Chapter 486: Eating Sweet Food Together, Never Talking About It (Update 1)
After eating hot pot, the two walked for a while to help digest the food.
Jiang Fuyue: "The second phase of the experiment starts tomorrow?"
Xie Dingyuan: "That's the plan."
"good."
Passing by a dessert shop, the man paused, turned around and asked her, "Do you want some?"
Jiang Fuyue's legs could no longer move.
She likes sweets. She couldn't refuse Zhong Ziang's mango mille-feuille at the door of A1 laboratory, so now she naturally can't refuse Xie Dingyuan.
"want."
"Let's go in and take a look."
Xie Dingyuan pushed the door open, and Jiang Fuyue followed closely behind.
The two stood in front of a transparent glass refrigerator, which was filled with various sweet treats with exquisite shapes and bright colors.
"Which one do you like?" the man tilted his head and asked her.
At this moment, Jiang Fuyue's eyes were completely attracted by the dessert in front of her. After hearing the words, she was reluctant to take her eyes off it.
Xie Dingyuan looked at her focused profile, his heartbeat getting faster and faster...
"This." She pointed to the burnt-brown dessert on her left.
The man glanced at the label and saw it was called semi-rare cheese.
"...What else?"
Jiang Fuyue shook her head: "One is enough."
"Don't you want anything else?" Xie Dingyuan was a little confused. She clearly showed her longing for each of them, but why did she only choose one in the end?
Jiang Fuyue was very clear: "No."
"Actually, you can choose two more. This one doesn't look like it has much, so it should..."
"But I can only eat one," the girl interrupted him with a smile. "There are so many beautiful things in the world, and you don't have to try everything. It's good enough to just choose the one you like best."
Xie Dingyuan was stunned.
Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow: "Am I wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
The man opened his mouth but no sound came out for a long time.
He wanted to ask: If you're like this with things, what about people? Do you also choose only the one you love the most and be faithful to that one forever?
But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he suddenly realized that their current relationship was not suitable for discussing this issue.
Xie Dingyuan's eyes were deep, and his Adam's apple moved slightly: "No, you said it very well. Whether in life or work, we should never be greedy."
"Yes." Jiang Fuyue nodded, stood up straight, and cast a clear gaze at the smiling waiter behind the counter: "Two pieces of semi-rare cheese, please. Can you eat them?"
She asked Xie Dingyuan and ordered a portion for two.
"Okay." The man nodded gently.
But in fact, everyone who knows Xie Dingyuan knows that he never touches sweets.
Waiter: "Would you like to take away or eat in the restaurant?"
Jiang Fuyue said it was fine, and looked at Xie Dingyuan with an inquiring look.
"In the store."
"good."
The store is not spacious, but the decoration is very stylish. The walls are painted in watercolor colors, but they are not dazzling. Instead, they make the whole space look bright and warm.
The two of them chose a seat by the window in the corner, with a simple small square table and small wooden chairs. Jiang Fuyue, who was 1.73 meters tall, felt crowded, let alone Xie Dingyuan.
The tall man sat down awkwardly, looking around unnaturally, and secretly pressed the chair under his butt with his hand, as if to make sure whether it was strong enough to support his weight.
Fortunately, it didn't shake or sway, it was very stable.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but his long arms and legs still had nowhere to go. He could only retract them further and further, and then shrink his body again and again.
Finally it became a ball.
With that slightly resentful look in his eyes, he looked really aggrieved.
Jiang Fuyue couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Xie Dingyuan: “…”
"Ahem..." Jiang Fuyue stopped teasing him and nodded towards the dessert in front of her. "Wouldn't you like to try it? It tastes pretty good."
She couldn't wait to take two bites.
Xie Dingyuan's scalp tingled, but he remained expressionless. He picked up the small steel spoon beside him, scooped a mouthful and put it into his mouth.
The rich aroma of cheese rushed to the tip of his tongue. The cold and soft texture still made him feel uncomfortable, but it was not as repulsive as he had imagined.
Under the cheese is a crispy cake base, which is crispy but not greasy, and has a strong milky aroma.
In fact, it is not too sweet, probably because of the addition of citrus ingredients. It even has a fresh fragrance that just neutralizes the greasy taste of sugar.
"How is it?" She looked expectant.
Xie Dingyuan nodded. "It's delicious. But the seats are too crowded."
"So... let's go out? Eat while we walk?"
The etiquette education Xie Dingyuan received since childhood told him that this was not appropriate behavior.
But...so what?
