Chapter 91

~11 min read 2,173 words

The boss saw a customer coming and entertained him enthusiastically, "What do you want to eat?"

Li Heng's attention was all on the beauty two tables away, and he didn't speak. He pointed his right hand to the steamed dumplings, indicating that he wanted a portion.

Steamed dumplings were ready-made. At this time, there were not many left in the bamboo steamer. The boss skillfully took a white porcelain plate and quickly clamped a portion for him with bamboo tweezers, which was 10.

There were two kinds of dipping sauces, sesame sauce and chili sauce.

Li Heng had a picky taste, so he scooped a spoonful of both sauces, placed them at both ends of the white porcelain plate, and then walked to the opposite side of Xiao Han with the plate, quietly sitting in the seat Yang Yingwen had just vacated.

Xiao Han didn't pay much attention to this, thinking that her best friend had returned from the restroom, and was still lowering her head to eat wontons.

But before she could eat a bite, she smelled a very fragrant soap scent drifting over slowly.

Without looking up, she knew who had come, and Xiao Han laughed dumbly.

In junior high school, she smelled this soap scent on someone for the first time, and was once very addicted.

When she went to the market on holiday, she once teamed up with two little sisters to search the whole street and alley, and finally found the soap with the same scent in a corner shop in the farmers' market.

Since then, she announced that she would use this soap to wash clothes, an operation that made Wei Shiman doubt life.

Wei Shiman questioned her daughter: "There are clearly better ones at home, why do you want this cheap stuff?"

Xiao Han's answer was very casual, "I just like the smell of this."

Wei Shiman didn't understand, and many times she returned the cheap stuff she bought to the corner, or even threw it away.

But she would buy new ones later.

For this reason, Wei Shiman even held a feather duster and threatened her brazenly:

"Your father is a town mayor anyway, if you use things that don't match the family status again, I will cut off your pocket money."

Afraid of being cut off from pocket money, Xiao Han really stopped for a period of time, but later used it again. Wei Shiman was completely crazy and stopped caring about her.

Xiao Han lowered her head and thought about the innocent and romantic past. A pure joy spread from her heart. What does the behavior of coming to find herself count as?

Is the story between us not over yet?

Just when she was troubled in her heart, Li Heng spoke.

He explained the misunderstanding in one sentence, "The meal when I had a fever was brought from Sun Manning's house. It happened to be her birthday that day, so the dishes were very rich."

After speaking, he didn't explain too much, but looked at her quietly, waiting for her to digest it.

No one doesn't hope that the old man under the moon stands on their side, and she is the same.

Since falling in love with him, everything about meeting, everything related to him, she would treat it as a silicon jade, thinking it was God's guidance.

They would all be labeled with a label called "love" by her.

He came to find her, and even explained the reason. Xiao Han suddenly felt that today's rainwater was not so annoying, the sky had colors, and the rainwater had positive significance.

Seeing him staring at her, Xiao Han finally couldn't resist the pressure, feigned composure and slowly raised her head.

Clean and three-dimensional face, clear facial features that attract girls' hearts, deep pupils emitting bright black light, smiling very warmly.

Just for a moment, Xiao Han was moved by this face in front of her, and the coldness of the past month instantly disintegrated.

She felt she was funny, and felt she was pitiful, as if her fate was pinched by him, unable to escape.

She didn't believe in fate. But in front of his love, she could selfishly forgive once.

Of course, she was still that girl who loved to put on airs with a graceful bearing and cool self-restraint in front of people, just pursed her lips and looked at him, not taking the initiative to say a word.

This counts as her last affectation, hmm, if you don't open your mouth to ask, this young lady will definitely not make a sound. Making a sound is a puppy.

Looking at each other, Li Heng knew her temper, so he decided to satisfy her small vanity and self-esteem.

He smiled and said: "Don't misunderstand, I came to find you because I dropped something here."

A "Don't misunderstand" made the blood she had just raised sink three times.

She feigned composure and asked nonchalantly: "What thing?"

Li Heng said: "You help me look, look, see if there is anything in your pocket?"

At first, Xiao Han didn't move.

But finally defeated by those eyes that could tempt herself, she carefully touched both pockets, and the result was empty.

She pursed her lips and said: "No."

Li Heng leaned forward and asked with an puzzled look: "Really no? I clearly dropped my soul here, you wouldn't have hidden it this month, right?"

She subconsciously wanted to say no.

But the next second, the cherry mouth that was about to speak was pursed together again. Under his warm breath, the blush gradually crawled all over her face, and she couldn't help lowering her head.

A line of blush, brushing towards the peach cheeks, smiling dimples on both cheeks, rosy light rippling, worthy of being one of the two most beautiful women he had ever seen in his previous life. Li Heng looked at it steadily for a while, and praised from the bottom of his heart: "Your two small dimples are really beautiful."

Being stared at by her beloved honey for the first time, Xiao Han shouted in her heart: Dead girl, calm down! Calm down! You are the one who was wronged, you can't get stage fright.

But the shy her still got stage fright, her head lowered lower, her chin almost touching her chest, and the blush on her face invaded violently in an incredible way.

At this time, she felt her whole body was so hot, hot enough to cook eggs.

