I Seem Unsuited For Dating

Mingyu's return trip was scheduled for three days later. Pulling his luggage behind him, he left to pick up Kim Man Man from Kim Bum's room.

By this time, Kim Man Man had already finished packing, but she held on to her tiny bag and refused to walk out the door.

"Man Man, Daddy will soon be back too. So first go home to A City with Uncle." Kim Bum knelt at the doorway to comfort her, but Kim Man Man pursed her mouth, a heartbroken expression on her face. Mingyu walked over and coaxed, "Man Man, are you all packed up?"

Kim Man Man glanced at him and turned her head away.

Mingyu said: "Come, Man Man, we must go this afternoon. If we get to the plane too late, it will fly away."

"Your uncle is right, don't let Mr. Driver wait too long." Kim Bt kissed her. "Goodbye, Man Man."

Kim Man Man's tears overflowed. Mingyu took her hand and said to her, "Man Man, say goodbye to Daddy."

"Daddy... bye bye." Kim Man Man said, sniffling.

Mingyu felt that it could only get more uncomfortable from here, so he simply picked Man Man up and walked to the elevator. Kim Bum's assistant followed them to help with the luggage.

On the way to the airport, Kim Man Man was silent, not even letting out a single word. Only when Mingyu took out a box of candy did she cheer up a little. Before boarding the plane, he sent a message to Lisa as usual: "I'm boarding now, please wait for me at home. I'll come right over once I get there."

Lisa: Okay! I'll have Sunshine and Tangerine lined up to welcome you back.

Mingyu: ......

After boarding, Kim Man Man fell asleep, only waking to eat once. At A City Airport, Mingyu  collected their luggage and led her to the exit. "Man Man, take a look around, see if you can spot Grandma."

"Mnnn, Grandma said she was wearing a flowery dress today."

... Mingyu glanced over at the ladies around them. Apparently flowery dresses were in fashion this season.

"Oh, I saw Grandma!" Kim Man Man pointed to the left, where her grandmother had also just caught sight of her. Mingyu led Man Man over and paid his greetings, then got ready to leave. Kim Man Man looked at him reluctantly: "Bye bye Uncle, remember to visit Man Man."

"I will." Mingyu bent over and rubbed her little head. "Get ready to eat something tasty the next time we see each other."

Once he got into a taxi outside the airport, he switched his phone back on. Lisa had sent him a message ten minutes ago asking if he had arrived.

Mingyu: Just got out of the airport. I'll be there within an hour.

Lisa: [Thumbs up]

Lisa: Since I knew you were coming back today, I bought a lot of tasty things!

Mingyu raised a brow and read the second half of her sentence--

Lisa: I'm waiting for you to get back!

Mingyu: ............

Lisa: Hurry up :)

Mingyu: ...at least get the ingredients ready.

Lisa: Ok!

Lisa understood that getting ingredients ready meant washing them. If she started cutting, Chef Kim would look down on her prep work. Although she had eaten lunch from Tian Xia Restaurant every day this month, she felt like there was hardly any comparison to Chef Kim's own cooking.

After washing up, she ran to the girlfriend group and announced: "Dear fellow students, Mr. Kim is coming back today!"

Eight Treasures Congee Female Hero: [indifference.jpg]

Invincible Little Sweetie: I remember once Mr. Kim talked about inviting us to dinner.

Eight Treasures Congee Female Hero: Please wait until I'm back! I'll definitely be back next month!

Not Losing 5kg Not Changing Name: :)

Not Losing 5kg Not Changing Name: Wait for me to come back too, please

Eight Treasures Congee Female Hero: ... When will you be back? Chinese New Year?

Not Losing 5kg Not Changing Name: I had a long talk with my parents. I still want to come home - if everything goes well, I should be back by the end of next month. I'll let you all know when I'm sure of the date.

Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: Sounds good.

Lisa chatted for a while with the group, planning to later harass Mr. Kim for his current location. She waited and waited until the doorbell finally rang.

"Woof woof!"

"Meow."

Lisa almost trampled them over rushing from the the sofa to the door at the same time. Outside, Mingyu stood with a suitcase and smiled a small smile at her.

