In the following days, Liu Buli quickly understood a truth through personal experience—
He wasn't some piece of trash who bullied idiots, but after being meticulously cared for by the other party, he would truly lose his basic human principles very easily.
For instance, when he intended to cook lunch, he was stopped by Lu Wuming just as he reached the kitchen door. According to the man, the knives in the kitchen were too sharp, and Liu Buli was just an ordinary human now. Such things could harm him, so for safety's sake, he should just stay put by the door.
Liu Buli, of course, rejected this explanation without hesitation. He told the other party that he had been cooking for so many years, and the number of times he had cut his hand with a cleaver was negligible.
He had originally intended to use this as a basis for argument, but unexpectedly, upon hearing that he had actually been injured, the other party immediately and forcefully drove him out of the kitchen. He even set up a water barrier at the kitchen door, preventing him from even leaning there to watch the other man cook.
As Liu Buli returned to the living room to watch television, he could only comfort himself inwardly.
Lu Wuming's cooking skills were indeed much better than his own.
There was no need to hurt his stomach just to win a momentary point, right? So, cooking should be left to the other person. As for what he himself could do, at least washing the dishes should be fine, right?
With this mindset, Liu Buli finished his lunch.
When he intended to wash the dishes, Lu Wuming seemed to have read his mind. With a flick of his finger, spiritual energy transformed into water droplets, washing all the bowls and chopsticks they had just used spotlessly clean.
Liu Buli stared at everything before him, feeling utterly dazed.
In the time that followed, Lu Wuming used the same method to clean his entire house. As for his dirty clothes, they were naturally washed clean, with an even better result than a washing machine.
After such a day, Liu Buli finally realized the other party's intentions.
Before lying back down on the bed, Liu Buli blinked his eyes and earnestly asked Lu Wuming, "Um... Lu Wuming, I have a question. You said we've been together for many years, but in terms of daily life, you've been the one worrying about everything from start to finish. Not only do I not help you, but I also add a lot of extra work for you due to my habits. It's not just that; I often make you learn new dishes because I'm greedy. I'm such a scumbag, don't you get tired of being with me?"
Liu Buli thought about it seriously.
If he found a boyfriend like this, even if that boyfriend's appearance was his ideal type, he would absolutely not live with that person long-term.
However, Lu Wuming was clearly not like that.
Not only did he show no signs of anger, but he even appeared to be thoroughly enjoying himself.
Upon hearing Liu Buli's question, he very firmly waved his hand, negating Liu Buli's thoughts and saying, "Master has never been a scumbag. I do these things willingly. Master also said he wanted to help me, but I refused. I just want to do it this way, and I like doing it this way."
He spoke very earnestly.
But Liu Buli didn't quite believe him.
Staring at the other person with a face full of suspicion, it was clear that if Lu Wuming didn't give him a reasonable answer, he wouldn't easily end today's conversation.
The two of them stared at each other for a moment. Finally, it was Lu Wuming who couldn't withstand the pressure, stammering his reply, "It's just... if I handle all of Master's daily life matters, Master will gradually forget how to do these things. If I'm not around, it will be very troublesome for you to live alone."
Liu Buli raised an eyebrow.
He wanted to retort, but after considering his own personality, he realized that if it went on for too long, he might indeed develop such a habit.
But even if he developed that habit, so what?
Liu Buli shook his head and said, "Even so, if you're not around and I can't do these things myself, I can hire someone else to do them."
"That is possible, yes," Lu Wuming nodded, his smile utterly humble as he said, "But I always feel that if I can do it better than everyone else, even if it's purely to make Master's life more comfortable, you won't easily abandon me..."
