Chapter 50: GFC
Zhao Luo was standing at the exit with Brother Sang and Yan.
With nothing left to say to the elder they just nodded at him and then turned towards the exit which was the same glass door through which they had entered.
‘The door that sucked me before!’
Zhao Luo thought as he brought his hand close to the door slowly. He knew that the door will start pulling him in once he comes in contact with the glass surface. He was trying to go slow as he didn’t want to be pulled in abruptly.
‘Wooop.’
Zhao Luo appeared outside of the shop.
It all happened in an instance.
Even though he was approaching the glass surface slowly he was still sucked in suddenly. He expected the pull but it was indeed a weird process.
‘Wooop Wooop.’
Brother Sang and Yan also appeared behind him.
Good Kids.
Elder Bo said as the three had left his shop. He was quite impressed by them even though they hadn’t shown him much or anything from the start. It was just how experienced he was. At his age just a single glance would be enough to see the worth of a person.
Outside the Shop.
Brother Sang tapped his robes.
He stood straight and looked at Zhao Luo.
Zhao Luo looked at Brother Sang and he noticed that Brother Sang couldn’t take his eyes off him.
They were already on top of a mountain and with the way Brother Sang was looking at Zhao Luo with the shade of evening in the sky there could be nothing weirder than this.
What is it Brother Sang?
Zhao Luo asked Brother Sang.
Even though Zhao Luo wasn’t annoyed by the stare from Brother Sang the silence was getting to him.
‘Say something already.’
Zhao Luo didn’t like the quietude as Brother Sang was a guy who would rarely keep his mouth closed.
Brother Luo looking at you gives me an eternal calmness. It’s like I can finally see the true form of nature. The complete form.
Brother Sang was actually in a shock.
It all happened as he appeared outside of the shop.
He was tapping his robe to straighten it and as he stood straight his eyes fell on Zhao Luo.
It was at this moment he knew that he had seen something that he will never forget.
‘Beautiful.’
From Brother Sang’s view he could see the mesmerizing handsome Zhao Luo standing in front of the evening sky as the sun was setting in the direction behind Zhao Luo.
So the rays of the setting Sun and the Zhao Luo standing in between them while wearing the Robe of Hunger to multiply his beautiful persona it was st a candy to his eyes.
I am just lucky to have such good companions.
Zhao Luo didn’t have any other words to answer Brother Sang. He was just happy to have found such good people in a short amount of time.
Only a good person will attract good company. Rather we should thank you.
Brother Sang said to Zhao Luo.
Yan who was watching their weird exchange was on the verge of crying. His eyes were wet as the bromance between Zhao Luo and Brother Sang was getting intense with each passing minute. This he decided to intervene.
Indeed Brother Luo is an amazing person.
Yan interrupted as he praised Zhao Luo. Now even Yan was calling Zhao Luo as Brother.
Thank you.
Zhao Luo showed a palm-fist salute to Yan.
You aren’t any less amazing than me. Getting two of Elder Bo’s robes can’t be done by a regular person.
Zhao Luo said with a smile as he could already sense that something was going on between Yan and Elder Bo.
Yan first smiled as he heard what Zhao Luo was saying but then he remembered the strange exchange with Zhao Luo where he had unknowingly said something to Zhao Luo.
‘I like it.’
He remembered it and he felt embarrassed as redness enveloped his white cheeks.
‘I didn’t know that his relationship with the Elder was so serious that he would start blushing. Elder Bo can’t be…..No Way!’
Zhao Luo thought as he could see the changes in Yan’s expression.
He even brought Elder Bo’s preferences in question.
‘Ouch.’
Zhao Luo felt the robe tightened as if the robe could hear Zhao Luo’s thoughts against his master.
‘He couldn’t be interested in girly guys.’
Zhao Luo thought with a serious face and only then did his robe loosened thus giving him a chance to breathe again.
We should go back to the inner area. Let’s book a room in a hotel first.
Brother Sang said to them.
Yes let’s go.
The three started walking back towards the inner city.
On the way Zhao Luo Brother Sang and Yan kept on talking about different things.
It started from food.
What is your favorite food?
Yan asked while looking at Zhao Luo.
