Chapter 20: Dinner Together
Liu Yan's speed was too fast and far away, Li Xiaoru and Wang Nina didn't see Yu Zhan's face clearly, but they could roughly see that he was a tall man.
Wang Nina breathed a sigh of relief, it was good if it wasn't Professor Qiu.
Li Xiaoru was full of gossip, she felt that this man must be Liu Yan's suitor, she was happy, Liu Yan finally got out of her infatuation with Tang Tu and accepted the pursuit of other men.
Yu Zhan took Liu Yan's literary temperament into account and took her to a music restaurant located in the center of the city.
The environment of the restaurant is very nice, the entrance is covered with greenery, there is a forest atmosphere. The interior decoration is fresh and down-to-earth, simple solid wood tables and chairs, each table has flowers in vases, the top of the head is full of bright star lights, there is a bar in the middle, the cabinet is full of all kinds of wine and drinks, in front of a stage is still early, no one is performing.
This place is definitely the favorite of literary and artistic youth, and Liu Yan really likes this environment, Yu Zhan saw the novelty in her eyes.
"Haven't you been here before?" he asked.
Liu Yan searched in her memory, "No." ”
"I've been here a few times, and I feel that the environment and taste are pretty good," Yu Zhan said, adding that "I used to come alone, here in the afternoon is a tea restaurant, and after 8 o'clock in the evening is a bar." ”
Liu Yan saw that there were many guests sitting alone in the corner, with a laptop in front of them to work and do things, a proper petty bourgeoisie.
The waiter guided them to sit down, which was a position that Yu Zhan had booked in advance, and the perspective could see the entire stage, but the seats were surrounded by greenery, and others could not see them.
The waiter put two different menus in front of the two of them, but Yu Zhan pushed them all to Liu Yan, "You can order whatever you want." ”
Liu Yan shirked, "I'm here to accompany you to eat, I should order it according to your taste." ”
"There's no need to be polite between friends," Yu Zhan looked into her eyes and said, "Am I not your friend?"
"No, no, I treat you as a friend," Liu Yan hurriedly said, but she felt that she and Yu Zhan were not very familiar.
Unexpectedly, Yu Zhan seemed to know what she was thinking, and said with a smile, "Friends also need to understand slowly, you will know me in the future, I am not a picky eater, but I am more picky about drinks." ”
"Actually, I'm not a picky eater," Liu Yanna said, when it came to this, she had to order her own food, the dishes in the picture looked delicious, she chose a fish, a beef and a vegetarian dish.
"You can have a drink, I'll just drink the tea," she pushed the menu back to Yu Zhan.
"Do you like tea?"
"No, I just don't like sweet water, I don't like anything too sweet," Liu Yan used to be in the cold palace, and eating was a problem, how could she drink tea and sweet drinks.
When she was a child, like other children, she liked candy, every time she wanted to eat candy, Xiao Zhao went to beg the palace people, she hid behind the window and saw her aunt kowtow and be humiliated, in exchange for a ball or two of maltose, gradually, she didn't like to eat sugar.
Liu Yan lowered her head to hide the sadness in her eyes, and when she looked up again, she was the same optimistic and cheerful appearance again.
Yu Zhan noticed her mood change and said, "I'll drink tea too." ”
As the night deepened, the diners in the restaurant gradually increased, a singer walked to the stage with a guitar and sang a campus ballad, the light and melodious voice easily mobilized the atmosphere of the audience, and the chandelier directly above the table emitted a warm yellow light, softening everyone's silhouette, as if the strangeness between Liu Yan and Yu Zhan disappeared in an instant.
"Does daylight adapt to the new cat food?" Yu Zhan asked her.
"Well, she's eating more now, by the way, how much is cat food? I'll transfer it to you on WeChat now," Liu Yan said.
"You just give me 800," Yu Zhan casually reported a number.
Liu Yan wondered, "Why is it so cheap?"
The fake cat food she bought on Taobao before cost more than 500 yuan for a bag, even if she bought 15 pounds herself, she bought 12 pounds from Yu Zhan, the net weight was different, but Yu Zhan gave her four bags.
"The way to get the goods is different, I sold it to you at cost price," Yu Zhan explained.
Liu Yan also believed it, took out her mobile phone, found Yu Zhan's WeChat, and transferred 800 yuan.
Yu Zhan didn't take out his mobile phone, and he didn't care at all.
Liu Yan remembered that the pet hospital was overcrowded yesterday, "You are gone, what will happen to the business in the store?"
"The money can never be earned, and the work can never be done, but people always have to have a time to rest, just opened for a month, I have no experience, it is indeed very busy, now that I am slowly on the right track, I plan to use Tuesday as a day off in the future. ”
"How did you come up with the idea of becoming a veterinarian?"
Liu Yan felt that the profession of veterinarian was still quite unpopular, and no one who saw Yu Zhan would associate him with a veterinarian. Yu Zhan's appearance and figure are not to mention, he dresses very fashionably and tastefully, today he changed into a coat, or a wool coat, dark blue, when he sat down, he took it off and put it aside, revealing the dark gray casual shirt inside, leaning on the wooden chair, there was an indescribable lazy and leisurely body. He also has a pair of hands that are more like playing the piano than Liu Yan, with fingers holding the teacup and distinct bones.
"I've loved animals since I was a child, and I really didn't think it was interesting to study business in college, and I changed my sophomore year to study veterinary medicine, and I also studied related majors for master's degrees," Yu Zhan answered all questions without reservation, "Opening a pet hospital is my dream when I was a child." ”
"I really envy you for being able to realize your dreams," Liu Yan was even more envious of the kind of freewheeling in Yu Zhan's tone, she thought that his family background must be very good and could support his willfulness.
"There's nothing to envy, you can too," Yu Zhan smiled and asked, "What is your dream?"
Her dream?
Yu Zhan really asked Liu Yan,
In the past, her only dream was to get out of the cold palace, to stand in front of people like other princesses, to vindicate her mother and aunt, and to let the world know that there is a princess named Liu Yan in the royal family.
Now that she has finally left the cold palace, but time and space have changed, the Han Dynasty has already fallen for two thousand years, and all the people she knows and know her have turned into dust, does it make sense for her to bother with the name of the princess?
Yu Zhan saw a trace of confusion in the girl's eyes, he felt that she was not as carefree as she appeared on her face, and seemed to have many secrets and thoughts.
"My dream, maybe it's to let more people know about me," Liu Yan muttered.
Yu Zhan joked, "Go and be a big star, and everyone in the world will know about you." ”
Liu Yan also laughed, "Yes, just go to be a big star, what a dream." ”
Both men knew it was a joke and didn't take it seriously.
But I don't want one day, Liu Yan really realized this "joke dream".
