Editor: Henyee Translations
"I wasn’t busy for long. It ended around eight. I was afraid I would disturb you after you rested." Ethan was afraid that Anita would ask him, so he thought of an excuse already.
Now that he heard Anita mention it, he said the excuse quickly.
"Okay, by the way, there’s something I want you to taste. Let’s see if you remember," Anita said as she opened the bag she always carried and pulled out two peppermint candies.
Then, she poured the ice water that the waiter had just brought over into their glasses and placed them in front of them. Then, she looked up at Ethan and said, "Here, let’s see if you still remember."
Ethan saw a candy in Anita’s outstretched hand. The candy was the one they used to eat often. He looked at the ice water in front of him. He understood immediately.
This was what the two of them used to do when they were together. After putting a mint in her mouth and taking a sip of ice water to swallow, her entire throat and stomach immediately felt cold and extremely comfortable.
At that time, the people around them didn’t understand their actions, but the two of them didn’t care what others thought.
Eating mint and drinking ice water became their favorite activity when they met. Moreover, every time they did this, the two of them would be happy for a long time.
After Ethan composed himself, he reached out and picked up the candy in Anita’s hand.
After Ethan took the candy, Anita retracted her hand and opened the other candy to put in her mouth. Then, she picked up the ice water in front of her and smiled at Ethan. "Cheers."
Ethan didn’t hesitate to open the candy and put it in his mouth. Then, he picked up the glass of water and said, "Cheers."
After drinking a mouthful of water, the two of them put down their glasses at the same time and looked at each other simultaneously. At this moment, the two of them saw joy in their eyes.
At this moment, it was as if the two of them had never been apart. Ethan froze for a moment. His hand reached over the table and held Anita’s hand.
Anita looked at her hand and smiled. "Ethan, we can still be friends, right?"
With that, she looked at Ethan. Anita had actually wanted to say this for a long time, but she was afraid of getting an answer that would upset her. She had finally asked today.
As Ethan listened to Anita’s words and saw the look of anticipation on her face, he knew that he probably wouldn’t be able to forget Anita again in the future, but he also didn’t want to lose Anita as a friend.
So in the end, he smiled and said, "Yes, we’re still good friends."
Anita smiled happily when she heard Ethan’s words. She had to admit, this was the happiest she had been in months, because she had finally found what was important to her.
This feeling of regaining what she had lost was too good. "Ethan, thank you. Thank you for still being friends with me." Anita looked at Ethan with her eyes teary.
"Anita, I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for still being willing to forgive me and be friends with me." Ethan finally moved past it and said to Anita seriously.
Anita looked up and saw the sincerity in Ethan’s eyes. She understood immediately. In fact, Ethan hadn’t contacted her in the past few months for another reason. And he probably didn’t really want to cut ties with her.
"Excuse me, your food is ready," the waiter said as he walked to the dining table.
This also broke the silence between the two of them. They quickly composed themselves, looked at each other, and then laughed.
"This is the Wellington beef you guys ordered and this is the Stargazer pie," the waiter said as he placed their dishes on the table. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"This is the Stargazer pie?" Anita looked at the dishes on the table and asked in confusion.
"Yes, this is the Stargazer pie," the waiter replied quickly while looking at Anita.
"O... okay." Anita didn’t know what to say to express her feelings. She could only look at the waiter in a daze.
"The dishes are all here. Please enjoy. If you need anything, please ring the bell on the table." The waiter turned and left.
After the waiter left, Anita finally couldn’t control the expression on her face. "Ethan, look at the Stargazy pie. Oh my God!"
Ethan looked at the dishes on the table and laughed helplessly. He could completely understand Anita’s expression. Wasn’t it supposed to be Stargazy pie? Why had it become a pizza and a few fish looking up at the sky?
"Yes, so that’s what the name ’Stargazy pie’ means. It means that a few fish look up at the sky," Anita suddenly said softly in dejection.
