"Thank you, Fourth Uncle. I'll give this bottle of wine to Fourth Uncle. Let's get together next time." Hemoyu sent him out of the door.

……

At the other end of the city, Lin Hezhen and Yukino returned to the apartment in a rented luxury car.

As soon as he got in the car, Lin Hezhen quickly loosened the tie around his neck.

This thing is really uncomfortable to wear, and I’m not used to wearing this outfit.

This kind of formal attire may indeed highlight masculine charm, but in terms of comfort, casual attire can beat it.

"Today is really unlucky. A boring dance, a bad fiancé, and an empty stomach." Yukino said weakly, leaning on the back of the chair.

She hadn't eaten a grain of rice since lunch, and had only eaten a little salad at the dance, so she was already hungry.

"Really? I think today is not bad. I met a girl with long, straight black hair. When she was at her best, she gave me a rose."

Yukino rolled her eyes at him: "You don't know what the flower language of roses is, right? Instead of wanting to receive roses from me, it's better to go to a flower shop to buy them. That's more realistic."

Lin Hezhen listened and smiled without answering, but once again thought of the soft touch of the bright red rose.

The luxurious stretched Lincoln sedan drove on the broad avenue, with countless brilliant lights flashing outside the windows.

"Can you still walk? I'll treat you to a midnight snack." He said suddenly.

"Why are you so kind-hearted all of a sudden?" Yukino was a little surprised. "It's a little too late to show your courtesy to me at this time. I'm sorry that your bad impression in my mind cannot be reversed. It is now -300 points."

"I would like to ask, is your highest favorability score 0?"

Yukino smiled slyly: "How is that possible? Of course the highest score is 100 points."

"Then what was the score before today?"

"-350 points."

"What about a week ago?"

"-500 points."

"Oh, then this upward trend is quite gratifying."

Yukino's expression turned cold instantly: "Because of your words, 50 points will be deducted."

"It's such a harsh and subjective judgment. It's comparable to the review of a certain website. I wonder if I can save some points if I treat you to a late-night snack."

"If you insist, I can deduct 1 or 2 points for you."

"Then let's go quickly. I'm going to starve to death too. The high-end delicacies at the ball are really unspeakable."

After instructing the driver to pull over, the two people got out.

Hayashi Kazuma, who was wearing a white suit, and Yukino, who was wearing an evening dress, were walking on a street full of ordinary residences, looking out of place with the surrounding environment.

Just like a pair of princes and princesses visiting privately incognito, they suddenly want to experience civilian life on a whim.

Chapter 112 Can the distance of ten meters be shortened?

Yukino was wearing an evening dress, with her arms, neck, and shoulders exposed. She was shivering when the cold wind blew in Mengxia's night.

Suddenly, her shoulders sank, but it was Lin Hezhen who put the suit jacket on her.

"Thank you." She folded her suit jacket.

There was his warmth and his breath on it, like a warm current, instantly dispelling the chill of the night.

"You're welcome, it's just a piece of cake. By the way, how about we go eat ramen? There happens to be a stall over there." Lin Hezhen pointed forward.

Under the streetlight not far away, there is a mobile ramen stall converted from a pushcart, and you can see the busy owner inside.

When the trolley cover is lowered, there is a table for diners, with two stools placed under the table.

There is a red curtain hanging on the roof of the car, with the three Chinese characters "Liujun Pavilion" written on it.

This kind of mobile vendors, called "yatai", are not allowed to operate during the day, and they only dare to come out to do business late at night.

There were no guests and no pedestrians around.

In the quiet streets at night, the only sounds that could be heard were the boss chopping vegetables and the gurgling sound of soup stock boiling in the pot.

Although the shop is small, it looks clean.

Yukino's eyes lingered on the name of the store and said: "The owner of this store is a bit cultural. The name of the store is taken from "The Song of Chang Xiaozi Lingshan Pavilion Watching Flowers" by Fujiwara Xingwo."

Lin Hezhen asked curiously: "Is it a Chinese poem?"

Before the invention of kana, intellectuals in the island country commonly used Chinese characters, and Chinese poetry became very popular.

The people of the island country not only admire Chinese poetry, but also create a large number of them. There are also many excellent works of Chinese poetry.

For example, the song "Mount Fuji" that Lin Hezhen chanted on the water tower on the roof of the school on the first day of school was a Chinese poem written by the island poet Ishikawa Jozan.

Yukino nodded and recited: "You protect the flowers and the flowers protect you, and the flowers will stay with you for a long time. When you enter the house, you should first ask if the flowers are okay. You should first take care of the flowers and then you."

Lin Hezhen smiled: "Now that I have protected the flowers, how can I not get in when I meet the 'Liujun Pavilion'?"

He walked straight over and asked: "Boss, what do you have to eat here?"

The boss was an elderly man. He pointed to the wooden sign hanging on the window edge, and saw the names and prices of several types of ramen written on the wooden sign.

"These are the only ones on the menu. If you want to eat something else, if I can do it, I can cook it for you." His voice was a little hoarse, as old as his age.

He was not surprised at all when he saw two young men wearing formal clothes coming to eat at a roadside stall in the middle of the night.

Just do the work at hand silently, just like yesterday, like the day before yesterday, like every day in the past.

Lin Hezhen was browsing the menu while chatting with the boss: "Do you usually have many customers?"

The boss smiled: "Ask if there are any customers. I think there are quite a lot of customers."

