Chapter 21: A Strange Unfolding
After figuring out that Su Li chose to sit inside, Jiang Yi'an followed Yu Xuan a little uncomfortably.
"What's the matter, are you still afraid that people will eat it for you?" Yu Xuan looked at Jiang Yi'an, who was a little nervous, and laughed.
Jiang Yi'an, who had no intention of refutating, looked at him expressionlessly, making the smile on Yu Xuan's face even more presumptuous.
When he walked to the table, he even patted Jiang Yi'an on the shoulder.
Brother Jiang is a good person, he can handle it, and he is really good at something.
Resisting the urge to hammer Yu Xuan in his heart, Jiang Yi'an sat down with a smirk on his face and some restraint.
Opening the plastic bag, he took out four boxes of ice powder from it that were still cool.
The smooth and tender ice powder is sprinkled with things such as crushed hawthorn, watermelon pieces, raisins, etc., and the brown sugar in the bowl can't help but make people appetizing.
"I don't know if you have any taboos, so I ordered the most common one, just pick it out before eating."
Jiang Yi'an, who was trying to maintain a commercial smirk, pushed the ice powder in front of Su Li with some trepidation.
Holding up the green silk hanging from her ears, Su Li whispered "thank you".
The crisp and gentle voice sounded in his ears, and with the scene of Qianqianyu holding her hair in her hands, Jiang Yi'an blushed for some reason and coughed lightly.
"If you like it, it's fine."
Liu Qingran's eyes widened, "It's worthy of being a senior, that's how bold you are." ’
Yu Xuan was a little puzzled, 'Has Brother Jiang always been so brave?' ’
'Ahhh ’
Even if you just reply politely, or even don't speak at all, it's a hundred times better than this!!" ’
When it's over, the person who says this to the girl he just met will definitely be regarded as the king of the sea. ’
Jiang Yi'an yelled at himself in his heart a little frantically.
If it is a communication with strangers, Jiang Yi'an will naturally not be so sensitive.
If you say it, you can still bite him?
But it's a pity that as Yu Xuan's good brother, Jiang Yi'an can't face his girlfriend's best friend calmly.
If it left a bad impression on Su Li, then presumably the impression on Liu Qingran would not be good?
In this way, won't it affect Yu Xuan?
Unexpectedly, Su Li did not have any displeasure when she heard this, and the smile between her eyebrows and eyes was even worse.
She doesn't think that this is what some people call "flirting", on the contrary, she really thinks that Jiang Yi'an's idea is "you like to eat".
Senior Jiang, who can "deliberately pretend to talk to himself in order not to embarrass others", is not the kind of person who can't walk when he sees a good-looking person of the opposite sex.
There was no response, Su Li gently scooped up the ice powder in the bowl and tasted it.
The smooth ice powder is mixed with brown sugar, watermelon, dried fruits, etc., and is not as dry as expected.
It's surprisingly refreshing. Su Li thought silently in her heart.
Su Li, who was happily eating ice powder, Jiang Yi'an, who was crazy about what he said, Yu Xuan and Liu Qingran, who were silently eating melons.
Oh, and counting Bai Ze, who slept in the middle of the bench.
And just like that, the eerie silence lasted until the moment the waiter served the pot.
"Ahem, I'll give you the beef first." Yu Xuan's speech broke the silence.
As the bottom of the butter pot continued to boil, the thick aroma of oil gradually rose, turning into wisps of white smoke around the table.
Seeing Su Li's calm expression and even a hint of a smile on his face, Jiang Yi'an couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Touching Bai Ze beside him, Jiang Yi'an just wanted to tell him not to worry, but Su Li looked over.
"Did you bring this cat?" Su Li asked with some curiosity.
"Ah...... Yes, it slept in the car before, and it was normal for you to not see it when it was dark. ”
"Can I touch it, then?"
Looking at his eyes that seemed to be flashing, the words Jiang Yi'an wanted to say seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.
"The beef is ready." I don't know if Yu Xuan reminded him unintentionally or deliberately.
"Of course, it's very good." Bai Ze's ears shook slightly when he heard this.
"Thank you." Putting down the chopsticks, Su Li's right hand touched Bai Ze's back.
Unlike Jiang Yi'an's warm big hands, Su Li's hands are smaller and cooler. Bai Ze thought so, and gently rubbed his head on Su Li's leg.
"It seems to like me." Su Li was a little surprised and raised Bai Ze's cat head.
"Ahaha......" Jiang Yi'an snorted a little embarrassed.
With the refreshing and spicy beef belly, Jiang Yi'an felt that he was alive again.
He just wanted to sit up straight so that he could let go of his hands and feet, but he collapsed again after inadvertently glancing at Su Li next to him.
Yu Xuan and Liu Qingran, who were sitting opposite, whispered a little funny when they saw it.
That is, Jiang Yi'an and Su Li's attention is not on eating, otherwise when they look up, they can see the two with "eating melons" written all over their faces.
"So when are we going to tell them?" The warm breath made Yu Xuan feel a little itchy.
After rubbing his face a little, Yu Xuan quietly replied, "When we have dinner later, we can send one by one." ”
"Uh-huh." Liu Qingran's eyes were already full of anticipation, but she really wanted to see what kind of sparks would be rubbed between these two people.
……
After spending more than ten minutes in embarrassment, Jiang Yi'an gradually regained his sense of ease.
Just when he thought that nothing would hurt him next, a message from Yu Xuan directly made him break his defense.
"Ding"

Yu Xuan: Brother Jiang! Brother can only help you get here!
That picture is a screenshot of Liu Qingran and Su Li's chat. (See Chapter 8 for details)
Jiang Yi'an: !!!
With his heart beating, Jiang Yi'an turned his head around with difficulty and glanced at Su Li next to him.
Su Li, who was eating hot pot and humming a song, naturally didn't know Jiang Yi'an's small movements on the side.
She is still thinking about how many times a week she will eat hot pot after entering Shudu University.
'Three times a week, isn't it too much?' ’
"Ding"
Su Li, who was silently thinking about a better future, was interrupted by the prompt sound of the mobile phone on the table.
'Qingran? Face to face, why did she message me? ’
With the same doubts as Jiang Yi'an, Su Li picked up the phone.
Liu Qingran: Is the netizen you are talking about called Jiang Yi'an?
Liu Qingran: Senior Jiang sitting next to you seems to be your netizen!
Su Li: ???
Just as she was thinking about whether it would be Liu Qingran's prank, her next message broke Su Li's last luck.

[Yu Xuan: Brother Jiang, why did you think of raising a cat? ]
Jiang Yi'an: It rained heavily yesterday and I picked it up in a small alley.
Yu Xuan: No wonder, I just said how can you go to a pet store to buy a cat.

Su Li: !!
She covered her mouth in disbelief.
Su Li/Jiang Yi'an: My five-year netizen is my best friend's boyfriend's roommate/roommate's girlfriend's best friend?
The two of them said frantically in their hearts, "What kind of nonsense is this, hey!!" ’
