Sharing Dreams with My Bestie’s Cousin
Chapter 153 - 153 He said he dreamed about it

Chapter 153: He said he dreamed about it Chapter 153: He said he dreamed about it Wen Zhi responded with a smile, as long as she didn’t look at Shang Hexing, her complexion remained very natural, “Thank you, Aunt Lin.”

After putting down the dish, Aunt Lin passed the chopsticks to Wen Zhi, “The dishes are almost ready, Miss Wen, please have a taste.”

“Okay,” Wen Zhi received the pair of chopsticks.

Aunt Lin also thoughtfully filled a bowl of soup for Wen Zhi and then went to serve Shang Hexing opposite her, but Shang Hexing declined and poured himself a glass of warm water instead.

Wen Zhi held the chopsticks, looking at the table full of delicious food, and for a moment didn’t know which dish to start with.

Six dishes and one soup, there wouldn’t be any more, right?

The vivid expressions on her face were all observed by Shang Hexing across from her. He didn’t move his chopsticks, just watched her quietly until she could no longer ignore it and finally met his gaze ‘hastily’, asking uncertainly, “Is there something on my face?”

Shang Hexing said, “Very pretty.”

He had always liked to praise her beauty like this.

Wen Zhi’s lips curved up for a moment, but soon drooped down again, then she tried to guess his expression with a somewhat speculative mindset.

However, she came up with nothing.

So she took the initiative to find a topic, “Didn’t you go out today?”

Shang Hexing, “I came back specifically to have dinner with you.”

He emphasized the word ‘specifically’, indicating his attention and care. Wen Zhi also knew the reason and took the initiative to explain, “I was catching up on a drama in the bedroom, got engrossed and didn’t come downstairs, I wasn’t in a bad mood.”

After speaking, she reached out for the vegetables, behaving very naturally, just like her tone.

Shang Hexing had emotions in the depths of his eyes that were unreadable, “Wen Zhi, I’ve noticed you’ve been purposely avoiding me today.”

Wen Zhi’s chewing slowed, and she lifted her eyes to look at him, her heart skipped a beat.

Shang Hexing, “Haven’t you felt it yourself?”

“…Nope.”

She quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and then replied very affirmatively, “I haven’t been avoiding you. Why would I avoid you? There’s nothing for me to avoid you for. Rest assured, I won’t avoid you.”

She said all this in one breath, and after finishing, she sipped a small mouthful of soup from the bowl.

Shang Hexing’s lips spread into a smile, “Since you aren’t avoiding me, how about we sleep in the same room tonight?”

“Cough… cough cough cough…” Wen Zhi choked on her soup, coughing violently.

Shang Hexing seemed to have anticipated this and had already pushed the glass of warm water in front of her after he spoke.

Wen Zhi quickly took a sip of water to ease her cough.

Shang Hexing asked with a smile, “Such a strong reaction, do you want to, or not?”

“Of course it’s…” not.

But to say this directly seemed somewhat discourteous.

So Wen Zhi put it more delicately, “It’s not suitable.”

Shang Hexing said with a meaningful tone, “Not suitable indeed without an official title, I was presumptuous.”

Wen Zhi, “…” This man, here he goes again! Always hinting at her to give an official status with that tone.

“Let’s eat,” he didn’t tease her further.

“Oh.” She proceeded to eat.

After a few bites, Wen Zhi suddenly remembered there was something she hadn’t broached yet.

She glanced at Shang Hexing across from her, then stood up to take the initiative to serve him food, looking very eager to please, “This is delicious.”

Shang Hexing raised an eyebrow, his gaze not on her, “No kindness without a purpose.”

Wen Zhi, “I am neither plotting nor stealing.”

Shang Hexing ate the vegetables she served, “Go ahead.”

Wen Zhi didn’t ask directly but started with another long topic first, then gradually moved to the thing she wanted to ask.

Shang Hexing knew she was beating around the bush and patiently played along with her until the conversation came to the main point. Wen Zhi asked, “Shang Hexing, have you ever dreamt about me?”

God knows how anxious Wen Zhi was when she asked that question after going in circles for so long.

Even though she knew, he would most likely say no.

But to Wen Zhi’s surprise, the actual answer Shang Hexing gave was, “I have dreamt about you.”
