The restaurant was located in the busiest part of the city, so there would be a lot of people during normal meals. In order to save on waiters, the menu was printed on a piece of paper. Once the customer was done, they would send it to the front desk.
Lu Jinnian saw that Qiao Anhao had her head lowered as she stared at the menu. His brows twitched, and he pulled out a pen from the side and flicked it in front of her.
Qiao Anhao jumped in fright. She lifted her head, her pitch-black eyes carrying a tinge of innocence as she stared at Lu Jinnian with teary eyes.
Lu Jinnian didn't have much of an expression on his face, but unknowingly, his tone had become warmer. "Whatever you want to eat, just hook it up."
"Oh," Qiao Anhao replied. She picked up the pen and continued to study the menu. Perhaps it was a habit she had developed over the years in school, but without realizing it, she started to bite on the pen out of habit. Occasionally, when she saw a dish she wanted to eat, she would take the pen down and scribble on the paper.
Lu Jinnian stared at this scene for a long time. In an instant, his memory was pulled back to the time when he had run back to the classroom with a football in his arms after physical education class. At that time, they had a daily exam, and she had been assigned to sit in the innermost corner. However, he still caught a glimpse of her. At that time, she was still in class three. Perhaps because she didn't know how to answer the questions on the exam, she would bite on the pen with a frown on her face. She would take a long time to tick on the exam paper.
It was a boring scene, but he stared at it for close to ten minutes. Only when Xu Jiamu, who was drenched in sweat, ran over and put his hand on his shoulder to ask why he was in a daze did he retract his gaze and leave.
There were some people and some things that he had deliberately tried to forget. In fact, in these four months, there was almost nothing about her that appeared in his mind. He thought that he had completely forgotten about her, but he never expected that an unintentional action of hers would be able to awaken all the memories that he had suppressed in the depths of his heart, making it impossible for him to suppress them even if he wanted to.
After dinner, Qiao Anhao couldn't eat much on her own, so after a long time, she only chose one dish. Placing the pencil on the menu, she pushed it in front of Lu Jinnian.
Her actions startled Lu Jinnian back to his senses. The dazed look in his eyes was instantly replaced by coldness. He casually lifted his hand and flipped through the menu. Seeing that she had only ticked one spot, he frowned. Without saying a word, he picked up his pen and quickly ticked a few random spots. Then he stood up and brought the menu to the front desk.
At this time, it was already past dinner time, and there were very few people in the restaurant. After placing the order, all the dishes were quickly served.
Only then did Qiao Anhao realize that he had ordered four dishes, a soup, and a dessert, all of which were her favorites.
Qiao Anhao suddenly remembered the email he wrote to his assistant before he left, and her heart became bitter.
Just now, when he had ticked those few dishes on the menu, his movements had been so practiced. It was clear that he had ordered them many times before he remembered the specific spots. When he was alone in America, did he often come here to order her favorite dishes?
Qiao Anhao's eyes started to heat up. She bit her lip, lowered her head, and said in a small voice, "I'm sorry."
