“Knock, knock, knock…”
Back at the steakhouse, Tang Cheng tapped on the glass door.
Immediately, everyone inside looked out anxiously and saw the boy outside carrying two bags of food, placing them at the doorstep.
“Classmate, you’re back!” Tang Wanyue joyfully ran over and pushed the door open. Seeing Tang Cheng safe and sound, she felt a wave of relief. She had been worrying about him just moments ago, afraid something might have happened.
“Tang Wanyue, I brought your bag back. It should be this one, right?” Tang Cheng held up a white handbag.
“Uh, yes… yes…” Tang Wanyue unzipped it and saw that the pendant was still inside. Her eyes immediately welled up with tears. She quickly thanked Tang Cheng sincerely, “Thank you, thank you so much.”
“No problem. Though I have to admit, I felt a bit awkward—I opened your bag earlier to look inside, and…” Tang Cheng scratched the back of his head and explained honestly.
“Ah…” Tang Wanyue’s face flushed red as she realized the lily love letter inside the bag had clearly been opened. It was very likely that the boy in front of her had already read its contents, and of course, there was also that photo from the infirmary.
“N-No, that letter was just…” Tang Wanyue hurriedly waved her hands, blushing and flustered as she tried to explain.
“Not that? I mean… the bread in your bag—can I have it?” It turned out Tang Cheng was just thinking about the cream puff.
“Bread?” Tang Wanyue blinked in surprise, initially thinking Tang Cheng was about to mention the embarrassing love letter, but it was just about a piece of bread.
“Y-Yeah, sure. If you want to eat it, you can take it.”
With that, Tang Wanyue picked up the cream puff she had already bitten once and handed it to Tang Cheng.
“Really? If I eat your bread, you’re not going to make me your servant for life, right?”
Ten yuan was no small amount, so Tang Cheng had to be cautious.
“Pfft, of course not. It’s just that I’ve already bitten this bread. If you don’t mind, you can… take it.” Tang Wanyue’s cheeks flushed slightly—wasn’t this an indirect KISS?
“Of course I don’t mind! To me, bread is the most delicious thing in the world.” Tang Cheng immediately accepted the shyly offered bread from Tang Wanyue.
He quickly tore open the bread bag and anxiously started biting into the bread in front of her—right at the spot Tang Wanyue had bitten before. Although Tang Cheng didn’t realize it himself, this was clearly an indirect KISS!
“T-That’s the spot I bit…” Tang Wanyue immediately noticed where Tang Cheng was biting. Her fair, delicate face instantly turned a deep shade of red, and her pink lips subconsciously pressed together.
“Huh? Tang Wanyue, why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?” Tang Cheng asked obliviously at the worst possible time.
“N-No… it’s nothing…” Tang Wanyue lowered her head, shyly murmuring in response.
“Oh.” Chewing on the bread, Tang Cheng casually added, “By the way, I did read that love letter in your bag…”
“Ah, you really did read it…” Tang Wanyue let out a small, embarrassed cry, her cheeks burning with shame as she didn’t know what to say.
“Didn’t expect that—so there’s a girl who likes you too… No wonder you’re the student council member and a campus heartthrob. Even the girls are captivated by you. Glug glug…” Tang Cheng swallowed the bread in one bite, then watched Tang Wanyue’s expression closely.
