After strolling around the mall, the two decided to go out for dinner.
This time, however, it was Jiang Yumeng who brought Gu Fan along.
When it comes to food, Jiang Yumeng is definitely a foodie. Although it was her first time in Guangcheng, she proactively searched for nearby restaurants on Meitun.
After some deliberation, I decided to eat at Haidilao.
Arriving at the well-known Haidilao hot pot restaurant, the two chose a quiet corner. Watching Jiang Yumeng randomly order food, Gu Fan was somewhat alarmed.
Will I be able to afford to raise them myself in the future?
For some reason, this question popped into his mind.
Soon, the ingredients were served, and Jiang Yumeng thoughtfully prepared the dipping sauce for Gu Fan.
"Hey senior, this is my secret recipe! It's super delicious!"
Jiang Yumeng said with a look of self-satisfaction.
Gu Fan chuckled: "Your technique is so skillful, do you really like hot pot that much?"
Jiang Yumeng nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's economical and affordable, and the quantity is generous, enough to fill you up."
Gu Fan: ...That seems to be the case.
He glanced at the condiments in the bowl; that splash of red looked really appealing.
He swallowed hard.
Gu Fan can't eat spicy food, not because he's physically weak, but because he doesn't have the habit of eating spicy food.
Of course, he liked to eat spicy strips when he was a child, but as everyone knows, spicy strips are not the same as chili peppers.
However, seeing the girl's expectant eyes, he ultimately did not refuse.
Soon, the ingredients in the pot were cooked. Gu Fan picked up a small hot dog and put it in the girl's bowl.
"Here, have a sausage."
"Thank you, senior (｀?ω?′)ゞ"
"Ugh, it's so hot, and so big, I can't eat it."
As soon as she put the hot dog in her mouth, Jiang Yumeng frowned slightly.
Her soft, sweet voice was like a magical sound, stirring up all sorts of fantasies.
Gu Fan blushed, and said with a wry smile, "Who told you to swallow the whole thing?"
Jiang Yumeng sniffed with her cute little nose, blew a few breaths, and then bit down again.
The meal was... very enjoyable!
Gu Fan felt both hot and spicy, constantly gulping in air, sweat trickling down his face.
Seeing this, Jiang Yumeng couldn't bear it any longer and gently took out a tissue to wipe his sweat.
"Senior, can't you eat spicy food?"
At this moment, Jiang Yumeng also realized this and felt somewhat guilty.
The senior must have been considering his own feelings when he forced himself to eat it.
It's all my fault; I subconsciously made the seasonings according to my own taste.
After wiping the sweat from his face, Gu Fan took a few deep breaths and felt a little better.
His face was burning from the spiciness.
"It's alright, I'm not used to eating spicy food."
Sorry (╥﹏╥)
"fine."
After finishing his meal at Haidilao, a pile of tissues had accumulated on the table in front of Gu Fan.
Luckily, there was a fan at their spot, otherwise Gu Fan would have looked like he had just been pulled out of the water.
In contrast, Jiang Yumeng ate the same food as Gu Fan, but she didn't change her expression and looked satisfied.
Is this girl really able to handle spicy food?
While Gu Fan was resting, Jiang Yumeng happily went to pay the bill.
By the time Gu Fan realized it, it was too late to stop her. When she returned, he said, "I'll transfer the money to you later."
Jiang Yumeng quickly shook her head: "No need, no need. Senior just bought me a dress. Consider this meal on my behalf. In fact, you're the one who's losing out!"
The dress cost 700, while this set meal for two only cost 399.
Gu Fan wanted to say something more, but he was persuaded by Jiang Yumeng's firm attitude.
After finishing their meal, the two went shopping again.
Fortunately, in the afternoon, the sun seemed to be ambushed and hid behind the clouds, and the sky gradually darkened.
"Is it going to rain?"
"The weather forecast did predict rain this afternoon."
Gu Fan looked at Jiang Yumeng and said, "How about we go back?"
Jiang Yumeng said somewhat reluctantly, "But I haven't had enough shopping yet."
It was a rare opportunity to hang out with her senior alone, and she didn't want to go back so soon.
"Don't worry, we have umbrellas!"
She comforted him in this way.
Seeing this, Gu Fan did not refuse and asked, "Where do we go next?"
Jiang Yumeng thought for a moment, glanced around, and suddenly her eyes lit up. "I...I want to go there."
Gu Fan looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a pavilion not far away. The retro decorations were quite eye-catching, and many people were hiding from the sun there.
However, due to the overcast weather, those who were still resting in the pavilion began to leave.
Gu Fan nodded and walked into the pavilion with Jiang Yumeng, where they found a place to sit down.
"Phew, I'm so tired!"
After sitting down, Jiang Yumeng patted her thigh with her small hands.
Gu Fan's lips twitched.
You actually know what tiredness is? I thought girls never felt tired when shopping.
To be honest, Gu Fan was also a little tired after walking for so long.
"Senior, let's take a break. If it rains, we can take shelter here."
Jiang Yumeng said in a sweet voice.
"Okay, if you're sleepy, you can take a nap."
Looking at the weariness on her face, Gu Fan felt a pang of heartache.
"OK…"
Sure enough, Jiang Yumeng fell asleep within minutes.
It seemed that Gu Fan's presence made her feel safe, and coupled with her already tired state, drowsiness overwhelmed her, and she fell asleep without hesitation.
Gu Fan also noticed this. He saw the girl leaning against the wall to sleep, her little head moving restlessly from side to side, as if she was about to fall to the side at any moment.
