Gold Medal Sweetheart

Chapter 304 Simple Meal

Ever since Cheng Ran sent her home last time, he has asked her out several times. Although Tang Xin knows that the real reason why Cheng Ran suddenly went abroad was Cheng's mother's suggestion, she understands that Cheng Ran also has his helplessness.

But how can we make up for the time we have missed?

She couldn't face Cheng Ran without any grudges, and she didn't want to make their relationship complicated, so she rejected him several times on the grounds of being busy with work.

"Are you waiting for me here on purpose?" Tang Xin asked bluntly.

"Not only am I waiting here for you on purpose," Cheng Ran sighed somewhat discouragedly, "I also came to your school today to discuss cooperation because I asked a friend to act as an intermediary and recommend our company."

The man's eyes lingered quietly and gently on the girl's face, and the meaning of his words could not be more obvious.

"Tang Xin..." He murmured her name, as if every word was the salvation of his soul, "Please don't reject me, okay?"

"Let's have a simple meal." Tang Xin didn't look at him and walked straight towards his car.

The man probably didn't expect that she would agree so readily. Even though the girl brushed past his shoulder and walked past, he still stood there in a daze.

After a few seconds, he finally reacted with a flattered look on his face. His expression brightened and he quickly caught up with her. Then he walked to the passenger seat and opened the door for her.

Although Tang Xin just looked out the window without saying a word the whole way, leaving him with only a silent profile, he felt extremely comfortable and looked at her with a smile from time to time.

The car stopped outside a comprehensive supermarket. There were many restaurants here. Cheng Ran made a few suggestions, but it seemed that they all required a long wait for food, so Tang Xin did not adopt any of them.

When she reached a relatively quiet shop, she looked up at the sign that said "Small Bowl Dishes," and turned to Cheng Ran and said, "Let's go with this one."

Cheng Ran was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips into a wry smile. It was indeed a very simple meal.

Going to the front desk to order, Cheng Ran glanced at the menu on the wall and leaned over to ask her opinion, "Sweet and Sour Pork and Mapo Tofu?"

He still remembered that whenever they ate together in the cafeteria, these two dishes would never be absent from Tang Xin's plate.

"I haven't had such a strong flavor in a while," Tang Xin said calmly, "Let's have some egg, spinach, and yam with black fungus. It's light."

The girl's deliberate alienation hurt his heart. Cheng Ran stood there speechless, his eyes filled with loneliness and disappointment.

He adjusted his mood and said, "You go find a seat. I'll come over after I take the order."

Tang Xin nodded slightly and turned to go to a less crowded area inside.

After sitting down, Tang Xin's eyes fell on the elegant and tall figure at the front desk.

His gentle and refined temperament when talking to people was what she liked most about him during her student days. After so many years, the elegant and refined temperament of this man seemed to be even stronger than before. He was standing in front of her now, but he gave her an indescribable strange feeling.

She silently withdrew her gaze, opened the chat with Zhang Meng again, and carefully read the activity summary article of the nursing home again.

"What are you looking at?" Cheng Ran's voice sounded above his head.

As the man spoke, he sat down opposite Tang Xin.

"Nothing." She put away her phone.

Tang Xin answered indifferently, and it seemed that she had no desire to chat. Cheng Ran felt a tightness in his chest. The girl who used to chatter around him seemed to have disappeared.

Soon, the waiter brought the dishes over. Tang Xin took a look and saw several extra dishes that she hadn't ordered. She lowered her brows and said, "Actually, there's no need to order so much. We can't finish it all."

"When we were in school, we had limited pocket money, so we often ate in the cafeteria. I told you back then that when I started working, I would definitely take you to the best restaurants." Cheng Ran was lost in memories, his face tinged with a look of unsatisfied taste. "This time, we were just making do, so of course we had to order a few more."
