Zhang Yiling leaned closely against Zhou Yiyang. Like most people on the street, she covered her smiling face with a scarf, leaving only a pair of curious eyes looking around.
Zhou Yiyang was much more indifferent. He just wanted to get into the restaurant quickly.
It’s too cold outside!
"Hello, sir," the waiter smiled politely upon seeing Zhou Yiyang, "Please show me your reservation code."
Then Zhou Yiyang and Zhang Yiling sat down in the restaurant under the guidance of the waiter.
"How does it feel?" After Zhou Yiyang sat in the warm private room, he couldn't wait to take off the scarf around his neck and then stretched.
"It's pretty good." Zhang Yiling hummed softly, "It's very elegant. I think it will taste good."
"So, what are your plans for the next few days?" Zhou Yiyang asked. "I might go to Bai Yangyu's hometown on the fifth day of the New Year. I can accompany you to visit Shencheng in the few days before that. Of course, if you want to go somewhere else, that's fine too."
Zhang Yiling actually had no plans in her mind. She couldn't even explain why she wanted to return to China so much.
Only after Zhou Yiyang asked her this question did Zhang Yiling start to think seriously: "Is Brother Bai getting married? I remember he seemed to have posted about it on WeChat Moments. Can I go with him, even though he didn't even invite me?"
"Sure, I think he'd be very happy." Zhou Yiyang wasn't being polite. He felt that for most Chinese people, the more people who came to a wedding, the better. "He didn't invite you because he probably thought you couldn't have flown back from Australia. He'd probably be surprised when he saw you."
At this moment, Bai Yangyu, who had returned to his hometown to accompany his parents, sneezed and was teased by his relatives and friends for being too nervous.
"Of course I'm nervous." Bai Yangyu said seriously, "Guan Fei is such a good person, and she's willing to marry me. This wedding must be a perfect one, and there can't be any mistakes!"
…
Zhang Yiling's eyes lit up: "Then I'll go with you on the fifth day of the new year! We should stay in Shencheng for the next few days."
Zhou Yiyang couldn't help but express his joy: "That's great. I mean, it's too cold today, and I really don't want to run around."
"I know." Zhang Yiling raised her lips and said, "We can watch a movie. Oh, and I've learned how to cook now!"
"Impossible?" In Zhou Yiyang's memory, Zhang Yiling was still the rebellious girl he had first met. She was supposed to be someone who couldn't even cook instant noodles.
"Brother Yang, you're underestimating me again." Zhang Yiling raised her lips and gave herself a thumbs-up, as if to express how amazing she was. "I really know a lot! I recently discovered that cooking is really fun, and I even signed up for a cooking class."
Zhou Yiyang came back to his senses: "Wait, then the cooking class you took in Australia should have taught you all about Western cuisine, right?"
At this time, Zhang Yiling nodded without hesitation: "Of course, Brother Yang, I can make you a dessert after dinner. As for the main course, we can order takeout!"
Zhou Yiyang always thought it was silly to order takeout for dinner and then cook dessert himself. Suddenly, an absurd idea came to him:
"Maybe we could cook together."
"Okay!" Before Zhou Yiyang could regret it, Zhang Yiling had already agreed with a smile: "That sounds very interesting!"
Zhou Yiyang, unable to regret, could only console himself by thinking that at least Zhang Yiling was also a half-baked person. Even if he acted like he knew nothing in front of her, Zhang Yiling probably wouldn't laugh at him.
But Wang Xingrui is different. The contrast between them is too obvious.
Their conversation was interrupted by the waiter serving the first dish.
"Try it first, it should be very good."
Zhang Yiling hummed, and then she gently scooped a spoonful into her mouth. A moment later, an expression of surprise appeared on her face.
The dish looked ordinary, but its taste was far beyond her imagination.
"It's so delicious!" Zhang Yiling said excitedly.
After all the dishes were served, Zhang Yiling picked out her favorite. "This squirrel mandarin fish is my favorite today! It's sour and sweet, and not fishy at all. It's so delicious! Brother Yang, let's try to replicate it tomorrow!"
"Are you sure?" Zhou Yiyang showed an embarrassment. "I don't think our cooking skills can challenge it."
However, Zhang Yiling said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter if I fail. It's just like playing a game. It's okay if you fail to complete a level. As long as the process is fun, that's all that matters."
"Okay." Zhou Yiyang discovered that Zhang Yiling and he had two completely different personalities. He was more conservative and cautious, while Zhang Yiling was lively and imaginative.
In her world, there is probably nothing that cannot be tried.
Just as they finished their meal and Zhou Yiyang was racking his brains to think about the next arrangements, Zhang Yiling had an idea:
"Let's go to the amusement park. I saw tickets for the night show online!"
Zhou Yiyang almost subconsciously said what he was thinking: "But there are so many people in the amusement park, we will be recognized..."
Finally, he realized that Zhang Yiling was not one of the four members of Moonlight Girls, so she didn't need to worry about being exposed.
"Do you really want to go to the amusement park?" Zhou Yiyang asked again, "There will definitely be a lot of people lining up, which will be very boring."
"Just try it once! I've never been to an amusement park during Spring Festival! Even if there's a queue, it's still fun!" Zhang Yiling chuckled, "And we can even buy fast-track tickets!"
"Okay," Zhou Yiyang agreed. He found that Zhang Yiling was quite helpful in saving him money. "Then I'll buy the tickets."
"No need, I've already bought it!" Zhang Yiling proudly raised her phone: "Brother Yang, don't forget, I'm also a small rich woman!"
"Well, then thank you rich lady for supporting an old man like me." Zhou Yiyang joked.
When they got downstairs, they didn't expect that it was snowing.
Just when Zhou Yiyang was about to call a taxi, he didn't expect Zhang Yiling to grab his hand and rush out.
She jumped around like most people on the street, catching the flying snowflakes with her hands, and then blew them onto Zhou Yiyang's face:
"You are an old man with a white beard now!"
"Really?" Zhou Yiyang was amused by her and immediately chased after Zhang Yiling: "Then be careful not to get caught by me, or I will turn you into the White-Haired Girl in no time."
This time there were no reporters or flash cameras around, and everyone was enjoying the sudden snowfall.
