Chapter 18 Eavesdropping (3)
If she invited him to dinner, would he feel like she was making excuses to get close to him?
Cheng Yin shivered, she didn't want to be involved in this "crime".

But no matter what, thanks still have to be expressed.

That night, Cheng Yin did not work overtime, and went to a boutique shopping mall in the urban area to pick out a Montblanc fountain pen for Yang Fan—she remembered that when he wrote notes, he used an ordinary ballpoint pen.

The pen she chose has a black body and a ring of silver-white metal inlaid on the cover. It is generous, simple and relatively low-key, which fits Yang Fan's temperament very well.

Originally, I planned to wait for the day when Yang Fan came to the company, pretending to be very casual to give it to him, but after waiting for more than a week, Yang Fan's shadow disappeared, and I was looking forward to Shu Yan.

Cheng Yin had nothing to do, and she didn't want to wait any longer. Naturally, the sooner the better, the sooner the better. If it was delayed too late, it would be deliberate, so she asked Shu Yan to help pass it on.

"Just give it to him directly, just say that I thank him, he understands."

Shu Yan seemed to be used to helping them do this kind of mindless transfer work, she didn't ask anything, and agreed with a smile.

That night, Yang Fan called Cheng Yin, "What do you want to thank me for?"

He was smiling, and he should be in a good mood.

"You helped me analyze the data when I was in Linjiang! My report was praised by Gordon, and he also gave me some opportunities to do things independently. Without your help, I wouldn't have such a good result."

Yang Fan said with a smile: "If you want to thank him sincerely, you have to invite him to dinner. Just giving a gift seems cold."

Cheng Yin was surprised, "Ha! It turns out that you are so demanding - I didn't say no, I was afraid that you would not have time."

"There's always time to eat."

"That's fine!" Cheng Yin heard that he didn't seem to be joking, so she said straightforwardly, "You can set a time, I can do it at noon or at night."

Yang Fan really thought about it, and said: "I don't have any entertainment tomorrow night, so how about making an appointment tomorrow night?"

"No problem! By the way, do you want to call the third brother?"

Yang Fan paused, "Yes! Anyway, you pay the bill."

"Then it's settled! What do you like to eat?"

"I'm not particularly particular about food. Since you're treating guests, it's up to you to make up your mind."

"How about Sichuan food?"

A few days ago, Cheng Yin followed Liu Zongwei to a dinner party, and there were two famous Sichuan dishes, which she never forgot after eating.

"Can you eat spicy food?"

"Of course I can! Sichuan cuisine is delicious!" When it came to eating, Cheng Yin immediately became excited, "Wait a minute, I'll check online to find out which restaurant has more authentic Sichuan cuisine!"

On the second night, Cheng Yin and Yang Fan were the only ones who appeared at the entrance of the Sichuan restaurant. Tang Ye was busy and couldn't come.

The decoration of this restaurant is unremarkable, but there are so many diners, you don't want to eat without a reservation, as soon as you walk in, the spicy smell that hits your face makes Cheng Yin sneezed on the spot.

"Are you sure you can eat spicy food?" Yang Fan stared at her suspiciously.

"Yes!" Cheng Yin wiped her nose with a tissue and replied nonchalantly.

Yang Fan is in charge of ordering the dishes, all of which are the signature dishes here, such as spicy chicken, fish head with chopped pepper, fish with pickled cabbage...

Every time Cheng Yin was asked for her opinion, she kept nodding as if she was about to drool.

When the dishes were served one after another, her calmness was immediately revealed. After taking two bites of dishes, she fanned her mouth with the palm of her hand, panting like a little pug dog.

Yang Fan had no choice but to bring her a cup of herbal tea. Cheng Yin soaked her tongue in cold water with tears in her eyes and refused to come out for a long time.

"You can't eat spicy food and you still come here?" Yang Fan didn't know whether to scold her or laugh at her.

"Sichuan food—it's delicious—well!" Cheng Yin answered with tears in her eyes.

It is obviously impossible to have enough to live and suffer like this, so Yang Fan had to call in the waiter again.

Ordering dishes without chili in an authentic Sichuan restaurant sounded like a visit to the restaurant. After repeated negotiations, the restaurant agreed to make a stewed egg with meat floss and a plate of fried green vegetables without chili.

Next, Cheng Yin could only watch Yang Fan slowly stuffing delicious dishes into her mouth with infinite envy and hatred.

"Gorden started asking you to work on projects independently?" Yang Fan distracted her by bringing up a topic.

"Yeah." Cheng Yin finally turned her eyes from the dishes to Yang Fan's face, "Are you and Gordon familiar?"

Yang Fan didn't hide from her, "We were colleagues in Chicago for a year. He was very insightful in his work, but unfortunately Americans sometimes couldn't understand his ideas. With the news of a large number of recruits, I brought my wife and children back to China."

I see.Cheng Yin thought to herself, it was strange that Gordon was reassuring about everything to him, it really had a long history.

