A Love Trap

They added fish slices and shrimps into the simmering pot of soup. People who were crazy about hot pot would always put those in.

Greyson was a foodie but it was his first time trying hot pot.

Discretely, he observed what Ashley and Ellie were doing and he was able to learn the ways of eating hot pot quickly. 'You put the food in the pot and then you can eat it, ' he said to himself.

'But time is important. Some ingredients need to be cooked a little longer and some don't.'

"Try this, Greyson. It's really good," the two foodies recommended as they kept adding food to his plate.

They hadn't known him for a long time, but they had already thought of Greyson as their friend. They were at ease with him.

Although the two girls ordered plenty of food, the three didn't waste any. When they finished the meal, they were so full that they could barely button their pants.

As a sign of gratitude, Greyson wanted to pay their bill. However, since it was Ashley's treat, she refused his proposal adamantly.

She then went to the counter to pay the bill, leaving Ellie and Greyson in their seats.

While alone in each other's company, Greyson and Ellie started to chat.

"Ellie, may I know your WeChat account?" Greyson asked. "I only have an older brother. Since you and Ashley have been so nice to me, I feel like you are my sisters," he admitted shyly. "I really would like to be friends with the both of you. How about we exchange WeChat accounts so we can keep in touch?" His cheeks were turning bright red.

Ellie had no heart to refuse his request.

The two not only exchanged their WeChat accounts but also phone numbers.

When Ashley made her way back to their table from the counter, she found the two talking and laughing.

The whole scene rendered her speechless. 'She said that she was afraid that I might be fooled, and she even suspected Greyson was a bad person.
