Erik almost forgot that Crystal used to be a "King of the Eaters" in the neighborhood.
Since her childhood, Crystal's appetite had been very good. Every time she had a meal, Anthea would often have to advise her "Don't eat too much", for she worried that her daughter would become fatter and fatter as time went by.
However, the reality proved that this worry was unnecessary.
Although Crystal's appetite was so good, she had never become too fat. In fact, her figure had been slender and graceful.
Erik asked her, "You don't have to pretend to be a lady in front of me?"
Crystal shook her head. "You're different!"
Erik was her elder brother, and at the same time the most intimate person to her. She didn't need to disguise herself in front of him, and could do whatever she wanted.
Erik didn't ask any more questions. "You're different!"... This answer from Crystal was enough to arouse emotional resonance in him.
The noodle restaurant was run by an old couple. As the business was too busy, the boss's wife had to personally serve the noodles to the guests. She seemed to be very familiar with Crystal and greeted her warmly.
The noodles were cooked with beef and bone soup. They smelled delicious and were dotted with green vegetables.
Just by smelling the noodles, Crystal felt hungry and was eager to enjoy them.
She noticed that Erik was stirring the noodles with chopsticks. Thinking of the fact that he hadn't had dinner and had been waiting for her downstairs, she still felt very apologetic. She couldn't help but say, "Erik, I'm sorry. You waited for me for such a long time!"
Erik chuckled, "You're a silly girl!"
Crystal continued, "Next time I'll bring you to meet my boyfriend... Let's hang out together!"
"..." Erik's lips twitched.
He didn't want to hang out with Crystal and her boyfriend!
After Crystal consumed half a bowl of noodles, she noticed that the expression of Erik had become a little gloomy. She then asked with concern, "Erik, did you come across anything unpleasant at work?"
"No!" Erik said.
"Then, why do you look like you're in a bad mood?"
Erik became speechless again.
He sighed helplessly in his heart. His bad mood was caused by her!
However, someone still didn't know that she was the very person to be blamed for his bad mood. Now, she was looking at the noodles in his bowl without realizing that it was her fault. "He... Brother, don't you want to eat the noodles? If you don't, I'll help you to eat them. Otherwise, it would be a waste of our f H money!
Erik looked at her bulging cheeks. Her long eyelashes were just like two small feathered fans, and her face was a little chubby. When she blinked her eyes, she appeared to be beautiful and clever at the same time.
Well... Crystal's charming features were enough to feast the eyes of Erik.
He took a cigarette out of the box. After he lit it, his face was shrouded by the white smoke.
He blew out a smoke ring quietly, and then talked to her like a brother caring for his sister. "Little Star, why do you like him?"
Crystal was confused for a moment before realizing that her brother was referring to Kayden Kaine, her boyfriend.
This put her into a dilemma.
She actually agreed to become Kayden's girlfriend because she lost the game of "Truth or Dare". She couldn't answer him
exactly why she liked her boyfriend.
After thinking for a while, she used her nature as an excuse. "I like him simply because he is very handsome!"
Although Kayden was not the campus hunk in the college, he was still a handsome boy and popular among the girls.
However, no matter how handsome he was, he was still no match for Erik.
When Crystal thought of that, she could not help but turn her head to Erik.
With his head lowered, Erik was flicking the ashes of the cigarrete into the ashtray. The military cap was placed on the table. His hair was short and wiry, while his nose was as prominent as a little mountain. The side profile of his face signified a man of power and determination.
As he blew a cloud, his Adam's apple slightly rolled up and down, which was a sexy movement of masculinity.
Erik was even more handsome than some of the famous movie stars or pop singers.
Crystal's cheeks were slightly blushed.
It was only then that she realized that she had been staring at Erik for a long time... She was so deeply attracted by his masculine charm!
Crystal lowered her eyes as if she had done something inappropriate.
