74: Chapter 72 Candlelight Dinner 74: Chapter 72 Candlelight Dinner n always have an infinite longing for a beauty’s private room; it seems like a mysterious area, filling n with a desire to explore.
After sitting in the living room for a while and glancing at the busy figure in the kitchen, Tangyu couldn’t help but call out, “Liu Shanshan, can I take a look at your room?”
Clap—
While washing sothing, Liu Shanshan’s hand slipped, and without turning around, she quickly replied, “Sure, go ahead.”
“Alright, then I won’t be shy,” Tangyu said with a slight smirk, walking towards Liu Shanshan’s room.
It was a small bedroom, adorned with so simple murals on the walls.
However, everything was neat and tidy, giving off a rather pleasant and refreshing impression.
A woman’s room always has a unique scent, a scent left behind by the room’s inhabitant after a long residence.
And this scent could stimulate a man’s hormones and certain fantasies.
The room wasn’t huge, a bed, a wardrobe, and a long table, that was basically all there was space for, which made it seem sowhat cramped.
However, it was lucky to have a balcony, and Tangyu’s gaze drifted toward the balcony, his eyes suddenly fixed.
A light green dress and a matching light green bra were hanging there.
Seeing this, Tangyu couldn’t help but feel his blood rush, honestly speaking, this was his first ti staring so directly at a woman’s intimate items.
He stared for quite a while before he reluctantly moved his gaze away.
Saying it was a visit, Tangyu really just took a quick look and swiftly retreated back to the living room.
“Are you sure you don’t need my help?” Tangyu approached the kitchen doorway.
Liu Shanshan was startled by Tangyu’s sudden voice, she turned and smiled, “Really, there’s no need.
Just sit back and relax, it’ll be ready soon.” The ingredients were all washed, and the rice was cooking in the rice cooker; Liu Shanshan had already started stir-frying.
“Okay then,” Tangyu said with a smirk, backing out honestly.
About half an hour later, Liu Shanshan had finished cooking all the dishes, which were very plentiful.
Five dishes and one soup, six large plates, and the portions were all quite generous.
For two people, this was really a feast.
“Everything looks and slls amazing, and just by seeing and slling, I can tell that Liu Shanshan, your cooking must be fantastic.
It seems today, I’m in for a treat,” Tangyu sincerely remarked.
Liu Shanshan blushed and laughed shyly, “Don’t praise anymore, I’m not that great, you’re making feel arrogant.
Whether it’s good or not, you’ll know once you taste it.
Anyway, I think it’s not very special, just make do and have sothing to eat.
Let’s start, I’ll open the wine for you.”
“How could that be, I’m sure it’s very delicious,” Tangyu laughed.
Liu Shanshan poured Tangyu a glass of wine and poured one for herself as well.
Tangyu said, “Liu Shanshan, you drink too?”
Liu Shanshan shook her head, “No, actually I hardly drink at all, I’ve only touched it two or three tis so far.
Beer is okay, I can manage a little bit, but I have a very low tolerance, probably two or three glasses would make drunk.
I can’t drink with you today, I’ll just have this one glass, as a courtesy of the host.
If the hospitality is poor, please forgive , Tangyu.”
“Here I thought you could drink.
You’ve brought out a whole box of wine, are you trying to get drunk?” Tangyu joked, glancing at the box of wine on the ground.
Liu Shanshan quickly said, “Not at all, drink as much as you’d like, I was just worried it might not be enough.
If we don’t finish it today, we can drink it next ti.” But after saying this, Liu Shanshan also paused for a mont, her cheeks blushing slightly.
“Well then, I guess I’ll just have to co back and drink next ti,” Tangyu laughed.
“Let’s start eating,” Liu Shanshan said shyly.
If soone else had seen this scene, they would be incredibly envious.
After the joke, Tangyu beca serious again, raised his glass and said, “Here’s to you, beautiful Liu Shanshan, you’ve worked so hard today preparing such a big al for , I toast to you.
Next ti I’m free, I’ll host and invite you to dinner, just don’t know if the beautiful Liu will grace us with her presence?”
“I’d be very happy if you invited to dinner,” Liu Shanshan smiled slightly, lifting her glass to clink with Tangyu’s.
Clap—
The mont their glasses touched, the lights suddenly went out, plunging the world into darkness.
“Another power outage, I’m really sorry, Tangyu.
The community has been undergoing electrical maintenance recently, so the power goes off quite often,” Liu Shanshan said, looking outside.
Tangyu touched his nose in the dark and said, “It seems I really picked the precise mont, is it that the heavens don’t welco dining with you?”
“How could that be?
You sit first, I’ll go get the candles,” Liu Shanshan said.
In no ti at all, she had brought over four candles and lit them.
A candle was placed at each table leg, brightening up the living room once again.
However, the light from the candles was limited, and despite the four candles, it still seed a bit dim.
The candlelight flickered beautifully, casting a different kind of charm.
The red light shone on Liu Shanshan’s face, making it unclear whether her cheeks were blushing or just bathed in red light.
Tangyu shook the wine glass in his hand and smiled, “I often see candlelit dinners on TV and everyone says they’re very romantic.