At that moment, Lisa's heart burst into a myriad emotions, and she felt her nose begin to sour. Though he was clearly standing right in front of her, she had never missed him so much this last month as in this present moment.

"I'm back." Mingyu smiled.

"Oh... well... then, cook."

Mingyu: "..."

Lisa wanted to slap herself to death. Words to say tumbled in her head, but she had never been a person who showed her feelings. Even to her parents, she couldn't say "I love you" naturally. So now, looking at Mingyu face to face, she wasn't able to form the words "I missed you".

That simple sentence crossed the boundary of intimacy she was able to accept.

"I-- I prepared slippers for you." Lisa bent down to take out a pair of men's slippers and placed them in front of him. "And I prepared a new men's facial cleanser and lotion. It's greasy in the kitchen, you have to take care of yourself!"

Mingyu: "..."

He put on his new slippers and dragged his luggage inside. Both Tangerine and Sunshine surrounded him, scurrying about his feet and nudging at his legs. Mingyu squatted down and played with them for a while, before staring at Tangerine carefully. "Tangerine seems to have slimmed down a little since our last video call. Was it really the camera after all?"

Lisa replied, "Well, since you said he was a pig, I put him on a strict diet. Now he's slowing down a little on the road to pig."

Mingyu: "..."

No wonder he looked so dissatisfied.

"Then I'll go cook first. You accompany Sunshine and Tangerine." Mingyu said, going to the kitchen. Although Lisa had instructed him to cook, she felt rather guilty about it, knowing that he had just returned from a business trip and was exhausted. She followed him into the kitchen and stood beside him, saying, "Just make two simple dishes, and let me help you."

Mingyu looked at her and chuckled "What can you do? Pass the plates and bowls?"

Lisa: “…”

Although her cooking skills were not as good as Mingyu's, she was not completely incapable of cooking. After all, she had lived alone for so many years. But Mingyu obviously looked down on her cooking skills, and she was too lazy to serve him. Her kindness was in vain: "Then I'm going out to play, you can cook slowly by yourself."

Just as she was about to leave, Mingyu stopped her and said, "Then help me put on my apron."

Lisa: “…”

A chef has the style of a chef and he needs help to change his clothes.

She turned around to get the apron, and stood on tiptoe to put it around Mingyu's neck. When her wrist gently brushed Mingyu's earlobe, Mingyu's heart trembled. The friction sound was so subtle that it would be ignored if you didn't listen carefully, but it sounded like a drum to him.

He suddenly had a very strong urge to hug her tightly.

When Mingyu came to his senses, his hands were already around Lisa's waist. Lisa was completely stiff, just standing there blankly.

She had a special scent on her body. Mingyu  didn't know whether it was shower gel or perfume, but it smelled good. He lowered his head slightly and sniffed her neck: "What a nice scent, what is that?"

"After-shower perfume..." Lisa's voice was stiff, so was this what made him hug her? Ah, she remembered that the description of this perfume said that it was a scent that made people want to hug you and smell it carefully...

If I had known she would be so flirty, I wouldn't have sprayed perfume...

She thought that a straight man like Mr. Kim couldn't smell it...

"It smells good." Mingyu said and took another light sniff.

Lisa's heart was beating non-stop. His soft hair rubbed against her neck, making her heart itch "If you like, I'll lend it to you to spray...?"

Mingyu: “…”

He thinks that Lisa is the straight woman in the Economic and Trade Building, right?

He slightly distanced himself from her and looked at her rosy cheeks. Lisa also looked at him. Mr. Kim was really handsome, especially with his focused look now, which could easily make her heart flutter. She understood the current atmosphere, and it was estimated that Mr. Kim would come over and kiss her in the next moment. What should she do?

Mingyu really raised his head, pulled a finger of hair on her cheek back, and then slowly approached her. Seeing Mingyu's face enlarged in front of him, Lisa closed her eyes like a warrior.

What is coming will eventually come. Since Mingyu has decided to take this step, she must also be brave!

After closing her eyes, her other senses seemed to become sharper. Mingyu's warm breath fell on her face, and she actually felt a little bit of anticipation in her heart.

Amid her heartbeat like a storm, Mingyu's kiss finally landed on her lips. Very light, very soft, and warm.

