Lin Junyi took a few quick steps forward, and Gu Qing followed quietly behind him with a red face, keeping a distance of five steps from him and keeping their steps in sync.
"Classmate, is that noodle shop far from the school?" Gu Qing asked softly from behind.
"It's not far, just turn an alley and you'll be there." Lin Junyi smiled and glanced at her with his head tilted. He saw her long eyelashes trembling gently, and her delicate nose and round chin formed a perfect and charming arc.
The two walked for a while, one in front of the other. Lin Junyi pointed to a noodle shop called "Kou Kou Xiang" in front and said with a smile, "This is it!"
He used to come to this beef noodle restaurant often, especially on the first day of the new year. He almost treated it as a canteen. Although it was called a beef noodle restaurant, it did not only sell noodles. It usually made snacks such as fried rice, mixed vegetables, and stir-fried vegetables. But later, because his family went bankrupt and his financial situation took a sharp turn for the worse, he rarely went to this noodle restaurant anymore.
"Boss, two bowls of beef ramen, add more chopped green onions!" Lin Junyi shouted after coming in.
Gu Qing followed him into the noodle shop, her beautiful eyes flickering as she looked around. This noodle shop was indeed as Chu Tianfeng said, very clean, with freshly painted walls and the tables and chairs polished to a shine.
"By the way, what side dishes do you like?" Lin Junyi sat down, stared at Gu Qingxiao and asked.
"It doesn't matter, just don't make it too greasy." Gu Qing picked up the paper towel on the table. Although the table and chairs were wiped clean, she still wiped them carefully again before sitting down.
"Then let's have a home-cooked cold dish!" Lin Junyi smiled and continued to ask Gu Qing: "What else do you want to eat? The fragrant shredded chicken here is also good."
"No, I can't eat all of this!" Gu Qingtian smiled and shook her head.
Lin Junyi smiled secretly in his heart: "This girl is very frugal, good at managing the household, gentle and virtuous, she will be a good wife and mother in the future!"
The arrival of Lin Junyi and Gu Qing attracted several groups of customers to the noodle shop instantly, and they were all dressed as students. Originally, the noodle shop was located in a remote area and usually there were few people coming, but today it was full all of a sudden.
These students all came with Gu Qing and Lin Junyi. They were here to eat noodles, but mainly to see the "gossip". As the school belle that everyone in the school pays attention to, Gu Qing was having her first date with a boy today, which was simply the top news!
Gu Qing clearly felt the strange looks cast back at her from those around her. Her pretty face flushed, and her lips pouted slightly. She thought to herself, "These people come to the noodle shop and don't even take the initiative to order food. Could they be following me here?"
"My deskmate, you have quite a lot of fans." Lin Junyi said with a smile.
"Fans?" Gu Qing was stunned when she heard that, and looked at Lin Junyi with questioning eyes.
Lin Junyi's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered that the word "fans" did not have the foreign meaning of "fanatic fan". No wonder Gu Qing didn't understand, so he explained with a smile: "Fans is the Chinese homonym of the English word fans, which means star chasers."
"Haha, I'm not a big star!" Gu Qingqing's pure and elegant face flushed brightly, and she replied shyly.
"You are too modest! You are a good student, pretty and cute, and you are ranked tenth in the list of beauties. You are a star in our school. I am also your fan!" Lin Junyi laughed.
"How can I be that good!" Gu Qing smiled sweetly, her little face flushed, but she was very happy in her heart. Which girl doesn't like others to praise her!
Not long after, two bowls of steaming beef noodles and a plate of refreshing cold dishes were served. Perhaps the noodle shop owner was grateful to Lin Junyi and Gu Qing for bringing him good business, so the amount of beef in the two bowls of noodles was more than usual.
Lin Junyi took out two disposable chopsticks from the tube beside the table, wiped them gently with a tissue, then broke open a pair of chopsticks and gently handed them to Gu Qing. This series of elegant and gentlemanly movements made the boys in the noodle shop dumbfounded and secretly jealous.
"Thank you." Gu Qing took the chopsticks and smiled sweetly. Lin Junyi's performance just now also made her eyes sparkle with little bright stars.
But when Gu Qing's eyes fell on the beef noodles in front of her, Cui Bichunshan's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly.
Lin Junyi couldn't help but shake his head slightly when he saw it. The waiter in this noodle shop was really a bit of a "half-baked idiot". He gave a bowl of beef ramen with more fat to Gu Qing, while his own beef noodles had more lean meat.
"You don't like eating fatty meat, right?" Lin Junyi stared at Gu Qing and asked with a smile.
