She felt an ache in her heart. She then took a few steps forward and looked at the dessert in the rubbish bin. She began to feel a foodie’s anger boiling up in her blood in that instant.
She caught sight of Yan Chengchi moving his hand toward another plate. Xia Changyue had a fast reaction this time.
She blurted, “I like it, I like it very much.”
“Whoosh.”
Yan Chengchi loosened his grip, and another plate with its contents went into the rubbish bin.
Xia Changyue stood there stiffly, and she extended her in an attempt to save the food.
He didn’t have to waste food even if he didn’t want to eat them. Xia Changyue liked them if he didn’t.
Xia Changyue’s cheeks were all puffed up, and her face was flushed with anger when she saw the food in the rubbish bin.
He wasn’t really asking her if she liked the food. He was torturing her deliberately.
After that, Xia Changyue could only stare helplessly as the great President Yan dumped each and every dish on the long dining table into the rubbish bin.
Someone would immediately come up to change a new rubbish bin when the current one was full.
Everything on the table was disposed of, except the last dish. A plate of crayfish.
Xia Changyue looked fixedly at the crayfish. Her dainty body couldn’t help but move forward. She instinctively wanted to go over and snatch up the plate of crayfish.
That was her favorite. If Yan Chengchi didn’t want to eat them, he could give them to her. She wouldn’t mind at all!
When Yan Chengchi saw that her body was almost touching the table, and his eyes glistened as it began to clench his hands into fists.
It was such a coincidence that the last dish happened to be crayfish…
He knew she loved crayfish. One might say she was obsessed with it.
He remembered that there was a trendy crayfish restaurant beside their school. No matter when they decided to go, it was always a full house.
It was her birthday that year. Yan Chengchi could neither afford a cake nor roses. She said to him while smiling, “I do not care about all that stuff. You just need a serving of crayfish to win me over.”
He stood in the long queue with her that day. They finally managed to get a serving of crayfish then it rained suddenly on their way back.
They both didn’t bring an umbrella. They ran all the way back, totally wet to their bones.
He looked at her nervously, terrified that he might see a tinge of disappointment on her face.
However, all he saw was the sight of her holding a serving of crayfish as she sat on the steps of the school building. She was looking at the rain that was steadily getting heavier as the clock ticks. Her innocent and beautiful face showed a contented smile.
“Yan Chengchi, with you by my side and my favorite crayfish, this is the best birthday I ever had!”
That year, she looked like a carefree little princess, and he was a poor nobody. Nevertheless, she told him he was her best birthday present ever.
However, she discarded him, her best present ever, shortly after that.
The gentleness in Yan Chengchi’s eyes was slowly taken over by a frostiness when he recalled what happened four years ago. He looked at Xia Changyu, who was protecting the crayfish, as he began to curl his lips into a smirk and spoke.
“Come here. De-shell the crayfish for me.”
“…”
Xia Changyue heard him speak and subconsciously thought he would throw the crayfish away. She immediately moved forwards and raised the plate.
She was stunned at the very next moment.
She lowered her gaze to look at the crayfish in her hands and raised her head to look at Yan Chengchi.
Did she hear him correctly? He would not throw them away?
However, making her de-shell the crayfish and not eat them seemed like a greater form of torture.
Xia Changyue ambled toward him with the plate of crayfish in her hands. She put on a pair of gloves and started to de-shell the crayfish.
He ate one as she de-shell one.
