Rong Si’s hair and white shirt were gilded with a faint halo. He looked as handsome as if he had just stepped out of a painting.
Su Jiu was stunned again, and her heart raced. When she regained her senses, she jogged toward him and happily called out, “Rong Si!”
Rong Si turned at the sound of her voice.
The girl ran toward him against the afterglow, her smile as sweet as ice cream.
Rong Si couldn’t help but smile and open his arms to her naturally. Su Jiu plunged into his arms and melted against his chest, greedily breathing in his scent.
He was back. The longing that had built up in her heart was finally released.
Rong Si hugged her back and buried his face in her hair, breathing her in just as greedily.
Su Jiu’s heart, which had been empty since she had come back after meeting him, was now filled to the brim.
After a while, Su Jiu looked up from his arms and sniffed, her eyes wet. “Big Brother, why are you back so suddenly?”
Rong Si intently looked down at her. “I submitted a research report two days ago. The professor asked me to take a break, so I came back.”
Seeing the pale markings under his eyes, Su Jiu could tell that the little villain had not rested well these days. Her heart ached. “It’s been hard, hasn’t it?”
“Not at all.” Even if it had been, all the exhaustion had vanished the moment he had seen her.
Rong Si reached out and smoothed Su Jiu’s slightly tousled hair. “You must be hungry. What do you want to eat tonight?”
“What do you think?” Su Jiu took his arm affectionately.
Rong Si’s smile deepened when he saw her hand on his arm. “I’ll do as you say.”
Ow, the little villain’s voice is too gentle. Doesn’t he know that’s against the rules!
Su Jiu blushed. “Then… shall we have Western food? There’s a new French restaurant nearby. I heard it’s not bad. Why don’t we go try it?”
“Okay.”
The French restaurant near the school was simple but luxurious. The restaurant was filled with melodious and soothing music. Many couples were eating there.
A waiter led Su Jiu and Rong Si to a window seat and handed them the menu.
Rong Si, in turn, handed the menu to Su Jiu and gestured for her to order.
Su Jiu did not wait. She flipped through the thick menu and ordered five or six dishes.
The waiter took a pen and wrote the dishes down on the list before turning to Rong Si, who was sitting opposite Su Jiu. “What about you, sir? What would you like?”
“No need.” Rong Si then looked at her curiously. “Can you finish all these dishes?”
Su Jiu smiled slyly. “If I can’t finish it, I still have you, right? Big Brother.”
Her soft voice called him big brother. Rong Si’s eyes darkened.
He wanted to do something but could only restrain himself for the moment.
The food in this restaurant was indeed good. Moreover, her boyfriend was sitting opposite her. Su Jiu’s appetite was so good that she ate heartily.
Without realizing it, she had eaten a lot.
When it was time to pay, Su Jiu instinctively took out her card. However, Rong Si stopped her and took out his phone to pay. “I’ll pay for everything from now on.”
Su Jiu felt that a meal like this was not cheap. She would feel bad if she had to make the little villain pay every time.
“Big Brother, it’s fine. Can’t we each pay once?”
“No,” Rong Si repeated firmly. “From now on, I’ll pay for everything.”
