Chapter Eighty-Nine: Revisiting the Old Place Provokes Old Thoughts
Lin Yue also smiled at her, Chen Jinyan stretched out his hand and put it on her shoulder, and introduced to Meng Huiran: "This is my wife, Lin Yue." β
"Hello Miss Meng. β
Meng Huiran was stunned for a moment, then smiled as well, and stretched out her hand to hold Lin Yue's hand, "Hello Mrs. Chen, I've been in school for several years, do you need me to accompany you and be your guide?"
"No, we've shopped and we're going to eat. Chen Jinyan smiled and replied politely.
Meng Huiran was a little disappointed, but she still nodded, Chen Jinyan nodded to her, and left with Lin Yue in her arms, leaving only Meng Huiran, looking at the backs of the two of them, showing a disappointed expression.
"That girl ...... just now," Lin Yue pondered for a moment what to say, "Does she like you?"
Chen Jinyan glanced at her, with a playful smile in his eyes, "What, are you jealous?"
Lin Yue was a little angry when she heard this, she shook off the hand he put on her shoulder, turned to look at him, and pretended to be fierce and said, "Who is jealous, you are originally my husband, dare to try to mess with flowers and grass again?"
Chen Jinyan was frightened by her like this at first, and then laughed, and couldn't help but rub her hair, "It seems that I have married a powerful wife, and I will be managed to death in the future!"
The two of them were playing around the campus, and the passers-by around them were smiling, both of them were excellent, and standing together was already pleasing to the eye, but in a romantic city like Paris, love seemed to be everywhere, and their frolicking seemed to be very harmonious with the city, making everyone who saw it smile.
Couples can be seen everywhere on campus, or sitting on the seats on the side of the road, or sitting on the lawn on both sides, or hugging each other to read a book, or kissing sweetly, Chen Jinyan seems to be infected by such an atmosphere, pulled Lin Yue, who was standing opposite him, into his arms, bowed his head and kissed it.
Meng Huiran, who had been watching them silently not far away, saw this scene like a fairy tale where the prince kissed the princess, and finally turned around and left.
At night, Lin Yue didn't seem to have forgotten the girl named Meng Huiran who she met during the day, or it can be said that women are naturally sensitive and suspicious, and she told Chen Jinyan that she wanted to go to Hemingway's bar.
"Why, why do you want to go to the bar?" Chen Jinyan looked at her with some puzzlement.
"I looked it up on the Internet, Hemingway is a very famous bar in Paris, just down the Champs-ΓlysΓ©es, not far from here, so I wanted to check it out. "I want to go to see what kind of bar he can meet that Miss Meng.
Chen Jinyan was silent for a while, Lin Yue thought that he was unhappy that he continued to mess around because of the day's affairs, and he regretted it for a while, as if he was a little sensitive.
Just when she was about to retract her thoughts, Chen Jinyan nodded, "Okay, I'll take you over later, but now, it's time for us to eat." β
The French meal is delicious, but it is the case for several meals in a row, which is already a little unbearable for Lin Yue, so Chen Jinyan took her to Chinatown in the evening and found a Chinese restaurant, although it is not as delicious as the domestic one, after all, the ingredients are not complete, but it can already make Lin Yue very satisfied.
After eating, Lin Yue also strolled around Chinatown with great interest, and saw the familiar food stalls in a foreign country, which made her feel fresh and proud.
Chen Jinyan looked at the lively streets, but his thoughts were drifting away......
......
"Brother Jinyan, I know that there is a hot pot restaurant in Chinatown that is particularly delicious, can I ask you? You take such good care of me, I should also thank you." β
"Really, you're getting paid again?" Chen Jinyan looked at the youthful face in front of him with a smile, as if he could see another person through her.
Shen Yan said with a smile: "Yes, the salary has been paid, and my dad recently sent me some money, I told him not to give it to me, he wants to give it." β
"Since your dad gave you money, don't go to the bar job, it's not safe enough after all. β
Shen Yan thought about it, but still shook his head, "Hemingway is already the best bar, and the people who go there are all people with status, and my classmates are also in it with me, it's okay, besides, don't you still have you? You go every night." β
"Well, since you insist, then I won't say more, remember to call me if you have something. β
"Yes, I will!"
......
"Sincerely, cautiously?"
Chen Jinyan came back to his senses and found that Lin Yue was looking at him, only then did he realize that he was distracted again, he coughed lightly in embarrassment, and looked at Lin Yue's puzzled eyes, "What did you just say?"
Lin Yue gradually noticed that something was wrong with him, but she didn't think much about it, and only said with a smile: "I was just asking you, have you been here before? Do Chinese in France love to come to Chinatown?"
"Yes, I've been here for a long time, and I come here when I want to eat the taste of my hometown, but then I slowly learned to cook, so I stopped coming and made my own. β
"Do you know how to cook?" Lin Yue looked at him in disbelief, his eyes full of distrust.
