Chapter 446 - A Special Date (1/2)

Shen Yan looked at Xia Yu in perplexity. “This is your date with me?”

“You said that you wanted to break up with me now.” Xia Yu did not yield but looked directly into his eyes.

“It is rhetorical. I said ‘if’. Do you know what ‘if’ is?” This woman could be very serious about an issue. If he was confronted with her in a tough way, it was possible that she would really break up with him today, and that badass, Li Wen, would get a great chance.

Shen Yan had to lower his self-esteem and comfort Xia Yu first. Later he would choose a day to get even with him. All in all, in Shen Yan’s view, today’s absurd quarrel with Xia Yu was because of him.

It was true that they were here for a date. How did the quarrel begin? Xia Yu returned to her seat and lifted the teacup before taking a sip.

There were not many guests, and the restaurateur served the dishes very quickly. Soon two plates came up for them to eat first while they waited for the rest slowly. Shen Yan didn’t give the chopsticks to Xia Yu until he put them in the hot water over and over.

He deserved it. He came to this place on his own. She did not know whether he would be used to the food here or not later. Xia Yu thought so, taking pleasure in his misfortune. Anyway, she had lived on her own for a long time, so the food here was already familiar to her.

“My first bite of street food was here, and it was you who took me here. Isn’t it good to return to the old place today?” Shen Yan came here not for food, but for the old memory.

He remembered that day when someone said even if he was doomed to be number two, and even if he couldn’t make it, at least he should hold on till the end. It had been a hard journey indeed, but it was happy, too.

Whatever the result was, he would not lose anymore. Even if he couldn’t win a career, he could win the love, couldn’t he?

“You were so sinister that day.” Thinking of that day, Xia Yu got angry. Someone was determined to follow up and pretended to be the main character of the tragedy. He succeeded in attracting Xia Yu’s sympathy and then tricked her nastily.

“Don’t they say that women’s Sixth Sense is sensitive? Fang Yuan must have felt that I like you, so she withdrew on her own initiative. Why is it sinister to you?” Shen Yan was not satisfied with Xia Yu’s words.

“Did we know each other for three, five, or seven days at that time, Young Master Yan?” Was she easily cheated like a three-year kid? Hum!

“I said it was love at first sight.” It was not romantic at all. Shen Yan said to himself in his mind.

“Oh! Really? Love at first sight?” Xia Yu might believe it if it happened to someone else. But as for Young Master Yan who was dignified, everyone knew he was a real flirt.

“You don’t believe me?” Shen Yan looked wronged. He stretched out his hand to hers and put her hand on his chest. “Feel it. Isn’t it beating?”

“Nonsense! If it wasn’t, how could you still sit here?” Xia Yu couldn’t help laughing. She withdrew her little hand and put a piece of chicken gizzard into his bowl. “Let’s start to eat. I’m hungry.”

Was this a woman with five years’ love experience? Why did she act like a piece of wood? What was the difference if they started eating right after she said it?

“Why are you looking at me? Eat.” Xia Yu knocked his bowl with her chopsticks and added, “Don’t blame me for not reminding you. You don’t want to wait until there are a lot more people and someone recognizes you and then takes a picture of you before putting it on the Internet, right?”

Young Master Yan had his meal at a street stand. It was indeed something front-page.

“I have told you that there is no Young Master Yan.” Shen Yan even wanted to strangle her. Didn’t they agree to date as common people?

Oh? Xia Yu looked at him all over. “You eat street food in your business suit which is worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, and you said that there was no Young Master Yan. Who will ever believe it?” How silly he was! If he tried to be an ordinary person, why didn’t he change his clothes?

Until now did Shen Yan find that people around him were indeed all in casual clothes which came from some wholesale markets or from some street goods under the overpass.

“Then eat quickly and leave.” Shen Yan lost all his interest. He reluctantly took several bites of the food and paid the bill.

It was still early when they went out from the snack stall. Shen Yan didn’t want to go back, but he had no mood to continue the date. He walked listlessly behind Xia Yu and stabbed Li Wen with his anger into a hornet’s nest in his mind.

Li Wen had sent him the photo of Xia Yu at his birthday party to show off. Xia Yu really smiled very happily. But why wasn’t her smile so happy when she was with him?

Seeing that Shen Yan had little interest, Xia Yu realized that he was still upset about what happened just now. His time was so precious, but he would like to put other things aside and hang out with her. Xia Yu was very content and moved.

She felt sorry to see that Shen Yan was unhappy. She turned back and held his hands, saying, “Follow me.”

“Where are you going?” Shen Yan asked.

“You’ll know when you arrive there.” Xia Yu took Shen Yan’s hand and kept walking forward.

Soon they reached the most famous square in S city. There were some shopping centers, near which stood many skyscrapers. People came and went across the big square. On the giant outdoor screen, dazzling commercials with bright colors were being played.

The setting sun gave all of these a soft layer of light.

Xia Yu took him into an ordinary clothing store and bought both of them a matching T-shirt. They put them on and then threw their previous clothes into the car.

With these clothes on, everything would be OK. Xia Yu said to him, “Let’s go. Now you can have snack food wherever you want.”

Shen Yan took Xia Yu’s hand, and they walked together along the streets. Looking at the passing people, a question suddenly came to his mind. “Xia Yu, do you often run into a pervert on the bus?”

Once he thought that someone else besides him would do the same thing to Xia Yu, Shen Yan got the impulse of killing that man. In his mind, there was full of exclusive possessiveness of her!

There were a lot of women around Young Master Yan, but in a relationship, he was a freshman. Only Xia Yu gave him such anxious and eager feelings. They were strange, sour, and swollen. A fire was lit in his heart, but he couldn’t let it out.
