Lu Yan and Shen Ruoyan walked slowly because they were curious about the various shops on the road.

When the two arrived, everyone had already entered a private room, and there were only three empty seats left on the round table.

Near the window, two seats are connected together.

Another empty space is located near the wall.

Tang Manman, who had been walking in front of Lu Yan and Shen Ruoyan, took the lead in choosing one of the two seats connected together, and greeted Lu Yan: "Brother Lu, come and sit quickly!"

Lu Yan frowned quickly, with an obviously unhappy expression on his face, and said, "Get up."

Tang Manman didn't expect Lu Yan to show his face directly, and was stunned on the spot.

Lu Yan originally didn't want to take Shen Ruoyan to eat with so many people. Seeing that Tang Manman was motionless, he turned to Shen Ruoyan and said, "Let's go next door."

When other people at the dinner table saw this, they immediately said to Tang Manman, "What's the matter with you? Do you have good eyesight? Of course Mr. Lu is sitting with my cousin."

"Yes, these two window seats are specially reserved for Mr. Lu and my cousin."

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Tang Manman had to stand up, but when he passed by Shen Ruoyan, he explained with a smile: "Oh, I'm used to sitting. I see everyone likes my cousin so much, and I still want to Let her get so close to you, you guys are so ungrateful."

Her carefree look immediately livened up the already awkward atmosphere.

The few people who asked Tang Manman to change seats just now also laughed and said that they had let down her good intentions and it was really a sin.

Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but glance at Tang Manman.

I always feel that Tang Manman's words are deliberately implying that if Shen Ruoyan is not here, then the person sitting next to Lu Yan must be her, and everyone seems to have acquiesced in this, which shows how good her relationship with Lu Yan is. .

Before Shen Ruoyan had time to think about it, Lu Yan beside him had completely turned down and said coldly: "She doesn't need to be close to others."

With that said, he sat down with Shen Ruoyan.

Everyone stopped teasing.

However, because Lu Yan was usually cold and indifferent, everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with what he just said. They enthusiastically placed the food list in front of Shen Ruoyan and asked, "Cousin, what do you like to eat?"

"Cousin, can you eat spicy food?"

"My cousin has a famous dish, beggar's chicken. I wonder if you have ever tried it. Let's order one to try."

These calls from his cousin made Lu Yan's face grow colder and colder, his eyebrows lowered, and a deep aura exuded all over his body.

Sensing his abnormality, Shen Ruoyan, who was sitting next to Lu Yan, quietly stretched out her hand and squeezed Lu Yan's fingers flatteringly under the table.

The other party was obviously startled.

He grabbed Shen Ruoyan's hand into his palm with his backhand and showed her an aggrieved expression.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Shen Ruoyan would have really wanted to laugh out loud.

After living two lives, she discovered that Lu Yan was still a jealous person.

Others just called her cousin a few times, and that made him feel wronged like this.

Because they were all young people, the dinner table was very lively, and no one noticed the two of them holding hands tightly under the table.

Everyone finished ordering the dishes.

The waiter was about to go out when Lu Yan, who had been silent until now, suddenly said: "Another bowl of white porridge."

Hearing Lu Yan speak, the waiter immediately looked at him with bright eyes, as if Lu Yan had ordered some expensive dishes, and responded loudly with a smile: "Okay! I'll let the kitchen cook it for you right away!"

After speaking, he ran away in a hurry.

Maybe I heard that Mr. Lu ordered this porridge. Not long after, the boss personally brought a bowl of white porridge over.

"Master Lu, this is the porridge you want." The boss carefully placed the bowl on the table. "It has just been boiled. Be careful to scald it. You can eat it slowly."

Lu Yan nodded lightly to his boss to express his gratitude.

The middle-aged boss immediately smiled stupidly as if he had received some kind of reward. His inner joy could be seen even from his back as he left.

Shen Ruoyan had to lament Lu Yan's popularity in Yizhou.

Lu Yan stirred the bowl with a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of porridge, and turned the spoon slightly sideways. The white and crystal-clear rice grains were wrapped in the rice soup and flowed into the bowl, creating a light layer of steam.

Scoop it up and pour it down again.

I did it several times, but never saw him take a bite.

When Shen Ruoyan was a little puzzled, Lu Yan pushed the bowl of cold porridge in front of Shen Ruoyan, "You didn't eat anything last night, drink some porridge first to warm your stomach."

The two of them were the focus of the dinner table.

Lu Yan's move was immediately noticed by everyone.

A few of the more daring ones couldn't help but say: "Master Lu is so attentive. He seems to have a brother like this. Unlike my brother, we have been fighting each other since we were young. When we were young, he even wanted an egg." Grab it from me."

"How dare you, a grown man, say this?" the person sitting on his left said, "If you were half as beautiful as my cousin, your brother would definitely leave all the eggs in the house to you."

His words caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Amid the laughter, someone asked Tang Manman, "By the way, how is your brother doing lately? I haven't seen Brother Tang for quite some time."

Hearing someone mention her brother, Tang Manman's expression suddenly became a little strange, and she casually prevaricated: "What can happen to him? He stays in his room all day long. By the way, what happened to the water diversion gate you mentioned this morning? Please tell me more about it."

Tang Manman's words successfully brought the topic to business matters.

When talking about their professional fields, everyone's chat box opened up instantly, and everyone expressed their own opinions. From the sluice to the water source, and then to the construction of the canal, even Lu Yan, who has always been quiet, would occasionally put forward a few words of his own. the opinion of.

Of course, Shen Ruoyan couldn't talk to her about this kind of thing, but everyone here was a knowledgeable person carefully selected by Lu Yan. Even though sometimes they didn't agree with each other, they could argue with each other and quote some classics. words, you can point out the crux of the problem.

Shen Ruoyan sat quietly aside, eating the vegetables in the bowl, listening carefully, and gained a lot.

She soon discovered that every time Lu Yan said something, Tang Manman was always the first to echo, "Brother Lu is absolutely right. I also feel that it is not easy to rush into digging the canal. There is still a lot that we need to do right now." Things to resolve.”

I don't know if it was her own misunderstanding, but Shen Ruoyan always felt that Tang Manman was deliberately trying to please Lu Yan and create an atmosphere of mutual sympathy between the two.

Thinking of this, Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but glance at Tang Manman.

Sensing her gaze, Tang Manman showed a provocative expression to Shen Ruoyan, and then began to express his views on transforming the canal.

Shen Ruoyan lowered her head to eat, not paying attention to her at all.
