The next second, Shen Jingrou picked up the phone. Before the other person could speak, she said with a face full of joy, "Big brother, you don’t need to specially call. Just enjoy your date with An Yin..."
"Where are you?"
Shen Jingrou’s words were cut off by a cold, hard voice.
She was startled, thinking the person was looking for her. Secretly delighted, she said, "Little Ai and I are just planning to head ho, no need to find us."
"Jingrou, tell your location." Bao Shaojin spoke again, and it was obvious his tone was unfriendly, with a hint of nace.
After sensing the man’s anger, Shen Jingrou finally realized, "Big brother, was that man not you?" As she finished, her voice grew weaker, wishing she could just cover her mouth.
Oh heavens!
It seed like she was in trouble! Shen Jingrou frowned, tightly pressing her delicate lips.
"Speak."
Even though it was a phone call, Shen Jingrou shivered inexplicably upon hearing Bao Shaojin’s voice.
In the end, Shen Jingrou reluctantly revealed her exact location, even detailing which shop An Yin had been sitting in without missing a word.
After the call was rcilessly cut off by Bao Shaojin, Shen Jingrou squatted down, holding the little one, with a face full of grievance and affection, "My little darling is the cutest!"
"Of course!" The little one tilted her head, looking very proud.
Seeing her daughter’s lack of humility, Shen Jingrou quickly took her daughter away from the building.
Why did she have a feeling a storm was coming here soon!
"Haidilao."
An Yin and ng Sihan were led by the waiter to a window seat.
Once seated, the waiter enthusiastically placed a tablet in front of them to order food.
Seeing the crowded restaurant, ng Sihan’s forehead never relaxed.
"You order," An Yin handed the tablet to the man.
"You do it," ng Sihan refused with a look of disdain.
An Yin retrieved her frozen hand and carefully looked at the nu.
During this ti, the waiter occasionally brought towels and snacks to their table...
ng Sihan watched the waiter bustling around them, his cold face showing a trace of indifference.
After ordering, An Yin handed the nu to the waiter. The waiter then began explaining the dining thods, including mixing your own dipping sauce...
An Yin sat at the side like a well-behaved student, earnestly listening to the waiter’s guidance.
ng Sihan’s patience had already worn out while waiting at the door. Now seeing how long it took to eat hotpot, he narrowed his eyes nacingly, casting a cold glance at the waiter.
The waiters at Haidilao were well-trained, always smiling cheerfully. However, upon eting the man’s cold gaze, the waiter’s smile gradually froze.
The man’s expression was too unpleasant!
The waiter initially planned to remind them of a few dining matters, but upon seeing the nearly frozen expression of the man, he left dejectedly.
After the waiter left, An Yin stood up, "I’ll go get so dipping sauce. Would you like to join ?"
"Whatever." It was ng Sihan’s first ti eating such a thing, and the pervasive spicy aroma made him quite uncomfortable.
Seeing his arms crossed arrogantly in front of him, An Yin felt helpless, "I’ll get so for you."
"Alright."
An Yin stood up.
At the sauce station, she made two portions, and when she saw the waiter who had served them, she quickly caught up to him. Then An Yin whispered a few words to the waiter before hurriedly leaving.
When she returned to the table, the base soup and dishes had already been served.
She placed one of the sauces in front of the man, "See if there’s anything in it you don’t like."
ng Sihan looked at the bowl filled with green onions, cilantro, fernted tofu, sesa, chili... a wide variety. This little girl must have put all the sauces in his bowl.
The man lifted his eyes and looked at her bowl; it was exactly the sa. Whatever!
"This will do," ng Sihan suddenly said.
Seeing that he wasn’t picky, An Yin excitedly said, "I saw so fresh waterlon, cantaloupe, and other snacks there. Let’s go get so, it’s free!"
As she spoke the last few words, there seed to be a sparkle, like starlight, in the girl’s rolling eyes, dazzling and charming.
In the next half hour, amid the bustling crowd, everyone’s eyes were fixed on the two of them in the restaurant.
The young girl was stunningly beautiful, the man tall and handso. The two, one following the other, navigated the narrow alleys with plates of fruits and snacks.
People noticed the young girl’s tranquil deanor, her crescent eyes, and her blooming smile.
Conversely, the man looked very much like a little sidekick, his grim, cold face showing strong reluctance.
Despite this, them walking together didn’t feel discordant at all. Instead, the man’s face showed a hint of indulgence.
Finally back at the seat, ng Sihan looked at the table filled with food and raised his eyebrows.
"Let’s start eating!" An Yin ordered two types of base soup, spicy and non-spicy.
Seeing her pick up her chopsticks, ng Sihan followed suit.
The food on the table gradually diminished, basin by basin. Originally with a long face, the man seed to have found a new world upon tasting the piping hot beef rolls and began to eat enthusiastically.
From childhood to adulthood, ng Sihan had eaten countless delicacies, and every al was specially curated by nutritionists, never compromising. For him, food was rely energy replenishnt, and eating was not particularly enjoyable.
At this mont, he felt differently.
When the scalding at entered his mouth, for the first ti, he had a sense of fullness, and what amazed him even more was that he liked dining with the young girl.
Watching the girl eat with gusto, his own appetite increased.
They quickly finished all the food on the table, and even the fruits they brought were consud entirely.
After they put down their chopsticks, An Yin placed the cake she bought in the center of the table.
"Do you have a lighter?" she asked while already trying to unpack the cake.
"Yes."
After unpacking the cake, An Yin placed a small candle in the center, "Light it."
ng Sihan’s deep eyes rested on the pink cake, a complex emotion flickering in his dark pupils. He slowly reached out and lit the candle.
As he was about to pull his hand back, a cheer erupted beside him, and soon, several waiters holding balloons with "Happy Birthday" written on them appeared at their side, all singing.
"Say Bye~Bye to all worries, say Hi~Hi to all happiness,
Dear, dear, happy birthday, every day is wonderful,
Watch the flowers of happiness bloom for you, listen to the beautiful music cheering for you,
Dear, dear, happy birthday, wishing you eternal happiness, eternal happiness!"
