After he brought a glass over, I reached over the railings and took it to pour him so wine. As he lowered his head, he appeared fixated on sothing. I had no idea if he was staring at the wine or sothing else. Noticing a few calluses on his fingers and wet ink on his wrist, I suddenly found this guy sowhat cute.
His eyebrows relaxed after tasting the wine.
I asked, It tastes good, right?
He answered, Its very good.
With a hint of joy, I said, This is my mothers brew, an exclusive and unique brew.
A gentle look appeared on his face as he said, No wonder, cheers.
I felt like he was a pleasant guy to be around.
I refilled our cupsboth halfway to the topafter he gulped down his first cup. Clouds quickly gathered around the sun to cover it, providing us with shade. We leaned on the railing and slowly enjoyed the wine as a breeze blew over us.
He asked, Did you co with friends?
I answered, No, I ca alone.
He looked shocked, probably because he rarely ca across girls that traveled alone.
After finishing his glass of wine in one go, he gazed at the sea while rubbing the wine glass with his finger before asking, Since you ca alone and need to have dinner afterward, would you mind if we sat together? We can talk more at dinner.
Even though I had only spent half an hour with him, my heart gently and briefly pound against my chest when he asked that.
It was not that I had not been hit on before; it was just that those previous guys were average.
Looking at the waters as well, I replied, Sure.
He smiled. I have to say, the way he looked down and smiled was very moving. A bright and clean smile that seed like wind blowing through a bamboo forest. To my surprise, my face felt warm so I had no choice but to turn my head away. Pretending to look at so scenery, pretending to be a mature and calm woman when faced with this kind of situation.
Yet, I saw a glimr of excitent in his eyes. This made think that he did not hit on won often. That was what my instincts told .
Shall we et at the restaurant entrance at five-thirty?
I felt my heart tremble slightly as I said, Sure.
I still dont know what your na is.
I looked him in the eye and said, Ill tell you when we et later.
After going through what to wear in front of the mirror, I ultimately picked a goose yellow dress. My mind kept replaying the mont when we were together, thinking about all the little details and every word he said. I could not help but ntally rehearse the things I would tell him when we t his evening.
My na is Tan Jiao. It's the Tan with the radical Yan, while Jiao is the character for bright.
[TL note: The character for Tan is written as ; the radical Yan refers to the left of the character for speak ]
What do you do? Hold on, let guess.
And ? Im a web novel writer. Have you heard of this profession? Since we dont know each other that well, I wont tell you my pen na.
This was the first ti I had such feelings about a man.
My ti on the ship felt slow and dull while I waited for five-thirty to co. Soon, I decided to go out for a walk.
Even though it was cloudy now, the picturesque scenery on both sides of the straits was still beautiful. Occasionally, I would co across guests that were taking pictures in the corridor. A well-dressed server smiled and nodded as I passed him. Walking with a spring in my step, I quickly took a few pictures on the deck before entering the restaurant.
After the welcoming party ended, there were still so guests who stayed behind, chatting and taking pictures in groups of threes and twos. After finding an area without anyone, I sat down.
I like to observe the people I encounter when I am bored. This is probably a habit I picked up as a writer.
For example, the young couple in front of , likely a couple because they had their fingers interlocked, and they had similar-looking rings on their ring fingers. The womans dress and shoes were brand new. Even though I could only see the sides of their faces, I could still determine that the man was the dominant one in this relationship. From the mans calm and indifferent smile to the womans longing look, all of these signs indicated what kind of relationship they had.
