Chapter 270

~4 min read 609 words

Seeing that it was already noon and not a single customer had come, Eclair wiped the plates in utter boredom, a hint of disappointment showing in her eyes.

However, that little bit of disappointment vanished the moment Lin Cheng appeared, replaced by a flush of red as she lowered her head.

Although, as time went on, Eclair had gradually begun to open a corner of her heart to Lin Cheng, she was still shocked by his sudden kiss.

So much so that she still hadn't fully recovered, and upon seeing Lin Cheng, her heartbeat accelerated completely beyond her control.

On the other side, seeing Eclair's slightly flushed little face, Lin Cheng's somewhat weary mood instantly became much more at ease.

"It's already noon and you're only just getting up — how are you getting lazier and lazier?"

Watching Lin Cheng walk up to the bar, and considering that Mengmeng was still asleep, Eclair complained in a small voice.

"It's just that there haven't been many customers lately, so I happened to want a bit more rest."

Hearing this, Lin Cheng replied with a smile.

During this period, the script had just entered its final and most crucial stage, and Lin Cheng had been so focused on the script's movements that the time he got up had also grown a bit late.

But this was just right — since the last time, Lin Cheng's sudden assault had caused a qualitative change in the relationship between the two, but it still needed time to adapt, to get used to the transformation in their relationship.

He often appeared before Eclair, and although for Eclair it had no real impact, she still felt a little uncomfortable with it, more or less.

Moreover, regarding his feelings for Eclair, Lin Cheng was in no rush; this period happened to let him use the time to steer the script, while also giving Eclair a little time to ease into things.

And so, Eclair, who was gradually falling in love, did not notice anything unusual about Lin Cheng.

Under Lin Cheng's deliberate guidance, Eclair's thoughts instantly shifted to another matter.

"Yeah, it seems something's been happening outside lately, looks pretty chaotic — I hope it doesn't affect this place."

Although, because of Lin Cheng's influence, Eclair had gradually set down the burdens of her past, whenever she heard news about mages, her mood would still sink uncontrollably.

"It's fine, don't worry."

Seeing a trace of worry surface once more on Eclair's lovely face, Lin Cheng reached over, took her soft, boneless little hand, and said gently.

"I'm here, I'll be with you."

Almost in an instant, seeing her little hand seized by Lin Cheng, Eclair's face flushed red with a whoosh.

However, this time Eclair didn't make any reaction at all — she merely lowered her head in silence and let Lin Cheng hold her hand.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still.

In that extremely quiet world of two, Eclair could even hear her own gradually quickening heartbeat.

"Mm~"

This situation continued for quite a while, until the moment Mengmeng woke up that Eclair finally withdrew her hand.

"It's getting late, you two must be hungry — I'll go make lunch for you."

With that, under Lin Cheng's gaze, Eclair walked into the back kitchen, her face flushed with shyness.

Watching Eclair's reaction, Lin Cheng also let out a soft chuckle.

It had to be said, compared to the Eclair of their first meeting, Eclair had undoubtedly undergone a tremendous change — and that was exactly the change Lin Cheng wanted.

"Looks like the day I get to feed her by hand isn't far off."
