While she was teasing her brother-in-law, Lu Zhen had filled her bowl to the brim with her favorite foods. She also picked some of the foods he liked with her chopsticks and placed them in his bowl.
"Eat more." She said as she looked up at Lu Zhen sitting next to her and smiled at him.
Lu Zhen was mesmerized by that smile and almost forgot to eat.
The others watching this scene felt happy for the young couple. Especially for Lu Zhen who had waited for so many years for Leng Pan to finally look at him.

Leng Pan was starting to get anxious as the minutes moved towards seven o’clock. After seven days of nonstop shopping, she finally stopped and the inevitable was about to happen.
Lu Zhen, feeling the shift in her emotions, took her hand in his and squeezed her a little to reassure her. It was as if he was telling her that even if the sky fell, he would protect her.
She turned to look at him, and the moment she saw the firm light in his eyes, she instantly felt safe. Yes, this man could even give his life to protect her, why should she be anxious?
