Chapter 52: A Smile on the Corner of the Mouth
"Why are you here, have you had lunch?"
Seeing her baby sister, Jessica hurriedly took off her sunglasses and walked over, reached out and grabbed Zheng Xiujing's little hand and asked with concern.
"Not ...... yet" Looking at her sister, Zheng Xiujing pursed her lips and shook her head gently, putting away the answers she was anxious to know. With a curious and weak gaze, he secretly looked at the boy behind his sister.
Seeing the stranger coming over, Zheng Xiujing unconsciously nervously lowered her little face, clenched Jessica's hand, and shrank her delicate body behind Jessica as if instinctively.
"This is your sister...?" Walking in front of the two girls, Li Zaiting looked down at this thirteen or fourteen-year-old young and beautiful little girl with some curiosity.
"Inside, yes..."Jessica rubbed Little Crystal's hair dotingly, watching her sister grow as tall as herself, and said happy and warm in her heart.
"You've grown so big?!" Sighing silently, Li Zaiting vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen Sika's sister once before, but he just glanced at it from a distance, and he didn't have too many impressions in his mind.
Now that I see Zheng Xiujing again, I can't help but be a little curious.
The little girl in the sun, wearing a set of white and blue sportswear, a blue hat stitched on the white collar, a bright green cartoon shirt inside, and a pair of white sneakers on her feet.
The girl's face was very clean, with a white countenance, a delicate nose, pale red lips, the same thin curved eyebrows as Jessica's sister, and a pair of fawn-like eyes full of aura and purity.
The shoulder-length hair was simply combed into a double bundle of small braids, and a yellow cartoon hairpin was pinned to the right side of the hair slightly curled, revealing a smooth forehead, and fine beads of sweat were a little shiny in the sun.
The voice is not particularly beautiful, but it has a little immature timbre, it sounds very comfortable, and the whole person looks very cute and beautiful.
Seeing the little girl in front of him staring at him nervously, her focused and restrained gaze remained motionless.
Lee Jae-ting, who had been smiling, nodded lightly to the little girl, and remembered that when Jessica introduced her baby sister to herself, it seemed that it was a Korean name...
Just come over and read it is embarrassing to read it in turn?!
"Hello, Zheng Xiujing, it's a pleasure to see you...", as if the thought came to mind, Lee Jae-ting almost said the original words that Jessica said when she introduced Zheng Xiujing.
It's definitely embarrassing to say this to a girl who has just met.
As soon as the words fell, Li Zaiting found that the face of the little girl in front of him changed instantly, the expression on her face became colder, and her eyes seemed to widen a little suddenly, and a trace of chagrin seemed to flash in her clear eyes
What's going on?!
Just when Li Zaiting was a little inexplicable, he suddenly heard Jessica's complaining voice reach his ears.
"Yikes! I've told you not to call me my sister by that name..."Jessica glared at Lee Jae-ting dissatisfied.
Although she often calls this name herself, she knows that her sister doesn't like people to call her this Korean name, because she feels a little rustic, so she always lets others call her English name.
Krystal's already tense little face tended to get colder and colder, and his eyes didn't dare to look at Li Zaiting anymore, but turned his head to look at his sister, and his little hand secretly tugged at Jessica's hand with a little dissatisfaction.
Hearing what Jessica had just said, she was very sure in her heart that her name, which was like an embarrassing name, must have been her sister suing the man in front of her.
Jessica felt her little hand tighten, and unconsciously turned her head to look at her sister beside her. As a result, when I saw it, I was a little unbearable by Zheng Xiujing's pitiful and aggrieved eyes.
There was an inexplicable feeling of empathy in her heart, feeling that her sister had been wronged, Jessica turned her head angrily, raised her hand and directly slapped Li Zaiting's arm, and opened her mouth with a cold little face and threatened viciously.
