"Lin'er, what do you think of me?" Yi Ming suddenly said. He actually wanted to say that Lin'er can be my girlfriend, okay? But he didn't dare say so. He wasn't a timid person, but he cowered in front of her. He was afraid that if he asked her that question, he wouldn't even be able to do it as a friend. He didn't want to lose her, and he also didn't want to lose any chance of getting along with her. After considering the pros and cons, he still chose to approach her heart step by step.
"Huh?" The person who was suddenly asked didn't know how to react all of a sudden. Eh, I think you're a decent person! It's just that he's too narcissistic and does things his own way. "And …" Bai Lin rolled her eyes craftily and deliberately dragged them behind her.
"What is it?" Yi Ming asked anxiously. He didn't care what others thought of him, but he cared a lot about what Bai Lin thought of him, because she was someone he loved and he didn't want her to have any bad impressions of him.
"That's right …" "It's just gone, hahaha …" Then she made a face at him and ran away.
Those who reacted immediately chased after her: "Okay! How dare you tease me. Let's see how I'll deal with you once I catch you. "
"Come! Come on! " Bai Lin made a face at Yi Ming as she ran. She felt very happy when she was together with him, not only because they were very compatible, but also because the two of them got along very easily and without any pressure. Perhaps she was treating him as Lan Yan. When she was with him, she didn't need to be suspicious nor did she need to disguise herself. All she needed to do was to be good at herself.
"Bai Lin?" Xia Xue looked at the two people, one running and one chasing, and shouted uncertainly. She felt that his back was very familiar, but how could Bai Lin wear such high-end clothes? It could be that he was seeing things. Just as she was thinking of this, a turn of Bai Lin's body broke her train of thoughts …
"Who called me?" It sounded like someone was calling for her. She turned around, but she didn't see anyone. Impossible? "Could it be an illusion?" Yi Ming, did you hear someone call me? " Bai Lin looked at the person who had caught up to her and asked.
"No!" Did you hear wrongly? " Yi Ming replied in confusion. In fact, it wasn't that he didn't hear her, he heard her and even saw her. But since she didn't want to come out, he didn't force her, not to mention that he didn't like being disturbed while he was alone with Bai Lin.
"Is that so? That may have been a mistake. " Although she said so, she still looked over her shoulder as she walked.
"Let's go!" No one. You must have heard wrong. You must be tired after wandering for an entire afternoon, right? "Come, let's go eat something." Naturally, Yi Ming held Bai Lin's hand and walked towards the restaurant. He was still conflicted over whether the person who said "hallucinating" had let him go.
Xia Xue saw the two people holding hands and hated them to the point that her teeth itched with hate. What a pretentious slut, she even said she was an ordinary friend. An ordinary friend would go shopping together, how could she still hold hands? Xia Xue resentfully looked at the white figure walking away. If looks could kill, then Bai Lin's body would be in tatters.
"Lin'er, what are you thinking about? "Lin'er, Lin'er." Yi Ming called out a few more times as he saw no one respond, but the other side didn't seem to hear him and still didn't respond.
"Lin'er."
"Ah!" "It hurts." The person who only recovered from the shock exclaimed once. You want to kill me! "With such strength." Bai Lin rubbed her aching head and complained.
"Who told you not to respond after being called upon for so long? You've been staring at the back of my head like that ever since, what are you thinking about?" Yi Ming asked as he looked at the people complaining.
"It's nothing. I just feel like someone in front is really calling for me. I keep feeling like there's someone behind us." Bai Lin voiced out her doubts. Ever since she heard no one call her, she felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her from the back. This feeling really made her uncomfortable.
"Did you think too much into it? Do you think that acting the part of a gangster would allow you to assassinate him?" Yi Ming looked at the people who were still looking around in amusement.
"Fuck you, why isn't the food coming up yet? I'm starving." While she was saying that, the waiter came back with some food. Although this was a western restaurant, the waiter brought out some rice, not steak or pasta, but rice, her favorite chicken, beef mince, red braised pork, a plate of vegetables, and a seaweed egg soup.
Bai Lin looked at the dishes that were being served and was puzzled. Would the western cuisine be served? Aren't Western restaurants full of steaks, pasta, salads, and the like?
