Chapter 68 - Popcorn and Ice Cola = Double The Pleasure (4)
Yan Shuyu lied guiltlessly, “Boss Zhou looks like you are very good at enjoying life!” She even gave him a thumbs up to add credibility to her statement.
Naturally, Zhou Qinhe could tell that she was lying through her teeth, but he was happy at the compliment anyways. He chuckled and sat down next to her still having the double sized popcorn that was very much against his style in his hand.
There was still some time left before the movie’s start time. Yan Shuyu didn’t want to carry on with the nutrition-less awkward chitchat with the boss, so she decided to stuff herself with the food. She comfortably reached for the popcorn that was resting on top of the boss’s knees.
That had proven to be a superb decision. The popcorn that was roasted crispy with a thick layer of caramel on the outside was her favorite. She couldn’t stop eating once she started. As she was devouring the popcorn, she even said to the boss, “The popcorn here is amazing, you should try some too!”
Zhou Qinhe didn’t really buy the popcorn to “blend in”. He bought them because when he standing in line earlier for the tickets, he heard the girl behind him whining to her boyfriend that she wanted popcorn and thought Yan Shuyu would probably enjoy these types of snacks as well.
Even though everybody else said she was the model of a single mother, after their several times of contact, Zhou Qinhe had a pretty good idea of what she was truly like. Her nature was closer to a spoiled little girl. So, he figured she would like what other girls like, which was why he went straight to the popcorn booth after he got the tickets.
Even though he bought the twin set, he had the intention to try any of this. He didn’t even care about the coffee at the internet-raved Sunshine House, let alone these kinds of snacks. Yet, the girl was selling it to him so passionately. She had just put a handful in her mouth and had immediately reached back into the bucket. Her moist and red lips opening and closing right in front of him.
Watching her quietly, some other images suddenly flashed through his head, and he felt his mouth starting to get dry. He subconsciously pinched off a popcorn and popped it into his mouth.
Yan Shuyu stuck her head in front of him the very next second, looking like a grade school kid who was ever so excited to share what she liked most to a little buddy. Her look was full of pride as she said, “It was really good, wasn’t it?”
Zhou Qinhe licked his lips and wanted to loosen his tie for some more fresh air, but remembering the caramel sticking to his hand, put his hand down. Without giving anything away, he said, “It’s alright.”
“Then have some more. Don’t be shy. I can’t eat all these by myself!”
Under the constant nudging from Yan Shuyu, Zhou Qinhe couldn’t help but eat a few more. As his mouth was parched, he had no choice but to take a sip of the cola that he only got for show.
This being the first time he had ever tried anything like this, he didn’t think these were the best things ever. Quite the contrary, he looked at Yan Shuyu inquisitively. He had always been very confident in his self-control and never thought he’d one day be so curious about anything.
Yan Shuyu, on the other hand, was happily eating away with her head down and didn’t notice the look from the boss at all.
