Chapter 602 - Butterflies In Their Stomachs (1/2)

London accepted the drink and took a sip. His heart was overflowed with joy. L changed so much, he thought. He never knew she could actually act friendly like this.

”You're welcome.” L drank her water and then sat next to London. ”You're a talented photographer, everything was very efficient and fast.”

”You're also a very talented model, working with you is fun,” replied London. He wasn't lying. L was talented as well. She could work 20 flawless poses in one minute.

”Thanks. I practice.” L only smiled a little.

Seeing how L look so relaxed while sitting next to him - and considering her attitude toward him had improved a lot, London finally decided to take a chance and asked her to go out. ”Do you want to have dinner with me?”

L turned to him and shrugged. ”OK, but it shouldn't be in a fancy place. I don't want to make you broke.”

Inwardly, London cheered happily. L said yes!!!

”All right. We can eat burgers by the river like you said the last time.” He smiled broadly. ”The river is only ten minutes away on a bicycle.”

He pointed to an electronic bicycle terminal at the end of the park. L pondered for a while, then finally nodded.

”I'll tell Pammy not to wait for me,” she said.

”And I will send the crew back to Luxe with the equipment and submit today's photos to Nick.”

London was thrilled because L was finally willing to have dinner with him. After saying goodbye to the crew, he pulled L's hand towards the bicycle rental. After he made the order in the application on his cellphone, he removed a bicycle from its terminal and immediately climbed onto it. London gave a signal for L to be his pillion.

The girl shook her head but complied with London's request and climbed on his pillion.

”Hold on ... I don't want you to fall,” London said with a smile. He pulled L's right hand and placed it on his waist.

L just rolled her eyes but, again, she didn't complain. She also wrapped her left arm around and hugged London's waist according to the young man's request.

It was such a beautiful day. The weather in early spring was still chilly but none of them felt the cold. London's heart was especially warm when he saw the two tiny hands wrapped around his waist.

He intentionally slowed the pace of his bicycle. He did not feel the need to arrive by the river quickly. After all, they would only eat burgers, right? Nothing urgent there.

As a result, they finally arrived by the river half an hour later. Normally, the journey would take only ten minutes. London really enjoyed the slow-ride with L's tiny hands hugging his waist and feeling her warm breath on his back.

He did not want the journey to end. But unfortunately, he could not find a longer route to go to the river.

”Ah ... we have arrived,” he said when they arrived near the river half an hour later. He parked the bicycle in the designated spot and pulled L's hand towards the burger stall. ”What burger do you want?”

L pointed at the menu and London ordered for both of them. While waiting for their burgers, L excused herself to the buy drinks and returned five minutes later with a bottle of wine and two paper cups.

”You buy the food, I buy the drink,” said the girl, holding up her wine bottle.

”Eh, no. If it's just wine. I can still afford it,” London said in amazement. ”I'm a guy, I should pay.”
