The girl felt she had discovered the truth.
Indeed, handsome men belong to handsome men.
Being rejected suddenly didn’t feel so bad!
Xu Weiran didn’t mind the other party’s attitude, after all, the other’s bad habits weren’t new, and upon hearing this, he let go and said, "Don’t be in a hurry to refuse, we’ve got to eat anyway, what’s wrong with eating together?"
Sheng Yeli looked at him, "I prefer to eat alone."
"Eating alone is so boring, let’s go, let’s go." Xu Weiran, regardless of the other’s refusal, dragged him toward the outside.
The sudden warmth from the other was suspicious.
He glanced at the girl not far away, thinking maybe he wanted to use him to avoid the girl’s pursuit. Remembering the other had helped him before, he endured and followed the other’s pace outside.
It wasn’t until they had left the laboratory that he asked, "Can you let go of me now?"
Seeing the other’s reaction, Xu Weiran realized there had been a misunderstanding and explained helplessly, "I really just wanted to have dinner with you."
He just wanted to please his future elder, why was it so hard?
"No need!" After saying that, Sheng Yeli headed on his own toward the parking lot.
The canteen was already closed at this time.
To eat, they had to go outside.
Sheng Yeli had just opened the driver’s side door when he saw someone squeezing into the passenger seat first.
Xu Weiran shamelessly said, "My car is in for inspection, you don’t mind giving me a lift, right?"
Sheng Yeli’s face looked very unpleasant.
How come this person was like a sticky plaster, impossible to shake off?
Xu Weiran acted as if he couldn’t read the other’s expression, buckled up the seat belt, and then looked at him with a smile.
Sheng Yeli withdrew his gaze from him and started the car with an indifferent expression.
Some ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of a noodle shop that seemed unremarkable, but fairly clean.
The owners, an old couple, smiled and greeted Sheng Yeli as soon as they saw him, "You’re here, customer, the same as before?"
"Yes," Sheng Yeli nodded lightly.
Xu Weiran looked at Sheng Yeli in surprise, judging by his frequent visits, but this noodle shop didn’t seem like a place he would like.
Could it be there’s something special about the noodles here?
However, the business of the noodle shop did not seem very good...
The elderly couple then turned to him, "And for you, sir, what would you like to have?"
"The same as him will do," Xu Weiran said with a smile.
He didn’t know what was good to eat here, but figured following the other’s choice couldn’t be wrong.
"Alright, please wait a moment, customers." One of them went to cook the noodles while the other brought two plates of homemade side dishes to their table.
Soon, two bowls of noodles were served.
To his surprise, they were just the simplest scallion oil noodles.
Xu Weiran took a taste; they were so-so, similar to other noodle shops, but served in a very generous portion.
He couldn’t help but look up at Sheng Yeli across from him, seeing him eat the noodles expressionlessly. Bite by bite, it was impossible to tell if he enjoyed them or not.
Not until Sheng Yeli finished his bowl, took out a red paper bill, and left it on the table before standing up and walking out. Xu Weiran glanced at his own bowl, still half full, and quickly finished the rest.
He looked up to find where to scan for payment but saw none, so he had to ask the old couple.
The old man hurriedly waved his hands, "No need, no need, the customer who just left already overpaid. We don’t need that much money," he said while trying to give Weiran change.