Mingyu's lips stayed on hers for only a few seconds before leaving. Lisa slowly opened her eyes, and Mingyu was still looking at her intently.

The two were silent for a while, and Mingyu  spoke first "Well, how do you feel? Does it make you feel uncomfortable?"

Lisa pursed her lips and asked, "What about you? Don't you feel uncomfortable? I have an ex-boyfriend."

When she said that, Mingyu's brows knitted slightly. He looked at her and asked her with a slightly gloomy look "Have you ever kissed your ex-boyfriend?"

This question was very serious. Lisa thought about it seriously and said, "When they wanted to kiss me, I couldn't stand it and avoided it, but I kissed my face." After she finished speaking, she asked, "If I kissed my ex-boyfriend, would you break up with me?"

"Of course not, but I will definitely be unhappy." He felt uncomfortable when he thought about how Lisa had been so close to another man.

Lisa was silent for a while, then smiled at Mingyu "Mr. Kim, there is something I must remind you. You are dating me now. If you break up with me in the future because you can't accept that I have an ex-boyfriend, then you will also be a person who has an ex-girlfriend. A man who has an ex-girlfriend has no right to ask others not to have an ex-boyfriend."

Mingyu: “…”

Lisa's words made Mingyu feel deeply that he had been tricked.

"What if you initiate the break up because you can't accept intimacy?" Mingyu asked.

"Uh..." This is not easy to deal with, Lisa was in a dilemma. It seemed that she had to be responsible for Mr. Kim for the rest of her life. "You kissed me just now. Although I was a little uncomfortable, I could still tolerate it."

"Is that so?" Mingyu looked at her. "After kissing you a few times, you should get used to it."

Lisa: “…”

Why is it that when a man is in love, he only thinks about these things? "

"Help me tie my belt." Mingyu turned his back and raised his arms slightly. Lisa curled her lips, picked up the strings at both ends of the apron, and tied a very girlish bow for him.

"Alright." Lisa clapped her hands, and the job was done. "Then I won't disturb you while you cook!"

As she walked out the kitchen door, Mingyu called out to her, "Your new nail art looks very pretty."

"..." She'd done them yesterday especially for his return, but hadn't expected to actually get a compliment. "You really think so?"

Mingyu bit on his lower lip and said to her: "Didn't you tell me to always praise the beauty of a girl who just got a manicure?"

"...so what you mean is that you don't really think it's good?"

Mingyu: "..."

Why is she still angry even when he praises her?

"I still think it's better to do less manicures." As far as this issue went, Mingyu had always stuck steadfastly to his own opinion. "In fact, I still have concerns about it. Won't you be poisoned if you work in a nail salon the whole year round? After all, you're breathing in nail polish fumes everyday, why wouldn't it be harmful to the body?"

Lisa: "We wear masks when we work. You should stick to worrying about your skin turning yellow and oily after staying in the kitchen all day every day."

"I only cook a single dish in Tian Xia Restaurant every day, the rest of the time is cooking for you at home. But your worries are quite reasonable, should I maybe reduce how often I cook?"

Lisa: "..."

She really couldn't understand how this frank and straightforward Mr. Kim got so witty.

Forcing herself to stay calm, she told him, "In order to combat my worries, I've prepared lots of skin care products for you. Don't worry, I'll take good care of your skin."

Mingyu: "..."

After their clash of words, Lisa left the kitchen in high spirits. She sat down on the sofa, picked up her phone, and typed out a message to the girlfriend group: "Everyone, just now Mr. Kim finally hugged and kissed me!"

Eight Treasures Congee Female Hero: So... this meal that we're invited to, it's never happening then?

Not Losing 5kg Not Changing Name: hahahahahahahaha

Invincible Little Sweetie: How do you feel?

Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: I'm not used to it, but it isn't as awful as I'd imagined. I feel like this time, maybe I'll actually have a relationship succeed!

Not Losing 5kg Not Changing Name: I beg you, don't tempt fate like that, okay?

Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: ...[Khan]

Invincible little Sweetie: This is a good sign. It doesn’t matter if you’re not used to it. You’ll get used to it after a few more kisses.

