Those Sweet Times
Chapter 15 Part 1
Xiang Nuan said, “That was the costume my G.o.d wore before.”
The first reaction Lin Chuyan had was, “Did you wash it?”
Xiang Nuan couldn’t believe her ears, “It certainly has been washed!
You think I’m some sort of weirdo? !”
“I think your logic is problematic.” Lin Chuyan pointed out, “Usually, a
girl will dress up nicely to attract the attention of a boy. How can you
expect that boy to like you when you dress like that? He’s nice enough
not to push you away.”
“Ur……” Xiang Nuan thought he was making some sense, but she didn’t
want to admit it. She waved her hand, “Never mind, I have no energy to
explain to you.”
It was approaching dinner time by then. Xiang Nuan asked Lin Chuyan
what he wanted to eat. Lin Chuyan thought about it then said, “Let’s eat
at the cafeteria.”
Xiang Nuan knew that Lin was still troubled by the idea of having her
pay for dinner on their first meeting. But she didn’t think so; as the host
on the Yuanchi campus, she felt like she had to show him the best place
to eat. “Let’s go to the mall. I know a BBQ place that gives discount to
Kings of Glory players.”
Now both of them were at the Gold level, they could receive a 20% discount.
The mall was near school, about a 15 minute walk. They walked over,
attracting a lot of attention from pa.s.sersby at the beautiful couple.
Neither of them had the courage to tell the other that before they came,
they didn’t have high expectation for the others’ looks. Both of them tried
to dress down so they wouldn’t put any pressure on the other about their looks.
Lin Chuyan wore a worn top and carried a 35RMB messenger bag.
Xiang Nuan wore denim overalls and white sneakers, a casual and
neutral look.
Both of them were very thoughtful about the other.
While on the way to the mall, Xiang Nuan received a message from Min Lili:
What’s going on, how’s your online friend look?
Xiang Nuan: He’s quite good looking!
Min Lili: What? ? ?
Min Lili: Send me a picture!
Min Lili: Too bad I didn’t go with you! Who said that he’s ugly!
Xiang Nuan: …...You’re the one. -_-
Min Lili demanded to see a picture. Xiang Nuan quietly slowed down and
raised her cell phone, trying to take a picture of Lin Chuyan. But he noticed
early enough to lower his head as if he was shy and reach out his hand to
block the camera.
She could see his face through the gaps between his fingers, he seemed
to be smiling.
In the end, all the pictures were filled with his fingers.
Xiang Nuan sent the pictures to Min Lili and said: I tried my best.
Min Lili’s response was: Ohhh! Such nice looking fingers!
Xiang Nuan was speechless, this girl was so easy to please.
She asked Min Lili whether she wanted to come to dinner with them. Min
Lili regretfully replied that she was still in the suburb and wouldn’t make it
in time even if she rushed back.

They were early when they arrived at the BBQ place, even able to get a
booth. The booth was s.p.a.cious enough to accommodate 6 people.
They sat down at the opposite side. The waitress pa.s.sed two menus to them
and since it wasn’t busy yet, the waitress waited at the table for their order.
Lin Chuyan turned to the first page of the menu, then mischievously asked
the waitress, “Do you have steamed creamy custard buns?”
Xiang Nuan just took out the chopsticks and angrily hit the back of his hand
with the chopsticks, “How long are you going to play with this meme? !”
Lin Chuyan withdrew his hand with a naughty smile, “I just want to see you
eat creamy custard buns.”
“I’m not eating them!”
