Chapter 523: No Right to Make Suggestions (Daily)
It was getting dark, and the street lights were already on.
Looking at the building across the street, the various lights and shadows intertwined in the rain 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 his left arm was wet by the rain before he walked far.
He stretched his head to look, and Zheng Shiyan's right side was obviously also attacked by the rain, and there were already a lot of water stains on the stockings on her legs.
Lin Cheng quickly lowered the umbrella, and the brim of the umbrella tilted a little towards Zheng Shiyan.
Zheng Shiyan turned her head and looked at him.
Lin Cheng responded with a big smile.
Most people would be moved and polite when they felt this kindness.
As a result, Zheng Shiyan just glanced at him, without any expression at all, and then turned her head away and continued to move forward.
Even in this situation of wind and rain, her steps were still so elegant, and there was no trace of embarrassment.
Hey! You should be polite.
Lin Cheng muttered silently, but when he saw Zheng Shiyan leaning out a little, he quickly reached out to cover her with the umbrella.
"Slow down, we're not in a hurry."
Zheng Shiyan slowed down her pace after hearing that.
The cool breeze mixed with rain blew, and Lin Cheng, who was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt, suddenly felt a little cold.
"Sister Shiyan, are you cold? Why do I feel quite cold?"
"No."
"Oh."
Lin Cheng stopped talking, carefully looking at the road and trying to find a dry way forward.
At this moment, he suddenly felt Zheng Shiyan's body pressed against his right arm.
Lin Cheng smiled secretly, and said he was not cold?
But in this way, Lin Cheng's left shoulder was finally not exposed any more, um~ win-win!
The two walked slowly side by side, blending into the crowd around them, and also into this rain curtain of light and shadow.
The rain fell continuously on the umbrella, making a clear sound of hitting.
"Sister Shiyan."
"Yes."
"If you don't want Enxi to worry about something like this in the future, call me earlier."
"It won't happen again in the future."
"I mean in case... Of course I'm not a pessimist. Who can predict accidents? Don't you think so?"
"...Yes."
Lin Cheng laughed happily.
Zheng Shiyan lowered her eyes, not looking at the smiling face that was actually bright under the rain.
·····
The restaurant Zheng Shiyan mentioned is not far away, just around the corner in front.
The restaurant looks very ancient, and the eaves are very creative. A dozen logs support a row of withered thatch, which looks like the eaves of an ancient farmhouse.
In the glass cabinet at the door stands a scarecrow wearing patched clothes, and next to it are two round pottery jars, which all show the intentions of the owner of the store.
The space inside the store is large, and the decoration style is antique. The carved and hollowed wooden walls divide the entire restaurant into several areas.
Led by the waiter, the two came to a small private room separated by a wooden door. There was only a small low table in the private room, and the wall was hung with scaled-down dustpans, abacus, scales and other decorations.
"I'll go to the bathroom first, you order first."
"Okay."
Lin Cheng took off his shoes and sat cross-legged at the low table, looking at the menu one by one.
However, Lin Cheng had difficulty making choices, and this symptom was particularly obvious when facing the menu. He couldn't make up his mind no matter how many times he looked at it.
They all looked good, but when he really had to make a decision, he started to jump left and right, and there was no fixed number.
"I will choose whoever the little rooster points to... This doesn't count, let's start over!"
"Call the soldiers and generals, ride horses to fight, whoever is called will follow me, and if he doesn't go, he will be a puppy... Hey! This doesn't count either, let's start over."
After a while, Zheng Shiyan entered the private room and saw Lin Cheng childishly poking at the menu.
"Have you ordered?"
"Sister Shiyan, come on, I don't know what to eat."
Lin Cheng handed over the menu as if he had seen a savior, and he found that Zheng Shiyan seemed to have put on makeup.
Zheng Shiyan ignored Lin Cheng's gaze and pointed to the pancake picture on the menu, "How about potato pancakes for the staple food?"
"Okay."
Zheng Shiyan hesitated again: "How about... or seafood pancakes?"
"I think potatoes..."
Before Lin Cheng finished speaking, Zheng Shiyan's slender white fingers pointed at another picture, "Dried shrimp and leek pancakes are also good?"
Lin Cheng: "Well~ then leeks..."
Zheng Shiyan: "Okay! I want seafood pancakes."
Lin Cheng:
It seems that I don't have the right to choose? I don't even have the right to make suggestions!
Zheng Shiyan casually ordered the store's specialty iced rice wine and Korean big plate chicken and tofu soup, helping Lin Cheng overcome the difficulty in choosing dishes.
The chilled rice wine came first. The rice wine in the pottery jar was white in color. Lin Cheng curiously scooped it with a gourd-shaped spoon and found that the texture of the rice wine was a bit like smoothie.
Stir the rice wine evenly and pour it into the small pottery bowl next to it. Each person got a bowl.
"Cheers!"
Lin Cheng held out the bowl. Zheng Shiyan was stunned for a moment, and then clinked bowls with him.
I have to say that this rice wine tastes good and sweet.
Soon the dishes came up. The two sat down to eat and chat alone for the first time. Lin Cheng was very curious and asked Zheng Shiyan about her work situation.
Zheng Shiyan was not impatient and patiently answered Lin Cheng's questions.
Perhaps because she had been sitting cross-legged for too long, Zheng Shiyan adjusted her posture by supporting herself on the floor on both sides of her body with her hands, and curled her legs together on the side.
After Lin Cheng noticed her movements, he immediately looked away, but soon couldn't help but secretly glanced back.
It would be a shame if he didn't look!
When Zheng Shiyan supported herself on both sides with her hands, she showed an extremely beautiful figure, and the ups and downs of her chest were enough to shock Lin Cheng for the whole day.
Eat some vegetables and calm down.
The ringtone rang, and Zheng Shiyan took the phone and looked at it, "It's Enxi's call."
Although the number showed Xiao Tong, only the little girl Enxi would choose to video call her.
"Really? Let me see."
Lin Cheng happily got up and sat next to Zheng Shiyan, completely forgetting to hide the plan of the two of them 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... Hey? Uncle, hello, uncle!"
Enxi was slow to react, and it took her a while to notice Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng smiled and greeted the little girl, and of course he didn't forget Xiao Tong and Han Shuyan outside the screen.
Zheng Shiyan briefly explained the matter, causing Xiao Tong to complain: "Sister Shiyan, you are really stupid, you should call us for this kind of thing, Lin Cheng is unreliable, next time Sister Shiyan is in trouble, you must contact us first."
Lin Cheng glanced at the corner of his mouth, Comrade Xiao is still so bad at speaking.
What do you mean I am unreliable? What do you mean next time something happens?
It is also a skill to offend both parties with one sentence.
