Seeing that Zhai Yanjun didn't seem to be lying, Xiang Wai forgot how to react for a mont. "Why did you tell him that?"
"He wanted to introduce to so distant relative of his," replied Zhai Yanjun. "So, I just told him I already have soone in my heart." Of course, that happened half a year ago when they had already broken up. But he didn't need to tell that detail as well.
Xiang Wai pressed her lips together and didn't say anything. Soon, their orders were delivered and Xiang Wai was more than happy to see the appearance of the parfait. She felt like she could eat more just because of the pleasing presentation.
As he was about to pick up his spoon to dig in, he suddenly noticed sothing and asked, "Do you want to click pictures for you?"
"Huh?" She didn't understand his aning.
So, Zhai Yanjun pointed toward the other custors as he said, "All those girls seem to be clicking pictures. So are even clicking pictures of the cute dessert before them. So, I just thought maybe you'd be interested in that too?" He pressed his lips together and without waiting for her response, he added, "Or we should take a picture together? We don't seem to have a photo together."
Xiang Wai was stunned when he pointed that out.
"We can keep it as a mory of our first date," he added further.
Xiang Wai nodded her head like a woodpecker and hurriedly agreed, "Yes, let's do that."
Zhai Yanjun took his phone to click a selfie but obviously, it didn't turn out very well. He felt embarrassed and said, "How about you try it?" So, Xiang Wai tried to take a selfie but it still didn't work out. It was a sad reality but these two not only didn't know how to date right, they also didn't know how to click a photo.
This realization was very embarrassing. They were so good at their jobs. When had they fallen short in their training or in their missions? Which of the targets couldn't they shoot with their guns in the end, they failed miserably with the cara angle?
"This..." Xiang Wai was staring at the picture she clicked and didn't know what to say. She thought even Zhai Yanjun did a better job than her.
Clearing his throat, Zhai Yanjun called for the server and politely said, "Can you help us take a picture?"
The server was a young girl and was very enthusiastic, so she readily agreed when she saw the handso couple who both gave off a heroic aura. She thought they were very well matched so she clicked a couple more photos before giving back the phone saying, "You both look so good together."
"Thank you!" Zhai Yanjun said to her and looked at the photos she clicked. He finally looked satisfied. Without comparison, he already thought they had no sense for photography but with comparison, he realized just how worse they were. "Let's eat."
Xiang Wai humd in response and took the spoon to dig into the creamy richness before her. She already loved the appearance but now, she loved the taste even more and continued to spoonful unhurriedly. She seed to be enjoying it very much and Zhai Yanjun was left staring at her.
Shui Xian's words suddenly rang in his mind, 'Don't just think about things. You need to take a mont to shut your mind, slow down and just focus on that one person before you. You'll realize how blissful that mont is.'
Zhai Yanjun didn't understand Shui Xian when he heard that. But that wasn't anything new considering, he mostly didn't understand Shui Xian's emotional talk. However, today, he understood his aning clearly.
As he blocked out the rest of the world, and just focused on Xiang Wai in front of him, he really felt like it was the most blissful mont of his life. Everything was in slow motion around him. Everything was a blur and his focus was only on her who was so easily satisfied with just one dessert. Ah! No wonder Shui Xian said he knew nothing about Xiang Wai even after spending a decade with her. It seed he really was right when he decided to learn about her all over again.
In this re-introduction stage of their dating, they seed to be learning sothing new about each other.
"Do you want to try mine?" asked Zhai Yanjun.
"Can I?" Xiang Wai's eyes showed her eagerness to try. No matter how much she liked the flavor she was eating, she was still curious about the other flavors.
Zhai Yanjun took a spoonful and brought it to her mouth, Xiang Wai looked at his hand and then his eyes. Subconsciously, she opened her mouth.
Zhai Yanjun was happy to see that. Especially when she said, "Oh, yours is also good."
"You can eat mine if you want?"
Xiang Wai shook her head, "I shouldn't eat so may sweets in one day. What if I got a stomachache?"
Zhai Yanjun and ate slowly. anwhile, Xiang Wai was trying to control her expressions. She actually wanted to smile foolishly but she held herself back again. This is the first date, maintain your image, she kept reminding herself. But her heart was feeling so sweet, she was about to get diabetes already.
After eating the parfait, they ca out. The sun was already going down, so the heat wasn't as bad as earlier. "Should we go for a walk?" asked Zhai Yanjun when he saw that she looked very reluctant to end the date here. Not like he planned to end it here.
Xiang Wai agreed and extended her hand towards him and when she noticed how he looked at her hand, she asked, "It's okay to hold hands on the first date, right?"
Zhai Yanjun chuckled and held her hand. Intertwining his fingers with hers, he said, "Everything is allowed as long as you want it."
