'What am I hesitating for? He is my boyfriend in this place. I should just do whatever I want.'
With that thought, she held his left hand gently.
"Hmm?" Ling Tian instantly shifted his gaze to the waitress.
When he found out that the waitress was not looking at them, he finally knew what was going on. For this reason, a desire to tease Shen Yueyan arose within him.
"My love, I didn't know you liked my hands this much." He smiled playfully.
Shen Yueyan's heart pounded when she heard the nickname he used for her. "Don't call me my love. It's bad for my heart."
He chuckled softly. "Bad for your heart?"
"Yes," she replied. "It makes my heart pound."
Upon hearing her answer, his lips curled up into a playful smile once again. "Then, I will keep calling you my love."
"Bad young man!" she muttered.
"I'm indeed a bad man." He didn't deny it as if it were something to be proud of.
"Let's enjoy the Fruit Parfait and Love Drink." A cheerful smile blossomed on her face. "The size is big, but she only gave us one spoon."
"Well, it's for a couple." He didn't find it strange because sharing a spoon was normal for couples.
'She must have really been looking forward to trying them.'
His face broke into a smile when he saw her happy expression.
"Mmmm…" She squeezed her eyes shut in delight.
'It's so delicious!'
She knew it would taste great, but it was better than she expected.
*Plop…
A piece of fruit fell from the glass bowl and landed on the table.
Since her right hand was holding Ling Tian's, she used her other hand to pick it up.
His smile grew softer at her adorable reaction.
'So, she has this cute side too.'
When he saw her struggling to scoop the Fruit Parfait, he decided to let go of her hand.
To his surprise, she immediately tightened her grip as if she could not live without holding his hand.
"Let me feed you." He made the offer because his right hand was free.
"Un." She agreed without thinking twice.
Ling Tian took the spoon and scooped up some Fruit Parfait. "Here."
Shen Yueyan opened her mouth and ate it without hesitation.
'It tastes better! Is it because he is feeding me?'
A question popped up in her mind.
When he was about to feed her again, a mischievous idea popped into his mind. "Again?"
She nodded her head.
"Then, call me my love first." He smiled playfully. "Say 'my love, feed me again.'"
"You want to take advantage of the situation, huh?" Normally, she would be annoyed if any man tried something like that, but strangely, she didn't feel that way when he did.
She even smiled at him as if she loved his teasing.
"So?" he brought the spoonful of Fruit Parfait closer to her so that she could not refuse him.
Her eyes moved following the spoon as he teased her.
After several seconds, she finally gave in. "My love, feed me again."
"Good girlfriend." Ling Tian's face instantly turned happy. "Here, eat it."
"Are you happy now?" she asked.
"I'm thrilled," he replied.
Ling Tian fed her again, and like before, she ate it immediately.
"Tian, you eat too." She wanted him to taste the Fruit Parfait, so she told him to enjoy it with her.
"Alright." He agreed without thinking twice.
When she saw him eating the Fruit Parfait, her lips curled up into a smile. "It's delicious, right?"
"Of course, because I'm eating with my beautiful girlfriend." He used his sweet words.
"Sweet talker!" Even though she said this, deep inside, she was delighted. "Feed me again."
Ling Tian smiled and spoiled her again.
At this moment, Ying saw what they were doing.
'It seems like they are truly in love with each other.'
A soft smile spread across her face.
'I hope this restaurant will give them happy memories.'
Even though the restaurant was not hers, she still wished every customer would have a happy moment there.
After enjoying the Fruit Parfait, both Ling Tian and Shen Yueyan drank the juice through a heart-shaped straw.
The duo smiled happily as they drank the juice together, as if they were expressing their feelings through their smiles and gazes.
Shortly after they finished their drink, the rain stopped.
"Shall we go home now?" she asked.
"Un." He nodded.
After paying for the food, they left the restaurant.
"Hope you enjoyed your meal with us. Have a wonderful day." Ying bid them farewell with a bright smile.
Ling Tian and Shen Yueyan didn't say anything, but they nodded slightly, thanking her for the warm hospitality.
To his surprise, Shen Yueyan held his hand once they were out of the restaurant.
'Hmm?'
Ling Tian was startled because he thought their act would end once they left the restaurant.
"You are holding my hand again. Are we still acting or…" he spoke and paused for a second before he continued. "…have we become real lovers?"
