Chapter 269 It's rare to see you interested

When she woke up, she saw Pei Muye processing documents on his computer.

She didn't move, just quietly watched him.

I've finally had a good night's sleep, and that groggy feeling is gone.

She didn't make a sound, she just opened her eyes.

Whether it was a telepathic connection or a coincidence, Pei Muyi looked up at him after a short while.

Seeing that her eyes were open, he smiled: "Awake?"

Lin Xiyin remained motionless: "I just woke up, and you saw me."

Pei Muye put down his laptop and strode over: "Because I want to look up at you every now and then. You sleep like a little pig, how can you sleep so much?"

"I don't know." Lin Xiyin leaned on his lap. "What time is it?"

"It's past two o'clock," Pei Muye said. "I was going to call you for lunch, but you were sleeping so soundly, so I thought I'd wait until you woke up. I didn't expect you to sleep like this until now."

Are you hungry?

"I'm fine," Pei Muye said. "I ate a lot this morning. Are you hungry? Do you want some water?"

"want."

Pei Muye helped her lie down by supporting her head, and then went to pour her some water.

“I added some brown sugar.” He came over and helped her up again: “Try it.”

Lin Xiyin leaned against the headboard and drank a small half-cup of water: "It's not too sweet, just right."

"What would you like to eat?" Pei Muyi asked. "Would you like to go out, or should I have them bring it over?"

"Go outside," Lin Xiyin said. "I'm afraid you'll get restless staying in the room."

"How could that be? With you by my side, I wouldn't be afraid of staying up for ten days straight."

After Pei Muye finished speaking, he asked her, "Shall we change our clothes now?"

"I'll go wash up again," Lin Xiyin said. "I can do it myself. You're taking such good care of me as if I can't take care of myself."

Pei Muye said, "Why think so much? I want you to live a life where you can be waited on hand and foot, but once we go back, you won't have that chance anymore."

After Lin Xiyin got dressed and quickly washed up, the two of them went out.

Pei Muye asked her what she wanted to eat, but she didn't know.

When the two arrived in the area, Pei Muye had someone send a car over.

He drove her around aimlessly.

Since it's a vacation, we can relax however we want. We parked the car whenever we saw a restaurant that interested her.

Lin Xiyin would glance out the window every now and then.

She didn't tell him to stop, so Pei Muye kept driving.

They didn't use navigation or look at road signs; they drove however they pleased.

The two chatted casually, and both felt very comfortable in this situation.

The weather here isn't hot either, around 25 or 26 degrees Celsius, which is a very comfortable temperature for the human body.

"There's a mutton rice noodle shop over there."

While waiting at a red light, Lin Xiyin inadvertently spotted a small restaurant.

"Want some?" Pei Muye smiled. "Okay, I'll turn around at the next intersection."

"Let's go check it out, we don't know what to eat anyway." Lin Xiyin turned to look at him: "But the restaurant is very small."

“What’s wrong with being small?” Pei Muye said, “Many good restaurants are these kinds of hole-in-the-wall eateries.”

"You even know about hole-in-the-wall restaurants?" Lin Xiyin asked with a smile. "Have you ever eaten there?"

“I’m a normal person too.” Pei Muye shook his head: “I know, but I’ve never tried it.”

"Then I'll show you what it's like today."

Lin Xiyin opened her phone and exclaimed in surprise, "I searched it up, and this place has really good reviews!"

She was a little happy because she had discovered the shop by chance, which was a small but precious joy.

That's probably how life is; a little bit of luck now and then can make you happy for a long time.

Pei Muyi parked the car, and the two entered the store hand in hand.

It wasn't a restaurant at this time, nor was it the weekend, so there were no customers in the store.

The owner, a middle-aged man in his fifties, was cleaning up the kitchen.

He was somewhat surprised when guests arrived, and was even more astonished by their appearance.

Even though their city is a tourist destination, with tourists from all over the country every day, and plenty of beautiful women and handsome men.

But this was the first time he had ever seen someone with such outstanding looks and temperament.

The owner is also the chef; whatever you want to eat, he can make it right away.

Lin Xiyin ordered the signature mutton rice noodles, and Pei Muye added two side dishes.

Finally, Pei Muye said, "Don't put cilantro in her bowl of noodles."

"Let's add some," Lin Xiyin suddenly said.

Pei Muye looked at her: "Didn't you dislike the taste?"

"Suddenly, I think the taste is acceptable," Lin Xiyin said. "Let's add a little."

Pei Muye had no choice but to comply: "Then put in a little."

The two found a place to sit down, and Pei Muyi said, "If you're not going to eat it later, give me the cilantro."

"Okay."

When the owner brought out the food they ordered, Pei Muyi was surprised to find that Lin Xiyin ate it with great relish.

"It's so delicious!"

She didn't forget to offer a few compliments.

It tasted really good; it was Pei Muyi's first time eating something like this.

It was fresh, fragrant, and delicious—a taste he had never had before.

Although Lin Xiyin thought it was delicious, she used to have a small appetite, especially when eating out, she would not eat much.

The mutton rice noodles came in a large bowl, not to mention the other side dishes. Pei Muye was prepared to eat her leftovers.

As a result, Lin Xiyin finished the whole bowl of mutton rice noodles!

He was startled and asked her, "Are you full? How could you eat so much?"

Lin Xiyin let out a soft burp: "I'm so full, but it's okay, not too stuffy. It was really delicious! Let's eat it one more time before we leave!"