Asked about suicide again at eighteen this year: Mins you are such a bad bad, you actually said the same thing as Mr. Kim :)

Eight Treasure Porridge Heroine: Okay, she is here to torture the dog, everyone go away

Invincible Sweetie:

Lisa didn't intend to argue with them, but Mina  sent her a private message: "I hope everything goes well for you and Mr. Kim! [Pray]"

Lisa thought of what she had said to herself before. She thought that every time they broke up, apart from the two parties involved,  Mina was the saddest.

Asked about suicide again at eighteen this year: Thank you [cute]

Asked about suicide again at eighteen this year: I really want to be with Kim Mingyu till the end, I will try my best [cute]

Invincible little Sweetie: Well, you will definitely be happy. I wish you all the best.

Asked about suicide again at eighteen this year:

Although she was very determined, she didn't have much confidence. If it really didn't work... she would just go find Mingyu's psychiatrist. But this doctor couldn't even cure him, so could he really be trusted?

After lunch, Lisa discovered a serious problem. The dishwasher was placed in Mingyu's house...

"Um, can you take the pots and pans downstairs? I'll wash them in the dishwasher." Lisa asked.

"..." Mingyu, who was playing with the cat, was silent for a moment, "How lazy are you?"

"I'm not lazy, I just think it's a waste not to use a dishwasher. It's very expensive."

Mingyu twitched his lips, stood up and said, "Then you take care of it. I'll carry the suitcase and hold Tangerine."

"Okay, no problem!" As long as she is not asked to wash the dishes, everything can be negotiated.

So when Mingyu came out of the house with the suitcase in one hand, Tangerine in the other, and Lisa holding a pot full of dishes, they were caught by the neighbor's young lady.

The air suddenly became quiet. The young lady looked at this mysterious scene and still performed well as an adult "Ms. Manoban, Mr. Kim, good afternoon."

"Good afternoon." Lisa held the pot and smiled stiffly, "The sink at my house is broken, and I was just about to take the dishes to Mr. Kim's house to wash them."

"Oh, so that's it, haha." But why was Mr. Kim still dragging a suitcase and holding a cat? But since they had seen the underwear before, what else could be impossible? After the greetings, they pretended that nothing had happened.

However, after that day, the news that Mr. Kim from 1808 in Building 3 and Miss Manoban from 1908 were getting married started to spread in the community. Whenever the residents who knew each other well met and had nothing to talk about while taking a walk, walking the dog, or feeding the cat, they would use this as a topic of conversation.

It can be said that he is always successful in the chat field.

Finally, the rumor reached the ears of the person involved. Lisa didn't know what Mingyu was thinking, but she felt very embarrassed! Now everyone's eyes became ambiguous when they saw her, and they almost asked her for a wedding invitation!

"Did you hear what I just said?" She poked Mingyu, who was sitting in the living room with his computer surfing the Internet. Tangerine lay between his legs and meow lazily. Mingyu nodded and said, "I heard it."

"So what do you think?"

"Let them be."

Lisa: “…”

I really want to let Sunshine bite him!

She came close to the computer and asked in dissatisfaction, "What have you been watching since just now? It can't be some pornographic website!"

"..." Mingyu tilted the computer screen towards her, "Looking at houses."

Lisa was stunned for a moment. The screen was indeed the official website of the real estate company "Kerry International? Do you want to buy a new house?"

Mingyu nodded "I have this plan. The house is still a little small for the two of us, a cat and a dog, and we will have a baby in the future."

Lisa blushed at his words "You are thinking too far ahead, you are still a little baby, you are so beautiful!"

Mingyu turned his head and looked at her, with a little smile on his face: "Don't you want a cute child like Manman?"

"Not all kids are as cute as Manman! There are also naughty kids like the one who cut off  Tangerine's beard!"

"Our child will definitely be very cute. I will educate her well."

Lisa: “…”

So I said, who told you that you have a baby? You are shameless!

"And didn't you just say that the neighbors' gossip made you uncomfortable? We won't have that problem if we move away."

Lisa: “…”

She turned her head away, avoiding Mingyu's soft gaze "Humph, the longest relationship I had with my previous boyfriend was only three months, you should just hold on for three months first."

Mingyu's eyes moved, and he put his arm around Lisa's waist: "What you said reminds me that we agreed to kiss each other more often."

Lisa: “…”

Damn, men really
