Chapter 12 Mission
She lowered her eyebrows and didn't dare to look at him at all. Her curled eyelashes blocked her gaze, but it couldn't hide her embarrassment.
Just when Lin You thought he was going to die on the spot, the waiter knocked on the door and came in with a menu and asked them to order.
She grabbed the menu and ordered the dishes quickly. "Is there anything Mr. Shi is not eating?"
Shi Jingyuan suppressed his playful expression and shook his head slightly.
Lin You: "Then I'll just order whatever I want."
She handed the menu back to the waiter, and as if remembering something, she asked again, "Mr. Shi, would you like a drink?"
Shi Jingyuan pretended to think about it for a moment, and when he saw the tension slowly creeping onto her face, his smile grew wider.
"Today is just a light meal, no drinks."
Lin You secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. He wanted to drink, and it would be unreasonable for her, as the host, not to drink.
Soon, the steaming pot was served on the table.
There are certain risks in eating wild mushrooms. The waiter prepared a timer and repeatedly reminded us to eat them only when the time is up.
Shi Jingyuan was very busy and received several calls at once. It was not until the timer was up that he finished dealing with them.
Lin You prepared the sauce for him and placed it in front of him. He glanced at the red and green peppers in the small bowl in front of him, and his expression froze slightly.
Both of them ate quietly. Lin You had a good appetite, but Shi Jingyuan ate very little.
Seeing that he hadn't moved his chopsticks much, Lin You asked softly, "Mr. Shi...are you not used to it?"
With her financial situation, she couldn't afford to treat people of her class to luxurious restaurants.
She showed her utmost sincerity within her ability, and if he still couldn't accept it, she didn't intend to force herself to adapt to his level.
Shi Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, "No, I just don't eat chili peppers these days."
"oh."
Lin You hesitated for a moment and made him a new sauce without chili.
Shi Jingyuan said thank you, picked up the chopsticks again and took two bites, and then the waiter came in pushing a cart.
"Today is our boss and his wife's tenth wedding anniversary, and we've prepared surprises for every couple that comes to dine here!"
Lin You's eyes fell on a row of cute kitten figurines on the cart. One of the kittens had gray spots on the right side of its face.
It's exactly the same as Hu Baoer!
It was quite a surprise.
Lin You smiled and pointed at the cat figurine, "I want this."
It was the first time that Shi Jingyuan saw her smile so naturally. It turned out that when she really smiled, small dimples would appear on her face.
The waiter quickly waved her hands and said, "Miss, these figures cannot be given away directly."
Lin You blinked, "Huh? Do I have to pay for it? How much..."
"No, we don't sell it." The waiter took out a poster board from under the cart and pointed to the rules of the game on it and explained.
"Couples interact to win big prizes! Each couple can randomly draw a mission card. After completing the target task on the mission card, they can choose a cat figurine of their choice."
After that, the waiter also gave a kind encouragement, "Don't worry, miss, the tasks on the cards are super simple. We focus on a sense of ritual."
You have to complete tasks to get rewards.
But she and Shi Zong are not lovers!
If it was any other male colleague, she wouldn't be so shameless as to ask him to pretend to do the task for two minutes just for the reward...
But the one in front of him is Shi Zong...
Forget it, she and this figurine are not destined to be together!
"I'm sorry, we..."
"Let me smoke it."
Shi Jingyuan suddenly interrupted her and winked at her.
He randomly drew a card from the waiter's hand.
The waiter took a look at the task content and said, "Sir, Madam, congratulations on winning the easiest game task!"
Lin You was stunned and swallowed the words that wanted to refuse the task.
If it's simple, Mr. Shi should be willing to cooperate, right? How about giving it a try?
She stared at the kitten figurine eagerly, not knowing that in Shi Jingyuan's eyes, her expression at the moment was no different from that of the kitten.
The waiter announced the challenge content:
"If you can strike the pose in the example picture and take the photo in under a minute, you'll succeed! Here's the example picture. It's easy, right?"
Lin You's eyes fell on the example picture and he immediately took a breath!
You call this simple?
In the example picture, a man and a woman are hugging each other face to face. The woman is standing on tiptoe with her eyes closed, and the man is slightly lowering his head as if to move closer. The distance between their lips is less than one centimeter!
What does this picture of whether to kiss or not mean?
