Carl regretted his decision back then. However, this was the first time he had truly realized what he had
missed.
The hotpot seasoning was boiling, and bamboo sticks with food attached on were stretching out. The
steam blurred their eyes, and even their expressions became indistinct under the lights.
Jessica saw Carl was just listening quietly and did not eat anything in the hotpot at all, so he said, "You
can help yourself now."
After saying that, she picked up a handful of bamboo sticks to see if the food was ready. She picked up
the cooked food and handed them to Carl.
Carl took them with lowered eyes.
Both Jessica and Carl were from rich families, and their friends were also rich.
Their rich friends used to be fastidious about food. They only ate in the high-end restaurants, and
seldom came to such small cheap restaurants.
Thinking of this, Jessica said, "Don't worry. The food is quite clean here."
Hearing this, Carl curled his lower lip and said, "Am I a dainty eater?"
"Aren't you?" Jessica put her chopsticks in the bowl and stared at Carl who was eating.
Carl upended the sticks into the bowl. He held the sticks in one hand and chopsticks in the other.
From the top to bottom of the sticks, he got the meat into the sauce bowl without spilling a drop of oil.
His move was quick and neat, and he was indeed a very decent eater.
Jessica studied in Hoover Film Academy. Whether she was in college or at work, she had seen plenty
of handsome men.
Most good-looking people, men and women alike, tended to get lost in the world filled with temptation.
They were proud of their beautiful appearance. So, they looked around with ambition for chances to
trade their beauty for shortcuts to success and fame.
Of course, some people cherished their dignity and focused on how to improve themselves. However,
over the years, Jessica had hardly met another man like Carl.
When Carl was a teenager, he was said to be a playboy. Apart from his handsome face and rich family
background, he was nothing.
However, he seemed to have some magic power that everyone, including Jessica liked him.
Even when he grew up, he was stilled regarded as a playboy, even now!
But after so many years, Jessica looked back and gradually understood why she liked him back then.
Because he was Carl! He would only live for himself, regardless of others' opinion on him.
Being oneself was the greatest charm of a man.
"It tastes good."
Hearing that, Jessica regained her senses and saw more sticks beside him shortly after.
Jessica glanced at him and said with a hint of pride, "Of course, when I was in college, I always ate the
hotpot here with Summer, so the boss still remembers me."
Carl grabbed the food from the pot, "Continue."
Jessica said, "What?"
Carl looked at her and said, "Tell me more about your college life."
"Why didn't you tell me about your college life?" Jessica raised her eyebrows, staring at him with
interest.
Carl paused for a moment, and then shook his head, "My college life was boring. There was nothing
worth sharing with you. I was either helping Leonardo earn money, or taking a class according to
school schedule."
Jessica curled her lip and said slowly, "Did you take classes with girls?"
