Chapter 312 His Perfume
Liu Wangxue's heart, which had been beating rapidly, suddenly calmed down.
What? What? That's it?
It’s not a confession?
Liu Wangxue thought Xu Qingsong was going to say "I like you", or "Let's be together", or "Be my girlfriend", or even "Let me be your boyfriend"...
But he just said "I want to pursue you".
Still asking if it is possible?
Oh my God~ A row of barrages flashed through Liu Wangxue’s mind.
It has come to this point—
She met Xu Qingsong's gaze, which was waiting for a reply, and said straight away: "I thought it was a confession."
Hearing this, Xu Qingsong felt relieved.
He just caught the change in Liu Wangxue's expression and thought she would refuse. It turned out that she was not refusing, but just did not meet her psychological expectations.
Alas, Xu Qingsong sighed in his heart, could it be that he didn't want to confess? Xu Qingsong regretted that he shouldn't have been impulsive, he should have been prepared to do it in one step.
He squeezed Liu Wangxue's palm, his tone filled with regret and apology: "I wanted to confess, but I haven't prepared anything."
Liu Wangxue looked at him and smiled.
Xu Qingsong continued: "As you said, life should have a sense of ritual."
"Okay then." Liu Wangxue felt that he had raised her expectations. "You said you wanted to pursue her, so I remind you that you have to be sincere when pursuing someone."
Xu Qingsong held her hand and walked forward, smiling and nodding: "Don't worry, I promise I will be sincere."
Liu Wangxue stopped at this time.
Xu Qingsong turned around and asked her, "What's wrong?"
Liu Wangxue raised her right hand that he was holding, pinched his sleeve with the fingertips of her left hand, and pulled her hand out.
"What are you doing?" Xu Qingsong asked again.
Liu Wangxue let go of his sleeves and poked his chest with her fingertips: "Let me remind you, Mr. Xu, you haven't caught up with her yet, so, I won't hold your hand for now."
After she finished speaking, she threw a strand of hair that had fallen on her shoulder behind her head, put her hands behind her back, and started walking forward again.
Xu Qingsong chuckled twice, looking at her arrogant appearance, and felt his heart being tickled slightly.
He took a few steps with his long legs and walked side by side with Liu Wangxue: "Okay, then I'll hold your hand when I catch her."
When they arrived at the car, Xu Qingsong opened the passenger door first, and waited for Liu Wangxue to sit in. He then pulled out the seat belt, supported his left hand on the seat, bent down and reached inside, and buckled it.
The movements were quick, decisive and efficient, without any delay.
Liu Wangxue didn't expect him to bend down suddenly, and she became tense all of a sudden, leaning tightly against the back of the seat.
Xu Qingsong fastened his seat belt and left, closing the passenger door.
He didn't even make eye contact with Liu Wangxue.
One second? Two seconds? Or three seconds? This short moment left a slow-motion scene in Liu Wangxue's mind.
He turned from his front face to his profile, the outline of his ears, the ends of his hair, his white collar, and a faint cool breath like cedar.
Ah, it's his perfume -
Liu Wangxue remembered that it was the second day after she and her parents moved into the courtyard. He sent a plate of brown sugar rice cakes as a house-warming gift. There was pea powder sprinkled on it. Just by looking at it, one could imagine how temptingly sweet it would be when bitten into it.
He was holding a glutinous rice cake, but he was dressed in formal clothes, and the perfume on his body smelled like the coolness of cedar. But his smile was warm, which automatically melted the frost.
Liu Wangxue patted her chest and adjusted herself to a comfortable sitting position. She heard him open the back door again and saw him put her bag on it in the rearview mirror.
After Xu Qingsong got into the driver's seat and fastened her seat belt, she said, "I suddenly want to eat brown sugar rice cake."
Xu Qingsong glanced at her, put his hand on the steering wheel, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go buy it first."
Along the way, Xu Qingsong chatted with her while keeping an eye on the shops along the roadside.
Turning a corner, there seemed to be a commercial street, with a shop selling fried snacks at the corner. It was a bit far away, and it was night, so the picture on the sign was not very clear, so Xu Qingsong found a parking space on the side of the road and got out to try his luck.
He unbuckled his seat belt and asked Liu Wangxue, "Is there anything else you want to eat?"
Liu Wangxue shook her head and looked at him with a smile: "Thank you~"
"Wait." Xu Qingsong gave her a bright smile.
