Li Yuehuan paced anxiously in place, drawing frequent glances from people at the nearby tables.
She didn't care.
Upon seeing Lu Shen, she quickly went up to him, "Lu Shen, how are you? Did Brother Shao Kai give you any trouble?"
Gu Shaokai yelled, "Girl, what kind of look is that? Do you think Brother Shaokai is going to eat him?"
"Hmm...who knows."
Li Yuehuan bravely protected Lu Shen; he was the person she loved, and no one could bully him.
Lu Shen smelled the fragrance of Huanhuan's hair and smiled gently, "Huanhuan, we are having a peaceful exchange."
She asked uncertainly, "Really?"
As far as she knew, Brother Shaokai had many ways of torturing people.
"Girl, you don't believe me? I'm so disappointed in you."
Gu Shaokai feigned grievance, putting on a hurt expression.
Li Yuehuan scratched her head subconsciously, then smiled and said, "Brother Shaokai, don't be angry, that's not what I meant."
"Alright! Just kidding." Gu Shaokai deliberately patted the girl's head in front of Lu Shen. "You two enjoy your meal. Let us know if you want anything else to eat."
As he passed Lu Shen, he stopped and turned to say to him, "Treat the girl well, and don't let her suffer even the slightest grievance."
Lu Shen nodded solemnly.
In the contest between the two grown men, Lu Shen was clearly the victor.
After sitting down, Li Yuehuan asked eagerly, "Lu Shen, what were you two talking about just now?"
"He asked me a few questions, and then told me to treat you well."
She lowered her head shyly to drink her coffee, her voice muffled, "So what was your answer?"
Lu Shen looked at her without saying a word, simply tucking a stray strand of her hair behind her ear.
Her voice was very gentle, "I said...you are my life."
Li Yuehuan looked up instantly, stunned for a long time, until the man took her hand and kissed it. She felt her whole hand go numb. "Lu Shen, you're so good!"
"Huanhuan, would you like to sit here?"
Lu Shen patted the seat next to him, as it was a bit more spacious on his side.
"want."
Li Yuehuan hurriedly replied, not caring about being shy, and then sat down next to him.
Which one would you like to eat?
Lu Shen's hands were clasped together with hers, his expression perfectly upright.
Li Yuehuan was secretly delighted. This man was quite the repressed flirt, but she liked him.
Leaning on his shoulder, she pointed to the tiramisu on the table and said with a smile, "I want to eat that."
The two cuddled together for a while before properly going downstairs.
She hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Lu Shen, I'll go pay the bill first."
Lu Shen pulled her back, "Huanhuan, I've already paid the bill."
When did you go?
As soon as she finished speaking, she remembered that the man had indeed left for a moment.
She pursed her lips and asked, "Is it a lot of money? I'll give it to you."
She went back and inquired about the man's family last time. She learned that the man's family was poor, and his aunt was often sick, so his life must be difficult.
“I have money; my family gave me a lot of red envelopes this Chinese New Year.”
After saying that, he reached out to take out a red envelope.
Lu Shen helplessly stopped her, and said gently, "Huanhuan, what kind of person do you take me for?"
"But you..."
Li Yuehuan hesitated, afraid of hurting the man's pride.
Lu Shen whispered in her ear, "I'm not actually poor. I can easily support you."
He saves all the money he earns, except for his daily expenses and his mother's medical bills.
If he weren't afraid of his mother overthinking things, he would have wanted to move to a larger courtyard long ago.
"Lu Shen, how's the taste? Are you satisfied?"
At this moment, Gu Shaokai walked over and addressed Lu Shen as a brother.
His opinion of Lu Shen completely changed the moment Lu Shen came down to pay the bill.
It seems he's doing business outside; that's good, he's got guts.
"Hmm, not bad."
Aside from Huanhuan, he is always very sparing with words when speaking to others.
Gu Shaokai thought to himself, "Why does he have the same cold temper as Brother Ting?"
"By the way, you don't need to pay next time you come. The girl is always free here." So you're just taking advantage of the girl.
Gu Shaokai was just testing Lu Shen to see if he was a stingy person.
Lu Shen remained silent; he wouldn't come here to eat and drink for free.
Li Yuehuan said goodbye, "Brother Shaokai, we're leaving now."
Gu Shaokai glanced at Lu Shen and said, "Take the girl home as soon as possible."
Lu Shen nodded and walked out with Huanhuan.
Hei Zi leaned closer and remarked, "Brother Kai, that man seems unusual."
Gu Shaokai snorted lightly, "He's not simple."
After leaving the coffee shop, the two consciously let go of each other's hands, since holding hands on the street would attract too much attention.
"Lu Shen, where do we go next?"
It wasn't even noon yet, and she was a little reluctant to part ways.
Lu Shen's lips curled slightly as he looked down at her. "Huanhuan, do you want to come to my house?"
Is this your home?
She suddenly panicked. Was the ugly daughter-in-law about to meet her parents?
"It's okay if you're not mentally prepared yet."
Upon hearing the man's words, she became anxious.
"No, I want to go."
She blushed when she caught a glimpse of the smile in the man's eyes.
"Then I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things before I go there."
You can't go to a first meeting empty-handed, especially on New Year's Day.
"No need, my mom won't mind."
"No, I can't leave a bad impression on Auntie."
Although she is usually carefree, she still understands social etiquette.
Upon arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Yuehuan, clutching a large sum of money, slowly began selecting items without hesitation.
"By the way, what does your aunt like?"
Lu Shen was captivated by her smile. "Just buy some candy."
So you like candy, just like her.
Despite saying that, she still kept buying things, and before she knew it, she had bought too much.
Embarrassed, she touched the tip of her nose. "That seems a bit too much."
"It's okay, I'll go pay the bill."
Li Yuehuan quickly followed, "This is what I bought for Auntie, of course I paid for it."
"Silly girl, do we really need to be so clear about the distinctions?"
Li Yuehuan shook her head stupidly. She wished she could be one with the man, but the next second she realized she had fallen into his trap. "No, that's different."
But he had already paid the bill. "Okay, let's go."
Where did you get the ticket?
Li Yuehuan relentlessly pursued the matter, asking every single question along the way.
The man carried the things effortlessly, his tall body leaning slightly towards her, making them look like a perfect couple from a distance.
Lu Shen's home was in a nearby village. To avoid running into acquaintances, he took a secluded path.
We passed a vegetable garden, which was lush and green.
Wow, it looks so beautiful.
"Lu Shen, does your mother know how to grow vegetables?" Li Yuehuan asked, looking up at her.
Lu Shen pinched the tip of her nose. "Even country folk know how to grow vegetables."
Yeah, she seems to have asked a stupid question.
"I don't know how to grow vegetables, will your mom dislike me?"
It seems she still has a lot to learn.
"I guarantee she'll like you."
