Chapter 54: The Faint Flavor of Longing

  As I walked out of the art museum, I stood at the entrance and saw the street opposite, with cars coming and going, a bustling scene. Alongside the road, large clusters of blooming flowers dotted this bustling city, those flowers swaying in the wind, drawing my gaze.

  On the bus, Uncle Xia chatted with us. "Wen Yu! I'm in the same system as Qing Yi's dad now, and unexpectedly, you kids are also from the same school, what a coincidence! Since you're classmates, interact more and help each other out!" You can tell he cares about Wen Yu.

  "Agreed." We said in unison.

  We were chatting when Uncle Xia's phone rang, it was Wen Yu's mom calling.

  "Wen Yu, your mom said she has something to do and will be back late today, there's no time. She also made an appointment for us to have dinner outside, which is just in time to celebrate your painting exhibition. Bring your classmates along too!"

  Uncle Xia said after he finished speaking, "Qing Yi, you come with us too!"

  "Oh, uncle, I won't go, I'll just head back home for dinner instead!" How can I join their family gathering when others are reuniting with their loved ones?

  "Dad, I'm not going either, you and mom go! You're usually busy with work, now it's a rare break, just go have dinner together and chat!"

  Uncle Xia burst out laughing, probably amused by his son's words.

  "He continued: 'None of you are going? Then Wen Yu, how will you solve your food problem?'"

  "That's easy, just go eat with Qingyi! I wonder if Qingyi is willing?" He said with a smile, looking at me.

  I have no opinion. I nodded silently in agreement. For some reason, every time I see his smile, I don't want to refuse him.

  "Your mom and I will be back later," said Uncle Xia.

  "There's no one at home! It's so boring. After I finish eating, I'll play for a while and then go back home." Wen Yu fell silent for a moment before speaking again.

  "Alright, I'll take you guys to wherever you want to go play. You can find a place to eat there!" said Uncle Xia.

  "Alright, let's go watch a movie then. Is that okay? Qing Yi." Xia Wenyu looked at me with pleading eyes.

  I agree. Let's take a rest today and go watch a movie to relax!

  The car stopped at the parking lot next to the cinema. After saying goodbye to Uncle Xia, we went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

  Today I'm wearing a rose-red dress, still with long hair. This outfit is quite in sync with the lively atmosphere on the street. Normally, I prefer simple and elegant clothing, fond of white and purple colors, so my usual attire tends towards pure white and light purple, with a subtle and understated look. Since today is a day out for fun, I've changed up my style.

  Looking at him again, he was wearing a black casual outfit with a black and white striped shirt, dark blue jeans, and black leather shoes. He looked handsome and elegant.

  I followed him into a restaurant like this.

  This is a Western restaurant. Sitting by the window, the sunlight shines on the glass and warms people's hearts. Through the glass, you can see the scenery outside, which I love very much. It's still spring, and this city is already full of flowers in spring. From across the window, you can see that prosperous scene, that thriving landscape.

  The restaurant has a great atmosphere, with beautiful and melodious piano music lingering in the ears, the sound of the piano is ethereal, pulling at people's heartstrings.

  When dining, he would sometimes gaze at me for a while, his eyes clear and gentle, reminding me of the day we first met, when he had looked at me in the same way, only now with something added.

  "He asked: 'What are you thinking?'"

  "No way!" I gazed at him, a faint smile playing on my lips.

  Looking into his eyes, in a daze I'm willing for him to gaze at me like that, this feeling has gradually become a habit in my heart, a dependence, and I'm willing to indulge in the faint flavor of such dependence, reluctant to wake up.
