Chapter 660: Chapter 660: Everything is to My Taste
"Ah Jing, in the culinary world in our country, I haven’t found someone who can match you yet."
Chen Jing knew that she was skilled, but she was far from being as extraordinary as Luo Yifan made it out to be.
Keep in mind, thus far, apart from when they were experimenting with new cuisine for cooking competitions, and he nitpicked about her taste, he usually had nothing but praises for her cooking.
She didn’t consider herself invincible, just that her cooking suited his taste.
"You flatter me, I am not as amazing as you said, it’s just that my cooking suits your taste."
Luo Yifan paused slightly, after all, philosophical statements were seldom heard from Chen Jing’s lips.
It seemed that after parting ways with Zhu Zhizhou, Chen Jing had developed not just in terms of judging men.
He looked deeply into Chen Jing’s eyes, "No, not just the food, everything about you, it perfectly suits my taste."
Luo Yifan’s words made Chen Jing blush furiously. She dipped her head and sipped noisily from her soup bowl to hide her embarrassment.
When Luo Yifan saw her regain composure, he took her bowl and served her some rice.
"Do you really want to watch the theatre? If you do not want to, we can go to a movie."
Luo Yifan was unsure if his choice suited her, so he made a point to confirm.
This was their first date, and he was hoping to leave her with a beautiful and unforgettable memory.
So that in the future, the romantic memories she could recall would no longer be the gloomy tales of her and that scumbag Zhu Zhizhou, but the happy and sun-lit tale of him and her.
"What kind of theatre, a Cantonese opera?" For someone Chen Jing’s age, the only kind of theatre she could think of was the traditional local opera.
Luo Yifan nodded, "Yes, would you not like it?"
Chen Jing shook her head, "No, I sometimes watch it on television, but I don’t understand it very well and I have never seen it live."
During the many years she spent with Zhu Zhizhou, she led a reclusive life. Forget the theatre, she had never even seen a movie.
"Well, I do not understand it much either. We can go see it, and if we find it interesting, we will continue to watch. If it doesn’t make sense, we can leave early and go elsewhere, okay?"
Indeed, the pair of tickets in Luo Yifan’s hand was given to him by another person and he had them for quite a few days. Initially, he thought he would just let them expire without using them, but it turned out that they were quite useful.
If he hadn’t proposed to go watch the theatre, she probably would not have invited him over for dinner.
"Yeah, we’ll see."
Chen Jing herself wasn’t sure since she never went on a date with anyone before.
"Actually, this is my first date."
On the way to Central Theater, Chen Jing suddenly told Luo Yifan, who was focused on driving.
Luo Yifan looked surprised and glanced over at her, "You, with him before..."
He stopped halfway through the question, feeling that it might be inappropriate, and swallowed the rest of his words.
"I never dated him, he had so many people around him, there was no time to accompany me."
When it came to Zhu Zhizhou, Chen Jing was no longer reluctant to speak.
Luo Yifan remained silent. In his opinion, belittling love rivals was a very undignified thing.
Moreover, Zhu Zhizhou was not even a love rival. He didn’t pose any threat to him and Chen Jing’s relationship.
"I was silly back then, why did I trust his words so easily?"
Looking back at her past self, Chen Jing felt extremely disgusted, "I was really brainless back then!"
Luo Yifan didn’t particularly enjoy hearing about Zhu Zhizhou. But hearing her nonchalantly mock herself, he felt that since she was able to let go, why should it bother him?
Everyone has their own past, it is that past that shaped her to be the person she is today.
"It’s fine, as long as you’re smart now!" Luo Yifan glanced at her once more, then returned his focus to driving as the green light came on.
Speaking of this, Chen Jing thought of something.
"In a while, I’ll give you something."
Luo Yifan’s curiosity was immediately piqued.
"What is it? Can’t you give it now?"
But Chen Jing was adamantly mysterious, "I’ll tell you when we arrive at the theatre."
Thankfully, Chen Jing’s home was not far from the theatre. Luo Yifan sped up his driving and within ten minutes, the car was parked in the theatre’s parking lot.
"Give it to me!"
As soon as the car stopped, Luo Yifan reached out his hand toward Chen Jing.
Chen Jing didn’t refuse. She reached into her handbag, pulled out a stack of paper, and put it in his outstretched hand.
"Here, I’m returning this to you!"
"Returning?" Luo Yifan instantly seized upon the key point.
He withdrew his hand and eagerly unrolled the papers. Indeed, it was the betting contract that he had given her.
He anxiously flipped to the last page of the contract. He was sure there would be her signature at the bottom, but to his surprise, it was just as when he first gave it to her. Only his name was there and the space for her signature was left blank.
"Ah Jing, what do you mean?"
Luo Yifan didn’t want to guess, but he couldn’t stop his heart from sinking.
But Chen Jing seemed oblivious to his sudden overcast expression. She pointed at the contract and said,
"I think, there’s no need for us to has a bet between us anymore."
Luo Yifan’s face changed slightly, "Ah Jing, does this mean... you’re rejecting me?"
Though Luo Yifan really didn’t want to think that way, but Chen Jing’s words and actions made it seem highly possible.
Chen Jing nodded, "Yes, I refuse to sign this betting contract."
Luo Yifan felt as if he had been unceremoniously dropped from the clouds. He didn’t have time to assess how heavy his fall was and deliberately ignored the pain seeping from his bones.
"Why?"
All he wanted to know was, why did she gave him such high hopes only to drop a bombshell on him, ruthlessly shattering all his hopes?
Chen Jing’s face turned slightly red, but she gathered the courage to say, "I thought, we are already boyfriend and girlfriend, aren’t we?"
Luo Yifan gaped at her, and after a while, he finally understood what she meant.
He excitedly grabbed her hand, "Ah Jing, you agreed to be my girlfriend?"
Chen Jing coughed, under his burning gaze, she resolutely nodded.
"Yeah, so, I don’t have a bet to make with you anymore, naturally, I can’t sign this contract, can I?"
Luo Yifan felt like he was shot up to the cloud by a rocket. In just a minute or two, he experienced a roller-coaster of emotions, which was so stimulating that he wanted to scream!
