Su Chuanlin blushed slightly as he followed Xiang Niannian to select vegetables.
Just now, when Su Chuanlin was about to call the waiter to order, he was stared at by the people around him, leaving him completely bewildered.
Finally, Xiang Niannian carefully tugged at the hem of his suit jacket and whispered, "Su Chuanlin, you can get your own food for this mala tang. You can eat whatever you want."
Upon hearing this, Su Chuanlin understood why the strangers had been staring at him when he called the waiter to order.
Stranger: Where did this rich young master come from, experiencing life? He's wearing a suit with his personal logo and a limited edition Patek Philippe watch.
"Oh, I see." Su Chuanlin was captivated when he saw Xiang Niannian's little hands carefully tugging at his clothes. The gesture was so cute.
——
When the hot pot was cooked and served, Su Chuanlin frowned slightly as he looked at the bowl full of red oil.
"I'm sorry, I forgot to ask if you can eat spicy food. I always add spice to my mala tang. If you can't eat spicy food, we can make you a new bowl."
Xiang Niannian noticed Su Chuanlin's expression and realized that not everyone can handle spicy food.
"It's okay, I can eat spicy food occasionally, it's good for my health." Su Chuanlin picked up disposable chopsticks and took a big bite, as if to prove that he could handle spicy food.
Seeing that An Nian had settled down, Xiang Niannian started eating on her own.
When she took the first bite, the unique flavor of the spicy hot pot, the fresh, spicy and numbing broth, rolled around in her mouth, and she couldn't help but mutter something before taking the second bite.
Meanwhile, Su Chuanlin, who was standing nearby, noticed and kept observing Xiang Niannian, thinking to himself, "How can she be so easily satisfied? She can be so happy eating a bowl of spicy hot pot that costs only a few dozen yuan."
It was half an hour later when Xiang Niannian finished her big bowl of spicy hot pot. She had basically finished it all, leaving only a little soup base. In contrast, Su Chuanlin still had more than half left.
"What's wrong?"
Su Chuanlin noticed that Xiang Niannian was staring at him, and asked her in confusion.
Are you... very hot?
Xiang Niannian took out a tissue and handed it to him, while pointing to her forehead to indicate to Su Chuanlin.
He was covered in sweat, with beads of sweat still clinging to his forehead.
Su Chuanlin took the tissue and hastily wiped away his sweat, instantly soaking the tissue.
"I'm stuffed."
Su Chuanlin felt that if he ate any more, his stomach wouldn't be able to take it.
Moreover, the dish wasn't very fresh, but the girl in front of him liked it, so he thought he could invest in a mala tang (spicy hot pot) restaurant and take her there in the future.
"Are you sure you're full?" Xiang Niannian asked, looking at the mala tang he had eaten about a quarter of.
Su Chuanlin coughed awkwardly and nodded: "I'm on a diet recently."
Xiang Niannian glanced at him, then blankly responded with an "oh," and got up to take out her phone to scan the QR code and pay.
The moment Su Chuanlin saw her phone, his eyes darkened.
******
Downstairs in an apartment building in the southern part of the city.
A white supercar stopped, and Xiang Nian thanked him and was about to unbuckle his seatbelt and get out of the car when his other hand was enveloped by a warm force.
Xiang Niannian turned her head in surprise, trying to break free of his hand, but Su Chuanlin held her firmly and did not let go.
Su Chuanlin stared at her without blinking, then slowly began to speak: "Xiang Niannian..."
Xiang Niannian didn't want to respond, because she knew she wouldn't know how to answer or face what he was about to say, but she still forced herself to answer, "What?"
"Don't run away from me, slowly accept my pursuit?"
"This is the first time I've liked a girl, the first time I've ever pursued someone. I may not have any skills or experience, but I will try my best. If you have even the slightest feeling for me, or even if you have no feelings for me at all but don't dislike me, could you give me a chance? I really like you. I dare not say I love you very much right now, but I believe I will like you more and more until I love you in the future."
For Su Chuanlin, there were many women who came close to him, but he didn't feel any attraction or impulse. However, every time he saw Xiang Niannian, he wanted to get closer to her, and even closer to her.
Su Chuanlin's deep eyes were fixed on Xiang Niannian without the slightest hesitation. His gaze remained mysterious and alluring, and his words were firm yet pleading.
He held her hand with a slight tightening.
The man's voice was magnetic and pleasant, filling Xiang Niannian's ears and seemingly stirring up waves of resonance.
After waiting for a while without getting a reply from Xiang Niannian, Su Chuanlin looked somewhat disappointed and slowly released her wrist.
"Su Chuanlin, actually I'm not good..." Xiang Niannian murmured, her head lowered.
Ten minutes later, Su Chuanlin saw the lights come on upstairs before getting into his car and driving away.
As soon as I started the car, I received a new message on my phone from someone I had saved as "Little Rabbit".
【good.】
The word "good" left Su Chuanlin stunned for a long time, then his shocked pupils gradually widened until they were filled with surprise.
My heart began to pound violently, surging and pounding.
She agreed! She really agreed!
She agreed to give him a chance to pursue her!
When Su Chuanlin heard Xiang Niannian's answer was correct, he did not refute her.
To answer this seriously, my liking for you isn't about whether I think you're good or bad; that doesn't matter. I just know I like you, want to be close to you, and want to be with you.
Similarly, when Xiang Niannian returned to her room and sent this message, she leaned against the door, looking at the "okay" she had sent, feeling incredibly uneasy.
Suddenly remembering something, she ran to the window, secretly pulled back the curtains, and looked down. She saw Su Chuanlin leaning against the car, looking up at her.
She abruptly drew the curtains shut, afraid that Su Chuanlin would see her peeking at him. She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt like he had just seen her.
"bite……"
When her phone rang, Xiang Niannian opened it to look at it.
Su Chuanlin: [Okay! Received. I will try my best to win you over.]
Get some rest, little bunny.
I'm leaving.
Little bunny, little bunny...
Xiang Niannian looked at him calling her "little rabbit" and felt inexplicably fond of it. The corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, and she murmured, "Little rabbit..."
the next day.
Nan Sheng barely slept all night after finding information about Jiang Xiangqing, and only drifted off to sleep when the sky began to lighten.
So much so that when I woke up it was already noon.
As soon as she woke up, she instinctively picked up her phone and saw two missed calls from unknown numbers. Staring at the familiar number she had just seen last night, she dialed it without any hesitation.
The other party answered the phone quickly.
"Hello, Miss Nan, I am Jiang Xiangqing."
P.S.: I caught the flu, my throat is completely hoarse, and I developed a fever in the middle of the night last night. I went to get my first shot of the year first thing this morning, and my fever only subsided tonight. I tried my best to update one chapter, afraid of breaking my continuous updates, sob sob. Being sick is really awful. I hope it all goes away!
