Chapter 82: Watermelon

In the end, Long Fei went back with Su Ruan and her grandpa to their house.

Ma Hao Dong invited him in and asked his wife to prepare some snacks for this guest. He recalled that his friend had dropped over earlier with a few watermelons and took out the watermelon from the well.

Su Ruan stared at the red watermelon in Long Fei's hand and swallowed. She wanted to take one piece of that watermelon but the plate was too far away from her. Moreover, her grandpa was chatting with Long Fei and she did not want to disturb them.

As if sensing her gaze, Long Fei raised his head in time to meet her gaze. However, before he could understand the look in her eyes, Su Ruan had already looked away.

Long Fei spent almost an hour at the house with Su Ruan's grandma constantly bringing over something for him to eat.

When it was finally time for him to leave, Ma Hao Dong was worried that Long Fei will have to walk all the way to the residence and had offered to send him back.

Surprisingly, Long Fei had already called his cousin and the man was waiting for him outside.

Su Ruan was finally going to take a piece of the watermelon when her grandpa called her name. "Su Ruan, go and send him out."

She eyed the watermelon with a heavy heart and walked with Long Fei to the car that was parked outside the house.

The window rolled down and Long Yu Heng waved his hand at Su Ruan. Sensing Long Fei's gaze, he quickly looked upfront and tried his best to minimize his presence as he waited for Long Fei to say a few words to Su Ruan.

"Miss Su, I will come over and pick you up this Saturday," Long Fei said.

Su Ruan's mind went blank and she was staring at Long Fei as if she could not understand his words. At this time, she was still thinking that she wanted to go in quickly and eat the watermelon.

Long Fei raised a brow upon noticing the look on Su Ruan's face. "Don't tell me that you don't remember our date?"

Her eyes widened. Su Ruan suddenly recalled that she had made an appointment with Long Fei. A few seconds later, she began to feel that there was something wrong with Long Fei's words…

What date?

They arranged to have a meal together, but that could not be considered a date, right?

"I remember."

"Then, I'll come over and pick you up before lunch, alright?" Long Fei smiled as he saw her staring back at him as if she had something to say to him. "Then, I will text you later."

Su Ruan watched as Long Fei entered the car and waved his hand as he leave.

A long sigh escaped her when she could no longer see the car.

To think that she had a lunch appointment with Long Fei in a few days… Su Ruan did not think that she was ready for it.

A few months ago, she was still collecting information about him so that she could interview him. Who would know that after she returned to this town, she would have many chances to interact with Long Fei?

Su Ruan went back into the house and noticed that the bowl of watermelon was no longer there. She turned to her grandpa who was sitting around the dining table and saw that he was eating the last piece of watermelon.

Her heart sunk and Su Ruan could not hide her disappointment.

...

Su Ruan head back to her room after dinner and switched on her laptop.

She checked her e-mail and found the e-mail from Editor Ji Fan Yin's friend. Su Ruan read the requirement carefully and found that it was indeed something that she can work with.

These days, she would often spend her time doing nothing other than following other people around the orchard. It would be better if she could find something that she can work with and gain some income from it.

A knocking sound came from the door as Su Ruan was busy writing back an email to editor Ji Fan Yin's friend.

Su Ruan opened the door and saw her mother in front of her. In her hand was a plate of watermelon.

"It's good that you haven't slept yet," Ma Zheng Zheng smiled. "I remember you eying that plate of watermelon earlier and told your grandma to hide some for you. You haven't tasted it yet, right?"

Her eyes widened. Su Ruan looked at her mother shyly. She did not expect that her mother would notice that she was eying that plate of watermelon earlier "Mom!"

Ma Zheng Zheng could only laugh at her daughter's reaction. "Alright, alright. Go ahead and eat your watermelon." She peeked into the room and saw that Su Ruan's laptop was on. "Don't sleep too late."

"Un. I know." Su Ruan took the plate from her mother and gave her a half hug. "Thanks, mom."

After saying her goodnight to her mother, Su Ruan turned to her room and placed the plate of watermelon on her table. She took a piece of it and sighed happily as the sweetness of the watermelon filled her mouth.

She walked over to the window and decided that this watermelon would be best to eat while enjoying the night's scenery.

It was then that she noticed a slight movement on her left. Su Ruan turned and saw the tiny dragon hanging on the wall, looking at her.

The two of them were looking at each other for a few seconds longer. "Little Dragon?"

The bluish-purple creature crawled over and slithered on Su Ruan's hand.

It was then that Su Ruan snapped out of her trance. She peeked outside the window and heaved in relief when she could not see anyone around.

Quickly, she shut the window and brought the dragon to the table. She put him down and eyed him. "I haven't seen you for a while. Where have you been?"

The dragon blinked and Su Ruan realized that she was a fool to ask this question to this creature. However, seeing that the dragon was without injury, Su Ruan was finally at ease.

She was worried that he was injured and that was why he had not shown up for days.

What Su Ruan did not know was that this tiny dragon often hang around outside her window without her realizing anything.

Long Fei walked over to her laptop and looked at her email. His eyes narrowed, noticing that she was applying to write freelance for a certain magazine.

"What are you looking at?" Su Ruan followed his gaze and watched as he looked away.

Long Fei's gaze fell on the plate of watermelon. After standing around for a while, he decided to take a bite at the fruit.

"Hey! That's mine!"

The dragon looked at Su Ruan and blinked. Then, he continued to eat his portion.

"You are really strange." Su Ruan chuckled. "Can a dragon eat watermelon?" She watched as he ate one piece and carried him away from the plate. "You are accompanying me tonight, right?"

Long Fei swallowed the remaining food in his mouth.. Fortunately, he was in his dragon form and Su Ruan could not see how his face had turned red.
