Hearing his words, the young man did not get angry. Instead, he turned his eyes slightly and asked curiously, "What role did you get?"

Upon hearing this, Song Yingshi's expression froze slightly.

...What role is he playing? Is he going to say that he is Shen You's ex-fiancé? The thought that just popped into my mind made me feel embarrassed.

Xie Chenxiao smiled: "Joker?"

Seeing the sarcasm in his eyes, the smile on Song Yingshi's face disappeared instantly.

Since they had reserved a seat in advance, after Xie Chenxiao told the waiter his name, the two of them were led to the private room.

Song Yingshi followed closely, but was eventually blocked outside the box.

Facing the waiter's awkward but polite smile, Song Yingshi said, "Please arrange a private room for me, right next to them, thank you."

The waiter hesitated and asked, "Does this gentleman have a reservation?"

Song Yingshi pursed his lips: "No."

"Are you alone, sir?"

Everyone could see that he followed them into the restaurant, and now the waiter asked this, Song Yingshi felt that she was asking even though she knew the answer.

There was impatience between his brows, "Yes."

"Sir, if you are dining alone, I suggest you sit outside..."

Before the waiter could finish his words, he saw the young man's face darken suddenly, and hurriedly explained: "It is the peak dining period now, and the private rooms have been reserved in advance. In addition, our restaurant has a minimum consumption requirement for private rooms. If you come to dine alone without a reservation in advance, we will not be able to arrange a private room."

Song Yingshi did not give up and asked the waiter to call the manager. However, the manager also rejected his request on the grounds that there were too many people at dinner time and all the private rooms were full.

He had no choice but to compromise and sat at an empty table in a corner that he had finally cleared, waiting for the two to come out without enjoying his food.

Inside the box, Shen You heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Song Yingshi couldn't come in.

It’s so scary! I thought I was going to have dinner with Song Yingshi.

Although he did not follow, the two people in the box heard the noise outside the door clearly.

Realizing that Song Yingshi had not left, Shen You no longer had the mood to look at the menu carefully. After a quick glance, he threw the task of ordering to Xie Chenxiao.

"You order the food. I can eat anything."

He took the menu and said with a smile, "Okay, let me take a look."

The boy took in her slightly anxious reaction, but did not point it out. He flipped through the menu slowly, "Egg yolk chicken wings..."

[Okay, okay, how bad can egg yolk chicken wings be? ]

Xie Chenxiao nodded and continued, "Celery and shrimp fried eggs..."

[Shrimp and scrambled eggs are OK, but celery is terrible! ]

Shen You frowned slightly and was about to speak when he heard Xie Chenxiao turn around and ask the waiter: "Excuse me, can the celery be replaced with other vegetables?"

Without hearing Shen You's objection, Xie Chenxiao nodded, "Okay, let's change it to broccoli."

Shen You was surprised: "You don't like celery either?"

Xie Chenxiao smiled but said nothing.

…

Although it was Xie Chenxiao who ordered all the dishes, when they were finally served on the table, there was not a single dish that Shen You didn't like.

Thinking of Song Yingshi who was eyeing her covetously outside, she originally planned to end the battle quickly, fill her stomach quickly, and then retreat quickly, change her position, and find a way to get rid of Song Yingshi. She didn't believe that he could follow her everywhere.

The person sitting opposite him had only eaten one-third of his meal, and Shen You's bowl was already empty.

"Don't worry," Xie Chenxiao said helplessly, "Song Yingshi won't be able to wait for us to get out, and will leave soon."

Hearing his confident tone, Shen You looked suspicious: "Are you sure?"

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"I am sure."

Xie Chenxiao used the serving chopsticks to pick up the last chicken wing on the plate and put it into Shen You's bowl. "Eat it with confidence."

Seeing how calm he was, Shen You was no longer anxious and ate at full speed. He ate until he was 90% full at the last meal and couldn't help burping several times. -After the two of them came out after eating and drinking, Song Yingshi really didn't show up again.

Hearing that there was a large pet market nearby, they decided to go for a look, following the navigation and taking a walk to digest their food.

There are quite a lot of people in the pet market at this moment. There are stalls selling all kinds of animals, including fish, parrots, hamsters, turtles and rabbits. Of course, the most popular ones are kittens and puppies.

Some stalls are smaller, probably where families bring out their newborn kittens or puppies to sell; some stalls are larger, selling a wider variety of animal cubs.

Looking around, I feel dazzled and don’t know which store to visit first.

Shen You noticed that Xie Chenxiao suddenly stopped talking, so he looked in the direction of his gaze and saw a man standing in front of a few Border Collie puppies in a larger stall, looking at and teasing them, and talking to the owner from time to time, probably asking about the price or something like that.

Shen You noticed that one of the cubs was struggling in the man's hands and trying to run away. It was obviously unwilling to be caught by him, but the man insisted on teasing it. Every time it ran away, he would quickly reach out and grab it back, and carefully examine its limbs, ears, teeth and other parts.

Another Border Collie puppy next to him seemed to be looking forward to interacting with the man. It looked at him eagerly, and from time to time it would come over to touch him, wagging its tail happily. But the man had no interest in it and never interacted with it. In fact, every time it came over to him, he would push it away impatiently as if it was in the way.

Suddenly, Shen You heard the young man sneer.

She raised her eyes in confusion, but Xie Chenxiao didn't look at her. He asked thoughtfully, "Shen You, have you ever thought about becoming another person?"

As if afraid that she didn't understand what he meant, he explained, "Just like the little Border Collie that was despised, maybe it is thinking now, if it could become the Border Collie in that man's hand, that would be great. Or, if it could be like that Border Collie, or even look better than that Border Collie, then it would be the one that was chosen."

At the end of his speech, the boy's voice became lower and lower. I don't know if it was Shen You's illusion, but he sounded a little lonely.

After a pause, seeing that Shen You didn't answer, Xie Chenxiao continued to talk to himself: "Forget it, just treat it as my nonsense."

She was spoiled by the Shen family when she grew up. Even when her identity as a fake daughter was exposed, the Shen family's attitude towards her remained the same. How could such a person who was rich in both material and spiritual aspects ever think of becoming someone else? "Let me tell you a story," Shen You did not answer his question immediately. He blinked and smiled, "This is a story about an apple tree and a cherry tree."
