I don’t want to stay there alone.“All right, miss, your food is ready! Oh, and I must say, your boyfriend’s very handsome!” the food truck owner teased as he handed a bag of food to Sophie.Just as she was about to pay by scanning the QR code with her phone, Tristan handed a hundred in cash to the owner.“That’s right, miss. You guys are dating, so don’t be shy to spend your boyfriend’s money,” the owner said with a chuckle while looking for change.“Keep the change,” Tristan uttered.Thanks to the owner’s words, his gloomy mood had done a complete one-eighty.Sophie, too, could also sense the drastic change in him.Wow, he sure has cheered up a lot!Later, on their way home, Sophie bought a case of beer at the convenience store.“Let me take that!” Tristan offered.Sophie didn’t reject him either and handed the beers over without hesitation.

That’s all.Despite having a high alcohol tolerance, she still couldn’t stop her face from getting warm and flushed after downing a few cans of beer at one go.Just as she was about to open another beer, Tristan grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.Sophie looked up at him in surprise. “What do you want?”“I think you’ve had enough.”“Oh.
