The urge to leave was there.
After all, it was about others’ rtionships.
The rest felt it was inappropriate to impede, they of course couldn’t hold them back anyway.
So, they watched as Lu Yinchu took Nanxi by the hand and walked out of the room.
In the corridor, Han Shaojing and Guan La walked shoulder to shoulder.
Seeing Lu Yinchu and Nanxi, they both paused.
Guan La asked, “Leaving already?”
Lu Yinchu simply nodded, seemingly not nning to exin any further.
When Guan La looked at Nanxi, her eyes shimmered slightly.
Saying that she felt a profound sense of loss at this moment would be an understatement!
After all, the man standing before her was someone for whom she too had once considered going through thick and thin to pursue.
But seeing this man now with another woman stirredplex emotions within her, all but jealousy.
What is there to be jealous of?
This man, hardened by life’s hardships, loved and adored by many women, yet still able to protect the core of his heart, stubborn, causing others to ache, and yet his solitude invoking helplessness.
And now, he had received what he had long hoped for, attained aplete love.
She should offer blessings!
Stepping forward, she took Nanxi’s hand with a sincere smile, “Let’s grab dinner together sometime.
It’s on me!”
Nanxi nodded, “Okay!”
…
At the entrance, Mo Yan had already arranged for a car.
Checking his wristwatch, Lu Yinchu offered lightly to Nanxi, “It’s still early.
How about walking for a bit?
I’ll drop you off at ten!”
Ten o’clock, merely twenty minutes away, was there really any difference?!
They strolled down the road hand-in-hand, at a leisurely pace.
Her palm, however, was burning hot, slightly sweaty from anxiety; she was indeed nervous!
On such a cool evening, would their myriad thoughts be able to oust time’s ceaseless flow?
Nanxi didn’t know.
As they passed by a street food stall, they stopped.
It was a simple tofu pudding stall.
Lu Yinchu turned and asked her, “Are you hungry?”
Nanxi pursed her lips.
She wasn’t actually hungry.
Besides, it seemed incongruous for Lu Yinchu, given his status, to be eating tofu pudding here.
Curious looks were already being thrown their way.
Nanxi noticed gasps of admiration.
No wonder, Lu Yinchu was exceptionally handsome!
“Let’s sit down!”
Without responding, she hesitated.
He took the initiative, led her by the hand to a chair, and sat her down, then took a seat opposite hers.
“Boss, two bowls of tofu pudding, no spice!”
The boss was visibly taken aback.
The tofu pudding’s selling point was its spiciness.
It was unusual for someone to order it without spice, but he couldn’t refuse a customer’s request!
Two bowls of tofu pudding garnished with scallions and sweet sauce were served.
The boss chuckled, “Sorry, but we usually only serve spicy.
Thankfully, I had some sweet sauce.
Don’t mind if it tastes off!”
“No problem, thank you boss!” Lu Yinchu amiably exchanged pleasantries with the boss without skipping a beat.
Nanxi watched for a while, finding it somewhat incredible.
“What’s wrong?
What are you looking at?”
Nanxi shook her head, “Nothing, but if you were me, you’d probably feel the same way!”
“Not strange, Nanxi.
Remember I’ve told you countless times, I am just an ordinary man, if I’m not inparison with others, then I only hope I am in your eyes!”
Nanxi was stunned, taken aback and momentarily at a loss for words.
Lu Yinchu reached out and ruffled her hair, “Silly goose!”
Nanxi frowned at this, her delicate eyebrows knitting together.
Who was the silly one?
This man…
They sat in silence, finishing off their bowls of tofu pudding.
The taste was not exceptional, but the tofu was tender.
Nanxi had a small appetite and couldn’t finish hers.
Lu Yinchu took her half-full bowl over and casually ate it all…
Nanxi was watching on the side, her eyebrows furrowed, feeling a bit ufortable…
She felt like this was too intimate…
Lu Yinchu noticed her expression and chuckled, “I’ve tasted your saliva before, there’s no need to be shy!”
With that one sentence, Nanxi’s cheeks flushed red!
“What street food have you eaten before?
How much do you remember?”
Nanxi frowned.
He sure changed the topic quickly!
“Actually, there are many street foods in Hong Kong, more than in H City, but I rarely ate them when I was a child!”
Nanxi answered truthfully.
She decided not to bring up past grievances.
Lu Yinchu nodded, knowing that she was not the type to eat random things, nor particrly social.
Once, when she was with a few ssmates, everyone was buying street food except her.
He thought she had no money and was considering giving her some when her ssmate asked, “Gu Nanxi, why aren’t you buying any?
Don’t you like it?”
Nanxi shook her head,”No, it’s just that I prefer the meals my dad cooks.
He prepares lots of delicious food for me every day.
If I snack too much and don’t get hungry, I won’t be able to eat my dad’s cooking…”
Heughed when he heard that, the movement causing his wounded shoulder to hurt him.
However, he thought at that time, “what a good girl, I’ll cook for you in the future!
Whatever you want to eat, I’ll make it.”
He did have a knack for cooking.
When he was studying abroad, he cooked for himself most of the time, but mainly ate fast food to save time.
The real reason for learning to cook and developing his culinary skills was for her, Nanxi!
Even though it took eight years for her to taste his cooking, he didn’t think it was toote!
“When we get to Hong Kong tomorrow, let’s go around and eat anything you once…
wanted to try!”
He didn’t know what she liked, but he could guess!
Nanxi was stunned,”Are you really going to Hong Kong with me?” After all, he’s such a busy person!
“Yes, I can’t stand the idea of you going alone!”
“…” Nanxi was silent, slightly embarrassed.
“Don’t overthink it…” Lu Yinchu stopped her from continuing, “Nanxi, you can trust me, even though I’m a bit mad at you right now!”
Nanxi frowned.
Overthinking?
And he was mad at her?
Mad about what?
Lu Yinchu chuckled, his handsome face leaning in.
Nanxi instinctively leaned back.
His deep, maic voice came,”You know, you’re like a little goblin now, itching my heart day and night.
Nanxi, I’m about to go crazy…”
At his words, Nanxi’s cheeks turned red.
About to scold the flirtatious man, her tirade was cut short by a soft kiss.
As she was about to push him away, the man got up casually, turned to the boss and said,”Check, please!”
“…….” This damn man, Nanxi’s face was so red it looked like it could bleed…
“Let’s go!” After Lu Yinchu paid, he turned around and grabbed her hand.
Nanxi didn’t move.
She was a bit angry and thought, why should I follow him just because he said so?
She wouldn’t!
Lu Yinchu stood there watching her.
He knew she was mad about what just happened, sighed, and said,”You really aren’t leaving?”
“I’m not leaving!”
“Really not leaving?”
“Not leaving!”
“Okay!”
Nanxi thought he had backed down.
Just as she was about to look up at him, she suddenly felt a gentle arm around her waist.
At the same time as the subtle mint fragrance hit her, she was lifted off her feet by Lu Yinchu…
