Chapter 411 Don’t mind having one more person?
The atmosphere is about to become ambiguous.
She smiled lightly and joked, "No wonder you're so good at playing the piano. You have such a good memory that you can even recite the music backwards, right?"
Tan Wenzhou's eyes flickered, and he smiled softly, "It should be... because I often take cod liver oil."
Wang Yuanling smiled cooperatively: "Then you have to tell me the brand, so I can try it too."
That little bit of ambiguity was blown away by the wind.
They chatted intermittently as they walked.
Talking about past memories, it seems that every place we go is the key to unlock countless memories.
"Teacher Tan?"
Suddenly, there were cheers of joy from the side.
Wang Yuanling glanced sideways and saw two beautifully dressed young girls. When they saw Tan Wenzhou's face clearly, they excitedly pulled each other's sleeves and said, "Ahhhh, it really is Teacher Tan."
Very energetic and cute.
Wang Yuanling glanced sideways at Tan Wenzhou and smiled gently, "Looks like she's your fan."
As soon as the words fell, the two girls trotted over to them, their faces flushed and their eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Teacher Tan, we are your fans. Can...can we take a photo with you?"
Tan Wenzhou responded with a gentle smile, and that smile seemed to have a soft light of its own, which made the two girls' eyes sparkle.
"Of course." He said softly.
"Yeah yeah yeah! Thank you Teacher Tan!" The pure joy of the girls, like the warm spring sun, also infected Wang Yuanling.
She stood quietly by, the smile on her lips deepening a little, with the tolerance and calmness of a bystander.
The two girls have already taken out their cell phones, eager to try.
Tan Wenzhou turned to Wang Yuanling at the right moment, and said apologetically, "Yuanling, could you please wait for me for a moment?"
She nodded slightly, her smile still gentle: "Okay, it's okay."
As her eyes moved around, she even took the initiative to look at the two excited girls with consideration, and asked softly, "Do you need my help taking pictures?" Her attitude was very graceful, without any sense of embarrassment of being left out.
"Ah! That's great! Thank you, sister!" One of the girls immediately handed her the phone with gratitude.
Wang Yuanling took the phone with slender white fingers.
She took two steps back, looking for a suitable angle.
The evening breeze blew by, and a few strands of soft hair gently brushed across her smooth forehead. She looked at the screen intently with a calm look in her eyes.
The street lights cast a soft halo around her, and her gentle and calm temperament formed a sharp contrast with the lively girls beside her.
Tan Wenzhou watched, fascinated.
"Are you ready? Look at the camera." Her voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.
A few soft "click" sounds captured the girls' bright smiles and Tan Wenzhou's gentle figure.
"Thank you, sister! The photos are great!" The girls took their phones back, looked at the photos, thanked Wang Yuanling again, and reluctantly said goodbye to Tan Wenzhou, walking away, looking back every few steps.
The surroundings became quiet again, with only the breeze and the distant noise.
Tan Wenzhou walked back to Wang Yuanling, and the distance between them seemed closer than before.
He watched her tuck a strand of wind-blown hair behind her ear, the movement natural and gentle.
The air seemed to still be filled with the lively warmth of the fan encounter, but a more private and focused atmosphere had also subtly settled.
"Thank you for helping me take the photo." He spoke, his voice seemed a little softer than before, his eyes fell on her face, with a gentle smile that had not yet faded, and a hint of deeper exploration.
Wang Yuanling raised her eyes to meet his gaze, the smile in her eyes still there, still clear, but also seemed to be softened by the quiet atmosphere.
"It's just a piece of cake," she said softly. After a pause, she teased, "Teacher Tan is incredibly charming. It seems like she's often surrounded by people."
Tan Wenzhou chuckled softly, and the laughter sounded particularly pleasant in the breeze.
"I'm honored to be liked by them." He paused, looked at her intently, and said with regret: "I should have taken a picture for you just now."