“… Yikes! Don't call her that in the future, you know?! If she doesn't look good, you can call her Krystal. ”
"......!?" Seeing this scene in front of him, Krystal's little head suddenly became a little foggy.
When I heard Pani and Lin Yun'er say that her sister had a boyfriend, she didn't believe it very much, but now she is a little unsure.
Although I know that my sister also likes to play with familiar boys in the company and school, she likes to pat each other's arms when she greets people, using this way of greeting brought back from the United States.
But now this kind of fist beating people at every turn, Krystal has never seen it a few times, and he is still a man he has never seen before, and he can't help but be a little curious about the relationship between his sister and the guy in front of him?!
Coupled with the tone of my sister's voice, her expression looks very fierce, but it feels like she is threatening a boy who has a very close relationship.
"Could it be that what Yun'er Oni said is true...!?"
Krystal blinked slightly, withdrew his gaze from Jessica, frowned and thought wildly, and was almost sure that the guy who called himself "Embarrassment" was 60% Ernie's boyfriend.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I forgot about it, Krystal? The name Little Crystal is beautiful..."
After realizing that he was rude, Li Zaiting hurriedly smiled at Sika, and then nodded awkwardly at Zheng Xiujing, apologizing with a frank face.
Krystal looked at Li Zaiting with some restraint, and did not say anything, but nodded silently in response, as if accepting Li Zaiting's apology.
Seeing Zheng Xiujing, who was shrunk behind Sika with a cold little face, the expression on her face seemed to have softened a little, and Li Zaiting hurriedly managed her expression.
showed a faint smile, bowed slightly to Zheng Xiujing honestly, and greeted her very formally.
“… I'm Charles.Lee, you can also call me Lee Jae-jeong in Korean, maybe you can call me in court oppa, and your sister usually calls me that. ”
"Hello, Senior Li Zaiting..."Zheng Xiujing spit out a few words in a voice the size of a mosquito, and after standing beside Jessica and bowing shyly and nervously, she naturally hugged her sister's arm again, and looked at Li Zaiting with big eyes, her little face was still cold.
I don't know why, seeing the man's flowing hairstyle in front of her, coupled with the smile that always hangs on the corner of her mouth, she always feels that Li Zaiting is a little frivolous and a little not like a good person.
… It's absolutely impossible to let yourself call this guy an oppa.
"Charles, how do you know my sister's name is Little Crystal?" Ignoring Zheng Xiujing's unfamiliar title, Jessica turned her head to look at Li Zaiting with some curiosity, and Qingli's face showed a trace of doubt.
She didn't expect that the deceased in front of her would suddenly say her sister's nickname, and she felt curious.
"Didn't you just call her that...?!" Li Zaiting pursed his lips lightly to manage his expression, looked at Jessica with strange eyes, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh in his heart.
For this girl who often says and forgets, he is completely speechless. It's only been a minute, and this person has forgotten what he just said?!
Hearing this, seeing a playful smile on Lee Jae-ting's face, Jessica subconsciously puffed up her bun face, feeling a little annoyed in her heart, and stared at this person who seemed to be laughing at herself with cold eyes.
More powerful eyes than this, Li Zaiting has seen countless times in both dreams and reality, Jessica's shameful, annoyed, or angry eyes are useful to others or some young boys and girls.
I don't feel anything about myself.
"Let's go to dinner together, we'll miss the time if it's too late..."
Ignoring Jessica's cold gaze, Lee Jae-ting turned around slightly casually, smiling and signaling the two girls beside him to leave quickly.
He felt that time had been running on for too long, and he thought that the two girls were also hungry, and if they missed lunchtime, even if they ate for a while, it would not be good for their health.
"Inner, little crystal, let's go, I'm already hungry..."Jessica naturally put on Lee Jae-ting's sunglasses again, and pulled Little Crystal to his side......
Apgujeong is also a well-known commercial center in Seoul and Cheong. Dam-dong and Myeong-dong are prime real estate locations lined with trendy shopping malls, department stores, bars and upscale cafes.
