Iceberg Chef Chasing His Wife GL

Bo Sheng didn't seem to notice her gaze, and said to himself: "I will put it in the cupboard in the store when I go back in a few days."

Ji Manli nodded, turned away her gaze, and said softly, "Yes."

The two walked along the bustling street, spread their footsteps to the end, and finally stopped in front of a coffee shop with potted aquatic plants hanging at the door.Different from the simple style outside the Bosheng store, the front of this store is full of potted plants, a small red cart with some soil piled inside and a shovel on it, which has the flavor of a European farm.The floor and walls are also made of wooden boards. Ji Manli saw a few tabby cats lazily lying on the wooden benches outside the shop and snoring, basking in the sun, giving people a bit of comfort, and immediately felt a little better.

Bai Sheng sniffed the milky aroma of waffle muffins and the rich mandheling from the shop, looked at Ji Manli, and asked, "Do you want to go in?"

In the middle of Ji Manli's arms, she nodded and said: "It doesn't matter if we go in and sit for half an hour?" She tilted her head and thought again: "It's only past eleven or twelve in half an hour. It doesn't matter if parents make an appointment in the afternoon, we've been walking for so long just now, let's take a rest."

At the end of the sentence, there was a hint of coquettishness. Naturally, Bai Sheng would not refuse her, even if she didn't like spending her leisure time in other people's shops.

The two pushed open the wooden framed glass door and saw that there were not many customers in the store, so they randomly chose a double seat and sat down facing each other.

Picking up the menu next to the napkin box and ordering, Ji Manli opened the cover and asked, "Well, what should I eat..."

Bai Sheng was not in a hurry to look, and looked around the small storefront. Dried herb bundles were hanging on the wall, and there was a large wooden cabinet beside it, with transparent glass jars of the same size placed on it.She recognized the spices in it, black cardamom, curry leaves, rosemary, parsley... even star anise.Each table is covered with a rough country-style tablecloth, and the heavy wooden table gives a sense of calm.The same is true for the meals in the store. When Bai Sheng saw the platter in the hands of the waiter, a piece of rye bread, a piece of white sausage, country scrambled eggs, etc., he clearly made his own positioning.Bo Sheng thought to himself, this is obviously a good thing.No matter what you do, you should have your own style.

"Bo Sheng..." Ji Manli's voice immediately called her attention back: "I want this, strawberry ice cream muffin... Well, the drink is white pearl fresh milk tea!"

"Okay," Bai Sheng took the order, and marked it with a red paper crayon beside him: "What else do you want?"

"Well, if you don't want it, you'll eat too much..."

"Then I'll pay the bill."

Bai Sheng ordered a glass of iced cappuccino for himself, took the order to the counter, and handed it to the waiter.Back at the table, he saw two banknotes on the table, looked up at Ji Manli's persistent expression, smiled and put them into his wallet.

"After eating, let's go back. My mother just sent me a text message saying that I should go to the department store to find them."

"Well, okay." Bai Sheng put the wallet into the pocket of his coat, then folded his hands together on his body, and looked straight at Ji Manli: "When do you plan to return to the north?"

"Well, maybe the seventh or eighth day of the lunar new year. After all, I'm not busy with work. Besides, I haven't been back for a long time. It's not justified to stay for a few more days."

"Alright," Bai Sheng blinked: "I expect to go back the day after tomorrow. It's boring to stay here by myself after all."

"That's right... although I also want to go back sooner."

"Well...it's rare to come back, so I'd better spend more time with my family."

Bai Sheng took the drink brought by the waiter, pushed Ji Manli's white pearl fresh milk tea in front of her, took off his straw cover, and put it in the iced coffee.

"That's what I thought in my heart." Ji Manli chewed the white powder balls: "But every time I sit at the table, I am forced to marry by all the elders."

"The Chinese society is like this," Bai Sheng said with a slight smile: "If they live in European and American countries for a period of time, they might go crazy."

"How to say?"

"One of my classmates, an American, married a woman 20 years older than him, and the two of them have no plans to have children. If this happened here, I think not many parents would be able to accept it."

"20 years old..." Ji Manli's eyes showed surprise: "It is true, but if it was the other way around, a 40-year-old man married a 20-year-old woman would not be criticized."

"Because a 40-year-old man is fertile, this society, especially the older generation, will demand heirs." Bai Sheng took a sip of coffee: "Life is like canned food, shaped into the same shape by high pressure , even the content must be the same. Studying, working, getting married, and having children, it seems that one of them is indispensable, and all of them must have a good ending.”

"Well, singles and divorced women are still regarded as different..." Ji Manli bitterly opened the corner of her mouth: "Not to mention... falling in love with the same gender."

"But that's your life, and you have the power to make all the decisions."

"I know, it's just that when you are criticized by others, you will inevitably feel sad."

