“Why aren’t you eating, you don’t like the food? ” Xin Yong asked when she noticed Jin Yue staring at the crayfish on his plate.

“No…, I just feel like you should eat more.. ” With that he lifted the crayfish and placed it on her plate.

She smiled shyly and dug into the spicy crayfish.

….

“So Sweet, what are your hobbies? ” Jin Yue asked as he poured wine into their glasses, they had already finished eating and the waitresses just finished clearing the table.

“Haha, my hobbies?. Mmm, let me see…” Xin Yong smiled as she put down her phone. Xiao Ran had been sending her unending messages on Wechat.

She couldn’t even read all of them before Jin Yue’s question drew her back to the present.

“I love talking, and I love cooking and what else, what else, yes, love watching romance movies. They are my favorite..haha ”

Xin Yong spoke freely. She was no longer nervous as before. Jin Yue casually contributed to the discussion as though they’ve known themselves for years.

“Romance movies?” He asked, sipping his wine a little.

“Yeah, Romance movies and mostly Korean dramas.”

She smiled as she talked about funny scenes in her best movies.

Jin Yue laughed non stop, Xin Yong demonstrated as she spoke, sometimes imitating the characters.

They lost themselves to the chat and didn’t know that it had become late.

…..

“Jin Yue!!, it’s past eleven!” Xin Yong sprang up when a message notifications popped up on her phone and she mistakenly saw the time.

Jin Yue glanced at his watch and stood up immediately.

“Jin Yue!!, nobody is allowed into the school by eleven thirty!!, What am I going to do? ”

Xin Yong exclaimed as she remembered the school rules. ‘How did they waste so much time!’

“You could stay at my place for the night”

Jin Yue proposed. He didn’t read any meaning into it, but Xin Yong interpreted it in another way.

She stared at him with disgust, that was when Jin Yue realised what he just said.

“Oh, what I mean is that you can sleep over at my place since the gates will be closed by the time we get to the school, don’t worry, I won’t touch you. I promise.”

Jin Yue clarified, Xin Yong relaxed a little, but she was still scared a little.

‘What if it was a one night stand?, he rapes me and throws me away! and he’s rich so he could get away with anything.!’

Xin Yong stared at him and clutched her purse tightly. Her body became tense all of her sudden and she stepped back from the table.

Jin Yue noticed her movements and tried to calm her down.

“Sweet, don’t be scared, if I wanted to use you, I would have drugged the wine, but I didn’t, I’m sincere, I won’t touch you without your permission again. Just trust me. ”

Xin Yong thought about what he said. It was true, if he wanted to do anything to her, he would have drugged the wine or the tasty Crayfish that she ate all alone but he didn’t, that meant he was a bit sincere.

She glanced at him and relaxed a bit. Her grip on her purse lessened and she smiled at him a little.

“Sorry, it was just that.. ”

“Don’t worry, I understand” Jin Yue immediately cut in, he held out his hand for her and they walked out of the hotel.

….

“I told you, she is definitely not returning tonight. Haha, no man can lay his eyes on such sexy body and let her go that easily.” Xiao Ran exclaimed when she glanced at the clock and realized that it was past twelve.

Richen and Liling had been waiting for Xin Yong but because she was taking too long, they decided to sleep.

“Oh my, so this night something is going to happen!!, wait… are you sure it’s not happening right now!!, and Xin Yong wore a sexy lingerie today!!. Ahhh, so they are going to do what ‘mommy and daddy does!’, hehe” Xiao Ran screamed as she rolled on the bed imagining the scenes.

“Xiao Ran!, stop dreaming and sleep, and if you don’t want to sleep, you can go downstairs and scream all you want because your really disturbing us here”

Richen who was about sleeping exclaimed.

“Ah, you are so harsh…” Xiao Ran complained but all the same snuggled into her bed.

….

Jin Yue drove into a big compound in the estate. Xin Yong stepped out of the car when it came to a stop and admired the view.

A beautiful duplex, a fountain by the right and a large swimming pool by the left. She just saw the front view and it was very amazing. The lights were on, so it highlighted the beauty of his home.

Jin Yue came to stand beside her. She glanced up at him and couldn’t help but comment.

“Your house is amazing!”

“Mmm, do you like it?”

Jin Yue looked at her as they walked into the building.

“It’s beautiful.. ”

Xin Yong replied, she figured she wasn’t in a position to say if she liked his house or not. She was nothing to him.

“Mm”

Jin Yue decided not to press on the topic.

They entered the living room, Xin Yong noticed that everything was made of pure glass accept the seats and curtains. The walls were painted white which made the house look delicate and expensive.

Jin Yue led her to the cushion and she sat down admiring everywhere.

“You live alone? ”

She asked when she noticed that the house was very quiet but at the same time neat.

“Yes, but the house helps come three times a week to clean up the house.” Jin Yue answered.

“You want to rest now? ” He asked again when he noticed she looked a bit tired.

Xin Yong nodded and stood up from the seat. Jin Yue led her to a guest room on the ground floor.

She thanked him and closed the door behind her.
