Chapter 36 Approaching
Evelyn was somewhat moved.
When I came to my senses, I was already standing in line at the door of the puff shop.
She was not wearing any makeup or a wig. Her dyed black hair fell to her waist and she was wearing a simple white dress.
Standing in the bustling night market seems a bit out of place.
Her beauty is so exquisite that the mundane world does not suit her.
Maybe she wanted to taste the delicious food in humans' mouths, or maybe she didn't want to stay in an empty room.
Garland received a phone call and hurried to the nursing home.
Evelyn was at the end of the line, killing time by walking with the crowd.
When it was her turn, there were only the last five left.
"The little girl will come first?"
"These five are not enough for a box. How about I give you a discount and give you some other pastries?" The waitress was a middle-aged woman. She wore a transparent mask and looked at Evelyn with a smile.
"Come and see which one you want to eat"
Evelin looked around blankly, she had never eaten anything like this before, and she didn’t know what she wanted.
"This is a jujube paste square pastry, it's so fragrant."
"And chocolate Napoleon, my daughter loves it the most."
"Young girls nowadays all pay attention to body shape. This is a low-sugar Longjing pastry."
"You won't get fat if you eat it."
Seeing Evelin looking a little overwhelmed, the middle-aged woman introduced them one by one.
"How about this, I'll give you some, for free, come back and buy more if they taste good."
The middle-aged woman glanced at her husband who was busy behind her, blinked, and pretended to whisper to Evelin.
"I heard it. Sooner or later, you will sell out the shop."
The middle-aged man behind him joked with a smile and complained to the little girl who was doing homework next to him.
"Sister looks like a fairy, mom, give her more."
Unexpectedly, the little girl ran over happily, blinking her big, bright eyes at Evelin.
She had never seen such a beautiful person, she looked exactly like the princess fairy in the animation.
“Here, the girl has packed it.” The little girl’s words made the couple laugh and handed over Evelin’s pastries.
“Thank you.” Evelin took the things woodenly and thanked him.
"Girl, there's nothing you can't get through."
"Life is bitter, we can have some sweet spice, be happy."
Suddenly, the middle-aged woman called Evelin, and she could see that Evelin was in a low mood.
I just thought he was having difficulties in life and couldn't help but give him some advice.
Evelin nodded, chuckled, and waved the little girl away.
As they walked along the road, Evelin carefully took a bite of the puff.
It was indeed very sweet, and she didn't like such sweet things very much.
But it seems that my mood has really improved.
"Miss Qiao."
At this moment, Jin Yingming's voice suddenly came from the car on the side of the road.
Evelin turned back in surprise, she didn’t expect to see Jin Yingming in such a place.
"I'm Jin Yingming, and I'm a schoolmate of your brother Qiao Yi."
"I just went there and the puffs were sold out. I wonder if Miss Qiao is willing to sell them to me."
Jin Yingming pointed at the puff in Evelin’s hand and chuckled.
Evelin tilted her head and didn’t speak yet, Jin Yingming spoke again.
"It's like this, my brother is clamoring to eat his puffs."
"It's my fault that I came too late and didn't buy it. I'm afraid he will be disappointed when he gets back."
Somehow, speaking of children, Evelin thought of the innocent smile of the little girl in the puff shop just now.
“This is for you.” Evelin stuffed the entire bag into Jin Yingming’s arms and turned away.
"Wait, Miss Qiao."
Evelin stopped and looked back, and was a little curious when she saw Jin Yingming catching up.
"May I have the honor of treating you to a meal?"
“I’m very picky.” Evelin raised the corners of her lips with a sly smile and stared at Jin Yingming.
"I think I have the confidence to satisfy you."
Jin Yingming stretched out his hand and smiled lightly, and Evelin thought for a moment before getting into Jin Yingming’s car.
Unexpectedly, Jin Yingming did not take her to any high-end French restaurant, but chose the local cuisine of Nanda Road.
"This restaurant only serves five tables of guests a day, and you can watch the chef's cooking process up close."
"The ingredients are absolutely fresh, all flown in early that morning."
"Miss Qiao must be used to eating delicacies from land and sea. Why not try the flavors from home?"
"I'm not from Beijing, but it smells so good."
Evelin stared at the chef without blinking, while Jin Yingming introduced him.
"Where is Miss Qiao from?"
This sentence aroused Jin Yingming's curiosity, and he couldn't help but ask further questions.
"I don't know. I only know that my father and his family moved here when he was young."
Evelin realized that Jin Yingming was trying to get a word in, so she retracted her gaze and stared at him.
"Sorry, I asked too many questions."
Realizing Evelin's defensiveness, Jin Yingming apologized and retracted his inquiring gaze.
Both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much, and Jin Yingming seemed to be hesitant to speak before leaving.
Seeing this, Evelin took his phone, entered her number, and stuffed it back into his hand.
"Goodbye."
"When can we meet again?"
Jin Yingming couldn't help but speak.
“Let it be.” Evelin didn’t give him a chance to ask back, she hailed a car and drove away.
Jin Yingming stood there in a daze. For some reason, he always looked for Qiao Yi’s shadow in Evelin.
Her every move, every frown and every smile always made him feel how nice it would be if she were Qiao Yi.
Through today's contact with Evelyn, he clarified his inner thoughts.
Jin Yingming couldn't accept himself like this, and he didn't know how to confess to his father.
The family had high hopes for him, but he...
Evelin lay on the soft big bed in a trance.
She felt that Jin Yingming was always looking at another person through her, just like Vincent.
The look in her eyes when she looked at him was clearly gentle and loving, but what she saw through her figure was another soul.
Thinking that Evelin was gradually falling asleep, a beam of silver light suddenly exploded in front of her originally dark eyes.
Her body seemed to be controlled, and in her hand was a blood whip that she had transformed from blood.
She dragged her tired body to stand in front of a person, pointed at the increasing number of people in front of her, and protected the people behind her with one hand.
"This is my last pride, please fulfill it for me."
She covered the man's mouth and whispered, exerting all her strength to the extreme to fight against the crowd that was attacking her.
The sounds of roaring, wind, and blood splattering gradually receded from her ears.
"wait for me."
She trembled and tried to grab the person in front of her, but in the end, the dazzling light became stronger.
She still disappeared in the silvery white starlight.
When Evelin woke up, her face was covered with tears.
The heartache felt real, just like the one I felt when I met Vincent.
I don’t know whose dream she has entered tonight, and whose life is filled with unrequited love.
In the middle of the night, Garland returned tiredly to Evelyn's bedroom and sat quietly beside her.
