The waiter choked.
Thankfully, the crowd wasn't the only ones feeling like they stepped into the pages of a romance novel. Xie Qingci was obviously playing out the role of the male lead, handing the rose to Yu Xia.
"This rose is quite vibrant. Sister, do you like it?"
Yu Xia: "…It's okay."
She stopped her banter, accepted the rose, and sniffed it.
"Smells nice."
Exactly, this is the right reaction for a female lead receiving a rose. The waiter breathed a sigh of relief and left quietly at Xie Qingci's signal.
Once outside, he flailed his arms behind the door, then squeezed into a group of colleagues to be interrogated.
"So what's the scoop? Was it really Yu Xia and Xie Qingci?"
"Really! So handsome! Yu Xia is so pretty, she literally glows!"
"And can you believe it? Xie Qingci called her 'sister'! Never noticed on the show, but hearing him say it now, it definitely has an ambiguous undertone!"
