Caroline still had a cold face and simply covered his face with her hands to keep him away from her.
"If three doesn't work..."
Caroline glanced at him and interrupted him coldly, "Are you interesting?"
Yuan Yelin put his fist to his mouth and coughed, "This is a popular joke on the Internet now. Don't you think it's funny?"
"The laugh?" Caroline's expression clearly showed that she couldn't get the laugh.
Is her smile too high
Yuan Yelin was a little disappointed when he saw that she was not being flirted with.
But it's okay, he will keep trying.
Caroline felt that the two of them were sitting a little close.
She moved a little, leaning closer to the other side.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she moved a little, someone followed her.
She moved a little more, and he moved too.
The distance between the two never changed.
Caroline was a little helpless, so she simply stopped looking at him and looked at the scenery outside.
Yuan Yelin didn't like her ignoring him, so he quietly stretched out a hand.
Caroline shook her shoulders and said coldly, "Don't lean on me."
Yuan Yelin stared at her, suddenly covering his chest and saying, "My wound hurts a little..."
These words caused Caroline to turn to look at him.
Yuan Yelin pretended to be weak and buried his face on her shoulder.
Caroline didn't know if he was pretending or if he was serious.
Although she thought he was pretending, she hesitated for two seconds and allowed him to continue leaning against her without pushing him away.
Until the car stopped.
Caroline shook her head on her shoulders and said, "We're here, stop pretending."
Yuan Yelin bared his teeth and said, "I'm not pretending, it really hurts."
Caroline ignored him, opened the car door, and got out of the car.
Yuan Yelin lost his support and almost fell down.
Seeing that she was unmoved, he had no choice but to get out of the car.
In front of me is a very traditional Japanese restaurant. It seems a bit abrupt and strange to open next to this American street.
"It looks pretty good." Yuan Yelin nodded and reached out to hold her.
Caroline avoided his hand without leaving a trace and walked forward.
Yuan Yelin's hand flew away.
He looked at his hands and smiled.
"come on."
he said to himself.
The restaurant employees were waiting at the door, opened the paper door for Caroline, bowed respectfully at ninety degrees, and called in Japanese, "Welcome."
Yuan Yelin followed and hugged her waist without giving up.
"Sit at the bar in front." He pointed to the front.
Instinctively, Caroline prefers quiet and secluded locations, and the bar is obviously the most conspicuous place, so she doesn't really want to go there.
She said, “Just find a corner and sit.
Yuan Yelin seemed to know what she was thinking and said, "Don't worry, there are only two of us here and no one else, so it doesn't matter where you sit."
"It's just the two of us? Didn't you say this store is very popular?" Caroline thought of the review list he just showed her. This store was number one. How could no one come
She looked around and saw that there was really no one else, just the two of them.
Yuan Yelin took her waist and took her to the bar.
Caroline looked at him, obviously understanding, "You booked the venue?" Yuan Yelin nodded and admitted, "I know you like peace and quiet and don't like crowds."
Moreover, he had other intentions.
Caroline rolled her eyes at him, "I know you have a lot of money, but that's not how you spend it, right?"
In order to find her and bribe Thomas, I don’t know how much money was spent here.
Now here comes this one again.
Does he think he has too much money and can't spend it all
Yuan Yelin smiled and said nonchalantly, "The purpose of making money is to spend it. Spending it happily is worth it."
Anyway, he felt it was worth it.
Caroline was speechless and didn't want to argue with him.
After the two sat down, a waiter came up to serve them and asked them what they wanted to eat and drink.
"Drink some sake? The sake of this restaurant is the signature one, and I heard it's very good." Yuan Yelin suggested, looking a little malicious.
Caroline said, "If you don't drink, your wound hasn't fully healed yet, so you can't drink."
She didn't want to drink either.
"Just have a light drink, a small cup, it won't bother you. The sake from Country R won't be intoxicating." Regardless of her objections, Yuan Yelin insisted on letting the waiter get the wine.
Caroline crossed her arms and stared at him, "You really want to drink, don't you?"
Yuan Yelin made a gesture of surrender, "I won't drink, but... can you let me smell it? I'll just smell it, okay?"
Caroline expressed disbelief, pointed at him and said, "Then you are not allowed to drink a sip, you can only smell it."
"Okay, I promise." Yuan Yelin looked sincere.
When he ordered, he ordered two portions of eel rice.
Caroline looked at him puzzled, "That's all?"
It's not like his style to order so few points.
"Eat some food first, there are other things to eat, don't worry, you will find out later." Yuan Yelin pretended to be mysterious, staring at her, as if he was hiding some secret.
It was no use to whet Caroline's appetite. She had never been that curious.
So ignoring his mystery, she picked up the water glass that was brought to her and prepared to take a sip of water.
"Wait." Yuan Yelin stopped her, holding the water glass in his hand.
He checked the temperature and said, "The water is cold. Don't drink this. I'll ask them to pour you a cup of hot water."
"What does cold water have to do with it?" Caroline put his hand away.
"Drinking cold water is not good for girls, you'd better drink hot water." Yuan Yelin went to grab the cup again.
Caroline's eyebrows raised and she avoided his hand.
Yuan Yelin stared at her and took action quickly the next second.
The two of them were going back and forth, seemingly competing for the cup, but in fact they were discussing each other.
There were emotions flowing between the two of them.
Such a scene was often staged when they were in country R.
It was clear that it had not been long since she returned to the United States from country R, but she had the illusion that it had been several years.
Caroline didn't know what she thought of, her consciousness fell into a trance, and the cup was snatched away by Yuan Yelin.
Yuan Yelin raised his hand and motioned for the waiter to come over.
"Pour me a glass of hot water."
The waiter bent down and nodded, holding the cup and left.
After a while, he came over with a cup of steaming water.
"You can drink this." Yuan Yelin put the cup into her hand and touched her little hand.
Caroline took a sip, but frowned slightly, "It's not water."
Yuan Yelin came closer and smelled it, "It's...youma tea."
