Chapter 188 The University Cafeteria Is Really a Huge Chicken Coop
Then Murong Xi walked to a window selling gluttonous fish and stopped.
"Lu Cang, I want to eat this. I haven't eaten it since I graduated from college. I miss it so much, but I don't know if the taste will be the same."
"Okay, which one does Sister Murong want to eat?"
"I want gluttonous fish with some side dishes."
"I don't know what side dishes Sister Murong likes, so I'll order them all for you."
"No, no, too much. I want potato slices, lotus root slices, rice cakes, and crispy sausage."
Seeing Murong Xi being so impolite, Lu Cang was somewhat surprised, but he appreciated this kind of personality more.
Then, Lu Cang walked to the window and ordered two servings of gluttonous fish, and also added the side dishes that Murong Xi mentioned.
The two sat aside and waited quietly for the food to be served. The scene was a bit awkward, and neither of them spoke.
Until Murong Xi spoke.
"You have been in school for so long, what else do you like to eat?"
Lu Cang touched his head and then answered.
"In the school cafeteria, there are braised chicken and chicken rack noodles."
"Hahaha, they are all chickens. The university cafeteria is really a huge chicken house. It can't do without chickens. There are chicken pots, braised chicken, chicken rack noodles, fried chicken, curry chicken..."
"Hahaha, that's true."
Soon, the greedy fish came out. Lu Cang took the tray and carefully brought it to Murong Xi. The steaming greedy fish and delicious side dishes came together, which looked particularly tempting.
"Sister Murong, the greedy fish is ready. Try it and see if it tastes as good as the one you used to eat."
Lu Cang smiled and put the tray on the table.
Murong Xi looked at the food in front of her, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish, blew it gently, and then put it in her mouth.
A satisfied expression immediately appeared on her face, as if she had returned to college. The happiness and simplicity at that time were all integrated into this bite of food.
"Delicious! It's so delicious. Although it doesn't taste very similar to what I had before, it's also delicious."
Murongxi's words were full of surprise, and her eyes were shining with satisfaction. Lu Cang looked at her, and a warm current surged in his heart.
Sister Murong is sometimes cute.
"Sister Murong, if you like, you can come to our school anytime, and I'll treat you."
Lu Cang said with a smile, his eyes full of sincerity.
Murongxi nodded, she picked up a piece of crispy sausage with chopsticks, put it in her mouth, and tasted it carefully.
The crispy taste made her close her eyes, as if the whole world had quieted down.
The two of them enjoyed the food quietly, without words, only the collision of chopsticks and dishes, but full of warmth and harmony.
After dinner, Lu Cang suggested taking Murongxi to the school cinema.
Although this choice was a bit ordinary, he really didn't know where else he could take Murongxi.
He was a little nervous, worried that Murongxi would be bored, but he still plucked up the courage and took her to the direction of the cinema.
Finally, they chose a horror movie that had just been released.
Lu Cang bought the tickets, and the two of them walked into the dim theater with popcorn and Coke in their hands.
The lights gradually went out, and the movie began to play on the big screen.
They found a seat and sat down. Lu Cang tried to make himself look natural, while Murongxi looked forward to the movie with excitement.
The movie started, and in the dim theater, only the light and shadow on the big screen were jumping.
Lu Cang couldn't help but panic. He was not a person who liked horror movies, but seeing Murongxi's excited look, he could only bite the bullet and accompany her.
Suddenly, a burst of terrifying music came from the movie, and the terrifying scenes flashing on the screen made Lu Cang's heart beat faster.
He secretly glanced at Murongxi, only to see her eyes shining, completely immersed in the plot of the movie.
As the plot of the movie deepened, the horror elements became more and more.
Lu Cang began to feel a little uneasy, and he couldn't help but grab the handrail beside him, trying to calm his heartbeat.
Murongxi was completely immersed in it, exclaiming from time to time.
Lu Cang nervously grabbed Murongxi's hand suddenly, his palms sweating slightly, conveying an indescribable sense of tension.
Murongxi was startled by his action and turned to look at him, only to find that his face was pale and his eyes were fixed on the screen, obviously frightened by the horror plot in the movie.
It turned out that this big boy was afraid of horror movies, so why did he agree to watch it with me.
She gently held his hand and comforted him with a smile.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a movie."
Lu Cang felt Murongxi's warmth, and his heart gradually settled down.
He turned his head to look at her, his eyes full of gratitude.
Their hands were tightly clasped, as if in this dim theater, they had become each other's support.
The movie finally ended, the lights gradually lit up, Lu Cang breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.
He turned his head and wanted to say something to Murongxi, but found that she was approaching him with a naughty face.
"Lu Cang, you looked so funny just now, like a frightened little rabbit."
Murong Xi laughed softly, with a playful light in her eyes.
Lu Cang was embarrassed by her words. He touched his nose and responded with pretended calmness.
"Who said I was scared? It's just that the movie was too realistic."
At this moment, Murong Xi suddenly reached out and gently patted Lu Cang's shoulder.
Lu Cang jumped up with a start, almost hitting the seat in front of him.
Lu Cang was startled by Murong Xi's action. He widened his eyes and looked at her outstretched hand, and his heartbeat accelerated instantly.
Various possibilities flashed through his mind. Could it be that his reaction was too intense, making Murong Xi feel uncomfortable?
He swallowed nervously, ready to face Murong Xi's blame.
However, to his surprise, Murong Xi was not angry, but showed a hint of apologetic smile.
She gently withdrew her hand and said softly.
"I'm sorry, I scared you."
"Ahem... It seems that I need to exercise my courage! But don't worry, I'm just afraid of horror movies, and I have absolutely no problem protecting you."
Wait? ! What am I talking about? ! What is absolutely no problem protecting her?
Hearing Lu Cang's words, Murong Xi was stunned at first, and then a faint blush appeared on her face.
Her eyes flickered with shyness, as if Lu Cang's words had touched the deepest chords in her heart.
She lowered her head gently, and said with a slightly trembling voice.
"You...are you really willing to protect me?"
Lu Cang looked at her shy appearance, and an inexplicable impulse surged in his heart.
He stood up, walked to Murong Xi's side, lowered his head, and met her eyes.
His voice was firm and gentle.
"Of course, you are now in my territory, and I will definitely protect you."
