ice cream
Lin Luo washed her hands, and when she came back, their meal was served. Another table of guests arrived, and they also ordered noodles with soybean paste, and their meal was served quickly as well.
“It tastes so bad!”
"No wonder there are so few people in this store!"
"Just eat a couple of bites and go!"
There was no more sound coming from the other end. Lin Luo saw Fu Xingchuan frown after taking two bites and asked him, "Is it not tasty? I'm sorry! I've never been here before and didn't know it would taste like this."
Lin Luo's heart was in her throat, and she heaved a sigh of relief when she heard him say, "It's comparable to what they have in the cafeteria, but I'm not picky."
Lin Xiao thought that he had come out because he didn't want to eat the food in the cafeteria, but he ended up eating something terrible. He felt a little guilty. Fu Xingchuan seemed to see what she was thinking. "Didn't you say it depends on who you eat with? It doesn't seem so bad when I eat with you."
Her hands trembled and she stared at him, "Didn't you say there was no difference?"
Fu Xingchuan continued, "That's the only way I can comfort myself."
"oh."
Not wanting to waste the food, they ate it all. Lin Qie had just used the little money she had on soda. Fu Xingchuan went to pay the bill and asked her to wait for him at the door.
Lin Luo didn't leave. Instead, she carefully looked around the store, walked up to the counter, and said to the owner, "Hello, boss! Can I make a suggestion?"
"Okay." The boss nodded, and Fu Xingchuan also turned his head to look at her.
"The sauce for the noodles is a bit sweet and greasy. If it can be improved, it will probably attract more customers."
"Okay, thank you." The boss said politely. Lin Luo smiled at her and walked out of the store with Fu Xingchuan.
Without waiting for Fu Xingchuan to ask, she said directly: "My father started his business from scratch and succeeded. Although he is facing some difficulties now, he once told me that when he promotes his products, what he hopes most to get is user feedback."
"Well done," he said seriously.
Lin Luo was overjoyed to be praised by him.
"Fu Xingchuan!" Ruan Ye saw them from a distance and waved at him.
Fu Xingchuan frowned and said to Lin Luo, "If you eat with someone like this, no matter how delicious the food is, it will be hard to swallow."
Lin Luo smiled with her eyes curved. Fu Xingchuan felt inexplicably nauseous when he saw Ruan Ye coming towards him.
"What's up?"
"Nothing else, let's go home together!"
"Am I very familiar with you?" Fu Xingchuan put his hands in his pockets, his face slightly gloomy.
Ruan Ye said in a gentle voice: "Cheng Kaizhong had something to talk to me about in the afternoon, so I didn't go to move the table."
"What does it have to do with me whether you move or not?" His tone became increasingly impatient.
"Isn't that what makes you angry?"
He chuckled, "Why would I be mad at you?"
Lin Luo glanced at Fu Xingchuan. He was indeed angry, and it was clearly written on his face. She remembered that Ruan Ye was very skilled at smoking and hid it very well. She wondered if he would fight. If the two of them fought, who would win?
It would be better not to let them fight, so she interrupted their heated conversation and said, "The bus is here, let's go!"
There were a lot of people on the bus, there were no empty seats, and people were standing shoulder to shoulder.
Lin Luo couldn't stand steadily and accidentally bumped into Ruan Ye with her hand. She immediately apologized: "I'm sorry."
Ruan Ye glanced at her, took a few steps back to create some distance between them, just enough to make room for Fu Xingchuan. He walked over, holding onto the railing next to Lin Luo, and circled her.
Lin Luo tried hard to balance herself, but she still staggered accidentally, and her back hit Fu Xingchuan's chest. She whispered softly, "I'm sorry."
The carriage was noisy and he couldn't hear clearly, so he lowered his head and asked, "What did you say?"
Sensing his presence, Lin Luo's face flushed rapidly. Arriving at Changlin Station, Lin Luo stammered incoherently, "Get off... to... let's go."
After getting off the car, Tang Muchen suddenly appeared with a small schoolbag on his back and called her, "Sister."
He ran over and shouted, "Sister, sister."
When he saw Ruan Ye, he also called out, "Brother Ruan Ye."
Fu Xingchuan came down and heard Tang Muchen's words. When he met his gaze, he quickly avoided his gaze and hugged Lin Luo's thigh.
Fu Xingchuan walked over and said, "Little ghost, why didn't you call me?"
Tang Muchen was afraid of him and hid behind Lin Luo. She calmed down and said to him, "Don't be rude. Call...Xingchuan brother."
After Lin Luo finished speaking, she felt her ears turning red.
Tang Muchen stuck his head out and called him awkwardly.
Fu Xingchuan looked at Tang Muchen with gentle eyes and a smile showing his teeth, and a small bracket appeared on his face.
Lin Luo was mesmerized by what she saw.
