Volume 1, Chapter 61: As expected of a knowledgeable professor of archaeology!
The man restrained himself and kissed the top of her soft head. His voice was a little hoarse, "I owe you the money first, and I'll ask you for it later."
"……Um."
The hug lasted for a full ten minutes, until Song Xi was about to answer the phone, Shang Fuyan let her go.
As soon as the call was connected, Song Chi's voice came over, "Sister, have you left the office?"
"Not yet, let's have dinner together tonight."
"Besides you and me, who else?"
"And Professor Shang."
"Okay, but you should tell him in advance. Don't target me on purpose. Men need to save face."
Song Xi responded and hung up the phone. Who knows what nonsense her brother can say.
She raised her eyes and met the man's gaze. "Don't give me face. Just treat me as I should."
The man said "OK" with a smile in his eyes.
For the next two hours.
Shang Fuyan was busy arranging and planning the field practice for next week, while Song Xi was sitting on the sofa, reading quietly.
They don't disturb each other, but communicate with each other through eye contact from time to time, silence is louder than words.
Suddenly, there is a feeling that time is peaceful and quiet.
Perhaps many years later, they will still maintain this tacit understanding. Even if the novelty is gone, it will not diminish at all.
Like aged wine, it becomes stronger and stronger with the passage of time.
-
Two hours passed quickly and they left the office and arrived at the parking lot.
Song Chi also rushed over. When he saw the two people, he felt strange, but he couldn't tell why.
He sat in the back seat of the car, observing the two of them stealthily. They looked like a couple, but not really.
After all, his age and status are there. If it really happens, wouldn't it be like an old cow eating young grass?
I dare not even think about it.
The place for dinner was not far from Lantian University. It was a Chinese restaurant that Shang Fuyan had booked in advance.
The classic decoration style attracts many customers to dine in. Even on Fridays, it is always crowded.
Led by the waiter, the three of them walked to the window seat.
Song Chi took the lead in pulling out a chair, wanting Song Xi to sit in it. After all, their relationship was closer, and the professor was just an outsider.
However, what surprised Song Chi greatly was that his sister actually sat with the professor, and Shang Fuyan pulled the chair for her himself.
This is quite intriguing.
I hope... this dinner won't be some Hongmen Banquet.
Song Chi, like Song Xi, is a real foodie. Whenever he sees delicious food, his eyes light up.
Since he was being treated, he ordered dishes generously, "Kung Pao Chicken, Sweet and Sour Fish, Stir-fried Lotus Pond, Braised Lion's Head, Shrimp and Egg Custard, Stir-fried Mango with Beef..."
"No mango fried beef." Song Xi suddenly interrupted Song Chi, "Mangoes can easily cause allergies."
Song Chi looked puzzled, "I'm not allergic, and neither are you. Who can't eat mangoes?"
Shang Fuyan replied, "Light it up."
"Let's try something else." Song Xi flipped through the menu. "Boiled beef, spicy beef, or beef brisket stewed with tomatoes are all fine."
"Since we both eat beef, let's have the Fuqi Feipian. The couple will return home together."
The other two had no objection to this.
As for drinks, Song Chi likes iced cola the most. He asked Song Xi if he wanted to have one too.
Before Song Xi could answer, Shang Fuyan continued, "Give me a cup of warm red bean rice porridge."
Song Chi was surprised, "Professor, you actually like what women drink."
"Why, do you have any objection?"
"Of course not."
Song Chi touched his nose. Did he look like he dared to have any opinion?
If the student disliked the professor, his reputation would be completely ruined if it got out. He would probably get scolded by the Seven Wolves.
Although there were many diners, the serving speed was not slow.
Song Chi was worried that these were pre-prepared dishes, but Shang Fuyan explained that this was not the case. Instead, the owner of the restaurant hired many chefs.
"Professor, how did you know that?"
“This is owned by my friend.”
Song Chi gave Shang Fuyan a thumbs up and said, "Professor, are all the people you know very powerful?"
"Not necessarily."
"for example?"
Shang Fuyan curled his lips and turned to look at Song Xi. Then he retracted his gaze and looked at Song Chi opposite him, "For example, you."
Song Chi's brain short-circuited for a moment, but he quickly reacted and said sarcastically, "As expected of a knowledgeable professor of archaeology!"
Shang Fuyan did not respond to such angry words.
If you retort, you will appear to be very rude.
Besides, he’s my future brother-in-law. I can’t offend him too much, or he won’t be allowed in on the wedding day.
Song Chi was so angry that he lowered his head and ate.
When his eyes fell on the dish that had just been served, his eyes rolled and a good idea came to him!
Song Xi couldn't help but pour cold water on him, "You smiled so sinisterly just now."
Instantly, Song Chi's face fell, "Sister, you and I are a family."
"We're family, so let's not talk about different things. Let's eat quickly and stop making trouble."
Shang Fuyan, who was sitting nearby, felt happy when he saw Song Chi being scolded.
However, Song Chi was not willing to obey and he had to win back the game in front of outsiders.
"Professor, do you know the difference between braised lion's head and four-happiness meatballs?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Song Xi, who was drinking rice porridge with his head down, choked and started coughing non-stop.
Shang Fuyan took out a tissue and handed it to her, then patted her back gently, again and again.
In a few seconds, Song Xi's face turned red.
She took the cup of water he handed her and drank two sips of water before her coughing stopped.
When Song Xi looked across, he couldn't help but feel a little bit resentful.
"Sister, you are so careless. You are so old but still act like a child."
Song Chi continued to ask: "Professor, you don't know the answer to the question just now?"
The man paused for a moment and said slowly, "Red-braised lion's head is a Huaiyang dish, which uses a knife to chop the meat. Four-happiness meatballs are a Shandong dish, symbolizing good fortune, wealth, longevity and happiness."
"So do you like lion's head or four-happiness meatballs?"
Although Shang Fuyan was answering Song Chi's question, he was looking at Song Xi and said, "Of course, Four Happiness Meatballs."
Hearing this, Song Xi couldn't help but give him a coquettish look.
Shang Fuyan had a smile on his lips, and the doting in his eyes could not be hidden.
Song Chi was even more confused when he saw this scene. Just now, the cup that the professor fed her water from was the one he had drunk from.
What does this mean, what does it mean!!!
Looking more closely, the professor actually used his own chopsticks to pick up food for his sister. This is clearly...
The two saw that Song Chi looked thoughtful and did not explain.
Finally, Song Chi seemed to be unable to help himself and looked straight at the two people opposite him, "What is the relationship between you two?"
Shang Fuyan: "Call me brother-in-law."
Song Chi chuckled, "It's a bit early to call now."
Shang Fuyan didn't care and continued to serve the dishes for Song Xi beside him. In Song Chi's eyes, the interaction between the two was like spreading dog food, and if he didn't eat it, it would be forced.
Suddenly, Song Chi felt that the braised lion's head was no longer fragrant, and the husband and wife lung slices were no longer delicious. He felt like an NPC who was brought in to make up the numbers.
Seeing that he was in a daze, Song Xi teased, "Don't stare at us like that. Go back to school after you finish eating."
