Chapter 675 Strawberry Heaven In The Fridge


    The clock struck nine in the morning. For certain, those who worked white-cored jobs were


    already sitting in their offices. They wouldn''t be taking the subway around this time. Besides,


    Michelle''s club was located in a quiet old district, and so there would be fewer people taking the


    subway.


    As expected, there were few people in the carriage, and there were empty seats everywhere. They


    decided to sit near the exit. Michelle sat on the inner side by the door, while Leon sat next to her.


    The air conditioner was turned on fine in the subway, which gave the whole cabin a cool


    atmosphere.

    For Leon, it was his very first time to try the subway, and so he felt a little novel and could not help


    but look around with curiosity. Since it was clean and quiet, he epted the experience as okay.


    The only thing that he was dissatisfied about was the advertisement that yed on the small screen


    stuck at the top of the wall across them. He found the advertisement inferior overall. Both the


    shooting method and the design itself made him frown. He didn''t agree with thepany''s chosen


    aesthetic and concept for its advertisement.


    Because of that, he looked away with dissatisfaction on his eyes.


    As for Michelle, she wasn''t able to sleep wellst night. She kept on turning and rolling around on


    her bed, wondering if she should grab her phone to contact Leon. She wondered whether she


    should already confess her love or wait for the right time. She didn''t know when the right time was,


    though.


    After all, it was the first time she had felt this feeling of love for someone. She tossed and turned


    until the sun was almost up that dawn. All she decided was to grab her phone and contact Leon.


    She was still thinking about it while she was taking a shower that morning and almost scratched her


    scalp because of how bothered she was.


    She hadn''t been sleeping well during thest month because of Leon.


    Since she was sleepless and with the cool breeze of the air conditioner, she felt sleep and


    exhaustion embrace her. She yawned and said, "Leon, if you won''t mind, I''ll just take a nap. Wake


    me up when we''re close to the transfer station."


    Without waiting for him to reply or say anything back, she closed her eyes and leaned her head on


    the pole beside her. As soon as she did, she let sleep take over.


    Leon wanted to say something, but after seeing how tired Michelle looked, he decided not to say it.


    Then, he took his phone out to check on the subway route. He had never taken a subway before, so


    he didn''t know which stop was the transfer station.


    After reading about it on the Inte and figuring out the route, he recited the ce softly, just in


    case he would make a mistake.


    The subway had passed two or three stops by now, and people came in and out one after another.


    There were more people now than when they got on it. By this time, all seats were filled, and many


    people had to stand.


    Being in this situation made Leon frown slightly. After another three stops, the carriage began to be


    ufortably crowded for Leon. Although he was relieved not to see the inferior advertisement


    anymore, since it was being blocked by the people standing, he still felt ufortable from


    smelling a weird mixture of different kinds of perfume to catching someone take stolen photos of


    him with their mobile phone.


    The satisfaction he felt the moment he settled down in this seat was nowhere near the uneasiness


    he felt now. Then again, he couldn''t directly express his anger and difort, since he had always


    been a gentleman. He politely confronted the girl and requested for her to delete the photos, but the


    girl denied and refuted that she didn''t take any.


    Because of the denial, Leon was nowpletely angry, but he still kept hisposure and did not


    argue with the girl about this matter anymore. He then decided to inform Bryant about it and asked


    him to monitor the Inte for any stolen photos of him inside the subway. Once the girl was proven


    guilty of taking photos of him, he would not hesitate suing her in the name of viting the portraiture


    right.


    As soon as they were arriving at the transfer station, Leon woke Michelle up. When they got off,


    Bryant informed him that his photos were exposed on the Inte, and the girl was sued as


    nned.


    The overall experience of his first subway ride made Leon very unhappy and uneasy. Meanwhile,


    during the whole situation, Michelle was unaware and asleep.


    As soon as they arrived at home, she woke herself up by sshing a handful of cold water on her


    face. When the water slid down her eyes and down her cheeks, she rubbed her face with her


    hands, and she realized toote the mistake she did. Her make-up was nowpletely ruined.


    Seeing her messy face in the mirror, she was frightened, taking two steps back. With her sudden


    move, she hit her back on the door, which made a loud noise.


