The car drove for half an hour before finally arriving. Xu Chengan had mostly calmed down. He got out first, then opened the driver’s side door, held her hand, helped her out, locked the car, and walked into the restaurant together.
Having made prior arrangements, the private room was already prepared with candles. Once the server left, he suddenly turned and embraced Shen Ran fully.
“Ran-jie… I love you so much.”
The indoor lights were dim, candles flickered, soft music played gently. Looking at his lover beside him, Xu Chengan’s heart raced, feeling everything was as beautiful as a dream. Only by holding her tightly could his excited and nervous heart settle.
Chen Jing hugged him back, reciprocating: “I love you too.”
Xu Chengan tightened his arms: “How much?”
“Hmm… I don’t like anyone except you.” Chen Jing smiled and asked: “How’s that? Satisfied?
Xu Chengan was satisfied, his heart blooming with joy. However, afraid of seeming too eager, he restrained himself, only nodding to indicate it was okay.
An electronic tone suddenly sounded: [Male Lead’s Happiness Value: 30%]
Chen Jing raised an eyebrow. Just as Xu Chengan released her to pull her to sit, she saw his 15% had changed to 30%.
The first time it rose to fifteen, the second time to thirty. Chen Jing pondered that perhaps the happiness value increased according to a pattern.
Maybe it doubled each time, so the next time it might jump to 60%?
Chen Jing’s eyes moved, considering this pattern.
He was calculating his small abacus without any concealment, yet still smiling adorably, with delicate features and a slightly flushed face. His deep black eyes looked over, a gaze that no woman could resist.
Chen Jing admitted she lacked the willpower. Following his lead, she took a sip and swallowed, ignoring the waiter carrying a steak, and transferred every drop into his mouth.
Xu Chengan was only slightly tipsy. After swallowing, he happened to see the approaching waiter and instantly blushed, casting a glare at Shen Ran.
The waiter kept his eyes down, not daring to look up. He carefully plated the steak for the two and quickly turned to leave.
“Look how you scared him,” Chen Jing teased, picking up her knife and fork.