"What's wrong, don't believe it?" asked Chen Jinyan, squinting at her.
Lin Yue shook her head, "I don't believe it, unless you do it for me once when you go back." β
"Haha, okay, I'll make it for you when I go back, and I promise it will taste better than you. Chen Jinyan seemed amused by her words, laughing and rubbing her hair.
After returning from Chinatown, the time was only more than 7 o'clock, it was too early to go to the bar at this time, the two also went shopping for a day, a little tired, and went back to the hotel to rest, Chen Jinyan sat on the sofa and looked at Lin Yue, she was wearing a white dress and a khaki windbreaker.
"If you're going to the bar, you can't wear this outfit, change it. β
"But I didn't have any clothes to wear to the bar. Lin Yue naturally knew that it was a bit indecent to dress like this to go to a bar, but she didn't expect to go to a bar, or rather, she didn't have a so-called nightclub outfit at all.
In the end, she only found a black sleeveless dress, put on a coat, and followed Chen Jinyan to Hemingway's bar on the Champs-ΓlysΓ©es.
When they arrived at the bar, it was almost ten o'clock, and as soon as the two of them came in, they attracted the attention of the people around them, after all, they were two oriental faces, and they were handsome men and beautiful women, so they were naturally outstanding.
Meng Huiran, who worked at the bar, naturally saw them at a glance, she was a little surprised at first, but then she stopped thinking about it, and saw that Lin Yue beside Chen Jinyan was so beautiful, and everything she saw in school during the day also made her very clear, they loved each other very much, and she felt a sense of loss for no reason.
"Joy, those two guests just ordered wine and fruit plates, you can send them. The waiter at the bar called out to Meng Huiran in French, which made her sober up.
She glanced at the two people sitting in the old place, took a deep breath, put on a sweet and natural smile, and walked over with a plate, "Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen, your things, please use them slowly." β
Lin Yue glanced at her and knew that she was the girl she saw at school today, originally she was also interested in this place because of the bar she was talking about, but then again, it seemed that this was the first time she had come to the bar.
"Thank you. Lin Yue smiled politely at Meng Huiran, and after she left, she looked at Chen Jinyan, "I heard you say today that you helped her in the bar, what the hell is going on?"
Chen Jinyan pondered for a moment, and then said: "At that time, she broke the guest's plate here, and those people saw that they wanted to embarrass her, so I helped her out of the siege, after all, she is a Chinese." β
Lin Yue nodded, and didn't continue to ask, she was just a little curious in her heart, not really jealous.
Chen Jinyan picked up the wine glass, but the expression on his face was a little complicated, but he couldn't see it clearly in the dim light of the bar, and Lin Yue naturally didn't notice it.
Chen Jinyan looked at the distance and was distracted, thinking about the scene when he first met Shen Yan here a few years ago, and the bits and pieces of the two getting along for nearly two years.
At that time, he would come here every night for a drink, if nothing else, just to be able to see her, in fact, they had very little communication, he just sat in this position all the time, watching her in uniform with plates, walking around the bar, and occasionally coming over to talk to her when she was free.
He didn't know what kind of feelings he had for her, maybe it was because she looked too similar to Xinyi, and he had a familiar feeling when he saw her, and that kind of relationship was very complicated, which made him very nostalgic.
He thought he was in control, he didn't think that she would have someone he liked, that was the first time he went to her school, and he specially bought roses and balloons and put them in the trunk, planning to officially woo her and let her be his girlfriend.
To this day, he still vividly remembers the scene of that day, when he deliberately put on a suit and even tied a bow tie, and looked personable......
"Hey, Brother Jinyan, what are you looking for me?" Shen Yan's voice came from the phone, and Chen Jinyan couldn't help but chuckle.
"I'll be waiting for you here in your school square and invite you to dinner. β
"Huh, invite me to dinner, aren't you busy, how can you have time to come? I'm in the professor's lab right now. β
Chen Jinyan heard a man's voice on the other end of the phone, and he still said Chinese, "Xiao Yan, come over and ......"
"Well, wait a minute......" After a while, Shen Yan said into the phone again: "Brother Jinyan, I'm sorry, I'm a little busy today, I want to do things in the laboratory, I'll invite you to dinner another day to apologize." There was apology in her voice, as if eagerness.
Chen Jinyan is already a mature man, so he naturally won't be embarrassed, but after hanging up the phone, he was still a little unhappy, the man's voice he just heard seemed to be a little familiar, and he always felt that he had heard it somewhere.
The Chinese circle in France is not big, he knows a lot of people, maybe he knows the one who just stayed in the laboratory with Shen Yan, he thought deeply in his eyes, and finally sat back in the car, thinking about the things he had carefully prepared, and his heart was a little depressed.
"Excuse me, let's go back? It's not too early. Lin Yue's words made Chen Jinyan come back to his senses from his memories, but he couldn't pull it out for a while, and his eyes unconsciously became complicated when he looked at her.
