Beata liked the fatty roe the most. She didn’t need to eat the meat, but she must taste the roe.
Thinking for a while, Beata saw Yael put the disassembled hairy crabs on the plate. The part with more roe should be placed on the plate, while the other part, he was continuing to disassemble.
Both hands were occupied. Obviously, this gave Beata a good opportunity to sneak attack.
Beata saw the timing, and stretched out the hand towards the hairy crab on Yael’s plate, and quickly picked up a piece of roe and put it in her mouth, without daring to swallow it directly. For this hard-won roe, she had to taste it slowly and carefully.
Yael was amused by Beata’s actions. Although he had already seen through her little tricks, he still cooperated with her performance. Most importantly, he made Beata think that it was her own wit that allowed her to have such a delicious roe.
Seeing Beata’s lively expression of satisfaction, Yael suddenly didn’t want to care so much.
What did he do with so much care?
He was happy and that was the most important thing.
There were two large crabs, and Beata watched as Yael opened them one by one, eating them bite by bite.
After the first surprise attack, Beata didn’t have the courage to try it again. Yael actually gave her a second chance, but Beata didn’t dare. Yael knew about her lack of bravery.
So Yael’s speed in opening the crabs noticeably increased and soon both crabs were gone. This way,
Beata wouldn’t have to see it happen.
After finishing dinner at the Harlequin Cuisine, Beata and Yael left together. Although Beata only ate two of the crabs, she had eaten a lot of other things. She wasn’t a big eater but her stomach was feeling full now.
Plus, she didn’t want to go home yet and most importantly she wanted to be with Yael. So she said,
“Yael, let’s take a walk. I feel so stuffed that I don’t want to sit in the car.”
She deliberately made it sound serious; if someone asked her to sit in a car right now, she would really throw up.
Yael had no objection so he walked along with Beata on the road.
There was a particularly large park near the Harlequin Cuisine where many people came for walks at this time of day. There was also music which added to its grandeur.
However, this was the first time that Beata saw people dancing in such a place because she lived in the
Knight Mansion all her life and went back-and-forth from school by car every day without ever having an opportunity like this before.
Beata stood on the side watching everyone dance uniformly; everything looked fresh in her eyes.
But there was one thing that was particularly bad about Beata – stiff limbs!
How stiff were they? In physical education tests when doing sitting forward bends, not only can’t she touch her toes but even just getting past knee level was difficult for her! Every time during these tests, teachers criticized students who can’t do well physically. Beata looked cute enough, plus nobody dared offend the Knight family anyway so even if they criticized or made fun of Beata’s performance, they won’t say anything too harshly insulting towards Beata herself.
But still deep down inside herself, Beata didn’t want anyone else pointing out how bad off physically speaking she really was!
Now watching others dancing around here made Beata gesture slightly: forget it! These high difficulty movements were not suitable for her!
Yael lowered his eyes seeing Beata’s small movements while his gaze softened slightly. He knew very well that Beata’s stiff limbs were almost equivalent to prosthetics, but if she wanted to dance, he would let her dance.
“Want to give it a try?” Yael asked.
Beata shook her head quickly and said, “Don’t scare me. I don’t want to embarrass myself.”
With so many people watching, it was one thing for her to lose face at school, but there was no need for her to do so outside as well. Plus, it would affect the city’s appearance.
“I can accompany you,” Yael said.
Upon hearing this, Beata was completely stunned. Although she hadn’t interacted with Yael much before this moment, the Knights were all basically on River’s wavelength – cold and unapproachable –
and they wouldn’t bother doing something like this.
Yael usually had a poker face without any expression at all; he just happened to be good-looking enough not to make people feel scared. But even so, Yael wasn’t exactly a gentle person either.
Now here was a man like him saying such gentle words; the contrast really caught Beata off guard.
Most importantly though when she met his gaze directly, she could clearly feel his doting affection towards her – yes that was right: doting affection!
Having written so many romance novels herself even if Beata hadn’t personally experienced such feelings firsthand yet herself in reality, she knew what it meant when someone felt that way about another person.
But now this made things too difficult for her because she couldn’t refuse Yael at all!
Her heart felt like there was a deer jumping up and down inside of it wildly, bounding around and hitting against every corner of Beata’s innermost being over and over again. She even had an urge deep within herself, wanting to yell out loud: “Oh my god, please stop treating me so nicely!”
She didn’t want any of this!
Beata said, “You go first and I’ll follow your movements.”
Yael smirked slightly and said, “Okay.”
What Beata thought next was that although losing face wasn’t ideal, as long as Yael didn’t see, then maybe some dignity could still be preserved within herself. So, what followed in the park square looked like an attractive young man who exuded an icy cool aura from head-to-toe learning how perform dancing moves from the elderly while trying his best not look awkward or stiff doing them himself.
Beata had initially agreed to join in on the dancing with a “whatever” attitude. Although she felt embarrassed, she wasn’t the type of person to hold back once she had committed to something.
