Though there were not many words exchanged, this stillness felt neither oppressive nor uncomfortable in the least. Qin Xiao and Carolina sat opposite each other, silently enjoying the food on the table. Every dish, while not extravagant, was imbued with the comforting taste of home. Qin Xiao gently picked up a tender, juicy piece of meat, placed it in his mouth, and chewed slowly, savoring its delicate texture and rich aroma. Carolina gracefully lifted a vegetable with her fork and tasted it in small bites, as if she wanted to deeply engrave this delicious flavor into her memory.
Occasionally, Carolina would raise her head, her beautiful eyes meeting Qin Xiao's focused gaze. In that exact moment, time seemed to freeze, and everything else around them ceased to matter.
