Chapter 116 (2/2)

Chen Fang was not very familiar with Los Angeles, but when he heard that it had delicious food, of course he couldn’t miss it. Three adults and two children drove to the downtown area, after taking many turns, Shen Fu finally stopped in front of a japanese restaurant.

The restaurant’s name was very simple, a single word “弘(Hong)”. The decoration however was very standardized like most japanese restaurants, light wood decorations, short tatami mats and  doors with painted cherry blossom patterns on them.

Ra: I search gg for japanese, appr 弘 in japanese is Hiro, chn is Hong

Most of the workers were Asian girls in kimonos. They were stunned to see some obvious Asians coming in. Then they greeted them in Japanese and said, “Welcome.” (Yokoso.)

Lin ShuYi could not understand this. Shen Fu took him and went straight inside.

The japanese ingredients were not particularly expensive so the price tended to be geared towards the regular civilians so the price was reasonable for the regular folk. The dish decorations wer very fresh and not overdone, with fresh flowers fragments could be seen everywhere. Even the curtain that acted as a divider was made from blue flower patterned fabric and looked particularly comfortable.

They entered the private room and a girl came in from outside. She put a thick menu in front of Shen Fu and asked in Japanese, “What do you want to eat?”

Shen Fu pushed the menu to Chen Fang and then ordered from the list according to his memory, “White tuna sashimi, assorted tempura, Eel Sushi roll… Chen Fang, order what you want to eat.”

White tuna:

When the waitress heard them talk, and her eyes immediately turned round. “Are you from China?”

At last came a sentence that Lin ShuYi could understand, he smiled and nodded.

Perhaps it was because she saw a fellow Chinese person in this foreign land, the waitress began to talk more. She praised how cute Xiao Yu and Tao Tao were, then she asked them where they came from. Lin ShuYi answered them one by one, without feeling impatience.

Shen Fu looked at the glass on the table without expression.

Xiao Yu looked at Shen Fu’s face, looked away, raised his cup and said, “Sister, I’m a little thirsty. Can you pour me a glass of water?”

Only then did the waiter realize that she had chatted too much with the guests. She said embarrassingly, “I’m sorry, I’ll be right here.”

Shen Fu looked at Xiao Yu and praised him with his eyes.

Chen Fang smacked his lips and sighed in his heart that, even at young age Xiao Yu already had a belly as black as his dark, this kid gonna become someone formidable in the future.

Lin ShuYi knew every twisted thought inside Shen Fu, he reached under the table and pinched Shen Fu’s hand. His smile on the corner of his mouth never dropped. Shen Fu showed a jealous expression once in a while, quite handsome in a way.

Shen Fu saw Lin ShuYi’s smile and raised his eyebrows. He squeezed his hand and pulled it in his direction. Two minutes later, Lin ShuYi snapped his hand back, stared at Shen Fu fiercely, and his ears were red.

Shen Fu was in a much better mood.

Chen Fang turned away with a constipation face/sour face, pretending that he didn’t know what they were doing.

The restaurant Shen Fu recc was defo a good one, although not a well-known place, the cuisine was not bad at all. The wasabi tasted very authentic, spicy but didn’t overlay the freshness and unique flavor of the food.

Addis T/N: Real wasabi can be found in certain markets in the US. Though fresh wasabi is highly expensive at around $99.99 USD a pound (.45 kilogram).

In order to cater to Xiao Yu’s tastes because he didn’t like the sashimi, Shen Fu ordered an eel fried rice set, it was accompanied by a small portion of chawanmushi and miso soup. The amount was not particularly large, but for Xiao Yu it was enough, and since Taotao could not eat too much rice, he ate the chawanmushi.

After dinner, Chen Fang officially followed the family of four and went to Uncle Alan’s house to meet old master Shen and Shen Fu’s parents.

Everyone warmly welcomed his arrival. Shen Fu had already told him about the details of the wedding and there was nothing for him to help with. They just measured his height and size so that they could pick out his suit. After all, as the only groomsman at the wedding, his position was only a display item.

Chen Fang was naturally asked if he wanted to stay for the evening. He grew up with Shen Fu when he was a child. For Shen Fu, he was just like a brother. Of course, this should never be said in front of brother Shen, although Brother Shen himself regarded Chen Fang as half a brother.

Chen Fang thought about it and finally refused.

The reasons were as follows: Shen Fu and Lin ShuYi were too fond of each other. He was a single dog, and he felt awful. Brother Shen and Brother Jiang Cheng were also a couple, this single dod had to suffer from the same deal.  Even Papa Shen and Mama Shen loved to show their love even when they were old… To sum up, for the psychological safety of single dogs, it was better not to stay here.

Chen Fang drove back in a car and another day passed, which meant that there were only four days left for Shen Fu and Lin ShuYi’s wedding.