"Yeah!" Gu Qing nodded gently.
Lin Junyi smiled, pulled out a clean pair of chopsticks from the tube, broke it open, and gently picked up the fat from Gu Qing's bowl and put it into his own bowl, and then picked up the lean meat from his own bowl and gave it to her, which dazzled the surrounding student diners.
"Thank you!" Gu Qing smiled sweetly, her heart filled with sweetness: "I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful!"
Lin Junyi smiled slightly. He really had to thank that "idiot" waiter today for giving him such a good opportunity to show himself. He probably gained more points in Gu Qing's heart.
The two of them started eating in this ambiguous atmosphere, occasionally chatting a few words, mostly about food.
"How does this noodle taste? Do you like it? Do you want to add some vinegar?" Lin Junyi stared at Gu Qing with clear eyes and asked with concern.
"No need, I like something lighter." Gu Qing smiled sweetly, her eyes slightly curved, like a pair of beautiful crescent moons.
Lin Junyi smiled, his sharp eyes scanning the jealous gazes around him, and thought to himself: "I think these people should be jealous!"
The students who followed to watch the fun ordered a bowl of beef noodles at the same time, but they were obviously not concentrating while eating the noodles, and their eyes were always glancing at the table where Lin Junyi and Gu Qing were sitting.
The beef noodles here have clear soup, with the white part being the noodles, the red part being the meat, and the green part being the chopped green onions. It looks appetizing and tastes even better.
After Gu Qing and Lin Junyi chatted for a few words, they started eating in silence, no longer paying attention to the strange looks in the noodle shop.
"There are too many noodles. I can't finish it!" Girls have small appetites. She ate half of the big bowl of beef noodles and couldn't eat any more. Gu Qing secretly regretted that she should have asked for a small bowl. It was all her fault for being too careless. Maybe she was a little nervous because it was her first time eating with a boy.
"You really can't eat anymore?" Lin Junyi smiled slightly, and saw a trace of crystal sweat oozing out of Gu Qing's pretty nose, like dew after rain, and hurriedly handed her a tissue.
"I really can't finish it. It's a pity to throw it away. Isn't it a waste of food?" Gu Qing gently wiped the sweat from his little face with a tissue and said with an embarrassed look.
"Let me help you eat!" Lin Junyi smiled, and without caring whether Gu Qing agreed or not, he reached out and picked up her bowl of noodles, and put the remaining half bowl of noodles into his bowl.
Gu Qing widened her watery eyes in surprise, staring at Lin Junyi as he completed that series of movements. She couldn't help but lower her head in shame, a blush flying across her fair cheeks. Now the two of them looked like a couple having dinner together. If the girl couldn't finish it, the boy would clean up the mess...
The people in the noodle shop were stunned. The boys were so jealous that they wanted to rush up and bite Lin Junyi a few times.
The blush on Gu Qingqiao's face deepened, and she thought to herself, "Lin Junyi is really something. Now everyone knows about our relationship!"
However, when she secretly caught a glimpse of Lin Junyi eating happily as if nothing had happened, she muttered to herself, "How can this guy eat so much? He ate a whole bowl and still wasn't full, so he ate the remaining half of my bowl!"
Thinking of this, Gu Qing inexplicably felt a hint of sweetness in his heart. He had often heard people say in the past that a man who is willing to eat your leftovers must be a reliable man who is worth entrusting your life to.
Lin Junyi finished his noodles, cleared the cold dishes on the table, and finally drank the noodle soup. He then wiped his mouth with a tissue and said with a smile, "When I was short of money in the past, I craved beef noodles. I could only order a small bowl, and then a few more bowls of noodle soup to drink, just to fill my stomach!"
"Haha, since you're full today, why not have another bowl? I'll treat you." Gu Qing smiled sweetly.
"I'm full. If I eat any more, I'll turn into a pig!" Lin Junyi stood up with a smile and said, "Let's go!"
"Humph, you eat more than a pig." Gu Qing muttered to himself but didn't say it out loud.
Lin Junyi paid the bill with the waiter, which was only ten Hong Kong dollars in total. Then he and Gu Qing walked out of the noodle shop together. This time, the two of them did not walk one after the other like they did when they came, but walked side by side, talking and laughing.
The main reason was that Gu Qing had run out of excuses. When he came here, he could say that he didn't know the way and asked Lin Junyi to lead the way. But what about coming back? Who in the school didn't know him?
Lin Junyi looked at Gu Qing, whose pretty face was flushed, and could only laugh in his heart: "This girl is really reserved and cute!"
