Qin Yizhao lowered his head, both hands grabbing onto Zhu Ruiyan's back. He placed his head on Zhu Ruiyan's shoulder, exhaled into her ear, and said in a clear voice, "I will do everything I've said before. If you don't say goodbye, I will definitely stay with you.
Zhu Ruiyan raised her head and stared at the person in front of her. Looking at the person who stood so close yet so far away, with such a resolute look, yet filled with gentleness, she knew that he trusted her words.
Zhu Ruiyan said softly, "If you say that you want to part ways, then I will let go of you too."
Qin Yizhao felt that this woman was not willing to be at a disadvantage in this regard.
"Let's go eat." Qin Yizhao mentioned.
"Then go back."
"We're not going home to eat."
"Uh, you still have flowers on your face." Zhu Ruiyan reminded her.
"Who cares about him? There's no rule that says there's a flower on one's face and one can't go out to eat."
Then, Qin Yizhao brought Zhu Ruiyan to a restaurant. It was a very luxurious place, but the receptionist saw Qin Yizhao's face and her expression was very strange. After seeing Qin Yizhao take out the card, her attitude was very good, and led them to a relatively good location.
The tablecloth on the table was a small square, and the tableware was very bright. There was a vase in the middle with a rose in it, and a sofa on both sides. There was a stage in the middle of the hall with a band performing on the spot.
It was probably not the peak time yet, so there were only a few customers.
They were positioned in a similar position to a seating area, separated from each other by a wall of plants.
After Qin Yizhao invited Zhu Ruiyan to sit, he sat opposite of him. He asked Zhu Ruiyan, "How many would you like?"
Zhu Ruiyan said in a low voice, "This place is for Western cuisine, I don't order much."
The waiter came over with a serving tray, "Hello, may I ask what you two would like to eat?"
Qin Yizhao wanted to tell the lady to order the dishes, but he was unable to let go of it right now. He didn't know what kind of feeling he was in at the bottom of his heart, but at his age, he had never been to a Western restaurant before. The waiter was still waiting, so he had to order a few. "One chocolate, two pasta, one bacon, and one curry chicken."
When Zhu Ruiyan and the rest left, she said in shock, "There's so many things, there's only two of us."
"This is western cuisine. It's not heavy." Qin Yizhao explained.
Zhu Ruiyan still asked, "Spend a lot of money?"
Qin Yizhao's eyes were filled with surprise, she really could ruin the atmosphere. To ask for a price in this kind of place, he did not even know how to reply, only that he was interested, the injuries on his face could ruin the atmosphere.
He said to Zhu Ruiyan, "Yanyan, we don't care about the price."
Zhu Ruiyan paused for a moment, then laughed: "Alright, then tell me, how much money did you spend?"
"Not bad." Qin Yizhao did not directly reply.
Zhu Ruiyan looked at him and said in disdain, "Who said last time that the food outside was filled with oil and it could not be eaten, and now they are eating from the outside."
Qin Yizhao was speechless, her hands supporting his on the table, the two people's hands were holding onto each other's hands on the table. Zhu Ruiyan's hands were warm, Qin Yizhao's hands were cold, Qin Yizhao looked at him with eyes as gentle as black obsidian, their hands tightly clenched for a long time, without loosening their grip, "Yanyan, don't ruin the atmosphere."
Zhu Ruiyan looked at him in a daze, "I don't want to live in a hypocritical manner, I really don't understand. I just honestly admit it, my mother once told me that Western cuisine has many forms of etiquette, I don't want to be bound by so many rules.
Qin Yizhao was a little shocked, "Your mother told you? Does she know about old-fashioned etiquette? "
"I think she knows something. She sometimes tells me something." Zhu Ruiyan replied.
There were some people in the west who would follow such etiquette, but were unable to support their hands at the dining table. Zhu Ruiyan felt that such etiquette was too strange for her to handle, thus she felt uncomfortable in this kind of environment.
"Where did you learn German?" Qin Yizhao thought about what happened last time.
"And my mother." Zhu Ruiyan answered honestly.
Qin Yizhao felt that this answer was a little unexpected, "You recited it very well, really a little unexpected. The last time you said it, your mother seemed to be teaching elementary school."
Zhu Ruiyan nodded, she wanted to take it back, but Qin Yizhao did not let go.
"There's no law that says that primary school teachers can't speak German. My mom even likes to hum German ballads."
"Your mom is amazing, and so are you. Even though she can understand German, she's still hiding there listening to our conversation." Qin Yizhao spoke very softly, as if he wanted to sue her. Zhu Ruiyan really wanted to scold this person for being shameless.
At the time, he thought she didn't know German, so how could he blame her?
Zhu Ruiyan said with a touch of ridicule, "Hmph, I remember once saying that I don't understand German anyway and that I shouldn't touch those books. Those books are priceless, I had to travel across the ocean from England, go to the city, and after going through some rough times, I could finally place the books in the Qing County cabinet.
