Andre took the glass filled with water to his lips and took two big gulps, then put the glass back on the table.
His peripheral vision inadvertently swept across the tabletop, and he noticed another glass on his right side. Andre redirected his attention, looked at the glass in his hand, and scanned the surroundings in confusion, quickly realizing that the glass he was holding belonged to Chongchong.
His gaze flicked to the rim of the glass, and Andre instinctively turned his head to look at Chongchong beside him. She was elegantly lifting a piece of steak to her lips.
Her lips, painted a faint orange-red, moved slightly due to the chewing motion. A bit of sauce clung to the tip, making him feel a sudden dryness in his mouth.
Seeing that she seemed to sense his gaze, Andre hurriedly withdrew his sight, brought the glass to his lips again, and took another sip of water while secretly glancing at her.
