Shiyang nodded slightly: "Yes."
She wasn't actually cold, and the wool hat she was wearing still retained his warmth.
She has never been able to resist Fu Jingchuan, especially Fu Jingchuan who is so considerate and gentle.
Fu Jingchuan didn't notice the fluctuations in her mind. He raised his hand to cover her ears and looked at her: "You didn't eat much at home just now. Why don't you eat some outside?"
Shiyang glanced at him hesitantly and nodded.
There is a night market snack street behind the square with many Chinese restaurants.
Although it was the first trimester of pregnancy, Fu Jingchuan did not strictly restrict what Shiyang could and could not eat.
On the contrary, Shiyang was more restrained and didn't dare to eat randomly. He only ordered one wonton.
The place to eat is just a small table set up at the entrance of the store.
The smell in the store is strong, and Shiyang can't smell the strong smell of oil smoke at this stage.
Fu Jingchuan also ordered a wonton and sat down opposite Shiyang.
This is the first time for the two of them to eat out like this, it feels a bit like a roadside stall.
This feeling was novel to Shiyang, especially when Fu Jingchuan across from him was still wearing a suit, which seemed a bit out of place in the simple dining environment.
Shiyang thought Fu Jingchuan would not be used to it, but saw him pick up the disposable chopsticks, break them open and start eating.
Shi Yang couldn't help but look at him.
Fu Jingchuan took the time to look at her: "What's wrong?"
Shiyang shook his head: "Nothing."
He added: "I just didn't expect you to eat in a small restaurant like this."
Fu Jingchuan glanced at her: "When I was in college, there was a whole food street at the back door of the school with shops like this. I went there often."
Shiyang was a little surprised: "I thought you would be more particular about your life."
"Being careful is something that starts after work." Fu Jingchuan rested his chopsticks lightly on the bowl and looked at her, "I was more casual when I was a student. In the past few years, I have taken over the company. I am busy with work and have to take care of the company's brand image, so these small I’ve never been to the store.”
After speaking, he asked her again: "Have you been to a place like this before?"
"Of course. When I was a student, there were a few people who could afford good restaurants. They usually ate at roadside stalls, which were affordable and delicious." Shi Yang couldn't help but smile as he spoke, "When I was in college, there was also one at the back door of the school. Lin Shanshan and I often went there together at the food street, and I really miss it."
Fu Jingchuan also smiled, he also missed it.
At that time, the food court was full of student couples. When he looked at them, he would often think of Shiyang, which university she was in, what she was doing now, and whether she was in love, and he would get down in the mood just thinking about eating. .
He knew which university Shiyang was in.
Although Shiyang chose to leave without saying goodbye after the college entrance examination, she was admitted to a key university with high scores after all. Her name was high on the school's college entrance examination honor list, very close to his.
The two are even in the same city, the same university town, and there are often social activities between the two schools.
They had never met each other in a place that was only about the size of a palm.
Fu Jingchuan has been to Shiyang School more than once, but he has never encountered it by chance.
"I've been to your school before." Fu Jingchuan said.
Shiyang was a little surprised: "Huh?"
Fu Jingchuan gently stirred the wontons in the bowl with his chopsticks, and looked at her with his head tilted slightly: "When I first entered college, I was not busy. I would occasionally go to your school for a walk."
In fact, Fu Jingchuan himself didn't know if he had any intention of meeting Shiyang by chance when he went to Shiyang's school, although it never happened.
Shiyang smiled: "If I had known you were coming by then, I would have invited you to dinner."
Fu Jingchuan also smiled and did not answer.
He didn't think Shiyang would really treat him to a meal if she knew he was there. With her temperament, she probably would just say hello politely and pass away even if they met on the road.
Shiyang also knew that his words were not convincing.
Fu Jingchuan used to take care of her when she was a student. She carefully hid her love for him. She was always respectful, afraid and dependent on Fu Jingchuan, and she was also reserved in front of him. Even if she did meet him, she would be pleasantly surprised, but She probably wouldn't be able to take the initiative to ask him out.
Fu Jingchuan didn't expose her, he just poured some soy sauce and vinegar for her and pushed it in front of her: "Let's eat first."
Shiyang nodded lightly. She didn't know whether it was her first heart-to-heart talk with Fu Jingchuan that made her feel a little relaxed, or whether it was Fu Jingchuan suddenly showing his less distant side that made her relax, or whether the wontons and sauce were both good, Shi Yang said. Yang's appetite, which was not very good in the afternoon, unexpectedly improved.
She ate all the wontons in one go.
Fu Jingchuan watched her finish eating quietly. He wasn't actually very hungry. He just saw that Shiyang didn't eat much, so he felt uneasy so he accompanied her on this trip.
This was almost impossible to happen in his previous life.
Whether it's walking or eating late night snacks, they are all a waste of time for him.
But looking at Shi Yang who was eating contentedly, Fu Jingchuan felt vaguely satisfied.
He did not regret spending time with Shiyang on this trip.
Watching Shiyang put down the empty soup bowl, Fu Jingchuan took out a tissue and leaned forward to wipe the corners of her lips.
When the tissue touched his face, his movements froze obviously, and he was obviously not used to this kind of intimacy.
It's not that Fu Jingchuan had never wiped her mouth before, but it was during the marriage, and he might have been protected by the relationship between husband and wife. Although she was slightly uncomfortable with it, she wouldn't show much resistance.
Now that the relationship between the two was like strangers again, her sense of boundaries also came out, so she froze for a moment when he suddenly wiped her mouth, and then took the tissue in his hand.
"I'll just come."
Fu Jingchuan let her take the tissue away and watched her silently, a little missing her unguarded look when they were chatting just now.
After wiping, Shiyang belatedly remembered the sense of boundary he had inadvertently displayed. He smiled uncomfortably and slowly rolled up the used tissue into a small ball.
Fu Jingchuan watched the small white paper balls stacked unconsciously between her fingers, glanced at her, and asked, "What happened this afternoon?"
Shiyang was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he was talking about how she cried when he asked her to eat.
Probably because of the slight guilt in his heart for showing a sense of boundary unintentionally, Shiyang pursed his lips and smiled at him sheepishly: "Actually, it's nothing, I just called home and was a little unhappy with my family. .”
Fu Jingchuan immediately thought of the money she had sent back to him before boarding the plane: "Is it related to the money you sent back?"
Shiyang was not surprised that he could guess it, and nodded slightly: "That's right, they just get a little bit off the hook occasionally, it'll be fine if they get over it, don't spoil them."
Fu Jingchuan looked at her: "You were the one who stopped them from looking for me before?"
Shiyang didn't nod or shake his head, but just smiled awkwardly: "They must have caused you a lot of trouble in the past."
"It's okay. It's just a small favor." Fu Jingchuan looked at her and said, "It's you, aren't you a family? Why do they still treat you like this?"
"Probably..." Shiyang thought for a while, "My mother is a bit patriarchal."
Fu Jingchuan smiled and didn't answer. He just looked at her and said slowly: "Shiyang, are you really their biological child?"
