Chapter 2494: A Story of Finding One’s Way Back (5)
Ye Mingmei looked into his sincere eyes, hesitated for a moment, then sipped the hot milk in her hand, "The food hasn’t arrived yet, but you can start talking slowly now. Keeping me in suspense, I have no appetite to eat."
Just as Ye Mingmei finished speaking, the waiter brought their steaks.
Bai Zheng said nothing, took the steak from in front of her, placed it in front of himself, carefully cutting it into small pieces, and then put it in front of Ye Mingmei, "Eat, while I tell you a story."
"..."
Ye Mingmei looked at the neatly cut steak, raised her eyes to glance at Bai Zheng, and after a moment of silence, reached for the utensils and began to eat.
She didn’t know why, but Bai Zheng gave her a very familiar feeling today, yet she couldn’t pinpoint where the familiarity came from.
Ye Mingmei ate her steak slowly, occasionally sneaking glances at Bai Zheng, waiting for his story.
But after a while, Bai Zheng still hadn’t started speaking, just quietly watching her, making Ye Mingmei feel almost overwhelmed.
Just before she was about to put down her knife and fork, Bai Zheng suddenly spoke.
"This story begins with a selfish and arrogant man." Bai Zheng’s thin lips moved slightly, his gaze perplexed, seemingly lost in deep memories and contemplation.
Ye Mingmei was stunned for a moment, her grip on the utensils tightening, swallowing hard, neither eating nor interrupting him.
She just looked at him quietly, noticing a hint of loneliness pass through Bai Zheng’s eyes, which made her heart ache.
Bai Zheng suddenly lowered his gaze, steadily watching her, "Have you ever liked someone without even knowing it yourself?"
