Gu Yixuan glanced at her nonchalantly, "We’ve even kissed, are we really afraid of sharing a straw?"
Other customers were seated around them, and although Gu Yixuan’s voice wasn’t loud, they all heard him.
Many turned their heads to look at them, some even revealing meaningful smiles.
Mo Ran, with her thin skin, immediately blushed to her ears. She pulled Gu Yixuan up, paid the bill, and left there in a hurry.
It was so embarrassing!
In contrast, Gu Yixuan appeared quite natural, even leisurely, which made Mo Ran feel his skin was really thick.
"What else shall we eat?" Gu Yixuan asked.
"Let’s have steamed dumplings; they’re not spicy." She didn’t want him to eat anything she had already bitten into again.
They bought a basket of steamed dumplings, skewered them with toothpicks, and ate while walking.
After swallowing a dumpling, Gu Yixuan asked her, "Do you come here often to hang out?"
"Yes. Here, you can eat delicious food, have fun, and spend the least amount of money." Before, she and Mo Yan would often come here, but they hadn’t since Mo Yan started working at ’Night Charm’.
Gu Yixuan nodded, "Next time you want to come, just tell me, and we can come together."
"Don’t you dis place?" Mo Ran asked in surprise.
"Actually, it’s not bad." Gu Yixuan noticed someone selling cotton candy and pulled Mo Ran over.
"One skewer, please," he told the vendor. After the vendor made one and Gu Yixuan paid, he handed the white cotton candy to Mo Ran.
"Here, take it," he said with a smile, his eyes crinkling in what seemed to be affection.
Mo Ran was slightly taken aback, hardly believing he would buy her cotton candy.
Reaching out to take it, she smiled faintly, "Thanks."
The cotton candy looked tempting. Mo Ran bit into it, and it melted in her mouth instantly, leaving a sweet taste all around.
"Does it taste good?" Gu Yixuan watched her, asking.
"Mhm," Mo Ran nodded, a hint of contentment in her eyes. She bit another piece, the large cotton candy almost overwhelming her small face.
From Gu Yixuan’s perspective, it was as if her face was hidden in a fluffy white cloud. Dim and hazy, there was a mysterious sense of blurriness.
A flicker of emotion stirred in him; he leaned in slightly...
Mo Ran’s movement abruptly halted as she looked up with wide eyes into a pair of starry orbs so close they were almost within reach. Only a bunch of cotton candy was between them, and through the strands of white silk, they could see their own reflections in each other’s eyes.
