Tea Of Summer

They walked out of the noodle house.  The boss' wife warmly said behind them, "Thanks for coming."  Xia Liang gave the boss' wife a sweet smile. Hearing one's native language outside of school was really touching especially after such a delicious noodle.

She moved quickly to catch up with Song Qiyan who stood at the front waiting for her.  She smiled to him, "Thank you Shixiong. The noodles were really delicious."

"As long as you enjoyed it."

Xia Liang: "..." Xia Liang suppressed the her rampant imagination and silently blamed herself for thinking too much.  Shixiong was just being friendly, taking her out to eat; Xia Liang told herself not to think too deeply about it. "Then, Shixiong, this noodle house is hidden in the corner.  How did you find it?" Xia Liang was curious.

Song Qiyan turned his head and looked at her.  "There was one time when I finished a lab experiment and went out to eat with my classmates.  We drove out here but found all the restaurants were full. So we walked around after we got our number.  We happened to walk here and saw that they still had some tables available, so we walked in to eat. Since then I come here occasionally to eat."

Xia Liang distractedly found that Song Qiyan would earnestly look straight at the other person's eyes whenever he talked to others as long as he was not driving.  Though his beautiful almond eyes were hidden underneath the cap most of the time, others could still feel his earnestness.

It felt...he's well mannered.

"Is that so…...The noodles are very good." Xia Liang praised again.

Song Qiyan broke out into a smile.  "Then I will take you here again next time if you like it."

Xia Liang blinked her eyes, so...there's a next time?

Xia Liang, who had no sense of direction, finally noticed something after following Song Qiyan for a while. "Shixiong, where are we going?  The parking lot seems to be at the other side….."

"I am taking you on a walk, helps with digestion.  Later I will take you to another place." Song Qiyan replied. Then he looked at her.  "You don't seem to have a good sense of direction?" After all, she didn't find out they were heading the wrong direction after walking for so long.

Xia Liang puckered up her mouth.  He didn't have to be so blunt...
