Adelle took a big gulp of the soybean juice.
Yuck!
This taste!
It’s indescribably… unique!
How should I describe it?
It feels like drinking a bowl of sour, spoiled dishwater…
Shangguan Xu kicked the trash bin over to Adelle’s side, “If you’re not used to it, just spit it out. No need to force yourself.”
Spit it out?
She wouldn’t do that!
If Shangguan Xu can drink it, why can’t she?
Adelle swallowed the soybean juice in her mouth and gave a thumbs up: “Delicious!”
“Really? For real?” Shangguan Xu was somewhat incredulous: “You can get used to this taste?”
“Yes! It’s really good!” Adelle picked up the remaining soybean juice and finished it in one go. As she drank, her taste buds became numb.
She drank too quickly and couldn’t help coughing.
“Take it easy, don’t choke,” Shangguan Xu stood up and gently patted her back.
“All done,” Adelle put the empty bowl on the table.
“Do you want another bowl?” Shangguan Xu asked.
Adelle quickly waved her hands, “No, no, just one bowl is filling enough for me.”
Shangguan Xu said with some surprise, “I didn’t expect you to get used to the taste of soybean juice. Many of my colleagues from other places can’t stand it.”
Adelle said with a smile, “I’m not picky. I’m easy to please.”
After finishing the soybean juice, the two of them went to other places to have fun. At noon, the four of them assembled at the entrance of National Beauty.
It was Adelle’s first time at National Beauty, and as soon as she entered, she was amazed!
“Oh my God! Is this a place to eat?”
“It’s so beautiful!”
“What kind of clothes are they wearing?”
Ni Yang explained, “These are Hanfu, the traditional attire of the Han nationality.”
“I want to wear it too!”
Ni Yang said with a smile, “I’ll give you a set when we go back home!”
“Really?” Adelle looked at Ni Yang with surprise.
“Really,” Ni Yang nodded.
“You’re the best, sister!” Adelle excitedly hugged Ni Yang’s arm.
The four of them went up to the third floor of National Beauty, and Adelle was once again full of emotion at the stunning view of the third floor.
Actually, before returning to China, her impression of the country could be summed up in three words.
Dirty, chaotic, broken.
After returning to China, she realized what the substance of a country was.
A country with profound cultural heritage, no matter how battered by storms, war and smoke, stands tall, endlessly charming!
This spirit, this substance is something that Western countries don’t have.
Ni Yang ordered a lot of dishes, first came the pre-meal desserts.
Exquisite mousse cakes, delicious double-skin milk, and refreshing sugarcane and pomelo dessert…
Adelle enjoyed them immensely, having never eaten such delicious desserts before.
After the desserts, the main dishes started to come out.
Not only were these dishes tasty, but the presentation and plating were top-notch!
“Sister, can I come here to eat again tomorrow?” After eating, Adelle asked somewhat reluctantly.
Although the meals at the Ni Family’s home were also delicious, the limited kitchen tools at home couldn’t make such delectable desserts.
Every girl loves desserts, and Adelle is no exception.
Ni Yang nodded, “Sure, but I might not have time to join you tomorrow. I’ll give you the membership card, and you can ask someone else in the family to come with you.”
Having a car at home, it was quite convenient for Adelle if she wanted to come, “Okay, no problem.”
After the meal, Ni Yang and Mo Qishen went to watch a movie.
Adelle still followed behind Shangguan Xu.
She really liked Shangguan Xu so much that even doing nothing, just standing by his side, felt incredibly satisfying.
The next day, Adelle hitched a ride with Shangguan Xu into town.
Originally, she wanted to bring Jonathan and Luona with her, but recently Jonathan got fascinated with gardening, Luona along with Madame Shangguan and Mrs. Zheng got hooked on playing Mahjong, setting up their stools under the big banyan tree at the village entrance whenever they were free.
Zhao Yu had classes at the training center, and Little Ni Yun was too young… so she had to come by herself.
Shangguan Xu was somewhat concerned about her being alone, “Adelle, did you bring your pager?”
“Mm,” Adelle nodded, pulling out the pager, “I have it.”
Shangguan Xu continued, “If you can’t find the way or run into any trouble later, remember to beep me!”
“Okay,” Adelle continued nodding.
After discussing a few things, Shangguan Xu drove off to the bank, leaving Adelle to stroll the streets by herself, planning to finish her walk and then go to National Beauty for a meal before going home.
