Chapter 464 Wen Zhixia x Shen Jiachen (Thirty-five)

The next day.

Wen Zhixia made an appointment with Shen Jiachen at a Sichuan restaurant outside the school. Wen Zhixia had been to this restaurant many times, and sometimes she would pack up the signature dishes to eat with Wen Sisi.

She arrived at the restaurant first, gave Shen Jiachen a seat number, and ordered two dishes. Just as she finished ordering, Shen Jiachen arrived.

"Zhi Xia."

Wen Zhixia raised her head and watched Shen Jiachen walking towards her step by step. She didn't know if he had dressed up specially, but she always felt that Shen Jiachen seemed more handsome today.

His originally fluffy and natural hair was fixed with hairspray today, and the hair in front of his forehead was combed back, revealing his full forehead, sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, and a pair of half-frame glasses on his high nose bridge, giving him a more mature and restrained feeling.

He was wearing a well-tailored white shirt. This shirt was also very interesting. The thin layer stuck to his muscles, and with just a few random movements, he could feel his well-trained muscles holding up the clothes.

With a smile on his face, Shen Jiachen walked towards Wen Zhixia step by step with his long legs wrapped in black suit pants.

He looks like a male model who just came off the catwalk instead of a senior.

Wen Zhixia was stunned for a moment until he walked in front of her and called her with a smile, "Zhixia."

Wen Zhixia came back to her senses and realized that she had lost her composure. She coughed lightly, lowered her eyes and picked up the cup in front of her. It contained the store's free barley tea, which tasted quite fragrant... Hm, why does barley tea smell like perfume?

Wen Zhixia couldn't tell what the smell was, but it smelled good.

Shen Jiachen pulled out the chair opposite her. This Sichuan restaurant has a good environment and privacy. He took a rough look when he came in just now. To be honest, he has never been to such a restaurant before.

Wen Zhixia raised her head and looked at Shen Jiachen. He was still smiling, waiting for Wen Zhixia to look up at him.

Wen Zhixia handed him the menu: "I ordered two dishes, what else do you want to eat?"

Sichuan restaurants generally serve spicy food. Shen Jiachen's tolerance for spicy food is average, so he quietly ordered an egg custard and some seasonal vegetables: "Alright."

Wen Zhixia handed the menu to the waiter, poured a cup of barley tea for Shen Jiachen, and pushed the cup in front of him.

"Thank you." Shen Jiachen gave her another silly smile, picked up the cup and took a sip.

Wen Zhixia asked: "What are you wearing?"

The smile on Shen Jiachen's face never disappeared. He said, "I have an important meeting today, so I'm dressed more formally."

"Then did I ask you out for lunch today? Is that disturbing you?" Wen Zhixia asked.

"It was finished this morning." Shen Jiachen actually had his own little thoughts. He read online that many girls like to dress like men in formal attire. Wearing a suit in this weather is a bit exaggerated, but a shirt is just right.

Wen Zhixia said "Oh", and just in time, the pickled pepper bullfrog she ordered at the beginning was served.

Shen Jiachen looked at the bullfrog in the pot, his pupils trembled: "Huh?"

Wen Zhixia remained calm and said, "This is their signature dish. Senior, would you like to try it?"

Shen Jiachen had never eaten this thing and had almost never seen it.

Is this edible?

Seeing that he didn't move his chopsticks, Wen Zhixia didn't urge him. She just picked up the chopsticks, picked up one for herself, lowered her head and ate in silence.

Shen Jiachen blinked several times, as if he was preparing himself mentally, but seeing that Wen Zhixia remained calm, he was about to pick up the chopsticks when the waiter brought up another dish.

Sweet and sour spare ribs, this dish is more to Shen Jiachen's taste, at least better than pickled pepper bullfrog.

Wen Zhixia looked at Shen Jiachen and asked, "Is it not to your taste?"

Shen Jiachen came back to his senses. He picked up the chopsticks, picked up the soft and boneless sweet and sour spare ribs, and put them into his mouth silently.

A few minutes later, the egg custard and seasonal vegetables were served.

Shen Jiachen couldn't help but look up at Wen Zhixia opposite him. She was eating bullfrog quietly, her face unchanged, and she didn't say anything.

He pursed his lips and his eyes fell on the pickled bullfrog in front of him. After thinking for only a second, he picked up a bullfrog with his chopsticks and started eating.

But it was so spicy after just one mouthful that I picked up the cup of water beside me and drank the rest of the barley tea.

Coincidentally, the waiter also brought the two glasses of watermelon juice ordered by Wen Zhixia. Shen Jiachen gulped twice, and one glass of juice was gone.

His eyes were watery from the spicy food. Why was it that Wen Zhixia ate the food without changing her expression, as if it was as simple as drinking water, but when he took a bite, it was as if a volcano erupted in his mouth.

Wen Zhixia was also shocked by his reaction. She quickly pushed her glass of watermelon juice over and asked the waiter to bring two glasses of watermelon juice.

Shen Jiachen waved his hands: "It's okay, it's okay, I can do it."

The air conditioner was on in the restaurant, but he also had a lot of sweat on his forehead, and it looked like he was eating very spicy food.

When Wen Zhixia ordered the food, she actually ordered a slightly spicy one. She didn't expect that Shen Jiachen couldn't eat anything spicy at all.

"I'm fine." Shen Jiachen took the tissue she handed over, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and while Wen Zhixia wasn't paying attention, wiped his own tears.

"If you can't handle spicy food, don't eat it. I'll order something non-spicy." Wen Zhixia was about to call the waiter over, but was stopped by Shen Jiachen: "No, it's delicious."

Shen Jiachen took a breath and said, "It's also a wonderful experience."

Wen Zhixia put down her chopsticks. She looked at Shen Jiachen's red face and reached out to push some watermelon juice in front of him: "Drink some more."

Shen Jiachen did not refuse and took another sip silently. Now that his mouth had cooled down, his reaction was not as big as before.

He said, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself... I won't do that again next time."

Wen Zhixia sighed and asked in confusion, "Senior, why? You obviously can't eat spicy food, but you force yourself to do it."

In fact, Shen Jiachen knew very well the reason why Wen Zhixia ordered this dish. It was to tell him that the tastes were different and not suitable at all. But he would not give up!

It was actually very difficult for Shen Jiachen to express his thoughts to Wen Zhixia, because no matter how he said it, he felt like a scumbag who cheated on a girl.

In this day and age, who would believe that love lasts a lifetime at first sight?

But he wanted to let Wen Zhixia see his sincerity. Shen Jiachen actually knew very well that if he missed it, it would never come back.

He wanted to...keep this excitement.

Shen Jiachen also put down his chopsticks. He said slowly, "I'm not forcing myself. I'm just not prepared this time. Next time I eat spicy food with you, I will definitely not change my expression."

"You clearly know what I mean." Wen Zhixia said, "It's not suitable for us."

"You haven't even tried it, how come you think it's inappropriate?" Shen Jiachen's eyes were bright, and he kept looking at her: "I think I'm in good condition, and taking me out will definitely not embarrass you. Do you really have no feelings for me at all?"