Time walked quietly. In this absolute silence, some burdens between the two seemed to disappear, and the chains locking the two hearts also broke one by one in the blush.

At a certain moment, Li Heng poked the steamed dumpling with chopsticks, breaking the deadlock and saying:

"Oh my, look, look at my dumplings."

Hearing this, Xiao Han, who had nowhere to escape, comforted herself a little, and then gave him a lot of face and raised her head.

Li Heng pointed to the dumpling and asked: "Did you see anything different?"

Looking down, Xiao Han identified it carefully for a while, and shook her head.

Li Heng used chopsticks to pick up a steamed dumpling and reached in front of her, "Look again."

Xiao Han identified it with full concentration again, and still shook her head.

Li Heng signaled her to open her mouth: "Then eat it and try, if you still can't taste the difference, I'll tell you the answer."

Xiao Han opened her mouth between laughter and tears, "You wouldn't just want to play with me, right?"

Added a sentence in her heart: just want to feed me food.

Li Heng smiled and put the steamed dumpling on one end of the chopsticks into her mouth.

She tried to bite a few times, then bit a few times, until she chewed it and swallowed it, and didn't taste anything different.

Li Heng picked up another dumpling with broken skin and said to himself: "Look at this dumpling, the skin is broken. Caring about someone can't be hidden, just like I care about you, it's exposed."

Hearing these affectionate words for the first time, Xiao Han couldn't resist the sweet blow again and lowered her head, her right hand under the table holding her trembling left hand tightly.

The wonton soup reflected a beautiful face. A smile that was not easily noticeable slowly floated on the corners of her mouth, cunning and gentle, and her curved eyebrows were almost narrowed into honey color.

Feeling him staring at her with his head tilted, Xiao Han was a bit embarrassed, took a deep breath secretly, tilted her head, wanted to open her mouth to ask him what was going on today? Is it that you won't chase Song Yu in the future? But she saw him retract his head just right and sit up straight.

Xiao Han wanted to speak several times, but didn't say it in the end, she was afraid.

Afraid that once she opened her mouth, if she wasn't the winner, then the fragile relationship that the two had just established with difficulty would disappear again.

Over the past month, she was free and easy in Yang Yingwen's eyes.

But only Xiao Han knew that wherever he appeared, her peripheral vision had always followed him, never leaving him.

This feeling of being close at hand but seemingly far away was very tired and very tormented, so tormented that she was afraid.

Since the misunderstanding was resolved, now that he handed over the steps, she was willing to retreat with dignity.

Li Heng naturally put the second steamed dumpling on the chopsticks into her bowl and said: "Please eat steamed dumplings, apologize."

After speaking, Li Heng, in her surprise, picked up the steamed dumplings one by one and sent them into his mouth, eating and drinking.

The reason why Xiao Han's face was full of surprise was because she had known him for so many years, and rarely saw him put down his face to apologize to others.

Even last time at the girls' dormitory door, he paved a long string of awesome words before quietly adding "I'm sorry" at the end.

Xiao Han spent a few minutes digesting what had just happened, and then said crisply:

"If it's to apologize for the chicken, fish, and meat, I don't think it's necessary, that's my own fault. If it's for Song Yu..."

She smiled sweetly at him and said in a joking tone: "Then it's even less necessary."

Li Heng finished the last steamed dumpling, chewed it, swallowed it, drank hot tea, and said: "Xiao Han, right?"

Called by name suddenly, she was stunned, "Ah?"

Li Heng reached out and shouted: "Boss, another bowl of wonton, the same seasoning as hers. Xiao Han, do you like me?"

Xiao Han's brain didn't turn around for a while, and she was even more stunned: "Ah???"

The next moment, she pressed her small heart that was beating over 360 miles with her right hand, her face was red but she looked indifferent and said: "Mr. Li, it's best to stop this kind of joke."

Well, for "Xiao Han, do you like me," she neither denied nor admitted.

Not denying is: she really likes him, really loves him.

Not admitting is: everything now is too different from the longing she imagined, she is afraid, she is panicked, and she is not reconciled.

Of course, the most is not reconciled!

She knows he has Song Yu in his heart, and probably Chen Zijin's shadow. Before suppressing them, the girl who loves to put on airs will not easily compromise.

At least, she hasn't tried whether she can defeat them or not, so she won't compromise, which is inconsistent with her consistent pride.

Seeing him looking over with a serious face, she didn't fight for a bit of the arrogance she just had, eyebrows curved, hmm, added a soft voice again:

"Don't misunderstand, not all girls can't resist your handsome face."

Li Heng laughed, and also knew why she was holding on to the end.

It is estimated that she cannot accept that she likes Song Yu so much, so she would rather give up this opportunity to pull the distance between each other.

He sighed secretly, in fact, if she didn't mind, it was very willing to be with her first.

Anyway, Song Yu and Xiao Han, it doesn't matter who gets it first.

But he also understands that Xiao Han and Song Yu are not so easy to handle, they both have their own dignity and pride.

The attempt failed, and Li Heng was not discouraged.

After all, he had been closed out by Song Yu several times before, and eating once here was normal, more like a balance.

Li Heng came back to his senses and said righteously: "Then you treat this dinner, count as apologizing to me."

Xiao Han was stunned, forced to operate, and said pitifully: "Okay."
