The two looked at each other, their eyes meeting. Neither of them spoke, they simply gazed at each other silently.
Shen Zhiyi looked at the man in front of her holding her hand, feeling his warm breath gently brushing against her cheek, and a trace of shyness slowly crept into her heart.
She closed her eyes slightly, waiting for someone's next move.
When Su Che saw her suddenly close her eyes while looking at him, he was a little confused. "Why are your eyes closed?"
Welcome.
Just then, the sensor at the door sounded again.
"Young man, two packs of lotus flowers, please." A sudden male voice rang out, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere between Su Che and Shen Zhiyi.
Immediately afterwards, a balding man in his late forties came to the cashier.
"OK."
Su Che snapped out of his daze, handed the chilled water to Chen Zhiyi, then went inside, took out a pack of cigarettes the man had asked for, scanned the barcode, and said, "Your cigarettes, 45."
After paying, the man picked up his cigarettes, glanced at Su Che, then at Chen Zhiyi, and muttered to himself, "What has this kid done to deserve this...?"
After the man left, Su Che looked at Shen Zhiyi, who was standing there blankly, and said, "Where are you standing guard? If you don't eat your noodles soon, you'll get hunchbacked."
"oh oh......"
Shen Zhiyi was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously walked towards the long table where the instant noodles were placed. Halfway there, she turned back to look at Su Che, pursed her lips, and said softly, "I...I made two bowls."
After saying that, Shen Zhiyi blinked her big, watery eyes and stared at Su Che without saying a word or moving. He wasn't stupid, so he naturally knew what Shen Zhiyi meant.
"I know, I'll be there in a bit."
"good!"
Upon hearing Su Che's answer, Shen Zhiyi beamed like a child who had received candy, and quickly sat down at the long table to wait for Su Che to come and eat instant noodles together.
Watching Shen Zhiyi stir with a disposable fork, Su Che went to get two hard-boiled eggs and came to Shen Zhiyi's side.
"Here you go~ you treat me to noodles, I'll treat you to eggs."
After handing her the braised egg, he sat down next to her, tore open the paper lid, took out a fork, and started eating. A familiar taste filled his mouth. Actually, instant noodles are quite delicious when you eat them occasionally, but if you eat them for months on end, nine out of ten people will throw up.
Thank you~
Shen Zhiyi turned to thank Su Che, her face beaming with a sweet smile.
Su Che didn't answer. Instead, he took a bite of the braised egg, chewed it, and stammered, "I've removed that WeChat from your blacklist."
He blocked Chen Zhiyi before because of some misjudgment; he was being petty and judging her capacity for kindness.
However, in the current situation, it is obviously not appropriate to put him on the blacklist. Although she has not mentioned it, a man should take the initiative.
"real?"
With instant noodles dangling from her mouth and her eyes crinkling into crescent shapes, Shen Zhiyi quickly slurped the noodles away and stammered, "So, does that mean I can chat with you from now on?"
"Um."
Su Che lowered his head, ate his noodles, and hummed in agreement.
"ah!"
"Brother Su, you're so kind," Shen Zhiyi said happily, just like a three-year-old child. She mumbled incoherently as she swallowed the instant noodles in her mouth, feeling exceptionally cheerful.
"Cough cough cough~~"
As expected, Shen Zhiyi, who was carried away with her pride, choked. Su Che put down his fork with a helpless expression, helped Shen Zhiyi catch her breath, and then took out a bottle of water, twisted it open, and fed it to Shen Zhiyi.
After finishing her drink, Shen Zhiyi stuck out her little tongue and licked her lips. Su Che's gaze shifted from her little tongue to the water droplet at the corner of her mouth, watching as a drop of water flowed from the corner of her mouth to her chin.
"What are you looking at?" Shen Zhiyi looked at Su Che, who was staring blankly down at the ground. She followed his gaze and looked down as well. She could see everything except his toes.
This unintentional lowering of his head made Su Che a little distracted. He coughed a few times awkwardly and said, "Hurry up and eat."
Shen Zhiyi patted her tummy, shook her head and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I just drank enough water, so I can't eat anymore."
Then Shen Zhiyi moved the remaining half-bucket of instant noodles next to Su Che, a sly smile playing on her lips, and said slowly, "Brother Su, look, I still have so many instant noodles left, while yours is almost finished. Why don't you... help me eat some?"
After saying that, she blinked her big eyes and looked at Su Che expectantly.
Su Che looked at the half-eaten instant noodles in front of him and couldn't help but feel uneasy. He glanced at the noodles and then at Shen Zhiyi, noticing that she was looking at him with expectant eyes, as if waiting for his response. However, Su Che did not answer Shen Zhiyi's question immediately, but remained silent.
Seeing that Su Che remained silent for a long time, Shen Zhiyi's face was filled with disappointment. She pursed her lips somewhat uneasily, blinked her big eyes, and asked with undisguised disappointment, "Are you disgusted with me? I brush my teeth every day, they're not dirty..."
As she spoke, her voice gradually faded, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Su Che looked at Shen Zhiyi, who was acting like a drama queen, and suddenly felt a little powerless. This woman was too good at understanding men's psychology. He didn't answer whether he disliked her or not, but simply proved with his actions that the instant noodles she left were more fragrant than his own.
Half a bucket of instant noodles was just a matter of a few forks for him. Then the two of them finished the rest of the spicy strips. When they were eating the spicy strips, Shen Zhiyi went even further. She took a bite and fed the rest of the strip to Su Che.
Burp~
Su Che couldn't help but let out a burp and said awkwardly, "Um... I'm full."
"ah?"
"But there's still half a pack left to eat~" Shen Zhiyi pouted, her face full of displeasure. She should have eaten more of the instant noodles earlier.
Immediately afterwards, Su Che stood up and threw all the instant noodle scraps and other trash on the table into the trash can. Then he walked to the cashier, pulled out a few tissues, wiped the grease off his mouth, placed the tissues in front of her, and wiped the table as well.
"It's so late, go back to sleep."
"Oh, oh," Shen Zhiyi pursed her lips, looking rather dejected, after hearing Su Che urge her to leave.
However, remembering that Su Che had removed her from his WeChat blacklist, her eyes lit up and she asked, "Can I message you when we get home?"
"Okay, I'll get back to you when I have time."
Su Che gave a soft "hmm," then saw Shen Zhiyi to the shop entrance. Just as he was about to leave, Shen Zhiyi turned around with a bright smile and said happily to Su Che, "Then I'll go back."
Su Che nodded without speaking, his tone much gentler. The reason he had been cold to her before was simply because he didn't understand her. But after a series of events, although he had no intention of dating her, it wouldn't hurt to become friends.
After all, the two were of vastly different social standing, so a good outcome was unlikely.
