Lan Qi finished the strawberries in his hand and slowly ate the stew from the bowl. "How about I take you for a walk around Southern Beast City?" he said. "None of the others know it as well as I do."
Su Yu glanced at him. Thinking about her exploration quest, which hadn't seen much progress, she didn't refuse. "Alright. I'll count on you then."
Besides, the weather was getting cooler, and she wanted to get out for a walk and breathe some fresh air.
Only then did Lan Qi show his first smile since returning.
It was a wonderful sign. Su Yu hadn't resisted his approach.
It meant that during the half-month he was gone, she had been thinking of him too.
After devouring the stew, he grabbed a mango and started eating it while he waited for her.
Su Yu ate slowly but with great elegance. When she was full, Shi Wei naturally took her leftover stew and finished it.
Ren Qing also snagged a shrimp she couldn't finish, tossing it into his mouth and eating it with a CRUNCH.
