When Bright Moon Encounter the Dark Clouds

Chapter 60: Tan Jiao 09 (3)

I picked up my phone and replied okay.

Ill come pick you up later. Wu Yu replied within seconds.

After giving it some thought, I replied, Ill pay for dinner. Youve bought me food a few times already.

Sure, he replied.

A thought suddenly popped into my mind, So is this our first date? To compensate for the one we were supposed to have on that ship.

I arrived before a wardrobe and rummaged through everything I had. In the end, my eyes became fixed on several of my short skirts as I thought about how Wu Yu looked at me the several times I wore them.

Is that the thirsty look Zhuang Yu talked about?

My heart rate shot up thinking about it. I picked out a navy blue skirt and a simple T-shirt. I even went to a salon to get my hair washed, as I had gone through a lot of hardship and fights. All this time with him, I had to admit I had not been able to maintain my appearance. Finally, I matched my outfit with a pair of sandals, something that was slightly sexy and revealing.

I had to make a reservation for a restaurant as well. Nothing too fancy of course; that would only emphasize the wealth gap between us. However, a greasy spoon would not work for our date either. I need to put some effort into this.

What else? Suddenly, I recalled those eyes of his that seemed to be hiding something painful. Those eyes that I could not figure out. Also, the cold and distant feeling I always felt from him. Even though I had tried to talk to him about his past, his rejection was always swift.

However, I could not help but want to know more about him.

My heart, which had been racing for all this while, gradually calmed down. I had previously tried to search for Wu Yus information online but had found nothing.

I came before the computer and typed in another name: Wu Miao.

As the beautiful twilight slowly engulfed everything, I found Wu Yu waiting downstairs for me. He stood there with his motorbike while smoking a cigarette. When I came close to him, I noticed the clean clothes he was wearing and his washed hair. He had even removed the bandage on his head, leaving only a small gauze.

He put out the cigarette he was smoking when he saw me coming before passing me a helmet.

I dont want to wear it. Its stuffy.

He put the helmet back before giving me a quick scan. I acted nonchalantly but abruptly felt a warmth on my legs.

He got onto the motorcycle. I climbed on as well while holding my skirt down. I placed my hands on his waist with familiarity, but he jerked slightly when I touched him. My gaze flickered to his waist immediately and vaguely saw the gauze that wrapped around his waist.

It was the wound he received when he fought Zhu Shuyun.

Is it better? I asked.

Much better. Where are we going?

I pulled out my phone and showed him the address that I had checked. After a quick look, he knew where it was. With a nod of his head, he said, I know where it is.

We cruised along the road slowly and arrived at the restaurant after a while. The restaurant looked rather old and had a small entrance. However, the outdoor space inside the premises was surprisingly spacious with many small tents set up. The place was not only cozy but also allowed for some privacy. I felt rather proud of my choice.

We picked a tent that was made from bamboo and sat down. Tie-dyed cloth hung from the top of the entrance, separating the inside of the tent from the rest of the restaurant. The tables and chairs were made from rattan that gave off a glossy look. Holding my phone, I said, I booked a set meal for us.

Wu Yu nodded.

With the warm light shining down on him, those eyes of his looked particularly black. The combination of his jet black hair, black pupils, and black shirt made him look especially attractive.

While waiting for the dishes, I asked, How are your wounds? Can you let me have a look?

I swear I did not mean anything else when I said that. Wu Yu shot a glance at me before asking, You want to take a look at my wounds?

My heart was very calm on this quiet night. I expected my heart to race wildly on such an occasion, but it was remarkably calm.

Yeah.

Come closer, he said.
