"Or, do you want to come to my apartment?"
Yuchen's invitation caught Elena slightly off guard, causing her to flinch. It was an unexpected offer.
Seeing Elena's surprise, Yuchen quickly clarified, "I mean, if you fancy some home-cooked food. I can whip up a meal for you. I believe I still have some groceries left in my apartment." He flashed a warm smile her way.
Yuchen remembered when Elena had mentioned to his parents that he could cook for her if she fancy some home-cooked food. It had genuinely made him feel good.
He knew she was probably just using it as an excuse, but the idea of her trying his cooking genuinely pleased him. He was confident she'd enjoy it.
Elena didn't respond immediately to Yuchen's offer. She regarded him with a suspicious expression. Just moments ago, he had nearly kissed her, and now he was inviting her to his apartment?
