Chapter 293: A Date With Laofen (End)

"You were right about it. This makes me wanna laugh." Laofen muttered as she and Kai were currently watching a pair of people sitting on a bench near a beautiful lake inside the city.

According to Kai, the two people were on their first date here and things were extremely awkward.

Both the boy and the girl didn't know what they should do and were staring at the lake intently. The boy then cleared his throat as he spoke something to the girl.

"I have been wondering about this for a long time but have you ever had a boyfriend?" He asked the girl as her cheeks turned red and she shook her head.

"Then would you like to be..." The boy began saying but suddenly hesitated as the girl's eyes widened a little.

"Do you think he will say it?" Laofen asked Kai as he shook his head.

"Do you want me to give him some confidence?" Kai asked as Laofen thought about it before nodding.

Kai then smiled as his eyes flickered back to his original eyes for a moment before turning into his angel eyes.

Though they vanished after a few moments as he and Laofen then looked at the couple.

"Will you like to be my girlfriend?" The boy manage to ask even though his voice was still shaking a little.

The girl remained quiet for a few seconds before she took a deep breath and nodded. The boy's expression suddenly perked up as he raised his hand forward in her direction.

The girl raised her hand in retrospect and grabbed his hand as both of them were shyly smiling at each other.

"Let's go Laofen." Kai said with a small smile on his face as he and Laofen stood up and moved away from the place.

"Hey Kai, do you want to eat some sweets?" She suddenly asked as Kai shrugged before nodding.

"Do you have any particular place in mind?" He asked as LAofen nodded and pointed towards the east direction.

A few meters away from where they were standing was a sweets shop which was crowded to the limit.

But seeing the shop, Kai had a small smile on his face.

"I don't know whether you chose that shop by coincidence or you knew about it before but all I can say is that you will be surprised." He said to her before both of them moved towards the shop.

"Excuse me, sir, you need to get in the line." The person at the reception said to Kai as he and Laofen were directly moving inside the shop.

They had directly broken through the line and were now at the reception but Kai only shook his head as he rummaged inside his pendant and took out a scroll which looked ancient but was still in good shape.

When the person saw the scroll, he instantly got terrified. He quickly bowed down to Kai and gestured for him to stand aside from the crowd.

"Please wait for some time esteemed sir. I will go and get the owner right now." The receptionist said as he hurried inside the shop.

It was divided into three floors where two of the floors were for everyone while the top one was for special people.

The receptionist quickly got the owner and they got down to the lower floor as he pointed the owner in Kai and Laofen's location.

"Do you know who Jiang Jengyun was?" The owner asked as Kai handed him the scroll and nodded.

"Jiang Jengyun was a local sweet seller who had created a very special type of dessert but it wasn't selling well. One day, a couple bought the desert from him and both of them ate it together and told him that it was an especially good desert for a couple. And after they left, he decided to open this shop. 

They had come back one day to see this shop and the man had recognized them and had given the two people a scroll each. That scroll contained the secret to making the desert since the man owed everything to the two people." Kai explained as the owner suddenly bowed down while clutching the scroll tightly.

"And now this recipe is back in our hands. I will personally create this dessert for you since I am his direct descendant. Take them to the top floor and make sure that they are comfortable." The owner said as one of the staff took Kai and Laofen to the top floor.

He then gave them a seat near the window so that they could see the entire town from there.

"What was the dessert?" Laofen asked as soon as the waiter had been dismissed by Kai.

"You have to wait to see it yourself. After all, it's a small surprise from me." Kai said with a wink as Laofen seemed restless.

Even though she liked surprises, she hated to wait for them. But after a few minutes, the dessert finally came.

"What is this thing..." Lauren muttered the moment she saw the dessert.

The desert was a small lollipop with multiple colors as Laofen looked baffled. The waiter dropped the plate with the lollipop on their table and left.

"Don't say that this is just a lollipop. Take a small lick and they say anything." Kai said as Laofen nodded and held the lollipop.

She extended her tongue out and gave it a lick as her eyes widened.

"That's..." Her eyes turned mystified as the lollipop was completely different than what she had imagined it to be.

"It is a special lollipop that will taste like the thing you love the most in the world. This might feel a little gross but couples are supposed to lick it one by one and when they reach the end of it, their flavors mix together to give rise to something completely new." Kai explained as Laofen slowly nodded.

"Did you eat with my sister in such a manner?" Laofen asked as Kai shook his head.

"We had bought to lollipops. You can eat this alone. After all, I don't have an appetite right now." Kai replied as Laofen's raised her eyebrows.

"Then what will you do till I finish this?" She asked as Kai grinned.

"I will see you eat this." He replied as Laofen wondered whether he was joking or not.

It turned out he was half-joking.

As she slowly licked the thing, she saw him looking at her face while he would look outside for some time. 

But after she had finished it, the owner had come to ask them whether they liked it or not. After telling him that it was extremely good, Kai and Laofen left the place.

"Kai, how did your first date ever go?" Laofen asked as Kai smiled.

"It was extremely awkward. If I look back on it now, I might die from embarrassment. But one thing I can say is that such small things make living worth it." He replied while staring at the sky.

"There's one last place I would like to take you." He said and grabbed her hand as they appeared at a high point.

He then sat down on some rocks and gestured for her to sit down too as both of them looked at the night sky.

The stars were extremely clear in the sky as Laofen smiled and took Kai's hand in her hand.

"I really enjoyed today's day." She slowly whispered in his ear as he smiled slightly.

And they sat like that for a long time.
