Ding Sha was startled and looked to the side. He saw a handsome man who looked young, gentle and elegant.
Seeing that he scared her, the man smiled embarrassedly and said, "Sorry for scaring you."
"Nothing," Ding Sha shook his head, thinking about what he just said, "Do you know Mr. Hu?"
"I think I know her." The man smiled without any emotion and looked up at the sign of the restaurant. "It's a restaurant..."
"Would you like to come in and sit for a while?" Ding Sha suggested, seeing that he looked unhappy.
"Okay," the man agreed happily, and followed Ding Sha in. He first saw the little Ping An held by Tong Saozi, and his expression softened, "It's a little baby."
"Yes, he's my son." Ding Sha greeted Xiao Ping'an with a smile, and Xiao Ping'an immediately smiled with two dimples.
"How cute." The man said with some envy.
"Would you like something to eat?" Ding Sha handed him the menu.
The man flipped through it and finally closed it. "What did Hu Zhilin and the others eat just now?"
Ding Sha hesitated for a moment, "Would you like to order the same?"
The man shook his head. "Just wanted to get some reference."
Ding Sha told him about the dishes. The man smiled and said, "I don't order those. I don't like sweet food. I like spicy food."
The man then ordered a dish of Maoxuewang.
"That's it. I don't have a big appetite, and it would be a waste if I ordered more."
Aunt Zhuang tore off the list and went into the kitchen. Ding Sha thought for a moment and poured him a cup of hot drink with red dates and milk. "Are you okay?"
The man uttered, "It's pretty good... huh."
Dingsha pushed the milk to him, "Want to talk? You look sad."
The man touched his face. "Is it so obvious?"
"A little bit. Maybe I'm more sensitive after giving birth to a baby," Ding Sha smiled.
"My name is Lin Jiayu," the man said slowly, "I know Hu Zhilin and Sun Yuzhu."
He just said this and then fell silent.
Ding Sha was a little curious but also knew that he shouldn't ask other people about their sad stories. When he was about to get up and leave, he heard Lin Jiayu speak.
"We've been together for a long time, since school days."
"We have a very good relationship and love each other very much. We never gave up on each other even in the most difficult times. I just didn't expect that it would seem a bit ironic now."
"It is said that it is easy to share adversity, but difficult to share wealth. I didn't believe it before, but now I think there is some truth in it."
Lin Jiayu still looked calm and composed, and his slow and gentle voice showed that he was a well-mannered person.
Even after knowing this embarrassing thing, she did not show any inappropriate expression, but just smiled at Ding Sha with red eyes.
Lin Jiayu laughed self-deprecatingly, "I won't say more. It's too cliché if I say too much. In fact, it's nothing more than a clichéd and melodramatic love story."
"When the lovers no longer love each other, the story of three people is never pretty."
Lin Jiayu exhaled, "I'm lucky that I know this news before it's too late. I'm not so foolish and ignorant as to live my life thinking I'm happy."
When Ding Sha heard this, he knew that Lin Jiayu did not need comfort or sympathy, but just needed some time to digest it.
He is a man who is gentle and strong enough at heart. He will not embarrass himself and get stuck in a dead end when faced with such an unbearable thing. Instead, he will break free from the quagmire and turn over as soon as possible.
Ding Sha began to admire him.
To be honest, if she encountered such a thing, she would probably be immersed in it in pain.
"Sorry, I talked too much." Lin Jiayu apologized with a smile.
Ding Sha shook her head, stood up and went to the kitchen. She tried to bake a cake in the morning. Although she failed several times, she was successful sometimes.
Dingsha brought out a mousse cake, which was the only one that could be made without baking.
"Please have some cake." Ding Sha put the cake in front of him.
"Thank you." Lin Jiayu did not refuse. Since he didn't like sweet food, perhaps he wanted to get a little comfort from dessert.
The Maoxuewang was served very quickly.
Lin Jiayu took out her phone to take a picture. "It looks great. It seems like I have found a great store in a blessing in disguise."
He picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of ham luncheon meat. "It's very fragrant and tender. I have never bought such luncheon meat on the market. Do you make it yourself?"
"Great," Ding Sha gave a thumbs up, "We made it ourselves. It contains chicken and beef, so the taste is quite amazing."
Lin Jiayu's interest was piqued. At first, she just wanted to know what the two people ate here, but she didn't expect to get such a pleasant surprise.
He picked up some tripe again. It was crispy and not overcooked at all. "The cooking time is really good."
I went to pick up a piece of duck blood. Unexpectedly, there are two kinds of duck blood here. One is the more common duck blood on the market. I picked up a piece. It was cooked well and was very spicy and fragrant.
There is another rarer kind, which is more common in hot pot restaurants in the south. It is an irregularly shaped cold pot of fresh duck blood.
It is tender and fragrant, and breaks into pieces easily with chopsticks. It tastes very fresh and smooth.
In addition, even the bean sprouts have not been mushy, and they are wonderfully flavorful and crispy.
Lin Jiayu couldn't stop moving her chopsticks.
His mouth was red from eating, and he finished the Maoxuewang very quickly, but he didn't eat much of the rice that was prepared on the side.
“You… can eat spicy food…” Ding Sha didn’t expect that he could eat so much spicy food. Her family uses specially bought Sichuan peppers to make this kind of Sichuan cuisine. When the spiciness gets high, most people will start to squeak and look for water after just a few bites.
On the contrary, Lin Jiayu looked calm and indifferent, but she was able to eat without stopping.
Ding Sha really admired him.
Lin Jiayu wiped her mouth and said, "It's really good. I think I will come again in the future."
He looked fully recovered, without any of the sadness and grief that was weighing on his nerves under the dark cloud.
Ding Sha was somewhat happy, "I'm glad you like it. You're welcome to come again next time."
Lin Jiayu started eating the small cake.
"The cake is delicious too." Lin Jiayu finally finished the cake.
"I hope if they sell cakes next time I come here, can I order a blueberry flavor?" Lin Jiayu asked, "I like blueberries very much."
"Of course." Ding Sha handed him a business card, "You can call me in advance."
Ding Sha couldn't help but want to treat him differently, because he looked like a precious young man, raised in wealth and gentle as jade.
How could anyone have the heart to hurt him
Ding Sha couldn't figure it out until Lin Jiayu walked away.
Xiao Jun came out and asked, "What's wrong? Who is that person?"
He was very jealous. Why did Ding Sha treat that person so differently
Ding Sha glanced at him, and for some reason, he suddenly felt unhappy. He glared at him and asked, "Why do you care so much?"
Xiao Jun: “…”
What’s wrong with me…?
