Synopsis:
The biggest fun for the overworked employee Xia Wenxi every day is ...
When the two entered, there were no seats left in the restaurant. Fortunately, the advantage of fast food restaurants is that during peak hours, few people sit for long.
So after the two of them stood there for a while, someone made room for them.
The fast food restaurant tables were rather narrow, and after Xia Wenxi sat down, she subconsciously placed her hands on the table and opened the app to order food.
Then she realized that this position made her seem a little too close to Lin Shen, so close that she could see a very light-colored mole at the corner of his eye.
Your skin is so nice.
This untimely thought suddenly popped into her head.
Xia Wenxi quickly stopped herself and placed her phone in front of Lin Shen.
"You can order first."
Xia Wenxi thought Lin Shen would hesitate for a while, since he didn't seem like the type to eat McDonald's.
Surprisingly, he was able to order his food very quickly and almost without hesitation.
So Xia Wenxi asked him, "Have you ever eaten McDonald's before?"
Lin Shen quickly handed the phone back, "Of course. There's a McDonald's right across from the company, and I still have a breakfast card."
Seeing the surprised expression on Xia Wenxi's face, Lin Shen said with a smile, "Wenxi, do you have some misunderstanding about me?"
Xia Wenxi took the phone and saw that it contained a McDonald's Crispy Chicken Combo and a Spicy Chicken Burger...
They're quite good at it.
Xia Wenxi said honestly, "I thought that someone like you... a CEO, would usually eat at Michelin-starred restaurants or private kitchens."
Xia Wenxi originally wanted to say "domineering CEO," but then she thought that the word "domineering" seemed quite incongruous when applied to Lin Shen.
Since she met Lin Shen, she had never seen him show any side that could be described as "domineering". On the contrary, he was definitely a gentle person.
"I do go to Michelin-starred restaurants and private kitchens, but usually only when I have an appointment or to talk business with someone."
I usually have lunch in the company cafeteria, but if I'm not busy, I'll go home and cook dinner myself.
Hearing him say that he cooks, Xia Wenxi thought of the grilled fish that Lin Shen had made before.
Suddenly, I realized that the crispy snack I ordered earlier didn't taste so good anymore.
"No wonder you're such a good cook. I still remember the taste of the grilled fish from last time."
"I'll cook some other dishes for you to try when I have the chance in the future."
This sentence is clearly a very normal sentence, but upon closer examination, it always seems to have a different flavor.
Xia Wenxi was thinking when she was startled by the sudden ringing of her cell phone.
Upon seeing the name "Xia Wensheng" on the caller ID, Xia Wenxi suddenly felt a little guilty for some reason.
"Hello?"
Xia Wensheng had already taken Minghuan home and returned to his own home. The two did not live together, but they would occasionally stay overnight at each other's homes.
However, this was on the second day when neither of them was busy.
Today is clearly not the case.
"You're not home yet? Want to eat out?"
As soon as the call connected, Xia Wensheng heard a lot of noise on the other end, including the sound of people calling out numbers to pick up their meals.
Because of this, he didn't expect Lin Shen to be there at first. The voice sounded like it came from a fast food restaurant. Xia Wensheng thought that if Lin Shen was going to invite Xia Wenxi to dinner, he definitely wouldn't do it in a place like this.
Upon hearing Xia Wensheng's words, Xia Wenxi subconsciously glanced at Lin Shen opposite her.
"Yeah, I'm at McDonald's."
"Why are you eating this? Eating this every day is making your immune system weak. When you get home, ask Aunt Li to make you something nice to nourish you."
Xia Wensheng sounded quite disgusted when she spoke of it.
"Brother, have you ever eaten at McDonald's?"
Sitting across from Xia Wenxi was Mr. Lin, who knew how to open McDonald's breakfast cards.
I suddenly wonder if Chairman Xia eats McDonald's.
Xia Wensheng misunderstood, and could hear the sarcasm in his tone even through the phone.
Who hasn't eaten at McDonald's?
Okay, novels are all lies.
Xia Wenxi thought to herself.
"Yeah, I suddenly had a craving for this today. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up now."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Wenxi opened the app and found that they were calling her number. She instinctively got up to get the food.
However, Lin Shen stopped him as soon as he stood up.
"I'll go."
Xia Wenxi nodded blankly, then turned to watch Lin Shen walk to the food counter and quickly return with a tray.
They ordered quite a lot of food, piling it all up on a plate.
When Lin Shen brought the plate over, for some reason, Xia Wenxi subconsciously looked at his forearm.
The shirt sleeves were rolled up, revealing the forearms. The effort put into them showed off the smooth, firm muscle lines.
When the plates were placed on the table, Xia Wenxi actually felt a little regretful.
What a pity?
Xia Wenxi was startled by her own thoughts and took a big gulp of cola.
Looks like I'll have to watch two episodes of the talent show tonight to catch my breath.
"Was that the phone call from Wensheng just now?"
Seeing Xia Wenxi nod, Lin Shen smiled and said, "I wonder what Wensheng would say if he knew I took you to McDonald's."
“He can’t control us; he eats McDonald’s himself.”
us……
It must be said that this word brought Lin Shen pleasure.
He couldn't help but recall their last meeting at McDonald's.
Lin Shen had no intention of disciplining a nephew he wasn't close to, but he learned about the matter in person, and as long as he still bore the surname Lin, he couldn't ignore it.
When Lin Junying told Lin Shen about Xia Wenxi's counterattack, Lin Shen actually felt like laughing. What a bold and interesting girl.
Lin Shen could have chosen a more "romantic" place in the conventional sense to have this dinner with Xia Wenxi.
In such a place, there's a large table across the room, perhaps with fresh flowers on it.
It was very quiet around, with almost no conversations, only music.
But it's completely different here.
The small, narrow table had a tray in the middle that took up most of the space.
In the noisy crowd, they could easily hear the conversation at the next table, which seemed to be a college couple discussing course selection for the new semester.
The restaurant was bustling with people, and the number-calling machine kept beeping.
It's definitely not a "romantic" place.
But Lin Shen felt that they were so "close".
They were a couple in the bustling crowd.
Amidst the voices, Lin Shen asked:
"Wenxi, isn't the postgraduate entrance exam in late December?"
"Yes, they're usually around the twenties."
Xia Wenxi didn't know why Lin Shen suddenly asked about the time, but after she finished speaking, she felt the urgency of the time and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"There are only four months left."
“Wenxi, there are only three or four months in a year. Four months is not a short time. You can do a lot. I believe in you.”
Lin Shen picked up the Coke cup. "I'll cheer you on, Wenxi, whether it's now or four months from now."
Xia Wenxi suddenly felt something touch her heart, and smiled as she raised her glass to clink with Lin Shen's.
"Thanks."
