CHAPTER 173

Ning Xiaozhi raised her head after she was sure that her face were no longer hot meaning she was not blushing again. But her angry glare still remained and her left cheek was puffed.

"If you keep doing that I am going to continue teasing you," he referred to her puffed cheek. Ning Xiaozhi immediately made her cheek return to normal as she did not want to undergo that embarrassment of earlier. She continued eating her cake and decided to ignore him instead. Ye Chaoxiang saw through her act and just smiled. He sliced another piece for her and placed it on her empty plate.

"Are you sure you do not want to eat a piece of the cake?" She still asked.

"Yeah, I am good. I am not really a fan of sweets. Also this is my thank you gift to you," he said.

"Huh? What are you thankful for?" She asked. Ning Xiaozhi do not remember doing anything for him that he gave gamer a cake as a thank you gift.

"I am thanking you for being my friend and agreeing to go out with me even if it just a friendly date," he answered simply.

"What is there to be thankful for? You also agreed to be my friend and the date. So we are even," she said nonchalantly.

"You really are not like other girls."

"You got that right my friend. Here," she placed a forked piece of cake close to his mouth. "Just have a bite. I promise you will love it. It taste heavenly. Come on."

"Alright," he said and accepted the cake into his mouth as his eyes were fixed on her, then he chewed.

Ning Xiaozhi was surprised for a bit. Ye Chaoxiang has eaten from the fork she has also being eating from. He even did that while looking at her. They had indirectly shared a kiss.

'Does this guy not know that his eyes are seductive? I can't believe.' She mused in her head. She shook away her thoughts and focussed on his s reaction to the cake. Seeing as Ye Chaoxiang still had a straight face, she decided to ask for his thoughts on the dessert.

"So? What do you think about the cake? Do you like how it tastes?"

Ye Chaoxiang remained silent for a while and said, "I am not quiet sure of the taste yet to know if I like it or not."

"Huh? Are you being serious?"

"Hmm. I can still taste the food we had earlier. Maybe that is the reason why I can't taste the specific flavour of the cake," he said still in a straight face.

"Sigh. Here... Have another one. It will definitely wipe out the taste of the food," she fed him another piece, oblivious to the scheme Ye Chaoxiang had in his head. Ye Chaoxiang was smiling inwardly at his perfect excuse to he gave to make Ning Xiaozhi to feed him again.

"So? Did you get the flavour and so you like the taste?" She asked expecting a clear answer this time around.

"Hmm. It taste nice and soothing to the tongue. It is soft no doubt. I like it," he gave him evaluation.

"See I told you so. Here have your own piece and enjoy with me," she copied him a action of cutting a piece for him as well.

"So, you have not told me about yourself like I did."

"What do you want to know? You ask and I will answer," he sipped from the wine glass.

"Okay. Then tell me your best colour, birthday and favourite place and your hobby."

"My best colour is black or white. Uhm, birthday is the 9th of April. My favourite place is anywhere that is filled with nature, silence and healthy fresh air. Hobbies? Uhm... I have a lot but I really love travelling, swimming and sports," he answered.

"Okay? Other than your choice of best colour, I like everything else. Next question says, what do you hate?"

"Pretentious persons, I hate it when a person goes against my words especially when I am being protective of that person. Also, sometimes I have been ignored like given a silent treatment. I, like you hate lies," he listed his hates.

"Then lastly, arguments," he finalized.

"Oh I love arguments. I love arguing with people that think they know too much or more than me. I like it because that way, u can put the person in their place," she smiled.

"I do not like it at all. Arguments is a temper testing stuff. And once I get in too deep, I tend to overreact. It makes me do or say stuff that I might not mean to say," he explained.

"You are such a peacekeeper. Anyways that is a good thing," sg said then raised her wine glass.

"Let us have a toast for getting to know the basic stuffs about each other as friends and to our successful first friendly date," she said.

"Sure. A toast to our new friendship," he raised her down glass.

Clink!

They hit their glasses together and drank from the wine glass. After resting for a few minutes, Ye Chaoxiang called the waiter in and settled the bill before they left the restaurant. They continued their chit-chat on the way back to Ning Xiaozhi's apartment.

On getting there, they both alighted from the car and Ye Chaoxiang walked her to her doorstep like a proper gentleman escorting a noble lady back to her parents, safe and sound.

"I really enjoyed myself tonight and it is all thanks to you," Ning Xiaozhi said and stood in front of Ye Chaoxiang with her back close to the door if her apartment

"Yeah me too and you are welcome. I am also glad to know that you liked it."

"Hmm"

Then an awkward silence ensued between them. Ye Chaoxiang let out a long sigh as it was already time for him to leave. How he wished he could be with her longer. He enjoys her company and Ning Xiaozhi felt the same.

Happy Valentine's Day guys.
