Steve Burton stared intently at Ruby Gregory, his face very close to hers, and his warm breath sprayed on her face, making Ruby feel uncomfortable all over.
In the afternoon, it was because she had to perform for Mr. Robbins, so she forced herself to endure it.
But now, she felt as if her face was about to be burned by his breath, and for the third time, her heart began to pound with a mixture of excitement and shyness.
This unfamiliar feeling made her wish she could stand up and run away immediately.
Her breathing gradually became unstable, and her face began to redden. Seeing so many people around her, she feared her feelings would be revealed. She glanced anxiously at the pork ribs soup in front of her and remembered his question about why she only drank soup. She said casually, "This soup is very light, would you like to try some?"
Upon hearing Ruby's voice, Steve's long eyelashes flickered for a moment, and then he nodded at her, his response slightly gentle, "Alright."
