Su Yi was so frightened that she dared not move and was carried obediently by him out of the cool alley.
The two of them arrived at a noodle shop in the alley. Su Yi turned his head to look at the dog in the distance. Seeing that it didn't follow, he jumped down from behind Lan Fuchu, put his hands behind his back, and looked leisurely and calm again. "Little Dabi, what do you want to eat? I'll treat you."
"..." This girl, she gets scared when she sees a big dog, but she becomes a carefree tomboy when she is away from the dog. Lan Fuchu straightened out the clothes that had just been wrinkled by her, said nothing, and walked into the noodle shop.
"I'm hungry." Su Yi followed in, her voice soft and sticky with a coquettish nasal tone.
Lan Fuchu looked at her strangely and said calmly, "What do you want to eat?"
Su Yi took the menu and looked over it again and again. "The hot and sour fish noodles and beef noodles look so tempting."
"All of them."
Su Yi was stunned for a moment, then the look in her big eyes became kind, "You didn't say I ordered so much?"
Such people must be spreading the message that "waste is shameful".
"No talk." He said calmly and ordered himself a plate of spaghetti with meat sauce.
Su Yi asked: "Do you prefer Western food?"
"Yeah, I'm more used to it."
More adapted? Su Yi chewed on this sentence again and again, feeling a little strange. What does it mean to be somewhat adapted? Is it that he is not used to the noodles of his own country? Does it mean that he does not like to eat traditional noodles
The noodles were served. Su Yi rolled up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. The hot and spicy noodles tasted very refreshing.
She slurped the noodles, with some chili sauce on her lips.
But Lan Fuchu was very quiet, rolling the noodles with knife and fork, politely and without making any sound.
Su Yi glanced at him and said with a smile, "Is it necessary to eat so elegantly?"
"It's polite." He said this, but didn't say a word to dislike the way she ate.
"Okay." She smacked her lips and slowed down her eating speed. After a while, she said, "Hey, little idiot, your noodles look delicious. Give me a bite."
Before Lan Fuchu could react, he reached in with his chopsticks, took a mouthful of pasta, and put it into his mouth. It was chewy and smooth. "Hmm... your pasta is delicious too."
Lan Fuchu raised his eyes to look at her and smiled with a mischievous smile in his eyes.
He suddenly reached out his hand and gently wiped the chili sauce off the corner of her lips with his fingertips, his eyes full of doting, "You've eaten it all in your mouth."
Su Yi pursed her lips and then ate the noodles even louder, slurping, as if she was deliberately showing off in front of him.
Lan Fuchu couldn't help but laugh, "You're eating noodles so loudly, do you want the whole store to pay attention to you?"
"Then let them pay attention to me." Su Yi laughed happily, her face flushed. "Anyway, wherever I go, I am the focus of everyone's attention. I have become indifferent to it."
"Shameless indeed."
"Haha." Su Yi finished laughing and said, "A-choo!"
Rubbing his nose, clear snot came out. Lan Fuchu handed him a white tissue and said with concern, "Do you have a cold?"
"wonder if it is or not."
"Then after dinner, shall we go back to the hotel and rest?"
"No, I'm going to buy some souvenirs."
"What souvenirs?"
"It's a New Year's gift for Laotie and Jiayi."
“Buy it when you wake up.”
"No, let's buy it today. I guess we won't have time later." Su Yi's stubbornness made Lan Fuchu frown slightly.
"Or I can buy it for you."
"No, I don't trust your judgment."
Lan Fuchu: “…”
Didn't you say he had good taste last night
"Then if it gets serious in the afternoon, we need to go buy some medicine." In the end, he was the one who compromised. As for Su Yi, he could always give in again and again. He didn't know why, but he was willing to give in to her and indulge her. Seeing her happy made him happy.
"Okay." Su Yi responded.
In the afternoon, the two took a taxi to the central street.
There are some older grey arcades with glass display windows filled with antiques, pearls, souvenirs, drinks, restaurants, old photos, and handicrafts, all covering the entire street, with a wide variety of items to choose from.
Su Yi was buying gifts in a boutique and her cold got worse, with a runny nose.
Lan Fuchu stood behind her and watched her wipe her nose with a tissue, and said, "I'll go to the store next door to check."
"Okay." Su Yi responded, stuffed the tissue he had used into the small garbage bag he brought with him, and continued to pick souvenirs.
Lan Fuchu left.
