Chapter 6: Dinner Together
Lin Qin felt his whole body burning up. He stammered a few sounds, then hurriedly changed the subject, "Did the materials... get delivered yet?"
Yesterday, when they went to buy construction materials, the shop owner promised to deliver them first thing in the morning. They only had today to complete the renovation, so time was tight.
Meng Chao wisely decided to pull back for now to avoid embarrassing Lin Qin further. Taking half a step back, he said calmly, "Should be here soon. Let's wait a bit."
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
Just as Meng Chao's words landed, the honk of a truck sounded at the door—the delivery from the construction materials market had arrived.
Lin Qin's face lit up as if he'd been pardoned. He bolted toward the entrance, saying, "I'll go check."
Meng Chao stared at Lin Qin's retreating figure, flustered and escaping hastily. No matter how he looked at it, Lin Qin resembled a little white rabbit that had just run into a big bad wolf—unexpectedly adorable. Meng Chao couldn't help but chuckle softly, then quickly followed.
Though Lin Qin had used the arrival of the truck as an excuse to run outside, when he was truly face-to-face with the delivery staff, he found himself a bit overwhelmed and unsure of how to approach them.
"Let me." Meng Chao walked past Lin Qin, his broad palm gently brushing over the top of Lin Qin's head—a light touch, then gone.
Lin Qin tilted his head to look at Meng Chao. His gaze followed the tall figure as it moved, watching Meng Chao skillfully interact with the workers. His demeanor was polite and refined, completely devoid of the aloofness expected of a film star.
