Lanhai's face was flushed enough to steep a teapot, especially as the steaming dumplings had just been served because Lin Xia had actually chosen to sit at the same table with them—right by his side. Happiness had arrived so suddenly, like an unheralded, beautiful dream, leaving Lanhai somewhat at a loss. He cast a covert glance at Lin Xia beside him. Her waterfall-like, soft hair draped over her shoulders, swaying gently with her every movement, each motion seeming to pluck at Lanhai's heartstrings.
At this moment, Lanhai found Erduo to be entirely redundant. On his left sat the beast-like, powerfully built Erduo, while on his right was the breathtaking Lin Xia. The presence on the left was genuinely bizarre and completely ruined the mood. Still, Lanhai felt quite content. He happily ate his dumplings, though his mind was entirely detached from the delicious food as he pondered what topic to bring up next—one that wouldn't seem abrupt yet could enhance their mutual affection.
While lost in thought, he rather awkwardly popped a dumpling into his mouth. After swallowing it, he finally mustered his courage, wore a slightly nervous smile, and said, "By the way, um... Liner, after we finish eating, how about I take you to check out the Yanhuang Safe House?"
