Chapter 152: A Couple
The man’s looks matched his body perfectly. The laidback and nonchalant aura complemented his noble presence.
He did not fit in with the noisy street at all.
Before this, Ning Li could never have ever imagined having lunch with Lu Huaiyu in such a place.
The beef noodles were served.
Lu Huaiyu took a pair of wooden chopsticks and rubbed the little splinters away before handing them over to Ning Li.
Ning Li paused for a second before accepting the chopsticks.
"Thank you."
Lu Huaiyu washed the cups with the hot water provided, then filled the cup with water before giving it to her.
He did everything smoothly as if it was something he did all the time.
Ning Li looked at him.
His eyes were focused on the cups and bowls. His black hair draped softly across his forehead, covering his eyebrows.
His eyelashes were long, so long that they cast shadows under his eyelids.
He was a proud man, but also had the genuine temperament of a gentleman.
A thought entered her mind.
Lu Huaiyu could win hearts easily with the slightest show of kindness. There was nothing that he was not able to get in this world.
Ning Li brushed her thoughts aside and ate her noodles.
…
After lunch, Lu Huaiyu paid the bill before they left the place.
Ning Li asked, "Second brother, are you going back now?"
Lu Huaiyu stood at the entrance and looked around.
"I’m not in a hurry. You still have an hour until your next class, am I right?"
He then pointed towards a particular direction.
"Do you wanna have ice cream?"
Ning Li looked in the direction that he pointed.
"I’m fine. Did you want some?"
Lu Huaiyu grinned.
"I saw that you posted it on your social media the other day and it looked nice."
Ning Li thought of the post that He Xiaochen had posted.
‘Dear Ning Li…’
Her heart raced uncontrollably.
She had been overthinking since last night. If this continued, things would go out of hand fast.
It was just ice cream. Since Lu Huaiyu had come all the way here to the food street, the least she could do was accompany him to get one.
She searched her pockets and said, "Let me buy you one."
Lu Huaiyu was slightly surprised. He went silent for a moment before he smiled.
"Okay."
…
The dessert shop’s decor was cute. The place had been designed with a warm color tone. It was not big by any means, only three tables had been set up for dine-ins. Accompanying the tables were several cute and cartoonish chairs.
Many of the students had already returned to school after lunch, so the shop was not that crowded.
Only two out of three tables had customers.
Ning Li asked, "Second brother, which flavor do you want?"
Lu Huaiyu scanned through the menu.
"The original flavor."
Ning Li nodded. "Hi, I would like one original and one mango."
The ice-creams were served after a minute.
Ning Li handed the original flavor to Lu Huaiyu.
As Lu Huaiyu took the ice cream from her, he accidentally touched her hand.
It was so electrical that it somehow made her fingers feel numb.
She looked over at Lu Huaiyu but he was looking at an empty table.
"Let’s go sit down."
Ning Li held the ice cream with her other hand and put her slightly numb one in her pocket.
She followed Lu Huaiyu inside.
