In the end, Jiang Mingzhu didn’t eat the flower cake in the car.
The hotel is in the city center and has a good location. Lin Yu seems to have booked a room in advance. Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li's rooms are opposite.
Lin Yu handed the room card to Zhou Li and left first.
Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li went upstairs together.
When getting out of the elevator, Zhou Li asked her: "What are you having for lunch?"
Jiang Mingzhu thought of the specialty rice noodles in southern Yunnan and was a little excited: "I want to eat sour soup noodles. I'll go to the shopping mall opposite to check it out. You don't have to worry about me."
Zhou Li: "Let's go together."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Can you eat it?"
Zhou Li: "Yeah, I'm not picky about food."
Jiang Mingzhu: "..."
Zhou Li: "I left my things to look for you. It's not safe for you to go out alone."
When Jiang Mingzhu returned to the room to tidy up her things, she still felt that Zhou Li was particularly unusual today, as if he had been taken away from him.
Before he had time to think deeply, Zhou Li had already knocked on the door.
Jiang Mingzhu went up and opened the door for him. When she came back, she opened the gift box of flower cakes, picked out a rose cake and handed it to Zhou Li: "Do you want to eat it?"
Zhou Li took it and took a bite.
His mouth was instantly filled with a strong sweet and rose scent, which was not the taste he was used to.
After eating a flower cake, Zhou Li felt that his breath smelled like this.
It was his first time eating it, but he might never forget the taste in his life.
Zhou Li turned his attention to Jiang Mingzhu, who was holding an unknown snack and putting it in her mouth.
Zhou Li suddenly felt that Jiang Mingzhu was similar to a flower cake. It invaded his senses unreasonably and left him with an indelible memory.
The fairy bean cake that Jiang Mingzhu ate had a filling made of osmanthus and chestnut in the middle.
Osmanthus and chestnut are Fu Xiaozhi's favorite flavors.
Jiang Mingzhu looked at Zhou Li: "Will we still be here when we come back?"
Zhou Li: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "I want to buy some food for Zhizhi and take it back."
Zhou Li: "Not sure."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Oh, okay."
Zhou Li: "Whatever you want, I'll ask Lin Yu to buy it and send it back."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Yes, why did I forget this."
She patted her forehead and smiled the next moment: "Thank you."
Zhou Li: "...You're welcome, let's go eat."
There is the largest shopping mall in southern Yunnan City about 600 to 700 meters away from the hotel. Although it is not as rich as Wanghaihui in Beicheng, the shopping mall is built with local characteristics.
Jiang Mingzhu was reading the review software when she came out of the hotel. As expected, there was a famous rice noodle shop in the mall.
"Let's go here." Jiang Mingzhu showed Zhou Li her phone, "I see there is a bamboo tube rice restaurant next to it. You can eat from that."
Zhou Li: "You can go wherever you want."
The two entered the mall chatting and went straight to the dining area on the fifth floor, passing by an ice cream shop on the way.
Jiang Mingzhu swallowed when she saw several children eating crispy cones.
Zhou Li: "Would you like to eat?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Wait for me, I'll buy it."
Before Zhou Li had time to answer, Jiang Mingzhu had already ran over and lined up.
He saw her pointing at the crispy cone on the screen, talking to the clerk with a smile, and sweetly saying "thank you" after paying the bill.
Zhou Li looked in a daze, and for a long time he couldn't tell whether her current happiness was sincere or just pretending to be an act.
Just looking at Jiang Mingzhu's current performance, who would have thought that her condition was so serious?
When Zhou Li was distracted, a cone suddenly appeared in his sight.
He came back to his senses and took a closer look. Jiang Mingzhu was holding two cones, and the one in her left hand was given to him.
Zhou Li: "...give it to me?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "You bought me fresh food
Flower cake, I’ll treat you to ice cream and lunch. "
Although she calculated clearly, Zhou Li's surprise only increased.
He remembered what Yuan Ye said before.
Yuan Ye was not wrong, but he had always used the wrong attitude.
Zhou Li rarely eats so many sweet things at one time. First he had flower cakes and then ice cream. His mouth was filled with sweetness and he almost died of boredom.
But Jiang Mingzhu didn't seem to feel anything at all. She was holding the cone and eating it happily.
A few minutes later, the two sat down at the rice noodle shop. There were many people in the shop, and Zhou Li rarely ate in such a noisy environment.
Jiang Mingzhu noticed: "How about you go to the French restaurant downstairs?"
Zhou Li: "No need."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Okay, I want sour soup and fat beef rice noodles, what about you?"
Zhou Li: "Please give me some."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Do you eat spicy food?"
Zhou Li: "I won't eat."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Then let's eat braised chicken soup."
Zhou Li: "Yeah."
While waiting for the meal to be served, Jiang Mingzhu had already finished eating the cone and started rubbing her hands in anticipation of the rice noodles.
Zhou Li had only heard of rice noodles before, but this was his first time eating them in person.
This thing really didn't suit Zhou Li's taste. He drank some soup and almost finished the side dishes without touching the noodles.
Jiang Mingzhu, on the other hand, ate every portion and drank almost all the soup.
After settling the bill and coming out, Zhou Li said, "Go back to bed."
Jiang Mingzhu nodded, and the two of them walked out of the mall together without saying anything.
When she came out, Jiang Mingzhu suddenly turned around and walked to the McDonald's next to her.
Zhou Li followed closely: "Are you not full yet?"
Jiang Mingzhu didn't answer him and walked to the self-service ordering machine in a blink of an eye.
Zhou Li: "...overeating will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract."
Jiang Mingzhu ordered the grilled chicken drumstick.
Zhou Li: "If you want to eat it at night, you can take it out."
Jiang Mingzhu ordered Chicken McNuggets again.
Zhou Li: "Eating too much will make you gain weight."
Jiang Mingzhu scanned the QR code and paid.
Zhou Li couldn't persuade her, and he couldn't take her away as violently as before, so he could only watch her go to the front desk to get her meal.
Until the two of them came out of the hotel elevator, Zhou Li was still thinking about how to persuade Jiang Mingzhu to eat less.
Zhou Li: "You..."
As soon as he said a word, Jiang Mingzhu suddenly handed him the paper bag in her hand.
Zhou Li swallowed his words and frowned.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Whether you like it or not."
She stuffed the bag into his arms, walked quickly to the door of her room, swiped her card and walked in.
Zhou Li watched Jiang Mingzhu close the door, then looked down at the McDonald's bag in his hand.
So... I bought this for him?
Jiang Mingzhu just noticed that he didn't eat much.
——
Jiang Mingzhu returned to the room and took a shower.
After she came out and lay down on the bed, she received a WeChat message from Zhou Li.
He sent a photo, followed by a sentence: [Everyone has finished eating. 】
The photo is of the empty box.
Just as Jiang Mingzhu finished reading, he sent another message: [Did you buy it specifically for me? 】
Jiang Mingzhu: [Next time, don’t follow me and eat things you don’t like. It’s a waste of food. 】
Zhou Li: [Okay]
Jiang Mingzhu put down her phone and fell asleep.
On the opposite side, Zhou Li was still staring at the chat interface in a daze.
It wasn't until Zhou Yi's call came that Zhou Li came back to his senses.
But when he answered the phone, his attitude was different from before.
Zhou Yi was curious: "Are you in a good mood today?"
