Chapter 1076: The Cuckoo Occupies the Magpie's Nest 54
There was a hint of grievance on Xue Yi's face.
He was expressing his feelings seriously, but she didn't take it seriously and was even in the mood to drink soup. Is she a woman?
Could this be God's retribution to him?
Is this retribution for not taking women's confessions to him seriously in the past?
Xue Yi's mouth corners curved slightly, he picked up the soup and drank it in a gentle and elegant manner.
The pavilion fell into silence, with only the occasional clinking sound of the porcelain spoon hitting the bowl.
After drinking a bowl of soup, the waiter brought another plate of dumplings, which were ordered by Xue Jin. What Xue Yi missed most when he was abroad were the dumplings from China, so Xue Jin specially ordered the ones with mushroom and meat filling, which was his nephew's favorite.
Xue Yi picked up the serving chopsticks, picked up a dumpling and put it into Yuanchun's bowl. "I heard from my uncle that Chef Lu's dumplings have improved again. You should try some."
Yuanchun smiled and said, "I am a frequent visitor of Uncle Xue's place. I often eat the dumplings made by Chef Lu. But you have been abroad for several years. It is hard for you to eat dumplings. You should eat more."
"Well, you eat too."
Xue Yi saw Yuanchun eat the dumplings he picked up, and his originally gloomy mood became cheerful again, "Are you free tomorrow to accompany me to the street?"
"Okay."
After graduating from college, she also wanted to have a relationship to make her life more colorful.
Xue Yi raised his lips and said, "If we have enough time, we can go to the movies in the afternoon, and I'll treat you to roast duck in the evening. Besides dumplings, what I miss most when I'm abroad is roast duck."
Yuanchun nodded, "Then let's make it a deal. You treat me to roast duck tonight, and I treat you to hot pot at noon."
"It's a word."
"Well, it's a deal."
"I'll pick you up tomorrow morning. Where do you live?"
"I don't want to leave here. Do you know where the Hulu Alley is?"
"Yes, I have a classmate who lives nearby and has been there several times before."
"Go into Hulu Alley, the third house on the right is my home."
"Okay, I'll pick you up at nine tomorrow."
"Well, that's it."
"You are too thin, eat more."
"I have some flesh on my body, so I look thin when I wear clothes. I'm not actually thin, I just have a small frame, so I look thin."
"You look good like this."
"Don't praise me anymore. If you praise me again, I'll get carried away."
She was very shy when being praised by a handsome guy.
The two of them talked while eating, and it seemed like they had a lot to talk about, but in fact, neither of them liked to talk much, and what they said was very meaningless, but they enjoyed it.
After dinner, Xue Yi suggested taking a walk in a nearby park. Since Yuanchun wanted to fall in love, she readily agreed.
When Xue Jin came out, slightly tipsy, the two had already left. The dishes on the table had not been eaten much, except for the plate of dumplings and mushroom and pork rib soup.
Xue Jin asked a few waiters to pack up the food for them to take home.
The waitresses didn't mind that these dishes were the leftovers of Yuanchun and her friend. They happily borrowed large enamel bowls from the restaurant and each served a few dishes.
Yuanchun and Xue Yi walked around the small park, and both sides had a pretty good understanding of each other's situation.
Xue Yi's situation is similar to Yuanchun's, both of them have no father or mother, and he is the only one left in the family. Oh, no, he also has a kind and righteous uncle.
Unlike Yuanchun, although she has her grandmother and uncle around, they are both evil people and they can't wait to eat her blood buns.
Xue Yi calmly recounted his childhood memories, "When I was three years old, my mother died of illness. In order to feed me, my father caught frogs in the fields, picked elm seeds from the trees, and dug up loaches in the mud ditches... My father brought me everything edible."
