A foreign city, dear you

Ye Lian felt a little cold outside and shrank unconsciously.

When he came to the place where the dog was once again, Teacher Xie repeatedly told Ye Lian to be careful, while he himself looked around vigilantly and made a gesture of protecting Ye Lian at any time, as if the dog would jump out at any time.

Ye Lian was also very nervous at first, but when she saw that Teacher Xie was even more nervous than she was, she found it funny.

The two finally passed that section of the road safely, and then walked through several alleys with twists and turns before arriving at the wide He'ao Avenue.

Teacher Xie finally no longer had to guard against anything, and his whole body relaxed.

Not far away, Teacher Xie saw a noodle shop and offered to have a bowl of noodles before leaving.

Ye Lian was also hungry, so she said without hesitation, "Okay, I'll treat you."

Teacher Xie smiled and walked into the noodle shop first.

It was already past dinner time, and there were only a few diners in the store.

When the boss brought the hot beef noodles, Ye Lian couldn't wait to eat it in the hot mist.

Fragrant and spicy, hot and refreshing.

Grandma Lanshan rarely uses chili peppers in her cooking, so she takes every opportunity to indulge in spicy food.

Ye Lian tried her best to be gentle, but she was still a bit arrogant.

Teacher Xie saw that his pork ribs noodles had not been served yet, so he stood up and left. After coming back, his pork ribs noodles were also served.

Teacher Xie looked at Ye Lian from time to time while eating.

"Why do you keep looking at me? Is my eating appearance scaring you?" Ye Lian asked with a smile.

"Uh," Teacher Xie was a little embarrassed for a moment: "I, I just saw that your food tastes delicious."

"A sneeze -" Ye Lian was about to laugh, but suddenly she sneezed long and cold.

Oops, I ate too quickly.

This time it was uncomfortable.

Ye Lian felt a hot noodle soup poured down her throat and into her nose. The heat was mixed with an extremely uncomfortable irritation, which made Ye Lian so uncomfortable that tears and runny nose came out.

Ye Lian hurriedly reached out for the disposable water cup placed next to her.

When Teacher Xie saw Ye Lian's uncomfortable look, he hurriedly reached out to get Ye Lian's water glass.

The two hands barely touched each other.

The two hands retracted in lightning haste.

Ye Lian had tears in her eyes and was so embarrassed.

Teacher Xie's face turned red, he picked up the water glass again and handed it to Ye Lian.

Ye Lian took the water glass and drank it in two sips. Teacher Xie refilled it for her, and Ye Lian drank another glass.

After drinking two glasses of water, Ye Lian felt better and said thank you to Teacher Xie.

Teacher Xie handed her another tissue, and Ye Lian took it, wiped her tears and the corners of her mouth, and then turned her back and blew her nose to clear out the chili pepper in her nasal cavity.

Finally cleaning up the mess, the two of them continued eating noodles.

"I'm sorry, I made a fool of myself while eating noodles." Ye Lian said, feeling a little embarrassed by the embarrassment just now.

"What's so embarrassing about this? Who wouldn't get choked? Isn't it uncomfortable to choke?" Teacher Xie asked with concern.

"It's okay now. It's all because of my love for spicy food." Ye Lian lowered her head to eat the noodles and smiled sheepishly.

"Take it easy in the future and don't eat too spicy food." Teacher Xie couldn't help but warn her.

"I just want to eat some chili peppers," Ye Lian smiled: "I just can't gorge on spicy food like this in the future, making you laugh." Ye Lian put aside her embarrassment and looked up at Teacher Xie.

Teacher Xie had been looking at Ye Lian who was eating noodles with her head down, but when Ye Lian looked at her, he looked away in panic.

Ye Lian soon only had half a bowl of noodle soup left.

If she weren't afraid of Teacher Xie's joke, she would have drank all the noodle soup.

Not to mention the bit of choking, this bowl of noodles was still enjoyable to eat. My stomach feels comfortable and my whole body feels warm.

Seeing that Teacher Xie had almost finished eating, Ye Lian got up and asked the boss to pay the bill. But the boss pointed at Teacher Xie from a distance and said that your husband has already paid the bill.

oops.

Ye Lian looked at the other diners, blushed, and quickly explained: "He is my colleague."

"I'm sorry. There was a misunderstanding." The boss apologized quickly.

Teacher Xie lowered his head and ate the last bit of noodles in his bowl without saying a word.

"When did you pay the bill? You didn't know it." Ye Lian asked after leaving the noodle shop.

"It's just a bowl of beef noodles, the bill is the same for everyone." Teacher Xie said lightly.

"That time you helped me dismantle the bed and move things, and I still owed you a meal. This time you pay the bill again."

"Yes," Teacher Xie also remembered it, looking a little pleased: "You still owe me a meal, you really remember it."

"Of course I remember. A little kindness should be repaid with a spring of water."

"Really? Then how will you repay me?" Teacher Xie looked unserious again.

"I promised to treat you to dinner, but I never seem to have the right opportunity. I thought I could treat you to noodles today."

"Then you'd better owe it to me like I said before." Teacher Xie smiled.

The two of them walked on He'ao Avenue again.

It was around eight o'clock in the evening, not too early or too late, and there were not many pedestrians on the wide sidewalk.

The wind picked up and the temperature continued to drop, driving away the warmth Ye Lian had felt when she just finished eating the noodles.

Ye Lian couldn't help but fold her arms in front of her chest.

Teacher Xie looked at Ye Lian and hesitated to speak.

The two walked forward side by side, but kept a physical distance in between.

"Is it far for us to go back?" Ye Lian asked.

"It's not far, more than one kilometer and less than two kilometers."

"How do we get back?"

"It's up to you. Walk or take a motorcycle?" Teacher Xie looked at the street and asked.

There happened to be a motorcycle passing by on the street.

Ye Lian didn't want to take a motorcycle. Ever since she was robbed, she had a shadow in her heart about motorcycles.

Moreover, she was afraid of riding in separate cars with Teacher Xie; she felt awkward riding in one together.

She had already experienced embarrassment twice when eating noodles just now. She didn't want to be embarrassed again.
