Ha. Ha.
The location of the restaurant wasn't very partial, in a bustling downtown area. It took around 10 minutes by taxi and around 30 minutes by bus.
After Ruan Ruan confirmed the meeting time, she decided to go by bus.
That restaurant had a small reputation on the Internet, many bloggers would go there to shoot. As long as it didn't disturb other customers, the restaurant also allowed this behavior by default.
Ruan Ruan was now a blogger in the beauty area, but there were no firm rules for making videos. If you could accumulate a little fan of the food area, it wasn't a bad thing either.
She asked Dark Shark if she could take some photos.
The Dark Shark quickly replied with gāo lěng* word: Yes.
*An internet term. The general explanation: arrogant and indifferent.
Ruan Ruan gladly set off with the camera. She received another message from Dark Shark on the way.
Nice Bad Guy: [Send me a message when you're almost there.]
Nice Bad Guy: [I'll pick you up. ]
He acted like a gentleman. Ruan Ruan obediently replied "good".
The current matching system generally only did it to Alpha and Omega. On the phone, the other's voice is a man's... So, it must be a male O.
Ruan Ruan took the bus to the agreed restaurant. The name of the restaurant was "Bāzhēn*". Its signature dishes were also eight kinds, with sweet, sour, spicy, and salty. Unlike ordinary high-end restaurants, the most famous wasn't for its style and price, but its memorable good taste. Many netizens had spontaneously become its tap water.
*bā: eight; zhēn: treasure.
Everyone said that the first thing you had to pay was for the snacks. Even if you wanted to have a big meal, you couldn't afford it.
Ruan Ruan also wanted to have a snack this time.
After arrived at the bus stop, she sent a message to Dark Shark.
Soft Sweets: [I'm just arriving at the station.]
Dark Shark returned in seconds.
Nice Bad Guy: [Wait for me.]
Nice Bad Guy: [At the station. ]
Ruan Ruan. "..."
This man was so ferocious. Just a while ago, she still thought that he was a gentleman.
Ruan Ruan touched her nose, picked up the SLR hanging around her neck to check the battery level. Then she prepared to do a vlog. While she was lowering her head to concentrate on studying the camera, she suddenly heard a very familiar voice coming from her side.
"Ruan Ruan." That voice said her name word by word.
Ruan Ruan was startled, it caused the camera out of her hands, she hurriedly grabbed it——
But her reaction was still a step slower.
One hand rushed in front of her to catch the thing she had dropped.
...Her hand patted the back of that hand.
The air was quiet for a few seconds. Ruan Ruan moved her fingers. She didn't react too much when the other caught it.
Jiang Yanzhan was also shocked by her. He didn't expect that when he called her name, she would have such a big reaction.
"... Am I so scary?" He flipped his fingers and put that thing into Ruan Ruan's palm.
Ruan Ruan realized afterward and gave a short "Ah".
Jiang Yanzhan looked down at her, his voice slightly lowered, "When you asked me to beg you, you weren't that timid."
Ruan Ruan. "..."
She only started to realize who was standing next to her in this second. He was the Omega from before. As he said, did fate arrange for them to meet?
Ruan Ruan held the parts of her camera, slowly retracted it, and said in a low voice, "It was just because you suddenly calling my name. Not that I am scared..." Until she replied that she just realized something. Her eyes rounded when she asked him, "How do you know my name?"
Jiang Yanzhan was leaning close when he grabbed that thing. So after he straightened up, because of his tall figure, he had to lower his gaze to see Ruan Ruan.
"You put the data into the matching system yourself, didn't you." He narrowed his eyes slightly. "You still don't know my name?"
Ruan Ruan blinked again. Her slow response was so cute, Jiang Yanzhan held back and tolerated it before reached out to pinch Ruan Ruan's face.
"Why would I know..." Ruan Ruan said halfway, then gave a short "ah", "Matching system? So you are that..."
Dark Shark? Nice Bad Guy? These two titles circled twice in Ruan Ruan's head. Fortunately, she reacted slowly, otherwise, it would be very embarrassing if she blurted out.
She slowly put the part in her pocket. Then looked at Jiang Yanzhan's eyes, said unhurriedly, "That [...], right?"
Jiang Yanzhan didn't expect that she would say this title.
After Ruan Ruan finished speaking, she pointed to herself to introduce herself seriously. "I am that Soft Sweets."
Jiang Yanzhan. "..."
