Chapter 442 -s 443-444: That’s not how the routine works
Bai Lu did not usually take the initiative to hold his arm when they were outside, but now she suddenly did, which made Lu Li feel needed.
Immediately, he straightened his body, his smile growing wider, as if he was announcing to the whole world that the woman beside him was his girlfriend.
The receptionist saw this and listlessly returned to her work.
Lu Li escorted Bai Lu to her room, but once they reached the door, Lu Li did not hurry back to his own room; instead, he wanted to follow Bai Lu into hers.
"What are you doing? Go back to your own room." Bai Lu blocked him at the door, reducing the points she had mentally awarded Lu Li earlier.
Men, they’re all the same.
"We haven’t had dinner yet; let’s order room service and eat in your room," Lu Li said pitifully, clearly intending to linger with Bai Lu.
Bai Lu felt somewhat hungry hearing Lu Li’s suggestion; they hadn’t eaten much on the plane, being too worried about Qin Mobai and Lou Xi.
"Alright... but you must go back after we eat." Bai Lu compromised and opened the door.
Once inside Bai Lu’s room, Lu Li’s true nature was revealed.
"Wow, your room has a view of the sea. The scenery is much better."
"I don’t mind trading rooms with you," Bai Lu replied, "Aren’t we ordering room service? Why haven’t you called yet? The sooner we eat, the sooner we can rest."
"Don’t you understand that I just want to spend more time with you?
"Fine, let’s call room service..." Bai Lu decided to dial the phone herself. Since he wouldn’t call, she’d do it; she needed to distract herself.
Turning her back to Lu Li, Bai Lu dialed the front desk.
Bai Lu’s English was very good, allowing her to converse fluently with the receptionist.
"Hello, are you still there?" the receptionist asked Bai Lu.
"I’m still here; please bring up two dinners, thank you."
After speaking, Bai Lu hung up quickly, unsure of what Lu Li would do while she was on the phone!
Turning around, Bai Lu glared at Lu Li.
"What’s up with you!"
As time went on, Bai Lu no longer resisted Lu Li’s closeness, even... liking it.
Lu Li: "???"
Girl, this isn’t how the game is played.
Soon, room service delivered dinner: two plates of seafood pasta. The rich cream and seafood aroma reached Bai Lu’s nose, and her stomach rumbled—it was truly hungry.
Bai Lu didn’t glance at Lu Li’s lackluster appearance.
Bai Lu knew Lu Li was easily excitable, but even when he was, he restrained himself.
He was just one of those people who could control themselves.
She ate her seafood pasta and looked at Lu Li opposite her; he seemed completely uninterested in eating.
"Aren’t you hungry?"
"I am," the man said through gritted teeth, though it wasn’t clear what kind of hunger he meant.
"Why aren’t you eating?"
Bai Lu put down her fork, walked around the table, and went to Lu Li’s side.
Damn, he shouldn’t have come into the room with her earlier!
Lu Li’s mind went blank for a few seconds; what did Bai Lu mean by this?
He quickly understood, looking at Bai Lu in surprise. Was she saying she wanted to give herself to him?
Even though she agreed, Lu Li hesitated, unsure how to proceed.
Happiness came too suddenly; it felt somewhat unreal.
Bai Lu: "???"
Before Bai Lu could react
Bai Lu felt a bit bewildered, taking a long moment to come back to herself.
But Lu Li’s words left an imprint on her heart.
The promise he made must be kept.
...
Back then, he promised Bai Lu; since he agreed to Bai Lu, he had to fulfill it.
