Chapter 551: Chapter 551
The waiter seemed prepared beforehand. As soon as Shi Che signaled, she stepped forward, took out a lighter, and lit the candle on the table. The moment the candlelight flared up, all the lights in the restaurant went out, leaving only the flickering candle flames, and the atmosphere instantly transformed.
Ling Chuxia was slightly taken aback; she had completely not expected this turn of events.
Following that, the waiters streamed out one by one, bringing the dishes to the table sequentially. Even though the arrangement was Western-style, all the dishes served were Chinese cuisine and, moreover... every dish was one she liked.
Ling Chuxia stared blankly at the dishes, her mind briefly in disarray, wondering why she suddenly felt... that this meal... was deliberately for her?
However, how could that be possible? They were here to meet a client after all...
"Shi Che, this dish..." Ling Chuxia puzzled inside, but somehow she ended up asking.
Shi Che’s hand tightened slightly, and his eyes subtly revealed a hint of repression, but his voice was very calm and indifferent, showing no signs of peculiarity, "What about the dish?"
Ling Chuxia looked up at Shi Che, his handsome face bore a normal expression, and his tone was usual too. Ling Chuxia could detect nothing amiss, and her inner doubts were gradually suppressed back down, she lightly smiled and slowly shook her head, "It’s nothing."
Ling Chuxia made a small noise of agreement and picked up her chopsticks.
It had been a very long time since she had a proper meal with Shi Che . Although they had been together these days, they had mostly been working and didn’t have this simple mealtime together, not to mention before.
Ling Chuxia reached out, picked up a dish, and placed it in Shi Che’s bowl, softly saying, "You eat too."
Shi Che nodded, directly picked up the dish, and put it in his mouth. Watching him, Ling Chuxia’s heart slowly swelled with sweetness.
Sometimes happiness is really very simple, as simple as quietly eating a meal with the person you deeply love.
Happy moments always seem to pass especially fast. Ling Chuxia felt it was just a blink of an eye before the food was all eaten by the two of them, leaving not a drop remaining. Ling Chuxia somewhat didn’t want this meal to end just like that.
Then, Shi Che suddenly spoke from across the table, "Want to listen to a song?" Follow current novᴇls on novelꜰire.net
Ling Chuxia was taken aback and slightly lifted her eyes, "What?"
Shi Che hooked his lips, lifted his chin, and pointed toward the piano placed at the center of the restaurant.
Following his gesture, Ling Chuxia looked over there, understanding his intention, and almost incredulously asked, "You... you’re going to play the piano?"
"Uh-huh." Shi Che nodded directly, then stood up, striding with long legs toward the center of the restaurant.
Ling Chuxia was completely astonished; she had not expected Shi Che to suddenly take such an interest, as it had been a very long time since she last heard him play the piano.
However, after the surprise, Ling Chuxia was filled with anticipation. After all, Shi Che had been the "Piano Prince" during his school days. Whenever he played the piano in the music room, with the afternoon sunlight, dressed in a white shirt—an elegant and handsome young man, his delicate and beautiful fingers dancing and leaping on the piano keys, he dazzled the time and had dazzled her too.
Shi Che reached the piano, sat down, and placed his fingers on the keys. The music slowly started playing, but when Ling Chuxia heard the melody, it felt like something struck deep in her heart, violently trembling.
He was playing "Dream Wedding"...
