Chapter 259 - Three Lunches
He Ruiting looked at the screen of his phone, the look on his cold face.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Su Jinyi reached out to the phone and saw the information on the screen.
"Tell her, it's not good for everyone to be too stiff."
"She wouldn't be so embarrassed if she knew how to show a little respect for other people's space."
He Ruiting was still dissatisfied with Sheng Lin's way of handling things.
"Forget it, perhaps it's because of the cultural differences between East and West."
"Heh," He Ruiting naturally knew that Su Jinyi was speaking up for Sheng Lin, and her actions in the west would definitely not be allowed, "I hope this will be the last time she's being unreasonable."
With that, he sent the location of the restaurant over.
Because she wanted to wait for Sheng Lin, Su Jinyi had specifically reminded the restaurant to serve the dishes later. She did not want herself to look rude.
Not long later, Sheng Lin arrived at the dining hall.
She didn't seem to mind the unhappiness in the morning at all. When she saw Su Jinyi, she continued to greet her warmly.
"Hi, Jin Yi."
"Hello."
Su Jinyi also nodded while smiling. Then, she gave He Ruiting a meaningful glance, as if to say: Look at this, how great is this? Otherwise, it would seem like we are being petty.
When Sheng Lin arrived, the waiter finally started to serve her food. Regarding this, she did not realise that He Ruiting and Su Jinyi respected her, and instead thought that it was natural.
After eating two bites, she suddenly raised the fork in her hand. There was a small piece of goose liver on it, she directly placed it next to He Ruiting's mouth.
"Rui Ting, eat."
He Ruiting dodged in a hurry.
"Everyone has one serving, why do you want me to eat yours?" He was extremely confused and could not help but look at Su Jinyi. However, Su Jinyi did not mind as she leisurely tore off a small piece of crab bread.
"We all liked to eat on the same plate since we were young. Have you forgotten?"
Sheng Lin still acted as if she was confident and did not want to retract her hand, as if she wanted He Ruiting to eat it.
"You also said that you were a child."
"Was it different from this when I was a kid?"
He Ruiting looked at her in disbelief and said: "Right now, I can do what husband and wife love to do, can I do it when I was young? And vice versa. "
As he explained with a cold face, Su Jinyi flushed red.
What kind of magical logic was this?
However, these words seemed to be extremely useful, because Sheng Lin finally shut her mouth and did not force He Ruiting to eat the goose liver with her.
However, when he removed the head plate and the soup was presented, Sheng Lin seemed to have forgotten her previous awkwardness, and she quietly got closer and closer to He Ruiting.
That's right, she had quietly moved the chair around a few times. Just like that, with a small round table, at first glance, Sheng Lin and He Ruiting seemed to be a couple, sitting very close to each other, while Su Jinyi sat opposite to them.
And that's not the worst of it.
What Su Jinyi could not see was, under the dining table, Sheng Lin's long legs started to sweep across He Ruiting's legs intentionally or unintentionally.
However, she never looked at He Ruiting from the dining table, instead she seriously looked at him and casually chatted with him.
However, when it came to relaxed points, she would unconsciously tilt her head and place it precisely on He Ruiting's shoulder.
Everything seemed so natural and intimate.
Su Jinyi took note of all of her actions.
Because he remembered Su Jinyi's words of "don't be too stiff", He Ruiting did not utter a single word towards Sheng Lin's provocations.
When dinner was served, a five-man band walked onto a small stage at the front of the restaurant.
So this restaurant had a band all day.
With the music playing, Sheng Lin suddenly puffed out her chest and carefully wiped her lips. She then moved her hand bag to wipe her bright lips, and finally tidied up her collar and skirt, walking up gracefully.
"What is she doing?" Su Jinyi asked.
As He Ruiting pushed Sheng Lin's chair back to its original position, he replied. "Probably to receive everyone's applause."
He wasn't wrong.
Although the two of them had been separated for more than ten years, Sheng Lin's personality, which liked to be the focus of everyone's attention, had not changed.
As soon as the prelude sounded, she recognized the song the band was about to play as Lavieen Rose, the Rose Life.
It was, so to speak, a well-known French song.
Although Sheng Lin had grown up in New Zealand, she had taught herself French, Spanish and Italian. She had also lived in Europe for a period of time, growing up in different human environments.
She stepped forward and snatched the microphone from the lead singer's hand. Then she rolled the shawl's wavy hair coquettishly to her side and sang to the music with emotion.
Very quickly, the other guests applauded her performance.
Su Jinyi turned her head and looked at them seriously.
She was beautiful, noble, and had a high education. She seemed to have a high ability to work, and this kind of woman really suited He Ruiting well.
But just as she was staring intently at Sheng Lin, He Ruiting's voice came from behind.
"What's there to see?"
"What is it? Don't you think it's beautiful? " Su Jinyi thought that He Ruiting was lying.
He Ruiting put down the blade and fork in his hand, and replied seriously: "To be honest, it's naturally beautiful, but so what? There are many such excellent women. I don't like her just because she knows several languages or can sing two more songs. If that's the case, I'll just fall in love with myself. "
After He Ruiting finished speaking, only then did Su Jinyi remember that the person in front of her was also multi-talented.
It was just that he rarely revealed his talent, and never acted arrogantly.
She did not believe what others had just said.
But if He Ruiting said so, she believed him.
"Fine." She looked convinced and didn't look back.
Sheng Lin's Ode of Fragrance was nearing its end.
"Jin Yi, when I interact with others, what I value is one's heart and character. You should know that."
"Yes." She replied softly.
Very quickly, Sheng Lin finished singing the song "Life of the Rose", but she saw that He Ruiting and Su Jinyi below the stage was actually minding their own business and talking about something, and the way He Ruiting looked at Su Jinyi was very gentle, different from how cold he was towards her, a wave of hatred immediately rose up in her heart.
Sheng Lin put down the microphone in her hand and said something to the band. Then, she twisted her waist and walked to Su Jinyi's side.
She stretched out her hand, looking as if she was inviting Su Jinyi onto the stage: "Jin Yi, jump."
Su Jinyi quickly waved her hands.
In fact, she had been a member of the school dance club during her college years, and she was very good at both physical and musical perception.
Only, she wasn't used to fighting over a leader in front of so many people.
But Sheng Lin was very persistent, she almost dragged her up the stage.
Su Jinyi had no choice but to follow and stand on the stage.
