8 < This was my first time meeting Yannick . He looked even better than in the video . His suit shoulders were as straight as if cut with a knife , his waistline narrowed sharply , and beneath his ink - colored suit pants were straight , long legs . The previous engagement was directly arranged over the phone by our parents after Yannick and I agreed . " Starling . " Yannick walked towards me . I thought I would be a little awkward meeting him for the first time , but he took my hand . < without any hesitation . His voice was as gentle as in the video , " Are you hungry ? Let's go get something to eat . " After sitting on the plane for a few hours , I was indeed hungry . Yannick took me to the Ives ' dining room , and the food on the table was all my favorites . This surprised me slightly . Yannick sat down next to me and patiently started peeling shrimp for me with gloves on . His movements were unhurried , and his gestures revealed an air of nobility . < Which made me very embarrassed . I followed Yannick to greet the Ives ' elders . After the banquet , the gifts filled five suitcases ! Yannick sent me back to Beijing . Just before we parted , I thought about it and asked him , " Yannick … how did you find out about my preferences ? " From the flowers to the food , and even the gifts . After hearing this , Yannick smiled , but there . was seriousness in his eves " I've always known . " " But I don't even know what you like … " He hooked his lips , " There's plenty of time , you'll know slowly in the future . " Hearing this , I nodded . It was a bit late today , but Yannick had something else to do and had to rush back overnight . After saying goodbye , I went upstairs . But I saw Chad at the door .
