This restaurant was mainly a fusion-type restaurant. The specialty dishes were cream mushroom soup and three-cup chicken. After Li Ran ordered these two dishes, she handed the menu to Zhou Liu.
Zhou Liu didn’t have any special preferences. Hence, when he saw the pictures on the menu, he chose two dishes that she found most appetizing, Mapo Tofu and Crab Fried Rice.
Li Ran stared straight at Zhou Liu. She realized that although this person looked awkward and slovenly, he seemed to have some sort of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
For example, his buzz cut had no extra hair, and it was exactly the same length as the last time Li Ran saw him. It must be because he trimmed his hair often. Despite being obsessed with coding, he still didn’t forget to trim his hair, so he definitely wasn’t a slovenly person.
Zhou Liu didn’t have a nanny to take care of his daily needs like Li Ran’s family did. Therefore, he definitely groomed himself.
However, the checkered shirt he was wearing was clean and ironed. Other than the subtle creases on his elbows, there wasn’t even a single wrinkle.
Shirts would usually be wrinkled after coming out of a washing machine. If it wasn’t ironed flat, there would be many creases on the surface of the shirt. Therefore, it could be seen that Zhou Liu was a very meticulous person who paid attention to his attire.
Although the design of the laptop bag he was carrying was almost identical to the one Li Ran had seen previously, Li Ran noticed that this laptop bag was different from the previous one.
That was because when Zhou Liu squatted down to help Li Ran pull out her heels, Li Ran saw an embroidery pattern behind his computer bag. It wasn’t on this computer bag, which meant that it was a different bag.
Zhou Liu had just finished ordering and was studying the QR code on the table. Every QR code had a certain pattern, and he was very interested in anything related to computers.
Zhou Liu was watching very seriously when suddenly, he felt as if a pair of eyes on him. When he looked up, he met Li Ran’s gaze. His heart skipped a beat as he stammered, “What… are you looking at?”
Li Ran was amused by his reaction and said with a smile, “I’m observing you.”
Zhou Liu was a science major, which had more men than women. He hadn’t seen many girls to begin with, not to mention such a straightforward girl. Zhou Liu was so amused by Li Ran’s words that he didn’t know what to say.
Fortunately, the attendant came to serve the dishes at this time.
He took the chopsticks out of the paper wrap and wiped his hands with a wet wipe. After he took out the wooden chopsticks and joined them with the metal chopsticks, he placed the two chopsticks on the plate at the same time to ensure that they were of the same length before starting to pick up food with them.
During the meal, Li Ran was the one who kept finding topics to talk about. Although Zhou Liu wasn’t interested, he answered every question. If he had any understanding of the topics Li Ran raised, he would try his best to share his understanding. The topics that he didn’t know about would end awkwardly.
The two of them made small talk, but most of the time, they were focused on eating.
When the appetizers were almost finished, the attendant placed two servings of cream mushroom soup in front of the two of them.
The soup had just been boiled and was still steaming. It had a strong creamy fragrance and was very appetizing.
After Zhou Liu picked up a spoon and stirred the cream soup, the hot steam blew on his black-framed gla.s.ses, creating a thick layer of white fog.
Before he could react, Li Ran smiled and reached out to help him take off his gla.s.ses.
His world suddenly became clear yet blurry at the same time.
Without the white fog, he could see the person opposite him and the dishes on the table clearly. The blurriness was because he was more than 500 degrees short-sighted, so without gla.s.ses, he could barely see anything.
Furthermore, when Li Ran helped him take off his gla.s.ses just now, her soft fingers accidentally touched the bridge of his nose. It was a light touch, but it left him at a loss..
