Xie Jiling didn’t expect Han Zhuofeng to have thought it through.
She nodded.
Soon, a bowl of river snail rice noodles was served.
The restaurant reeked of the smell of this river snail rice noodles.
And now that the river snail rice noodle was served, the smell was coming straight from their table.
Han Zhuofeng didn’t dare to try it.
But Xie Jiling was so excited to try it. “Actually, these rice noodles smell good.”
With this, Xie Jiling took some rice noodles.
The surface of the soup was floating with a layer of red and spicy oil, and it looked really spicy.
The customers sitting at other tables were all wiping their noses from time to time.
They were also making huffing and puffing sounds. Obviously, the noodles were spicy.
Xie Jiling blew on the bowl of noodles until it wasn’t that hot before she took a bite.
Then, her eyes lit up. “It tastes so good. Do you want to give it a taste? It’s really good! If you taste it, you will definitely like it. You will want another bowl.”
Han Zhuofeng was really doubting it. You could see the skepticism on his face.
Xie Jiling took out a pair of chopsticks and handed them over to Han Zhuofeng. Then, he asked the waiter for an empty bowl.
“Why don’t you try it?” Xie Jiling said.
The doubtful Han Zhuofeng used his chopsticks and moved some noodles into his empty bowl.
Xie Jiling then gave him some sour bamboo shoots, sour bean curd, and dried sour radish.
The smell really wasn’t pungent when the food was near his mouth.
However, it could be because he had already been desensitized to the smell.
When he took a bite, he realized that it was really delicious!
Han Zhuofeng didn’t bother if it was smelly or not.
When he ate it, it didn’t smell bad at all.
It tasted sour and spicy. It tasted refreshing and appetizing.
The rice noodles were smooth and chewy.
Han Zhuofeng quickly called the waiter over and ordered another bowl of what Xie Jiling had ordered.
While he was waiting for his bowl of noodles, Han Zhuofeng couldn’t endure anymore and took some of Xie Jiling’s noodles again.
He filled his small bowl to the brim with Xie Jiling’s noodles.
It resulted in Xie Jiling protesting, “No one treats a meal like you do! You’re taking all my food away!”
“When they serve my bowl of noodles, you can take some back,” Han Zhuofeng said.
Xie Jiling pouted. Fine. She would accept it.
And so, the two shared a bowl of noodles and finished the noodles together.
When Han Zhuofeng’s order was served, they still ate by sharing the bowl of noodles.
The two didn’t realize that their way of eating…
In other people’s eyes, their way of eating showed that their relationship was special.
When the two finished their food, Han Zhuofeng sent Xie Jiling back to campus.
“I wanted to treat you to a good meal, but we only had two bowls of river snail rice noodles.” Han Zhuofeng felt ashamed as he said, “This was not my intention.”
“No! I’m really happy. It has nothing to do with a fancy meal. I was really satisfied with that small meal.” You didn’t have to treat someone to a fancy meal to show sincerity. The important thing was the other party’s satisfaction.
“Even so, this won’t do. This doesn’t count.” Han Zhuofeng insisted.
Since he said so, Xie Jiling stopped arguing.
Han Zhuofeng was a busy person. Who knew how long she would have to wait until the next time?
But then, Han Zhuo Feng then said, “We are going to Ta Town on the 10th of next month to film a location because there is a scene in the movie that shows the landform of the planet. I think the Danxia landform at Ta Town would be a great match for it.”
“However, there is a very famous ghost town near that place,” Han Zhuofeng said, “There is a scientific explanation. It’s because the wind is blowing against the rocks and making noises that sound like the cries of a ghost. That is why it sounds so scary. But in reality, there are no ghosts.”
This scientific explanation sounded very reliable.
In the past, Han Zhuofeng would have believed it.
But now that he had learned so many things, Han Zhuofeng felt skeptical of that rumor.
What if something was really there?!
And so, Han Zhuofeng asked, “Is the phenomenon at the ghost town really what the experts had explained? Or is there something there?”
Xie Jiling felt the corner of her eye twitch. She wondered if Han Zhuofeng had become a little crazy because of her.
The third son of the Han Family could now see an issue with everything.
She wasn’t responsible for this!
“I have heard of the ghost town, but I haven’t heard of anything existing there,” Xie Jiling said, “When I was young and curious about everything, I asked the soul reapers about it, and they said there was nothing there.”
“Don’t worry. There won’t be a problem,” Xie Jiling said, “Not every place with a rumor or story has issues.”
Han Zhuofeng still felt worried. “Just because there aren’t any problems when you asked them in the past does not mean that there aren’t any issues now.”
“Erm… are you free on the 10th of next month? If you are, why don’t you go with us to take a look at it?” Han Zhuofeng asked.
Xie Jiling raised her brow and said, “You said that you came today to treat me to a meal, but you really came here to discuss this with me, right?”
“Of course not,” Han Zhuofeng said in an earnest manner, “I bought you food because I wanted to express my appreciation. I really came here to express my gratitude.”
Han Zhuofeng said in a helpless tone, “I just didn’t expect you to only eat river snail rice noodles.”
“I told you about Ta Town because it came across my mind. I thought the timing was good for us to talk about it. You can’t flip the sequence. Buying you a meal was the first thing I did and asking you to come with me to Ta Town was the second thing. This second thing just happened conveniently.”
Xie Jiling grinned and said, “Alright. I believe you. I am not trying to blame you for anything. The sequence does not matter to me.”
“No. This concerns my sincerity and intention,” Han Zhuofeng said, “I don’t want you to feel like I wanted to visit you because I needed something from you. That is not true.”