But after seeing Yael’s moves, Beata completely relaxed. She realized that Yael wasn’t necessarily better than her and that they could both look silly together.
Beata instantly became happy and started copying Yael’s movements with confidence. Onlookers were stunned and wondered if Beata was not very bright for choosing to copy the handsome young man instead of the older folks who were doing it correctly.
They thought it was funny how this pretty girl looked so awkward while doing these simple steps.
Finally, a woman couldn’t take it anymore and told Beata, “Girl, don’t follow your boyfriend’s moves!
Look at him; he’s leading you astray!”
Beata felt embarrassed by what the woman said but didn’t want to admit that following Yael was actually easier than trying to keep up with the older folks’ dance steps. If she followed them instead, she might end up looking like a zombie!
Yael heard what was going on and stopped his movements. He turned around and saw Beata blushing from embarrassment but still smiling at him. He didn’t tease her about it though.
The woman who spoke earlier finally got a good look at Yael’s face and exclaimed how handsome he was! She wished he wasn’t there with his girlfriend because then maybe she could get his What’s App for her daughter who loved good-looking men but couldn’t find one herself!
The woman even joined in on this dance event just so she can meet new people including potential boyfriends for her daughter!
It had been half a month since she started attending these events without any luck until now when she finally met someone interesting only for him already having a girlfriend, which made her feel disappointed.
Yael was always very perceptive when it came to reading people’s emotions. He could quickly tell what someone was thinking just by looking at their facial expressions. At this moment, he had already figured out what the old lady was up to.
So even though Beata wasn’t actually his girlfriend, he didn’t feel the need to explain anything. Luckily,
Beata didn’t try to explain either and they both let the misunderstanding slide, saving themselves some trouble.
The old lady clearly wanted to chat with Yael a bit more. Her thoughts were not exactly pure as she thought that in this ever-changing world, who knew what could happen? Maybe one second they were just boyfriend and girlfriend but the next second they might be something else entirely. She also thought that if she left her contact information with Yael, maybe there would be a chance for her daughter.
Furthermore, even if this young man wasn’t suitable for her daughter, birds of a feather flock together and all of his friends must also be exceptional people. This handsome young man surely had other attractive friends around him and once they got acquainted, maybe he could introduce them too.
She had already made up her mind but before she could say anything, she heard a sudden cry of
“ouch!” from Beata who stumbled towards Yael.
Yael quickly caught Beata’s arm and pulled her close to him while asking if she was okay. Poor Beata looked at him pitifully, saying how much it hurt while holding up her foot which seemed twisted in an awkward angle.
Without hesitation or giving the old lady any chance to speak again, Yael scooped up Beata into his arms saying, “I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Before anyone knew it, Yael had already walked away, leaving behind an exasperated old lady who couldn’t believe how fast things changed without giving her any opportunity whatsoever!
Beata was carried by Yael to the other side of the square, and she kicked her legs and said, “Yael, put me down.”
Yael stopped and put Beata on the ground.
Beata laughed uncontrollably until her stomach hurt. She couldn’t stand up so she sat on the ground.
Yael looked at her with helplessness in his eyes.
After a while, Beata finally stopped laughing. She looked at Yael and said, “Yael, I saved you once.”
The old lady’s thoughts were written all over her face. Although Beata usually acted carefree, she was very sensitive in situations like this.
Yael said, “Thank you.”
Beata snorted softly and got up from the ground. She had her hands on his hips and looked at Yael saying, “Just two words? That’s not sincere enough.”
Yael had a voice in his heart telling him that he was afraid to scare her away with his sincerity.
Although Beata didn’t expect Yael to say more than that, when he nodded along with what she wanted, it made her feel good inside because it seemed like he would agree to anything she asked for.
However, she quickly abandoned the idea of deliberately making things difficult for him since it wasn’t fair or kind-hearted of herself to do so.
She said, “My request is simple: starting tomorrow, you’ll pick me up from school, take me out for meals, and if I think of anything else, I’ll tell you, and you have to promise me everything.”
Yael laughed inwardly; if he were someone else , this would be an unequal contract.
However, between them there was no such problem. He had always been willing to obey whatever requests Beata made. So basically, this request from Beata was just testing how far Yael would go for her sake.
Yael replied, “Okay.”
Beata became even happier now.
In any case, Yael could see her every day from now on. Therefore, she had no worries whatsoever.
She can also go to test what she wanted to verify openly and confidently, and believe that soon she will get a satisfactory result.
As it happened, she gave herself three months, and there were only two possible outcomes. But for her, both outcomes were good.
Beata said, “It’s getting late. Let’s go back. I’m feeling a bit tired.”
Yael nodded and said, “Let’s go.”
As soon as the two turned around to head towards the parking lot, Beata saw a huge black figure running towards her.
Not seeing clearly what it was, Beata was startled and instinctively tried to hide behind Yael.
Yael also grabbed Beata’s arm in one go and blocked her behind her.
However, when Beata saw what it was, she jumped out from behind Yael with excitement.