"Don't even think about it. I made them prepare this especially for you. This kind of treatment can only be seen here. Even though this restaurant isn't big or luxurious, the taste is quite good. Come and try it." "Because the environment here is elegant and quiet, I like to come here when I'm alone." Yi Ming calmly said. He had brought her here because he wanted her to slowly understand him and integrate into his life. This allowed her to accept herself quickly.
"So you're a regular customer here. No wonder I didn't know you knew so well." "Mhmm," Bai Lin nodded clearly after hearing his explanation. He was truly a person who enjoyed life. The environment here was indeed very clean. Although the decorations were not luxurious, they gave people a warm and elegant feeling. I think the owner of this restaurant must be a man of great taste. " "Bai Lin praised.
"Of course! "Let's see who opened it." Yi Ming said proudly. It seemed that she had good eyesight and knew how to appreciate things.
"I'm not praising you, so why are you so proud?" Bai Lin said in disdain.
"You really don't have good eyesight. I just sat here and heard a beauty praise me for having good taste. Don't tell me you think I should feel inferior?" Yi Ming said with a bit of grievance. Did she think she was that bad? Did she not have any taste? It seemed like he would have to let her experience his abilities. Otherwise, she wouldn't have a whole new level of respect for him.
"Cough, cough, cough." Bai Lin quickly swallowed a large mouthful of saliva and knocked the thing that was stuck in her throat down. "Do you have such good taste? Why didn't I see it? There's more! "Next time, when I am eating and drinking water, I will not be so quiet that I would become an overnight celebrity. If I am choked to death by you when I drink water, will you be able to pay me back when I choke to death when I eat?" For the sake of her life, she had to remind him that if he did this often, his lifespan would be shortened.
"You're not allowed to talk about death. If you dare to talk about death, then give it a try." Yi Ming looked unhappily at the overbearing threats of the people eating their meals. He didn't like hearing her talk about death. It made him feel like she could leave him at any time. The feeling of having no control over himself made him feel very uncomfortable.
"You …" Why are you so overbearing? Didn't I tell you not to speak such shocking words! But just as she said that, the rest of her words were stuffed into her mouth by the chicken leg he gave her.
"Hurry up and eat, it will become cold if you don't eat anymore. "If you're full, then let's go!" He didn't want to hear anything more from her that he didn't like to hear.
"No, I'm not full yet!" Why don't you eat it? Aren't you hungry? It would be a waste if he didn't eat! "Hurry up and give it to her." Bai Lin said with a pity as she filled Yi Ming's bowl with food. Seeing that they were eating with relish, he also lost his appetite. In a short while, the two of them finished off all the dishes.
"Phew!" I'm so full, I'm full now, it's not early, I should go home. This is your territory, do your best to show your hospitality, and treat me to a meal. " Bai Lin said naughtily to Yi Ming while wiping her mouth. She could say this because she knew that Yi Ming definitely wouldn't accept his money. Besides, his business was good here, so he must have earned a lot of money. He also cared about this meal's money.
"Wait for me to send you back!" It's dangerous for a girl to be alone at night. " Yi Ming didn't give Bai Lin a chance to resist and held her hand as they walked out.
Bai Lin struggled a few times, but her strength was too small and she couldn't break free. The more she struggled, the tighter his grip became. In the end, she just let him go. She wouldn't lose her hand anyways.
"Yi Ming, what exactly are you doing? Why do I feel like you're so mysterious? Oh right, take today's dress money as if I lent it to you. From today on, I will repay it in instalments. "Don't worry, I won't take your things for nothing." Bai Lin seemed to have thought of something.
"Since I've given it to you, it's yours. I never wanted you to pay me back for it. Why are we being so polite when we're already so familiar with each other? If you keep doing this, I'll really get angry. "
"Alright, alright, alright. I won't say anymore!"
When she heard him say that he was going to get angry, she suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. It was as if she was reluctant to part with him, afraid, and heartbroken. This feeling made her very conflicted, but she did not reveal it.
The people following them out of the restaurant, looking at the two intimate people, made her suddenly feel like a fool to believe what she was saying, to believe that they were ordinary friends. Xia Xue, Xia Xue, you are a fool, Bai Lin, you will pay for what you have done. Xia Xue resentfully looked at the two people walking away and silently swore.
