Chapter 55

The two of them set out early, and when they stepped into the restaurant, there were not many people inside. By the time they chose a seat and sat down, they looked back and found that the place was already full of people.

Some of them were dressed brightly and looked like tourists from other places, while others were dressed casually and brought their families with them, obviously locals.

Yao Yingmo even saw the neighbors from the next building, and they greeted him warmly as they passed by.

Yao Yingmo felt a little relieved. It seemed that the food in this small restaurant was definitely good, and it was not one of those internet-famous restaurants that became famous through the Internet.

This is indeed the case.

After a busy day, their moods were up and down. Yao Yingmo and Zhou Yu were not too hungry, so they just ordered a bowl of noodle soup.

As soon as the soup noodles are served, the aroma hits your face. Then you pick up a noodle and put it into your mouth. It tastes delicious and has a chewy texture.

Yao Yingmo thought that if this restaurant had opened earlier, preferably before she moved to the capital, she might have eaten there once a week.

In the past, their family always ate meals cooked by their mother, but there was one day a week when they could eat out so that their mother could take a break.

Yao Yingmo felt that this store was very suitable to be visited on weekly dining out days.

“I didn’t expect there would be such a restaurant near my home.”

Yao Yingmo couldn't control the speed of eating noodles. After finishing, he looked up and found that Zhou Yu had not finished eating yet, but he was almost there.

She looked around and found a bright spot at the end of the menu on the wall.

Retracting her gaze, she tentatively asked, "Xiao Yu, do you want to add anything else? Is one bowl of noodles enough?"

"Enough." Zhou Yu looked up from his bowl of noodles and saw the menu on the wall. He immediately understood, "I see there's dessert on the menu. Do you want some?"

Yao Yingmo's thoughts were revealed by Zhou Yu's words. He clicked his tongue and ignored his words. He still put the pot of dessert on his head and said, "Okay, then I'll go order two bowls of tofu pudding."

Zhou Yu silently took the blame, "I don't want any extra ingredients, just sugar water."

"Don't worry, I know."

The tofu pudding is soaked in sugar water. When you take a bite, your heart is filled with sweetness, and the bitterness that has been suppressed in your heart for a day is relieved.

Zhou Yu drank slowly, and when he saw Yao Yingmo finish his drink elegantly but quickly, he suddenly asked, "So will you agree to him?"

Yao Yingmo almost spit out the tofu pudding in her mouth. She took a piece of paper to wipe her mouth, "Huh?"

Zhou Yu looked at her seriously and explained the problem more clearly, "I say, are you going to agree to Shi Xuze when you go back?"

Yao Yingmo: ???

It was so sudden.

But it was normal for Zhou Yu to come up with a flash of inspiration. He always thought for a long time before saying something. He must have been thinking about this question since he got home, and it took him a long time to figure out how to ask it.

Yao Yingmo was actually already used to Zhou Yu inexplicably bringing up several topics from the past, but he was still caught off guard.

She really doesn't have an answer yet.

So she laughed and said, "Does he have a name in your mouth now?"

Finally not “that guy” anymore.

"He's still the same guy in my heart." Zhou Yu frankly admitted that his opinion hadn't really changed, and insisted again, "Have you not made up your mind yet?"

Yao Yingmo held his forehead with his hand. Zhou Yu was always so hard to fool.

She had to suppress her smile and said seriously, "I think, maybe one day I will agree to him, but agreeing to it when I go back... I don't think that time has come yet."

Zhou Yu and Li Yicheng both saw it and reminded her, either implicitly or explicitly, so it was impossible for her to deceive herself.

Her attitude towards Shi Xuze is different from that towards others.

Perhaps deciding to save him from the beginning would have made everything different.

As a writer of romance novels, it would be shameful if she couldn't even recognize her own heart.

"Okay." Zhou Yu said.

Okay...what?

Yao Yingmo was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and laughed, "It's fine as long as you say it. Stop hating him so much. I will always be your sister."

Stop being hostile towards Shi Xuze just because you think she will be snatched away.

Zhou Yu didn't answer, but lowered his head and continued eating tofu pudding, but his ears turned a little red.

Yao Yingmo looked at him, thought for a while, took out his mobile phone, took a picture of the store's decoration, and sent it to Shi Xuze.

"Zhao He: The little restaurant you recommended is great. [decor.jpg]"

"Huguang: As long as it tastes good, I hope I can eat it if I have the chance."

Shi Xuze replied very quickly, as if he was always by his phone, just to reply to her message as soon as possible.

Yao Yingmo smiled knowingly and chatted with Shi Xuze for a few more words until Zhou Yu finished eating. Then he put away his phone, paid the bill and left.

The next day, Yao Yingmo and Zhou Yu took a large bag of glutinous rice sausage and other homemade foods given by Grandma Yang and got on Shi Xuze's car at the station.

"Xiao Yu, do you want to go back to school directly or go home first?" Shi Xuze asked as he closed the trunk door.

Yao Yingmo thought about the large and small bags that had just been put into the trunk and answered directly, "Let's go home first. The school is closed tomorrow."

Zhou Yu had no objection. Yao Yingmo then looked at Shi Xuze, "Are you going to record a video tonight?"

