Yan Hongzhe stared at Shulan with fascination. He suddenly found this girl very interesting. He had a brilliant mind, but he was useless at everything else. Shulan, on the other hand, used her brain to handle other things and lived a wonderful life.
Shulan clapped her hands. She had successfully transformed the dresser into a cabinet with a vintage feel but a low-key exterior color, and even made a bookshelf for Yan Hongzhe.
"I didn't even realize it was getting dark," Shulan said, picking up her bag to leave.
Yan Hongzhe grabbed her arm. "Shulan."
"Huh?" Shulan looked up at him. Yan Hongzhe was very tall, and Shulan had some difficulty seeing him.
Yan Hongzhe pursed his lips. "Shall we have dinner together tonight?"
Shulan's cheeks flushed slightly. His purpose in inviting her to dinner was obvious. To be honest, Shulan really liked Yan Hongzhe. She couldn't help it; she was attracted to good-looking men. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so attracted to scumbags.
Yan Hongzhe is handsome, which meets Shulan's requirements for a partner.
He was still a bookworm. Shulan didn't do well in school and admired those who did. A top student like Yan Hongzhe had a natural attraction for her. Shulan blushed but didn't hesitate and nodded happily.
“Great! I know a restaurant that’s really good! You’ve definitely never been there! Shall we go eat together?” Shulan knew a lot about restaurants in Beijing and knew where to eat and have fun. She knew she couldn’t let Yan Hongzhe decide where to eat, so she simply suggested a place herself.
Yan Hongzhe nodded. He liked Shulan making decisions on such trivial matters because he didn't want to spend time thinking about simple things like eating.
Dinner was pleasant. Shulan told him that the red wine here was delicious, so the two opened a bottle and paired it with meat. Indeed, it was completely different from the fast food that Yan Hongzhe usually ate.
Yan Hongzhe comes from a wealthy family, but he doesn't care about what he eats, wears, or uses in his daily life. There is someone who arranges these things for him and is willing to share with him, chattering on and on. Although it is noisy, it is also interesting.
“This restaurant is really good. Will we come here often in the future?” Yan Hongzhe said naturally.
Shulan's cheeks flushed. She realized that Yan Hongzhe was someone who always said sweet nothings without realizing it.
Doesn't this mean he's officially in a relationship?
He didn't even hesitate; his naturalness made Shulan, a seasoned player in love, feel inferior.
"Okay, when you have time."
Shulan thought Yan Hongzhe was just being polite, but Yan Hongzhe actually took her to eat at the restaurant seven times in a row. On the eighth time, when Yan Hongzhe wanted to take Shulan to the same restaurant again, Shulan refused him firmly.
"Actually, there are many good restaurants in Beijing, why don't we go to another one?"
Yan Hongzhe pushed up his glasses. "Then which one do you suggest?"
Shulan was certain that he didn't have any particular fondness for this restaurant; he just thought it was nice and convenient, saving him the trouble of choosing a restaurant. He probably didn't care much about the food, so he was willing to try the same dishes again and again.
Fortunately, Yan Hongzhe listened to advice, and Shu Lan directly told him which restaurant she wanted to eat at and pulled him there. The food at this restaurant was also good, and since their tastes were similar, Yan Hongzhe liked all the restaurants that Shu Lan recommended.
Shulan, at her age, wasn't the kind of girl who would be pretentious. She knew Yan Hongzhe's personality; he would just state his needs directly.
"Shall we go see a movie?"
"Shall we go ice skating?"
"Shall we go to an art exhibition?"
Yan Hongzhe would never refuse if Shulan brought it up, but if she didn't take the initiative, he often wouldn't know to plan a date.
No one is perfect. Fortunately, Shulan likes Yan Hongzhe's personality. He is a person with aspirations, but these aspirations are not in his daily life. Shulan, on the other hand, is someone who can make life wonderful.
Shulan fell in love. Although the two hadn't held hands or kissed yet, Shulan still felt that she was in love.
After finishing their meal and leaving the Russian restaurant, Shulan smiled and said, "This restaurant was pretty good. We can come here often next time. What do you think?"
"This restaurant is number three on my list."
Shulan was taken aback. "Which companies are first and second?"
Yan Hongzhe named two restaurants, both of which Shu Lan had taken him to. Although he wasn't proactive, he genuinely appreciated every restaurant she recommended and provided feedback on each one.
Who can say that he doesn't provide emotional value?
At least none of Shulan's ex-boyfriends cared about recommending her. Yan Hongzhe may not seem proactive, but he takes her emotional needs seriously. He faces problems head-on and doesn't run away from them.
This man is handsome, and Shulan likes him more and more.
Shulan smiled, wanting to kiss him, but they had just finished eating and hadn't brushed their teeth yet.
Since tomorrow is the weekend, Shulan asked, "Are you going to work overtime tomorrow?"
In the past, overtime was a must, but Yan Hongzhe discovered that there were more fun things to do than working overtime.
"No overtime. Even if I have to work overtime, I can take it home to do, as long as I have a computer."
"How about we read books together? I just found two really good novels. After we finish reading, I'll cook for you?"
Yan Hongzhe laughed happily, "I'll help you out and I'll be in charge of washing the dishes!"
"Then it's settled. I'll come to your house tomorrow!" Shulan smiled.
Two adults experienced the joy of being in love.
The next morning, Deng Fangping came over again and started nagging Shulan, wanting her to get married and have children soon. Shulan waved her hand, but Deng Fangping, seeing her impatience, grabbed her.
Where are you going?
"Didn't you tell me to get married and have children soon? I'm just listening to you and dating a man right now!" Shulan smiled at Deng Fangping. "Don't worry, this time it will definitely work out! If it does, we'll get married this year and have children next year. I guarantee it'll be as fast as a rocket."
Deng Fangping chuckled, "Don't these young ladies know how to be shy?"
"What's the use of being shy? Will being shy help me find a boyfriend? When you meet a good man, you have to go for it. Women can't just sit around and wait for someone to come to them."
Shulan took the initiative and bought fresh fish, shrimp, and abalone, as well as some beef and vegetables, before going to find Yan Hongzhe. Yan Hongzhe was reading a book when he heard Shulan knocking on the door, so he opened it.
Shulan was wearing a coffee-colored short skirt. She seemed to have many outfits, each one unique. Yan Hongzhe suddenly realized that he had been paying too much attention to this girl since their first meeting.
He never cared what others wore, nor did he remember anything special about the women around him, but he remembered every single piece of clothing Shulan wore.
Yan Hongzhe was wearing a black turtleneck sweater. He stepped aside to let Shulan in.
When Shulan changed her shoes, she noticed a pair of pink fluffy slippers in the house. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you have any girls' shoes?"
Yan Hongzhe smiled and said, "I went to buy it specifically last night."
Shulan was delighted and took the groceries to the kitchen to get busy.
Shulan can cook; she can cook cuisines from all over the world. This is thanks to her long-term single life. She always needs to find something to do to pass the time, so she often enrolls in short courses to fill her time.
