The Bowl of Seven Emotions

"I heard that Miss Shen likes crabs. This is something I specially prepared for you."

Finally, the chef brought a small plate with a crab with teeth and claws on it.The crab shell was red and apparently steamed.

Shen Qing looked at the crab, then looked at the look in the chef's expectant eyes, and couldn't help but hesitate.There is no tool for eating crabs here, do you have to break it with your hands?

The chef didn't notice her entanglement, so he picked up a small jar of wine next to him and poured amber wine into the delicate wine cup for her.

The aroma of wine was accompanied by the aroma of food, and Shen Qing really felt that his stomach was burning.

The chef was busy with her, Shen Qing was a little embarrassed, but Chen Dongsheng opened the mouth to stop the other party, "Okay, you go down first."

The chef glanced at Chen Dongsheng reluctantly, and said to her again and again before leaving, "I made wine specially for you. You must taste it."

Shen Qing smiled awkwardly at him, not knowing what to say.

When someone left, Chen Dongsheng explained lightly: "His character is a bit weird, but his craftsmanship is not bad, try it."

Hearing this, she hesitated to stretch out her chopsticks towards the crab in front of her, and when she caught the crab shell, she made a crisp sound.She took away the chopsticks strangely, only to realize that the crab shell of this crab was actually made of noodles.

She had heard people say that using noodles to make crab shells before, but she had never heard of a chef who could do it, especially in such a way that it was fake.

Regardless of the other party's cooking skills, at least the cooking skills are already top-notch.

She clamped down two crab claws and put them in her mouth to chew. The delicious aroma of the crab meat in the mouth and the crunchy texture of her face made her squinted with satisfaction.

"Is it delicious?"

"Yeah." Shen Qing nodded. She was smiling originally, but after seeing Chen Dongsheng's faint expression, the smile couldn't last.

After the two looked at each other for a few seconds, Chen Dongsheng spoke, "A Qing, do you have anything to tell me face to face?"

His question made her panic, and her heart seemed to be severely caught by something.She realized that if she spoke the words, there would be no chance of going back.

Looking at his eyes, she was silent for a long time before asking, "A Sheng, don't I have a chance to stand by your side with integrity?"

Her eyes were full of hope, and she thought in her heart, even if he deceived herself, just like at the beginning, she could treat it as true and continue to wait.Even if it is far away, it will never be realized.

"Yes."

Chen Dongsheng didn't give her that chance, his answer was so simple.Even if his voice was so gentle, her gentleness made her tears fall.

"Shall we... separate?"

"If this is what you want, you can."

There is no retention, no reluctance, nothing.Shen Qing tried to find some nostalgia in his eyes, even a little bit.

"A Qing, goodbye."

Chen Dongsheng picked up the wine cup and raised it towards her.

Shen Qing raised the wine cup in front of him, bowed to him, raised his head and drank.

Seeing that she had drunk the glass of wine, Chen Dongsheng put down the glass, but did not move the wine in the glass.He didn't even move his chopsticks anymore, but watched Shen Qing bow his head to eat seriously.

The conversation just now seemed to disappear with the wind, leaving no trace in people's hearts.

Shen Qing seemed to have forgotten the people around him and ate on his own without even noticing the chef who returned to the restaurant sometime.

Under the gaze of the two people, Shen Qing ate all the food in front of him, then Mu dumbly stood up and walked towards the gate.

The butler was still waiting at the door, and it was not surprising to see her coming out, leading the way and taking her back to the original guest room.

"Ah, Ms. Shen is really a good eater. If there is a chance, I must invite her to dinner again." The chef sighed loudly as she watched Shen Qing leave.

It's a pity that the beard on his face blocked his expression, making people fail to feel his sincerity.

Chen Dongsheng put the napkin aside, stood up and said, "Our transaction is over. I hope you have already left before the sun sets tomorrow."

"Of course, of course." The chef made an exaggerated exit to Chen Dongsheng.

When he woke up, Shen Qing's eyes were blank.She remembered that she had planned to have a showdown with Chen Dongsheng yesterday, but she didn't know why she fell asleep after taking a shower and didn't even eat any food.

She hurried to wash out the door, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw a housekeeper standing outside.

"Miss Shen, the family master told me to take you away."

"Leave?" Shen Qing's expression changed, and she hadn't told him anything yet.

The butler always has a smile on his face, but it doesn't make people feel so close.He put a simple red lacquer dressing box with both hands, and said to Shen Qing: "The owner of the house has been very busy recently and has no time to receive Miss Shen. He asked me to bring you a word."

Shen Qing looked at the dressing box in a daze, as if she understood something in her heart. She did not refuse, and took the dressing box with both hands and hugged it in her arms.

"What?" She took a deep breath and looked at the old butler.

The butler smiled, "He said, I hope you will be well for the rest of your life."

At this moment, Shen Qing seemed to hear something.Later, she thought, that was probably the sound of her heart finally falling to the ground.

"……I will."

She didn't know how she left the Chen family's old house. She rejected the butler's proposal to send her to the airport. On a roadside, she got out of the car and walked along with a salute.

His mind was empty, as if there was nothing, unable to think.

So he knows!

That's right, there are many people he arranged around her. Even if a group of people have been fired after this scandal, there are still many people who are willing to pass on any news about her.

How could her little movements be hidden from his eyes.

The situation that Zhuo Ran was worried about did not appear, and she could not even say goodbye to that person in person.

Perhaps the other party was waiting for her to make this choice early in the morning.The company she thought might have already become a burden to the other party.

He never mentioned it on the initiative, maybe because she was dispensable for her existence, or because he was waiting for her to speak.

Now, she made up her mind, and he has no nostalgia.

It's okay not to see each other, at least to leave her with the last fig leaf.

I just hope that for the rest of my life, never meet again.

She walked awkwardly in this city, which is the city where he lives. She had stayed here for a long time, but after all, she was just a passerby.

She almost greedily looked at the scenery beside the road, the plants and trees here, hoping to keep all this in her mind, even if she didn't set foot here in the second half of her life, she could still remember it firmly.
