Neil was momentarily dumbfounded at what just happened that it took him a few seconds to recover. He was rewarded with a kiss because he had said that she was prettier than his ex-girlfriend.

Looking at the satisfied smile on the woman across from him, Neil let out a chuckle.

That's right. When your girlfriend asked you who was prettier, you should always tell your girlfriend that she was prettier. It was common knowledge. But in the past, her darling had teased her and said things that make her want to beat him. Therefore, Edith was not expecting that he would say right away that she was prettier.

Perhaps it was because Edith was slightly younger than him, or perhaps it was because she spent a lot of time surrounded by kindergartners, but Neil found that Edith can be quite playful. The two of them had different personalities but Neil thought that this difference made him very comfortable around her. 

Neil continued to eat his noodle when he heard her voice again.

"Tell me the truth," Edith paused and waited until he lifted his head to meet her gaze. "How many times have you been in a relationship?"

Neil stared back at her curious gaze and answered. "Twice before you."

"Twice is a lot," Edith commented. "It turns out that you were not exactly an ice block after all."

Neil shot her an angry look, but the woman merely laughed at him. Now that they are in a relationship, this silly woman was no longer afraid of him when he gave her this look.

"The first one was during high school. We are in the same club. The members started to pair us together and we just go along with it. In the end, we broke up a few weeks before we graduated. According to her, I have never treated her like how a boyfriend should have."

Edith heaved a sigh. "I don't know whether I should be jealous that this girl was your first love or pity her for having a teenage Neil Mo as her boyfriend."

His movement paused. Neil thought that his high school romance could not be considered a romance and that girl was not his first love. Just because they spent a lot of time together and everyone had said that they were compatible, he had decided to go along with that play.

Now that he thought about it, their usual 'date' was only when they met together to discuss their club activities. On the surface, she was his girlfriend, but they were not really in a relationship.

"Then, what about the second?" Edith asked. 

Neil raised a brow at her. "Are you sure you wanted to hear me talking about other girls?"

"What other girls? It's not them that I'm interested in. I am interested in knowing your past." She hesitated for a while and continued, "But if you did not want to say it, then, that's alright. I won't ask."

"The second one was three years ago," Neil spoke after a brief hesitation. "She was a friend of Adam and Claire."

"Then, who did the chasing?"

He glanced at the woman in front of him and was slightly disappointed that she was not a little bit upset.

Neil fought against the temptation to lean forward and take a bite at her cheek to vent his frustration. In the end, he lowered his gaze to the noodle bowl.

"She said she liked me." He stirred at his now soggy noodles and continued, "Seeing that she was very close to my brother and sister-in-law and that she had a good character, I agreed to go out with her. But in the end, we broke up because she had a change of heart."

When he looked up again, Neil was surprised to see that his silly woman was looking at him with an excited expression on her face. He had just mentioned to her about his past relationship, why was she excited?

Moreover, from the words he used, anyone could sense that it was the girl who had left him. His silly woman did not show her pity and instead, was very happy about it.

Neil soon found his answer when Edith spoke again. 

"Darling, does that mean that I am the first person you've chased?"

Neil was startled at first. He thought over her words and his lips tilted into a smile. "I guess you could say it like that."

Seeing how the smile on her face stretched up until her eyes resembled a crescent, Neil wondered if his silly woman would be disappointed if he mentioned her drunk confession. 

On second thought, Neil decided that a drunk confession could not be considered a proper confession. Under the influence of alcohol, one's mind was not in the best condition. Therefore, he should not count that as a confession. 

"Then what about you?" Neil pushed the bowl aside and propped his elbows on the table. As he leaned forward, the space between them decreased. "How many times have you been in a relationship?"

"Just once," Edith admitted.

"Was he good looking?"

Edith laughed at his question. "Darling, can anyone be compared to you?"

A satisfied smile curled on his lips.

Edith let out a long sigh and spoke again, "At that time, I was slightly drunk, so I told him that if I can beat him in a fight, he should be my boyfriend." A smug smile appeared on her lips. "I took him down in ten seconds and he had no other choice since I won the bet. After being in a relationship for half a year, we decided that we were both suitable as friends. We just did not like each other that way."

A slight frown appeared on her face when she sensed that something was wrong. Neil's sharp eyes told her that he was upset. "Darling, what's wrong?"

They were casually mentioning each other's past relationship, and Edith could not figure out which part of her words had made him upset.

Could it be that her darling was upset that it was she who took the initiative to chase after someone else?

"Edith Qian, you are not allowed to drink without my presence," Neil said after a long silence.

He was upset at hearing that she had once confessed to another boy while she was drunk. Not too long ago, she had told him that she liked him due to the influence of alcohol. He did not think that she had done the same to another man.

"Why not?"

"I'm afraid that you would confess your love to another man when you're drunk."

Edith stared at him in a puzzled. "But, I don't have a habit to give out a confession when I'm drunk."

Edith Qian, are you sure?

Neil felt the corner of his lips twitched. "Just don't drink without my presence." He patted at her hair and sighed. "Listen to me.. Be good."
