"Do you always speak in such an embellished manner?"
"Occasionally."
"Oh."
Xiao Qing's phone rang, so she stopped paying attention to him and looked down at her phone instead. It was a message from Lu Jinyang, which read: "Good to know, you should treat me better in the future."
She scoffed internally, but her face broke into a smile as she replied: Aren't I already treating you well? Have you had dinner? I'm eating out right now and bumped into someone I didn't want to see.
After sending the message, she looked up to find Song Zhiqing staring at her, his smile tinged with an indescribable emotion, startling Xiao Qing.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Song Zhiqing withdrew his gaze, reverting to his gentle demeanor. "You didn't say I couldn't sit here, did you?"
On hearing this, Xiao Qing gave him a deep look before grabbing her phone and bag and walking away.
Just then, there was an empty seat in another corner, where a mother and daughter were eating.
