Chapter 324

"Let you have a taste."

"Mm."

The moment the words fell, Mengmeng could not wait any longer, picked up a bite, and sent it into her mouth; the instant it entered, Mengmeng's entire eyes lit up.

"So delicious!"

Seeing Mengmeng reveal a face full of satisfied smiles, Lin Cheng then shifted his gaze toward Eclair~.

"Do you like the food I made?"

Seeming to sense a gaze watching her, Eclair subconsciously looked toward Lin Cheng, meeting those dark yet bright eyes.

Perhaps recalling the moment the two of them had leaned against each other and fallen asleep under the shade of the tree, her cheeks reddened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she lowered her head in slight embarrassment.

"Mm."

"Mm? What does that mean?"

Lin Cheng did not let Eclair off the hook like that, but sat down beside her and pressed further, and with those deep eyes, it was as if he was asking something else entirely.

"Like it."

"Like what?"

Lin Cheng continued to ask, the deep meaning in his eyes growing thicker.

"Like what you make…"

Just as the words reached the halfway point, Eclair suddenly noticed the mischievous smile on Lin Cheng's face, and instantly knew she had been tricked.

Recalling what she had just said, and with Mengmeng still right there, Eclair's face turned so red she wished she could find some place to hide.

"Eclair…"

Lin Cheng's magnetic voice helped distract her a little.

Forcibly enduring the dizzy feeling, Eclair looked at Lin Cheng with puzzled eyes, only to see him suddenly lean close to her ear and, in a voice only the two of them could hear, speak softly.

"I like you too."

"…………"

"Thump—!!"

As if a string had snapped, the intense dizziness made her body tremble slightly.

In a daze, it seemed one could even see a wisp of faint white steam rising from the top of Eclair's head.

"What are you two talking about? I want to hear too! I want to hear too!"

The secret conversation between the two could not be hidden; although most of Mengmeng's attention had been drawn away by the delicious food before her, she still noticed the little exchange between Eclair and Lin Cheng.

"This is a secret between me and Eclair, I can't just tell anyone, but if Eclair is willing, then I don't mind."

In this situation, Lin Cheng naturally, without the slightest hesitation, handed this little trouble called Mengmeng over to Eclair to deal with.

"Eclair, you can tell her, right?"

After the fire was redirected, Mengmeng's pitiful little gaze also turned toward Eclair; if this were the Eclair from before meeting Lin Cheng, she might have refused without the slightest hesitation.

But now, her once-firm heart had already been completely softened by Lin Cheng, and paired with Mengmeng's adorable appearance, how could Eclair bear to refuse?

But with that one sentence from Lin Cheng, how could Eclair, whose face was still very thin-skinned, possibly say it out loud?

For a moment, Eclair fell into such an extremely conflicted state, while Lin Cheng snickered on the side.

The joyful night was both long and short.

……

The next day,

A pale fish-belly white floated up on the eastern horizon, and the earth gradually brightened.

As soon as it was light, Eclair and Mengmeng dragged Lin Cheng out to go shopping.

Now that the new house was only a little bit away from being finished, naturally they had to buy some new furniture.

Although the small town where Lin Cheng was located was somewhat remote, it still had everything one could need.

The commercial street was not far away, only a few hundred meters from the little tavern; a few streets and they were there.

It had to be said, shopping is a woman's nature; at first Eclair was still a little reserved, and only let loose after Lin Cheng persuaded her, but the ensuing situation was clearly something Lin Cheng had not anticipated.

Tables, sofas, refrigerators, wardrobes and other furniture, then the rest of the electrical appliances, and even clothes and so on…

In one morning, the things Eclair's group of three bought could practically be piled into a small mountain.

Fortunately, Lin Cheng and the others were all people who were not short of money.
