Chapter 151 And then there was that clear, heart-pounding sensation when their skin touched.
When the car stopped in front of the Western restaurant, Su Wan suddenly stopped in her tracks.
The familiar signboard glowed warmly in the twilight, and the floor-to-ceiling windows reflected the last rays of sunset on the horizon—the very place where she had caused such a ruckus last time.
Memories flooded back like a tide.
That day, she wore a red dress and deliberately splashed water on Lu Chenyuan's trousers. She then deliberately rubbed her fingertips against him, making his Adam's apple bob and his breathing quicken.
Later, she angered Lin Man and drove him away. She rushed to him and confessed her love with all her might, saying that he clearly had feelings for her, but he just wouldn't admit it.
Finally, under everyone's gaze, she begged him to give her a month's chance, but he shook off her hand and turned to leave.
She chased after him, shouting that she would go to the police station to wait for him every day until he nodded.
Looking back now, I realize how silly and brave I was back then, how adorably ridiculous I was, and how pathetically pathetic I was.
At that time, how annoyed must Lu Chenyuan have been with her, and how much he must have tried to avoid her?
As Su Wan thought about it, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved up, showing a mixture of relief and tenderness.
She looked up and came right into Lu Chenyuan's line of sight.
His gaze was deep, as if concealing turbulent emotions, clearly recalling the scene from that day.
"sorry."
Su Wan spoke first, her voice soft and tinged with a smile.
He said thank you, and she understood.
She said she was sorry and hoped he would understand.
Hearing this "I'm sorry"
Lu Chenyuan's Adam's apple bobbed violently, his emotions surging even more intensely in his eyes, and his voice becoming even hoarser.
"I'm the one who should apologize."
"At that time, I had already fallen for you, but..."
"ha."
Su Wan suddenly interrupted him, her tone light as if she wanted to break the heavy atmosphere.
"Weren't we here to eat? Let's stop talking about this. I'm starving. If I get any hungrier, I'll tear this place down."
Looking at her feigned relaxed demeanor, Lu Chenyuan's sadness faded slightly, and he nodded.
"it is good."
Su Wan strode into the store, her heart pounding.
When he said he was moved, his gaze was so intense, it felt like he was trying to draw her in; she almost couldn't hold on.
Oh my god, the look in his eyes just now was so sad, it made her heart tighten.
She randomly found a seat by the window, took out her phone, and scanned the QR code to order food.
My fingertips were still trembling slightly.
The waiter quickly came over, poured her a glass of warm water, and placed it on the corner of the table.
Lu Chenyuan followed slowly behind her, not in a hurry to sit down, but standing not far away, quietly watching her.
I watched her look down at her phone, noticed the faint blush on the tips of her ears, and watched her unconscious fingertips stroking the phone case.
His eyes were full of tenderness.
He didn't walk over to her and sit down until the waiter placed the menu on the table.
Su Wan's hand holding the phone suddenly stopped, and she looked up at him with wide eyes.
She thought he would sit across from her, like he did with Lin Man, across a table.
But he didn't. He sat down beside her, his warm breath almost brushing against her shoulder.
She opened her mouth as if to say something, such as, "Why don't you sit across from me?" or "This isn't very convenient."
But when she met his deep, somewhat melancholic eyes, the words that were on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back.
Well then... let him sit for a while.
Su Wan subtly moved to the inside, making room for him and keeping a fist's distance between them.
Lu Chenyuan noticed her little movements, a barely perceptible smile flashing in his eyes, but he didn't move any closer.
He knew he couldn't push her too hard; the fear from last night was still etched in her eyes. If he pressed her any further, he would only push her away.
It's nice to be able to sit side by side like this and have a quiet meal.
He'll talk to her after he finishes eating.
He wanted to tell her not to see Lu Yuanfeng.
He wasn't sure if Su Wan would still be willing to look back at him after seeing Lu Yuanfeng.
Neither of them spoke; the air was filled with the faint aroma of steak and the subtle scent of each other.
Su Wan looked down and scrolled through her phone, partly out of genuine boredom and partly to hide her embarrassment.
This was a rare moment of quiet between them.
There was no pulling or arguing, only quiet companionship.
It makes you feel inexplicably awkward, yet also inexplicably at ease.
There weren't many customers in the restaurant, and soon the waiter brought out the steak, pasta, and salad.
The sizzling filet mignon is served on a white porcelain plate, drizzled with black pepper sauce, and smells delicious.
The pasta is coated in cream sauce and sprinkled with finely chopped parsley.
The lettuce in the salad is crisp and refreshing, paired with vinaigrette dressing.
Su Wan picked up her knife and fork, about to bend down to cut the steak, when Lu Chenyuan gently pressed down on her wrist.
"I'll do it."
His voice was low and slightly hoarse.
The warmth from her fingertips traveled through her skin, making her wrist tremble slightly.
He took the knife and fork from her hand with a calm and elegant movement.
He held the plate steadily with his left hand and the knife in his right.
The knife sliced across the steak's marbling, slowly and deliberately.
Under the light, his profile was sharp, his eyelashes drooped, and he stared intently at the meat on his plate, even his breathing was very soft.
The blade struck the bottom of the plate with a soft, tinkling sound, which was particularly clear in the quiet restaurant.
In just a few moments, the thick steak was cut into evenly sized cubes.
Each piece is perfectly square with neat edges, coated in black pepper sauce, and has an enticing color.
Su Wan was stunned.
His hands are so beautiful.
Long, slender fingers.
The way he held the knife was precise and fluid.
The knife and fork seemed to come alive in his hands, cutting out perfect bite-sized pieces of steak.
It's not too big or too small; it's just the right size to fit in my mouth.
It won't get on your lips or your hands.
Looking at the neatly arranged little meat cubes, a thought suddenly popped into Su Wan's mind.
Is this size based on her mouth?
As soon as the thought crossed her mind, she couldn't help but smile to herself.
For some reason, I just found it funny.
I noticed her smile.
Lu Chenyuan paused for a moment.
The corners of her lips curved up.
I picked up the glass of warm water from the corner of the table and handed it to her.
Her fingertips gently pinched the cup, her movements incredibly tender.
"Drink some warm water."
His voice remained deep, and his gaze was fixed on her face, earnest and focused.
"Moisten your throat before you eat."
When Su Wan heard the words "moisten your throat," she was inexplicably stunned.
Immediately afterwards, her face turned red.
A faint blush rose from her cheeks to her ears, and even her neck.
She suddenly remembered last night.
She cried until her voice was hoarse, until she was breathless and almost stopped.
All because he was "bullying" her.
And then there's his hand...
These beautiful hands roamed over her body last night.
With scalding heat and restrained strength, it caressed her shoulders, her neck, her waist...
even--
Damn it, the images from last night keep flashing through my mind uncontrollably.
It's getting clearer and clearer.
His hot breath fell on the crook of her neck with a kiss.
His chest was tense.
A low growl from the bathroom.
And then there was the clear, heart-pounding sensation of their skin touching.
Those images were like close-ups from pornographic films, tinged with eroticism and decadence.
……
It's over.
Su Wan's mind was completely in turmoil.
She wished she could slap herself to death.
Why would she think about these things while eating?
These are things she resists and fears.
But my body—remembers, seems—to like it!
An inappropriate flutter stirred within me.
"Ahem!"
She looked down abruptly and choked on her own saliva.
He started coughing violently.
Her face turned as red as if it were about to bleed.
I hurriedly took the water glass, my fingertips trembling.
