The Dragon Beside Me - Chapter 157

After looking on the internet, the two of them finally decided to take a walk at the park since it was closer. According to the netizen, the view around the park was pretty and it was a popular spot for visitors to take pictures and posted them on their social media.

When they arrived, they were surprised to see the number of vehicles in the parking lot. Upon walking around, they realized that there was a festival.

The two of them walked around the park while discussing the booth around them. Su Ruan saw a small animal booth and decided to stop by upon seeing the fishes in the small aquarium at the entrance.

Su Ruan stared at the fishes in the aquarium and thought that there was something strange going on. It seemed that the fishes were gathering close to the glass. It might be her imagination, but it seemed as if the fishes were staring back at her.

“Don’t you think that the fishes were a little funny? Why does it seem as if they were here to look at us?” Su Ruan tapped her fingers on the glass to tease the fishes, but they seemed unafraid. The fishes continued to stay around for a long time.

Long Fei narrowed his eyes at the fishes, and they swam away from the glasses as if to run away for their life. However, they soon realized that they could not escape too far as they were surrounded by glasses.

The look on the big boss’s face was too terrifying!

It was the first time that they have seen the big boss with their eyes. And they only wanted to glance at the person. Why do they have to look at them this fierce?

The fishes in the aquariums were swimming around fast and some of them hit their head on the glass.

“I think that the fishes have gone crazy.” Su Ruan stood up and smiled at Long Fei.

“I think you’re right.” Long Fei retracted the fierce look on his face as Su Ruan was facing him. Once the girl had looked away from him, Long Fei sent another look at the fishes. Gradually, the fish stopped moving around too much.

Su Ruan stood up straight and continued to walk. Then, Long Fei walked along beside her. “I have lived in Capital City for years, but I never thought that there would be a beautiful place like this. And to thin that this place is quite close to my old apartment.”

“Your old apartment?”

“Mhmm…” Su Ruan pointed her finger in a direction. “My old apartment… should be a ten-minute walking distance from here.”

As he had investigated her in the past, Long Fe naturally knew where she was staying previously.

Su Ruan heaved a long sigh as she retracted her gaze. “Coming to this city again and seeing everything around me made me realize that I have been missing out a lot. You see, I didn’t even know a good restaurant around the city until I looked up them on the internet last night.”

Long Fei merely smiled when the girl looked up to meet his gaze. He could feel that she was upset earlier and thought that she wanted to vent her frustration.

He did not know how to make the discomfort in her heart disappear. At this time, he could only stay with her and be a good listener.

“Thinking about it, it seemed that I have been busying myself with work and did not have the chance to look up properly at what was around me,” Su Ruan said.

The smile on her face did not reach her eyes.

Su Ruan thought about the days that she had stayed in this big city. When she first came, she had so much hope in her. She worked hard at university and then at the company. In the end…

Noticing that the man was still looking at her, Su Ruan took a deep breath to compose herself.

“Are you planning to return to Capital City and stay here?”

Long Fei thought of what will happen if she wanted to stay in this city. Since he had to depend on her, he will have to follow her around and stay in the city as well.

Su Ruan tilted her head to one side and flashed him a teasing smile. “Are you worried that I’m going to leave?” A laugh escaped her. “After staying in D Town for a few months, I think the town suited me very well. At least it was a lot more relaxing than staying in a big city.”

Long Fei approached her closer and smiled.

Noticing the smile on his face made her laugh again. The glint in his eyes showed that he was very happy when she told him that she wanted to stay in his town.

Her heart skipped a beat as they stared at each other for a while longer. Her breath seemed to be stuck in her throat, making the smile on her face stiffen. Su Ruan looked away and pointed her finger in a direction.

“The shop over there seems interesting.” Su Ruan coughed. “Let’s go over and grab something to eat.”

The corner of his lips tilted up and his eyes crinkled as he watched her walk away. He did not expect that it would be very easy for her to get shy.

Long Fei catch up with her and held her hand.

Su Ruan halted as she felt his warm skin touch against hers. She did not look up and continued to walk forward while holding hands with him.

The two of them stopped at the food stall and Su Ruan quickly ordered some light snacks for both of them. As they were waiting for the old man to prepare their food, the phone in her bag suddenly rang.

Su Ruan took out her phone from her bag and glanced at the caller ID. Instantly, her good mood seemed to have disappeared.

“What’s wrong?” Long Fei asked when he saw that Su Ruan has been staring at her phone for a long time. His sharp eyes saw the name on the caller ID and his expression turned darker.

Su Ruan snapped out of her trance and pursed her lips into a thin line. “Sorry.. I’ll go and answer this phone call first.”
