Tom stopped outside the door, staring at Vivi's back while narrowing his eyes.
He didn't hesitate any longer. He opened the bedroom's door and said loudly, "Hey, come down quickly! We gotta eat!"
Tom clearly did this on purpose.
The room was silent at first, but because of his voice, even Vivi's mother on the phone could hear clearly.
"Vivi, who is in your house? It's a man, isn't it? ? Is he your new boyfriend?"
Now, all of Vivi's excuses failed!
She turned her head and glared at Tom in annoyance, but Tom spread his arms innocently, and continued speaking. "Come on, get down quickly or the food will get cold!"
Vivi. "..."
On the phone, her mother was shaking with joy. "Vivi, let me see his face from the video call. Why didn't you tell me and your dad that you had a boyfriend! Don't worry, no matter who it is, as long as you love him, your father and I will definitely support you!"
Vivi immediately took a breath, and hurriedly said before she hung up the phone, "I'll explain later."
The woman then looked at Tom angrily. "Can you knock first next time?"
Hearing the voice, Tom tilted his head and leaned against the door's frame. With the other hand, he hit the door with a stick. "You didn't close your door, why should I knock! Come and help me downstairs!"
Tom smiled triumphantly as he turned around.
Even though he wasn't able to understand his feelings for Vivi yet, it didn't prevent him from making a few ambiguous topics first.
Vivi, who was still standing by the bedroom's window, threw her cell phone on the bed and ruffled her hair in annoyance.
She shouldn't have come to this place with him!
Now that her mother had heard Tom's voice, how was she supposed to explain it!
Not long after, Vivi walked out the door with an ugly expression, and as soon as she lifted her head, she saw Tom leaning on the banister.
She glared at him with a stern face. After walking two steps towards the stairs, her wrist was pulled.
"Are you mad?" Tom asked hesitantly.
Vivi looked into his innocent eyes. She opened her mouth, and finally shook her head helplessly. "No..."
"If I'm really causing trouble for you, should I... call your mother to explain?"
As soon as he said that, Tom swallowed his saliva
But Vivi was deep in thought, so she didn't even notice.
She suppressed her anger as she helped Tom and said, "You don't need to explain anything, my mom just wants me to get married, so I can tell her clearly later!"
After that, Vivi returned to her original self.
It can be said that the minds of these two are not very advanced, but they have to pretend to be smart in front of each other.
...
At 4.30 pm, they ate some Japanese dishes. After eating the main course, Vivi ate a lot of desserts.
Tom sat across from her and stared at her.
According to him, Vivi deserves appreciation.
Perhaps because of her ordinary background, she rarely cared about having a dignified and graceful appearance.
To keep their image, many rich girls would always pretend to be shy when eating.
Whether they only took small mouthfuls or didn't finish their meal, such a thing wasted all that delicious food.
Some were trained that way by their families, but most of them just wanted to look elegant!
On the other side, Vivi was eating voraciously and she straightforwardly commented on the food she ate.
Tom watched with satisfaction as he ate all the dessert, and then pushed the plate towards Vivi. "Eat slowly, there's still a lot more!"
Vivi chewed the food and looked up. She casually accepted all the desserts and ate them voraciously!
These Japanese desserts are delicious!
Though they ate so voraciously, the atmosphere around them became harmonious and calm.
About ten minutes later, Vivi drank a sip of juice before patting her stomach in satisfaction.
She looked at Tom shyly, and glanced at the man's dinner plate. "Are you on diet or what?"
The sushi on his plate was only missing two pieces!
Tom curled his lips and smiled. "I wasn't that hungry, so I haven't touched this. But if you still want to eat..."
"No need, I'm very full!"
Vivi waved her hand quickly and shook her head. When she looked down, her small stomach popped out!
Tom then looked at his watch and suggested, "Would you like some tea? I'm planning to unload my food first before soaking in the hot water!"
"Well, that's fine!"
So the two of them went to the quiet tea room. There, a maid knelt on the tatami to make tea for them.
In this Japanese-style room they occasionally spoke a few words and once their eyes met, something seemed to have quietly changed.
After five o'clock, the sky outside the window turned dark.
After drinking tea, Vivi planned to go back upstairs to change clothes.
For this trip, she brought two sets of bathing suits. Soaking in the hot springs at night must be really good!
Five minutes later, a low disappointed sigh could be heard from Vivi's room.
She was very sad to find that she had been greedy and had eaten too much, this caused her stomach to bulge.
Vivi looked in the mirror and rubbed her round belly, then tried to catch her breath and hold it in, but it was too hard...
She looked at the mirror for a long time, and finally took out the towel from the bathroom. With her body covered in a towel, she slowly went to the backyard.
At this moment, the sky was completely dark.
The dim yellow floor in the backyard shrouds the world, and the milky white hot pool in the center of the courtyard stands out.
Vivi shivered with cold as soon as she stepped outside.
Walking briskly around the hot spring, she wrapped the bath towel tightly around her body and just crouched down to test the temperature of the water.
However, a head suddenly popped out of the pool.
The water was then splashed hard towards her, causing Vivi to slip and fall directly onto the edge of the hot spring pool.
In the pool, Tom wiped the drops of water on his face, his wet hair pressed against his forehead as he frowned at her. "Why are you taking so long?"
Vivi held tightly to her bath towel and looked at him. She looked at the hot pool that could accommodate four or five people and asked, "You… Why are you here?!"
She thought she was the only one who came to this place!
Tom swam in the pool for a while, and then spread his arms across the stone wall, exposing his well-structured shoulders.
"Can't I? This hot spring can refresh the body and relieve stress! The canal is at the edge, come on in! The temperature is just right, it feels great!"
Vivi looked around subconsciously, and she felt very sad when a lonely man and woman were forced to soak in a hot spring together!
However, the weather in December was so cold that she couldn't help but go inside. The next second, Vivi wrapped up her bath towels and slid into the hot pool!
The hot water made her sigh in an instant, and soon she was surrounded by warmth, which quickly made her cheeks red.
