It's getting late, and the street lights are already on.
Looking at the building across the street, various lights and shadows intertwined in the rain curtain to create a hazy scene. Lin Cheng actually felt like he was in a cyberpunk world.
The umbrella was not big, and Lin Cheng felt that his left arm was wet from the rain before he walked far.
Looking out, Zheng Shiyan's right side was obviously also affected by the rain, and the stockings on her legs had a lot of water stains.
Lin Cheng quickly lowered the umbrella, and the umbrella edge tilted a little towards Zheng Shiyan.
Zheng Shiyan turned her head and glanced at him.
Lin Cheng responded with a big smile.
When ordinary people feel this kind of kindness, they should be moved and be polite.
In the end, Zheng Shiyan just glanced at him without saying anything at all, then turned her head away and continued moving forward.
Even in this windy and rainy situation, her steps were still so graceful and there was no trace of embarrassment.
Hey! You should be polite or be polite.
Lin Cheng muttered silently, but when he saw Zheng Shiyan leaning out a little, he quickly stretched out his umbrella to cover it.
"Slow down, we are not in a hurry."
Zheng Shiyan slowed down after hearing this.
The cool breeze mixed with the rain blew, and Lin Cheng, who was only wearing short-sleeved shirts, suddenly felt a little cold.
"Sister Shiyan, are you cold? Why do I feel so cold?"
"not cold."
"oh."
Lin Cheng stopped talking and carefully looked at the road to find a dry route forward.
At this moment, he suddenly felt Zheng Shiyan's body pressing against his right arm.
Lin Cheng snickered and said he wasn't cold?
But in this way, Lin Cheng’s left shoulder is finally no longer exposed. Well, a win-win situation!
The two of them walked slowly side by side, blending into the surrounding crowd and the rain curtain of interlaced light and shadow.
The rain continued to fall on the umbrella, making a clear hitting sound.
"Sister Shiyan."
"Um."
"If you don't want Enxi to worry about something like this in the future, just call me as soon as possible."
"This will never happen again."
"I mean what if... Of course I'm not the crow-mouthed one. Who can say for sure about accidents? Are you right?"
"···Um."
Lin Cheng laughed happily.
Zheng Shiyan lowered her eyes, not looking at the smiling face that was actually bright under the rain curtain.
·····
The restaurant Zheng Shiyan mentioned is not far away, just turn the corner in front and you'll find it.
The exterior of the restaurant looks very antique, and the eaves are very creative. A dozen logs support a row of withered yellow thatch, which is shaped like the eaves of an ancient farmyard.
In the glass cabinet at the door stands a rag doll scarecrow wearing patched clothes, and two round pottery jars are placed next to it, all of which clearly show the intentions of the shop owner.
The space in the store is large, the decoration style is antique, and the carved and hollow wooden walls divide the entire restaurant into several areas.
Under the guidance of the clerk, the two of them arrived at a small private room separated by a wooden door. The private room only had a small low table, and scaled-down dustpans, abacus, scales and other decorations hung on the walls.
"I'll go to the bathroom first, and you can order food first."
"good."
Lin Cheng took off his shoes and sat cross-legged at the low table, holding the menu and looking at it one by one.
However, Lin Cheng has difficulty choosing. This symptom is particularly obvious when facing the menu. He turns over and over again and can't make up his mind.
Everything looks good, but when I really want to make a decision, I start jumping left and right, and I'm never sure.
"I will choose whoever the little rooster clicks... This doesn't count. Let's start again!"
"Point out the troops, point out the generals, fight on horseback, and point out who will follow me. If you don't follow me, you will be a puppy... Oh! This doesn't count. Let's start over."
After a while, Zheng Shiyan entered the private room and saw Lin Cheng childishly poking at the menu.
"Is your order ready?"
"Sister Shiyan, come on, I don't know what's delicious."
Lin Cheng handed over the menu as if seeing a savior, and he noticed that Zheng Shiyan seemed to have touched up her makeup.
Zheng Shiyan ignored Lin Cheng's gaze and pointed to the picture of pancakes on the menu, "How about potato pancakes as the main dish?"
"OK."
Zheng Shiyan was a little hesitant again: "How about...or seafood cake?"
"I think potatoes..."
Before Lin Cheng could finish speaking, Zheng Shiyan pointed at another picture with her slender white fingers, "Dried shrimp and chive pancakes are also good?"
Lin Cheng: "Well~ let's have leeks then..."
Zheng Shiyan: "Okay! I want seafood pancake."
Lin Cheng:
It seems that I have no right to choose? Not even the right to make suggestions!
Zheng Shiyan casually ordered the store's special iced rice wine and Korean-style chicken and tofu soup, helping Lin Cheng overcome the difficulty of choosing when ordering.
The iced rice wine came first. The rice wine in the clay pot was white in color. Lin Cheng curiously scooped it up with a gourd-shaped spoon and found that the texture of the rice wine was a bit like smoothie.
Stir the rice wine evenly, pour it into the matching small pottery bowl next to it, and serve one bowl per person.
"cheers!"
Lin Cheng held out the bowl, and Zheng Shiyan was stunned for a moment before touching the bowl with him.
I have to say that this rice wine tastes good and sweet.
Soon the food was served, and the two sat down to eat and chat alone for the first time. Lin Cheng was curious and asked about Zheng Shiyan's usual work situation.
Zheng Shiyan was not impatient and answered Lin Cheng's questions patiently.
Probably because she had been sitting cross-legged for a long time, Zheng Shiyan put her hands on the floor on both sides of her body and adjusted her posture, bringing her legs together and curling them to the side.
Lin Cheng immediately looked away after noticing her actions, but soon couldn't help but glance back secretly.
Don’t look at losses!
When Zheng Shiyan put her hands on both sides, she revealed an extremely beautiful figure, and the undulating curves of her chest would shock Lin Cheng all day long.
Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, and calm down.
The ringing started, Zheng Shiyan took the phone and looked at it, "It's Eunxi's phone number."
Although the number showed Xiao Tong, only little girl Enxi would choose to have a video call with her.
"Really? Show me."
Lin Cheng happily stood up and sat next to Zheng Shiyan, completely forgetting to hide their intention to eat alone.
Zheng Shiyan answered the phone, and the cute figure of the little girl appeared on the screen.
"Mom! When will mom come back? Enxi misses you... Huh? Uncle, uncle, hello!"
The little girl Enxi reacted slowly. It took a while for someone as big as Lin Cheng to be noticed by her.
Lin Cheng came up and greeted the little girl with a smile, but of course did not leave Xiao Tong and Han Shuyan behind the screen.
Zheng Shiyan briefly explained the matter, causing Xiao Tong to complain: "Sister Shiyan, you really should have called us for this kind of thing. This guy Lin Cheng is unreliable. Next time something happens to sister Shiyan."
You need to contact us first.”
Lin Cheng glanced at the corner of his mouth and saw that Comrade Xiao was still so incapable of speaking.
What does it mean that I am unreliable? What does it mean that something will happen next time?
It is a skill to be able to offend both parties with one sentence.
