Chapter 428: Beautiful
Su Li cracked open a red egg, peeled half of the shell, and handed it over: "You should have been eating longevity noodles with an egg, but the noodles couldn’t be made in time. So, have this egg first."Under the night sky, Su Li saw his eyes filled with tenderness, accompanied by a gentle smile carrying hints of starlight, exceptionally beautiful, enough to make someone’s heart race.
Feng Huaijin took it and started eating.
There wasn’t much difference from an ordinary boiled egg, yet he somehow tasted a hint of sweetness, lingering on his tongue, gradually slipping into his heart, feeling somewhat warm.
Su Li sneaked a glance at her phone’s display, then asked Feng Huaijin mysteriously, "Do you know why I chose this place?"
Feng Huaijin looked around at the desolate surroundings, only mountains and forests as far as the eye could see, the fresh air making one feel elated. Feng Huaijin chuckled lightly, "You plan to do something inappropriate to me?"
Su Li: "..."
Nonsense!
Su Li stared at him with irritation, but then, after another glance, her round eyes suddenly sparkled.
Behind Feng Huaijin, through the thick darkness, a piece of starlight streaked past, leaving a beautiful yet instantly dull tail.
Su Li exclaimed with delight, "It’s time, look at the meteor shower!"
The restaurant at the mountaintop here is the best place in Jiangzhou Prefecture to watch the meteor shower.
Standing at the peak of the mountain forest, looking up, it seemed as if one could grab a star with their hand.
Su Li gazed at Feng Huaijin, who seemed to be enveloped by the boundless night, surrounded by clusters of meteors, looking incredibly handsome.
Watching the meteor shower, Feng Huaijin suddenly recalled the female employees at his company discussing the meteor shower earlier today, though he was focused on his evening date with Su Li...
One meteor after another streaked across, lighting up the lonely night sky.
Su Li loved watching the meteor shower, her eyes fixed on the distant night, not noticing the person in front of her staring at her.
Su Li tilted her head back, asking, "Do you think it looks good?"
Feng Huaijin looked at the girl blending into the night in front of him, and a low laugh escaped him, "It looks good."
Su Li also thought it looked good. She rubbed her now sore neck, looked at Feng Huaijin, and said, "Let’s start eating!"
Su Li looked at the dishes on the table, estimating that she probably had only one-tenth of senior brother Rong Chu’s skills?
Feng Huaijin picked up his chopsticks, tasted a bite, and laughed under Su Li’s expectant eyes, "It’s very delicious."
Su Li saw Feng Huaijin eat the food with his head down, seemingly enjoying it, his demeanor elegant.
Su Li’s eyes lit up, and she smiled with pride, knowing it wasn’t bad!
Although senior brother Rong Chu was profoundly disappointed with the experimental dishes she had made many times.
Su Li took out a small yet delicate box from her paper bag, gently pushed it in front of Feng Huaijin, and said, "Feng Huaijin, happy twenty-fourth birthday, this is your birthday gift."
Feng Huaijin was momentarily stunned, recalling Su Li’s previous errand to buy yarn.
The smile on Feng Huaijin’s lips hadn’t faded all night. He reached for the box, gently opened it, and inside was actually... a wristwatch?
Not a scarf, not gloves?
A trace of surprise flashed in Feng Huaijin’s deep eyes.
Su Li pulled his left wrist over: "Let me put it on for you — do you have a watch?" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelhall.com
Su Li was momentarily stunned when she saw the black watch on his wrist. Did he normally wear a watch? Why didn’t she remember?
Su Li looked at the understated yet undoubtedly expensive watch on his wrist, then at the seventy-thousand-dollar watch she bought, and fell into silence.
It probably...doesn’t compare, does it?
Feng Huaijin glanced at her, stretched his other hand over, unceremoniously took off the watch on his wrist, tossed it onto the table, and extended his arm toward her, "Put it on."