The two new dishes did not come, Cheng Yin felt empty in her stomach, and the burning sensation in her mouth seemed to have calmed down, she felt itchy, and couldn't help but want to grab a piece of fresh and tender fish to taste.

As soon as the chopsticks were stretched out, another pair of chopsticks came from mid-air and tapped lightly on the back of his hand.

"Heal the scar and forget the pain?" Yang Fan scolded her with thin eyes.

Cheng Yin could only withdraw her hand embarrassingly.

Yang Fan looked at her childish greedy face and couldn't help laughing, "I suddenly remembered the first time I saw you."

Cheng Yin's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly smiled freely, "Isn't it the time when the eldest brother and sister-in-law got married?"

"Yes, you and Xiaowei are hiding in the tree."

"It's not hiding! We went to find the bird's nest. Then you called Xiaowei under the tree, and he went down immediately. I thought, wow! Who is so capable and can control a kid Docile?"

"You were a brat then!" Yang Fan sneered.

Cheng Yin's eyebrows brightened when she recalled that time, because every detail was as clear as if it was engraved in her mind, "Then I parted the branch and looked down like this—"

"Then I saw a pair of big rogue eyes!" Yang Fan cut off the rest of the conversation smoothly, "Guess what was my first reaction at that time?"

"What?" Cheng Yin stared at him vigilantly, feeling that there would be no good words.

"Why is there a little mud monkey hidden in the tree?" Yang Fan couldn't help it anymore, and laughed loudly.

"Hey!" Cheng Yin slammed the bone plate with chopsticks and yelled angrily, "It's too much! The third brother in vain always praised you for being honest and honest, so your mouth is so bad!"

Yang Fan's smile seemed uncontrollable, no matter how hard he could hold it back, he kept saying "sorry", but thinking about it, he still had to laugh.

"It's really similar! You can imagine yourself."

Cheng Yin stared at him angrily at first, and then she couldn't hold back her laughter. Of course she knew that she had such lively and curious eyes. won't admit it.

Yang Fan had laughed enough, so he went back in time to make amends, "Actually, I really didn't hurt you. This shows that your eyes are very bright, don't you think?"

The eyes of the two suddenly focused on one place. Yang Fan's original intention was to find more convincing details in her eyes. Without bluntly, he took his eyes away from her face.

Cheng Yin's heart also felt hot, it turned out that she still couldn't look at him, she felt a sudden electric shock, the influence of nine years was too deep, it was hard to get rid of it in a short while.

Her dishes were finally ready, the eggs were stewed tender, but still slightly spicy, if you don't let the Sichuan chef make it spicy, you'd rather die.

The memory just now is like a thin layer of mist covering Cheng Yin's heart, ethereal and soft, with a bit of dampness and coolness.

Sipping the custard, Cheng Yin asked, "Do you remember what happened when we met for the second time?"

Yang Fan shook his head, he really didn't remember.

Cheng Yin recalled with a smile, "I went to help a group of aunts wash the dishes, but it turned out to be a disservice, breaking the dishes, and you came to help me pick up the pieces. Later I told you, I want to be like you Study abroad."

Both of them fell silent, and Yang Fan could already remember what happened next.

"Brother Yang Fan," Cheng Yin raised her head, "Do you think... I'm stupid?"

Her eyes were round and bright, and her dark pupils stared at her for a moment, as if she was in danger of sucking him in at any moment.This was the first time he looked at her so seriously, but what he saw was a completely strange girl.

He suddenly discovered that her eyes were so clear and pure, and she just stared at him unreservedly, waiting for his answer, which made him feel suffocated instantly.

Yang Fan didn't answer for a long time, the light in Cheng Yin's eyes gradually dimmed, and finally turned into a self-deprecating smile.

That's how she is, she likes to bump into the muzzle over and over again, making it difficult for herself.

Is this still useful?The fact that she asked this question is enough to explain everything.

When it was over, the night was dark and the sky was full of stars, Yang Fan drove Cheng Yin to her downstairs.

"If you have any questions in the future, you can call me at any time." It seems that there is only this that he can help her.

Cheng Yin couldn't help feeling desolate in her heart, but she didn't want to show it, so she tried her best to smile, and asked playfully, "Are you allowed to ask anything?"

"Business." He added helplessly, but his eyes were gentle.

Although this girl occasionally does things outrageously, she can often touch the softest part of his heart inadvertently. For example, now, she is clearly feeling uncomfortable, but she can still joke with herself freely.

Cheng Yin made a face and said good night to him, then pushed the door and got off the car with a graceful figure.

Every time she turns around in front of Yang Fan, she seems to be awakened from a fantasy dream, and the thick layer of memory in her heart will shed a layer of skin, and the traces of the past will gradually fade away.

This should be a good thing for her.

After her figure disappeared in the shadow of the cave, Yang Fan slowly drove out.

He drove the car silently, without playing music, and there were no thoughts that could be grasped in his mind, everything was so aimless.

Only Cheng Yin's eyes that were a little bit sad but still filled with a smile, appeared and disappeared in his mind, lingering.
