What’s there to say?
Xie Dingyuan hung up the phone with a dark expression.
Returning to the present, just as he finished eating and was preparing to leave.
“Welcome~”
A familiar figure walked in.
Jiang Fuyue thanked the waiter who held the door open for her in Russian and then began to look around.
No result.
She took out her phone and messaged Andre.
The next second, her right shoulder was tapped, but she suddenly turned left and caught him off guard.
Andre looked apologetic, “Why didn’t you look to your right? I clearly tapped your right shoulder!”
With his peculiar English accent, Jiang Fuyue almost didn’t understand what he was saying.
“You can speak in your native language,” she said.
“Oh my! You speak Russian so fluently! Are you mixed-race? You don’t quite look like it… Or maybe one-quarter?”
Jiang Fuyue twitched her mouth and prepared to sit down.
Only then did Andre realize and quickly spoke to the waiter, “Hello, I had a reservation.”
“May I have your name?”
“Andre.”
“Oh! Honored guest, please follow me with this beautiful young lady.” They exchanged a glance.
Jiang Fuyue didn’t notice, following the waiter to a table by the window.
The next moment, a food cart was pushed over.
But they hadn’t ordered yet, Jiang Fuyue remained composed.
Suddenly, the waiter opened the food cart, and instantly, confetti and ribbons shot toward the ceiling and fell back down.
Jiang Fuyue glanced down and saw Andre holding a bouquet of flowers, handing it to her, “Dear goddess, welcome to my hometown, a sunflower symbolizing brightness for you, hope you like it!”
With fair skin, blue eyes, chestnut hair, tall stature, wearing a hoodie, jeans, and sneakers, he smiled brightly.
“Thank you.” Jiang Fuyue took the flowers and set them aside.
The two sat face to face, she glanced at the waiter’s departing figure and then at the food cart that could spray ribbons… um…
“Did you arrange all this?”
“Do you like it?” He spread his arms, shrugged, looking satisfied. “I think it’s quite nice.”
“…”
“Goddess, to be honest,” he leaned forward on his elbows, shortening the distance between them, looking mysteriously, “you are very different from what I imagined.”
Jiang Fuyue took a sip of lemon tea. “How different? Tell me.”
“It’s just…” he scratched his head, “I thought you’re more serious and not talkative, like a very stern person. The kind of seriousness I’ve only seen in university professors, so I’ve always suspected you’d be a suit-wearing, glasses-wearing, hair-in-a-bun kind of lady! Oh, that would be terrible.”
“…”
“But I didn’t expect you to be so beautiful!” His eyes lit up when he said “beautiful”, not lecherously, just genuinely appreciating beautiful things.
Jiang Fuyue also noticed that this person was quite talkative.
“I ordered the signature dish here. If you don’t like it, you can tell me. Or, we can change now, the menu is here.”
“Ah, you haven’t told me, how can you speak Russian just now?”
“And why didn’t you look to your right earlier?”
Blah blah blah…
Xie Dingyuan had already avoided Jiang Fuyue the moment she stepped into the restaurant.
But he didn’t go far, just moved to another window-side table, keeping a distance from the two. He couldn’t hear their conversation but could clearly see their every move.
Then, he saw the brunette flirting with the waiter, then the confetti spraying, and finally giving her flowers?!
Even though they were just sunflowers, they were still flowers!
What annoyed him most was that Jiang Fuyue actually accepted them!
She accepted them?!
At this moment, the brunette was facing their direction, clearly showing pleasure on his face. Not only that, he seemed particularly excited, leaning in, peering, gesticulating.
Jiang Fuyue had her back to him, so Xie Dingyuan couldn’t see her expression.
But she probably didn’t dislike it.
After all, with her personality, if she wasn’t happy, she would probably just leave.
Xie Dingyuan watched the two chatting happily, his gaze darkening.
Soon, the food arrived.
Andre swapped the steak he had already started cutting in front of him with Jiang Fuyue’s, “Please enjoy.”
With that, he stood up and performed a standard gentleman’s gesture.
Some people’s manners were ingrained.
Jiang Fuyue smiled and said, “Thank you.”
Not far away…
Xie Dingyuan snorted coldly, “Pretentious!”
Andre: “Yue, does this ID have anything to do with your name?”
“Yes. My Chinese name is Jiang Fuyue.”
“Jiang Fuyue…” Andre repeated, but unfortunately, with all the wrong intonations.
Then, with his eyes closed, he started praising, “Oh! It sounds so beautiful! Although not easy to pronounce, it doesn’t affect…”
Jiang Fuyue: “…” Does he even know what he’s saying? Just sounds nice.
“So, you’re the one ranked first on the electronic screen?!”
“Any problem?” She smirked, giving him a skeptical look.
Andre had to admit that in that moment, he was dazzled.
Yeah, dazzled by a woman.
Xie99: Pretentious! Fake!
Brunette: Goddess is so beautiful~
