The doughnuts did not have a sugary flavor. They both grinned as the taste of milk and chocolate spread across their tongues.
Both of them were clearly delighted.
“It’s so delicious.” Jiang Jinshi grinned while squinting his eyes.
With a pleasant aura emanating from her entire body, Lu Yang took a bite gently. “Glucose is the only source of energy for the brain.”
Jiang Jinshi blinked. After a little period of confusion, his eyes began to shine once more. “Then I’m going to bring it back for my uncle to eat.”
He mused inwardly, “My uncle isn’t very smart. He had to eat more so he could be as smart as Sister Yangyang!”
Lu Yang took a sip of her matcha latte. When she looked up again, she met someone’s beaming eyes.
“Jiang Yanzhou?”
The man’s mask and cap completely obscured his face, leaving only his eyes visible. However, Lu Yang was able to instantly identify Jiang Yanzhou from his beautiful eyes.
While she was still in a daze, Jiang Jinshi stood up excitedly and exclaimed in a childlike voice, “Uncle! Uncle Zhao! ”
Lu Yang looked at Jiang Jinshi in confusion, then at Jiang Yanzhou.
Zhao Yanshu cleared his throat and used the pronunciation technique he secretly learnt for a sweet voice.
“Sister Yangyang, Xiaoshi.”
“Is your throat uncomfortable?” Lu Yang asked, puzzled.
“No,” Zhao Yanshu replied, and he felt incompetent.
Jiang Yanzhou’s gaze shifted to Jiang Jinshi, and his voice was flat but intimidating. “Jiang Jinshi.”
Jiang Jinshi appeared to be acknowledging his mistake as he instantly lowered his head and pouted his small mouth.
“Uncle. ”
Jiang Yanzhou glanced at Zhao Yanshu, and the latter immediately understood.
Zhao Yanshu walked over to Jiang Jinshi. “Xiaoshi, come over here to me. Your uncle has something to discuss with Sister Yangyang.” Jiang Jinshi looked at Lu Yang, reluctant to leave. Lu Yang waved at him. “See you later.”
“All right!” Jiang Jinshi beamed.
Zhao Yanshu and Jiang Jinshi sat at the next table and waited.
Jiang Yanzhou sat opposite Lu Yang.
Lu Yang picked up a spoon and swirled the drink in her hand as she asked, “Do you want anything to drink?”
Jiang Yanzhou’s gaze swept past her moist lips, then he looked away without a word. “No need.”
Lu Yang’s expression was calm. “Do you have anything to say to me?”
“Xiaoshi is my sister’s child.”
Lu Yang continued, “I see. Mingyu thinks he’s your son.”
“Don’t tell your brother for now. Please keep this a secret for me.”
He delivered the last sentence in a tone that slightly deepened and contained a trace of playfulness.
“Sure.” Lu Yang chuckled.
This was a secret between the two of them now.
He really knew how to play.
Lu Yang looked up, and her gaze met his light-colored pupils.
She grinned widely but remained silent.
If Jiang Jinshi and Jiang Yanzhou had nothing to do with each other, she would only think that Jiang Jinshi had watched variety shows before and knew about her.
However, the cause-and-effect relationship had changed now that they were revealed to be relatives.
The fact that Jiang Jinshi knew her further strengthened her conviction.
She must have known Jiang Yanzhou before, but she could not remember.
Zhao Yanshu was observing the situation in the shadows and noticed that Lu Yang was staring at Jiang Yanzhou.
He thought to himself, “Who can handle this smile, even though it isn’t flirtatious? Sister Yangyang is awesome!”
Jiang Jinshi stuck his head out and looked around. He asked sincerely, “Uncle Zhao, do you also think that my uncle doesn’t look very smart?”
Zhao Yanshu was speechless.
Jiang Jinshi sighed and went on, “He doesn’t know how to court people at all. He’s so slow and never takes the initiative.”
