Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Very Distinctive
Soon, the waiter finally managed to serve the dish before them.
At this moment,
Liu Zheng did indeed feel quite refreshed.
Although the menu wasn’t much different from others, the dish served was clearly made with care.
Its presentation was truly unique and distinctive.
"My God, their place really has its own character; even the plating has so much style,"
Liu Zheng couldn’t help but praise aloud.
He truly had never seen such style before and was incredibly astonished by it.
After hearing such praise, Liu Jiaxin was very pleased indeed.
This was the restaurant she had selected after much deliberation.
Wasn’t it a good thing that she had managed to please him?
"Really? I’m glad you like it,"
"Of course, I’ve really never seen this kind of presentation before; I must say it’s quite original,"
Jiaxin said, eating and speaking at the same time.
"Then you should try its flavor; it’s also amazing. I think it’s even better than the restaurant my family runs."
Unexpectedly, Liu Jiaxin held such high regard for it, making Liu Zheng increasingly curious. He didn’t hesitate to pick up his chopsticks, ready to taste and see just how delicious it could be.
After taking a bite, he really did find it incredibly marvelous.
A flavor he had never experienced before,
yet it was extremely delicious.
He had thought it would be similar to other places, but never imagined it to be so surprising. Its unique qualities were well-executed, which made Liu Zheng very fond of it. He certainly would revisit this restaurant if the chance arose.
"In the future, if we have the opportunity, we should return to this restaurant; it has really made a lasting impression on me,"
Upon hearing these words, the person opposite him was quite delighted, since it was her selection, and she was obviously satisfied.
"Sure, if we have the chance, let’s come here more often."
As Liu Zheng was still speaking, he suddenly heard her suggest this, and he quickly understood her implication.
Could it be that she truly had feelings for him? Otherwise, she wouldn’t have uttered such words.
But why? It seemed like they didn’t have many interactions, so how could her fondness for him have developed so quickly?
This really puzzled Liu Zheng, as he was entirely unclear about the situation.
Little did he know, it was all because he reminded Jiaxin so much of an old acquaintance. Otherwise, Liu Jiaxin wouldn’t have harbored such thoughts about him.
It was just uncertain when Jiaxin would reveal the truth.
And Liu Zheng was completely unaware of it.
But he could certainly sense that Jiaxin’s attitude towards him had undergone a significant shift, and she was quite proactive in many respects.
Although many women in his circle liked him, Jiaxin was the first of her kind.
The two of them chatted and drank, feeling genuinely content.
Initially, they had gotten acquainted because of a farce, and hadn’t expected to get along so well in subsequent conversation.
"Aiyo, really? I’ve never thought that such things happened in your restaurant."
Liu Zheng listened to her talk about the interesting stories from her restaurant and indeed found them quite amusing.
Liu Jiaxin in front of him laughed while slapping her thigh.
"Yeah, I never thought that either, and there’s not just one incident like this—I feel like running a restaurant really allows you to earn a lot of oddballs and witness many things."
"Especially this one time..."
She began to talk nonstop again.
And these amusing and funny incidents indeed kept Liu Zheng laughing continuously without pause.
It seemed that these stories were just too interesting.
"Good heavens, I never thought it would be like this, now I want to open a restaurant myself. Maybe I’d encounter a lot of eccentrics too."
They finished the dishes on their table and ordered more.
But they had already drunk quite a bit of alcohol.
Liu Zheng hadn’t taken such a pill this time, but today she had truly enjoyed her drinks.
By the time the two of them were full and had enough to drink, they both felt slightly drunk.
At this moment, Liu Jiaxin couldn’t help but lean on Liu Zheng.
She raised her hand to gently press her temples and couldn’t resist saying,
"Oh my God, I was so happy just now, I drank too much; now my head feels a bit woozy."
After she said that, Liu Zheng couldn’t help but raise his hand to gently touch her cheek, finding it was indeed very hot.
"Do you have an allergy to alcohol?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiaxin was stunned. As a female boss who frequently socialized, she had been drinking for many years—how could she be allergic to alcohol?
"No way, I’ve been drinking for so many years. If I were allergic, I would have noticed it long ago; it can’t be something I’m just realizing now."
Hearing that, Liu Zheng just smiled slightly.
"No, it’s not that. Many allergy symptoms aren’t severe. You tend to flush when you drink, which could be considered an allergy, but it’s not serious. Don’t worry, it’s not dangerous for your health, just drink less."
After hearing this, the person in front of him finally had a realization. She had thought it was something serious, but it seemed it wasn’t too severe.
"Well, you really are a doctor, to know so much about this."
Perhaps because she had drunk a little too much, the face before her seemed more and more like that person from her past in her daze.
For a moment, she couldn’t help but stare.
At that moment, the woman in front of him also couldn’t help but raise her hand to gently touch his face.
Her gaze became infatuated.
Could he have come back?
Why does he look so similar?
She really didn’t understand.
And when Liu Zheng saw Liu Jiaxin making such a gesture, he also felt it was incredibly unbelievable, having no idea what she meant.
At that moment, he stood still like a statue, motionless.
Just letting her gently touch him.
