Would You Like to Give it a Try?

Actually, Zhang Yu Han did not know how the prawn in his mouth tasted like. The seconds the prawn entered his mouth and his lips touched the tips of Li Qin Yao's finger, Zhang Yu Han felt a numbing sensation throughout his body. It felt as if time was moving slowly around him.

Zhang Yu Han continued to chew on the prawn for a long time as he stared at the grill absentmindedly. He did not even know when he had swallowed the food in his mouth.

Right now, he did not dare to look at Li Qin Yao as he was afraid that his emotion will be transparent to her. All he could do now was to watch her through his peripheral gaze. Fortunately, the night prevented her to see his face clearly or else, Li Qin Yao would able to see his reddened face.

As a businessman, Zhang Yu Han was known for his resolute and firm character. However, Zhang Yu Han did not know how to face someone he really likes.

"Those chicken wings look like they're done," Li Qin Yao pointed out.

Zhang Yu Han snapped out of his trance as he stared at the chicken wings. The tip of the wings had charred a little bit due to his negligence. Swiftly, he transferred the wings to a tray and set it aside on the table.

Seeing that everyone else seemed to have disappeared elsewhere, Zhang Yu Han decided not to cook the remaining ingredients. He turned to Li Qin Yao and saw that she was peeling more prawn. His gaze paused at her fingers and suddenly, his grip on the tong tightened as if he had just resolute himself to act.

Anyway, he had made a bet with himself to be brave and take an action if Li Qin Yao were to win the bidding.

Since she had won the bid, Zhang Yu Han knew that he needed to take this chance to confess.

His heart was beating fast and his heart was overwhelmed with this feeling that he would only get whenever he looked at the girl beside him.

Zhang Yu Han straightened up his posture as he looked at the girl in front of him and took a deep breath. His lips parted, and he spoke, "Li Qin Yao, I―"

However, at this time, Wei Jun Hao appeared from god's knows where and linked his arms around Zhang Yu Han's neck.

"Hey, is the chicken wings done? Yu Ying has been asking about it," Wei Jun Hao said. "I think she's a bit tipsy."

Zhang Yu Han groaned as he suppressed his frustration. He turned to Wei Jun Hao with a dangerous look in his eyes. Slowly, Wei Jun Hao removed his arms around his friend's neck.

"W-what?" Wei Jun Hao blinked innocently. He glanced at Li Qin Yao and suddenly understood that he was interrupting his friend's time to be alone with the girl he liked. Suddenly, Wei Jun Hao had a feeling that he was going to suffer from Zhang Yu Han's wrath for a few days.

Zhang Yu Han picked up the plate and transferred some of the chicken wings. Then, he shoved it to his friend. "Take this. Look after my sister and don't let her drink anymore."

Wei Jun Hao nodded slowly. He took the plate from Zhang Yu Han and fled from the scene.

Actually, Zhang Yu Han was not sure whether he should be grateful or displeased at his friend's timely interruption. If it was not for Wei Jun Hao, perhaps, Zhang Yu Han would brave himself to tell Li Qin Yao that he liked her. However, he was still scared that he might get rejected and thus, he was secretly relieved that he had not said anything.

"Are there any chicken wings left?" Li Qin Yao peeked at the grill. "Let me take some to your grandfather and Auntie Wu."

Zhang Yu Han took a deep breath as he transferred those wings on another plate and passed it to Li Qin Yao.

As he watched her walked in into the house, Zhang Yu Han felt slightly disappointed.

...

The barbecue ended late at night. Because of it, Zhang Jing had offered Li Qin Yao to stay at Zhang's residence. However, Li Qin Yao had rejected his offer and told him that she had a place to stay in Y City.

After Li Qin Yao had cleaned up herself and changed her clothes to something that Zhang Yu Ying had let her borrowed, Zhang Yu Han took his car keys and drove his Cayenne to Han Yue Xiu's place.

In the vehicle, both of them choose to stay in silence.

After getting a lift from Zhang Yu Han for a month, Li Qin Yao had long understood that Zhang Yu Han was someone who would quietly concentrate on his driving. While, at this time, Zhang Yu Han's mind was preoccupied with what had happened throughout the day. And most of all, he was thinking about what he had almost said to her before Wei Jun Hao appeared and ruin that moment.

Because of the smooth traffic and distance, it did not take long before they arrived at Han Yue Xiu's apartment.

Zhang Yu Han opened the door for Li Qin Yao and watched her exited. "Are you sure you have the keys?"

"Hmm," Li Qin Yao nodded. "Han Yue Xiu gave me her keys before she left the country." She rummaged through her purse and found the keys. "Found it." She lifted the keys to let Zhang Yu Han see and smiled.

"Will you return to B City tomorrow?"

Li Qin Yao nodded again. "I still have a few matters I need to settle. Since I have won the bid, I need to return to Capital City and discuss a few things with my grandfather."

"Then, I will come and pick you up tomorrow."

"You… you don't have to. I'll just take the train. Anyway, the train station is not that far."

"It's fine," Zhang Yu Han smiled. "I still need to meet Wei Jun Hao and a few friends in B City tomorrow."

Li Qin Yao hesitated for a while before she nodded. "Alright. Then, I should go in first. Zhang Yu Han, thank you for the lift. You should be careful when you drive back."

Zhang Yu Han watched as Li Qin Yao turned around to leave. Suddenly, he took a deep breath and called her name. "Li Qin Yao."

Li Qin Yao turned around and tilted her head as she looked at him. "Hmm?"

The atmosphere around them was filled with peaceful silence.

Zhang Yu Han tightened his hands into fists, and said, "I like you."

Li Qin Yao's eyes widened at his sudden confession.

"Would you like to give it a try?"

"Try what?"

He had thought that the meaning of his question was clear, especially right after his confession. Zhang Yu Han frowned and said, "Try and date me."
