Chapter 296 - Creating Opportunity (2/2)

So, he just... sold himself for a picnic?

”Why are you still standing up there? Come here.” Song Xuantin gestured Gu Zhen to sit again. ”Since we walked a long way, I'm already famished. I'm sure you are, too. Let's eat first.”

Gu Zhen followed her blankly.

Song Xuantin handed him the juice and the sandwich like a caring wife.

”After we're done eating, you have to tell me again what you said a while ago,” Song Xuantin giggled as she took a bite from the sandwich, her eyes filled with starlights gazing at him.

”...” Gu Zhen.

He really was played! He could bet a hundred bucks that this girl was doing it on purpose! She must be retaliating for his 'scam' earlier.

And she did not even answer back to his earlier confession...

He took a bite on the sandwich but he did not taste its deliciousness. All he tasted was bitterness.

Karma was truly a bitch.

*****

Xiong Zhi and Linfeng stuffed themselves until they both had bloated stomachs.

Who would have thought that the dishes in that humble and low-key restaurant was so delicious and fulfilling? No wonder foodies paid homage to this place from all over the country.

With the fact that they were eating with each other's company, they ate more than usual.

To digest the food, the pair oozing with sweetness decided to take a walk silently. They did not need to look for a topic they could discuss. To them, being together was already the biggest gift. Just by walking side by side, with their steps echoing together, the rustle of leaves moving with the wind... It was already a soothing melody for the both of them.

It was a comfortable silence that they missed for a month.

Suddenly, Xiong Zhi spoke in a low voice.

”Linfeng.”

”Yes?” Linfeng had a smile on his face when he answered. He just had a satisfying meal with his lovely Young Miss, the apple of his heart. How could he not smile?

”Let's play a game.”

Linfeng's eyes lit up. Anything his Young Miss wished for was his command.

”Sure. What kind of game do you want to play?”

”Q and A,” Xiong Zhi answered directly.

Linfeng: ”...”

Was that even a game? But since his Young Miss said it was, then it was.

”Alright,” he good-naturedly agreed. ”Can you please do the honor of setting the rules?”

”Hmm. The Q player will ask a question to player A, while player A answers. If player A can't answer player Q's question, then player A needs to do the punishment that player Q will set before the question. Is it clear?”

Linfeng nodded. That was interesting. His mind already had a line of questions for his Young Miss.

Xiong Zhi's eyes sparkled. This game was actually an excuse to create an ambiguous atmosphere with Linfeng. And then... fufufu.

The book had been reliable so far, if not for sudden pests popping up. It would certainly work this time!
