Marriage as a Game

Chapter 46 Flattery

Shen Chaoxi is not actually allergic to flowers, nor does he have any likes or dislikes.

Perhaps this elegant environment needed some beautiful things to embellish it, and she suddenly felt that the bouquet in front of her was very appropriate.

The fair white fingers gently flicked the flower bud, which had a pale white core covered with dew and an outer edge that was gradually turning red.

The faint fragrance of roses seems to be mixed with a kind of intoxication, making people feel dizzy.

In this drunken state, her words came out without thinking.

"Teacher Shang will go on a blind date here on the 3rd. It's still the same table, but the color of the roses will be different."

The roses were as red as fire that day!
Shen Chaoxi's clear gaze was still fixed on the flower petals, and his voice was very soft, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or curious.

"Oh? How did you know?" Shang Jianghan asked her with a smile on his face.

Shen Chaoxi looked at him. Wasn’t he the one who asked the question first?
This person speaks so cunningly!
"There are photos in the class group." Shen Chaoxi said as he looked through his phone, but he couldn't find the photo after searching around.

"Huh? It was clearly between these two sentences! Was it withdrawn? Impossible. How could it be withdrawn when the time limit has expired?" Shen Chaoxi seemed to be talking to himself.

At this time, the waiter pushed the dining table in again, served the meal, and asked Shang Jianghan if he wanted a drink.

Xiyuan has Shang Jianghan’s stock of wine, most of which are collection edition dry red wines.

"drive."

Shang Jianghan just said these two words lightly, and the waiter nodded and left.

The meal was quite pleasant and Shang Jianghan did not bring up the topic of blind date again.

The main course was removed and the dessert was served.

Shang Jianghan was not interested in these, but Shen Chaoxi looked at the various pastries on the exquisite porcelain plates and took pictures with his mobile phone first.

"Like to post on Moments?"

Most girls take photos to post on various circles to show off and express their feelings.

Shen Chaoxi took back his phone and replied, "I don't like posting on WeChat Moments." Then he used a fork to pick up a piece of the cake that looked the most ordinary and put it in his mouth.

She pursed her pink lips around the transparent knife and fork, and the light white cream quickly entered her mouth.

The girl eats in a very polite but not pretentious way.

Shang Jianghan had been holding back for a long time and finally felt the urge to smoke. He took out his cigarette box and raised it towards Shen Chaoxi.

"Don't mind, Mr. Shang, whatever you want."

You need to get the other person's consent before smoking; it is a matter of courtesy.

After finishing a piece of cake, Shen Chaoxi put down his fork and wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin.

Shang Jianghan drew a flame to light the cigarette, and the gray-white smoke puffed out, forming a veil of mist in front of him. He nodded his chin towards the dining table.

"You ordered so much, but you're only going to eat one?"

We ordered one of almost every kind of dessert after the meal, a total of twelve, each one was only the size of an unopened flower bud.

Shen Chaoxi has a good appetite. She didn't leave any of the steak just now. It can be seen that she is not the kind of girl who pursues beauty only by dieting.

"Yeah," Shen Chaoxi responded, picked up the water cup and took a sip.

"Can I pack it up later? My aunt likes pastries, but I can't eat them anyway, and it cost me money."

Maybe it was because she had eaten dessert, there was a hint of sweetness in the girl's voice, but her words were not at all shy.

The environment Shang Jianghan grew up in made him never care about the amount of material things.

He had never experienced anything like this before in all the times he went out to dine, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

When Shen Chaoxi saw the waiter coming to refill the tea, he asked if he could take the food away.

The waitress paused for a moment with her hand stretched out in the air, her expression managed as always, and she looked towards Shang Jianghan.

"Then pack it up, and pack up the items that aren't on the menu."

With Shang Jianghan's approval, the waiter nodded slightly and handled the matter efficiently.

"Thank you, Mr. Shang. I'll treat you to a meal I can afford when I have the chance. Don't be disgusted then."

The girl tilted her head and said.

"Yeah." Leng Bai tapped the cigarette body with his fingers, and Shang Jianghan asked an irrelevant question.

"What kind of food do you like to eat?"

"I grew up in the south, where I prefer spicy food. But when I came here, I found noodles to be pretty good, and I'm not too picky about food."

A few days ago, she ate two white steamed buns with chili sauce, which made Zheng Juanjuan stare in amazement, suspecting that she had exhausted the child.

"So there are some taboos?"

"Yeah," Shen Chaoxi nodded, "I don't eat coriander. I can't stand the taste. It stays in my mouth and I can't get rid of it! But my aunt likes it. Every time she cooks, she will leave me a portion without coriander."

"Is there anything else you don't like?"

Shen Chaoxi thought about the years when she was a firefighter. There weren't so many things to pay attention to, whether it was cold or hot, she really treated them like pigs.

She shook her head, "No more."

"What about Mr. Shang? How do you like it?"

In the spirit of reciprocity, Shen Chaoxi asked.

Shang Jianghan put out the half-smoked cigarette. He felt that nicotine was no longer as tempting as before.

"I prefer light food. I hate oily, meaty, and...spicy food."

It’s just the opposite of Shen Chaoxi, he added.

“Don’t like these desserts either.”

It is normal for men to have different tastes from women, and Shang Jianghan obviously belongs to the third category.

Shen Chaoxi nodded, "Very healthy!"

It’s pretty much the same as the diet the doctor gave my grandma!

There was a hint of smile in her eyes, and even though her eyelashes were half closed, Shang Jianghan still caught it.

“Feel like an old person?”

Shen Chaoxi suppressed his shock as his thoughts were half-seen and shook his head.

"Does healthy eating have to be exclusive to the elderly? For young people today, especially those like Mr. Shang who will shoulder great responsibilities in the future, it is the right choice to always take care of themselves."

Upon hearing this, Shang Jianghan laughed.

He rarely laughed so heartily, and even his tight jawline became a little softer.

"Flattery!"

Soon, the waiter brought the packaged desserts and the bill.

Shen Chaoxi stood up, watched Shang Jianghan sign his name with a stroke of the pen, and then walked out of the restaurant with him side by side.

In the lobby on the first floor, Shang Jianghan was tripped by an acquaintance, so he handed the keys and the exquisite packing bag to Shen Chaoxi.

"Wait for me in the car. Turn on the heater. It's a little chilly."

Shen Chaoxi noticed that someone was looking at her with scrutiny, so she understood, took the key and the bag and left the hall.

It had rained a little and the temperature at night was only around 10 degrees Celsius. Even a cashmere sweater could be blown through by the wind.

Shen Chaoxi quickly walked to the parking lot, opened the car door and got in.

The Phantom was operating on full automatic mode, and she searched for a while before finding the heater, which she switched to the lowest setting.

While waiting for Shang Jianghan, the class group became lively again.

Shen Chaoxi opened it and saw that everyone was discussing their test scores.

[Bad news! Bad news! The monthly exam scores are out! ]

[I have a prediction. I will still be at the bottom. I swear to the moon that if I can improve by five places, I will treat the whole class to milk tea! ]

[Half of the test paper is blank, unless the teacher is hallucinating! ]

[That extremely ugly tutor actually said that I was the dumbest student he had ever taught! ]

[I decided that after the holiday, I will change my ways and study according to the plan Shen Chaoxi made for me, and try not to be at the bottom of the class. I have to get a diploma! ]
