One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire's Sweet Love
chapter-3870

She said she was having western food with a man, not a celebrity, for the first time. She actually treated him like an ordinary man.

When Hua Jin heard this, he was overwhelmed by a sense of relief. It had been a long time since he had been as relaxed as this moment. Having debuted for so long, few people seemed to view him as an ordinary man.

He no longer had to act like an idol. The man leaned back lazily in his chair. He crossed his arms, puzzled. “Ever been on a date?”

“What?”

“Have you ever dated a man?”

Liang Yin replied, “No, I’ve never had a boyfriend.”

“Then, consider this your first date.”

Liang Yin teased, “But you’re not my boyfriend. Besides, eating with a woman doesn’t count as a date, right?”

Hua Jin snorted arrogantly and pressed the serving bell. Two rings later, a sweet appetizer was served. The two bowls of corn chowder with crispy toasts were rich and delicious.

Liang YIn kept observing Hua Jin. She had never eaten posh western food before, so even handling a simple appetizer made her feel a little helpless.

Understanding the distress, the actor took a piece of toast with his bare hands and dipped it into the corn soup. When Liang Yin saw it, she immediately followed suit and dipped the toast in the soup. The crispy toast immediately softened and the rich aroma filled her mouth.

“Wow...” An extremely satisfied expression appeared on Liang Yin’s face!

Delicious! Good food could really bring happiness. The piece of French toast swept away the gloom that Liang Yin had experienced on the set, so all her disappointment and sadness disappeared.

Hua Jin was dumbfounded. It was just a slice of toast. Wasn’t it rather exaggerated?

Very soon, the waiter brought over another thin-base pizza. The actor cut her a slice and Liang Yin took a bite. He was quite at a loss for reaction at her expression of enjoyment. It turned out that sometimes, happiness was such a simple thing. Even simply a portion of corn chowder?

Liang Yin said enviously, “You can eat such delicious food every day. I’m jealous.”

Hua Jin gave her a meaningful look. “I envy you for the ability to feel so happy over a portion of corn chowder.”

Liang Yin’s expression froze. She understood the underlying meaning of his words.

She looked down at the corn chowder beside her and said wistfully, “Because I’ve never tasted anything so good.”

“Is that so?”

“When you’ve never had it, you’ll treasure it and it will bring happiness. When something is beyond your own ability to attain, it becomes especially precious.”

Liang Yin continued, “When I was young, I was especially envious of a neighbor’s child. Her parents were divorced and no one cared about her since she was little. She was alone and could play for as long as she wanted. It didn’t matter even when it got dark. She didn’t do her homework and didn’t do well in her exams. She was never criticized. However, later, when it happened to me, I started to envy the other students in the class. They had parents. When they returned home, they had the warmth of their family.”

Liang Yin sighed as the actor replied, “If you ate the same corn chowder every day, you’ll get tired of it. Things you like aren’t so rare once they become the norm. That’s how life works. There’s never full satisfaction. It seems that it’s only when you lose something that you feel how precious it was.”
