Zixin pursed his lips in disappointment.
Why was she so quick to say that it isn't a date? I didn't mind really.
Guiying didn't share his sentiments. Chyou was from a wealthy family, and she didn't wish for her to misunderstand their relationship. Thinking about what she witnessed after the Summit regarding Jun and Ai, she was vaguely more conscious of not getting herself too involved in matters related to heart and feelings.
Chyou blinked at her clear signs of nervousness. Guiying genuinely didn't seem to have any intentions to regard this as anything romantic. On the opposite spectrum, Zixin's shoulders had dropped as if he was in despair. She didn't know if he treated this as a date or not but even if he didn't, her answer clearly didn't sit well with him.
So he likes her but she doesn't?
Yating, too, felt an odd atmosphere. He tried to ease the heavy air. "That's fine too. The main point is to enjoy your meal. Food always comes first."
