Upon seeing Xiao Chifeng's stern expression from the corner of his eye, Kan Jun quickly waved at Shen Qingcong with a smile, "No need to thank me, no need at all. I am leaving now. Enjoy your meal!"
With that said, he darted away.
He was scared that if he didn't leave now, the boss, who is known for his revengeful character, would hold this against him. When he thought of the ruthless punishment and torture they experienced since childhood from the boss, he couldn't help but shudder in fear.
Once everyone was gone, Xiao Chifeng, satisfied, took Shen Qingcong by the hand and walked to sit down at the table.
After they were seated, he took the warm, damp cloth that the waiter had prepared and carefully wiped her hands clean.
Blushing, Shen Qingcong watched him dote on her, "Big brother Xiao, let me do it!"
"No need, I can do it!"
Did he really refuse to let her do it herself?
Shen Qingcong blankly watched the Xiao Chifeng being gentle and attentive in front of her, completely different from his usual self. She couldn't help but wonder if she was dreaming? Why else would the dynamics between her and Xiao Chifeng suddenly change?
Initially, their interactions resembled a drill sergeant training a recruit.
But now, she had quickly become the "little sister-in-law" his childhood friend often talked about, and he didn't deny it. Not only did he let Kan Jun address her as such, but his actions also gave her the feeling that he considered her as his woman.
The rapid change in their relationship caught her off guard.
Moreover, this whole situation was developing in the direction she had always fantasized about. It was so wonderful and perfect that it felt unreal. It made her feel as though she was floating on a cloud, afraid that any moment she would fall and shatter into pieces.
She longed for his love, but also feared that everything would become void.
After Xiao Chifeng wiped her hands clean, he looked at Shen Qingcong who was staring at him with a complex expression. He looked at her steadily and asked, "What's the matter?"
Shen Qingcong gave him a soft smile, "Nothing! I just want... to look at you!"
Xiao Chifeng noticed the smile on her face, and his heart tightened. The sudden overwhelming desire to possess her was growing stronger, making it hard for him to control; he yearned to hold her close and cherish her deeply.
He diverted his gaze and didn't ask again, he just started dishing out food for her, "Eat!"
All the dishes on the table were Shen Qingcong's favorites.
Through these small details, Shen Qingcong fully felt Xiao Chifeng's careful consideration for her.
Of course, he had been taking care of her for three whole years. It wasn't only today that he had been so attentive; he had always taken great care of her in every aspect during these years.
Shen Qingcong slowly ate the food he dished for her, feeling utterly blissful.
After finishing a dish, she noticed that there were other foods in her bowl. This process carried on –he served, she ate– until she was full and refused to eat any more. Only then did Xiao Chifeng put down his chopsticks and asked, "Are you really full?"
Shen Qingcong nodded vigorously, "I am really full!"
Seeing that he had barely eaten anything while taking care of her, she naturally felt bad for him. She served some food into his bowl, and cheerfully said to him, "Now it's my turn to take care of you. I'll serve, and you'll eat. You're not allowed to refuse..."
Xiao Chifeng looked at her deeply and started to eat slowly.
He actually had OCD, but in the face of her rare signs of affection, even if there was poison in the bowl, he would still eat it.
