"I want to eat with you." Zac lifted the corners of his mouth elegantly and smiled at her like a moonlight breaking through the darkness. And just like that, Essie's obscure and cold heart felt a touch of innocence and warmth.
"I want spicy lobster," Essie said as her eyes twinkled with excitement.
"Okay!" Zac nodded without hesitation.
"You don't even eat spicy food. Why did you reply so decisively?" She pouted and glanced at him.
"I want to eat with you," Zac said with a smile before touching her white nose. There was nothing but infinite love in his eyes.
In the lobster shop...
Aside from the lobster, Essie also ordered some light food for the man who didn't like eating spicy food.
The moment the dishes arrived on their table, Essie immediately picked up a lobster and began to enjoy it, spreading oil all around her mouth and not caring about her image as a lady. In spite of this, she looked absolutely adorable in Zac's eyes.
After she finished eating, Essie smacked her lips and looked at the man sitting opposite her. "Ice guy, you have been taken back to earth from the moon," she said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Zac said, raising an eyebrow at her.
"You see, when we first met, you didn't eat roadside stalls, didn't eat any food in the market, didn't go to crowded places, and didn't strike off any price. You were such an otherworldly beauty. But now, you can go to restaurants to eat lobster, go to the vegetable market and the night market with me, and even cut the money with me. Have you been changed by me?" Essie explained and asked.
Zac laughed while shaking his head.
The only reason he agreed to go to the market with her was because he was worried that she might be unable to carry all the groceries. Aside from that, he also didn't want her to come home all alone. He did other things just to amuse her. Her smile, whether it was day or night, was one of the most charming things he had ever seen with his two eyes.
He didn't want her to know the truth, so he just smiled and said, "You have influenced me a lot. I've been influenced by you."
Essie giggled and picked up a steamed lobster for Zac. "Eat it quickly. As long as it's something I have eaten before, you can rest assured that it wasn't cooked with ditch oil," she said.
Zac's handsome face was full of mockery. "You really are the best partner to have when eating. Not only are you good at eating, but you are also good at testing poison."
