Chapter 1343


    Lena softly chuckled and nodded, then shook her head.


    Chris did not quite understand what she meant. Lena did not exin but simply continued walking


    along the street, with Chris following behind.


    The evening breeze carried a gentle chill, and the moon shone in the night sky, resembling a silver


    te. Its soft light covered them and filled the city with a peaceful feeling.


    The feeling of having someone by her side felt really nice. Lena had been missing this feeling for too


    long.


    “Lena, you’re not nning to walk all the way back, are you?”


    She stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him.


    Mr. Special Forces looked anxious, but his eyes were filled with anticipation.


    “Well…” Lena’s voice was soft. “Are you going to take me back?”


    “I won’t take you back.” Chris chuckled. “I want to treat you to ate-night snack.”


    “Huh?”


    Without waiting for further exnation, Chris took Lena’s hand and ran.


    Lena’s heart jolted. Her rational mind wanted to pull away, but her fingers held on tightly.


    As the wind brushed past her lips when they ran, it carried a faintly sweet scent. Lena giggled and ran

    Before long, Chris brought her to a small pizza parlor. The sign was notrge, but the ce was very


    clean. The owner was a genial middle-aged man, his voice booming as he weed them. His


    laughter was especially hearty.


    It was alreadyte at night, and no other patrons were in the shop.


    Chris led Lena to a table by the window and ordered two small pizzas.


    When the steaming pizzas arrived, neither of them made a move.


    Chris smiled at her. “What’s wrong?”


    Perhaps sensing the confusion in her eyes, he took the initiative to exin, “The owner of this pizza


    ce is arade’s father from my unit. Don’t be fooled by the small size of the shop. The portions


    are generous, and the ce is clean. The taste is pretty good, too. All the pizzas are hand-rolled by my


    comrade’s father!”


    Upon saying that, Chris added some pepper kes to her pizza. “This makes it even tastier!”


    Lena paused before she smiled and asked him softly after a while, “Do you get along well with your


    formerrades?”


    Chris did not know what she wanted to ask.


    “I… I had a good first day at work.” Lena said, “It’s just that dealing with interpersonal rtionships is a


    headache. I can ignore them, but sometimes, a project requires everyone to coborate. If I keep


    ignoring them, then…”


    “It’s actually not a big deal.” Chris smiled. “Some people are just not suited for socializing. People like


    Toph, who are social butterflies, are rare and hard to find.”Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    “Don’t you think there might be something wrong with me?”


    “Of course not!” Chris looked at her earnestly. “In fact, I’m not good at dealing with interpersonal


    rtionships either… Lena, don’t you think we’re a match?”


    Lena blushed and focused on eating her pizza.


    However, Chris was quick to act. Before she could pick up a pizza slice, he quickly reached over and


    snatched thergest slice from her.


    “Hey, you…”


    “I’m just trying it!”


    Lena was exasperated. She piled up the slices in his ce instead. As she did, she discovered a heart-


    shaped egg underneath the pizza.


    Chris leaned over to look, chuckling. “Oh my, whose heart is this? How did it end up on your te?”
