It was a four-person round table with a seat between us. After he told me to come closer, I did not object and immediately went to his side.
He pulled up his shirt, revealing his abdomen. The first thing that caught my eye was his well-defined, perfectly tanned abs.
The cut was at his lower waist, extending to the side of his abdomen. Fortunately, the wound was shallow, and nothing important was hit.
I took a sip of the tea calmly and said, Alright, all done.
He lowered his T-shirt and took a sip of tea as well.
I suddenly felt an air of awkwardness between us and quickly said, Youre covered in wounds now.
Thats to be expected. After all, they both received a level of combat training.
But you were still able to stop the two from killing members of the Zhu family, I immediately said.
We stopped them together.
The skies had turned dark with only the weak warm light above us. A hint of sweetness hit my heart as I felt myself looking forward to something happening tonight. Yet, such a feeling made me feel uneasy.
Wu Yu was particularly quiet tonight. Our gazes met a few times, but he said nothing.
The dishes finally came. I had ordered a set of Dai cuisine. The pilaf served on bamboo was placed in the center with eight other dishes surrounding it. The two of us put on plastic gloves and started eating.
Gradually, we finished half of the food. I bit into a chili pepper and felt its spiciness fill my mouth. I took off my gloves immediately and frantically looked for water. Water! Water! Water!
Wu Yu picked up the teapot and found that it was now empty. I summoned the waiter, and they quickly went to refill the teapot. While waiting for the waiter to come back, I searched frantically for something that could put out the fire in my mouth. A surprised Wu Yu sat there and asked, Is it very spicy?
I nodded my head fiercely and felt as though tears were going to come out.
His face was without a smile, and he had already placed his chopsticks down. Then out of nowhere, he got up, pressed his hand on the back of my head, and kissed me.
My breathing stopped as I felt the familiar aura inches away from me. His face was very close to mine, and his eyes were shut as he gently kissed my lips, occasionally sucking on them. After a brief moment, he let go of me and went back to his seat without looking at me.
The curtains were opened at that moment, and the waiter returned with water.
After the waiter left, I ate a mouthful of rice, which jolted me back to my senses, slowly returning me to reality. What was the meaning of that?
Wu Yu stayed silent. How could he say nothing? This punk kissed me out of nowhere and is keeping his mouth shut?
My heart was beating erratically as if there was no rhythm to it. I fell into a brief lull and said, This roast meat is nice. Give it a try.
Rather than responding to me, he got up after taking out a cigarette and said, Im going out for a smoke.
Before I had time to say anything, he had already gone out. Looking through the curtains that were gently blown by the breeze, I saw him standing there under another tent, motionless. He looked lonely and somewhat depressed.
Suddenly, my heart was overwhelmed with some sort of negative feeling. I thought to myself, Why is he going out for a smoke when hes the one that kissed me? Does he need to calm down? Is he shy or does he regret the kiss?
I decided to act as if nothing had happened to avoid losing face.
Yet, the feeling on my lips was truly something else. Then a strange thought popped into my mind, Now I can no longer act as if there is nothing between us.
He returned after a while. I had already recovered from that episode and said, I paid for the meal already, so dont even try to pay for it.
Okay.
Our eyes met briefly before he and I both quickly looked away.
Shall I send you home?
Sure, I replied.
