Cheng Yi Extra (10)

Cheng Lao Qi Restaurant.

It was lunch time and the restaurant was crowded.

Ye Xiaoran made a reservation on the phone on the way here. Cheng Yi arrived faster than she did and sat down to wait for her.

The restaurant is an old restaurant with no private rooms. The tables are neatly arranged in rows. Because there are many people eating at noon, there is a situation of sharing tables.

The aroma of food filling the room along with the lively chatter and laughter is extremely appetizing.

Most of the people eating were office workers nearby, and those with dyed hair had relatively low-key colors. Cheng Yi's pink hair easily attracted attention, and coupled with his extraordinary appearance, the opposite sex in the restaurant was eating together. I couldn't help but enjoy the pleasant discussion in low voices.

When Ye Xiaoran came in, the four young girls sitting at the door were discussing Cheng Yi, saying that he was handsome and better-looking than a certain celebrity, and they also guessed who he was waiting for, whether he was his girlfriend?

girlfriend?

Ye Xiaoran touched his nose and felt that as he was walking in the direction of Cheng Yi, he was probably confirming the scandal in this small restaurant.

Really...

He is so eye-catching that he feels... unsafe wherever he puts it.

Ye Xiaoran was wearing daily casual clothes today, less of the domineering handsomeness on the stage and more of the aura of human fireworks.

When she put down her backpack and sat across from Cheng Yi, she clearly felt the gaze coming towards her, but she didn't care. For someone who often performed, she was already used to being stared at.

Ye Xiaoran looked at the blank order menu he filled in on the menu and said, "Wait for me to order?"

"Well, at the place you choose, you definitely know what food is delicious." Cheng Yi said.

"Okay, let me have some. You don't have any new taboos, right?" Ye Xiaoran asked.

"Yes, I don't eat Houttuynia cordata." Cheng Yi said that he accidentally ate it a few years ago. At that time, he simply couldn't understand that such an ingredient existed in the world.

"Little Princess Cheng, why are you so squeamish?" Ye Xiaoran blurted out. This was the 'black nickname' she gave Cheng Yi back then. Cheng Yi was outraged at the time, but later he accepted it as a matter of course. She sometimes used this title. Make fun of him.

As soon as this title was spoken, both of them suddenly fell silent.

It seemed like I was transported back to that summer at the sports meeting.

After he participated in the high jump event, he sat in the rest area to rest. She brought him a bottle of mineral water. He said he wanted to drink soda, and she went to the school store to buy it for him. He asked her to unscrew the bottle cap while muttering to him. I prefer another brand, but when I drink it, I find it too cold.

His pretentiousness made Ye Xiaoran laugh angrily. She wanted to pour the soda directly on his head, and said through gritted teeth: "Little Princess Cheng, you are so squeamish."

And now...

She still spoke so naturally, as if the two of them had never changed when they were still young.

"Yeah, I'm just squeamish. It's not the first day you know this." After the silence, Cheng Yi answered naturally.

"I took a look and there is no Houttuynia cordata option on the menu, don't worry." Ye Xiaoran said.

There was no awkwardness between the two of them because of the brief silence.

In fact, the two reunited after a long absence. Although many things have changed, they are not strangers, as if they have bridged the distance brought by the past few years.

Ye Xiaoran ordered the food, and Cheng Yi lowered his eyes and replied to the message.

After ordering the food, give the menu to the waiter and go to the kitchen to place the order.

Ye Xiaoran looked at Cheng Yi. He lowered his eyes, his eyelashes were curled up, some of his pink bangs rested on his eyelashes, and there seemed to be a pink light falling under his eyes, which was bright.

His nose was delicate and his lips were orange-red, as if he had applied a light layer of lipstick.

Bright eyes, white teeth, red lips and white teeth should be how he is described.

He seemed to know that she was looking at him, so he continued typing without raising his eyes and said, "Why, have you seen how I've changed?"

She smiled and said in a pretended serious tone: "It hasn't changed much. It still has two ears, one pair of eyes, one nose, and one mouth."

Cheng Yi raised his eyes to look at her and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Otherwise, wouldn't I have to scare you if I come to see you if I'm missing something?"

Ye Xiaoran: "Yes.

"

Cheng Yi put down his phone and chatted with her: "So, I don't think you have changed."

She pretended to be hurt and said, "Really? It seems that you didn't have a deep impression of me before, and you didn't realize that there was something completely different about me."

Cheng Yi looked like I was watching your performance, and said calmly: "Tell me, what is completely different? If you can't tell me, don't go out here today, and you will be forced to wash dishes for the boss."

Ye Xiaoran: "Tsk, it really hurts my heart. My once dearest deskmate didn't notice that my voice had changed?"

Cheng Yi suddenly realized: "Oh"

He found out the first thing he said when they met again. He didn't ask because he didn't want to open her wounds.

Now that she brought it up herself, Cheng Yi knew that she wanted to take the initiative to confess.

Ye Xiaoran's mood was calm, and his tone seemed to be talking about something insignificant, saying:

"I forgot when it was. I was ignorant at that time. I had a high fever and a cold but I still insisted on singing. As a result, my voice broke, and it ended up like this. Fans said it was called... a smokey voice."

She said it very casually, but Cheng Yi knew how heavy the past was behind her casualness.

Gao Feng insisted on singing because he was burdened with huge debts, so he didn't dare to rest even when he was sick.

If you only sing one or two songs, and you don't continue to sing for a long time when you are sick, it will not lead to such consequences.

Cheng Yi's heart felt like it was being pinched, but he pretended to be relaxed: "Your fans are very knowledgeable, and your singing voice is really nice."

He listened to his own song...

Ye Xiaoran keenly grasped the key points from Cheng Yi's words.

I had lunch with Cheng Yi and visited some special attractions in Haicheng in the afternoon.

She didn't hide her experiences over the years and briefly talked to Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi heard her calmly say that her family's business had suffered a loss and she owed a debt. She had been earning money to repay it all these years...

Below these words, she did not say anything about the hardship behind each word.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, before leaving, Cheng Yi made an appointment with her for dinner tomorrow.

"If it's convenient, you can bring Xiaohan and Auntie with you. I haven't seen them in a few years." Cheng Yi said.

When he was in high school, it rained once after school, and the car that came to pick him up broke down halfway. When Ye’s father came to pick up Ye Xiaoran, he also picked him up. When returning to his house, he would pass by Ye’s house first, so he ate at Ye’s house. Father Ye sent him home after dinner.

Later, in order to thank Father Ye, his parents also invited the Ye family to their home. The two families came back and forth and had dinner together several times.

Cheng Yi and Ye Xinghan had a good relationship at that time. Sometimes Ye Xinghan, who was in junior high school, would go to his sister to play with Cheng Yi under the pretext of going to school after school. The rebellious Ye Xinghan had a kind of obsessive admiration for Cheng Yi at the time and would always follow him. 'Cheng Yi Ge, Cheng Yi Ge'.
