Although this is a rather busy chapter, what with Su Jin's decision and Lu Xi's next plans, who doesn't want some food pics? ;)
The handsome facial features of the man before her were magnified, and almost instinctively, Su Jin shut her eyes.
Tenderly and reverently, the kiss lightly caressed those closed eyelids of hers, first on the left and once more on the right. Then with a stark realisation, he raised his head and her eyes fluttered open.
At that moment, with exchanged looks and ambiguous expressions, it seemed liked time came to a standstill.
"Hello, two slices of black forest chocolate mousse."
A soft girlish voice broke through the somewhat stagnated air between them and Lu Xi was startled. Then, with a raised glance, he smiled, "thank you."
Having delivered the cake to the table, the waitress' cheeks slightly blushed before retreating.
At the same time, Su Jin had awoken from her reverie and her face immediately flushed red. Unable to even deal with her most beloved chocolate mousse, in a fit of panic, she grabbed her satchel that was sitting beside the table. With a low and offhand remark of "I have something to do so I'll be leaving first," she instantly stood up and left her seat.
As the slim figure swiftly sped out into the distance without even awaiting his reply, Lu Xi simple observed the distancing figure with a lightly gaped mouth and a helpless expression.
Truth be told when his kiss had skimmed her eyelids, at that second, he had come to his senses. However, when an arrow was nocked onto a bow, it could not be withdrawn and what was done, had already been done.
At that instant, he had thought of the different possibilities of how she would have reacted: shy, surprised, pretending everything was fine, allowing it (the kiss) to happen naturally or even, anger or fear. He had also thought of the many ways to respond to her, yet the one thing he had not predicted was that this girl would actually immediately bolt.
