I pick up tasks in the glory of the king

Chapter 169 Encountering the Cousin of the "Local Tyrant"

After a few minutes.

Chen Nuo got out of the car.

This is a bustling commercial plaza, a bit far from the city center, but close to Lin Yan's new company.

Lin Yan wore a simple business attire today, a white shirt, a black hip-wrapped skirt, and crystal-colored sandals, giving her a light OL style.

The beautiful figure and appearance have attracted the attention of many passers-by.

When Chen Nuo found her, he happened to see two handsome guys with good appearance trying to strike up a conversation with her.

The distance was a bit far, and Chen Nuo couldn't hear their communication, but from Lin Yan's smiling and waving gesture, it could be seen that she was firmly rejecting the handsome guy's request for contact information.

This scene gave Chen Nuo a sense of security.

Then Chen Nuo came closer. Lin Yan spotted Chen Nuo, her beautiful eyes lit up, and she hurriedly ran to Chen Nuo.

When the two handsome guys saw this scene, they realized that it was their boyfriend who had come. They could only shake their heads and walk away resentfully. They just couldn't figure out where they lost...

Could it be that girls nowadays are starting to like that kind of "honest guy" who dresses up in a rustic way?
Well, Chen Nuo's image in the eyes of passers-by has been sublimated!
In the past, he was dressed all over the street, and others labeled him "poor hanging silk".

Now he has the conditions to dress better, but because he is dressed too casually, he looks like an honest person.

Chen Nuo was very puzzled by this.

Do you have to have a suit and leather shoes to be called rich?
Should young people dye their hair colorfully and dress fancy, is it fashionable?
Anyway, Chen Nuo has always only had two simple requirements in terms of clothing: it should be comfortable for oneself and comfortable for others to look at, that's all.

I never think being unique is very fashionable, nor do I think a man must wear a suit and a watch to be successful.

Although he pays a little attention to it, he can get a lot of heads in return, but he really likes the feeling of comfort and ease.

It can only be said that everyone has their own preferences.

Lin Yan was very envious of Chen Nuo, who could dress casually and didn't have to wear make-up and work uniforms at work like her.

"Why did you choose this side? It's a long way for you to take a taxi."

Lin Yan's state gradually relaxed.

When she was approached just now, she seemed stable, but she was actually not very good at rejecting others.

But with Chen Nuo around, she felt relaxed.

"This is close to your company."

Chen Nuo smiled sideways, and pointed to the mall: "This hot pot has a lot of good reviews, try the taste."

Lin Yan followed what Chen Nuo expected, and frowned, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, revealing two shallow dimples.

This is a little habit of hers.

Every time she goes shopping or eats, she will show this expression if she thinks it is expensive.

Chen Nuo took her hand and said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll treat you tonight and take care of your fill."

Lin Yan pouted slightly, cast a helpless look, and said to herself which time it wasn't your treat!

Naturally, Lin Yan didn't find anything wrong with holding hands.

When she felt that this was not good, she pursed her lips and chose silence.

Because Chen Nuo has never confessed to her.

She is still not sure, are she and Chen Nuo considered a couple?
Because of this small entanglement in the ceremony, she was called a fool by her good friend Li Yu more than once.

After all, even a blind person could see Chen Nuo's affection for her.

The two have known each other for so long, and have dated so many times alone, is the formal confession still important?

Perhaps just as Li Yu said, being together so plainly and naturally is often the proof of genuine liking.

……

The environment of the hot pot restaurant is good, and the lighting atmosphere is just right everywhere.

There are many guests, but affected by the atmosphere, it is relatively quiet. It is very suitable for dating couples who like to eat hot pot.

A semi-partition is used between every two seats, which will not make guests feel closed and depressed, while ensuring relative privacy.

After taking a seat, Chen Nuo scanned the QR code to order.

Experience told Chen Nuo that if you come to eat at a place with a slightly higher cost, you must never let Lin Yan order.

This girl is too economical in life, let her look at the menu, she always has to plan carefully and choose cheap things, even if she doesn't like it that much, she still has to pursue "cost-effectiveness".

Therefore, Chen Nuo decided to be machismo, and first ordered a few dishes that the public liked and that he knew Lin Yan liked.

After ordering, checkout: 386 yuan.

Sure enough, Lin Yan cast another complaining look.