Zhao Yanshu was deep in thought. After he glanced at Lu Yang’s expression, he nodded his head in agreement.
“That’s right!”
The person who was teased was always Jiang Yanzhou.
He thought, “Jiang Yanzhou has never taken any initiative on the surface, but his thoughts has gone a long distance deep down. Wait a minute! Isn’t this a description of a teenage secret crush? Did Jiang Yanzhou have late puberty? If it were true, I would have to prepare some acne cream for him in advance.
Otherwise, acne cannot be covered up on camera.”
With that in mind, Zhao Yanshu took out his phone and opened an online shopping application to browse through products.
The two looked at each other, and Jiang Yanzhou looked away first.
His gaze was fixed on the bracelet on her left hand, and he asked directly, “Do you want to touch me?”
The words that were supposed to be provocative did not seem frivolous when they came out of his throat.
His eyes met with hers again, and he explained in a calm voice, “I’ll compensate you. ”
He wanted to make it up to her for keeping his secret.
Lu Yang chuckled but didn’t reply.
After Zhao Yanshu placed a few orders, he raised his head and realized that the atmosphere between Lu Yang and Jiang Yanzhou wasn’t right. “Xiaoshi, is your uncle embarrassed?”
Jiang Jinshi couldn’t see Jiang Yanzhou’s expression, so he answered uncertainly, “I don’t think so.”
He analyzed, “Sister Yangyang didn’t even blush. As for my uncle, I can’t tell if he’s blushing. He’s wearing a mask.”
Zhao Yanshu touched his chin and nodded. “That’s reasonable.”
Lu Yang’s chuckle lasted a little long, and Jiang Yanzhou’s fingertips moved unnaturally.
Normally, she would have been excited to touch it. However, her mind was occupied by other things and she couldn’t spare any time to think about the blood vessels now.
Not being able to multitask seemed to be an advantage at this moment. After a while, she responded, “Let’s keep it for later.”
Jiang Yanzhou suddenly thought of something, and his adam’s apple bobbed. His usually cold voice cracked a little. “All right.”
Lu Yang was confused, and she thought inwardly, “I swear I really wasn’t flirting with him!”
This was the first time Lu Yang felt that being too sensitive was not a good thing.
She could clearly sense his every move, including his breathing rate and the movement of his adam’s apple.
Her head began hurting again.
At the same time, they were almost done eating.
The waiter came over to settle the bill. Lu Yang was about to take out her card when she saw Jiang Yanzhou hand over a black card.
It was the first time the waiter had seen a black card, so he couldn’t help but be excited. “I’ll settle the bill for you right away. Please wait a moment!”
Lu Yang looked at her card, and she thought, “I’m not going to compete since I wouldn’t be able to win. One has to learn how to live life leisurely.”
Jiang Yanzhou noticed her subtle movements, and a smile slowly emerged from the corner of his mouth.
After paying the bill, Jiang Jinshi hopped over to Lu Yang. “Can I join you, Sister Yangyang?
Jiang Yanzhou firmly rejected him. “No.”
“Uncle, I promise I won’t leave home without permission again. Can you let me go with Sister Yangyang?” Jiang Jinshi rubbed his small hands while pleading with his eyes.
Jiang Yanzhou pretended not to see it.
Jiang Jinshi then glared at him with a resentful look, and he thought, “My foolish uncle can’t court Sister Yangyang, but he won’t let me stick next to her too.”
Lu Yang’s thoughts were still on the previous matter. She looked at Jiang
Yanzhou. “Does Xiaoshi have any other obligations today?”
Jiang Yanzhou’s eyes and voice instantly softened. “No.”
“I’ll bring him to my school for a walk. I’ll send him back to you tonight. Is that convenient?”
“Sure,” Jiang Yanzhou replied without hesitation.
Not only was Zhao Yanshu speechless, but Jiang Jinshi was also speechless too.
“My uncle has no morals!” Jiang Jinshi mused..