I didn’t expect that we would actually have one today, and the feeling is really quite nice,” he said.
Liu Shanshan also shyly lowered her head a bit.
Candlelit dinners were always a romantic affair between lovers, but she wasn’t sure if the mood at the mont was romantic or awkward.
But this feeling seed really rather nice.
“At first I thought the heavens didn’t welco , but I was wrong; the heavens were giving a chance,” Tangyu said.
“For this unexpected candlelit dinner, I need to toast to the beautiful Liu Shanshan again.”
Liu Shanshan, her face flushed, clinked glasses with Tangyu and took a sip of wine.
Her cheeks were already burning red, and after a sip of wine under the influence of alcohol, they turned even redder.
Moreover, with the candlelight shining down, she really looked like a ripe red apple, adorable to the extre.
Any man would probably feel impulses upon seeing this face.
Under these circumstances, Tangyu couldn’t help feeling the urge to lean in for a kiss.
The atmosphere, though a bit awkward, felt quite nice.
As they drank, Liu Shanshan gradually began to loosen up, the awkwardness gone.
The mood also gradually beca light and cheerful, with Tangyu occasionally cracking jokes that made her burst out laughing.
“No wonder I always see people on TV enjoying candlelit dinners; the feeling really seems quite nice.
This is my first ti, and I’ve given it to you, haha,” Tangyu laughed.
“My first ti was also given to you—” Liu Shanshan responded offhandedly, then suddenly got caught up in her thoughts and blushed, quickly adding, “Pfft, how annoying, misleading .
What ‘first ti’ you’re talking about.”
Tangyu laughed happily, “But it is our first ti together, isn’t it?
Life is full of first tis; it’s not always what you think it ans, so we didn’t say anything wrong,” he argued.
“Uh…”
Whoosh—
Suddenly, a strong wind blew in, rustling everything and completely extinguishing the four candles.
At the sa ti, a miserable scream ca from outside, almost like a ghostly howl.
This sudden change also startled Liu Shanshan, causing her to jump up in alarm.
Tangyu quickly stood up too, and in his panic, Liu Shanshan tripped over the leg of the table and almost fell over.
Tangyu moved quickly to her, catching Liu Shanshan and shielding her with his body.
Startled and frantic, Liu Shanshan instinctively clung tightly to Tangyu, burying herself into his embrace, bringing them into a close and intimate contact.
Having Liu Shanshan in his arms felt incredibly wonderful; he could feel every part of her skin against him, so soft and smooth.
He could feel her rapidly beating heart, her body’s heat as feverish as her temperature.
Especially the sensation of her chest pressed against his was indescribably delightful, so much so that Tangyu didn’t want to let go.
He began to feel increasingly agitated below.
Moonlight poured down, bathing them in radiance.
Liu Shanshan, too, seed stunned, gazing at Tangyu with wide-open eyes, their gazes locked together, exchanging emotions through their eyes.
Amidst the atmosphere brewed earlier and this scene, both felt an inexplicable impulse.
Gazing at Liu Shanshan’s incredibly attractive lips, feeling her hot body against him, desire surged within Tangyu, almost like a shout deep within his mind.
Liu Shanshan was equally bewildered, her mind a blank.
Kiss her, kiss her—
Tangyu was almost unable to resist moving closer to Liu Shanshan’s lips; they could both feel each other’s breath, making them increasingly nervous.
Liu Shanshan, her face red, closed her eyes.
When a woman closes her eyes, that’s a sign she’s waiting for a man to kiss her.
Seeing this, Tangyu’s courage and desire surged.
Smack—
But just as Tangyu’s lips touched Liu Shanshan’s, a bright flash of light struck their eyes; the electricity had suddenly returned.
In that mont of hesitation, Liu Shanshan also abruptly ca to her senses, opened her eyes, pushed Tangyu away, and hurriedly sat back down, burying her head in her hands.
One could see her ears and neck were also red.
Tangyu, sowhat disappointed, pouted.
The darned electricity, which could have co at any other ti, had chosen this mont to return; if it had been just a tad bit later, he at least would have been able to kiss the beautiful Liu Shanshan’s lips.
Tangyu returned to his seat, their al largely finished now, but the atmosphere had beco unprecedentedly awkward.
Glancing at Liu Shanshan, Tangyu felt sowhat apologetic, “I’m sorry, Liu Shanshan, I was too impulsive just now.”
Liu Shanshan then looked up, her face still red as she shook her head and whispered like a mosquito’s buzz, “Don’t bla yourself, it was my fault, sorry.”
“I’m the one who should be saying sorry,” Tangyu insisted.
This back-and-forth only added to the already heavy awkwardness.
Checking the ti, Liu Shanshan finally indirectly gave Tangyu a hint to leave, and Tangyu also promptly got up to say goodbye.
They say you can’t rush eating tofu, and the sa goes for wooing a beautiful woman.
Even though he was eager, Tangyu was quite sure that Liu Shanshan was already beginning to have feelings for him.
If he just pushed a bit harder, he believed he could make her fall for him soon.
