When Has It Not?

The moment Gu Luoxin took his first bite, an explosion of rich and heavy flavors tore through the bitterness that had dulled his tongue for days, forcibly awakening his taste buds. The swirling thoughts in his head burst akin to fragile bubbles, and all he could do was stare at Noir wide-eyed in shock, a faint twinkle emerging in his tired eyes. 

In response, Noir simply arched a knowing brow as if saying, 'See? What did I tell you?'

Damn, who gave him the right to be so handsome? Gu Luoxin scowled inwardly as he bit into the skewer with exaggerated force, as if venting his frustration on the innocent piece of meat. And then he belatedly realized that he couldn't seem to stop his mouth. Damn, why is this so good?!

And so, the two of them polished off the table of food without a word, drawing sidelong glances from the other customers.
