Chapter 1465
Chapter 1465
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. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
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.
After finishing the soup and noodles in the bowl, she finally was able to calm herself down.
She raised her head again and saw that he had lit the second cigarrete.
Crystal said, "Erik, it's better for you to smoke less. Dad used to smoke too, but Mom told me that he quit smoking a long time ago!"
Erik naturally knew about it. He was still their adopted son back then. After Anthea was pregnant, Adam quit smoking, and had not touched any cigarette since then.
He was aware of the fact that smoking was not good for his health. However, he had lived in Tbridge City, a high-attitude area, for years, and therefore he needed cigarettes and nicotine to comfort himself, especially when he missed her.
Crystal continued to persuade him, "You are still young, and it would be easier for you to quit smoking now. What if your future girlfriend doesn't like the smell of cigarretes?
After Crystal finished speaking, she deliberately tightened her nostrils and waved the white smoke in front of her face away with her hands.
Erik curled up his lips and put out the cigarette in the ashtray. "Well... I'll quit."
Crystal's eyes glittered with happiness.
She pretended to lower her head to adjust her cuffs which had been rolled up. Her expression was somewhat unnatural now, and she felt a strange feeling of shyness.
Glancing at the broken cigarette in the ashtray, Crystal swallowed her saliva.
She must have thought too much about it!
They almost finished the two bowls of noodles completely. After paying the bill, they left the noodle restaurant.
Crystal touched her small but round belly and habitually became a little sleepy after eating.
She looked at Erik's broad shoulders eagerly. A sly and cunning light flashed through her eyes.
Crystal said to him coquettishly, "Erik, I don't want to walk anymore!"
"What's wrong?" Erik raised his eyebrows.
Crystal blinked at him and said in a somewhat shameless tone, "Can you carry me on your back?"
Erik laughed.
"Good! Come on!"
He put the military cap on his head. Then, he took two steps forward and crouched down in front of her.
Crystal's little trick had worked! She smiled and revealed her little white teeth. She happily threw her arms around his neck and stuck her body to his back as if she was afraid that he would go back on his words.
Erik's shoulders and back were wide, thick, and powerful.
Crystal could now feel the temperature on his body. It was warm and comfortable.
She got closer to his ears and whispered with a smile, "Erik, I feel so wonderful!"
"Hmm?" Erik slightly turned his face back and saw that her eyebrows were curved like a crescent moon in the night.
Crystal added, "I said the feeling was wonderful. I just felt like we had become children again!"
When they were still children, they often went to or left the school together. Sometimes she didn't want to walk by herself. She would naughtily insist that Erik should carry her on his back.
Erik had now become a military officer of indomitable spirit and was full of masculinity.
The two of them had been separated for so many years. As a result, the relationship between them was a little awkward at the beginning. However, at this moment, they seemed to return to the past, and the sense of alienation was removed by intimate interaction.
"Good!" Erik’s eyes seemed to be filled with tenderness.
The orange light from the streetlamps seemed to light up the path to the future for the two of them.
Erik deliberately slowed down his steps and lifted her up a little.
For a military officer of special forces like him, who was quite used to carrying dozens of kilograms of equipment on his back in cross-country programs, she was almost as light as a feather.
Erik frowned and said, "Why are you so light? You have eaten so much meat since you were a kid. Where have they gone?"
"Heh-heh..." Crystal laughed happily.
When she laughed, her body moved slightly.
Her breasts were heavily pressed onto Erik's back. His footsteps halted for a moment.
He felt thirsty...
He finally realized how heavy she was.
