"To eat," answered Ling Yichen smoothly. Before Ling Chuxi could answer, he added, "Together." His tone presented this invitation as if it were a fact.
"If you're treating, then sure!" blurted out Ling Chunxi awkwardly. 'What a reaction. Who am I right now?' Ling Chunxi wondered to herself.
"All right then." Ling Yichen's words were as precious as gold. It'd be a waste to say no to a meal when someone else has offered to pay! Ling Yichen led the way with Ling Chunxi eagerly trailing behind.
Both of them took their seats within the same private dining room. Ling Yichen ordered a few dishes, and then Ling Chunxi ordered more without feeling the need to be particularly courteous. A trace of astonishment flashed through Ling Yichen's eyes when Ling Chunxi removed her hat, but he didn't say a word.
