Chapter 3: Feeling Good 4
The night breeze was cool, blowing the willow leaves on the treetops. The bustling night market was filled with people, and the smell of delicious food was everywhere.
"I didn't expect you would bring me to a roadside stall for a midnight snack." Weekend put on Han Shao's coat and followed him closely. "I thought you would definitely go to some high-end Western restaurant."
After all, Han Shao's temperament is always that of a cold and aloof nobleman, which is really incompatible with this kind of small market.
After just spending time together on the tennis court, the two of them became much more familiar with each other, and I was no longer nervous facing him on the weekend.
"Lu Xiao said you like roadside stalls." Han Shao chuckled and glanced at her, then said, "If you want to go to a western restaurant, we can go there now."
"No, I still like it here." Weekend quickly refused.
Although the atmosphere and food in the Western restaurant are very good, it always feels a little lacking in the flavor of the world compared to the roadside stalls.
She looked back again, and seeing how Han Shao's sports car was out of place among the ordinary people on the street, she couldn't help but laugh.
This is a night market near the tennis court. After playing tennis and exhausting their energy, they wanted to find a place to have some midnight snack.
Although Han Shao knew this place, it seemed like this was her first time here. She was a frequent visitor to the night market on weekends, and it was the same at all night markets around the world, so she took the initiative to act as a guide, explaining to the man beside her as they walked: "This is called fried stew, and that is 'fried fried fried'. There seems to be crayfish in the front, do you... want to eat any?"
Because she was afraid that Han Shao would not be able to get used to the food at the roadside stalls, she asked for his opinion first.
"I eat whatever you eat. I'm a man, not that delicate. You don't have to consider me." Han Shao said, and stretched out his hand to pull her to him. There were many people in the night market, and he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable. This was the only thing he cared about.
Weekend didn't pay attention to his actions, swallowed her saliva, and said, "Why don't we eat crayfish? It's the season now, and the crayfish should be plump and delicious." Besides, the crayfish at the night market are the most delicious!
Han Shao nodded, followed her and protected her.
The shop selling spicy crayfish was very popular, and when they arrived, there were only two sets of tables and chairs left in the open-air store.
Han Shao chose a seat away from other people, first wiped the chair carefully with a tissue, then wiped the table, and then sat down with peace of mind.
The proprietress enthusiastically brought the menu and greeted them: "Hey, you two are new faces. Is this your first time eating with us? How is it? How many pounds of crayfish do you want? We have three pounds, five pounds, and ten pounds."
Weekend was just about to ask Han Shao for his opinion when he heard him say calmly, "Ten pounds."
weekend:"……"
"Okay!" The lady boss quickly gave instructions to the kitchen staff and said with a smile, "It's a rare opportunity for a handsome guy to come. I'll take charge of this bill and give you half off!"
I stared at the weekend, this is possible? And it can also be used for face recognition?
Han Shao thanked her and watched the lady boss leave. He then turned his gaze to the surprised Weekend and said jokingly, "It's a good deal, right? So would you consider taking me out for dinner more often in the future?"
Weekend coughed twice, not knowing how to respond to his suggestion, so she had to change the subject: "Well... we can't finish ten kilograms of crayfish?"
"It's okay." Han Shao blinked. "If you can't finish it, just pack it up and give it back to Lu Xiao. She will definitely be able to finish it."
Weekend smiled awkwardly and thought that in some ways, this pair of cousins were really... very similar.
The moonlight hung lonely and cold in the darkness, casting a hazy glow over the path leading to the dormitory.
Weekend walked side by side with Han Shao and stole a glance at the seven pounds of crayfish in the other's hand. She felt a little regretful that there were still so many left.
Although she likes to eat, she actually has a small appetite. And Han Shao seems to prefer peeling for her to eat rather than eating it himself? Although she protested strongly, he still did it... So, the rest can only be brought back to Lu Xiao.
I don’t know if these seven pounds of crayfish can soothe Lu Xiao’s heart after he was deceived into a blind date with seven young talents.
It is already ten o'clock in the evening and the dormitory curfew is approaching. Only two floors of the dormitory building still have their lights on.
Weekend stood at the door of the dormitory, took off the coat he was wearing, handed it to Han Shao, and thanked him sincerely: " Well...thank you for tonight. Not only did you teach me how to play tennis, but you also treated me to delicious crayfish."
Han Shao put the clothes back on her and whispered, "It's cold at night, put it on, and don't rush to return it to me."
"But..." Weekend pinched the corner of his clothes, "It's only a few steps away anyway, I won't catch a cold if I run up."
"Then consider it as an excuse for the next meeting I made without your permission." Han Shao's eyebrows were relaxed, and he looked particularly gentle standing under the light. Then, he urged softly, "Go up, Lu Xiao should have come back."
Weekend thought about it, said "hmm", and took the packaged crayfish from the other person's hand.
Today's meeting with Han Shao has greatly changed her impression of him. Therefore, compared with her previous vigilance and retreat, she seems to be more accepting and willing to get along well with him.
Weekend turned around and was about to go upstairs when she heard him suddenly call her name: "Weekend!"
Weekend stopped and turned to look at Han Shao. He exhaled softly and said to her softly, "Good night."
The man's face was extremely serious and gentle, and Weekend's heart began to beat wildly. She quickly said "hmm", turned around and ran up, her face inexplicably flushed.
What a flirt, Weekend thought, patting her face and going into the dormitory, sure enough, Lu Xiao had come back. Seeing her crayfish, Lu Xiao screamed, asking how he knew she didn't eat enough tonight.
I gave her the crayfish on the weekend and called some classmates from the dormitory next door to eat together. The girls laughed and laughed and quickly finished most of the meal.
I took a bath on the weekend, sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the bright moon in the clear night sky outside the window, and a smile appeared on the corners of my lips.