"Sister, sister." Tang Muchen shook her and woke her up again. "What's wrong?"
"I want to eat ice cream, can you buy it for me?" he said coquettishly.
Lin Luo remembered Tong Yun's words. Tang Muchen was not clinging to her at all, he was just clinging to her wallet.
"What should I do? I don't have any money on me." Lin Luo pinched his little face.
Tang Muchen's face immediately turned gloomy. Upon hearing this, Fu Xingchuan took out his wallet from his pocket, took out a twenty-dollar bill and gave it to him, saying generously, "I'll treat you."
Tang Muchen didn't dare to take it. He glanced at Lin Luo, who said to Fu Xingchuan, "You don't have to give him so much."
"There's nothing else."
Lin Luo glanced at his wallet, which was full of red banknotes. This twenty-dollar bill was the change he had just received when he paid for food. He was indeed a young master.
Tang Muchen looked at her expectantly, so she had no choice but to say, "Then thank you, Brother Xingchuan!"
Tang Muchen thanked Fu Xingchuan and took the money. Fu Xingchuan still smiled brightly and became closer. Tang Muchen was not so afraid of him anymore.
"Sister, come with me." Tang Muchen pulled her to go to the convenience store. Lin Luo turned around and found Ruan Ye standing behind her, which scared her. He didn't say anything, so she thought he had left a long time ago.
"Ruan Ye, would you like some ice cream?" she asked politely, thinking that Ruan Ye didn't like sweet things and would definitely refuse.
But he nodded.
She was about to leave when Fu Xingchuan stopped her, like a child throwing a tantrum, "Why didn't you ask me if I wanted to eat? This is my money."
"Will you eat it?" Lin Luo asked in a gentle voice.
Fu Xingchuan snorted lightly, "I don't want to eat it."
"..." Lin Luo didn't understand why he was angry. He was quite prone to anger, but he was still as handsome and charming when he was angry.
"Oh." She smiled and took Tang Muchen's hand to buy ice cream.
Only Fu Xingchuan and Ruan Ye were left in the alley. Fu Xingchuan looked at him and couldn't figure out what tricks he was playing. Could it be that he wanted to be friends with him and let him down so that he could beat him in the next competition?
Ruan Ye seemed to have something to say, but Fu Xingchuan lowered his lips and said in a cold and hard voice, "If you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush. I won't participate in the competition anymore. Don't bother me anymore."
"Okay..." Fu Xingchuan was a little bit unconvinced that he agreed so easily, but then he heard him call out seriously, "Brother Xingchuan."
Fu Xingchuan was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Get away from me."
What happened? He opened it the wrong way. Ruan Ye wanted to try again, but a car stopped at the alley entrance. Zhu Sui'an got out, and a well-dressed young man followed him out. They greeted Fu Xingchuan, "Brother Chuan, long time no see."
The Zhong family and the Fu family have always been partners. Fu Xingchuan was taught golf by Uncle Zhong himself, but he is not very familiar with Uncle Zhong's son, the peacock Zhong Qing in front of him.
He asked, "Is Uncle Zhong okay?"
"Yeah, still alive." Zhong Qing took off his sunglasses and looked at the unfamiliar figure next to him. Ruan Ye stared at him intently.
Zhu Sui'an walked in front of Fu Xingchuan. She was wearing full makeup today, a pink short skirt, a belly-baring top, and a pair of sunglasses on her head. If you didn't know, you would think the two were competing for beauty!
"Why are you together?" Fu Xingchuan asked.
Zhu Sui'an didn't hide anything and said directly, "We are together."
"Oh." Fu Xingchuan did not show any surprise, but Ruan Ye's face beside him became more and more ugly. He noticed that an idea suddenly popped up in his mind and he wanted to confirm it.
He introduced to Zhong Qing: "This is Ruan Ye, my friend."
The last few words came out of his mouth stiffly. When Zhong Qing heard this, he stretched out his hand to shake hands with Ruan Ye.
"Hello, my name is Zhong Qing."
"Ruan Ye." He said as he held Zhong Qing's hand, not letting go for a long time, and even squeezed his hand tightly.
Zhong Qing wanted to save face and pretended to be calm and not in pain, but Fu Xingchuan noticed the red marks on his hands, so he must have guessed correctly.
He finally understood what this guy was planning.
Zhu Sui'an was curious, "Aren't you two incompatible? How did you become friends?"
Hearing her voice, Ruan Ye's eyes turned slightly. Seeing his behavior, Fu Xingchuan couldn't help laughing. "Didn't you say that although he looks cold on the outside, he might be very kind on the inside? I suddenly feel the same way."
Zhu Sui'an didn't remember saying this. He just said, "I see!" and then said to Zhong Qing, "Go away! I don't plan to keep you for dinner."
