Chapter 261: A Little Taste

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jiang An had only planned to have a little taste of the food and save her stomach for dinner with Zou Bai at five o’clock. However, Jiang Zhen’s cooking made her forget about this matter and focus on eating.

It was not until she was full that she remembered that she had to save stomach space. Jiang An patted her head gently and frowned. “Look at my memory.”

Seeing this, Jiang Zhen thought that Jiang An was feeling unwell. He hurriedly stood up and walked over. “An’an, does your head not feel well?”

Jiang An laughed dryly. “No, no. My stomach feels a little uncomfortable. 1 think 1 ate too much. Do you have any digestive pills at home?”

Jiang Zhen had just moved in and had yet to prepare the usual medicine. “1 don’t have any medicine, but I have green tea. I’ll make you a cup. It’s also good for digestion.”

Jiang An nodded repeatedly. She had to drink it quickly and empty her guts. There were still two consecutive meals at night. She really couldn’t fit them all!

Jiang An stayed at Jiang Zhen’s house for a while more before bidding farewell. However, Jiang An was not in a hurry to leave the district. Instead, she walked quickly for an hour in the fitness corner of the district and went to the toilet before leaving.

Jiang An calculated the time along the way. She even stopped by the pharmacy to buy digestive tablets. When she arrived at the restaurant, she was still almost half an hour early.

Fortunately, they had reserved a private room in advance. Jiang An went straight to the private room. As she did not take an afternoon nap, she started to feel sleepy after sitting for a while. Her head was nodding like a chick pecking at rice.

When Zou Bai entered the private room, he saw this scene. He reached out to stop the service staff behind him who wanted to follow him in. He quietly ordered food outside the door before entering silently.

Facing Jiang An’s sleeping face, Zou Bai raised his phone and took dozens of photos from various angles.

Jiang An felt as if she had slept for a long time. When she opened her eyes, she saw Zou Bai sitting steadily beside her. She immediately woke up and covered her mouth as she yawned. “Why did I fall asleep? You’ve been here for a long time, right?”

Zou Bai reached out to stroke Jiang An’s messy long hair and replied gently, “1 haven’t been here for long. It’s only been ten minutes. Looks like you had a good time at your friend’s house. You couldn’t even bear to take a nap.”

Jiang An thought of what she had been doing all afternoon and felt extremely stifled. However, she could not tell anyone, so she could only smile as if nothing had happened. “It was okay, I was so engrossed in chatting that 1 lost track of time.”

When Zou Bai heard this, he didn’t say anything else. “Sleep for a while more. I’ll wake you up when the dishes are served.”

Jiang An shook her head. She picked up the tea that had appeared on the table at some point in time and took a big sip to wake herself up. She casually looked at the time and realized that she had slept for more than half an hour. “No need. I’m completely awake now.”

The waiter knocked on the door and interrupted their conversation. The dishes they ordered were served at once. “Please enjoy.”

After the door was completely closed, Zou Bai asked, “When 1 saw the photos you posted in the afternoon, 1 felt that the arrangement of those dishes was very professional. Is your friend a chef?”

Jiang An’s expression froze for a moment before quickly returning to normal. “No, they just like to eat, so they like to cook.”

Zou Bai recalled the comments he had seen in the comments section and said to Jiang An with a smile, “That’s good. By the way, 1 heard that you have a childhood sweetheart? When can you introduce him to me? I haven’t met your friends before.”

Childhood sweetheart? Jiang An frowned in confusion. “What childhood sweetheart?”

Zou Bai saw that Jiang An’s puzzled expression did not seem to be fake. “1 followed your Weibo and happened to see the post you posted today. I saw what was said in the comments section.”

Jiang An quickly took out her phone and logged in. She looked at the thousands of comments and quickly browsed through the replies with a high number of likes. She chuckled. “Oh, you’re talking about this. My fans’ thoughts are more scattered. There’s no childhood sweetheart. It’s just a brother 1 knew when I was young.”

“I’ve been lost for so many years. How can I have childhood sweethearts? At most, they’re childhood friends. I think they’ve watched too many idol dramas and have to imagine childhood sweetheart scenes.”

Jiang An’s nonchalant attitude made Zou Bai feel much better. He didn’t continue. “Let’s eat. The dishes have already been served.”

It was already past six o’clock when the two of them finished eating. Jiang An secretly glanced at the time. “It’s getting late. I have to hurry back and pack my things. My mother will definitely hold me back to talk for a long time.”

Zou Bai thought that the two of them still had a long way to go, so he wasn’t in a hurry. He didn’t say anything and stood up. “Alright, I’ll see you tomorrow when I pick you up.”

Jiang An followed Zou Bai out of the private room and replied guiltily, “Okay..”
