1431 How did they end up here?
In the park on the street.
Song Chenxi and Gong Chen were sitting side by side on the bench.
Ever since that year, they had never sat together so peacefully.
The thick, arched green plants shielded the two from the scorching sun. The fountain sprayed water as usual, and droplets of water splashed in the air, rendered into fine halos by the sunlight.
Song Chenxi straightened her legs casually. Her smooth legs were thin and white.
Neither of them spoke.
Until …
A strange sound came from Gong Chen’s abdomen.
Gulp …
Song Chenxi looked at him with a subtle expression. Gong Chen’s cold face could not help but stiffen.
She stood up.
“Where are we going?”
In the next second, Gong Chen reached out and grabbed song Chenxi’s arm. He raised his head and looked at her.
There was awkwardness and nervousness between his brows.
Song Chenxi, on the other hand, lowered her head against the light and saw his expression.
She raised her hand and pointed to a place not far away.
Gong Chen looked in the direction of song Chenxi’s finger. His clenched fingers gradually loosened.
There was a food cart not far away.
When song Chenxi returned, she had a chicken roll set and ice cream in her hands.
“Let’s eat,”
She handed the paper bag with the set meal to Gong Chen and said in a faint voice.
After that, he sat back down and started eating his ice cream cone.
Gong Chen didn’t say a word. His deep eyes fell on the side of song Chenxi’s face. He watched her pinch the egg roll and lick the ice cream ball. For some reason, the corners of his lips curled up.
“In the future, even if you get busy with work, don’t forget to eat.”
Song Chenxi’s gaze fell into the distance. Gong Chen only realized later that she was saying this for him to hear.
Was she showing concern for him?
With this thought in mind, Gong Chen even felt that the cheap chicken roll in his hand didn’t taste as bad as before.
“This is my business.”
However, Gong Chen’s reply was still cold and indifferent.
The moment the words left his mouth, his fingers paused. However, the words that he had said were like water that had been poured out, and it was difficult to take them back.
But this time, song Chenxi did not argue with him.
He smiled and did not say anything.
Instead, she reached out to untie her hair, completely relaxing.
His long hair spread out like a waterfall, and a gentle breeze blew over. The ends of his hair brushed past the back of Gong Chen’s hand, bringing a burning effect.
He suddenly retracted his hand.
His actions were too big, but song Chenxi still ignored him. She just quietly ate her ice cream.
Gong Chen’s gaze fell on her from the corner of his eye.
When she spoke, he felt annoyed. When she didn’t speak, he felt even more annoyed.
Song Chenxi was too lazy to guess what the people around her were thinking.
Her pale lips licked the ice cream, just as she had wanted to do a long time ago.
“Is it good?”
Gong Chen looked at her expression. When he realized that he had spoken, it was too late.
Only then did song Chenxi turn her head to look at him.
His glass-colored pupils were filled with tiny bits of sunlight, and his entire face was filled with vitality.
“Won’t you know after you try it?”
Song Chenxi pretended to hand the half-eaten ice cream ball in her hand to Gong Chen.
It was as if she was certain that he would not eat it.
However, in the next second, Gong Chen opened his mouth and took a sip.
“……”
Song Chenxi’s expression froze in an instant. She looked at Gong Chen, whose lips had not left the ice cream ball.
The latter was also looking at her.
Time seemed to have stopped here.
No one spoke.
Xuanji, Gong Chen, just you wait! One day, I’m going to cure your mysophobia!
The memories poured in like a broken dam.
Song Chenxi looked at Gong Chen, her heart feeling as if it had been pierced by needles.
How did they end up here?
Gong Chen suddenly straightened his body and felt a headache coming on because of his inexplicable actions.
