“Promise me that you’ll be my girlfriend and I’ll tell you everything.”
The lady was taken aback. What a liar! This fella must be a liar!
Girlfriend? That must be wishful thinking on his part!
“Let go!” She was really upset this time so she pushed him away forcefully before running off.
Unfortunately, she got lost in the maze-like corridor and could not locate the exit despite searching frantically. Besides, she had followed him blindly and had not paid attention to the route.
Mo Jiangye kept an eye on her as he kept pace with her calmly.
“How do I get out?”
He replied brashly, “I’d like to know too.”
“YOU!”
All he wanted was to stay a little longer by her side. He just wanted to spend more time with her.
Ye Erruo started to panic when she realized that she was trapped.
GROWL! Her tummy started rumbling.
She had skipped dinner earlier and only had some light snacks before coming to this island. It was no wonder she was famished.
Cocking a brow, the man walked up and naturally took her hand in his.
Unlike before, he was confident that he had left a good first impression on her and was not concerned that his actions would backfire on him this time.
“What do you want now?” Her face blushed beet-red as she tried to shake his hand off hastily.
“I’m taking you to have some food.”
A puzzled look crossed her face.
He led her forcefully around a few corners and stopped in front of a window in the end.
The man pushed open the window shutters and easily leapt onto the window ledge. He then extended his hand toward her. “Jump up.”
“What are you trying to do?”
“You are hungry, right? If you don’t wish to follow me, you can try finding the way out yourself.” After saying that, he looked as if he was about to jump off the ledge to the other side of the window.
Alarmed, the woman grabbed his hand in a hurry. She didn’t want to be left behind on her own in this massive place! How on earth was she going to find the exit of this maze?
The man smiled to himself. With one swift move, his arm jerked strongly and hard to bring her, along with her giant bunny plushie, on the ledge he was on.
Then, he led her down into a room.
“Where is this…”
“Shhh…” His finger was cool to the touch as it was pressed lightly against her ruddy lips.
She obeyed the signal and stayed quiet.
He brought her further down the room, where they saw a long table with a feast spread across it.
Suddenly, they could hear footsteps approaching and the man quickly pulled the woman to hide behind the huge pillar beside them without hesitation.
“Don’t say a word,” he whispered.
After three minutes or so, the crowd in the room slowly dispersed.
The man led her to the table speedily so they could sit. “Aren’t you hungry? Come on, have dinner now.”
The lady stared at him with an incredulous look on her face. “Where is this place? How did you know there would be food here?”
Besides, who were those people? Will they come again?
“I’ll tell you if you agree to be my girlfriend,” he replied with a half-smile on his face.
“That’s wishful thinking on your part.”
“Yes, indeed.”
The woman was silenced by his cheeky reply.
“Have dinner now, Baby Ruo, and be quick about it. These people will come back soon.” He placed the prawn that he had deshelled for her on her plate.
The woman was too astonished for words. How did he know that I like prawns? Is it a coincidence?
Then, he picked all her favorite dishes for her before settling down to deshell the prawns one by one again.
“I can get my own food. I have hands and chopsticks.”
“Your arms are too short to reach some dishes.”
The table was at least ten meters long, and some of her favorite dishes had been placed out of her reach.
“You only have ten minutes. These people will return.”
“How do you know that?” Her interest was piqued by now.
He looked up and gave her a teasing smile while saying, “I’ll tell you whatever you want to know if you promise to be my girlfriend.”
