Zhou Yiren looked at his handsome smile which made her heart race since it was the same smile that Luke would give her.
Back then, she wouldn't even come close to men because of her horrible past but she changed after entering the otome game world. She didn't think much of her past now since that world helped her move on from it, that's why this time, the hate she has for men was reduced.
She looked at him and smiled. "I'll see through it if you really mean those words. For now, lets not waste our food, okay?"
Yun Shen sighed in disbelief. "You're spoiling the moment by using the food as a reason."
She pouted. "I'm really hungry you know."
"Okay, okay, I won't stop you from eating." He sighed before he returned to where he was earlier.
Zhou Yiren started eating her steak happily and Yun Shen ended up watching her with his chin on his palm. He didn't touched his food since he was not that hungry in the first place. "Do you want to have mine?"
She paused and faced him as she blinked a lot. "Eh? Aren't you hungry?"
"No. I ate something on my way here." He reasoned out. He pushed his plate in front of her.
"Hm, if you say so. I won't say no to food." After eating her share, she started eating Yun Shen's share.
"So, Yiren, when do you want to get married?" Yun Shen asked, he looked like he was in a good mood just by watching her eat.
Zhou Yiren paused and thinks, if she didn't have a two years limit in this world, she would like to marry him after a year or two, or maybe not at all, but she needs to rush things because of her life span. "What do you think?"
"The sooner the better but I'll follow whatever decision you want." Zhou Yiren was different from the girls he dated that's why he didn't want to force her into anything. He feels like if he made one mistake and hurt her feelings, she'll disappear in front of him. He didn't know where he got that feeling but he knew better than to ignore his instincts.
She took the napkin and wiped her lips before she opened her mouth. "If that's the case, how about a month from now?"
Yun Shen didn't expected that she would suggest to get married to him in a month. He knows that girls always prefer to go in a longer process, date for who knows how long before getting married to that man.
Noticing the look on his face made her smile, he really was a good man. She only realized this one time in the game world. Everything that Yun Shen did for her wasn't because he has some motives towards her but it was all because of the kindness pf his heart even if he was a player.
"I'm serious. Even if we prolong this, what else could change between us? I trust you and you are now my fiance, our feelings will grow for each other once we get married." She explained. "So it really doesn't matter to me if we get married so early."
Yun Shen didn't know how to react. Should he be happy? Of course he should! He will marry at once just like what he really wants, he will be able to make her his once and for all.
He smiled as he reached out and held her hand. "Then we should tell this to our parents later."
"Later?" She didn't pulled her hand away from him since the warmth of his hand put her at ease.
"Yes, they'll be coming here to meet us and see how things went between us. They'll be arriving in an hour from now."He rubbed her hand with his thumb.
"I see..." She whispered as she stared at their hands for a while before she tried in thinking something that could keep them in talking. "Hey, Yun Shen, why did you went to medschool when you know that you'll be taking over your family's business?" She tried changing the topic.
Yun Shen never told anyone about the reason why he wanted to be a doctor but it has been so long since then. It was not a secret but he just didn't like talking about it. "I wanted to fulfill the dream of my younger sister. She wanted to be a doctor but... she died before she can even enter high school."
He had a sister? Zhou Yiren never knew. "I'm sorry..." She held his hand back this time.
He smiled a bit. "It's okay. That was a long time ago..." It sadden him whenever he thinks about his deceased sister but there was nothing he can do about it but to live and see the future for her.

Fei Yujin went to get herself drunk to ease up the pain in her chest.
Yu Huiqing would spend every night with her and he even agreed when she said that she doesn't want him bringing any girls in the house. She finally thought that Yu Huiqing was finally realizing her feelings for him and that he was finally showing some care. Until one day, When she woke up early that morning, there was no sign of Yu Huiqing... again.
She decided to give him a call this time. When she called him, she didn't heard his voice but instead, upon hearing a woman's voice from the other line, she quickly ended the call.
Didn't he said last night that he wanted to spend the day with her? Didn't he promised her last night that they were going out for a date today?
Her hope and happiness was trampled on the ground by none other than the man she loves the most. She didn't know how long she cried but when she finally calmed herself, she wanted to invite one of her friends to go out for a drink. Knowing that Zhou Yiren was meeting her fiance today, Fei Yujin didn't want to spoil her date. That's why when her cousin came to visit her, Fei Yujin invited her to go out.
Han Komei accompanied her to the bar and watched her get drunk. Fei Yujin wasn't able to notice the hatred in Han Komei's eyes. She always envied Fei Yujin. She would always top everything in class, she was a beautiful woman that everyone loves, she was even able to marry Han Komei's idol and crush! Her parents would always compare her to her cousin which made Han Komei hate her.
She was always waiting for this day to ruin Fei Yujin. Finally, after Yu Huiqing will know that Fei Yujin has cheated on him, he will leave her!
The bar belonged to Han Komei's family that's why every worker in that place knows her.
Han Komei took a glance at the bartender which the bartender nodded upon her signal.
She turned back to Fei Yujin who kept on gulping the alcoholic drinks she ordered. Han Komei could see how drunk she was which made her smirk.
The bartender placed another drink near Fei Yujin which she ended up grabbing and gulping it in one go. "Am I not good enough for him?! I tried everything to please him so why don't he love me?!"
Han Komei gently rubbed her back as she put on a worried face. "You're drunk, Feifei. Come, I'll bring you home." Then she turned towards a man who just entered the bar. "Excuse me."
When the man turned to Han Komei, she was surprised by how good looking he was. She wanted to stare longer at him but she was brought back when she was hugged by Fei Yujin. "I just want you to love me..."
Han Komei ignored her words before she turned back to the tall and handsome man that was staring at the red haired girl that was hugging her. "Can you please help me carry my cousin back to the room upstairs?"
The man raised a brow. "Why not bring her home?"
Han Komei was a quick-witted woman that's why she was able to come up with something in an instant. "If her parents learned that she went out drinking, they will definitely scold her..."