"Gossip, who hasn't encountered it?" Bai Sheng blinked: "But if that person is worth your whole life, then it's just some trivial gossip, and it won't have any impact on your life."

"Um…"

Ji Manli looked at the person in front of her, and a feeling of warmth gradually spread from her heart.

In her memory, this person used to be quiet, but now he is so heartwarming.

There was a dull sound when the porcelain plate collided with the table, and the waiter brought Ji Manli's muffins with a shallow and polite smile.A lattice-shaped waffle muffin is topped with whipped cream flowers, and served in a china bowl with two scoops of mixed-pulp strawberry ice cream.A fork and a table knife were wrapped in a napkin, Ji Manli tore off the outer paper, spread the ice cream on the muffin with a knife, then cut off a small piece, and brought it to Bai Sheng.

"Taste?"

Ji Manli's dark brown eyes reflected the light outside the window, looking at Bai Sheng with sincerity, Bai Sheng's pale pink lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he opened his mouth and ate it.

Frowning slightly, Ji Manli did not miss Bai Sheng's expression.

"What's the matter, isn't it delicious?"

"Hmm...it's very cold, I couldn't stand it just after I started."

"You have sensitive teeth?" Ji Manli said in surprise, "But I don't remember you having them before."

"No..." Bai Sheng quickly finished chewing the food in his mouth: "It's just that I'm not used to it."

"So I was thinking too much..." Ji Manli showed an expression of sudden realization: "Okay, how about the muffins here?"

"Water is mixed in the batter. It would be better if all milk can be used. It is probably to save costs."

"Sure enough, it's Chef Bai," Ji Manli smiled, put some ice cream in her mouth, and closed her eyes with an expression of enjoyment: "You can tell the depth of the water just by trying it."

Bai Sheng stared blankly at the fork in Ji Manli's hand, then turned his head away slightly. In high school, didn't we do such things less often?Because a fork stretched his thoughts to some unrealistic places, Bai Sheng secretly laughed at himself, he was no longer a young girl, could such childish thoughts be uncontrollable.

"What's wrong?" Ji Manli looked at Bai Sheng's dumbfounded expression and asked in puzzlement.

"Hmm..." Bo Sheng shook his head: "It's okay, you can eat quickly, didn't you say that you will go to your parents later?"

"That's right," Ji Manli looked at her watch, "I'll just ride to where they are after a while."

"Okay," Bai Sheng smiled: "Then, after returning to the north, you will be able to see your cup in my shop."

"Ah."

Faintly, a kind of expectation rose in Ji Manli's heart, it felt like the tide was brushing against the coast, lifting up the inexplicable excitement violently like seaweed, until it could no longer move forward, and then slowly stopped.

After the two separated, Ji Manli rode a public bicycle alone, the gear followed another gear, and the tight bite allowed her to move forward. The bustling crowd occupied most of Ji Manli's sight on the street.Waiting for the red light, she began to inadvertently look at the people walking fast on the zebra crossing.Those wearing new clothes, those wearing big earphones, those carrying big and small bags in their hands, and those holding children.The atmosphere of the New Year is very heavy, but the most important thing that cannot be ignored on this island is the photos of politicians with big advertisements and their New Year greetings, and there are many new congratulations posted outside the doors of every household. , dyed the world bright red.

After spending about 10 minutes, Ji Manli parked her bicycle at the handover station closest to the department store and went to look for her two cousins.A large cloth banner hangs in front of the clean glass automatic door, with the message of New Year's sale written on it.Once inside, the cool air conditioner made Ji Manli, who was sweating profusely on a bicycle, feel much better. When the teller at the cosmetics counter saw a woman of her age, she automatically walked forward and handed her the trial bag. , and began to promote their own products.Ji Manli declined one by one with palms and polite smiles, and then entered the elevator, blocking all eager eyes with heavy iron doors.

Guessing in her heart that the two cousins ​​were most likely in the women's clothing department, she took the elevator to the third floor.The vast store, the colorful counters, and Ji Manli, who doesn't go shopping often, was oppressed by this slightly strange feeling at this time.She walked around one counter after another, and finally realized that the cousins ​​were not on this floor.

Finally, not wanting to do nothing in vain, she took out her mobile phone and dialed a number to the eldest sister.

"Cousin, I'm in a department store, which floor are you on?"

"You and your friends had dinner together. We're on the top floor. Hurry up and come up here. I happened to see something that suits you very well." The voice of the elder sister passed into Ji Manli's ear through the microphone.

"Okay, wait for me to go up, break." Ji Manli blinked, looked in the direction of the elevator, sighed inwardly, and then had a little doubt.

The top floor is a place for vendors to set up stalls at will and sell a lot of groceries. What did the two cousins ​​see and think is very suitable for them?Thinking about her second cousin's usual casual appearance, Ji Manli suddenly felt a little uneasy.
