Chapter 5 Is there anything wrong with me looking at my husband?

"what?"

Lin Yi thought that Luo Qinghan suddenly came over to him because he wanted to ask him something.

"Nothing, you're cool."

"."

Can't you find a more decent excuse?
While Lin Yi was speechless, he began to think: What is this woman up to?
The two walked under the same umbrella, and no one spoke until they reached the food street near Soochow University. Luo Qinghan finally spoke.

"What are you going to eat for lunch? I've been to that western restaurant twice and it tastes pretty good."

Luo Qinghan's goal of coming out was to enter this western restaurant, but she didn't know why she wanted to introduce this restaurant to Lin Yi.

"Noodles with gravy."

Lin Yi simply answered with three words.

"There are not many people inside right now, so I'll go first."

Lin Yi is not short of living expenses now, but he still likes these ordinary snacks. They are cheap, filling and taste good.

Lin Yi had never eaten that kind of flashy Western food, nor did he want to eat it.

Lin Yi left the parasol very naturally, holding his mobile phone in one hand, and walked towards the inconspicuous noodle shop without looking back.

Luo Qinghan stood there, looking at Lin Yi's back, and two words emerged in her mind: loneliness.

She has always been a strong woman who likes to be alone. She has always felt that she can live a good life on her own. She believed this when she was in college and when she was studying abroad.

But she is a person after all, a woman. Sometimes she sits alone in front of the computer late at night, and the feeling of helplessness and emptiness is really strong.

As she grew older, this situation happened more and more frequently, so Luo Qinghan no longer resisted the blind dates arranged for her by her family.

But after going on blind dates with dozens of men in a row, she was not satisfied with any of them. Luo Qinghan could not see any sense of security that she wanted from these people, so she became a little numb.

When she saw that her blind date was Lin Yi, Luo Qinghan knew that he came from a good family and would not covet her money. The six months of contact also made her feel that although Lin Yi was casual, at least he would not cause trouble for her.

Therefore, Luo Qinghan accepted it. She thought that at worst she could just treat it as having a younger brother.

But today she found that Lin Yi seemed very different from what she had imagined, and she even saw some of her own shadows.

Perhaps laziness is just the release of the emotions he has been suppressing for a long time.

Luo Qinghan took another step forward and entered the noodle restaurant.

Lin Yi just finished ordering one meal at this time. He saw Luo Qinghan also walked in and was a little curious: "Didn't you go to eat Western food?"

"I've never had noodles with gravy. I want to try it."

Seeing this, Lin Yi made way for Luo Qinghan and let her order.

But Luo Qinghan looked at it for a long time and didn't know what flavor to eat, so he turned around and asked Lin Yi: "Which noodle soup is delicious?"

"They're all about the same. I ordered the Old Beijing Noodles with Gravy."

“Then I’ll have one of these, too.”

Luo Qinghan said to the boss.

Just as he was about to pay, Lin Yi reached out and scanned the code to pay for both orders.

"Boss, I paid for both."

"Ok."

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he sat down in an empty seat nearby, looking at his phone alone while waiting for the noodles to arrive.

Luo Qinghan sat opposite Lin Yi and asked, "Lin Yi, why do I feel like you don't look like a college student?"

Lin Yi was also startled and looked up at the other party: My time traveler's vest is about to fall off?
"What's different?"

"There is a sense of maturity that is not appropriate for someone your age."

Hearing this, Lin Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to look down at his phone: "You must be wrong. I'm just lazy."

"It's not laziness. The way you just paid and sat down was very much like the way a migrant worker in Beijing would look when he was ready to eat after a hard day's work." Luo Qinghan naturally had never seen a real migrant worker in Beijing. This was something she had seen from TV dramas.

Lin Yi's actions just now were so realistic, much more realistic than what was shown in the drama.

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment.

Drifting to the north? What a familiar phrase. In order to avoid family pressure to get married, Lin Yi, a southerner who had just graduated from college, went to the unfamiliar north alone.

I think only people who have also moved to Beijing can understand the feeling of loneliness and helplessness in a rental house.

"Maybe it's because I went to Yanjing alone for a period of time before, and it's a habit I developed."

Lin Yi explained casually.

Luo Qinghan didn't ask any more questions. It was obvious that Lin Yi didn't want to discuss this topic any further.

Seeing Lin Yi silently looking down at his phone, Luo Qinghan couldn't help feeling a little guilty, as if she had accidentally exposed someone else's scars.

"The noodles with gravy are here!"

The boss enthusiastically brought up two bowls of noodles with gravy.

Lin Yi skillfully poured the braised meat sauce into the noodles and stirred it. This is the simplest and most convenient way to eat noodles with braised meat.

Luo Qinghan had never eaten it before, so he followed Lin Yi's example.

After just the first bite, Luo Qinghan's taste buds were conquered by this authentic northern snack.

Plus, she was really hungry and ate very quickly, not paying much attention to her image.

"Teacher, have you never been to the North?"

Lin Yi's question made Luo Qinghan stop eating noodles. After realizing that he was eating in a rather unrestrained manner, a slight blush appeared on his face.

After biting off the noodles in his mouth and swallowing them, Luo Qinghan lowered his head and whispered, "I went to Yanjing to play when I was a child, but I haven't been there since then."

"So you've never had noodles with gravy?"

Luo Qinghan shook his head slightly, picked up a small piece of noodles with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth, as if he was eating secretly.

Lin Yi did not ask any more questions, but said to himself: The rich woman lives a simple and unpretentious life, and has never even eaten such authentic snacks.

Luo Qinghan ate very quickly. She had already finished all the noodles with gravy before Lin Yi had finished.

She did not leave in a hurry, but watched Lin Yi eat quietly, and couldn't help but look at her little husband.

He has a good appearance. Luo Qinghan has seen many handsome guys, and Lin Yi is not particularly stunning, but his youthful face reveals sunshine and tenderness.

But in his daily behavior, Lin Yi showed a laziness that was extremely inconsistent with his appearance.

And today, Luo Qinghan saw Lin Yi's mature side.

This strong contrast made Luo Qinghan look at Lin Yi differently.

"Why are you staring at me?"

Lin Yi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Luo Qinghan.

"Is there anything wrong with my husband?"

"???"

Lin Yi bit the noodles, holding the chopsticks in his right hand and the bowl in his left hand, with a surprised and dumbfounded expression, staring at the other person motionlessly.

Unexpectedly, Luo Qinghan took a photo of Lin Yi at this moment in a lightning speed.

Lin Yi also came back to his senses and put the noodles into his mouth: "What are you doing?"

"Take a picture of you. I don't have a picture of you yet."

"Then you should have told me earlier, I could have given you my handsome photo."

"No, I want the one just now."
