Chapter 89 Roast Duck
We are all of similar age, and are not only classmates but also roommates. We all have a good impression of each other when we meet for the first time.
"I'm so sorry, you two. I have something to do and have to leave for a while. I will be back later." After chatting for a while, more than an hour passed quickly, and Song Yuanchao stood up and said apologetically.
"Yuan Chao, you..." Cheng Mengshan was a little puzzled. Why did Song Yuan Chao suddenly want to leave when they were chatting happily? Where was he going? Wasn't the floor where they were sitting the dormitory? Where else could he go when he just arrived?
"Go ahead, go ahead, and say hello to the senior sister for us. By the way, tell her to let the classmates in her dormitory have a party with ours next time!" Sun Yaoliang laughed and winked at Song Yuanchao.
Cheng Mengshan suddenly realized and laughed. Song Yuanchao agreed happily, waved his hand and went out.
After leaving the dormitory, Song Yuanchao walked along the path in front and soon arrived at the place where he had an appointment with Lin Yan.
After waiting for a few minutes, Lin Yan appeared in front of Song Yuanchao. Song Yuanchao looked at Lin Yan with a smile as she walked closer and closer to him, his heart filled with incomparable joy.
"Am I not late?" Walking in a hurry, Lin Yan reached up to Song Yuanchao, smoothed her long hair by her ear, and asked with a smile.
"I arrived early." Song Yuanchao replied with a smile, and at the same time reached out to wipe away a few drops of sweat from Lin Yan's forehead.
"You did this on purpose today, didn't you?" Feeling Song Yuanchao's fingers gently stroking her forehead, Lin Yan smiled brightly. She looked up at Song Yuanchao and asked with a smile.
"Here's a surprise for you, do you like it?"
Lin Yan did not answer, but still looked at Song Yuanchao with a beautiful smile.
"Where's Xiaoyun?"
"She said she was a little tired from the journey, so she won't bother us today."
"This girl..." Song Yuanchao laughed: "Let's go. We agreed before that you will lead the way when I arrive in Yanjing."
"Okay, let's go!" Lin Yan nodded, and the two of them walked towards the school gate. Along the way, they met many classmates who knew Lin Yan. Most of these classmates had never seen Song Yuanchao. When they saw Lin Yan walking with a strange man today, and both of them had smiles on their faces that came from the heart, they were extremely surprised.
Song Yuanchao, however, was very open and did not seem to be shy about this situation. On the contrary, when other people greeted Lin Yan, Song Yuanchao would take the initiative to greet them and point out his identity.
The two left the campus and took a bus. They got off after a few stops, walked for a while, and followed Lin Yan to a small restaurant.
This is an inconspicuous place. The old storefront has lost its early glory, and the words on the plaque hanging on the door are unclear, but this store's business is really good. The whole street is filled with the aroma of roast duck.
"This is an old store. Although it's not as famous as Quanjude and Bianyifang, many people in Old Yanjing know about it. It has been doing good business since I was a child. It was closed for a long time a few years ago and just reopened at the beginning of this year."
Lin Yan introduced this old shop to Song Yuanchao. Song Yuanchao nodded, and the two walked in.
The store is not big, only about 30 square meters, and half of it is occupied by customers queuing up to buy freshly baked roast duck.
Lin Yan did not stay in the store for long. She led Song Yuanchao straight through the store to the backyard. At this time, a chef in a white coat came out. Seeing Lin Yan from a distance, he smiled and greeted her: "Yanzi, you are a rare guest. You haven't been here for a long time!"
As he spoke, he saw Song Yuanchao beside Lin Yan, took a look at him and asked with a smile: "Are you bringing friends here to eat roast duck today?"
"Hello, Master Wang. This is my boyfriend, Song Yuanchao." Lin Yan asked Song Yuanchao to introduce him. "This is Master Wang . Master Wang's skill in roasting duck is inherited from his ancestors. His ancestors were even imperial chefs. My father often brought me here when I was a child. At that time, Master Wang's father, Grandpa Wang, was still around."
