Lehi warmly smiled at him when he continues to pull the chair for him wherever they are.

A scroll revealed a direction to start the first question made Lehi sweat.

"Have ever been in love before finally getting married? "

Ophir just uttered a big No. Lehi tried to deny it when the lotus in front of them was likely to lose a single petal and just admitted it. She regain her stance and directly said Yes.

Ophir clench the edge of the table cloth from Lehi's answer and just averted his eyes from her.
