Brendon didn't like it when she brought up Jedidiah.
Sure enough, Brendon's eyes sank slightly and his tone was not very pleasant as he said, "Haha! You and your brother have a lot of memories together!"
Sour.
Ranita didn't hear it clearly and lowered her head in silence, feeling guilty.
They rented a tandem bike, with Brendon in the front and Ranita in the back, making it easy for her.
After a round trip, they went to return the bike.
Ranita noticed that Brendon was sweating on his neck, so she helped him buy a bottle of water. She also selfishly bought herself an ice cream.
Just as she took a bite, Brendon pressed down on the back of her neck.
"Aren't you on your period? Why are you still eating cold things?"
Ranita felt guilty and blushed, "It's too hot!"
"Just a little bit? Okay?" Ranita's tone was soft and sounded like she was being coquettish.
Brendon squinted and said, "Then you can only take one more bite."
Ranita looked at the ice cream she had just bought and felt extremely distressed. "But it's so expensive! It's such a waste to throw it away after only two bites!"
Brendon looked at the ice cream and then at her pink lips. He took the ice cream and said, "I'll eat it!"
Ah?
Ranita thought she had misheard!
What she had eaten, Brendon said he wanted to eat? Ranita's mind felt dizzy like a firework exploding, and her heart followed suit with brightness.
"Do you want to eat? But don't you... not like these?"
"Wasting is shameful!" Brendon paused and urged her to take a bite of the ice cream, placing it near her lips. "You can at least have a taste!"