About ten minutes later, he came back and handed the paper bag to Liu Wangxue: "You're lucky, they have it."
Liu Wangxue touched it and said, "It's still hot."
"So I was lucky," Xu Qingsong fastened his seat belt and drove out, "When it was my turn, the fish was fresh out of the pot."
"Wow, that's true!" Liu Wangxue praised, "You are so lucky!"
Xu Qingsong said to her, "There are disposable gloves inside. It tastes better while it's hot. Hurry up and try it."
Liu Wangxue put the bag on her lap and said, "Forget it. Didn't you say we're almost at the restaurant? Let's eat later."
"That's not right," Xu Qingsong asked her with a smile, "Before, you couldn't wait to satisfy your craving for the yogurt you bought at the supermarket. Why is this fragrant and hot yogurt not as tempting as yogurt?"
"I really want to eat it, but this is neither my car nor yours." Liu Wangxue said, "It's sprinkled with powder, and I'm afraid I'll accidentally dirty the car."
Xu Qingsong deliberately asked: "Oh, so you mean, if it's mine, I'm not afraid of getting it dirty?"
Liu Wangxue thought about the last time she drove to Hai City. She was driving Xu Qingsong's car. She was eating snacks when Gua Gua flirted with Xiao Ci again. The two started playing around, and one of them bumped into her wrist, causing most of the bag of potato chips to spill on the back seat.
Liu Wangxue tilted her head and looked at him: "Why, you don't allow it? I'll pay attention next time."
"Allow me, of course. You can do whatever you want." If driving wasn't inconvenient, Xu Qingsong would really like to pinch her dimples.
After a while, they arrived at their destination, which was an atmospheric western restaurant with a river view. It was the one Du Yunkai had booked last time. Flowers and wine were all ready for Xu Qingsong to take Liu Wangxue to.
Just now when Xu Qingsong asked Du Yunkai to borrow a car, he was afraid that there would be too many people at dinner time, so he asked him to help call and see if he could still book a seat.
For the happiness of his brother, he must be able to do it! Du Yunkai had a good relationship with the owner of this restaurant, so he helped to get it done with just one phone call. He even asked Xu Qingsong if he needed flowers, red wine, cakes, a violin, or a big diamond ring. He could help arrange all of them.
Xu Qingsong refused without hesitation: "What a joke, it's just a simple meal. Besides, if the person I like asks you to help chase her, what would I be?"
"Oh, I understand--" Du Yunkai threw the car keys to him, "Okay, go ahead, don't come back at night."
Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong walked to the store entrance together: "Ah, Western food?"
"Yes," Xu Qingsong smiled, "Didn't you say you didn't need to use chopsticks?"
Liu Wangxue wanted to say, but it's not convenient for me to hold a knife. After thinking about it, I decided not to order something cut with a knife: "Okay."
"Let's go to the restaurant recommended by Boss Du. It's very good. Let's go and try it." Xu Qingsong gave her a light embrace and gestured for her to go inside.
Du Yunkai asked the boss to reserve a seat for them on the terrace by the river, and the two were led by the waiter to sit down.
Xu Qingsong remembered that Liu Wangxue also liked steak, so he pointed to one of the dishes on the menu and said to her, "Would you like to try this? It's the signature dish of this restaurant."
Liu Wangxue raised her right hand to show him, and said in a coquettish voice: "With a hand that can't hold chopsticks, how much more convenient do you think it would be to hold a knife?"
Xu Qingsong coughed lightly and pointed at himself: "Madam, what do you think the role of the man sitting opposite you who brought you to dinner is?"
The waiter standing aside waiting for orders lowered his head and smiled.
"Okay, then you order." Liu Wangxue supported his chin with his left hand and laughed.
After Xu Qingsong ordered, he handed the bag of brown sugar rice cake to the waiter: "Could you please put this on a plate?"
"Yes, sir."
After a while, the waiter brought over the brown sugar rice cake.
Liu Wangxue picked up the fork, picked up a piece and took a bite.
Xu Qingsong watched her eat and asked her, "How is it? Is it delicious?"
Liu Wangxue nodded, then shook her head: "According to what's sold on the market, it's delicious, but it doesn't taste like that."
"Which flavor?" Xu Qingsong asked.
Liu Wangxue said, "When I first moved into the courtyard, you brought me the dish that morning."
Xu Qingsong felt as if his heart skipped a beat, and the smile on his face grew larger involuntarily: "Well, I guess you can only eat that at my house."
