Lisa connected the phone and answered in her heartiest voice, "Thank you for coming and watching the competition!"

Lisa connected the phone and answered in her heartiest voice, "Thank you for coming and watching the competition!"

"You say 'thank you', but that may not be necessary. Mayer told me that before I came, you were very calm. However, after I arrived, you were very nervous." His voice was cold, yet it didn't sound heartless. Instead, it seemed to be a force that stabled others.

Lisa wanted to fall sleep listening to his voice and never wake up.

"If I make you feel pressured, then I'll..."

"I want you to come! If you look at me, I will...I will be more calm!"

This was the first time Lisa had ever interrupted Jungkook.

She knew that if he looked at her, then she would not feel helpless or confused. No matter what happened, as long as Jungkook was at a place where she could see him, then she would know what she should do in the end.

"I'll be waiting for you on the Yue Jiang floor."

Then, the phone disconnected.

His voice was very light, but his words 'waiting for you' was like a curse which lingered in her ear, climbing into her thoughts.

Lisa ran out into the corridor.

"Hey, Lisa! Where are you going?" Her Uncle shouted out at her receding back.

"I'm going to go and eat with my friend!"

"Oh, this kid!"

As Lisa arrived at the front door of Leidewensen hotel, she saw the black car waiting for her.

Once again returning to Jungkook's villa, Lisa didn't know how to describe her feelings.

Mayer stood at the door and smiled at her, "Welcome back little bun."

As if it was her home.

He brought her to the terrace of the balcony, where the cutlery had already been placed on a table. A newly picked climbing rose was placed in a simple yet elegant glass vase, swaying gently.

Jungkook leaned on the balcony, a wine cup of red wine in his hands.

When Lisa walked out into the sun, Jungkook fluidly placed the wine cup behind him. He took a step forward and reached out in the air, trying to find Lisa's location. His face looked towards her and he walked closer, step by step, until he nearly touched her brow. Holding her breath, she even forgot to turn her head to the side.

Jungkook's hand gently covered her face. His palm was very warm and she subconsciously leaned into it.

"What do you want to eat today?"

"Can I choose anything?"

"Anything."

"Then I want to eat your potato pancake tower."
