    Summary

    Mo Ran tries to win over the new librarian at his university through his cooking. It goes well, up until someone else takes a page out of his book and starts to bring Chu Wanning food too.

    Much to Mo Ran’s satisfaction, Chu Wanning starts with his food first. Mo Ran leans back in his chair and folds his arms over his chest, watching as Chu Wanning delicately vacuums the entire thermos worth of noodles.

    “Was it good?” Mo Ran asks and Chu Wanning nods. The smallest smile tugs at the corner of his lips and Mo Ran almost sends himself over the moon when Chu Wanning says, “You’re a talented cook.”

    The mood is quickly punctured by Chu Wanning pushing the cursed dish towards Mo Ran mere moments later.

    “Have some,” he says, nodding towards Mo Ran's direct competition. “They’re not terrible.”

    Mo Ran can’t help it. He looks at the container like it’s his mortal enemy.

    Summary

    For a fleeting moment, just before he opens his eyes, Chu Wanning feels as if things were just like how they used to be—he would wake up, find himself tucked into Mo Ran’s arms, the birds outside would chirp noisily, and everything would be right in this world again.

    But that isn’t his reality.

    Not anymore.

    After five years of marriage, Mo Ran and Chu Wanning are filing for a divorce.

    Summary

    The man tosses the towel unceremoniously back at Mo Ran’s chest, like he’s personally offended by it. And the fact that his hands had just been all over said chest barely minutes earlier, maybe.
     
    “Please pack a box of egg tarts with extra custard filling, a box of red bean paste buns with extra syrup, a rice pudding with extra candied fruit garnish, and a box of osmanthus cakes with extra sweet pear jam.”
     
    Mo Ran’s eyes grow progressively wider as he lists the items. 
     
    It’s him.
     
    Not the suburban mother of four, not the elderly guy dealing with a midlife crisis, but quite possibly the hottest guy he’s ever seen. Who also happens to have the highest sugar tolerance Mo Ran has seen in a human being in his two years of running this bakery.

    Summary

    Chu Wanning is asleep on the bed, clutching his hands tightly to his chest and curled in on himself. He’s still wearing the same robes he was in in the water prison. On the writing desk, a bowl of water and clean linen for bandages sit untouched, and a tub of bathwater has cooled without being used. Mo Ran sighs to himself. Wanning is truly hopeless.

    He sits on the side of the bed and touches Chu Wanning’s shoulder. “Wanning,” he says. “Wanning, wake up.”

    ---

    Rare 0.5 tenderness, after the water prison.
