Chapter 37

Yan Liang was forcibly taken back to the hotel by the sponsor, so he had to call the crew and tell them that the company had a temporary arrangement, and the itinerary might be different from what was previously discussed.But he will still attend the event on time, so that the other party can rest assured.

In view of Yan Liang's consistent reputation, even if he was upset, he would not say it out loud, but politely asked him to pay attention to the time and not to be late.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Liang breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the production team this time is all well-known figures in the industry. If he really offends, it will really narrow the road.

But there was a big Buddha there, and there was a wayward ancestor in front of him. Qin Yuan refused to let him go back to pick up his luggage, and even asked his assistant to buy a new set of clothes in the nearest commercial street and deliver them directly.

Yan Liang wanted to argue a few words at first, but was pushed and dragged by Qin Yuan into the bathroom, with the reason that "it's so dirty, hurry up and clean it up".

"..." He glanced at the stains on the collar, and did not refute.

When she got out of the shower, the new clothes hadn't been delivered yet, so Yan Liang had no choice but to put on the hotel's bathrobe, the size was a little too small for some reason, her fair calf was exposed in the air, and the hot water evaporated into a faint pink color .

Yan Liang dried her hair in the bathroom, and when she came out, she saw Qin Yuan sitting by the huge French window, with unfinished wine and an ashtray on the table.

The man held the remaining half of a cigarette between his fingers, and when he put it to his mouth subconsciously, he was amputated halfway by a hand.Yan Liang bent down slightly, took the remaining half of the cigarette as it should, and put it in his mouth with a smile.

Qin Yuan glared at him: "What are you doing?"

Alcohol and cigarettes took turns to torture him, making his voice extremely hoarse, so Yan Liang followed the wine glass on the table, went to the kitchen to clean it briefly, and poured a glass of hot water.

"Although Young Master Qin is still young, you must pay attention to your body." The half of the cigarette biting his mouth burned to the end, and the ash fell down as he spoke, staining his bathrobe, which was a size too small.

Qin Yuan stared at the collarbone protruding from the man's collar, and suddenly couldn't think of the reason for his anger, until the smell of smoke wafted in the air, making him cough lightly, and hurriedly drank water to cover up: " ……Um."

Yan Liang watched the man's hair twitch when he lowered his head to drink water, the corners of his mouth deepened slightly, and he snuffed out the last bit of the cigarette holder, "What do you want to eat later? I know what specialties are around here..."

As soon as this was mentioned, the Eldest Young Master's face turned down again: "You guys had a good time shopping."

The sourness in these words was too obvious, Yan Liang couldn't help laughing, subconsciously wanted to put his arms around the other's head and rub it vigorously a few times, but he still pissed off the benefactor, and sighed regretfully.

"We are normal colleagues, and I did my homework before I came here." Yan Liang lowered her voice and patiently comforted her: "I think that if one day we can be together..."

When he reached this point, he suddenly fell silent. After waiting for a long time, Qin Yuan didn't see what was going on, and raised his legs a little irritably: "...together what?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt that he shouldn't talk too much, so he "hummed" heavily, and lowered his face: "I hate people who talk half the most."

"...I'm trying to organize my words." Yan Liang's eyes curled into smiles, and even his tone became lighter: "Actually, I was thinking about where we should go if one day we have the opportunity to go out together. .”

"So I checked a lot of maps and made a lot of strategies... Well, are you free later?"

"……how."

"Let's go shopping nearby," Yan Liang invited, "There is a commercial center nearby, and there is a very famous local restaurant in it. It has also been on food shows and won awards."

"There is an ancient milk tea shop opposite that shop, and the taste is quite good..."

He spoke logically, as if he had really made full preparations for the "date" that would come at an unknown time. This surprised Qin Yuan, but at the same time brought out a little unspeakable joy. Much better.

But after a second thought, he became vigilant again, narrowed his eyes suspiciously and looked at the other person for a moment, and after confirming that the sincere emotion in Yan Liang's eyes was not half false, he relaxed his sitting posture slightly as if he was relieved.

"...Mmm." The young master lowered his head seemingly casually, but involuntarily clasped the armrest with his fingers, and his speech speed was slightly faster: "Then you...you pack up, we will go out later."

That's how things settled.

About half an hour later, the two of them really appeared on the commercial street across the road, but with the previous lesson, Yan Liang even put on a hat this time, covering her whole body tightly, not even her eyebrows. exposed.

This made Qin Yuan very unhappy, and wished he could spend a lot of money to take down the mall, but that would be too high-profile and would only bring about the opposite effect.

So he had no choice but to hold back his temper and watched the man deftly go to the front desk to get the ticket for the queue, then pulled up the corner of his sleeve, and led the patron away from the bustling crowd at the door.

The ancient milk tea shop opened at an inconspicuous corner of the shopping mall. The storefront was relatively dilapidated, and it looked very out of place with the colorful signs around it.Yan Liang straightened the black mask on his face and lowered his voice: "Two cups of stocking milk tea, one with less sugar and one with added sugar."

