Lin Yixun hoped Leng Yixiu could understand her intention. She suddenly mentioned Cheng Ying, just to remind Leng Yixiu not to forget her identity and not to forget Cheng Ying’s existence.
She thought the man would let it go, but unexpectedly Leng Yixiu still insisted, "Any color or style is fine, just buy one randomly."
Lin Yixun was not someone who didn’t know the quality of items. In the walk-in closet, didn’t every tie of Leng Yixiu’s cost a fortune? If she bought one randomly from the street, would Leng Yixiu wear it?
She thought for a moment. Since her relationship with Leng Yixiu was currently "harmonious", there was no need to break the rare peace, so she compromised.
While shopping at the mall the next day, she casually bought one. She felt like a poor student who had to do homework assigned by the teacher, daring not to defy, opting to deal with it perfunctorily.
Who knew that when Leng Yixiu received the tie, he was surprisingly in a good mood? Lin Yixun couldn’t help but be suspicious. Did he not discern its value? However, given that Leng Yixiu had used so many high-end items, he should be able to judge the quality just by looking at the material and color, so how could he not know?
In the evening, the chef and Sister Yi at the villa were on leave, so Leng Yixiu suggested eating out. Lin Yixun did not object. After all, it didn’t matter where they ate; it was irrelevant.
"What do you want to eat?"
The man propped his chin with one hand, seemingly in deep thought, "’It’s up to you’ is the hardest to handle, let’s be more specific."
Lin Yixun suddenly had a mischievous idea and rolled her eyes, "I can really eat whatever I want?"
But, when they arrived at the place Lin Yixun mentioned, the man regretted it a bit. How could he have expected that the place Lin Yixun suggested would be an inconspicuous small restaurant near T University?
The restaurant was small and shabby. It was unclear if it was due to age or poor cleanliness, but the originally white walls were somewhat yellowed. The tables in the restaurant were also in disrepair. Such a simple restaurant seemed very out of place with the man’s distinguished dress and demeanor. Although the restaurant was rundown, there were many people dining there, mostly students, and quite a few couples on dates.
Seeing Leng Yixiu’s uneasy expression, Lin Yixun inexplicably felt a good mood rise. She found a seat in a corner of the restaurant and sat down. Seeing that Leng Yixiu was still standing, she said, "Sit down quickly, otherwise there won’t be any seats soon."
Though uncomfortable with the environment, the man eventually sat opposite her, frowned, and asked, "Are you sure you want to eat here?"
Lin Yixun nodded heavily, "Yes! Of course. If you are not used to it, we can change the place."
Lin Yixun ordered a few of her favorite dishes and then handed the menu to Leng Yixiu. However, Leng Yixiu said, "I don’t know what’s good here. You decide and order whatever you think is good."
Lin Yixun loved spicy food, but she knew this man detested spicy food, so she deliberately ordered all the spicy dishes. She felt like a farmer oppressed by the landlord for too long, overtly not daring to defy but secretly resisting by finding small ways to sabotage. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel~fire~net
The dishes quickly arrived, all of them spicy. Lin Yixun took a bite; even though she could handle spicy food, it was still quite hot, but she found it rather delicious.
After eating for a while, Lin Yixun noticed that the man opposite her seemed to have not touched his chopsticks. She couldn’t help but look up from her bowl, "Why aren’t you eating?"
"I’m not hungry; you go ahead."
