With so much food, and neither of us being big eaters, it's impossible for two people to finish it all.
Hsien Ming-yu only considered that this honeymoon trip here was rather rushed, unlike others who could travel for a month or two and leave only after they had their fill.
They're going back in a couple of days, so they won't have much time to sightsee and enjoy the food.
When it was the first time I took her out, I wanted to bring her the best of everything to satisfy her.
Bai Xiaoruo rarely asked Xuan Mingyu for anything, but he didn't want her to live a poor life. He would give her the best he could, except for affection, in terms of material things.
Waste and expenses are not something she needs to worry about; all she needs to do is enjoy the last two days of her trip.
After he returned, his grandfather agreed to let him go back to the company. He would be very busy again and wouldn't have much time to spend with her. Perhaps he would rarely have the chance to go out and play like this again.
"Eat whatever you want. If you can't finish it, that's fine. You don't have to pay." Xian Mingyu picked up the chopsticks on the table and put a lot of food into her small bowl. "Try it and see if it suits your taste."
"Okay... but this is the last time."
"What do you mean, the last time?"
"That's right, this is the last time we'll be so extravagant. From now on, let's eat out less often. Anyway, there's a small kitchen in the hotel, and I can buy groceries at the nearby market and cook for you. I don't want to spend too much of your money or owe you too much."
Bai Xiaoruo owes him so much, she really doesn't know how she will repay him when the time comes to leave him.
"I really don't know what's going on in your head all day long. Hurry up and drink the soup, it won't taste good when it gets cold." Instead of answering her question directly, Xian Mingyu urged her to drink the steaming hot fish soup in front of her quickly.
Actually, she didn't owe him anything.
Idiot... I'm the one who owes you the most...
But not everything can be compensated.
"Oh." Bai Xiaoruo picked up the small spoon on the table, scooped up a small spoonful of soup, blew on it to cool it down, and savored it carefully.
The fish soup was very delicious and tasted amazing. It had a very unique flavor. Bai Xiaoruo had drunk fish soup many times since she was a child, but this was the first time she had ever tasted such a flavor.
Their dinner had just begun when Xuan Mingyu's cell phone rang in his pocket.
He glanced at the caller ID, remained silent for a few seconds, and then got up and went outside the restaurant to answer the call.
While Xian Mingyu was holding his phone without quickly pressing the call button, Bai Xiaoruo inadvertently glanced at the caller ID. She recognized the name.
It's that Luo'er again.
This is not the first time, nor the second time, that I've seen this caller ID.
These past few days, whether it's night or day, whenever Bai Xiaoruo is by Xuan Mingyu's side, she's noticed that Luo'er calls him.
At least three times a day.
Moreover, they talk on the phone for an exceptionally long time, sometimes even for several hours without hanging up.
One time, the call came in the middle of the night. They were all half asleep when the number woke them up.
The most embarrassing time was last night.
They were still doing something intimate when his phone suddenly rang. The ringtone was particularly loud in the darkness. He immediately lost interest in the woman beneath him, quickly got dressed, and went to the balcony to answer the call.
Bai Xiaoruo huddled under the covers, waiting for a long time, but he didn't come back. It wasn't until she woke up early the next morning that he had already changed his clothes and was ready to go downstairs.
And now...
He was enjoying a meal when that phone call took him away again.
Bai Xiaoru kept poking at the white rice in her bowl with her chopsticks, feeling quite upset. She had originally planned to have a big meal with all the delicious food on the table, but now she had no appetite at all.
"Luo'er... who exactly is that woman? Is she that important to you?" Bai Xiaoruo looked through the glass wall and saw Xuan Mingyu standing at the door with his back to her, talking on the phone. She muttered to herself.
She suddenly thought of something.
Luo'er... Ruo'er... sound very similar.
Her memory became clear immediately. Yes, it was indeed very similar. If you didn't listen carefully, you would think it was the same name.
A few months ago, when their relationship was still cold, he came home from get off work and she excitedly greeted him in her apron. He also called out "Luo'er" softly, but the two words sounded too similar. Bai Xiaoruo thought that Xuan Mingyu was calling her "Ruo'er," thinking it was her name, and even asked him. As a result, he got very angry and pushed her away. He pushed her hard, his eyes full of disgust, and Bai Xiaoruo almost fell to the ground.
He hated her back then, Bai Xiaoruo knew that, but she never expected...
It turns out I had misunderstood.
Moreover, it was a very ridiculous misunderstanding.
She once thought that even if he didn't love her, he would still have a tiny place for her in his heart, and Bai Xiaoruo would be content. But now she realized how presumptuous and delusional she had been.
How could she possibly believe that he would have feelings for her?
Oh......
She lowered her head and gave a bitter smile.
She knew, she finally knew.
In his heart, there was never any Ruo'er; she meant nothing to him. The only person he ever loved was Luo'er.
After finishing his phone call, Xuan Mingyu returned to his seat, and Bai Xiaoruo didn't touch her chopsticks again.
She eats very little.
It wasn't that the food didn't suit her taste; it was that she simply had no appetite and could no longer eat.
