Chapter 66.3 — PDA

　　She's acting… spoiled?

　　With that sad, pitiful expression on her face, she was no different from an invincible killing machine! And as for her target, Qin Jiran…

　　His heart had already melted into a puddle. Although completely fl.u.s.tered, he suddenly wanted nothing more than to bring her all the delicious food in the world!

　　"Why don't you eat the cake first, I'll go cook something for you. Wait here, it won't take long," he mustered before fleeing into the kitchen.

　　As he laid out the ingredients, he couldn't help but start to quietly grumble about Kang Zhong.

　　Why send a message saying that the cake was too sweet? Couldn't he have sent something more useful? Qin Jiran complained that if Kang Zhong had told him Yanyi didn't eat at the party instead, he would've had dinner prepared already. Then his heart wouldn't be aching like this from seeing her pitiful expression!

　　Back inside the living room, Su Yanyi's eyes slowly regained their clarity, and her lips curved into a small smirk. She picked up the heart-shaped cake on the table and happily bit into it. The confection was creamy with just the right amount of sweetness added to it, suiting her tastes perfectly. Just as she thought, the food Qin Jiran made was the best.

　　As soon as she finished eating, the man returned to the living room carrying a bowl of seafood noodles. She unceremoniously took the bowl from him and dug in. Seeing her eagerness, he felt both heartache and amus.e.m.e.nt at the same time.

　　"From now on, tell me whenever you miss a meal so I can make something in advance," he said as he handed her a tissue, acting just like an extremely virtuous wife.

　　"Mhm." She couldn't bear to stop eating and look up, so she continued eating as she agreed. She also felt that she had miscalculated, mainly because she hadn't expected the food at the party to taste so bad. Henceforth, she definitely would not let herself go hungry like that again.

　　Realizing that she had no intention of taking the tissue from his hand, and plus there was a smudge of food at the corner of her lips, Qin Jiran hesitated before carefully leaning in to wipe her mouth for her.

　　Although she was the most concerned about her food, she noticed his action nonetheless. For a second, she was stunned. Then she stiffly grabbed the tissue, carelessly wiped her mouth with it, and continued eating.

　　How many years had pa.s.sed since someone last took such meticulous care of her? Many, many years. When she became old enough to understand certain things, she was given the responsibility of taking care of herself.

　　When he helped her wipe her mouth just now, it had felt even more intimate than when she kissed him during their date. Her emotions spun slightly out of her control as she savored the wonderful but complicated warmth. Such a small action was making her feel so much, prompting her to realize that living with another person could bring about a myriad of feelings, and she would slowly experience them one by one.

　　"001, does Qin Jiran's virtuousness count toward the Mission?"
