"Though he said that, he couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile.
The food itself was indeed not tasty.
But since she had eaten it, he didn’t mind taking a few more bites.
It had been a long time since he’d had it, and he found himself feeling nostalgic for the taste.
Tang Jingming thought to himself, your expression doesn’t seem to match your words.
Gao Lian was dumbfounded as well.
This Mr. Shi was...pretty strong.
And Shi Mei, who had just finished mopping the floor, looked up reflexively upon hearing this, only to see Shi Lingyan nibbling on her hot dog, which made her jump up in anger, "Why are you stealing my food!"
Shi Lingyan seemed puzzled, "Didn’t you give it to me?"
Shi Mei was in disarray: "I only asked you to hold it for me!"
"Oh, then I’ll give it back to you," Shi Lingyan reached it out to her.
Shi Mei was furious, "I don’t want it anymore!"
Then, she took the ice cream in his other hand and took a big, angry bite.
Shi Lingyan watched her, his gaze falling on her ice cream, and frowned, "It’s still so cold out, why eat ice cream?"
"I like it!" Shi Mei stamped her feet in a huff.
Shi Lingyan looked at her, then took another bite.
Shi Mei complained resentfully, "Didn’t you say it wasn’t tasty?"
Shi Lingyan chewed slowly, casually remarking, "Wasting is shameful."
This earnest appearance was hard to argue with.
Shi Mei was seething and starving, her stomach growling, and here he was, competing with her for food.
Shi Lingyan caught her gaze, grinned, "You’re so upset, come on, I’ll buy you another one."
"Don’t want it!" Shi Mei turned away, took another bite of her ice cream, huffily, "I’ll eat something else later."
Shi Lingyan naturally followed her, asking softly, "What do you want to eat?"
"Roast duck!" Shi Mei had been in Imperial City for over a month and hadn’t had roast duck yet.
"Do you want duck soup with it?"
Her little scheme exposed, Shi Mei paused, turning her head.
To her surprise, Shi Lingyan had somehow ended up right behind her, the two standing very close.
Shi Mei instinctively stepped back, and for some reason, her heartbeat quickened a little.
But at the same time, she felt a tad upset.
What did he mean by this?
Did he see that her little junior sister was doing well and now he wanted to pursue Little Shimei?
Or just wanted to repay her little junior sister for saving his life?
Gao Lian saw Shi Mei’s uneasy expression, stepped forward to pull her over and asked, "Where’s Ye Tiao?"
Shi Mei was gently pulled away, and Shi Lingyan’s eyes darkened slightly with displeasure. His profile bore a hint of warning, yet also seemed not to, as he glanced askance.
Gao Lian pretended not to notice, quietly keeping them apart, asking, "Should we give her a call?"
Shi Mei, who had also noticed the maneuver, was happy to play along and took out her phone to call Ye Tiao.
Ye Tiao was on the other end, panting like a dog, yelling, "Where did you two go, I’m dead tired, couldn’t catch up with them and couldn’t find you either!"
"Then where are you?" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel-fire.net
"Me? To find you guys, I ran back to Station 14, getting ready to take the cable car down."
Shi Mei almost laughed, "Then hurry and take the cable car down, we’ve already come down."
"No way, is that for real? How could you be so fast, Tang couldn’t possibly be faster than me!"
"Hahahaha, we came down by cable car, hurry up."
"I’ll be...," Ye Tiao was about to explode, "You just wait for me!"
Shi Mei quickly hung up the phone, unable to hide her smile, and sat down beside Tang, "Ye Tiao’s treating us to dinner later, think about what you want to eat."
Tang Jingming was delighted, "How can she be so silly, I need to think about what kind of meal to fleece her for."
"Let’s have roast duck," said Shi Lingyan, "It’s been many years since I had it."
Suddenly, I really miss Lin Kerou, loving a man with the most humble attitude, a man who will never love her in return, and in the end, taking his child to heaven to reunite with his family, that must be her best destination."
