Chapter 102: Famous Dessert

Su Ruan watched the man beside her and blinked. She waited for him to tell her what was inside the bag or at least give her some clues. However, Long Fei remained silent.

After a brief hesitation, Su Ruan peeked inside the paper bag and pulled out a pastel pink box. Inside, there were selections of delicate desserts. Each of them looked appetizing. From the way they were presented, Su Ruan could tell that a skillful person had prepared them.

Su Ruan raised her head and shot an inquiring look at Long Fei.

"Didn't you ask me to bring back something delicious?" Long Fei explained.

It was then that Su Ruan recalled their conversation a few days ago. She had actually forgotten about the request for him to bring back something delicious.

"I didn't know what you like, but I heard that the desserts from The Orchid Hotel are considered the best," Long Fei said.

"These were from The Orchid Hotel?"

Long Fei looked at her expression and guessed that Su Ruan should have heard about the famous desserts as well. "You know about them."

"Of course." Su Ruan nodded.

She had always heard about The Orchid Hotel's pastries and cakes. Back then, Su Ruan and her friend, Lin Qing had often said that they should save money to try the cakes from the hotel. However, the two of them never get the chance to try them.

His eyes narrowed. "I guess the cakes are very famous."

"They are." Su Ruan laughed. "Isn't that why you bought them?"

Long Fei flashed her a smile. It was actually Lu Xun who had recommended the cakes to him. Although Long Fei had frequently stayed in The Orchid Hotel each time he visited Capital City, he had never tried their cakes or heard about them.

Seeing that Su Ruan continued to peek at the box of cakes with a pair of admiring gazes made him a little dumbfounded.

It was only a box of cakes. Did she have to react this way?

Still, Long Fei could not help but think that the expression on Su Ruan's face at this time was quite adorable. At this time, he was glad that he had listened to Lu Xun's recommendation.

"Are you not going to try them?" Long Fei asked.

Su Ruan tore her gaze away from the box and turned to Long Fei again. "Are you really giving this to me?"

Long Fei chuckled. "Otherwise?"

"But they are so expensive. One slice of these cakes would be enough for my three days meals. And now, there are nine of them."

Su Ruan stared at the cakes with longing. She wanted to taste them but her conscience was telling her that she could not afford to accept something as expensive as this.

His brow rose, finding that Su Ruan's reaction was amusing. He did not expect that she would be worried about the price of the cakes.

"I can still afford them."

"But I don't dare to accept them."

A soft laugh escaped him. "The owner of the hotel is someone that I am familiar with. I didn't have to pay a lot of money for them."

Su Ruan still thought that she could not accept them.

"Moreover, if you didn't eat the cakes, then I will have to throw them away."

"Ah?" Su Ruan stared at the man in shock.

"There wouldn't be anyone who wanted to eat them anyway."

Su Ruan's hand gripped the boxes a little tighter when she heard his words. Such pretty and delicate cakes. It would be a waste to throw them away. Her heart was aching just thinking about it.

It seemed that she will have no choice but to accept them.

But Su Ruan still hesitated. "Then, why don't we share?"

"It's fine. I'm not really a fan of sweet stuff."

Su Ruan pursed her lips into a thin line as she pondered over what she should do. After a while, she opened the box and the sweet smell of the cakes filled the car.

"Which one do you like best?"

A trace of helplessness appeared on his face. Long Fei peeked into the box and finally pointed to the one that did not seem overly sweet. "This one."

Su Ruan took out a slice of cake with its paper liner and brought it closer to him. However, what she did not expect was that Long Fei was going to lower his head and took a bite at the cheesecake from her hand.

His movement was too sudden, making her unable to react.

Once she finally snapped out of her trance, Su Ruan quickly lowered her head to hide her expression. A hint of a blush crept on her neck and ears. This action was too intimate and it reminded her of the last time he had put her finger in his mouth to stop the bleeding.

"It actually tasted good and not overly sweet," Long Fei commented. He was unaware of the turbulence going through Su Ruan's heart at this moment.

"Then, you eat it." Su Ruan pushed the slice of cake in her hand into his.

Long Fei was about to tell her that he did not want it anymore but noticing her red ears, he decided not to say anything.

It would be wise not to tease her too much. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him if she run away. He had finally reunited with her again after years. Long Fei did not think that he could bear to have Su Ruan leaving him again.

"Are you not going to taste them?" Long Fei asked.

"The cakes are too pretty. I feel bad to eat them."

Long Fei chuckled. He could not understand Su Ruan's thinking. She was not going to eat the cakes just because they were pretty?

"Then, you could take a photo first," Long Fei said. "If you don't eat them, the cakes a going to spoil."

Su Ruan heaved a sigh. She still think that it was a shame to eat such pretty cakes. After a while, she made up her mind and took out her phone to snap a few pictures.

There was one empty spot as the cake was eaten by Long Fei, but using some angle, the empty spot was not that noticeable.

Under Long Fei's gaze, Su Ruan finally picked up one piece of the cake. She took a bite and heaved with satisfaction. The cakes really tasted good.

A smile curled on his lips when he saw that Su Ruan seemed to enjoy the cakes. Seeing that she had finished the slice, Long Fei then asked, "Are you free tomorrow?"
