《Languor || Zhong Chenle》Doing Great
Advertisement
I'm standing still, looking at Chenle.
Chenle asked when i take too long staring at him.
I lift my right arm and hold my fingers out while bending my elbows, waiting for him to escort me ten feet forward to the car. Chenle looks at me, flustered, then starts walking up to me. Hrvy starts to panic and rush to the car to open the door.
Chenle positioned himself beside me before holding my hand with his left one and started walking. Hand in hand. I lift my dress a little with my left hand when we pass the stairs.
Chenle said.
Smiling freakishly with his slightly blushed face, residual from when he was flustered. The car is in front of me, Chenle let me step forward into the car before doing so himself.
"It's okay, i heard you have flawless manners," i said.
Chenle looks at me. Slightly flustered by the way i spoke.
In high society, what i said is an insult. When one said they heard that the other have flawless manners when the other had just made a mistake is a way to express insult. The one that made the mistake usually gets ashamed upon hearing that.
In high society, almost all of the insults are sugarcoated.
I curved my lips.
"Ha, look at me," i said in my head, boasting that i had just insulted this grumpy thing with such a subtle burn.
Chenle responded.
Hrvy drives the both of us to the restaurant. No music is being played in the car. The silence is almost palpable to my tastebuds. The ride continues as normal as it can be.
The scenery turn into the busy city street, leading the vehicle to a big building that is right by the car by now. I almost move my hand to open the door before i stop, waiting for Chenle.

He sighs.
Chenle then walk to the other side of the car and wear his hand out to help me out and again, walk hand in hand to the building. Classical music plays faintly in the entrance of the building, gradually turning into a constant hum.
Chenle and i arrived at the table. He slid out the chair and wait for me to sit before taking a seat in front of me.
He won't let any other chance for me to ridicule him.
How unfortunate.
I noticed a few eyes here and there looking at us. Some whispering to their partners upon seeing the sight of Chenle and i. A pair even look at me with disgusts.
The dinner course begin.
From the first course to the last one, i pour all of the knowledge that was rammed into my head. No flaw. I'm certain of what i'm doing.
Chenle complimented, going in with his cat calling habit.
I smirk at him. Purposedly swirling the red wine around the glass and taking a subtle whiff before sipping into it.
Underage drinking.
I did it.
Not exactly proud.
Chenle said with a sinister smile.
"I'm only giving the chef a credit, i'm sure you also understand that sir," i responded.
Chenle said, annoyed.
Chenle must be waiting for me to make mistakes since the start. This boy and his nature.

Ruins of Dalághast
I've been writing for as long as I can remember, but I'd always been torn between different projects. That's why I decided to dedicate myself to a pretty strict schedule of writing and editing a single chapter every month since the start of 2019. This is an ongoing, work in progress novel that follows a ragtag group of sellswords as they delve into a lost city on the edge of the known world in search of their fortunes. Within, though, they find much more than they ever expected and find themselves in a race against time to unravel a mystery centuries old. For those who want to see my work months earlier than it will be released here, alongside exclusive artwork and other perks, consider supporting me and my work on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/atlaswrites
