Luckily they booked a restaurant private room; otherwise, the two of them, single as they were, would have stood out awkwardly among the couples.
Earlier, when Su Li and Feng Huaijin ca in, they walked through the restaurant hall and saw a bunch of young couples sweetly feeding each other.
Su Li couldn’t dare to imagine how it would look if she and Feng Huaijin were in such a scene.
The restaurant seed to be in sync with Valentine’s Day; both the hall and private rooms were warmly decorated and filled with romantic ambiance, the lighting was soft yet warm.
Su Li sat down across from Feng Huaijin, and a thin layer of sweat began to form in her palms. She felt a bit embarrassed and annoyed as she secretly thought to herself that having dinner with Feng Huaijin had never felt this awkward before.
"Order, order food?" Su Li looked at Feng Huaijin’s gentle contours under the candlelight, and asked hesitantly, almost stuttering from nervousness.
Feng Huaijin’s face remained calm, revealing no emotion; he clasped his long fingers together and said, "Let’s not order just yet."
"Don’t you need to use the restroom?" Feng Huaijin then asked in a neutral tone.
Huh? Go to the restroom?
Su Li looked at him, puzzled, and had to explain, "I used the restroom before I left ho, no need to go... okay, I’ll go..."
While explaining, Su Li noticed the darkening in Feng Huaijin’s eyes, so she quickly changed her answer, agreeing to go to the restroom, but she happened to forget her phone on the table.
Su Li headed toward the restroom, while Feng Huaijin imdiately took out his phone to look at the pre-written notes on it.
The phone’s WeChat group kept buzzing with ssages.
[Xiao Heng: Co on, everyone, let’s bet and guess if our Brother Qi will be single by tonight! Press 1 if yes, press 2 if not.]
[Xiao Heng: 2.]
[Mu Qingi: Good luck Brother Qi, 1.]
[Zhao Cheng: 2.]
...
Apart from Mu Qingi, almost everyone else in the WeChat group pressed "2". Feng Huaijin looked at the screen filled with "2s", and a vein on his forehead throbbed.
Feng Huaijin’s cold smile slowly deepened — wonderful.
Wouldn’t Xiao Heng, his cousin, only dare to act up because he wasn’t in front of him? Did he think he couldn’t reach him through the phone screen?
Feng Huaijin made a note of Xiao Heng’s na and focused on reviewing the previously prepared notes.
Feng Huaijin picked up the glass of water beside him and took a heavy swig.
What does "legitimate" an?
Tonight he would let everyone know what "legitimate" really ant!
The private room was very quiet, and Feng Huaijin’s focused gaze on his phone was so serious that one might mistake him for attending an important eting.
Just then, a faint sound drifted into his ear, and Feng Huaijin paused, becoming instantly alert.
How could there be a sound in the private room?
He stood up and glanced at the door, where a child, curled up like a little ball on the floor, was lying. The child’s clothes seed to have been torn by branches, looking very ragged, and there was a faint sound of shallow breathing.
Feng Huaijin’s body stiffened, his pupils suddenly contracted, glaring at Tuanzi at the entrance.
Feng Huaijin: "..."
It’s that little rascal again...
He’s back!
Suddenly, Feng Huaijin felt like he hadn’t checked the calendar for good luck before stepping out.
Feng Huaijin began to understand why Xiao Heng and the gang all pressed 2 in the group...
This was like a bomb falling from the sky, about to explode, and it was now in the countdown phase.
This intruder had co to ruin his plan.
Feng Huaijin abruptly stood up and walked toward the child at the door.