    "Michelle? Are you okay? What happened?" As soon as Leon heard the noise, he rushed over and


    opened the door. He came to face a frightened Michelle with her ruined make-up, which made him


    giggle gently.


    When their eyes met, Michelle''s eyes went wide and she immediately turned her back at Leon.


    Then, she saw her face in the mirror, which he could see as well, and so with no ce left to hide,


    she pushed him with her head down and closed the door quickly.


    "Leon, tell me! You didn''t see anything, right?" Michelle said, feeling annoyed with herself as she


    turned the faucet on once more and started to wipe the mess out of her face.


    Leon chuckled at this and left without saying a word.


    Inside the bathroom, Michelle made sure to wash her face and remove her make-up. Because of


    how embarrassed she was, her face was still flushed red.


    As she stared at her clean face, she thought, ''Ugh, this is so embarrassing!


    Leon won''t think I''m beautiful anymore.


    Boys like beautiful girls.


    Good-looking boys must like girls who are very beautiful to match their league.


    I am not beautiful anymore.


    What should I do?''


    Feeling upset, she pped the surface of the water in the basin, making water ssh in all


    directions. After mustering up enough courage, she finally walked out of the bathroom with a


    depressed look.


    She dragged herself into the living room and asked, "Leon, do you think I''m beautiful, or do you


    think I''m cute?"


    Confused by her question, Leon turned to look at her. Her lips were pursed and was formed into a


    pout.


    Without thinking much about it, he said, "Cute."


    Hearing his answer, Michelle thought, ''Sure enough.


    I am not beautiful anymore.''


    She took a deep breath and exhaled it out loud. Feeling discouraged with her bulging cheeks, she


    said softly, "Okay."


    The more aggrieved she looked, the softer it made Leon feel deep in his heart. He walked towards


    her and flicked his finger on her forehead. As soon as she raised her head, a flower appeared in


    front of her.


    He was holding a red rose.


    He could not hide a red strawberry behind white petals.


    Although it was a small trick, he still tried his best and hoped that this would lift Michelle''s mood up.


    Seeing the surprise, Michelle''s eyes immediately lit up. The depressed look on her face was now


    gone.


    "Blow this rose with your powerful magic," Leon said. He covered the rose with his hand, and as


    soon as her warm breath fell on the back of his hand, he withdrew his hand.


    The rose that was once on it was now turned into a bright and plump strawberry.


    Michelle pped her hands in awe. She picked the strawberry and ate it, feeling happy and content.


    Leon was happy that she was no longer looking aggrieved. "Do me a favor, please. Head to the


    fridge and grab a bottle of drink for me. Any drink will do."


    "Sure," Michelle said with a smile. She walked happily towards the fridge. As soon as she opened it,


    a sweet and sour fragrance floated in the cold air and lingered in her nose.


    Her eyes widened in shock. Her face beamed with glee as soon as she saw the strawberry pudding.


    Thin strawberry slices were around the pudding. In addition, more strawberries were piled on top,


    and on top of them was a mint leaf.


    Beside the strawberry pudding, there were also a strawberry cake, a strawberry tart, strawberry


    jam, and so on.


    On the topyer of the fridge, there was a te of neatly piled fresh and plump strawberries. The


    fridge was a strawberry heaven, like it was the disy from a strawberry-themed dessert shop.


    Everything inside of it made Michelle''s mouth water in desire.


    Coming to her senses, she shouted happily, "Leon!" She bounced excitedly up and down in front of


    the fridge. She looked over back towards the treats and started to enjoy how aesthetic and pleasing


    they looked. Without looking away from the treats as if they were going to be taken away from her,


    she asked out loud, "There are so many strawberries in here. Can I eat them?"


    "Of course. I got them all for you."


    Before he could finish his sentence, Michelle could not wait anymore and picked up sugarcoated


    strawberries on a stick and took a huge bite.


    She moaned by how delicious it tasted. With her bite, the sugar coating broke, and a small piece


    stained the corner of her mouth. She licked it with her tongue.


    Leon wanted to see how happy she was, so he walked over towards her, but as he neared, he


    watched her lick the sugar with the tip of her tongue. Unconsciously, his Adam''s apple bobbed


    slightly.