Zhong Qing had no intention of staying. Before he left, he approached Zhu Sui'an and seemed to want to kiss her, but she pushed him away in disgust. She glanced at Zhong Qing, as if to remind her that Fu Xingchuan was still there!
Zhong Qing smiled awkwardly, "Then Brother Chuan, I'll leave first."
"Yeah." Fu Xingchuan looked at Ruan Ye's clenched fists and replied lightly.
Zhu Sui'an glanced at Ruan Ye. She was a little afraid of him, and didn't dare meet his gaze. She saw Lin Luo coming out of the store with a little brother behind them, so she called out, "Lin Luo."
Lin Luo waved to her.
"Sister, I'm going to play with the other kids." Tang Muchen said sweetly as he scooped chocolate ice cream into his mouth with a spoon.
"Go ahead, don't play too late, go home early."
"Okay." Tang Muchen ran away. Lin Qiao walked towards Zhu Sui'an and asked her, "Sui'an, do you want some ice cream?"
"Thank you." Zhu Sui'an picked a strawberry-flavored popsicle. Lin Luo handed the bag to Ruan Ye, and he also took a strawberry-flavored one.
He has a very unique taste. Lin Luo watched him tear open the package and felt that pink suited him quite well. The bright color neutralized his inherent cool tones.
"What about mine?"
Lin Luo looked at Fu Xingchuan, and Zhu Sui'an spoke first, "Don't you not eat sweets?"
"Is it not okay if I suddenly want to eat?"
"Okay." As she said that, she noticed Ruan Ye looking at her straight in the eyes, and her teeth knocked against the popsicle, giving her a chill.
"Of course." Lin opened the bag and let him choose. "There are chocolate, red bean, mango, watermelon, and milk. Which one do you want?"
She didn't know what flavor he liked, so she bought one of each.
Fu Xingchuan picked one up at random, and Lin Luo also opened one and ate it herself.
The four of them walked into the alley together. Zhu Sui'an walked beside Fu Xingchuan and asked him, "Where are you wandering this year?"
"I'm not going out."
Lin Luo took a bite of the ice cream. It had a smoothie texture and a strong mango flavor. It was refreshing and made her feel happy.
"That's really strange. What are you going to do?"
"study."
"You're already number one and you're still studying. Are you going to let others live?" Zhu Sui'an joked. "If the second place winner knew about this, he would definitely curse you behind your back."
Fu Xingchuan glanced at the second-place winner. Ruan Ye's popsicle had melted, leaving his hand stained with sugary liquid. He looked very embarrassed. Fu Xingchuan pulled out a pack of tissues from his pocket, took one, and threw the rest to him. He said disdainfully, "Even if I don't learn from the second-place winner, he can't surpass me, and he doesn't dare to scold me now."
Why? How could he be so sure? Lin Qi was puzzled. Fu Xingchuan handed her a piece of paper and continued, "Besides, I want to be the provincial champion. Others are working hard, so I can't slack off."
Zhu Sui'an applauded him, "Well done, you have great ambitions. Our family is counting on you to bring honor to us."
Lin Luo wiped her mouth with a tissue and smelled the faint fragrance from the paper. She covered her mouth and smiled secretly.
"I remember Ruan Ye wanted to give you extra lessons, right?" He mentioned it casually. Lin Luo put her hand down and said, "Yes."
"I also want to tutor Zhu Changyu. Why don't you just come to our house and study together? Supervising each other might improve efficiency."
"Okay!" Lin Luo was very happy and looked at Ruan Ye, "What do you think?"
"Can."
Fu Xingchuan glared at him. What opinion could he have? He must be secretly happy in his heart!
"What about you? Do you mind?" Fu Xingchuan asked Zhu Sui'an.
Zhu Sui'an reached out and touched Fu Xingchuan's head, "Sister, of course, strongly supports you."
"I have to search online for what families with high school seniors should do, set up some rules, and make sure that grandparents strictly follow them." She said like a little adult.
"I'll be thankful if you don't cause more trouble." Fu Xingchuan said in a doting tone.
"Oh! There are words on this stick!" She was surprised and showed it to them. "The best person is right beside you."
"What are yours?"
Lin Xiao hurriedly took the last bite and saw the words on it: [If someone doesn't like you, give up as soon as possible.]
The ice in her mouth slowly melted, and she suddenly felt a chill all over her body.
Seeing that Lin Luo didn't say anything, Fu Xingchuan glanced at her stick. After seeing the words on it clearly, he thought that this thing was really magical. He looked at his own and found that the words were exactly the same. What a joke.
"If you don't like someone, just give up on them." Zhu Sui'an looked through the whole thing and lost interest. "You three all said the same thing. You must have been produced in the same batch."
Fu Xingchuan threw the stick into the trash can, and Lin Luo held it in her palm with paper.
