Sheng Jie was sure that this woman was trying to make him jealous, and if he followed her, she would probably be very happy.

Xu Jiaojiao caught a glimpse of Sheng Jie and saw him curl his lips in a smile, but didn't say anything.

Xu Jiaojiao looked at him with wet eyes like a deer: "Hubby, where are we going?"

Xie Zhi stopped walking. The two of them happened to be standing at the entrance of the state-owned restaurant. He felt that he had wronged the girl. "Let's go eat. We didn't eat much this morning."

Xu Jiaojiao said happily: "Then bring one for mom as well."

As he spoke, he took Xie Zhi's hand and went in. The two of them were good-looking and stood out in the crowd. Their clothes were obviously much better than those of ordinary people. If you didn't know, you would think they were from the provincial capital.

Therefore, the snobbish employee did not stop them, but approached them enthusiastically: "Comrade, please come in."

Shen Yun saw them go in, and stood at the door anxiously, saying hastily: "Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao."

There's nothing we can do about it. This is how it is in these days. The employees at state-owned restaurants basically have their eyes on the top of their heads. When they see that it's a country girl dressed so old-fashioned, they naturally speak in a bad tone.

When Xie Zhi heard the woman's voice, his heart tightened. He really hated Shen Yun. His eyes on her became sharp, and Shen Yun felt a chill in her heart.

Xu Jiaojiao turned around with a smile on her face and said apologetically, "Ayun, do you want to come in too? But my husband is paying me today. I used to spend all my money on you guys. Mom hasn't given me pocket money for a long time."

"Ayun, why don't you ask your husband to treat you to a meal."

"My money is useful. Comrade Shen should pay for it himself." Xie Zhi refused in a cold voice without hesitation. He didn't want anyone to disturb his and Jiaojiao's alone time.

Shen Yun was almost angry to the point of vomiting blood, with tears flashing in his eyes. Seeing the contemptuous eyes of others, as if saying that he was a take advantage of others, he immediately wiped his eyes and ran away crying.

The two of them sat near the window, from where they could see the bustling market. In an era when spending money required various bills, quite a number of people bartered.

The waiter brought over the menu. Xu Jiaojiao flipped through it and took a look. There weren't many varieties of food, but it was much better than the food at home and the prices were not too expensive. Vegetarian dishes were charged by the cent, while meat dishes were charged by the dime. Two meat dishes and one vegetable dish cost about one yuan.

But Xu Jiaojiao's mouth was a little bit picky after being fed beef jerky, braised pork and other things at home, and she was not very interested in these foods.

She raised her bright eyes and said, "Husband, you order."

Xie Zhi searched for a long time and saw shrimps priced at one yuan. Their county is located inland, and shrimps are still very precious, so they are more expensive than ordinary meat dishes.

"Would you like some shrimp? Spicy."

"want."

Then Xie Zhi ordered a fish, an eggplant and a dish of cold shredded potatoes. To be honest, ordering four dishes for two people was a luxury.

Sheng Jie originally wanted to share a table with them. After all, he came here hungry. When he left, he said countless nice things to Sheng's mother. Originally, this woman would prepare breakfast like before, but unexpectedly, there was nothing.

"Comrade, sit here." At the clerk's request, Sheng Jie could only sit behind them and looked at Xu Jiaojiao's back with resentment.

Xie Zhi glanced at Sheng Jie nonchalantly with a look of disdain, "idiot."

Sheng Jie obviously caught it, but he didn't dare to say a word. He was still counting on Xu Jiaojiao to pay.

The waiter looked at the man who was reluctant to order and rolled his eyes helplessly: "Comrade, please order."

Sheng Jie glanced at the waiter and puffed out his chest proudly, like a fighting rooster: "Give me one portion of your signature dish. No, I want shrimp and a vegetarian dish."

Then, he looked at Xu Jiaojiao with a smug look, but found that the two people were talking together, and his eyes changed instantly.

The waiter kindly advised: "Comrade, you are alone, so a bowl of noodles is enough. Ordering two dishes is too much."

Sheng Jie got angry instantly. He couldn't afford to offend those two people, so how could he not offend this waiter?

He said in a scolding tone: "Why are you talking so much? Just do what I say. No wonder you can only be a waiter in a restaurant."

The clerk's face changed instantly. Who wouldn't envy himself for having a good job in a state-owned restaurant? But today, this man told him about the shortcomings of a waiter. He rolled his eyes fiercely and swore to spit in his food to disgust him to death.

The dishes were served quickly. Xie Zhi wiped his hands, picked up the shrimps on the table and started peeling them. Xu Jiaojiao looked at Xie Zhi with a serious expression, with appreciation.

It's rare to find a man with life in his eyes.

"It's peeled."

Xie Zhi originally wanted to put it on Jiaojiao's plate, but the girl boldly pulled his hand over, and her tender white hand grasped hers, holding Xie Zhi's hand.

She opened her pink lips slightly and took the shrimp and her finger into her mouth.

Xu Jiaojiao curled her red lips and said, "It's delicious. Help me peel one."

Xie Zhi almost froze in place. He immediately looked around because of Jiaojiao's bold action. When he found that no one noticed him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his fingertips that had been sucked were numb.

Xie Zhi's ears turned red, and the moment his finger was sucked in, it seemed as if it penetrated straight into his heart.

His eyes were as dark as ink: "Jiaojiao, you...you are too bold."

Xu Jiaojiao raised the corners of her mouth, her tone was aggrieved, and her eyes were wet: "If you don't like it, I won't do it next time."

Xie Zhi quickly peeled a shrimp, his narrow black eyes narrowed, his emotions were murky, and he motioned the girl to repeat the action just now: "I like it very much."

Xu Jiaojiao chuckled, like a cat stealing some fish, with a smug look on her pretty face.

Xie Zhi picked up a piece of fish meat for her with chopsticks and coaxed her, "Be good and eat. We'll make it when we get home."

Sheng Jie saw everything that happened between the two and was furious. It was not enough for Xu Jiaojiao, this slut, to seduce him, she also wanted to seduce Xie Zhi, a wild man.

At this moment, he wanted to win back Xu Jiaojiao's heart to the extreme. In the competition with Xie Zhi, he was not better than him in any way. If he lost the favor of this woman now, he would be completely defeated.

But Sheng Jie still didn't care. He was confident that he could just coax her casually. After all, he knew too well how much Xu Jiaojiao liked him.
