Chapter 28 Late Night Snack
Liu Lan did not stay in the dormitory. She took the subway home alone. Tomorrow she will accompany her mother to face the Wang family.
The subway entrance is quite a walk away from her home. It is also the midnight snack time and all the restaurants on the street are popular.
Liu Lan smelled the fragrance and stopped in front of a Shaxian snack bar.
Yu Zhan was walking his dog passing by here and saw a familiar figure from a distance, standing motionless at the door of Shaxian Snacks. It was such a cold day, but she seemed not to feel the cold wind. She tilted her head and stared at the menu on the window, looking serious and conflicted.
"Didn't you have dinner?"
Yu Zhan's question scared Liu Lan. She turned around and saw a man and a dog standing beside her. She didn't know how long they had been looking at her.
Liu Lan felt really embarrassed, "No, no, I've eaten."
Yu Zhan chuckled, "So you're hungry again?"
“Neither…”
...
...
Liu Lan was not full at all. The bowl of ramen, which cost 150 yuan, was too small. Apart from a few chopsticks of noodles, there were a few slices of meat, fish and shrimps. Liu Lan had a small appetite to begin with, but she still didn't feel full.
She was short of money and didn't dare to order anything else. After all, she had to use the 30,000 yuan to pay off her mother's debt.
So now when she sees the ten-yuan Shaxian noodles, she becomes greedy, but is worried that she won’t be able to finish them and it will be wasted.
Yu Zhan asked her with a smile, "Want some midnight snack?"
"Um."
"What do you want to eat?"
"Noodle."
"This place has big portions, you can't finish it by yourself, and you're still afraid of getting fat."
"Um."
She felt that Yu Zhan was like a worm in her stomach.
"Then I'll eat with you."
Yu Zhan didn't wait for Liu Lan's response, he went in and asked the boss if he could bring his dog to dine. After getting permission, he led Paul in and looked back at her. He was in the light and she was in the shadow. He smiled and said,
"Why don't you come over?"
Liu Lan stared at his eyes blankly. In her memory, only Liu Chengyu had looked at him with similar eyes. Such eyes were telling her that they could tolerate all her willfulness. Liu Chengyu was fatherly love, so what was Yu Zhan?
"A bowl of beef noodles."
At the checkout counter, Yu Zhan said to the boss.
"10 dollars."
Yu Zhan took out his mobile phone to pay, but Liu Lan scanned the Alipay QR code on the wall before him.
“Alipay payment, 10 yuan,” the Bluetooth speaker next to the boss automatically announced.
Yu Zhan smiled and didn't argue with Liu Lan about this. He said to Liu Lan, "Find a seat and sit down."
After all, Shaxian snacks is not specifically for midnight snacks. There is no barbecue or hot pot. Compared with other restaurants, the store is very empty. Many people come in to pack a portion of fried rice and fried noodles and leave.
There were empty seats, so Liu Lan sat down at the nearest table. Yu Zhan sat opposite her, and Paul squatted beside him obediently. Paul was very tall, and even when he was squatting, he was much taller than the table. His majestic head turned around, looking around curiously at this unfamiliar environment.
"Wow, is this Erha?"
A little girl came up to Paul from nowhere, looking like she wanted to touch a dog but didn't dare.
"It's an Alaskan, not a Husky," Yu Zhan corrected her. "You can touch its chin first. It's very docile and never bites anyone."
The girl reached out and carefully touched Paul's chin, and seeing that the dog really had no intention of resisting, she plucked up her courage and gently rubbed the hair on his chin.
"So soft and cute," she exclaimed, and could not help touching it again and again. Paul cooperated by raising his chin to make it easier for her to touch him, and he slightly closed his eyes as if enjoying it, looking very smart.
"Brother, what is the difference between Alaska and Husky?" the little girl asked Yu Zhan.
"You can tell by the size. Huskies aren't this big. You can also look at the forehead. The one with a widow's peak is an Alaskan."
The little girl looked at the dog's head carefully and said, "Really? It really has a widow's peak."