He wanted to know about this as he started imagining things like cooking for Zhao Luo and being alone with him.
‘How nice it would be.’
Yan was staring at Zhao Luo waiting for his answer while different scenarios were going this head of his.
Brother Sang who was also interested in this question thought that maybe he knew what his brother liked the most.
It must be the ramen he ate in my house.
Brother Sang said with a serious tone. It was like he couldn’t be wrong.
Both were looking at Zhao Luo as if waiting for him to announce the decree on his favorite food.
The ramen was indeed the best ramen I have ever had.
Zhao Luo said while holding himself back from drooling. He could still remember the texture and the taste of the ramen he had at Brother Sang’s place which was a palace.
But my favorite food is something else.
Zhao Luo said slowly as he remembered the feeling of eating it.
I can still remember the crunchiness of its surface and the tenderness of its insides. Zhao Luo looked emotional as he started explaining to them.
First it sounded weird to them. As they both had never had something tender and crunchy at the same time. But Zhao Luo had only started.
The juices that would flow out once you would bite into it. The smell of the seasoning and the flavor would just give you the best pleasure in the world. Mhmm.
Zhao Luo had water filling his mouth as he could still remember it.
Such a long time had passed since last had it yet he could still remember it so clearly.
Zhao Luo looked at the ones he was telling about it and they were in a worse condition than Zhao Luo.
His explanation was so realistic that Brother Sang and Yan looked like they would even eat Zhao Luo.
Brother what was the name of this food?
Brother Sang asked Zhao Luo as he wanted to know about it.
‘How can I still say that I am living when I have never had such a thing to eat?’
Brother Sang thought as his eyes were getting red.
Indeed please enlighten us.
Yea took it to another level as he asked Zhao Luo. He didn’t even realize that his voice had turned like a girl’s voice. His voice was the only thing that would let others differentiate between him and a girl and now because of his emotional state even it had changed.
Understandable.
Zhao Luo didn’t ponder over it as he knew how amazing the thing he was talking about is.
It…
Zhao Luo was going to tell them the name.
MHMMM Its GFC.
Zhao Luo answered them as he remembered a fried chicken in front of him. He couldn’t keep himself from drooling.
‘GFC’ were the best suppliers of fried chicken in his World. Their fried chicken was so good that just because of that they had expanded to the whole world.
GFC?
Brother Sang was the first to say as he couldn’t think of anything when he heard the name.
What’s that?
Even Yan questioned.
Its Godly Friend Chicken.
Zhao Luo answered them as they both looked shocked.
It was the ultimate food. Filled with protein and the richness of Nature. With everybite one would feel energy bursting in this body.
Both Brother Sang and Yan looked confused.
‘From shock to confusion it can only mean one thing.’
Zhao Luo thought as he continued to ask them a question.
What? You guys have never had a fried chicken.
Zhao Luo asked them.
They both nodded.
‘Well Yan never had it is still understandable but even Brother Sang never had it.’
Zhao Luo thought as Brother Sang was a person like him. He had climbed the stairs with his father. He was actually from there but he never had GFC.
‘How unlucky.’
Zhao Luo thought as he felt sad for Brother Sang.
As the question on food ended and both Brother Sang and Yan realized that they weren’t meant to cook Zhao Luo’s favorite food for him.
This realization was like a boulder to their hearts. It crushed their expectations to cook for him and made them face the reality.
‘Friend Chicken was a thing too??’
Brother Sang thought.
Yan was also thinking the same as he was looking down when he wondered that he will never be able to cook this ‘GFC’ for Zhao Luo.
‘Who would dip a chicken in oil?’
Yan questioned as he shuddered when he thought of a chicken in his head.
A cute chicken being dipped into a pot of oil.
‘How painful the boiling oil would be for the cute chicken??’
Yan had the dumbest thought anyone could ever have. But that was what further increased his enchanting beauty.
‘I will definitely make it and let them try it.’
Zhao Luo looked at them while walking.
He could see how sad they looked and this he decided that he will bring back the GFC he used to had and let them taste it too.
The topic of food ended with Zhao Luo’s ultimate decision. It moved to other things as Brother Sang and Yan had given up on their earlier thoughts.
