Chapter 583: Chapter 582: Revisiting Old Haunts

Lin Xia had stayed with Lu Zheng for a couple of days when Yang Wanmeng decided to leave earlier.

As an elementary school teacher, Lin Xia felt that she didn’t quite click with her.

During those days, whenever they met, they hardly had anything to talk about.

Moreover, Lin Xia could feel some inexplicable sense of superiority and disdain from her.

Lin Xia thought that relationships between people were mutual; since she looked down on her, she wasn’t willing to interact with her either.

Besides, she didn’t even know when she would come to this place again; usually, she wouldn’t see such people, so she didn’t really care.

Today, on the sixth day, Lu Zheng finally had time to take Lin Xia for a stroll in the town.

The town was not big, apart from a department store, there were some bungalow shops on the street.

Unfortunately, it was winter now, and it was too cold outside.

If it were summer, Lin Xia would definitely have Lu Zheng take her around to see the scenery rather than go shopping.

Lin Xia actually didn’t lack anything and didn’t need Lu Zheng to buy her anything.

But Lu Zheng was enthusiastic, constantly wanting to buy things for Lin Xia.

Lu Zheng thought that he was not always by her side, leaving her to face everything alone.

The two of them finally got together, and he really wanted to treat her well, make her happy, and take the opportunity to do more things that couples do.

Lu Zheng pointed to a pink bow hair clip in the display case and asked, "Wife! Do you think this looks good on you?"

Lin Xia barely held back a laugh; she owned a cosmetics shop, and she had plenty of these accessories in her store, right?

But she couldn’t dampen her man’s enthusiasm; it wasn’t something that cost a lot of money, "Not bad!"

Lu Zheng immediately paid for it, and then, he spotted a floral scarf, "Wife! Do you like this one?"

"It’s okay! Why don’t we choose two? One for each of us!" Lin Xia thought; she couldn’t just buy for herself and ignore the principle of fairness.

This way, the two of them could have some couple’s items and feel connected whenever they thought of each other in the future.

Lu Zheng smiled happily, his handsome face becoming even more charming because of his smile, "Great! Let’s wear the same one!"

The salesperson kept saying how envious they were of the couple’s good relationship.

The comments made Lin Xia’s face flush with heat, but at the same time, her heart was as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

After buying the scarf, the shopping spree didn’t end there; Lu Zheng stumbled upon a small store and took a liking to the clothes inside.

Then, it was non-stop shopping, and both of them ended up carrying quite a few items.

Lin Xia couldn’t stand his non-stop shopping, so she simply dragged him away, "I’m hungry!"

Lu Zheng’s eyes twinkled with a mysterious smile, "Great! I’ll take you to a nice place!"

Lin Xia asked, "What kind of place?"

Lu Zheng wouldn’t say, "You’ll see when we get there!"

Walking by his side, Lin Xia giggled slyly; he didn’t say, but she had already guessed.

When the two of them reached the entrance of a restaurant, Lu Zheng leisurely asked, "Wife! Do you remember this place?"

Lin Xia couldn’t help but laugh first, "Of course I remember! The place where you treated me to our first meal! I even remember being too shy to order something expensive and opted for a dish that cost ninety cents!"

In fact, the moment Lu Zheng acted mysterious earlier, she had remembered this place.

At that time, her older brother was hospitalized due to an injury, and she rushed here to take care of him.

Unexpectedly, she discovered that Lu Zheng was a colleague of her brother, Lin Chun.

They had already met on the train by then.

Perhaps moved by compassion, Lu Zheng invited Lin Xia for a meal and also took back some dumplings for Lin Chun.

It was also here that she learned Lu Zheng’s surname was not the character for "kite" she had originally thought.

Also, she had mentioned to him that his aunt had bought her Lingzhi.

"Let’s go! Dinner is on me!"

"Humph! I won’t go easy this time!"

Lu Zheng intentionally patted his overcoat pocket, "Got money!"

The two of them entered the restaurant, laughing and joking.

Once they were seated, Lu Zheng stretched his hand to point at the handwritten menu on the table, "Wife, revisiting the old place! Order some dishes!"

What he didn’t tell Lin Xia was that whenever he missed her incredibly, he would always find time to come here to revisit the place and order some appetizers, savoring their past.

Lin Xia gave him a mischievous smile, "Order whatever is expensive then!"

Lu Zheng smiled indulgently, "Okay! As long as you can fit it in!"

"Worst case, we can take the leftovers home!" Lin Xia looked down at the menu, her lips continuously curled up in joy.

Her heart was filled with infinite sentiment, life, indeed, is unpredictable.

When she first sat across from Lu Zheng ordering food, how could she have imagined that one day they would be husband and wife?

And that they would have the chance to come back to this place once again.

Lu Zheng couldn’t get enough of watching her every move, he just wished Lin Xia could be by his side every day.

Lin Xia ordered braised pork, slippery intestines, fish-flavored shredded pork, and also a soup.

While waiting for the dishes, it was inevitable that they talked about that time.

Lin Xia, half-jokingly interrogated, "... Tell me the truth! When you insisted on inviting me to dinner, had you already fallen for me?"

She still remembered that she was short on cash at the time, only having around ninety dollars left, intending to invite him for dinner to foster a good relationship and to make him look after her brother.

She had also figured out his personality, realizing he wasn’t the type to let her pay for the meal.

At a loss, he had brought her into the restaurant with a very noble reason.

"Yes! Actually, I found you very special before!" Lu Zheng confessed honestly, "But I didn’t expect to meet you again!"

The women he had met throughout his life were nothing like Lin Xia.

He always felt their connection was destined.

Otherwise, why would they meet time and again?

Lin Xia grew more interested, "Hmm? Tell me about it! How was I special?"

Lu Zheng glanced at the other diners in the small restaurant, as they were both well-dressed and attractive, most were quietly observing them.

He made a fist and brought it to his mouth, coughing lightly, "Especially beautiful, especially interesting, especially formidable!"

Lin Xia glared at him, "What! You even summarized it into three ’specials’!" She also noticed the diners around them, whispering softly, "Wrong setting, I’ll interrogate you when we get home!"

Lu Zheng smiled ambiguously, "Fine! Any kind of interrogation works! Up to you!"

His suggestive gaze and words instantly made Lin Xia’s face flush, "In your dreams!"

Ever since coming here, she had needed to nap during the day.

Fortunately, it was just a week’s time; if it were longer, she guessed she would quickly become listless.

At that moment, the dishes were served one after another.

Lin Xia looked at the vibrant color of the fish-flavored shredded pork, smelling its delicious aroma, and couldn’t help but swallow her saliva, she was truly hungry.

Lu Zheng spoke to the waiter, "Two bowls of rice, quickly please! Thank you!"

Fish-flavored shredded pork mixed with rice, stirred lightly, tasted delicious, Lin Xia closed her eyes in contentment.

Watching her eat so deliciously filled Lu Zheng with joy, and he began to eat as well...
