Chapter 98 "Because I want to pursue you".
——
The hotel's fifth floor houses a 24-hour buffet restaurant with a wide variety of dishes to satisfy most people's diverse palates.
Although it was late at night, it was not deserted.
"Don't move, I'll do it."
"Please sit down. Tell me what you'd like to eat, and I'll get it for you."
"How could we let our young master Xie do it himself?"
Xie Lin's outstretched hand hovered in mid-air, a strange light flashing in his eyes. He raised an eyebrow, a playful smile curving his lips.
What's going on now?
Si Yue naturally began to put her pursuit plan into action.
The first step is to let the other person feel your thoughtfulness.
Seeing Xie Lin's surprised expression, she nodded to herself.
The plan is effective.
Si Yue walked in front of him with a tray in her hand, her little face all smiles, but to Xie Lin, it looked very fake.
He followed behind her, not understanding what she was up to, but he did as she asked.
"Want some sushi?"
1.
"Wasabi butter freshwater prawns?"
"take."
"How about some sashimi?"
0.
Si Yue let out a soft "Aww," silently memorizing it in her heart.
It seems this guy doesn't like living things.
Si Yue asked questions as she walked, and Xie Lin answered them all.
As he passed the tray, he casually picked one up, put a few dishes on it, then gestured with his chin towards her and said in a low voice, "That's enough. It's not good to overeat tonight."
Si Yue glanced at it and nodded: "That's true."
She has a normal appetite, but the portions at these buffets are usually small. Although they look like a lot, there isn't actually much.
There's absolutely no need to worry about wasting it.
After all, how small could Xie Lin's appetite be, being a grown man?
Surely he couldn't possibly eat less than her, right?
If that's the case, then she'll have to wonder how Xie Lin got so tall.
She glanced at the tray in Xie Lin's hand and exclaimed "Huh?"
"Are these all your favorite foods?"
How come our tastes are so similar?
They were all things she liked.
Xie Lin glanced at her and gave a faint "hmm".
Si Yue was quite pleased; this was wonderful.
From now on, she won't have to worry about what to do when she brings food to Xie Lin.
The man walking in front of her caught a glimpse of her happy expression out of the corner of his eye, and a faint smile flickered in his eyes.
This idiot, trying to please his goddess, completely disregarded himself, picking out all the things he liked to eat.
He's not that bad, and besides, he wouldn't want to.
It's no wonder Xie Lin thought that way, since apart from that reason, he really couldn't think of anything about himself that she would want.
The two casually found a place to sit down, eating and chatting, and seemed to be enjoying a peaceful moment.
It's rare that we didn't argue or bicker.
Si Yue's eyes darted around, and she subtly inquired about his interests and hobbies.
However, Xie Lin thought the method was really clumsy.
Did you have fun today?
What do you think?
Si Yue thought of how pale he looked after vomiting, gave an awkward smile, and stiffly changed the subject.
"Did you know Disney recently released a movie? I heard it's very popular and great."
Do you usually watch movies?
Xie Lin, wearing gloves and peeling shrimp, replied without looking up, "I'm not interested. It's a waste of time, and it's noisy with so many people."
Si Yue retorted instinctively, "Aren't there screenings with fewer people?"
Xie Lin glanced at her and retorted, "Then why don't I watch it at home?"
"There's a movie theater in my basement."
Si Yue's smile vanished: "?"
Xie Lin asked sincerely, "What, don't you have any at home?"
Si Yue: "..."
"...There's no movie theater, but there is one other place."
"What?"
Si Yue gave a deathly smile, "If you keep talking, I might just send you to the hospital."
Seeing her so angry yet trying so hard to hold it in, Xie Lin couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Okay, I won't say anymore."
Why are you asking this?
Si Yue poked the steak with her fork and complained, "What else could it be? Of course, I want to ask you to a movie."
Xie Lin paused, then slowly asked, "A date... with me?"
Si Yue answered calmly, "Yes."
He raised an eyebrow, his gaze shifting slightly, and asked, "Why?"
"What?"
"Why me?"
The lights were bright, but his eyes were unusually dark, filled with emotions she couldn't understand.
Si Yue was stunned for a moment, then simply admitted it.
"Because I want to pursue you."
Xie Lin's expression froze, his mind went blank for a moment, and his eyes widened in astonishment, as if he couldn't believe it.
Before the surprise could spread, it was abruptly suppressed by him.
He looked into Si Yue's eyes, which were clear, transparent, and pure, containing nothing at all.
There was no conspiracy, no joke, and nothing else...
like.
He lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Despite her calm demeanor, Si Yue was actually quite nervous inside.
Especially seeing Xie Lin's suddenly cold expression and the faint sense of oppression emanating from him, a sense of tension arose spontaneously.
This was the first time Si Yue had experienced what it felt like to be described as difficult to deal with or not to be trifled with.
Oh no, oh no, will Xie Lin be angry?
Come to think of it, it does seem a bit odd that a friend you usually get along with suddenly tells you they want to pursue you.
I should have known better than to come up with this terrible idea just because I was trying to save face.
It would be terrible if this affected the friendship between the four of them.
The more Si Yue thought about it, the more she felt like she was out of her mind.
Her mind was racing, trying to come up with a reason to cover it up.
But before she could even think of it, a soft laugh suddenly reached her ears.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and she looked up.
"interesting."
Xie Lin chuckled softly, and after a moment, the look he gave her was quite intriguing.
He slowly took off his gloves, poured the broth over the peeled prawns, and finally moved them in front of her.
Si Yue was a little confused and subconsciously asked, "What?"
Xie Lin remained calm and composed, his expression unchanged.
"I don't like to eat it."
Si Yue: "So?"
Xie Lin pointed to a sign hanging on the wall not far away, and said matter-of-factly, "Didn't you see what it says on it?"
"Cherish food and eliminate waste."
"You ate it for me."
Si Yue: "..."
