"Do you have a private room?"
She asked a server.
"Hello. All our private rooms have been reserved," the server replied respectfully.
"No problem. We can eat outside."
Tang Yu was delighted to hear that. Thank goodness there were so many customers here today. Now he'd definitely be safe.
"That works. We can eat outside."
Wang Yixue didn't necessarily have to eat in a private room.
Seeing how happy Tang Yu looked, she knew exactly what he was happy about.
Just wait. He'd have something else to be happy about soon!
After they sat down, the server replaced their candles with two new scented ones.
"Darling, what would you like to eat?"
Wang Yixue asked with a beaming smile, holding the menu.
"Whatever. I lose my appetite when I eat with you. And don't call me darling."
Tang Yu replied coolly.
Damn, there's really something wrong with this woman.
Weren't we here to discuss business? What kind of business is this? I'm not selling my body.
Teacher Wang, don't do this. We're not right for each other. You're a good person, but you're not good enough for me.
"Oh, then let's order a set meal for couples."
Wang Yixue smiled and handed the menu to the server. She shook off her high heel, letting it slip away from her foot.
She gently nudged Tang Yu's calf with her black-stockinged foot.
"What are you doing?"
Tang Yu immediately looked wary.
Oh my, buddy, but you can't just go letting your feet loose like that.
We're in public. Watch yourself, okay? Don't wipe your sweaty feet on my leg.
"My foot itches."
Wang Yixue laughed in exasperation.
Your foot is the one that's sweaty! I take good care of my feet every single day, okay?
"And you're rubbing it against me? You stink."
Tang Yu complained, sneaking a glance at Wang Yixue's foot.
What a sin. How could you wear black stockings here?
I've been gutting fish at the supermarket for ten years. My heart's colder than a knife. Nothing can move me.
Except black stockings (ˉ﹃ˉ)
"I'm just teasing you. I've been walking around in high heels for ages. Of course my feet are tired. Come on, give them a rub."
Wang Yixue urged him with a giggle.
She wanted to see how long this secretly flirtatious guy could hold out.
"Keep dreaming."
Tang Yu snorted. "Weren't you going to discuss business? Get on with it. I still have to get back to work afterward."
"I'm too tired to talk business right now. If someone rubbed my feet for me, I wouldn't be tired anymore."
Wang Yixue simply started acting shamelessly and rested her foot on Tang Yu's leg.
Her legs were long and fair, slender but still nicely full—the sort that would make even a professional leg model jealous.
For women with unattractive legs, black stockings were a cover-up.
For a woman like Wang Yixue, black stockings... added a touch of allure.
Damn, how can you do this? Put your damn foot any closer and this won't be dinner anymore, okay?
No wonder this enchantress picked a place like this.
I should've gone with a private room. If anyone sees us, I'll die of embarrassment.
"I can call a server over to rub your feet for you."
Tang Yu pretended to be annoyed as he took her leg and lowered it.
The moment his hand grabbed Wang Yixue's leg, her body shivered slightly, as if she'd been shocked.
When she trembled, Tang Yu's hand trembled too.
"Why are you touching my foot? You're such a pervert."
Wang Yixue bit her lip and put on a bashful expression.
"..."
Tang Yu was at a loss. Why did it look like he was the one harassing her?
But then he thought it over.
Right. I've been way too passive.
I keep trying to avoid her, so she thinks I'm easy to bully and teases me!
If I take the initiative, can she really be as shameless as I am?
I'm the most shameless guy in the village. I'd go watch a dog riding another dog, so why should I be scared of her?
"Are you sure you want me to rub your legs?"
Tang Yu deliberately tried to imitate the Dragon King's sinister smile, though he didn't quite pull it off.
Ye Chen, the Dragon King, could curl his lips up at a precise ninety-degree angle. Tang Yu could manage thirty at most.
"Go ahead."
Wang Yixue's face showed a hint of shyness, but inside she was over the moon.
Hmph. Let's see how thick your skin is today!
The lighting was dim, so it would be hard for anyone to notice what they were doing under the table.
Tang Yu took a deep breath and gently squeezed the woman's leg a few times.
Even through a layer of stockings, his fingertips could still feel how springy and smooth her skin was.
Oh my, she really takes good care of her skin.
Every so often, Wang Yixue's body shivered. She kept her head lowered, looking bashful and saying nothing.
Tang Yu was quite pleased with her reaction.
He knew it. This woman was all talk!
When it came to the real thing, how could she possibly be a match for him?
Heh, getting shy now?
This is what you get for teasing me.
Well, woman, you lit the fire. Now put it out yourself.
But when ten minutes had passed, Tang Yu finally began to feel that something wasn't quite right.
Wang Yixue was still sitting there with her head lowered, looking bashful and not saying a word.
Damn it, why are you still not reacting? We could've started a fire by rubbing sticks together by now!
Where's your sense of shame? Why are you still holding out at a time like this?
Come on, drop that last bit of stubbornness and surrender to me right now!
Say it loud: "I'm sorry, Brother Tang Yu!"
Tang Yu grumbled furiously to himself. What the hell was this woman up to?
Did she have no sense of shame at all?
Or was this just too tame for her to be affected?
Fortunately, the server came over with their food just then.
"Here's your set meal for two."
She smiled as she put the dishes on the table, then opened a bottle of red wine for them.
"Great, thanks. Here's a tip for you."
Tang Yu was overcome with gratitude. He hurriedly lowered Wang Yixue's foot, pulled out his wallet, and handed the server a thick wad of cash.
If this went on any longer, he really wouldn't be able to take it.
"Thank you, Young Master Tang."
The server accepted the wad of bills and thanked him repeatedly.
As expected of Young Master Tang—handsome and generous!
Tang Yu stood up and said to Wang Yixue, "I'm going to wash my hands. You eat first."
"Okay."
Wang Yixue raised her head with a sly smile. Right now, she just wanted to pound the table laughing.
He'd rubbed her feet for ages, muttering to himself the whole time about why she still hadn't admitted defeat.
Hilarious.
She wasn't going to lose.
Damn, I let my guard down. This woman's skin is ridiculously thick.
Seeing her smile, Tang Yu knew he'd fallen for it. Scowling, he went off to wash his hands properly.
By the time he came back, Wang Yixue had poured him some red wine and cut up his steak.
She was like a gentle, obedient, attentive girlfriend as she blinked at Tang Yu.
"Go on, eat. You've worked hard today."
"Thanks."
Tang Yu replied coolly. He was indeed a little hungry.
Wang Yixue didn't tease Tang Yu any further while they ate. She focused on her food instead.
The atmosphere grew quiet.
Men looked best under lamplight, women beneath the moon.
In the flickering candlelight, Wang Yixue suddenly stopped moving.
