"Sweet, eat up, I want to know how it is" Jin Yue was quite anxious to know what she would say about the food.

Xin Yong smiled and ate a spoonful. She smiled at him and took another spoonful.

"How is it?, it must be terrible right? " Jin Yue asked picking up his spoon ready to eat.

"Haha, not at all, it's very tasty, you should eat up"

Xin Yong smiled and took another spoonful but didn't put it in her mouth, she waited for Jin Yue to eat.

Jin Yue smiled, happy that he had prepared something nice on his first trial, and happier that she had liked it. He took a spoonful of the fried rice but the taste spoke otherwise.

'SO MUCH PEPPER AND SALT!!'

His face turned red and almost immediately Xin Yong who had been pretending all along reached for a glass of water and gulped the full glass.

Jin Yue couldn't speak till he had gulped about two rounds.

They both panted heavily and immediately burst out laughing.

"Sweet!!, You said it was tasty?" Jin Yue exclaimed in between his laughter.

"Awnn, pretty face, wasn't it tasty enough?, we could add more salt! " Xin Yong replied and they laughed at her joke.

They disposed of the 'extra tasty meal' and Xin Yong made chocolate pancakes which they ate with chilled orange juice.

After the meal, Xin Yong did the dishes and after wiping her hands she stepped into the parlour, wanting to tell Jin Yue it was time for her to leave.

Jin Yue was sitting on a sofa, busy with his laptop. When he saw her approaching, he closed it and smiled at her.

"Jin Yue, thank you for the clothes and stuff.... "

She paused as she thought of how to continue.

"I really had a nice time here, the remaining stuff is in the room..."

She wanted to tell him to tell her how much he had spent on those stuffs but she sensed it would be quite rude, and it was not as if she had enough money to pay for them, so she chose to leave that out.

"It's time for me to go.. "

She smiled and held her phone tightly. Virtually the only item that belonged to her at that moment.

The room became a little tense. Jin Yue's smile froze, he had almost gotten used to her, but she was leaving too soon. He clenched his jaw for a while before glancing up at her.

"Okay, I'll drop you off, you can take everything with you, ... it's for you "

"No" Xin Yong answered almost immediately, she realized her abruptness and quickly clarified.

"I mean, they are too much, and you've done so much for me already, I don't want to owe you so much.."

"Sweet, you don't owe me anything, I just.. "

"No, Jin Yue, nothing is free on planet earth, tell me what you want from me"

Xin Yong cut him off before she could even stop herself. She regrettably bit her lower lip at her foolishness.

'What if he asks me to sleep with him?', she couldn't do it, so what was she thinking!

"Sweet, I don't want anything, like I said, I just want to court you "

Xin Yong's shifted her gaze to his face, her expression a bit sad.

"You want to court me or you want to sleep with me, which exactly?"

She didn't even know when she said that, the words had already escaped from her lips before she could stop them.

Jin Yue was surprised at her sudden boldness. He looked at her for sometime and kept the laptop aside and stood up.

"Sweet, like I said before, I would never, and I repeat never touch you without your permission, I promise"

She looked into his eyes, it appeared to be sincere, she didn't want to believe him. But her heart was saying otherwise.

"Jin Yue, do you realize what you are saying?, you would date me without touching me? is that even possible... "

Her voice derailed. It was obvious she had fallen for his charm. She couldn't even pretend anymore.

"I promised, you can sue me if I break it"

Jin Yue smiled at her. One thing he was sure of was his charm. He knew he was charming, which woman wouldn't want him!.

Xin Yong blushed, her brain fell asleep all of a sudden and without thinking, lost in admiration of the beauty before her, she agreed.

"Okay.. " Smiling sheepishly.

"So can I get my girlfriend's number now?"

Jin Yue asked still smiling at her. She chuckled and called out her number, which he saved in his phone.
