Chapter 289 Playing Games

Cheng Ling is a recognized beauty.

Even the haters who attacked her did not dare to criticize her appearance. They could only fabricate that her beauty was the result of plastic surgery.

Her pupils were dark and bright, and the surface was crystal clear as if coated with a layer of transparent glass.

Jiang Qilan felt that those eyes seemed to have magical power, like a mysterious and deep ancient well, attracting him and almost drowning him in her gaze.

"Cheng Ling..." Jiang Qilan called her.

Cheng Ling looked at him seriously.

"Ding Ling Ling——"

A series of bicycle bells sounded next to them.

An elderly grandfather was riding his bicycle unsteadily towards them.

Jiang Qilan and Cheng Ling quickly separated their hands, one on each side making way for the grandfather.

When the grandfather rode past, Jiang Qilan calmed down a little.

Cheng Ling looked up at Jiang Qilan, waiting for the words he had just not finished.

Jiang Qilan felt that he could no longer look directly into her eyes.

So, he fixed his eyes on her upturned little nose: "... We'll be there soon."

"Then let's go."

The two walked forward again.

But they didn't hold hands again.

After passing through this alley, you can smell the aroma of barbecue from afar.

The alley in front is slightly wider, and there is a big red lantern hanging at the door of a house. From time to time, people go in and out of the gate.

There are clinking beer glasses, and the sound of people singing and laughing comes from inside.

"Wait a minute, I'll tell the boss and find a quiet compartment."

"Okay."

Jiang Qilan strode in.

Cheng Ling put on the hood, and her small face, the size of a palm, was hidden in the wide hat.

Soon, Jiang Qilan came out to lead Cheng Ling.

This snack bar doesn't look big from the outside, but the space inside is not small.

This restaurant should be converted from an old courtyard.

After entering the gate, facing the hall, there are crowds of people inside.

Several paths extend from the large courtyard. Jiang Qilan took her along the path, bypassed a door, and came to the side hall.

The side hall was separated by small wooden compartments, and a half-length linen curtain was hung outside each compartment.

Although the restaurant was not luxurious, it had a good atmosphere.

Jiang Qilan took her to the innermost part and lifted the curtain.

Cheng Ling walked in from him and sat down on a bench on the side.

This compartment was nice, with antique hexagonal carved windows on the wall, and you could see the alley behind.

Jiang Qilan also sat down.

He picked up his phone and scanned the code on the table:

"Today's meal is not considered my treat for you. Just treat it as a pastime. Tomorrow... if you have time, let's go eat hand-pulled meat again?"

"Okay, Brother Lan, I have time, noon or evening, it's all right."

After that, Cheng Ling also took out her phone to scan the code, "Any recommendations?"

Jiang Qilan reported a few delicious dishes, and the two quickly ordered.

It was definitely impossible to talk about confidential topics in this small compartment with ventilation on all sides.

"Let's play a game." Cheng Ling said.

Jiang Qilan raised his eyebrows: "What game?"

"Test memory and brain power. I'll go first. How many people are at the table of the man in red in the hall?"

"Including the man in red, there are four people in total." Jiang Qilan said.

Cheng Ling nodded, "It's your turn."

"Then I'm going to increase the difficulty." Jiang Qilan said, "How many compartments are there in this side hall now?"

This is indeed very difficult.

Because they came in and only walked one side, not the entire side hall.

Cheng Ling smiled slightly, "32."

It is the correct answer.

Jiang Qilan was really surprised, "How did you know?"

Cheng Ling blinked: "There is a service sheet handwritten by the waiter on the wall at the entrance of the side hall."

Jiang Qilan gave a thumbs up.

This is to remember all the details in mind.

"Excuse me," the curtain was lifted, and a short, fat, middle-aged man in a white sweatshirt lifted the door curtain, "Brother Xiaolan is here."

He saw Cheng Ling and was slightly startled.

"Oh, this is the first time ever! Brother Xiaolan also brought his girlfriend to patronize my shop? They are even wearing couple outfits... Tsk tsk, I'll treat you today."
