The aroma of delicious home-cooked food welcomed Lu Zihao as soon as he entered the condo unit. He closed the door behind him and started taking off his light coat. Long Jinjing came out of the kitchen in an apron while still holding a cooking ladle.
He observed how her expression changed as soon as she saw him. Her smile bloomed like a flower and it made something inside his chest feel ticklish or itchy—that kind of weird sensation.
"You're here!" Long Jinjing rushed to him and threw her arms around his neck.
He lifted her up and they kissed. There was no hot tongue action but he still sucked on her soft lips, tasting a little of what she was cooking. His mouth immediately salivated for dinner (food) and for dessert (her).
She was about to help him hang his coat but she heard a sizzling sound so off she went back to the kitchen.
"Phew, that was close!" he heard her exclaim.
