocketed their Spongebob toys with pride on their faces. They fixed their mask again, and Xiaojun said first, "Zhu'er, do you want to go somewhere?"
"Ah yes…" Sun Zhu tried to remember what he wanted to do within his date list. He never went on a date before, so he googled the best date spot or what to do on the first date.
And the first thing that came to his mind was… arcade!
"Let's go to the arcade!" Sun Zhu said.
Truth be told, Sun Zhu never enjoyed the arcade when he was a child. Well, he did, maybe once or twice a year. But he didn't remember much about it. Because he was a popular child actor in high demand, he was always working and working.
Xiaojun paused for a moment. He tried to remember if he had ever been in an arcade before, and the answer was… nope.
He was always busy developing his family business. His high school was filled with him acting like a cold male god while actually gushing over handsome men in secret.
"Let's go…" Xiaojun nodded, though he was unsure of what to do there.
Sun Zhu and Xiaojun walked to the arcade and saw many things that they didn't even know themselves. But they did know some things, like the claw machine.
Sun Zhu and Xiaojun bought the coins for playing in arcade, and they went to the claw machine in unison. They were about to insert their coins in the same place, and when they realized it, their eyes met.
"XiaoXiao, I will be the one who gives you a doll," Sun Zhu said.
"No, no! Zhu'er, I will be the provider!" Xiaojun denied.
They stared at each other again, and Sun Zhu went to the second claw machine and said competitively, "XiaoXiao, whoever gives the first doll will be the provider."
Xiaojun always wanted to be the provider in a family, so he also replied competitively, "Fine! I will win!"
Xiaojun and Sun Zhu used their coins to grab a doll from the claw machine. But it seemed that both of them were really bad at playing arcade games. So they had wasted all their coins.
Xiaojun and Sun Zhu squinted at each other, and they rushed towards the counter again. They took out their not-so-obvious Louis Vuitton and Prada wallets and took some cash.
"I want more coins!" they said in unisons.
The previously calm claw machine was suddenly surrounded by many people who watched two men used so many coins just to get a small doll.
Sun Zhu and Xiaojun squinted at each other. Their hands were already sweaty because they played so much, but they didn't want to yield at each other!
Finally, after so many coins, Sun Zhu obtained a penguin doll. He grabbed it from the prize box hurriedly and showed it to Xiaojun.
"XiaoXiao, I win—"
"Zhu'er, I win—"
They got the doll at the same time, and both were penguin dolls. It took them 1400 yuan or 200 dollars to get each.
From the very beginning, a high school girl who was watching them saw two penguin dolls and commented out of the blue, "Ah, Geges, did you two intentionally aim the penguin dolls? Because two male penguins may love each other in the wild, you know."
The girl giggled at the awkward Xiaojun and Sun Zhu, then she said, "Ah, please don't mind me. I just saw you two from afar and find that you two look perfect together. Especially since both of you look similar to the top bachelor of the country!"
The girl pointed at Sun Zhu and said. "With only your perfectly symmetrical eyes, I really thought that you are Sun Zhu, the Movie Emperor of China!"
The girl then pointed at Xiaojun, "And you, although you are using glasses. Those peach blossom eyes remind me of Feng Xiaojun, the handsome and cold CEO of Feng Group!"
"Sun Zhu x Feng Xiaojun, ZhuJun ship! This is like a fanfic, kyaaaah!" The girl squealed.
