“I don’t see even a trace of sadness on your face…” Feng Bujue said.

“And I can only see coffee stains you didn’t wipe off.” Ruoyu said, reaching out with a tissue to wipe Jue-ge’s left cheek.

“Ah, thanks.” Feng Bujue kept his head still and responded.

“Don’t misunderstand,” Ruoyu continued expressionlessly. “I just noticed that after I splashed coffee on you, a lot of people were looking over here, so I’m putting on an act to save you face.”

“Oh… that, you’re overthinking it.” Feng Bujue smiled. “Actually, from the moment we entered this shop, a lot of people have been looking over here. It’s all because of your looks; it has nothing to do with you splashing coffee on me.”

“I’m really sorry for looking like this…” Ruoyu said, withdrawing her hand.

“It’s not just about your looks; your figure too…” Feng Bujue laughed playfully and let his gaze drift downwards.

“Do you enjoy staring at me through my clothes like this every day?” Ruoyu glared at Jue-ge.

“It’s fun.” Feng Bujue joked. “But… judging by your tone, do you have any ‘more fun’ ideas?”

“I do.” Ruoyu replied. “Stabbing out your eyes, chemical castration… those are all pretty good ideas, right?”

Hearing this, Feng Bujue’s smile deepened: “Heh… have you noticed that your tone is very similar to mine right now?”

“Heh… what a joke, how could I…” Ruoyu trailed off, her expression freezing, because she suddenly realized that the tone of that half-sentence was indeed very much like Jue-ge.

“See?” Feng Bujue shrugged. “I noticed it in the script a few days ago… when you argued with me before, although your wording was sharp, your tone was slightly lacking. But now… you’re really sharp-tongued and aggressive.” He leaned back in his chair. “And you’re only like this when you’re interacting with me, or when we’re alone together.”

Before he finished speaking, Ruoyu fell silent.

A full minute later…

“Waiter!” Ruoyu suddenly turned her head and called out to the waiter who was closest to them.

The waiter was a young man in his early twenties, and he had long noticed the two lunatics at this table… one with a smile on his face, the other with a cold expression, chatting, splashing coffee, and after the splashing, both of them had the same expressions as before, talking and laughing as if nothing had happened…

“What can I get for y…” The young man walked over quickly and said mechanically.

Ruoyu interrupted him rather rudely, “Please bring two more of the same, thank you.” Her speed was very fast, and she sounded slightly annoyed.

“Okay.” The waiter responded and removed the two cups and retreated as quickly as possible.

“Hehe…” Jue-ge glanced at the young man who had been scared away, then turned to look at Ruoyu and smiled, “Looks like… someone is embarrassed into anger.”

“I can’t argue with that.” Ruoyu said softly. “I’m a bit depressed.”

“Compared to depression…” Feng Bujue said, “It’s mainly shame, right…”

“The coffee that’s coming will be hot.” Ruoyu glared at Jue-ge with a displeased expression. “So you better restrain the excited glint in your eyes.”

“Alright~” Jue-ge changed his face instantly, immediately putting on his usual listless expression. “I won’t mention this again, you pay attention to it yourself… Of course, if you can’t change it, I don’t mind.”

“Hmph…” Ruoyu didn’t respond, just sighed unhappily.

Due to her annoyance, a flush of pink climbed onto her fair cheeks.

In the real world, Jue-ge was seeing this sight for the first time. To be fair, Li Ruoyu’s appearance, whether in the eyes of a lover, an enemy, or even a eunuch… was undeniably beautiful.

“Huff…” After another period of silence, Ruoyu seemed to have made up her mind. She took a deep breath and then said in a deep voice, “After dinner tonight, don’t leave, come home with me…”

Without mentioning Feng Bujue’s reaction, the waiter just happened to be walking to their table with the coffee as Ruoyu said this.

“Here’s your coffee.” The young man’s expression and movements were obviously a little stiff. He quickly put down the two new cups of coffee and then scurried away as if he had heard something he shouldn’t have.

“Come… home with you?” Feng Bujue replied, pretending to be calm. As he spoke, he also pretended to be relaxed and casual, reaching out to take a cup of coffee in front of him, but his slightly trembling hands caused a high-frequency clinking sound between the bottom of the cup and the saucer, instantly exposing the chaos in his heart.

“There’s something… I want to give you.” Ruoyu had completely recovered her composure at this moment.

“Uh…” Jue-ge held the coffee and didn’t move for a long time. “Your parents don’t have any objections, do they?”

“What does it have to do with them?” Ruoyu replied. “Besides, my room isn’t even on the same floor as them. If you sneak up with me, they probably won’t even know you’ve been here.”

“Something that can only be seen in your room…” Cold sweat poured down Jue-ge’s face.

“Yeah.” Ruoyu responded calmly.

Hearing this, Feng Bujue froze for another ten seconds, then fed himself a mouthful of coffee with his trembling hand: “Can I ask… what is it…”

Something flashed in Ruoyu’s eyes: “Saying it here…” A hint of shyness flashed through her cold tone, “…isn’t very convenient, is it…”

“Hey!” Feng Bujue roared in his heart, “What’s with this development! It doesn’t seem like acting… From the time you were teased by me to the time you said ‘come home with me,’ what kind of mental activity did you go through!”

On the other side, Ruoyu’s words continued: “Well… strictly speaking, it was originally yours, and I’ve been keeping it for you for many years. I think it’s time to give it to you…”

“Pfft—” Feng Bujue directly spat out a mouthful of coffee, but fortunately, he didn’t spit it on Li Ruoyu’s face, but on the floor next to him.

“Hey… what are you doing…” Ruoyu said with narrowed eyes.

“Uh cough… ah cough, cough… cough cough…” Feng Bujue really choked, he coughed violently for a while, and when he caught his breath, he said, “N-nothing…” He paused for a moment, “Speaking of… why did you suddenly think of giving me… that…”

“It can’t be said that I suddenly thought of it.” Ruoyu said, “I wanted to give it to you many years ago, but I just never had the opportunity. When I first met you in Thriller Paradise, I also had the urge to give it to you directly, but later I hesitated a little, so I’ve been dragging it out until now.”

From beginning to end, she was speaking in a very ordinary tone… but Feng Bujue was completely shocked.

“Heh… hehe…” The corner of Jue-ge’s mouth twitched, and he chuckled a few times, “Alright… since you have this kind of awareness, then I’ll accompany you to the end…”