Master Wang immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, time flies by so fast. In the blink of an eye, the little girl has grown into a grown-up girl, and now she even has a boyfriend."
"Hello, Master Wang. I am Yan Zi's boyfriend, Song Yuanchao. This is my first time here. I am really sorry to bother you." Song Yuanchao came forward to greet Master Wang. Master Wang said cheerfully that it was no trouble. Isn't his job as a cook to welcome guests? It was a blessing for them to come.
Master Wang asked Lin Yan how to arrange it. Lin Yan smiled and said that the old rules would be fine. Song Yuanchao was from Shanghai and this was his first time to come to Yanjing. He had never eaten the roast duck here, so she brought Song Yuanchao here today specifically to try it.
After hearing this, Master Wang immediately explained with a smile, and took Lin Yan and Song Yuanchao into a small house in the south, served a pot of jasmine tea, and asked them to wait while he went to make arrangements.
After saying thank you, Master Wang turned and left, leaving Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan alone in the room.
"swallow……"
Song Yuanchao took the hand of Lin Yan beside him, and at this time Lin Yan slightly tilted her body and gently leaned on Song Yuanchao's chest.
Feeling the body trembling slightly and the familiar fragrance, Song Yuanchao felt as if he was in a dream at this moment. He closed his eyes subconsciously, afraid that all this was just like a dream he had had before. When he opened his eyes again, all the dreams would burst like colorful soap bubbles.
The softness of the tentacles and the fragrance so close told Song Yuanchao that all this was real, Lin Yan was in his arms, and the dream was no longer a dream.
After an unknown amount of time, Song Yuanchao opened his eyes and looked down at Lin Yan in his arms.
At this moment, the two looked into each other's eyes and smiled sweetly at the same time.
I can’t bear to let go. I really hope time can freeze and let this moment last forever.
They finally separated reluctantly, each straightened their clothes and sat down, because in this era even lovers are relatively reserved, just like how they were walking together just now, although they were close to each other, there was no physical contact, because for a man and a woman to walk hand in hand on the street is simply hooliganism in the current social atmosphere.
"I'm sorry..." Lin Yan said suddenly, biting her lips.
Song Yuanchao looked at Lin Yan with a puzzled expression, not quite understanding her apology.
"I didn't tell you about Zhao Minglei. Actually, he and I..."
Before Lin Yan finished speaking, Song Yuanchao laughed: "Silly girl, I thought it was something else. My Yan Zi is so outstanding, of course she will have admirers and pursuers. If there is no Zhao Minglei, there will be Zhang Minglei and Li Minglei. Besides, the key lies in what your heart thinks. If you have your own thoughts, what's the point of saying these things? So don't say sorry for others. If you really have to say this, I think I should say it. I'm sorry Yan Zi, I'm late..."
"Aid Korea..."
There were tears in Lin Yan's eyes, but a bright smile on her face.
This was her happiest day, as the lover she had been thinking about day and night finally came to her side. At this time, Song Yuanchao was also in the same mood.
Chef Wang's dishes came out quite quickly, and he soon brought half a roast duck and a few side dishes.
I have to admit that Lin Yan was right, the roast duck here tastes excellent. Song Yuanchao in later generations had tasted Quanjude and Bianyifang, but compared to these two, Master Wang's roast duck seems to be even better.
Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan talked while eating. They had been separated for too long and had a lot to tell each other, even though they had exchanged letters before.
Lin Yan felt a little confused about Song Yuanchao's sudden change of mind, which led to his decision to take the college entrance examination and his admission to Imperial University of Peking. She couldn't help but ask Song Yuanchao this question.
Song Yuanchao replied with a smile, and told Lin Yan that he had made a promise back then, and since it was a promise he must fulfill it, just like he said when they met again before, although he came late, he still came.
Hearing this answer, Lin Yan was happiness, but she also felt a little sorry that Song Yuanchao had given up her job. In this regard, Song Yuanchao told her not to worry, because although she went to college, she still retained her position in the factory, and if possible, she could continue to work after graduating from college, or be reassigned.
