Chapter 179 - Picnic & Sweet Moments (1/2)
After driving for an hour, Ye Jie eventually parked the car and Xu Mey with her grumbling stomach looked around in incredulity.
What laid before her eyes was a bright sunny sky and a park right beside the river. She could hear the giggles of kids and chatter from around. When she looked at Ye Jie, he beamed in return and extracted out a picnic basket along with a blanket from the car and took Xu Mey's hand in his own before entering the park.
Because it was weekend, plenty of families were in the park making it a bit crowded that's why Ye Jie walked a while with Xu Mey and finally chose a more secluded space under the shades of green trees.
He laid out the blanket on the grass and one-by-one took out the food that he had packed himself. Since Xu Mey was made to stand on a side she couldn't help Ye Jie at all. But seeing the container of Kimpab (Korean Rice Rolls) and Mandoo (Korean Dumplings), Xu Mey's stomach roared brazenly. The sound even attracted Ye Jie's attention and when he turned to look at Xu Mey, she lowered her face in shame making him chuckle.
Then Ye Jie set a container of fresh spring rolls and moon cake making Xu Mey literally drool at the side. After setting up everything, Ye Jie beckoned her to sit down beside him.
She was about to pick up Kimbap when Ye Jie lightly tapped on her hand and shook his head at her. He took out a sanitizing wipe and holding her hand in his, he helped her in cleaning her hands. This simple gesture touched the deepest part of Xu Mey's heart who looked at Ye Jie with starry eyes.
After helping her clean her hands, Ye Jie picked up a Kimbap and feed her with his own hands.
On the other hand, Wu Wang brought Azalea and Ye Jun to the same location for a picnic and while they were looking for a perfect spot to sit, Azalea's eyes caught Ye Jie and Xu Mey.
"Oh, I thought they'd be too busy to even come out today," She muttered to herself before shrugging her shoulders. "Oh, well, I should go to say hi."
Before she could skip towards them both Wu Wang and Ye Jun held her back saying, "Are you that eager to eat dog food?" Azalea frowned at Ye Jun's statement. "Look at them." He pointed at Ye Jie and Xu Mey with his chin and Azalea curiously turned but instantly froze.
At that time, Ye Jie was wiping Xu Mey's hand and feeding her himself. Both of them seemed to be immersed in each other so deeply that the entire world was non-existent for them.
"Gosh! Why do I suddenly feel full?" Azalea remarked with her gaze still stuck on them.
"I think that's enough dog food for you. Let's find another spot!" Ye Jun suggested and the three of them didn't bother Xu Mey and Ye Jie at all.
Meanwhile, after eating to her fill, Xu Mey glanced at Ye Jie who had a pensive look while looking at her long untied hair. "What's wrong?" Xu Mey asked while clearing up the blanket.
Ye Jie didn't speak and came behind Xu Mey. He held her hair in his own and combed them with his fingers. After that, he started braiding her hair. "What are you doing?" Xu Mey questioned.
