Chapter 439 - 417: My Turn to Chase You
Dudu walked in, casually found a place to sit down. It was still quite early before the agreed time, the other person had not arrived yet. Shen Yiran naturally sat across from her, then raised his hand to check his watch, signaled the waiter over, and asked Dudu, "What would you like to eat?"Dudu looked at him and said, "There’s something that makes me lose my appetite. I can’t eat."
Shen Yiran pretended not to understand, directly said to the waiter, "Two servings of the signature steak, and a glass of pineapple juice." Then he asked Dudu, "Anything else?"
Dudu ignored him and didn’t make a sound, so Shen Yiran handed the menu to the waiter.
"What do you mean by this?"
Shen Yiran raised his eyes to look at her and said lightly, "I thought you weren’t speaking to me."
"When I wanted to be with you before, you avoided me like the plague. What’s this now? No one chasing after you anymore and you can’t get used to it?"
He nodded seriously, "It’s really hard to get used to... without you."
If it had been before, Dudu might have fallen for his words again. But now, she just gave a self-deprecating laugh, "Do you think a few sweet words will make me shamelessly stick to you again?"
"No." Shen Yiran said lightly, then looking at her seriously said, "I know you have changed."
"Good that you know. I don’t eat steak or drink pineapple juice anymore."
"Is that so? Then you’ll have to make do."
The waiter served the steak. Shen Yiran picked up the knife and fork, elegantly cut the steak into bite-sized pieces. When he had cut the entire piece, he handed it to Dudu, "Just eat a little."
Dudu looked dissatisfied but eventually picked up the knife and fork, and put the pieces of steak he had cut into her mouth one by one.
While cutting his own steak, Shen Yiran looked at her and said, "Your eating manners have become elegant."
Dudu paused, as if deliberately going against him, suddenly stuffed large pieces of steak into her mouth, making her cheeks bulge with sauce all around her lips.
This time, however, Shen Yiran didn’t ignore it like he used to. Instead, he smiled indulgently, reached out and with his fingertips wiped the sauce from the corner of her mouth. Dudu hurriedly moved back, raised the back of her hand to her mouth, staring at him wide-eyed, as if she found his action incredibly surprising.
Shen Yiran naturally took a napkin, wiped his hand, and continued eating.
Dudu chewed the meat in her mouth while observing him, feeling that he seemed a little different from before. At least, the old him would never voluntarily be around her, let alone eat together.
Unless she took the initiative and clung to him, he wouldn’t even give her a second glance. But now, it seemed like he had become a different person.
Dudu finished the glass of pineapple juice, wiped her mouth, and said, "Alright, this meal is on me. You can leave now."
Shen Yiran slowly ate the food in front of him and asked her lightly, "Are you afraid I’ll disrupt your blind date?"
"No matter if it’s true or not, do you have a reason to follow me?"
Shen Yiran paused and said, "I just want to follow you."
"Shen Yiran, do you know what you’re saying right now?"
"I know very well."
Dudu frowned, somewhat helpless and angrily, "What exactly do you want? Do you think I am fun to play with? Do you want me to be like before? Staying beside someone who doesn’t love me, shamelessly chasing after him?"
Wen Yan, Shen Yiran sighed lightly, put down the utensils in his hand, and seriously looked at her, "No, this time... I’ll be the one chasing you."