"One more plain egg waffle, one baked cold noodle..."

Because the seats in the store were already full, the two had no choice but to go to an inconspicuous corner of the square. Qin Yuan asked people to patrol around, and after making sure that there were no paparazzi, he took off Yan Liang's sunglasses impatiently: "Wearing this thing at night is like a blind man."

"Isn't this just for insurance?" Yan Liang let him move without laughing, while lowering her head, she inserted the milk tea in her hand into a straw and handed it to the other party: "Here, this cup is with sugar."

"...I don't like sweets." The young master frowned awkwardly, but he still reached out to take it and took a sip.

Although it is said to be sugar-added, the milk and tea flavors in the milk tea are very strong, and the bitterness and strong aroma are just right, and the entrance is smooth, and you can't stop at all.

The egg waffles I bought earlier were a bit cold, Yan Liang unwrapped the wrapping paper, and handed it to the young master: "Eat something to cushion it first, the meal will have to wait for a while."

"It's really troublesome." The benefactor frowned, reluctantly took a bite of the cheap snack, and said vaguely, "Can't you give them some money to wait a little longer?"

"It wouldn't be interesting if everything was settled with money." Yan Liang said on the lips, but thought in his heart: In that case, he wouldn't be like Ning Xi.

City B is a well-known tourist city. Compared with the newly developed city A, it is older and has more local characteristics-especially the food.

When I was young, the conditions in the orphanage were limited. There were not many TV sets, and most of them were placed in the public hall. Since there were children of all ages in the orphanage, most of the time, they played something that everyone could watch. .

At that time, Ning Xi was growing his body, and his appetite was comparable to that of a rice bucket, but he did not gain any flesh. Seeing that he had to eat extra meals every day, but his body was still so thin that only a handful of bones were left. The dean was afraid that he would eat four meals a day. After eating five meals, his stomach was ruined, so he specially told the kitchen not to cook for him in the middle of the night.When Ning Xi is very hungry, she will come to Yan Liang, and pull him to wait in front of the TV, waiting for the food show at [-] o'clock every Wednesday night.

And that program mainly introduced famous snacks from all over the country. Ning Xi often stared at the fragrant pictures on the screen and drooled, but they were still young at that time, and they couldn't go far away, so they could only watch .

As a result, there was an episode that talked about City B, and Ning Xi couldn't sit still, and carefully wrote down every address in that small notebook, with an attitude that was more serious than doing homework—he told Yan Liang while writing down, in the future If there is a chance, he must go to eat all these restaurants in person.

"Wait until you become an adult first." Yan Liang pampered the boy's black hair: "When you become an adult, I should have worked for a few years, and when I have saved money, I will take you and Yan Mo on a trip..."

"Then follow my strategy!" Ning Xi said excitedly, her eyes were illuminated by the light and shadow on the screen, like the brightest stars in the sky.

Yan Liang: "All you are looking for are online celebrity shops, how long will it take to queue up this day."

"You don't understand, queuing is also a part of enjoying delicious food. Don't you think that eating something you've been waiting for for a long time will double your happiness?" Ning Xi said seriously: "I want to go out and have a look, I want to eat food from all over the world. Different cuisines, I want to experience the local customs there. Brother Yan, I think my dream should be to be a gourmet, as long as I eat, drink and play, I can live well..."

"You have a good idea." Yan Liang laughed: "There are no such good things in the world, you don't look at some people who are glamorous on the surface, but they don't know how hard they are living in private."

"After all, there's never a free lunch in this world."

Qin Yuan was about to stuff the last piece of cold noodles into his mouth, but when he was done, he thought he remembered something, coughed dryly: "...do you want more?"

"Huh?" Yan Liang recovered from the memories, looked up at the gold master who was holding the snack box, and at the little sauce stained on the corner of the other's lips.

"I'll eat it if you don't want it." Qin Yuan subconsciously said something, and suddenly realized something was wrong: I can definitely buy another one!

So it was logical to dispel the last trace of worry, he stuffed the last piece of food into his mouth, and stuffed it into his stomach in twos and threes.

Yan Liang blinked suddenly: "How is it?"

"What is it."

"...the taste," the young man murmured, "Describe it, is it good or bad?"

Qin Yuan frowned suspiciously, a little impatiently: "What's the taste, isn't this a very common snack? It's not a full banquet, describe it as a P..." He scratched his hair impatiently: "How long do we have to wait? , I’m starving to death, if I knew it, I wouldn’t listen to you, and I have to queue.”

Yan Liang asked softly: "Don't you think that eating something you've been waiting for for a long time will double your happiness?"

Qin Yuan sneered: "Are you out of your mind?"

"Well," Yan Liang's eyelashes drooped, he took a deep breath and let it out like a sigh: "It's just a failed joke, don't take it too seriously."

Just at this time, the set queuing reminder rang, and Yan Liang glanced at the phone: "Let's go, we'll be waiting in line."