The alleys on both sides of the street are full of restaurants and snack bars with unique personalities and flavors.
A few minutes later, Li Zaiting took the two Zheng sisters into a Tianchao restaurant that they had accidentally seen on the way to the road just now
Entering the dining room, the three of them randomly found a window seat and sat down.
Looking around, Jessica saw that there were not many people dining in this restaurant who looked like fans of ten generations of boys and girls, all of them were uncles in their thirties and forties, so she took off her sunglasses to cover up.
“… It turned out to be authentic Cantonese food?! ”
When Li Zaiting saw the colorful photos on the menu, he remembered for no reason that the Tianchao restaurant run by his parents in the United States also served Tianchao Southern cuisine.
Many of Korea's Tianchao dishes have been improved, such as sweet and sour pork, which is a dish that Tianchao people have never heard of, and noodles such as jajangmyeon are estimated to be eaten only by northerners.
Li Zaiting, whose ancestral home is in the south of Tianchao, has not eaten authentic Cantonese food for a long time, and he unconsciously swallowed his saliva at this moment. Although he can cook a lot of dishes himself, he is too lazy to go to the kitchen because he is naturally afraid of trouble.
"Sika, Little Crystal, look at what dishes you like to eat..."Li Zaiting said casually, flipped through the menu in his hand, trying to find out what dishes he liked to eat.
Now for the friends who are recognized in his heart, he will unconsciously express himself very casually, no longer like before, silent at all times, lukewarm to anyone.
"Okay......" Li Zaiting's casual greeting made Jessica, who was sitting opposite, stunned, subconsciously raised her eyes and glanced at him, and then lowered her head and whispered to the little crystal beside her to look at the menu.
Looking at it, the two girls unconsciously furrowed their eyebrows, and the sisters found that they didn't know any of the dishes on the menu, and they had never heard of many names.
The more she looked at it, the more depressed she became, Jessica pursed her lips and said, "... It's better for you to order, we don't know what to eat, as long as there are no cucumbers. ”
"Okay......" Remembering that Jessica hates cucumbers very much, Lee Jae-ting unconsciously curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and turned her head to look at her baby sister who seemed to be still shy beside her.
“… What about the little crystals? Is there anything you don't like to eat? ”
"No ......" shook her head slightly, Zheng Xiujing continued to spit mosquitoes, looked at Li Zaiting's jerky and cold little face hanging down quickly, and subconsciously leaned down on her sister next to her.
I felt the little crystal looking at her...... As if hiding fear, Li Zaiting pursed his lips helplessly, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable all over his body.
It seems that I don't have to think about it at all, and I know what this kind of look means.
Li Zaiting has seen this kind of look more than once, and he saw it when he met and greeted Sika ten minutes ago. On the day I just returned to China, I saw it in a certain uncle.
In a trance, someone's sincere muttered words drifted to his ears again:
“… Uncle, your current completely earthy hairstyle, with black clothes and shoes from head to toe, and black sunglasses, and always like to smile at the corner of your mouth, makes people feel completely bad at first glance. ”
Habit is something that is difficult to change, and when Li Zaiting smiles, his facial expression is normal, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth on both sides is also the same.
But if you feel something funny or interesting, the corner of your left mouth seems to move slightly, and you smile slightly.
After managing his expression, Li Zaiting smiled at Xiao Jing with a faint smile, hoping that his sincere smile could resolve this little girl's misunderstanding of her appearance.
Perhaps it was too deep the first impression of Li Zaiting, and Xiao Jing felt the smile on the face of the man in front of him...... It seemed to be full of evil, and the little hand unconsciously grabbed Jessica's arm beside her, and her immature face showed a nervous and panicked expression.
… Hey, one ancient!
Seeing Xiao Jing's reaction, Li Zaiting bit his lip lightly and sighed secretly in his heart.
