Chapter 1068: Restrained and Reserved

Su Mi Xue pursed her lips, and subconsciously grasped the white porcelain cup with her hands. Veins began to appear on the back of her hands.

At this moment, the landlady served rice noodles.

Pei Sicheng looked away, and Su Mixue breathed a sigh of relief.

A large brown porcelain bowl is filled with rice noodles and soup, and the aroma overflows from the bowl.

Sumixue added a little sesame oil to it and picked it up with chopsticks. The snow-white rice noodles were sparkling and translucent, and a layer of golden-red oily flowers slid down the black plastic chopsticks and dripped into the bowl.

She blew the hot air gently and put it into her mouth. The rice noodles were smooth in the mouth, accompanied by the sweet and sour soup.

Pei Sicheng held the chopsticks in his hand and greased the rice noodles until they were pure white, and then slowly and methodically put them into his mouth.

"The taste doesn't seem to have changed."

Su Mi Xue nodded, "The boss lady's craftsmanship is still so good."

Pei Sicheng remained calm and saw Sumixue's daze in his eyes.

He raised his lips and smiled, "So, some things in the world remain unchanged."

Su Mi Xue bit the rice noodles in her mouth, always feeling that there was something in his words. But she didn't continue the conversation.

During the meal, the two of them ate restrainedly and reservedly.

At meal time, there were gradually more diners in the shop.

"The boss lady is ordering", "A big bowl of rice noodles, add spicy and sesame oil", such calls kept coming and going.

In the bustling rice noodle shop, the tables of Su Mixue and Pei Sicheng seemed to have erected a natural barrier, and all the noise and excitement had nothing to do with them.

Pei Sicheng held the black sterilized chopsticks in his hands and ate the rice noodles in the bowl slowly and methodically. His movements were elegant, as if this was not a bowl of rice noodles, but a top-notch delicacy cooked by a star-rated chef.

She vaguely remembered that when she and Pei Sicheng had just established their relationship, they came here to eat rice noodles together.

Pei Sicheng finished the rice noodles with a slurp, but she had just established a relationship and always wanted to leave a ladylike image in front of her lover. She ate the rice noodles stuttering to avoid making any noise.

At that time, Pei Sicheng laughed at her for being too reserved and eating noodles with a loud noise. He also told her that in Japan, the louder you eat ramen, the more respect you show.

Unconsciously, he had changed his old habits.

Sumixue lowered her eyes and looked out the window. After autumn, the days gradually become shorter and the street lights gradually light up. There is a lot of traffic and people coming and going.

Everything in the world is changing quietly and unconsciously.

After eating rice noodles, Pei Sicheng took the initiative to pay the bill. The landlady also said that the order would be waived, so Pei Sicheng put down a red ticket, said there was no need to look for it, and left with Su Mixue.

Behind him, there was the voice of the proprietress trying to persuade him to stay. The diners were busy and the smell of sweet, sour and spicy rice noodles floated in the air.

What a lively human scene.

Pushing open the golden glass door of the rice noodle shop, the noise was reduced by half, and there was another kind of excitement outside.

Pei Sicheng pointed to the tree-lined avenue next to him, "Let's take a walk there."

Su Mi Xue nodded. She had just eaten a large bowl of rice noodles. Her stomach had not been so full for a long time, and a walk was just the right time to digest it.

This is close to No. 1 Middle School, and at six o'clock in the evening, it happens to be dinner time for the students.

On the road, you can see some students walking together in twos and threes.

He was smiling and his face was full of innocence.

When the two walked to the door of a gift shop, a male classmate suddenly ran out from inside.

When Su Mixue saw her male classmate, it was too late to take back the steps she took.

Seeing that the male classmate was about to hit her, a strong force suddenly came from her waist, picking her up and quickly retreating to the right side.

The male classmate landed exactly where Su Mixue had been standing just now.

He scratched his head and apologized to Su Mixue, "I'm sorry, sister, you're not hurt. I'm in a hurry and will be late for my evening self-study."

Sumixue shook her head, "I'm fine."

The boy tightened his schoolbag strap and ran away in three steps. A glass bottle fell under the steps, filled with various small and beautiful stars.

"Classmate, wait a minute, you dropped something." Su Mixue bent down and picked up the bottle.

Suddenly feeling familiar, she looked up at the plaque in the gift shop - "Xiaoxing".

In an instant, a corner of her heart trembled involuntarily.

When the male classmate heard Su Mi Xue's shout, he immediately turned back, took back the bottle of stars, and bowed to her to thank her, "Thank you, beautiful sister, and I wish you a happy marriage with this handsome big brother."

Su Mi Xue looked embarrassed, and her male classmate had already run away.

Pei Sicheng looked at Xiaoxing Gift Shop and said firmly: "Michelle, you have remembered."

Su Mi Xue's eyes were fixed on Pei Sicheng, and her eyes suddenly felt a little sour.

The gifts at Hyosung Gift Shop are very limited. They only sell stars.

There are stars in various materials in the store, including the simplest origami stars, luminous stars, fluorite stars, jade stars...

Of course, you can also make stars according to your own requirements and carve your own or the names of your friends or relatives into the stars.

I don’t know since when, there were rumors that before the college entrance examination, if you buy a star, you can get into the ideal school.

This may be the store owner's hype, but for the students, it won't cost too much to buy some stars.

Some parents even have an attitude of preferring to believe what they have rather than what they don’t, spending some money to buy a few buckets of stars and praying that their children will be admitted to a prestigious university.

Eighteen-year-old Su Mi Xue also bought a can of stars from Xiaoxing in order to enter the same university as Pei Sicheng.

It's just that the star she gave Pei Sicheng was more beautiful than this one. It was recolored and covered with gold, just like a real star.

"I have always treasured that jar of stars." Pei Sicheng's gentle voice came faintly from above his head.

Sumixue raised her head in surprise.

She slightly twitched the corners of her lips, pretending to be relaxed and said: "It would be too meaningless if you don't treasure the gift from your friend."

"I have many friends, and they have given me many gifts, but only yours, I have always treasured them." Pei Sicheng untied his tie and loosened a button.

Seeing Pei Sicheng's movements, Su Mixue subconsciously took a step back.

He is not a man with no limits like Lu Jueyun, but unbuttoning his shirt in the street is still a bit excessive.

Oops, why did she think of Lu Jueyun? How could he compare with Pei Sicheng.

Pei Sicheng saw Su Mixue's nervous look, with a smile on his lips. A silver necklace was drawn from the collar, and the pendant was in the shape of a hollow star.

He gently opened a star corner with his fingertips, and there was a golden star embedded in it.

It happened to be one of the stars in the jar she gave to Pei Sicheng, wrapped in a layer of golden glitter, like the dazzling starlight in the sky.

An expensive platinum necklace with a paper star.

Sumixue put her hand to her lips and stared at the star. She was speechless for a while, "You...this is?"

Pei Sicheng's tone was calm and gentle, "I can't hold a jar of stars all the time when I'm working. Firstly, I'm afraid of losing it. Secondly, it's inconvenient. It's the safest way to wear it around your neck."
