It's hard to get a marriage, and the husband spoils it

Chapter 691 Encounter on New Year's Eve
The lady proprietress of the small shop said "Okay." Then she went into the back kitchen to get busy.

Shen Youbai sat on the small table in the store, his handsome face lost the usual carelessness, and became a little more relaxed, and even narrowed his narrow and charming eyes comfortably.

This small shop was discovered by Shen Youbai during the Spring Festival in the first year when he moved here. At that time, I remember that he was alone on New Year’s Eve. When he came out, he found that most restaurants were closed. Walking down the alley, I smelled the smell of dumplings, and walked along the scent, only to find this small shop that was open but with few customers.

Shen Youbai remembered that he also ordered a plate of dumplings back then. Later, he would often visit this small shop during the three years he lived here. Every year on New Year’s Eve, he would also order a plate of dumplings for dinner. Remember him too.

Not long after, the proprietress of the small shop brought up a plate of steaming dumplings, "Come on, Youbai, eat it while it's hot. If it's not enough, tell Aunt Lan, and I'll get it for you again!"

"OK, thanks."

"Then I'll go greet other guests first."

Shen Youbai nodded slightly, seeing that Aunt Lan was busy in the back kitchen again. Although there were few customers in the shop, there was a plate of dumplings on every table, probably because today was the New Year's Eve. It was specially ordered.

Shen Youbai picked up the disposable chopsticks and took them apart. Just as he was about to pick up a dumpling and put it in his mouth, he heard a familiar voice.

"Boss, please order a pork rib soup, as well as fried pork slices with shiitake mushrooms and green vegetables."

"Okay, girl, sit down and wait, it will be ready soon!"

Shen Youbai looked back, and saw Ji Qingchuan who was not wearing a professional skirt with a meticulous expression, but Ji Qingchuan who was wearing a casual long skirt, sweater and flat shoes, looking very comfortable.

Shen Youbai raised the corners of his mouth, smiled, and waved to Ji Qingchuan, "Miss Ji, what a coincidence!"

Ji Qingchuan turned her head and saw Shen Youbai who was sitting a few tables away from her, frowning indistinctly, "Shen Youbai? Why are you here?"

Shen Youbai picked up a plate of dumplings in front of him and got up and sat at Ji Qingchuan's table, pretending not to see a trace of dislike in her eyes, and said with a wicked smile: "I'm coming to eat dumplings, tsk tsk tsk...it can happen to me, Miss Ji , do you think we are destined?"

Ji Qingchuan lowered her eyes and glanced at the dumplings in front of Shen Youbai, "Mr. Shen, you are so different, you came to eat dumplings in this small shop alone on New Year's Eve."

In Ji Qingchuan's impression, Shen Youbai should go to those gorgeous occasions, surrounded by clouds of beauties, and spend his spare time singing every night.

Shen Youbai raised his eyebrows a little, took the vinegar and poured it into a small plate, picked up a dumpling, dipped it in some vinegar, stuffed it into his mouth, took a bite, and immediately fanned his mouth with his hands until it was so hot.

"Hot, hot... so hot..."

After finally swallowing the dumplings, Shen Youbai picked up the quilt beside him and poured a glass of water to drink, then said with a smile, "The dumplings in this kind of small shop are more delicious, they taste like home, don't they?"

I don't know what Ji Qingchuan thought of, she lowered her eyes and pursed her lips.

Shen Youbai is not stupid, thinking that he might have hit something on Ji Qingchuan's mind, he changed the subject with a smile, "Since we are so destined, how about sharing a table today?"

Ji Qingchuan raised her eyes, glanced at Shen Youbai expressionlessly, and then shouted to the proprietress who was busy in the kitchen: "Boss, please pack it for me, I want to take it away."

"Really? Do you want to take it away, little girl?"

"Aunt Lan, she's just joking, she wants to eat here, you just go ahead with your work, and just serve the food when it's ready."

The proprietress thought it was true, and replied with a smile, "Okay, I got it."

Ji Qingchuan stared angrily at Shen Youbai who was facing him, "You! I don't know you well, so why should I share the table with you!"

"Look at today's New Year's Eve, we all eat alone, isn't it lively if there is one more person?" Shen Youbai continued to say sternly.

"You also know that it's New Year's Eve, so why are you running out alone." Ji Qingchuan frowned and said coldly.

Shen Youbai twitched the corners of his mouth, laughing a little self-deprecatingly, "I believe that Ms. Ji is a dedicated reporter, she must have read my profile when she interviewed me last time, I am an illegitimate child, and now I have neither father nor mother , there is only a stepmother who sees me as a thorn in the side and a half-brother who wants me to die, who else can I live with if I am not alone?"

Ji Qingchuan's indifferent expression faded a bit, her lips opened and closed several times, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

She had indeed read Shen Youbai's information, and it didn't touch her when she read it before. After all, Shen Youbai was known as a playboy who was as good as a fish in water among women, but now that Shen Youbai was lonely, she vaguely felt that he seemed to be different from what she imagined.

Seeing that Ji Qingchuan was shaken, Shen Youbai took the opportunity to say: "Miss Ji said last time, the next time we meet, you invite me to dinner, how about it? How about fulfilling this promise today? Please me..." He looked down Looking at the plate of dumplings in front of him, the meaning is self-evident.

Ji Qingchuan thought for a moment, "Okay, I keep my word, what do you want to eat, I will treat you today."

"Then I won't be polite." Shen Youbai grinned, with a bright and sunny smile on his face, he turned his head and shouted to the proprietress of the shop: "Aunt Lan, give me another stir-fried fat intestine! A bowl of rice!"

"Okay, just wait, it will be fine soon."

Sure enough, not long after, the lady proprietress brought the food ordered by the two of them to the table. After putting down the dishes, the lady proprietress took a closer look at Ji Qingchuan and gave Shen Youbai a look: "Youbai, is this your friend? It's really beautiful."

"Yes, thank you."

The proprietress walked away, Ji Qingchuan curled her lips, feeling very dissatisfied in her heart, she is beautiful, what's the matter with Shen Youbai, does he still need to say thank you!
After the dishes were served, Shen Youbai picked up the chopsticks to pick up the dishes and served them to his mouth, he was completely different from the elegant and charming people in the past, which made Ji Qingchuan whisper, "I never thought you would eat this kind of dishes. "

"Unexpected? Do you think I wear a suit all day long and eat western food, steak and red wine?"

Ji Qingchuan didn't say anything, it was a tacit agreement.

Shen Youbai pursed his lips and smiled lightly, picked up a chopstick of stir-fried fatty sausage and put it into his mouth to chew, swallowed it, and then said unhurriedly: "What are those delicious things? If you eat it, you must be sick in your head, and you are asking for it."

Ji Qingchuan raised the corners of her mouth, said nothing, and continued to eat her own food with her head down.

Shen Youbai's eyes flickered slightly, and suddenly he picked up a dumpling and put it in Ji Qingchuan's bowl, "Come on, today is New Year's Eve, and the usual reunion dinner is to eat dumplings, here, although we don't count Have a reunion dinner, today you have to eat a dumpling to be considered complete."