Wang Yuanling's watery eyes were filled with confusion: "Just now? Did I take a photo with your fans?" She didn't understand what he meant.
"No." Tan Wenzhou chuckled. "It's you standing under the light taking pictures for us..." He paused slightly, as if weighing his words, but his eyes conveyed frank appreciation. "Like a painting, very quiet and beautiful."
Wang Yuanling was slightly startled, and smiled mischievously: "Thank you, it seems that I bought this dress for nothing."
Tan Wenzhou was amused by her playful tone, and his eyes looked at her more tenderly.
Wang Yuanling: "Shall we continue walking?"
"good."
Tan Wenzhou raised his lip and stood side by side with her again, but intentionally or unintentionally, he was closer to her.
Arrived at the door of the familiar clay pot porridge shop.
Wang Yuanling looked up at the sign and sighed, "This shop really hasn't changed at all."
Tan Wenzhou glanced at the empty seat beside him and said, "Yuan Ling, let's sit there."
Wang Yuanling withdrew his gaze from under the sign and said, "Okay."
The waiter came out with the menu and asked enthusiastically, "What kind of porridge would you like to order?"
Tan Wenzhou took the menu, spread it out, and placed it in front of Wang Yuanling: "Yuanling, take a look, what kind of porridge would you like to drink?"
Waiter: "The shrimps are average today. We recommend the eel porridge."
Hearing this, Wang Yuanling raised his eyes and smiled: "Is it really that real?"
The waiter immediately laughed and said, "Of course, we are in business for a long time. We will inform customers in advance whether the ingredients are good or not."
Tan Wenzhou chuckled: "It's because your food tastes so good that after all these years, we still come back here to eat."
The waiter was surprised: "You two graduated from the same school across the street?"
Tan Wenzhou: “Yes.”
The waiter immediately said: "Well, I'll tell our boss later and send you an extra plate of hemp leaves!"
Wang Yuanling and Tan Wenzhou looked at each other and smiled.
Wang Yuanling closed the menu and said, "Thank you. We'd like some eel porridge, please. Could you please make two servings?"
The waiter quickly wrote down, "OK! Please wait a moment, the eel porridge will be here soon."
He was full of energy and ran back to the kitchen after picking up the menu.
Wang Yuanling smiled and said, "I now understand why their family is still standing strong after all these years."
Tan Wenzhou took the initiative and replied with a smile: "With good taste and friendly service, I think they can continue to operate for another 10 years."
Wang Yuanling narrowed her eyes and said, "I think so too. By the way, Brother Zhou, when are you planning on going back?"
Tan Wenzhou held up the frame with his fingertips, his eyes flickering, "No rush this time."
Wang Yuanling smiled gently: "Then you can take this opportunity to have a good time in China, eat whatever you want, and have fun."
Tan Wenzhou didn't respond immediately, but just looked at her.
The slightly noisy background noise in the store seemed to blur out, and the light from the corner fell softly on her face.
He was silent for two seconds, and that brief pause seemed to contain thousands of words.
Finally, he spoke, his voice low and clear, with a frank and tentative tone: "Actually, the reason I'm not in a hurry to leave." He paused, looking deeper into her eyes, and added: "It's because... I want to fulfill a wish."
Wang Yuanling's fingertips paused imperceptibly.
Facing his smiling face, her lips parted, as if she wanted to say something.
"Sizzle."
There was a harsh sound of a chair being dragged and scraping against the floor next to me.
Her thoughts were interrupted.
Turning my head, I met those black eyes that were nonchalant yet revealed endless chill.
Her brain buzzed and crashed.
Gu Zhou???
Why is he here?
Tan Wenzhou was surprised: "Azhou? Why are you here?"
Gu Zhou's eyes fell straight on her face.
Looking at her surprised reaction, he was very calm and sat down without hesitation.
Her overly long legs folded, her chin tilted upwards, her deep gaze wandering over their faces. She raised the corners of her lips and spoke lazily, "You don't mind having one more person, do you?"
