Two words.
queue.
Four words.
There are always long queues.
The roadside stall that Jiang Ning likes to eat at happens to be the one with a long queue all year round.
Moreover, tonight's opportunity is rare.
“Sure, I often eat at roadside stalls by myself,” Shen Jingnian said without batting an eye.
"That's great, let's go."
Shen Jingnian took out his car keys from his suit trouser pocket. "I'll go get the car first. You wait for me at the teahouse entrance."
"No." Jiang Ning instinctively grabbed his arm.
"What's wrong?" Shen Jingnian paused awkwardly for a moment, then turned to look at her.
Jiang Ning continued, "It's hard to park over there, let's walk there, it's not far anyway."
“That works too.” Shen Jingnian nodded slightly.
Summer night breeze.
The two walked side by side under the sycamore trees, chatting about something. Jiang Ning chuckled softly, her dimples appearing on her cheeks. Suddenly, Shen Jingnian stopped and his gaze fell on the shared bicycles parked by the roadside.
"Ningning, shall we go for a bike ride?"
"A bicycle?" Jiang Ning asked.
“Yes.” Shen Jingnian nodded slightly.
Jiang Ning shook her head. "I can't ride a bicycle."
Shen Jingnian's thin lips curved slightly, "It's rare to find something you don't know."
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "It seems I'm quite outstanding in Master Shen's eyes!"
“It is excellent.” Shen Jingnian nodded.
Jiang Ning thought this person would tease her a bit, but to her surprise, he played along so well, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
"Ningning, wait for me a moment, I'll go get a car and come over."
"But I can't ride a bike."
“I can do it. There are bikes with back seats over there. I’ll give you a ride,” Shen Jingnian said.
“Okay,” Jiang Ning nodded slightly, “then you can go.”
Shen Jingnian quickly swept the car back.
A little blue car.
He placed one foot on the foot pedal and the other on the ground, glancing sideways at Jiang Ning, "Ningning, get on the bus."
The vehicle was clearly just an ordinary bicycle, but he made it look like a luxury car worth tens of millions!
This is the power of aura.
This is the origin of the saying "a crane stands out from the crowd".
Jiang Ning readily sat in the back seat.
She sat down sideways, holding her phone in one hand and gently supporting the man's lean yet strong waist with the other.
"Hold Ningning steady." Shen Jingnian's voice came from the wind.
Jiang Ning asked with a smile, "Can you ride a bicycle at breakneck speed?"
“Of course!” Shen Jingnian continued, “When I was in school, no one in my class could ride a bike faster than me.”
Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow slightly, "Bragging!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the car suddenly shot forward at high speed, the wind whistling against Jiang Ning's cheeks.
It's very fast.
Jiang Ning immediately hugged his waist to maintain her balance.
That's when I realized he really wasn't bragging!
Feeling the arm encircling his waist, Shen Jingnian's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and boundless power surged between his legs. From an angle that Jiang Ning couldn't see, a beautiful smile curved his lips.
The wind tonight is so sweet.
Following the map's directions, it only took ten minutes to reach the street barbecue stall that Jiang Ning had mentioned.
A queue has already formed.
Jiang Ning got out of the car. "I'll go queue up first. Come find me after you park your car."
"OK."
Watching Jiang Ning's retreating figure, Shen Jingnian's expression was complicated, and he regretted riding so fast just now.
After parking the car, Shen Jingnian jogged over and said, "Ningning, I saw there's an ice cream stand over there. What flavor do you want? I'll go buy it for you."
"Chocolate flavored."
"Okay, wait for me a moment."
Shen Jingnian went over there to buy ice cream.
"Boss, two chocolate flavored ones, please."
"No problem, it'll be 36 yuan in total."
Shen Jingnian took out his phone to scan the QR code.
A little while later, he came back with two ice creams. "Ningning, ice cream."
"Thanks."
The two ate ice cream while waiting in line. The man, who was usually stern, became very talkative in front of her and even made her laugh.
Just then, a leaf fell onto Jiang Ning's hair.
"Ningning, don't move."
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ning asked.
“There’s something on your head.” After saying that, Shen Jingnian reached out to help her remove the fallen leaves from her hair.
As he bent over, a large shadow fell over Jiang Ning, followed by a faint scent of pine wood. It smelled wonderful, and for some reason, Jiang Ning felt as if her heart had lost control in that instant.
Like the sky in June.
The thunder was deafening.
There was also a young couple in the middle of the queue.
The woman looked at Jiang Ning and Shen Jingnian with some envy, then turned to her boyfriend with dissatisfaction, "Look at her boyfriend! Not only is he handsome, but he's also considerate. The girl just asked the shopkeeper for some paper, and he handed it to her right away. He even helped his girlfriend get some leaves!"
"Okay, okay," the boy said impatiently, who was looking down at his phone. "I'll get you leaves from now on too."
"Did I ask you to get me some leaves? Look at you, no matter where we are, all you do is look at your precious phone. I'm not eating! You eat by yourself!" The girl turned and left angrily.
The boy was speechless.
What's wrong with looking at your phone?
Even when he wasn't in a relationship, he was always on his phone.
Girls these days are so sensitive!
They are difficult to please.
Shen Jingnian was stunned. Luckily, he had done his homework beforehand and hadn't looked at his phone in front of Jiang Ning. It seems he needs to study even harder in the future.
It took about ten minutes for two people to get a turn.
Jiang Ning picked up an iron plate and handed it to Shen Jingnian, "Don't be shy, take whatever you want to eat! It's on me today."
"Okay, I promise I won't hold back."
This was Shen Jingnian's first time eating at a roadside stall, and he was a little unsure where to start. It wasn't until someone next to him opened the freezer door and started picking out dishes that he followed suit and began to eat.
"Why are you only taking vegetables?" Jiang Ning put a large handful of meat skewers into the iron plate, then suggested, "The grilled oysters here are pretty good, want to try a few?"
Oysters?!
You see, he hadn't even dared to touch leeks these past few days. Thinking of things he shouldn't have, Shen Jing coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment, "Okay, okay."
For some unknown reason, his face suddenly turned bright red.
The redness went all the way down to the back of her neck.
Even the tips of her ears were red.
"Then let's add ten more oysters." Fortunately, Jiang Ning was busy choosing her favorite dishes and didn't notice Shen Jingnian's unusual behavior.
Yun Haotian and his friend Xu Ziqi were out for a late-night snack when suddenly, Xu Ziqi, sitting in the passenger seat, spotted a familiar figure at a roadside barbecue stall. She was so startled that she stammered, "Holy crap! Brother Yun, look over there, isn't that Ninth Master Chen Chen?!"
