Chapter 36 Are you deliberately throwing yourself into my arms?
Lin Xi had no idea what Song Xu was thinking. She opened the navigation, entered the location of the noodle shop, and showed it to Song Xu, "Mr. Song, this is the place."
Song Xu was very familiar with the area around Jiangda University. He glanced at the map and knew where it was: a small alley near the north gate of Jiangda University.
There were many snack shops in that alley, which survived thanks to the students of Jiangnan University, but Song Xu had never been there.
"Understood." Song Xu withdrew his gaze.
Lin Xi sent the location to Shen Yan again.
Ten minutes later, two luxury cars, one blue and one black, stopped in front of a noodle shop, attracting passersby to stop and watch.
Today is the registration day for new students at Jiangnan University. Although it was past lunchtime, there were still many people coming to eat.
Shen Yan and his two companions got out of the car first, and many people around them were taking pictures of the luxury car with their phones, preparing to post them on their WeChat Moments.
"Clang, clang, clang!" Shen Yan and his two companions seemed to have become celebrities, shining brightly under the flashing lights.
"Wow, this guy is so handsome!" many girls exclaimed.
"Look at the girl behind them, she's so pretty too! Is this what a handsome guy and beautiful girl combination looks like!"
Bai Tiantian is also a stunning beauty, standing next to Shen Yan and Xiao Heng without being overshadowed.
When she hears someone praising her, she can pinpoint the source of the sound and wave enthusiastically back.
She Niu Shen Yan was completely in awe of Bai Tian Tian; she was a rare social tyrant!
Seeing that there were quite a few people gathered outside, Song Xu took out a pair of sunglasses, put them on, and got out of the car first.
A gasp of surprise rang out.
"Wow, this guy is even more handsome!"
"Ah, ah, ah, it's Song Xu!" An older student recognized Song Xu.
A freshman next to him asked curiously, "Song Xu? Is he famous?"
"Of course, he's the campus heartthrob of Jiang University, a top student in the School of Economics, and the young master of Huayue Group."
"Huayue Group? My God, no wonder he can drive such an expensive sports car."
...
Amidst gasps of surprise, Song Xu opened the passenger door and reached out to help Lin Xi.
He noticed that Lin Xi was still limping, so he told her not to get out of the car yet.
Lin Xi thought something had happened and didn't dare to move. When the car door was opened, she saw Song Xu's outstretched hand.
"Get down, does your foot still hurt? I'll help you inside."
Song Xu had long, slender hands. Lin Xi remembered being captivated by his hands the first time she saw him, and now those hands were right in front of her.
She hesitated for a moment, then reached out her hand.
Holding Lin Xi's soft, delicate hand, Song Xu exerted a little force and helped Lin Xi out of the car.
Lin Xi landed on her injured foot first. Song Xu's force was a bit too much, and she lost her balance, falling forward and landing right in Song Xu's arms.
Song Xu put his arm around Lin Xi's waist, looked down at her, and said in a teasing tone, "Are you deliberately throwing yourself into my arms?"
Lin Xi blushed deeply. She pushed Song Xu away and steadied herself. "I'm sorry, Mr. Song, I didn't mean to."
Song Xu hummed in agreement. "You didn't do it on purpose, you did it intentionally."
"I didn't." Lin Xi's face turned even redder as she became anxious.
Song Xu acted as if he hadn't heard. He looked up at the noodle shop's signboard, which was just an ordinary ramen shop. "This is where you're going to treat us?"
“Yes,” Lin Xi took a deep breath to calm herself down, “Let’s go in.”
One of her hands was still being held by Song Xu. She tried to pull it out, but it wouldn't budge.
Song Xu gestured with his chin to Shen Yan and Xiao Heng, who had gotten out of the car first, indicating that they should go in first.
The noodle shop owner stood nervously at the door, his hands clenched together, silently thinking to himself that he hadn't offended anyone recently.
But these people don't look like they're here to eat noodles.
Looking at the two luxury cars parked at the entrance, he didn't dare to touch them. He had studied cars extensively online, and any part of one of them was worth as much as his noodle shop.
Seeing that the group had reached the shop entrance, the owner opened the door from the inside, smiling, and asked, "Are you here for noodles?"
"Are there any seats? Five people." Xiao Heng peeked inside first.
"Yes, we do," the noodle shop owner said, his heart sinking back into his throat. "Please come in."
Song Xu led Lin Xi at the back, walking slowly because he was mindful of her feet.
Lin Xi walked into the noodle shop, smiled and nodded slightly to the shop owner, "Boss, give me five bowls of the top-quality beef noodles."
The noodle shop owner was stunned when he saw Lin Xi, then slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "It's you, little girl!"
Lin Xi smiled and nodded. "Boss, you still remember me?"
"I remember, I remember," the noodle shop owner said, finally relieved. "Please come in!"
The five of them sat in a six-seater seat. Shen Yan and Xiao Heng naturally sat next to each other on one side, while Song Xu held Lin Xi's hand and they sat on the other side.
Bai Tiantian looked around and finally chose to sit next to Xiao Heng, which was also a good way to face Lin Xi.
"Xixi, do you know the owner of this place?" Bai Tiantian is a curious child and wants to know everything.
"I've been here once before, and the noodles here are delicious," Lin Xi said.
After receiving her admission notice from Jiangnan University, she made a special trip to Jiangnan University to familiarize herself with the environment and prepare for part-time work after the start of the semester.
She walked around to all the shops in the area, asking each one if they were hiring part-time workers. Most of them were, but the pay was very low.
At that time, she was still worried about tuition fees, and her part-time job wages were not enough. In the end, she asked this ramen restaurant.
When the ramen shop owner learned that she was a prospective college student and wanted to earn tuition fees, he offered her a very high salary, almost twice that of other shops.
Lin Xi was tempted and thought she would go back and discuss it with her grandmother. She was hungry, so she ordered the cheapest bowl of noodles.
While waiting for their food, two foreigners came in to eat. The owner didn't understand foreign languages, and the foreigners didn't speak Chinese. Both of them were very anxious.
Lin Xi volunteered to be the translator for the two people. It was her first time talking to foreigners, and she felt pretty good about it.
The noodle shop owner became even more enthusiastic towards Lin Xi and even gave her a small dish of side dishes as a gift.
When the ramen was served, Lin Xi found several pieces of meat underneath, probably hidden there to avoid making her feel embarrassed.
That was the best bowl of noodles she had ever eaten. She had originally planned to come here for a summer job, but because of her part-time job as a cleaning lady, she didn't come back.
Without keeping them waiting long, the noodle shop owner quickly brought over five bowls of ramen, each a large bowl with extra noodles and meat, along with braised eggs and vegetables.
Bai Tiantian stared in astonishment at the bowl, which was twice the size of her face. "Xixi, this is such a huge amount of noodles. We can't possibly finish a whole bowl together."
"It is a bit wasteful." Lin Xi didn't expect the boss to give so much noodles. She couldn't stand wasting food, which made her worry. Should she pack up the leftovers and take them away?
Song Xu took a little more than half of the noodles from Lin Xi's bowl. "Can you finish the rest?"
