Hmm… Chen Kee Beef Noodle House…
That’s it! !
Chu Xia crossed the road and rushed into the beef noodle restaurant at a flying speed.
"Boss, give him a bowl of beef noodles, put more coriander instead of green onions, put more beef instead of noodles!!" Chu Xia found a seat and just walked east, shouting at the boss.
"What!?" The boss behind the counter looked at her with a surprised expression.
"Ahem...did he say that more coriander should be used instead of green onions, and more beef should be used instead of spicy?" Chu Xia blushed and quickly corrected herself.
"Okay, girl, twenty-five yuan, please pay me first." The chubby boss said to Chu Xia with a smile.
“…”
After paying the money, Chu Xia walked around in front of the table again, looking around boredly.
Because it was already the peak period for business trips, the entire beef noodle restaurant was overcrowded in just a short period of time after she came back from the east.
At the table in front of her, there was a young couple. The two of them walked together clinging to each other, lowering their heads to whisper from time to time, and chirping at the same time. Chu Xia felt blushing at the sight, so she quickly averted her gaze.
At the table on her right, there were two middle-aged migrant workers. They must have finished their work for the day and came over to have something to eat.
The person walking on her left was an old woman leading a little boy. She was probably coming by after school.
Chu Xia's eyes wandered around the noodle shop, and finally stopped at a table far away from her.
The table was at the very back of the noodle shop, against the wall. The man walking beside the table had his back to her wrong and his head lowered.
In that small noodle shop, most of the people were ordinary citizens dressed casually. There was a man at the far end who was wearing a crisp black suit, with his back straightened, and he was walking with a slim figure.
Judging from the back, the man seemed to be very thin, with short black hair sticking to his ears, revealing a section of his neck as red as jade.
Hmm... just looking at his back, I feel like he must be a handsome guy...
As Chu Xia was thinking about it, the landlady came over with a bowl of steaming beef noodles, put it on the table in front of her and said, "Little girl, my noodles are here."
"Okay, thank you, boss lady." Chu Xia came to his senses, took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder on the table, put them in the noodle soup, heated them, and started eating.
The fragrant noodles mixed with the hot soup reached Chu Xia's belly, finally giving her a strong feeling of satisfaction.
After finishing a bowl of noodles, Chu Xia contentedly pulled off the tissue paper on the table, wiped his mouth, and then glanced at the table in the distance, only to find that the handsome guy had already eaten the noodles and was about to leave.
The moment he turned his head and stood up, Chu Xia was stunned.
That face…
She stared at that face for a long time, then stood up suddenly and followed the man out without saying a word.
The man walking in front didn't seem to notice that someone was following behind him, so he lowered his head and paid in a hurry, as if there was something important waiting for him.
And Chu Xia followed him cautiously, watching him turn into a dark alley.
There is a busy road outside, and a deep alley with no bottom inside.
Chu Xia hesitated for a while, as curiosity had defeated reason before.