"I am just a stall selling ramen. It has no fixed location and no decoration. It is hidden in the corner of the city, but it is a place to live. I have been cooking noodles for 40 years. Many people grew up eating it, and some people follow it. It’s about taste, some people are after habits, but most people are after a piece of the past.”

"That's very philosophical." Yukino carefully lifted the hem of her skirt and sat on the stool, "Your craftsmanship must be very good."

The boss rubbed his head and said, "Hey, thank you. It's just that when people get older, they like to nag. What do you want to eat?"

"I want a side of barbecued pork ramen."

"I'd like some soy sauce ramen."

Lin Hezhen looked at Yukino in surprise: "I'm treating you to a simple meal? It's just ramen, you don't have to help me save money."

Yukino rolled her eyes at him: "You're so sentimental, who helped you save money? I just suddenly want to try the simplest taste. Don't look down on soy sauce ramen, no matter how simple the food is, it has its own soul."

The boss agreed: "The little girl is right. Food is not high or low. If delicious food is delicious, that is enough. But if you only eat ramen, it still has no nutrition. Let me give you another side dish."

"The boss is polite."

"It's nothing, I just feel like I have a good rapport with you two."

"If an elder dares not refuse a favor, then it is better to be respectful than to obey."

The boss was amused by her serious look and laughed loudly: "The little girl is really educated."

"What kind of culture? I've just read a few books, and I'm just sarcastic in different ways all day long." Lin Hezhen said.

Yukino turned her head and said, "Humph, it's your fault that you're not as good as others."

"When did communication between people turn into a battle of wits and courage? Why don't you try to be gentler to me? Obviously I would be very happy that way."

"Why should I act just to make you happy?"

"Just leave all your meanness to me. You obviously don't even want to say a word to other boys."

"Ah, I thought you liked this."

"If you can leave all your tenderness to me, then I will definitely like it more."

"You haven't even laid down on the bed yet, why are you starting to dream?"

"Because I miss you when I'm asleep, and I miss you when I'm awake."

"Scoundrel!" Yukino kicked his calf bone with the toe of her shoe.

Lin Hezhen pretended to show his teeth and shouted: "Some people are not as good as others, so they start to use their hands and feet."

"It's not because you are talking nonsense!" Yukino said angrily.

Lin Hezhen smiled proudly.

He has now found a way to deal with Yukinoshita Yukino.

This girl is sharp-tongued but extremely thin-skinned, and is easily shy.

If you can't reason with her, she will get involved.

The correct approach is: to be ambiguous, to be shy, to be frightened, and to be silent.

Whenever Lin Hezhen teased her, she couldn't bear the defeat.

Uh-huh, your weak point is already within my range, just sit back and wait!

If the enemy is ashamed, I will take off her clothes!

The boss smiled and said: "Hahaha, the relationship between the two of you is really good."

Lin Hezhen replied: "Generally speaking, that is, the distance between each other cannot exceed ten meters."

"Young people are really funny."

While he was talking, the boss had already cooked two bowls of ramen, shook off the water, poured it into a bowl filled with broth, and then added the side dishes.

A set of movements is like flowing clouds and flowing water, showing the beauty of hard work.

"Please use it slowly." He brought the ramen to the two of them.

"Thank you."

"I'm gonna start now."

Lin Hezhen took a sip of the soup first and felt that the broth was white and refreshing. It didn't taste as salty as other ramen restaurants. It had a rich aroma but not greasy, and a long aftertaste.

"Good soup, the boss is really good at his craftsmanship!" He praised and took another sip.

The boss smiled and said: "I am getting older and my taste is lighter, so the noodles I make are the same. You just don't mind."

"No, no, this is the best. The soups in other ramen restaurants are too oily and salty."

Lin Hezhen took another bite of noodles.

The noodles are smooth and refreshing, chewy and chewy. They are completely different from the noodles made by machines in other ramen shops. They are definitely handmade.

"Boss, these noodles are so exquisite. No wonder it can last for 40 years!" Lin Hezhen gave a thumbs up.

"This is all I can do. Now that I've opened a noodle shop, I have to do my best with all my heart."

“It’s very rare to be able to do something well consistently.”

Yukino didn't speak and just ate the noodles silently.

In fact, she had never eaten in a ramen shop, let alone a roadside stall like this.

The gender concept in the island country is very stereotyped. Places like ramen shops and beef rice bowl restaurants are considered by them to be "men's territory and not suitable for women."

Young girls in the island country also believe that it is "shameful" to go to such a place to eat alone, so they will never go without a male friend.

Yukino has no friends, and her status and family conditions do not allow her to try, so this experience is quite novel to her.

She took a bite of the noodles given by the boss and was chewing them when a pair of chopsticks suddenly came out from the side, picked up a piece of barbecued pork and put it in her bowl.

"You are tired today. Eat some meat. You won't gain weight." Lin Hezhen advised.

Yukino said a little disgustedly: "You have eaten before giving it to me."

"Don't be so sarcastic. Which of your eyes has seen me eating this piece of barbecued pork?"

"But you have eaten noodles and drank soup. This piece of barbecued pork is soaked in the noodle soup, and it may be stained with your saliva."

Lin Hezhen was so angry at her: "I gave it to you kindly, but you still dislike it? Don't forget it, I don't have enough for myself."

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the meat.

As a result, Yukino picked it up first and ate it in one bite.

"Don't you dislike it?"

Yukino swallowed the barbecued pork and said, "I didn't want it at first, but I'm not happy if you want to take it back."
