"..." Nie Xiaoxing had just sat up straight in her seat, and when she suddenly heard him say that, she froze for a moment.
"There's a park downstairs from the apartment building. Why don't we eat there?" Lu Zhiquan seemed not to notice Nie Xiaoxing's uneasiness, his tone as gentle as always.
Nie Xiaoxing drew a shallow breath and forced her lips to tug up. "Okay."
Lu Zhiquan looked at Nie Xiaoxing through the rearview mirror, clear laughter flickering in his eyes.
...
On a bench to one side of the park, Lu Zhiquan took the takeout dishes out of the bag one by one and laid them out on the bench.
Nie Xiaoxing helped him open the lids of the meal boxes. "Why did you buy so much?"
Lu Zhiquan blinked at Nie Xiaoxing. "I didn't eat dinner."
"..." Nie Xiaoxing lowered her lashes and didn't say anything else.
Once everything was set up, Lu Zhiquan and Nie Xiaoxing sat on opposite ends of the bench.
Lu Zhiquan handed her a lunch box and a pair of chopsticks.