Pei Muye agreed to her request.

As Pei Muyi was paying the bill and leaving, he asked the owner, "Are there any parks or anything like that around here?"

He wanted to take Lin Xiyin for a walk to help her digest her food.

Otherwise, he was afraid she would have indigestion.

The owner said, "There's a botanical garden about two kilometers from here."

Pei Muye thanked him and prepared to drive over.

As soon as she got on the bus, Lin Xiyin said, "What should I do? I'm so sleepy. I don't want to go to the botanical garden."

“No,” Pei Muyi said. “You can’t sleep right after eating, you’ll feel uncomfortable. Okay, let’s just go for half an hour, just a walk.”

"But I'm so sleepy..." Lin Xiyin had already closed her eyes: "Then wake me up when we get there, I'll take a nap."

It's two kilometers, and it takes less than three minutes to drive there.

Pei Muye smiled and said, "What can you do in such a short time?"

As a result, Lin Xiyin fell asleep.

Pei Muye was both amused and exasperated.

There was a red light on the way, and after waiting for a while, it took less than five minutes to drive from the place where we ate to the botanical garden parking lot.

She actually fell asleep.

Because when he parked his car and pulled over, she didn't react at all.

Are you that sleepy?

I exhausted her last night. In the past, even when we were together until the early hours of the morning, she was never this tired.

What's wrong with me today?

Is it because I'm on my period that I feel tired?

But she never had this during her period before.

It's also possible that they were tired from traveling these past few days.

Although they are both quite easygoing, they definitely get more exercise every day than before.

It's understandable that she was tired.

Pei Muye decided that they would not go anywhere else and would stay in this small town for two or three days to let her rest well.

In the end, he couldn't bear to wake Lin Xiyin and took out his phone to reply to a few emails.

More than an hour later, Lin Xiyin woke up on her own.

Pei Muyi reclined the passenger seat, and she fell asleep quite comfortably.

"Why didn't you wake me?" Lin Xiyin picked up her phone and glanced at it. "Did I sleep for so long?"

"Calling you 'little pig' is truly fitting." Pei Muye leaned in and kissed her. "How are you? Did you rest well?"

"Much better." Lin Xiyin looked out the window. "Are we in the botanical garden?"

"Yes." Pei Muye helped her adjust the seat back and asked, "Would you like to get down and walk around?"

Let's go.

This city enjoys a spring-like climate year-round, and everywhere you look is lush and green.

Various flowers are in bloom.

After walking for more than half an hour, Lin Xiyin stopped.

Pei Muyi tilted his head to look at her: "What's wrong, sleepy again?"

Lin Xiyin smiled and shook her head.

Pei Muye said, "I knew it..."

Lin Xiyin said, "I'm not sleepy, but I'm hungry."

"What?" Pei Muyi was a little incredulous: "Hungry? You ate so much at lunch..."

Lin Xiyin glared at him: "You think I eat too much?"

"How could that be..." Pei Muye quickly explained, "I was just worried that your stomach was upset."

"I'm not a child anymore, I won't eat if my stomach hurts!" Lin Xiyin took his arm: "What should we eat?"

"Are you really hungry?" Pei Muye asked her. "What would you like to eat?"

"I just saw a lot of snack vendors next to the parking lot."

Pei Muye paused for a moment.

Lin Xiyin looked at him strangely: "What's wrong?"

“Those are all outdoor mobile stalls,” Pei Muye said. “Won’t eating there give you diarrhea?”

"How could that be? It's nothing!" Lin Xiyin said. "I want to eat starch sausage!"

She smelled the fragrance as soon as she got off the bus.

"Starch sausage?" Pei Muyi thought for a moment and asked, "Sausage made of starch...?"

"I knew you'd never tried this before." Lin Xiyin pulled him along, "It's my treat, I'll show you what it's like."

Pei Muye was both amused and exasperated.

One costs three yuan, two cost five yuan.

Lin Xiyin readily scanned the code and bought two.

Pei Muye looked at the pink and tender grilled sausage and hesitated to take a bite.

"Eat up!" Lin Xiyin took a bite, looking very satisfied. "It's delicious!"

Pei Muye took a tiny bite.

It was indeed a flavor he had never tasted before.

not bad.

"Is it delicious?"

Lin Xiyin squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

Pei Muye smiled and nodded: "Delicious."

Lin Xiyin finished her own, but Pei Muyi still had more than half of his left uneaten.

"You don't like it?" Lin Xiyin leaned closer. "I'll eat it for you."

Pei Muye asked her, "Can you still eat?"

"Of course." Lin Xiyin took it. "After we finish this, we'll go get something else to eat."

"Dinner?"

Lin Xiyin said, "Isn't it a bit early?"

It's only a little past four o'clock, which is indeed a bit early.

Lin Xiyin said, "Then let's just wander around and see what good food we can find."

Pei Muye said, "It's rare to see you interested in food."

The two had been to many places before, but Lin Xiyin had never been this enthusiastic.

"Are you hungry?" she said. "Let's go for a drive around."

In the evening, we found a restaurant with a quaint and old-fashioned feel and ate local specialties.

Pei Muyi didn't quite like the taste, but Lin Xiyin thought it was delicious.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting food, they ordered four dishes, and Lin Xiyin ate more than half of them.

Pei Muye was worried that she wouldn't be able to hold on.