About twenty minutes later, as Su Yi looked around, he finally came back with a bag of medicine in his hand. He handed Su Yi a mask and said, "Wear a mask. It will help to isolate your runny nose from the air."
Without waiting for Su Yi's reaction, he put the mask on her face and stuffed the medicine into her bag. "After shopping, find a place to take the medicine."
The boy's concern made Su Yi's heart tremble slightly, but her eyes were calm. After a while, she sniffed and curved her beautiful eyes, "Okay, let's eat later."
Lan Fuchu came back behind her, still looking calm and peaceful.
But when she glanced to the side, she could see the white figure out of the corner of her eye, and she felt at ease and warm.
Picking up a black wallet, Su Yi turned around, stuffed it into his arms, and said with a smile: "Thank you for buying medicine for me. This is for you."
The boy lowered his eyes to look at the pure black wallet in his hand, and suddenly smiled faintly, "Okay."
Su Yi wanted to tease him, so she deliberately said, "Didn't you steal my photos this morning? Now that I have the wallet, I can frame them when I go back home tonight."
The boy didn't say anything, but his fair ears gradually turned slightly red.
Su Yi found him very amusing and laughed out loud.
After paying the bill, the two left the boutique. Su Yi's loot consisted of two large bags, which Lan Fuchu carried for her.
Passing by a beverage store, Lan Fuchu stopped and said, "Let's go in and sit down."
Su Yi turned his head and took a look at the environment inside. It was quite nice, quiet, and the light was soft, so he said, "Okay."
Sitting casually at a seat by the window, Lan Fuchu wanted to order a drink but did not ask Su Yi what he wanted. She tilted her head and thought: Xiao Dai didn't ask her what she wanted to drink, so what was he going to order later
A moment later, Lan Fuchu came back with a tray containing a cup of fragrant coffee and a cup of hot water.
"You can take your medicine now." Lan Fuchu sat down and pushed the hot water towards her.
Su Yi was stunned for a few seconds before she realized that Xiao Dai was keeping track of the time and asking her to take medicine.
Su Yi didn't say yes or no. She took out a few pills from her schoolbag, opened a few according to the instructions, put them in her mouth, mixed them with hot water and drank them. Then she smiled and said, "I've finished the medicine. Can I have a cup of iced green tea?"
"No." The meaning is concise and to the point.
Su Yi was dissatisfied, "Why? I have taken the medicine."
"No reason. You can't drink cold drinks when you have a cold. You should drink more hot water. If you think one cup of hot water is not enough, I will go get another cup for you later."
"But I don't think my cold is serious."
"Even if it's not serious, you can't drink it until you are fully recovered."
Su Yi curled her lips slightly, leaned back on the cushion, took out her cell phone to play, and ignored him.
Humph, it's really boring to hang out with decent and serious people. They are not allowed to do this or that. It's so restrictive and uncomfortable.
"I've told you before that traveling can reveal a person's character. So before a man and a woman get married, they must go on a trip with their significant other. What is a man's true face? It will be exposed immediately during a trip." At the next table, a woman in bright clothes was persuading another woman with tears on her face.
The tear-stained woman held a cup in her hand and nodded, "Sister, you are right, that man is a bastard. He brought me here to play and asked me to sleep with him. I disagreed, so he just threw me on the street and left. Fortunately, you came to pick me up, otherwise I don’t know what to do."
"This man is worse than an animal. He asked a girl out, but when she didn't sleep with him, he just dumped her and left. I guess he's not looking for a girlfriend, just a sleeping companion." The sister looked at the girl opposite and said, "I'm telling you, when you get home this time, you're not allowed to have any contact with him. What kind of person is this? He has a bad character and he's trying to find a girlfriend like others. This kind of person should be put in a pig cage..."
"Well, I won't contact him again, sister, don't worry."
After hearing this, Su Yi raised her eyelashes and glanced at Lan Fuchu, then said with a smile: "How can there be such a man? He took a girl to a strange city for a trip, and then just abandoned her on the side of the road because she refused to sleep with him? He should at least send the girl to the station or airport, right?"
"There are many people like this." Lan Fuchu commented.
"Really?"
"Um."
"Then I haven't seen it yet." Su Yi tilted his head and smiled, "It seems that I am really lucky. I have never met a scumbag."
Lan Fuchu thought for a moment and said, "According to what Mu Nanxi said, it's because you have a ruthless ability to destroy flowers, so scumbags don't dare to get close to you."
The second update will be before 6pm. It will be late today, muah!
