Beijing and Hong Kong kiss
Chapter 6 Explanation
The four looked at each other, one was shocked, the other was indifferent.
Lin You never expected that Shi Jingyuan would suddenly appear in front of her.
"Where are the cakes?" Shi Jingyuan asked.
Lin You was stunned for a moment, still not recovered from the shock, and was slow to react, "What pastry?"
Shi Jingyuan pointed to the closed shop behind her and said, "Aren't you buying cakes to please me so that I won't embarrass you at work?"
Although he was telling the truth, the word "flatter" revealed the superior attitude of a capitalist.
Lin You said calmly, "Sorry, I didn't buy it."
Shi Jingyuan frowned slightly, and looked past her to the chicken wonton soup in the distance.
He raised his hand and pointed, "To please me, you don't need cakes, a bowl of wontons will do."
As he spoke, he raised his foot and walked forward.
Lin You stood behind with his eyes wide open and stunned.
He Xuan trotted over to her and reminded her cheerfully, "Sister Lin, Mr. Shi wanted to treat him to a bowl of wontons, and this matter will be over."
Lin You: “Oh…”
After a pause, she said softly, "Well...my phone is out of battery, and I don't have any cash. Can you lend me some money first?"
Shi Jingyuan, who was walking in front, paused and turned back to look at her with a playful expression.
"Lend me money to treat me to a meal?"
Is there anything wrong with this? Lin You didn't understand the meaning of his question.
As his assistant, He Xuan could only guess a few points.
With Mr. Shi's status, how shabby would it be to ask people to borrow money to treat him to a meal?
However, in front of Mr. Shi, he couldn't explain much, so he could only cough twice and said, "I'll go scan a power bank for you."
"That's fine." Lin You didn't care about such details.
The Chicken Soup Wonton Shop is very small, and the tables are even smaller. The small square tables are less than one meter long, and it is a bit crowded for two people to sit at them.
The seating arrangement for the three of them made He Xuan very embarrassed.
Shi Jingyuan walked straight to the seat inside and sat down.
He Xuan looked at Lin You, with a strong desire to survive on his face.
He didn't dare sit so close to have dinner with Mr. Shi!
Lin You noticed his struggle, and generously sat down opposite Shi Jingyuan, then said to He Xuan: "I will sit with Mr. Shi for a while, didn't you say you would scan the power bank for me?"
He Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately left the wonton shop quickly.
The shop does not have a menu; the varieties and prices are displayed on a display screen at the back.
Lin You tilted her neck back to look at the display screen, revealing her perfect neck curve and pink, round ears. Her earlobes were small and delicate, and the pearl earrings she wore glowed with a faint white light.
The two of them sat close to each other, and when Shi Jingyuan raised his head, his eyes fell on her earlobe.
"I want two taels of chicken soup wontons and an appetizer. Where's Mr. Shi?" Lin You said and lowered his head.
Shi Jingyuan hastily looked away and said casually, "Same as you."
Lin You responded and repeated it to the shop owner.
Although the waiting time was not long, it was a bit awkward for two people to sit face to face with nothing to talk about.
Lin You was not good at speaking. After thinking for a long time, he finally said, "What happened in the cafeteria that day... I'm sorry for causing trouble to Mr. Shi."
Shi Jingyuan looked at her with a half-smile, "The one you should apologize to is not me, but He Xuan's girlfriend."
Lin You: “…”
She had been too lazy to explain this issue last time, but she didn't expect that he still misunderstood it.
Lin You raised her eyes to meet his, and earnestly cleared herself up, "I didn't mean what you think I meant to He Xuan."
Shi Jingyuan looked unconvinced, “Your concern and care for He Xuan is not like that for an ordinary colleague.”
Lin You was surprised at his sharpness and then pursed his lips.
"I admit that I do hope to help him within my ability, but..."
The clay man still had some temper. He repeatedly questioned her character, and her voice gradually became cold.
"But it's not as dirty as Mr. Shi imagined. It's just that his experience reminded me of many times I was bullied in the past."
“Because I have been caught in the rain before, I also want to hold an umbrella for others. Have you ever heard this sentence?”
Shi Jingyuan did not miss the mocking expression on her face, and also heard the accusations against him in her words.
“Bullying?” Shi Jingyuan raised his eyebrows, with a smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes. “Who do you think is bullying He Xuan?”
Lin You is not a newcomer to the workplace, and he is not foolish enough to think that exposing unfair phenomena will definitely lead to just results.
Over the years, she has learned to say one thing and mean another without changing her expression.
"No, Mr. Shi misunderstood. I was just making an analogy, you don't need to take it personally."
She put on a professional smile and then turned to look in the direction of the kitchen. "The wontons are ready, Mr. Shi. I'll go and bring them over for you."
Although his attitude was polite and respectful... he was also distant.
Shi Jingyuan saw the woman in front of him stand up and walk towards the dining table, her entire back filled with impatience.
After a while, Lin You came back with a plate of food and placed his portion in front of him first, "Please have your meal, Mr. Shi."
She was like a competent waiter, and she carefully broke open the disposable chopsticks for him.
Shi Jingyuan took the chopsticks, but for some reason, the more he looked at the standard smile on her face, the more annoying it seemed to him.
After Lin You showed due courtesy, he stopped talking and just concentrated on eating.
She hadn't eaten a single grain of rice since she got off work, and was already starving. She was also very angry at Shi Jingyuan's sarcasm and ridicule, so now she turned her grief and anger into appetite.
Shi Jingyuan had just taken two bites and when he looked up again, he saw that more than half of the wontons in her bowl were gone.
She ate wontons one by one, totally disregarding her image in front of him, without any elegance at all.
He suddenly remembered what Qian Ling had said as a joke before.
When a woman completely disregards her personal image in front of you, either she is already completely close to you, or you are totally not her type and she is too lazy to maintain her image in front of you.
And Lin You...is obviously the latter.
He suddenly lost his appetite and simply put down his disposable chopsticks.
Lin You was full and satisfied. Seeing that he had hardly touched the wontons, her eyes darkened but she said nothing.
It's normal that you may not be used to eating wontons which only cost a few dollars.
It was already this late, and He Xuan hadn't come back yet. Lin You was a little worried, so he asked politely, "Mr. Shi, can I borrow your phone to call He Xuan?"
Shi Jingyuan had a blank expression on his face. He unlocked the screen and handed the phone over.
Lin You took the phone and saw the background of the screen, and was suddenly stunned.
The background of his screen was a photo of a snow-white kitten with a familiar bell hanging around the kitten's neck.
"What's wrong?" Shi Jingyuan asked.
Lin You pursed his lips and asked tentatively: "Mr. Shi... do you have a cat?"
Perhaps the hope in her eyes was too obvious, Shi Jingyuan's pupils shrank for a moment, but his face did not show it.
"I don't keep it. It's a stray cat in the neighborhood. I took a picture of it and kept it because I thought it looked pretty."
Lin You was startled, and instead of being calm and composed, he asked, "Where is the community you are talking about?"