Zhu Ruiyan wanted to take the chance to take his hand back, but she realized that she held it even tighter.
So sour, why is the sour taste of these words so strong?" Qin Yizhao smiled and said, "Those are indeed the books that I cherish. Do you care about them? I still have to keep those books well.
"That's your problem." Zhu Ruiyan said indifferently.
Qin Yizhao moved his head closer, and kissed Zhu Ruiyan's palm.
Zhu Ruiyan was startled, her palm felt a burst of warmth, and she immediately tried to struggle free from him. Qin Yizhao's strength was so great, so naturally it was in vain.
Qin Yizhao laughed, as if he was really satisfied with Zhu Ruiyan's words. "Those are all German language books related to wood and soil, and are now out of print."
"You don't need to tell me this. Let go." Zhu Ruiyan stood very straight, "If you want to hide the books in the bookshelf, you should do so at the bottom of your heart. If you want to hide the people who gave the books to you, you should do so at the bottom of your heart, I won't interfere, because it's not like I'm going to touch those treasures of yours.
Qin Yizhao had a smile on his face, "You still don't admit, the sour taste is so strong."
Zhu Ruiyan was startled.
"Throw it away if you like." Qin Yizhao looked at her, and said softly, "It's good to throw away a lot of things."
Zhu Ruiyan raised her head and stared at him.
Qin Yizhao did not hear what Zhu Ruiyan said.
He added, "You think I can't let you go?"
"It doesn't matter." Zhu Ruiyan said indifferently, "I've loosened my grip, the dishes have been served."
Zhu Ruiyan held hands in front of the outsiders and felt very embarrassed. Seeing the people who were serving the dishes, she quickly said, "Zhao, there's no other meaning to my words. It's not sour."
What was there to be jealous about? If he sounded sour, he would not be allowed to see Yaomeng again.
When Qin Yizhao released him, Zhu Ruiyan did not make any calculations, but he was not that happy anymore.
The dishes had all been served and the two of them did not speak.
"Yanyan..." After a while, Qin Yizhao thought of something, he thought for a while and asked, "At that time when you were unhappy, did you find out about Yaomeng?"
When Zhu Ruiyan heard this, she was slightly surprised.
There are a lot of things in your heart that you can tell me. Many things can't be done without you saying them. Qin Yizhao's black eyes revealed a trace of grievance, "You have been intentionally keeping a distance from me, and have never trusted yourself. Moreover, you have had a tendency to let your imagination run wild.
Zhu Ruiyan looked at Qin Yizhao with some hesitation.
Qin Yizhao spoke again, "Yaomeng and I have known each other since we were young, and had grown up together. She and her parents had gone to the capital, and after being together with her for so many years, we should know each other very well. But in the end, it was like this, do you understand? I also want to control my own emotions, making you a lover. You object, you make you a lover, and you are not confident, tell me, what should I do, I also want a stable relationship, and also want a warm home. "
Zhu Ruiyan looked at the person who was so close to him, and thought about how they had to get to know each and every detail. He was truly a good person, and truly treated her well, not because he had nothing better to do. She thought that this struggle was just a farce. She felt relieved in her heart.
Zhu Ruiyan said in a low voice, "I apologize, I was too unconfident in the past."
A hint of happiness emerged from the bottom of Qin Yizhao's heart, the mist in his eyes dispersed. He smiled, after hearing Zhu Ruiyan's apology, his Yanyan would not easily escape.
"Alright, let's start eating." The smile on Qin Yizhao's face was very gentle. His originally handsome face was now even more enchanting. Of course, he had to ignore the clump of silt at the corner of his mouth.
"Alright, let's eat." Zhu Ruiyan looked at Qin Yizhao's smile and his heart felt soft. So it turned out that he didn't understand before, and such a strong person, after hearing her words, would also reveal the smile that came from the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, Zhu Ruiyan was truly a little embarrassed. It turned out that what he needed was just ordinary love, could she give him this kind of love?
When a lover becomes a lover, the two of them get along differently.
Zhu Ruiyan also picked up the tableware on the table and started to eat. As soon as she made her move, she could not help but shout out, "Ah?"
Qin Yizhao didn't know why she was surprised, so he asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhu Ruiyan stared at the western cuisine for a long time. Well, let's not spoil the atmosphere.
"What exactly is the matter? Tell me." Qin Yizhao looked at her.
Zhu Ruiyan did not speak anymore. Eating chocolate, this thing was very sweet. She was initially not very interested in sweet things, but now she also wanted to eat some. In the past, her heart had always been conflicted, struggling, and bitter. Now that she had become his lover, she wanted to eat something sweet to change the taste.
Qin Yizhao also ate a chocolate bar, he had just cleared up the chaos, and had some sweet energy supplements. He ate one, the taste of the milk and rum inside the chocolate shell was released, it was extremely intoxicating. Qin Yizhao enjoyed his food very much. When he saw Zhu Ruiyan eating only one, he didn't eat the second one and thought it was very strange, "Why don't you continue eating? Women love chocolate. "
