Chapter 291 - 291 The Cream Beside Your Lips...
It was a little bit shocking to think that the man had already dressed himself up in such a short amount of time. His washed face appeared a bit red and looked cute.
Several couples had also come to eat a couple\'s breakfast. There was the sound of utensils clicking against each other and the low murmur of them. The interior of the place was decorated in pink and red curtains, balloons and candles, making the place very ideal for young lovers.
Sometimes people could even hear these charming ladies giggling. Luo Lixi had appeared here with Kong Pipi and it made the atmosphere a little awkward.
After all, it\'s a couple\'s restaurant and coming together with a female rather than a male caused many people to break out in a heated discussion.
Thanks to the internet and social media, people\'s thoughts had become very twisted and they would speculate many wild ideas just from anything.
"You go ahead. I will sit somewhere." Kong Pipi gave a hollow laugh and walked away hurriedly. As soon as she sat down at an empty table, Kong Pipi sighed in awkwardness and laughed wryly.
Under the eyes of many people, Luo Lixi walked slowly toward the table where Leng Zichun was waiting and calmly sat down in front of the man who started smiling but looking at his complexion, she felt a bit irritated.
"I didn\'t think before that we could still sit like this and have breakfast together." Leng Zichun\'s eyes were bloodshot because of the lack of proper sleep but it only added to his manly charm.
Some girls even felt their hearts were flying to him and they cast Luo Lixi some hateful and envious glances.
"Zichun, even though it sounds heartless I still want to tell you… Please forgive me and forget about me."
Leng Zichun\'s face lost its liveliness as soon as she told him.
"Have you come to tell me this?! If it is the main purpose, why take the trouble?"
Even though she knew Leng Zichun was very hurt by her words, she couldn\'t stay silent.
"I am engaged to a man now and it\'s useless even if you passed your time drowning in alcohol or wasting your valuable time. Elder Leng is very worried about you. You are a grown man now. You should understand… "
while she was speaking, the waiter came, interrupted them and asked politely, "Sir and ma\'am, what will you like to have for breakfast?"
She handed them two menu books and quietly stood beside them, waiting for the orders.
"Anything is okay." Luo Lixi didn\'t even open the book to see those items and it hurt Leng Zichun\'s feelings even more.
\'I see… you can\'t wait anymore to leave as soon as possible.\' He bit his lower lip and thought in dismay. Even Luo Lixi was unaware of her emotions which were clearly written on her face.
"Anything, as long as it can be eaten." Leng Zichun also mimicked her which caused Luo Lixi to shoot him a knowing look.
The female waiter was a little bit shocked and flustered because it was the first time a couple had said something like this.
"Are you sure?" She asked again.
"Yes." Luo Lixi nodded.
Even though the waiter felt a bit weird, she lived up to her job and with a professional smile and quietly moved away. Before going away, she gave them another glance.
Even she felt the atmosphere around the table wasn\'t right.
Then, Leng Zichun focused on the woman in front of him who was distracted, "Hey, if you have come to give me a lecture, then you can go back. I know what I am doing."
"No. You don\'t understand." Under his eyes, she became restless.
Luo Lixi didn\'t want other people to suffer, on top of that if it\'s related to her, she couldn\'t watch in silence.
After all, she knew that feeling when one loves one but couldn\'t get that person. Only those who underwent would understand. The pain and depression were too much to handle that even sleeping pills couldn\'t help.
"Lixi, it\'s okay. You can go back. I know what kind of grandfather I have. Some days later, I will go to my parent\'s home and stay with them. You don\'t need to worry for me." The man\'s voice sounded very sad as he nodded while his eyes stared at her face. But Luo Lixi was helpless as she looked down on the vase which had two crimson roses.
"I don\'t know how to… " \'console you.\' Luo Lixi pursed her lips and remained unmoved. Her hands clenched tightly.
"It\'s alright." Leng Zichun gave a hearty smile but only she knew that his eyes were filled with sadness. "Perhaps, if I had told you about my feelings before, I would have gotten a chance with you, right?"
"Ah… " Luo Lixi didn\'t want to say anything anymore. \'Should I tell the truth?\' Her eyes noticed the expectant look of the other person. After several seconds, she gently shook her head.
Watching it, Leng Zichun sighed in regret, "How unfortunate!"
It\'s a couple\'s restaurant and Luo Lixi felt like she was cheating when the man who was sitting across her wasn\'t her fiance but another man who had a crush on her.
"Then, I will be leaving first. Remember to go back. Don\'t stay here anymore." Luo Lixi stood up and turned around to leave in a hurry but her hand was grabbed by Leng Zichun.
The man stood up and caught her hand in a reflex. Kong Pipi\'s mouth went \'O\' as she saw the scene with great interest.
"Go after a while. Spend the morning with me, please? You can at least spare this much time for your friend, right?" Leng Zichun ignored her hesitation. He went around and forced her to sit down. Then he turned around and waved towards Kong Pipi.
"Pipi, come. Join us." Hearing the commotion in this area, some people stopped eating and placed their eyes on them.
["Do they even know it\'s a couples\' restaurant?! Why is that man shouting another woman to join?!"
"Don\'t know. Today\'s society is filled with messy people"...]
Kong Pipi violently shook her head and faced away. \'Are you kidding me?! Who would do that?! Who wants to join them! It\'s only a trap!\' She put the straw in her lips and dragged a long sip of her chocolate milkshake. She even put a big fat strawberry on her lips and bit down on it hard.
Witnessing this scene, many people\'s throats went dry as they drank a mouthful of water...
Kong Pipi felt that the man had forgotten what kind of place that was. \'I\'m happy being alone here. Huhu~\'
Right then, the waiter came and placed one plate on the table, right before Luo Lixi.
Because it was a couple\'s restaurant, two servings of food were given on one plate. So that lovers could share their food. It\'s like another kind of intimacy.
After all, there is a saying, "Share is care."
Luo Lixi lifted her eyes and saw the pastry she loved very much. Her inquiring eyes examined the man across her. Leng Zichun chuckled deeply and moved it towards her, "All for you. You can start after you finish it."
"No. You need this more than me…" Her hand moved the plate towards him. "After all, your tummy is empty."
"No. You go ahead." Leng Zichun moved it towards Luo Lixi. The waiter who wanted to ask if they needed something else, quietly retracted watching this scene. She didn\'t want to be a lightbulb. It was already too much for a single woman to work in this place and got shot with thousands of arrows every day.
Right then, Luo Lixi\'s little tummy growled in hunger. She pursed her lips tightly and pinched her belly with anger. \'Eat or not to eat… might as well eat. After all, he is no stranger to me.\'
So she didn\'t hold back and remain polite anymore. With her right hand, she used the fork and pierced down a little strawberry with a lot of whipped cream. As her eyes eyed the red thing, her lips got slightly watery.
Last night, Luo Lixi wasn\'t able to have anything and currently her belly was empty like a dried-up lake. Thus she decided to finish before she left.
Leng Zichun saw her eating like a hamster with gentle eyes. He even conveniently passed her a tissue.
"There is cream beside your lips… " Leng Zichun raised his fingers to touch her face to wipe the cream but she avoided his touch.
Luo Lixi\'s head was filled with those mushy mushy scenes she had seen in dramas before. The scene where male leads wiped the lips of female leads and then… erotically placed those fingers in mouth. Too much information...
"Thanks… " Luo Lixi gulped down her sweet cake and accepted the tissue. Then slowly she wiped her stained lips while avoiding the other party.