The waiter smiled warmly and asked, "It feels great, right? Our boss lady found some pictures online. She said it's called wanting to talk but not to, an ambiguous and tug-of-war! It's the most memorable state of being in a relationship!"
Lin You: “…”
Shi Jingyuan: “…”
The two exchanged glances, and Lin You cleared his throat and spoke first, his words slurring due to embarrassment. "Um... uh... how about... "
Shi Jingyuan stood up calmly and held out his hand to her: "It's quite simple, just taking a picture."
Lin You stared at his bony hands and hesitated for a long time before placing her hand in his palm.
The warm and soft touch suddenly made Shi Jingyuan's eyes darken.
However, he quickly controlled his emotions and pulled Lin You to stand face to face.
Lin You just glanced at him quickly, then quickly closed her eyes and gently stood on tiptoe.
Fortunately, the woman in the example picture has her eyes closed. If she had to look him in the eye, she would never do the task!
Shi Jingyuan watched her cheeks turn red little by little, and the red gradually spread to her lips, adding a bit of seductive color to her already warm lip color.
His eyes fell on her lips, and an uncontrollable fire seemed to rise in his eyes, burning him with strange pain somewhere in his body.
He unconsciously lowered his head slightly, as if if he got a little closer, he would be able to taste the most beautiful flavor of these red lips...
“Crack!”
The flash went off and the waiter took out a Polaroid camera to capture the moment.
Lin You opened his eyes and was startled by Shi Jingyuan's close proximity. He quickly stepped back to maintain social distance.
Her heart couldn't stop beating wildly. Was she dazzled just now? She actually thought that Mr. Shi might really kiss her?
No, it's just a pose! She must be overthinking it.
The waiter brought the photos he had taken and showed them.
The man and woman hugging each other in the photo are exactly the same as in the example picture, even the love in their eyes is almost the same.
"Congratulations to both of you for completing the challenge! I told you this mission was the easiest."
The waiter pointed to the row of cat figurines and said, "You two can each pick one!"
Lin You gritted his teeth and grabbed the cat figurine he liked.
Shi Jingyuan took a look at the kitten figurine in her hand and took out the same one as hers.
After dinner, while Lin You went to the bar to pay the bill, Shi Jingyuan found the waiter who had just played the game.
"Do you want the photo we took just now?" the waiter asked in confusion.
"Um."
The waiter pointed to the photo wall at the back and said, "All the photos from today's activities will be posted on the confession wall. If you want, do you want to take some photos with your phone?"
Shi Jingyuan calmly took out his phone and said, "Ten thousand yuan, I'll buy this photo."
The waiter's eyes lit up and he immediately stuffed the photo into his hand.
“Okay, boss!”
Shi Jingyuan scanned the code to transfer the money, raised the corner of his mouth and said, "The photos are nice."
When the waiter received the transfer notification, he smiled so hard that he couldn't stop, and also gave a few nice words.
"Thank you, boss! I wish you and your girlfriend a long and happy marriage and a baby soon!"
Shi Jingyuan: “…”
There's no need to be so enthusiastic.
After he put the photo away, he walked out of the shop. At the door, Lin You had been waiting for a while holding a kitten figurine.
He said gently, "Wait for me, I'll go drive."
"No need, Mr. Shi. I can go back by myself." She was just an employee, so how could she let the big boss send her off in person?
The gentleness on Shi Jingyuan's face disappeared, and he threw two words at the tactless woman in front of him.
"On the way."
Aren’t Shangcheng Apartment and Hu Ting Yaju in two directions?
Oh, Mr. Shi might have a second show, so maybe we have to go somewhere else.
Thinking of this, Lin You obediently responded with a "OK".
*
It was almost dawn when Shi Jingyuan returned to Hu Ting Yaju.
After he finished washing up, he saw the cat figurine at the entrance, hesitated for a moment, and took it to the study.
His study is decorated in black, white and brown as the main colors. This snow-white kitten figurine not only looks harmonious on the desk, but also makes the whole room look much softer.
He nodded in satisfaction and went to sleep peacefully.
The night was rippling, and the breeze stirred the restless gauze by the window. Against the cool white moonlight, it broke into the dream of the person who was sleeping restlessly on the bed.
Shi Jingyuan suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and grabbed his phone to call his private doctor.
"Doctor Liang! I might be poisoned..."
