Chapter 252 Unable to Calm Down
Jiang Xilin quickly prepared dinner and even prepared some red wine.
When Chen Congyu sat down opposite him, he inexplicably felt that something was wrong.
She said in advance: "I probably can't drink yet."
She was referring to the fact that she had just recovered from gastroenteritis.
Jiang Xilin didn't force her. He nodded when she said that, "You don't have to drink."
Then Chen Congyu was relieved, and before starting to eat, she took out the decorated gift box from her bag.
Under Jiang Xilin's gaze, she didn't want him to misunderstand, so she explained: "After all, today is a special day, so I prepared a gift as usual. It's nothing special, just accept it casually."
Even though she said that, Jiang Xilin was still happy to accept it.
"Can I open it now?"
Shen Congyu nodded.
"I don't know what you're lacking or what you need. I feel like you probably have everything right now, so I chose something you can use."
She made it herself: a bottle of perfume and two scented candles. They all had the same scent, a special blend she had learned from her master.
She thought Jiang Xilin would like it.
Jiang Xilin saw it. After he opened the gift box, a faint fragrance wafted out. He didn't even need to try it to know that he liked the smell.
"Thank you, you know me well."
For this kind of thing, unless you just buy some popular perfumes perfunctorily, if you want to cater to the other person's preferences, you must know the other person well enough.
Jiang Xilin felt that he was very satisfied, which meant that Shen Congyu understood his preferences very well.
Chen Congyu didn't want to show how familiar she was with him, even though it was the truth, but when she heard Jiang Xilin say it so directly, out of avoidance, she still drank a sip of water and replied casually: "As long as you like it."
Jiang Xilin said without disguising: "I like it."
What he didn't say was that if he used perfume, he would think of Chen Congyu anytime and anywhere.
Chen Congyu couldn't drink, so he picked up the wine glass alone and clinked it with Chen Congyu's juice. "I didn't expect you to prepare a gift for me. In fact, it's enough that you can come today."
"I'm just doing what I promised."
Jiang Xilin's eyes never left Chen Congyu's face. No matter how calm Chen Congyu's reaction was, he seemed satisfied.
Then let Chen Congyu taste his cooking skills.
Suddenly, Shen Congyu felt that today was her birthday.
Jiang Xilin became the cautious one.
She tried her best to support him, but even without saying anything nice, her genuine comments were very good.
Jiang Xilin cooks delicious food.
He drank most of the bottle of red wine by himself. He was not drunk, but his face showed some signs of drunkenness.
The corners of her eyes were a little red, and her gaze at Chen Congyu was even more direct and burning.
Chen Congyu always pretended to be stupid.
Finally, after dinner, the dishes were put into the dishwasher. Jiang Xilin came out of the kitchen after washing his hands and brought a bunch of fruits and placed them in front of Shen Congyu.
Even weirder.
He sat down casually beside Shen Congyu, and the faint fragrance on his clothes, mixed with a hint of alcohol, began to invade Shen Congyu's breathing space.
"Have our relations improved at your place during this time?"
Jiang Xilin said seriously, "I want to hear the truth."
As soon as Chen Congyu saw his eyes, she inexplicably wanted to escape. She was not afraid, but she felt that his current appearance could not make her feel at peace.
She licked her lips. "The current situation is pretty good, even if it only seems so now. After all, the way we were doing before... I don't think anyone would want to continue. So it's pretty peaceful now. I don't want too many changes."
"That's good. To be honest, I'm worried that my efforts are in vain. So, I understand you're not rejecting me, am I right?"
