In the blink of an eye, it was time for school to end. The food street was crowded and noisy. Xu Yuanfei lowered her head and drank her bubble tea while pretending to look at the person opposite her casually.

The military colors made him look clear and noble. He leaned against his chair and tilted his head to look elsewhere, seemingly out of place in this place.

“Thank you for today.” Xu Yuanfei pretended to clear her throat. “He’s my dad’s friend’s son. My dad has always wanted us to meet, so I had no choice.”

“Is your family very anxious about you finding a partner?” Jing Hanchuan looked at her.

Actually, the Jing family was also anxious. But they had no choice. No one dared to accept a blind date with him.

“It’s alright. It’s mainly because my dad likes intellectuals. That person graduated with a PhD, so he had no resistance and has always wanted me to meet him.” Xu Yuanfei shrugged helplessly.

Jing Hanchuan understood. A dark glint flashed across his eyes, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

Xu Yuanfei was afraid that Jing Hanchuan would misunderstand and wanted to explain something to him, but she was worried that it wouldn’t be appropriate to say too much. After all, the two of them hadn’t reached that stage yet. When she thought of her bold actions that day, her heart started pounding, and she felt hot and dry…

She was distraught from the pounding, and her face flushed unconsciously. She didn’t even notice the milk stain on the corner of her mouth.

Jing Hanchuan tilted his head to look at her. His gaze landed on the white stain at the corner of her lips. She licked her lips, but she didn’t lick that part…

It was inexplicable.

He pursed his lips. His throat was dry and itchy, and a sense of thirst and hunger arose for no reason.

The table between the two of them wasn’t big. Just as Xu Yuanfei was in a daze, Jing Hanchuan suddenly stood up, bent over, and leaned toward her…

Xu Yuanfei felt a black shadow approaching. When she looked up and saw Jing Hanchuan, her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously wanted to dodge.

“Don’t move!”

His voice was pleasant to the ear, and his pronunciation was perfect with a hint of a Beijing accent.

Xu Yuanfei sat in a daze and watched as his beautiful and slender fingers reached over and landed on her lips. It was like a feather brushing past, and his fingers gently brushed past her upper lip…

Her breathing stagnated, and her heart raced. The surroundings were lively and noisy, but there was only room for him in her heart and eyes.

Her heart was pounding violently against her slender ribs, as if it was about to burst out of her chest.

When she came back to her senses, Jing Hanchuan had already returned to his seat. He pulled a tissue and wiped his fingers. “You had something on your mouth. It’s been there for a long time.”

“Thank you.” Xu Yuanfei wiped her mouth randomly. The place he touched seemed to be on fire.

It was so hot that her heart trembled.

Jing Hanchuan lowered his head and wiped his fingers. The feeling from his fingertips…

It was soft and scorching.

It made him feel even more restless.

“I’m going to the restroom.” Xu Yuanfei made an excuse to leave. She wanted to relieve the heat in her heart and check if her makeup was appropriate before settling the bill.

After she left, Jing Hanchuan looked at the untouched bubble tea in front of him. He lifted the lid and saw a thick layer of milk on it. He frowned slightly and took a sip…

White peach oolong flavor.

It was very fragrant.

The milk cream was salty, not greasy, and very smooth.

He inexplicably remembered someone telling him that falling in love was even sweeter than eating sweets…

His lips curled up slightly.

When Xu Yuan flew back, she wasn’t as nervous and anxious as before.

The two of them chatted casually. Xu Yuanfei seemed to meet acquaintances often, most of whom were students who often went to the dessert store. Everyone just greeted each other. But the little girls’ gazes kept landing on Jing Hanchuan, making her feel inexplicably upset.

“Boss, what a coincidence.” Some bold people would come over directly to talk to her.

“Are you here to eat too?” Xu Yuanfei didn’t know most of the students’ names, but they looked familiar.

“Yeah. You and your boyfriend?”

“We…”

Just as Xu Yuanfei was about to explain, the few girls went to sit farther away from them with a smile under the shop assistant’s greeting, not giving her a chance to explain.

“Sorry, these children like to joke around.” Xu Yuanfei glanced at Jing Hanchuan, afraid that he would misunderstand.

Jing Hanchuan nodded. No one could sense any emotions from him.

After eating, they left. The street lights outside had just turned on, and the two-meter-wide road was full of students. They were all young and flamboyant.

“I’m going to the store. Do you want to go there and have a seat? Or should I send you to the parking lot?”

“I’ll send you back to the store. I’ll go to the parking lot myself.” Jing Hanchuan walked beside her. With his height, he always stood out a little.
