Shen Zhining drove to a place they were both very familiar with.
Cirrus Cloud Restaurant.
Sheng Jiaoyang and Shen Zhining went straight to the top floor using the private elevator.
They arrived at a familiar-looking private room.
Last time, they'd met in this exact room and had agreed to become fake boyfriend-girlfriend.
Night had fallen, and they could see the night view of the whole city through the floor-to-ceiling window.
The ceiling was embedded with tiny star lights. On the long table, candles were lit and there was food, providing the perfect ambience for a candlelit dinner. Ballad music echoed gently in the background, creating a very romantic atmosphere in the room.
Shen Zhining pulled out the chair on the right for Sheng Jiaoyang.
Seeing his sudden gentlemanly behaviour, Sheng Jiaoyang was somewhat at a loss. She glanced at him a few times before sitting down.
The candlelight swayed in the air. Under the faint light, the two looked at each other intently across the table.
Sheng Jiaoyang never thought that there'd be a day where she'd be having a candlelight dinner with Shen Zhining. She stared at him with a complicated look on her face, feeling like she'd been riding on a roller coaster these days thanks to him.
The two ate their meal in silence.
When they'd finished, Shen Zhining got up and walked towards Sheng Jiaoyang. He held out his right hand and said, "Let's dance."
Sheng Jiaoyang glanced at him, placed her left hand on the palm of his hand, and stood up from her seat. She was led by him to the spacious area. His other hand wrapped around her waist, and she placed her hand on his shoulder.
She was currently wearing stilettos with a five centimetre heel, so their heights were about the same and she could directly gaze into his eyes.
As they moved along to the slow-paced rhythm, the two stared fixedly at one another. Their breath mingled in the dark, creating a romantic, heart-thumping atmosphere.
"Who taught you how to dance?" Shen Zhining suddenly asked.
Sheng Jiaoyang blinked. As soon as she heard his question, she immediately became more alert and guardedly replied, "I learned it at school."
Satisfied with this answer, Shen Zhining tightened his grip around her waist and tugged her closer. Gazing into her eyes, he earnestly said, "I meant every word I said yesterday. Let's start over and make our relationship official."
"But, I already have someone I like." Sheng Jiaoyang's gaze fluttered.
"Look at me," Shen Zhining said.
Sheng Jiaoyang didn't get it, but she still looked at him, face to face. His eyes were like a vast sea of stars with an unfathomable depth.
"Engrave my appearance into your mind and remember that the person you must like is the owner of this face!"
Upon hearing that, Sheng Jiaoyang was stunned. Obviously, she didn't expect him to say such words. It was simply tooooo...shameless!
"Feelings can't be forced. If you had a choice, I don't think that you'd choose to like me," Sheng Jiaoyang said, hoping to change Shen Zhining's mind.
"People's physiological reactions won't lie. You didn't resist me yesterday."
"I..."
Shen Zhining stopped her words with a kiss. Sheng Jiaoyang took a deep breath and strangely wasn't astounded by his actions this time. On the contrary, she felt that everything Shen Zhining did was now quite normal.