Shi Xuze: “No.”

Yao Yingmo nodded. "Then come to my house for dinner. I brought some food back from my hometown. Let me give you a taste of what I ate when I was a kid."

Shi Xuze agreed immediately, "By the way, I went home this time and got some tea from my dad. Let's bring it over and make some tea together."

Yao Yingmo was about to answer when he heard Zhou Yu hum in the back seat: "Borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha."

Shi Xuze was choked, and touched his nose and said awkwardly: "Let me first say that I did tell my dad about taking the tea leaves."

He looked at Yao Yingmo and explained seriously, "I told him that I wanted to bring them to you, and he agreed and asked me to bring two more."

Yao Yingmo felt a heat rising up.

Did Shi Xuze... tell his parents something? Is he the kind of person who would tell his parents before pursuing a girl?

"He told me to tell you how grateful he is," Shi Xuze said. "My parents followed the entire trending topic and know that you've been my savior in both of my roles. So before I came back, they kept nagging me about how much they'd absolutely treat you well."

It turns out it’s a thank-you gift, not a betrothal gift.

Yao Yingmo breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that Shi Xuze would not be able to hide the truth and would tell her parents everything, big or small, that hadn't happened yet.

If that were the case, she would feel very stressed.

Since it's just a thank you gift, there's no need to be too nervous.

"I see. Then please tell them thank you for me. I have received their kindness."

Shi Xuze: "No problem."

Zhou Yu was in the back row, looking at the front left and then the front right, not sure whether the problem was with him or the two people in the front row.

Don’t they think it’s weird that parents tell their children to be nice to their saviors?

Generally speaking, when children get married, parents will tell them to be good to their spouse. As for their saviors, they will mostly tell them to express their gratitude and give more thank-you gifts.

Even he, a person with social disorder, knew this, but I don’t know whether these two people in the front row didn’t expect it or pretended not to expect it.

Falling in love is really something that makes people stupid.

They haven't even talked yet.

Zhou Yu suddenly felt that his future life was a little bleak.

Yao Yingmo and Shi Xuze were chatting happily, and no one noticed Zhou Yu's inexplicably gloomy expression.

After arriving at the community and unloading the luggage from the car, "You guys go back first, I'll go park the car."

"good."

While Shi Xuze was parking the car, Yao Yingmo went straight into the kitchen.

The luggage was not packed and was thrown directly into the room.

Although they got on the bus in the morning, it was already dark after the long journey.

It's time for dinner.

Yao Yingmo steamed the glutinous rice sausage that Grandma Yang had given him, sliced ​​the sausage and fried it with onions, and then made a dish of braised pork with kimchi.

Yao Yingmo finished three dishes in one go. She looked at the finished dishes and thought for a while, then turned around, opened the cupboard and took out a can of corn kernels.

Shi Xuze loves corn kernels, so let’s make corn soup tonight.

Shi Xuze really enjoyed the meal. "The glutinous rice sausage is so fragrant, and the sausage is also very flavorful, but I still like the corn soup the best."

Zhou Yu snorted lightly, and rarely managed to restrain himself from retorting him.

Yao Yingmo also made his favorite kimchi braised pork, and it was all his. He didn't share a single bite with Shi Xuze, even though he couldn't eat it anyway.

Everyone got along harmoniously at the dinner table and enjoyed their meal. The happiest one was Yao Yingmo. This was the scene she wanted to see when she thought about the dishes.

After the meal, Shi Xuze demonstrated his tea-making skills.

When Yao Yingmo saw the whole set of tea sets, he couldn't hide his surprise and exclaimed.

She didn't expect that Shi Xuze could make tea. She had even washed the simple teapot when she found out that Shi Xuze had gone home and brought a whole set of professional tea sets.

Warm the cup, add tea and brew.

Yao Yingmo sat next to him and watched Shi Xuze operate.

He calmed down and looked at the tea intently. The height of the golden tea in the three teacups was exactly the same.

At this moment, his figure overlapped with the one in the recording studio.

His focused look exuded an inexplicable attraction, making Yao Yingmo unable to take his eyes off him.

"Good tea." Yao Yingmo didn't know much about tea, but he could tell the smoothness and fragrance of the tea after just one sip, without any knowledge of tea.

"I'll tell my dad so he can give us more tea next time."

Yao Yingmo smiled: "Then you are really filial."

Take dad's tea to honor her neighbor.

"He won't be angry." Shi Xuze said meaningfully.

After drinking a cup of tea, Zhou Yu quietly disappeared into the living room. Yao Yingmo and Shi Xuze, who were chatting, didn't notice it at all. It was not until they were cleaning up that Yao Yingmo realized that Zhou Yu had been back in his room for who knows how long.

"He must be tired after a long day of running around." Yao Yingmo found an excuse for Zhou Yu and sent Shi Xuze out. "You should also rest early. Work starts tomorrow."

"And you?"

Yao Yingmo: "I'm going to start dealing with revisions to the physical book tomorrow."

Shi Xuze: "Then I wish us all good luck in our work."

At this time, they didn't know that tomorrow would not be a day for them to work properly.
