"No need to change. There are no men's shoes at home," Sienna replied softly.
"Alright, as you say," Rex's lips curved into a joyful smile, although Sienna didn't catch sight of it.
He still held the takeout Sienna had ordered, and the two of them sat down on the sofa in the living room. The TV was playing the variety show Sienna had been following recently.
When they were at the doorway earlier, they didn't feel awkward or embarrassed, but now that they were sitting close on the sofa, they became aware of a slight uneasiness.
Sienna kept her head down in silence, and Rex took the initiative to speak, "Aren't you hungry? Let's eat first!"
As he spoke, he reached out to open the takeout box. It was only a single portion, meant for Sienna.
He pushed the food in front of Sienna and nodded slightly, gesturing for her to start eating.
Sienna didn't immediately pick up her fork. Instead, she looked at him and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"I'm not hungry. You go ahead and eat, and I'll have some later, alright?"
He raised an eyebrow slightly, his handsome face showing a gentle expression.
Sienna nodded and then began eating with her chopsticks. She was indeed hungry, as she hadn't eaten lunch. Recently, she had been staying at home all the time, mostly having two meals a day. Her routine was completely reversed, and every day felt like aimless wandering. She hoped that by emptying her mind and adjusting her emotions, she could figure things out.
Sienna ate quickly. Because Rex was here, she put down her fork after eating only half the food. Today, she had ordered spicy chicken and sweet and sour pork, along with a soup and some vegetarian dishes. She enjoyed eating spicy and sour food, and each dish suited her taste. If Rex weren't here, she would have finished it all.
After setting down her utensils, she picked up a tissue and wiped her mouth before preparing to cover the leftovers.
At that moment, Rex's voice broke the silence. He asked, "Are you full?"
"Yes."
Rex didn't say anything else. He picked up the fork and the takeout box without hesitation and started eating.
Although everything was clean, and there was no mess from eating, Sienna was still taken aback by his actions.
Sienna asked, "Why are you eating it?"
"Aren't you full? It's a waste to throw away what's left," he said, continuing to eat heartily. It took him less than half the time it took Sienna to finish.
After tidying up the food containers and throwing them in the trash, he picked up Sienna's glass and drank half of the water.
After completing this, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere remained quiet.
They sat quietly like that, aware of each other's presence only in this peaceful way, for who knew how long. Eventually, the man's low and hoarse voice broke the silence, "Is there something you want to tell me?"
Sienna pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.
She took a silent deep breath, her face showing a somewhat tentative expression as she looked at Rex and asked softly, "Did you come to Flento just to deliver takeout to me?"
"Of course not. If I wanted to deliver takeout, I could have found a delivery person or a courier, right? Why bother coming in person?" Rex's gaze was fixed on her, noticing her evasive eyes. He then asked, "We haven't seen each other for only a few months. Have you become unfamiliar with me?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure. I just haven't seen you in a long time, so I'm not sure how to face you. And..."
"And what?"
"And haven't we agreed that I would deal with things here first before going back to Hance? So why did you come in person?" She arched an eyebrow, her eyes carrying a faint smile, her expression and manner returning to her previous attitude towards him.