For a 400 yuan meal, Lin Yan must feel distressed.

Chen Nuo hurriedly changed the subject, chatting about the embarrassing things in Li Yu's daily life, which made Lin Yan chuckle and said that she would sue Li Yu against him.

Chen Nuo said frankly: "Cut, what are you afraid of, I'll speak more harshly in front of her! You don't know, they are too hateful, and now they don't treat me like a man anymore, it's outrageous!"

Lin Yan became like a curious baby, asking repeatedly: "Why, why?"

Chen Nuo continued to talk along the topic.

If Li Yu heard these words, Chen Nuo would definitely be beaten up.

The two chatted for a while and began to serve the dishes slowly.

A few young men and women came to the next table at some point, and one of the voices made Chen Nuo feel familiar.

But in this situation, it's not convenient for Chen Nuo to turn his head to look at other girls.

After a few minutes, a more familiar voice sounded from the table behind him: "I'm here, you can order whatever you want, don't save me money!"

This time, Chen Nuo couldn't hold back and turned his head to look!

It’s really his cousin Zhou Xin!

"you recognize?"

Seeing Chen Nuo's expression was wrong, Lin Yan asked softly.

Chen Nuo made a silence gesture and said in a low voice, "My sister."

"..."

Lin Yan's smile froze, and she couldn't help looking at the table with her neck stretched.

Chen Nuo knew at a glance that she was thinking about it, and explained with a smile: "Cousin, my uncle's daughter."

Lin Yan quickly looked away, her cheeks flushed slightly: "I didn't think much about it..."

Chen Nuo smiled and said nothing.

It is clear that Lin Yan must have thought that he was a guilty conscience just now.

After all, the excuse of "sister" has long been used by scumbags.

Besides, when you meet your cousin in a restaurant, shouldn't the normal reaction be to say hello first? No one is as sneaky as Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo probably guessed Lin Yan's doubts, and sent a message on her mobile phone to explain: "She is still in school, and she was crying poor with me a while ago, and today is not her birthday, so the treat is very strange."

Lin Yan nodded slowly.

It's really strange to think about it. The consumption here is so high that ordinary students can't afford it.

In fact, what Chen Nuo was even more puzzled about was that before Zhou Xin came just now, he vaguely heard that these classmates of Zhou Xin were talking bad things about Zhou Xin, and they were plotting to kill Zhou Xin severely.

In this situation, Zhou Xin took the initiative to invite guests, isn't that stupid!

Based on Chen Nuo's understanding of Zhou Xin, her innate personality is very similar to that of her aunt, she is very picky and caring.

Back then when Chen Nuo asked her to borrow 20 yuan, she kept nagging her every day and even asked for interest.

Just such a girl, how can she not be generous enough to treat her classmates to a big meal?

Therefore, Chen Nuo felt that it was too suspicious, so he raised his ears to eavesdrop on their conversation...

Chen Nuo also remembered the familiar voice before. It was Zhou Xin's so-called best friend. At that time, Zhou Xin tried her best to make Chen Nuo have a date with her.

It seems to be called...Xiao Tong.

Now, as soon as Zhou Xin came, Xiaotong immediately changed her envious tone: "Xinbao, you are too rich! The consumption here is very high!"

The other three students also put away their conspiracy and chatted happily:
"What is this little money? Cousin Zhou Xin is a rich man!"

"That's right, that's right, selling some coupons is like playing with Tianmei, and the money comes in very quickly!"

"Isn't it only a few hundred yuan? For our sister Zhou Xin, that's nothing!"

Zhou Xin put on a smug attitude: "That's right, if you say treats, treat them. You are responsible for opening up and eating, and you are full!"

Hearing this, Lin Yan looked at Chen Nuo with a strange smile.

This treat line is the same as Chen Nuo's.

Now she completely believed that this younger sister was Chen Nuo's cousin.

Chen Nuo didn't have the heart to think about other things, wondering where did Zhou Xin get so much money!

He had ordered just now, but because he was afraid that Lin Yan would worry about the money, he ordered quite sparingly, and the bill was nearly 400 yuan.

As for the five people at Zhou Xin's table, it sounded like they were going to drink, so it would cost at least seven or eight hundred if they opened up to eat and drink, right?
This amount of money may not be a big deal to others, but Zhou Xin's living expenses are only more than 100 a week, so where can I get so much money to entertain guests?
