âI brought something else.â
Orion interrupted him.
âSomething else? Like what?â
Please, not something like a lollipop. She wasnât that easy to please!
Orion reached over to open the mini fridge in the car. Xanthea leaned in curiously and saw adorable animal-shaped cakes with a zodiac theme.
âAw! Theyâre so cute!â
Her eyes sparkled with delight as she almost dove into the fridge, but the man lifted her out by the back of her neck.
âDo you like them?â
âYes, yes, yes!â
âPick one.â
âIâll pick...â
Thatâs when Xanthea noticed there wasnât a Scorpio among the cupcakes. He knew she was terrified of scorpions and had deliberately left it out. How thoughtful he was!
She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the right cheek, with an enchanting smile, âOri, pick for me.â
The manâs gaze darkened slightly, then he tilted his left cheek toward her to hint, âThis side too.â
Xanthea: âMua!â
Orion picked one for herâa Gemini-themed cupcake with two adorable twin figures holding hands. Xanthea happily took it and, holding the fork, hesitated for a moment. It was just too cute to eat!
âOrion, you didnât make these yourself, did you?â
âThere are molds.â
âYouâre amazing! How are you good at everything? What if I become totally useless being taken care of by you in the future?â
âUseless?â Orionâs eyes narrowed, as if he hadnât considered such a delightful possibility, âThen Iâll just lock you up and make sure youâre only taken care of and played with by me every day.â
âStop it, youâre such a weirdo!â
Xanthea threatened him with her fork, then gently landed it on one of the Gemini twinsâ heads. A mouthful of smooth, tangy yogurt exploded on her taste buds, so delicious that her eyes nearly closed in pleasure.
âTasty, thatâs tasty! Orion, you should try.â
Before she could finish, the man had already tasted itâright off her lips.
âWhat are you doing?â
Orion gently licked his lips, his Adamâs apple bobbing, âThe cake on Xannieâs lips is sweeter.â
âEw, gross!â
âNot gross.â Orion hugged her tightly, playfully wrapping around her, âXannie eats the cupcake, and Iâll eat Xannie.â
âLet go, ha-ha, it tickles.â
The two were affectionate all the way, teasing each other until about an hour later, Xanthea suddenly realized something was off. With messy hair, she looked at the man covered in cream and strawberry marks on his face and neck.
âOrion, where are you taking me?â
âI have a surprise for you.â
âA surprise?â She glanced out the window, âWhat kind of surprise requires us to drive this far? Weâre almost reaching the northern areas of Crestwood.â
Wait. A sudden realization hit her, and she looked at him suspiciously. âYouâre not taking me to meet your family, are you?!â
âDo you want to meet them?â
âNo, no!â She immediately shook her head, fearing he would misunderstand, and explained, âItâs not that. Emm, Iâm just not dressed for it. Iâm in costume, no makeup, and there are bite marks on my neck from you. No, I canât go like this, I need to prepare properly before I can go meet them!â

âThatâs just you are being in love. It doesnât mean others will think the same. No! Weâre not going, stop the car!â Xanthea pretended to threaten him by pinching his neck. Suddenly, Cedricâs voice came from the front, âSir, weâve arrived.â
