C285: Birth of the Love Brain 012
Si Chengyou safely drove Shen Yue to their destination. This was an old, renowned restaurant that specialized in Chinese cuisine. The environment was quite elegant, with only five tables of guests served daily. When Si Chengyou made the reservation it was already fully booked, but he happened to know the guests at one of the tables and they gave up their seats for him, otherwise he really wouldn't have known where to take Shen Yue today.
All the dining areas were private rooms, ensuring good privacy. After using the hot towels provided by the server to wash their hands, Si Chengyou passed the tablet with the menu selections to Shen Yue, "I've ordered some dishes you usually like to eat, take a look to see if there's anything else you might be interested in, feel free to order whatever you want."
Shen Yue looked them over, it was indeed all dishes she enjoyed, except for one she had never tried before. Shen Yue turned the tablet towards Si Chengyou and pointed at that dish, "Is this something you like to eat?"
Si Chengyou looked at it and stared back at Shen Yue as he replied, "I thought that dish might interest you so I ordered it, if you don't want to eat it we can cancel it."
Shen Yue shook her head, "I like it."
Si Chengyou nodded, his gaze beginning to flicker again.
After looking through what Si Chengyou ordered, Shen Yue didn't add anything further. She passed the tablet back to Si Chengyou and asked, "You ordered so much, are you going to take the leftovers to-go?"
Si Chengyou naturally nodded, "Finishing everything on the plate, taking leftovers back for my older brother to eat."
Shen Yue seldom saw this childish side of Si Chengyou's and asked doubtfully, "Will your brother be willing to eat it?"
"My brother eats everything."
A certain Eldest Young Master Si sneezed.
For some unknown reason, Shen Yue felt a competitive desire flare up. "My brother eats everything too."
Upon hearing this, Si Chengyou fell silent for a while before asking, "Then, shall we take leftovers back for our brothers to eat later?"
Shen Yichen also sneezed at that moment, having an uneasy premonition.
When Shen Yue heard Si Chengyou refer to "our" brothers, she realized something and stared into Si Chengyou's eyes accusingly, "Si Chengyou, you have no shame. That is my brother."
Si Chengyou pressed his lips for a moment before responding, "In that case, would you be willing for your brother to also become my brother?"
It was tactful, polite, and suitably measured.
But this was not the answer Shen Yue wanted to hear.
Her hand lightly tapped the table as she gently coaxed Si Chengou, "You shouldn't ask like that."
Si Chengyou understood Shen Yue's implication and decided to get straight to the point rather than beat around the bush. He asked directly, "Can I court you?"
It wasn't "I like you" or "I love you", can we be together, but rather "Can I court you?"
All Si Chengyou wanted was an opportunity, a chance for Shen Yue to judge whether she wanted to choose him or not.
He didn't want to force Shen Yue into hastily making a decision. He believed their every choice should be carefully and meaningfully made.
Shen Yue didn't rush to answer. Instead, she questioned him, "You're asking me now - what if I refuse? Won't you be worried that this meal will become awkward for us to keep eating?"
