Chapter 1511: Chapter 446: Retribution?
"Your shoes..."
"Don’t laugh!"
In the romantic rooftop dinner, just as Yan Huan was about to speak, the girl in front of him, cutting her steak into small pieces, puffed her cheeks and looked at him angrily.
"I wasn’t laughing..."
"You were clearly laughing, you haven’t stopped!"
Yan Huan:

"Your shoes..."
However, Yan Huan speaking in such a serious manner only made Bai Yi blush even more.
"Don’t even mention them!"
Thus, Miss Bai added such a domineering remark.
"Alright..."
Yan Huan gave up and lowered his head to cut his steak.
"Hmph..."
Bai Yi watched Yan Huan warily while using her fork to pick up a piece of steak and put it in her mouth.
As the tender, perfectly cooked steak entered her mouth, her eyes lit up, and she broke into a happy smile...
Meanwhile, her hands holding the knife and fork waved around like a little baby sitting at a highchair.
"So good!"
It wasn’t the first time Yan Huan had seen her react like this to delicious food, but it still amused him.
He always felt Bai Yi was like some kind of fairy tale creature.
The kind that is characterized by being sunny, kind, and optimistic.
Like a Pororo, a Smurf, or a little flower fairy...
"Here, try mine."
"Sure, sure～"
Their main dish steaks were different styles, and even the beef cuts were significantly different. Yan Huan didn’t know exactly which part it was.
He wasn’t an expert on beef, always leaning toward well-done whenever possible.
Yan Huan cut a portion of his steak for Bai Yi, holding it up with a fork intending to push it onto her plate with a knife.
But Bai Yi mistakenly thought he was going to feed her and happily tilted her head to chase Yan Huan’s fork.
She tilted her head back, only to find it going down again.
So she steadied herself against the table to give chase until the next moment when the fork and beef were laid against the plate, she angrily looked at Yan Huan like a cat that was being teased.
Yan Huan chuckled silently but had no choice but to feed her the steak.
After tasting Yan Huan’s steak, Bai Yi’s eyes shifted, then she smiled and said,
"Your steak isn’t as good as mine!"
Hmm, Bai Yi just enjoyed doing these utterly silly things.
Yet Yan Huan didn’t feel she was genuinely competitive, because in the next second, she would be happily sharing her steak.
Just at this moment, when Yan Huan was about to bite into her steak, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the dark night through the reflection on the silver fork.
"Hmm?"
So, he bit the steak, raising his eyes to look at the sky.
At this moment, as the evening deepened, the night was gradually revealing itself.
Unfortunately, even with a cloudless sky today, it was still difficult to see stars under the city’s light pollution.
Yan Huan could only chew his steak and look down at the bustling Jinghe District from above.
"What’s the matter?"
"Nothing, it’s just that it suddenly felt very quiet here today."
The height was so elevated that it was hard to hear the city’s hustle and bustle below, like an onlooker admiring the scenery.
"Yes, so quiet..."
As Bai Yi said this, her gaze subtly drifted, falling onto the side profile of the boy beside her who was looking at the city below.
Unconsciously, a hint of gratitude flashed in her eyes...
Grateful that she hadn’t disappeared.
If she had died, she wouldn’t be able to taste these delicious foods, see such beautiful scenery, or be by Yan Huan’s side...
"Hehe～"
"?"
The girl in front suddenly laughed, bringing Yan Huan back to attention, looking at her.
"What’s wrong?"
"Ahem, nothing... Right, there’s a park nearby. How about we go for a walk there?! I’ve always wanted to go, but I never had the time..."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course!"
Yan Huan was actually referring to her high heels, but seeing her so determined, he didn’t refuse and just nodded to agree.
...
...
Linmen indeed has a river, but it’s entirely a man-made river.
Yan Huan guessed it was developed to sell real estate nearby, given the high land prices in the area.
"Click..."
"Heave ho..."
"Click..."
"Heave... ho..."
After only a few steps, Yan Huan was already sighing from the teeth-grinding sound of high heels scraping the ground and her wobbly steps.
He couldn’t bear it anymore and asked,
"So why did you wear such high heels today..."
"Uh..."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yi realized she was indeed walking slowly, and didn’t try to put on a brave face. She just looked back and said pitiably,
"You’re so tall, I wanted to be a little taller too!"
"..."
Watching her comparing heights between his shoulders and her head, Yan Huan almost wanted to knock on her head.
Today, Bai Yi was wearing 10cm high heels, Yan Huan really thought there was no difference from walking on tiptoes.
"Sit for a while, I’ll go buy you a pair of shoes... What’s your size?"
"No need..."
Still being stubborn?
Even as she was pulled onto a seat, Bai Yi rubbed her ankle and still muttered.
"What do you mean no need, look at your ankle..."
Yan Huan squatted down, looking at her slightly red ankle beneath her dress skirt and almost wished he could crack open her little silly head to see what’s inside.
But feeling Yan Huan’s gaze on her foot, Bai Yi’s face flushed, she quickly lifted her leg, curling up together while placing both hands on the top of her feet, as if trying to cover his constant gaze.
"I said, no need..."