What on earth with this sudden introduction of the screen name? He felt like he was meeting with netizens in the 90s...
Jiang Yanzhan tried to keep his smile but finally couldn't endure his own childish reaction. Then corrected her. "It's a blank, not points."
"Ah... I see..." Ruan Ruan scratched her head.
She soon changed Jiang Yanzhan's contact name, so she only saw its screen name once. Because the point mark impressed her so deeply, she remembered it wrong.
Jiang Yanzhan stood by her side. "So, you plan to keep calling me 'blank'?"
Ruan Ruan took the initiative to say, "You can call me Ruan Ruan."
Jiang Yanzhan curled his lips and stretched out his hand to her. "Jiang Yanzhan."
Because he didn't have any defense against Ruan Ruan, Jiang Yanzhan's expression management unknowingly loosened a lot. When introducing himself, his face showed a little pride.
——A little girl of Ruan Ruan's age, as long as she was interested in things in the entertainment industry, might have heard his name. No matter how bad it was, at least ever heard "Jiang Huan Entertainment".
Ruan Ruan wondered in her heart-- did business people like to shake hands? But she still shook hands with Jiang Yanzhan politely. "Hello."
Jiang Yanzhan. "..."
Forgot it. Maybe she had no interest in the entertainment industry. Moreover, he was usually very low-key and had not ever attended any interviews...
Haha.
For the first time, Jiang Yanzhan felt uncomfortable because he was not that known.
"We met each other again." Ruan Ruan didn't know about Jiang Yanzhan's deep thought, so said with a smile, "I didn't expect that blind date... Oh right, it's not a blind date." She smiled again, as if very satisfied with the situation in front of her. "Unexpectedly, Mr. Blank is you. So, are we friends now?"
Jiang Yanzhan. "..."
What was going on with this little girl? At one glance, she looked soft and feeble, but her words could make people angry.
A little girl with a long mouth*.
*Once she speaks, the words are very annoying.
Jiang Yanzhan's expression was uncertain but Ruan Ruan looked at him purely and innocently.
Jiang Yanzhan. "...Hmm. Forget it."
Ha. Ha.
"Very good." Ruan Ruan said with a smile, "Then let's go to 'Bāzhēn' now. Do you know how to get there?"
Bāzhēn' was located in a building in the city center. This city center was a prosperous crossroads, surrounded by busy people, if wanted to cross the road, you could only walk through intricate underground passages.
It was easy to get lost.
Jiang Yanzhan was silent for two seconds, then said, "...I know."
Ruan Ruan nodded happily. "Then trouble you to lead the way."
Jiang Yanzhan. "..."
He led Ruan Ruan into the underground passage. Ruan Ruan followed him, watching the road in front of her with eyes wide open. Sometimes, she would look around curiously... Even the small vendors squatted on the side of the aisle while sold fruit illegally could make her took one more glance.
The only one that she didn't pay attention to was him.
Jiang Yanzhan walked beside her. Countless people already focused on him along the way. He was born as the proud son of heaven. When he was born, as if there was a spotlight on him like he was standing in the center of the stage. He enjoyed this kind of attention. Besides that, he also did a great job. Whether in the Omegas circle or even in the Alpha circle though, were too inferior to bear comparison with Jiang Yanzhan.
Really, this little girl said to make friends with him. For a while, Jiang Yanzhan didn't know if Ruan Ruan "wanted to" be his friend or "merely" still considered to be his friend, which offended him even more.
Ruan Ruan knew nothing about all twists on Jiang Yanzhan's heart. She always had class since she was transmigrated. So she had only passed by in a hurry when she came to the city center before, no time to stroll around. After coming here again, she realized that there were many fun things here.
At this time, Ruan Ruan didn't aware that she already had a script "You were the first woman who dared to do this to me" and become an "interesting woman" in the eyes of the boss.
But there was one thing that Ruan Ruan discovered. Her smile narrowed a little as she spoke lowly, "Erghh... Jiang Yanzhan?"
Jiang Yanzhan stopped. "What?"
Ruan Ruan stared at the familiar scenery around her. It was the second time she followed Mr. Bà out of the passage and downed the stairs again.
This time was even more exaggerated. They went straight back to the original road. She guessed that she could see the bus stop after a few steps.
Ruan Ruan cleared her throat to remind him. "Did you go the wrong way?"
Jiang Yanzhan. "..."