"Okay." He agreed immediately.
After paying the bill, the two picked up the unfinished desserts and worked while walking.
This was an experience Xie Dingyuan had never had before, and he was full of curiosity.
He soon discovered that it was not just him and Jiang Fuyue, many young men and women on the street were either holding milk tea or grilled skewers in their hands.
Eat while walking, talk while eating, laugh while talking.
The joy that emanated from them was so clear and distinct even from half a street away.
"Are all young people nowadays like this?" Xie Dingyuan couldn't help but ask.
What is this?
Jiang Fuyue followed his gaze and saw a young man and woman across the street holding a handful of skewers and finishing one in one gulp.
The two of them leaned against each other and smiled from time to time.
Jiang Fuyue was a little surprised that he would ask such a question. After thinking for a moment, she said, "This has nothing to do with youth. It's just that couples are so close."
"Couple?" Xie Dingyuan was slightly surprised.
"Yeah, can't you see?"
He glanced at her again, his eyes filled with confusion. "Just because they were close to each other, chatting and eating together?"
Does this make us a couple?
Then aren't he and Jiang Fuyue sitting pretty close to each other right now, chatting and eating...
Xie Dingyuan was shocked by his own idea.
But from a logical point of view, there doesn't seem to be any problem.
Jiang Fuyue looked at him with a strange look in her eyes.
Xie Dingyuan: “?”
"Haven't you ever been in love?" she blurted out.
The man was stunned, and the next second, two red spots appeared on his ears.
Jiang Fuyue realized that she had spoken nonsense and quickly explained: "Um... just pretend that I didn't..." asked.
Before the last word came out, the man gritted his teeth and spoke word by word.
"No."
Have you never been in love?
No.
Jiang Fuyue's eyes showed shock.
Xie Dingyuan smiled coldly: "Why, you seem surprised?"
Well!
Shouldn't it be surprising?
You are already this old, almost forty after turning thirty, and you have never been in a relationship?
The man seemed to see through her thoughts, and his smile turned even colder: "You seem very experienced?"
"No, no, no," Jiang Fuyue waved her hands. "I don't have any. I don't look like I have any, right?"
"Well, that's good," he nodded, serious, "Avoid premature love and focus on studying."
Don't be fooled by his calm appearance, he is actually secretly ecstatic inside.
Jiang Fuyue looked at him in confusion.
But on second thought, he expressed his understanding.
After all, a man who is almost thirty years old has never had a girlfriend and was exposed by her on the spot. He lost face. No wonder he was so sarcastic. He must have been hurt in his self-esteem.
Tsk, men, no matter how high their IQ is, are all pretentious in some aspects.
Xie Dingyuan, who was labeled as "hypocritical", glanced at him: "?"
Why is she looking at me secretly?
Still sighing quietly?
You don't have any thoughts about me... ahem...?
Thinking of this, the corners of the man's mouth rose uncontrollably.
His whole face was glowing red.
After eating dessert and taking a walk, Xie Dingyuan drove back to Yutian Huafu.
On the way, Jiang Fuyue yawned, and feeling sleepy, he tilted his head and began to doze off.
When we arrived at the gate of the community, the security guard stopped the car as usual to verify the identity of the owner.
Xie Dingyuan lowered the car window and before the other party could speak, he lowered his voice and said, "Keep your voice down."
The guard looked at the passenger seat and saw that the young and beautiful woman had fallen asleep. The street light shone on her profile, making her stunningly beautiful. What was there to not understand?
He nodded quickly and said in the smallest voice: "It turns out to be Mr. Xie. I didn't expect you to drive the car yourself today. Please come in..."
"Yeah." He nodded slightly, closed the car window, and drove smoothly into the community under the watchful eyes of the security guard.
"Tsk...that's weird!" the security guard muttered.
"Hey, Xiaotian, are you on duty today?" Jiang Da stopped in front of the guardrail on his electric bike and greeted him with a smile.
"Hey! Brother Jiang is back? Are you closing so early today?"
"There's someone guarding the store, so I came back first. I'm worried about the kids! Come on, have a cigarette."
"Thank you, thank you, you are very kind."
"It's getting cold tonight, why are you standing outside alone? And talking to yourself..."
"Hey, I just came out of the pavilion. A resident drove in, and I lifted the barrier to let him through. It's really strange, this resident seems to be a researcher, leaving early and returning late every day, living a simple life. I've lived here for so many years, and I've never seen him go in and out with anyone other than the driver. This is the first time I've seen him with a woman in his car..."
