Your Mother's Best Friend Chapter 5

Chloe Shen reluctantly let him go under the condition that Stephen Su reluctantly agreed to take care of all her meals in the future.

At noon, Chloe Shen was humming a song and walking on the street with a swagger, looking excited.

Since a big enemy was treating her to a meal, Chloe Shen naturally wouldn't be polite. She was wondering if there were any good restaurants worth trying.

Stephen Su followed silently from behind, cursing in his heart, and at the same time feeling a little inexplicably nervous...

A time traveler from 20 years ago was walking openly on the street. Although he would not be exposed unless there was a small probability of the police checking his identity, it was like standing on a tall building and looking down. Even though you knew you would not fall, you would still feel terrified.

"Lancheng has changed so much that I feel like I don't recognize it anymore." Chloe Shen walked in front and looked at the tall buildings around him, feeling a little dazed.

Stephen Su was also somewhat moved by what Chloe Shen said, and sighed: "The East District is still okay, many old buildings have not been demolished, but the West District is really changing with each passing day."

Things have developed too fast in recent years. Not to mention Chloe Shen, even Stephen Su had no time to react. Many things can only be buried in the memories of the past forever.

Chloe Shen rolled his eyes and looked around - the shops along the street, the endless flow of cars on the road, everything seemed new to him, like a curious baby.

She tried to overlap the Lancheng in her mind with the current city, but found that she could only vaguely find the past appearance...

This is probably what the familiar strangeness means.

Stephen Su followed behind him two steps behind, glanced at his phone, and found that his best friend Lucas Pei had sent a message: "Playing games? Jie, understand?"

"Beat your sister, I can't carry you." Stephen Su replied.

"Stop talking nonsense, log in, and watch me kill people with my big B Kuo."

"Are you sure you're not being vibrated?"

"hehe."

"We'll talk about it next time. We're outside today."

"Why don't you stay at home and lie down, you actually go out?" Lucas Pei sent a shocked emoticon.

...

Stephen Su was speechless. Why was the world so prejudiced against freelancers? He was also very serious about his work at home, okay?

"What are you doing outside?"

"Go shopping with a beautiful girl." Stephen Su replied casually.

After sending this message, the other party was obviously silent for a long time, and it took a long time before he replied.

"Qi Zi, you can fool me, but don't fool yourself. It doesn't matter if I'm fooled by you, just laugh it off. I suggest you go out and find a class, you've developed paranoia at home."

...

Stephen Su looked at the long string of text and wanted to pull him out of the phone and beat him up. But he quickly had an idea and looked at Chloe Shen who was smiling and happily strolling in front of him...

Snap!

Stephen Su turned on the camera, silently took a picture of his back, and then sent it to Lucas Pei.

Not long after, the phone suddenly started vibrating non-stop.

Looking at the series of question marks on the chat interface.

Stephen Su curled the corners of his mouth.

Haha, come on, we are all single, let’s hurt each other!

"What did you just do?" Chloe Shen noticed Stephen Su's smirk and frowned.

She always felt that Stephen Su had done something bad by pointing his phone at her just now.

"Nothing, just taking a picture." Stephen Su said somewhat guiltily.

Can a mobile phone take photos?

Chloe Shen scratched his head, thought about it and didn't hesitate. Since mobile phones in this era can be used to order takeout with just a few gestures, it's not surprising that they can also take photos...

As for future technology, she definitely cannot understand it.

"What are we eating later?" Stephen Su asked.

Chloe Shen thought about it and didn't answer. He led Stephen Su around, turning left and right, stopping from time to time to frown and look around, as if he was trying to find the way. After walking around for a long time, they finally went into an old beef noodle restaurant.

To be honest, Stephen Su has been here for so many years and never realized that there was a noodle restaurant in this place. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Stephen Su seldom goes out.

Tang's Beef Noodles---Stephen Su looked at the sign at the door. The font was not so neat, as if it was handwritten. Entering the store and looking at the decoration inside, there was a breath of the old times.

"This store hasn't closed down yet." Chloe Shen was a little surprised.

According to Chloe Shen, this noodle shop should have been open for a long time, at least she was there at that time.

"What would you two like to eat?"

Seeing Stephen Su and the other two come in, the proprietress hurried over to greet them. The proprietress looked nearly sixty years old, with some gray hair.

"A bowl of beef noodles with more coriander." Chloe Shen ordered familiarly without even looking at the menu.

"Same as her, no cilantro." Stephen Su was too lazy to choose and just agreed with her.

After ordering the noodles, the proprietress went to the kitchen to work. Chloe Shen looked at Stephen Su and said with contempt, "You don't even eat coriander. You have no soul."

...

Stephen Su rolled his eyes and was too lazy to argue with her.

Are you offended by the fact that we don’t eat coriander?

"You used to eat here often? Is the food good?" Stephen Su felt that Chloe Shen seemed to be particularly familiar with this restaurant and was a little curious.

Chloe Shen didn't say anything, just nodded.

Stephen Su looked around and found that there were only seven or eight diners in the restaurant besides them. He couldn't help but wonder: "Why is there so few people when the food is so delicious? It's dinner time now."

"I'm not sure. Anyway, the business was very booming at that time. If you wanted to eat, you had to queue up." Chloe Shen shook his head.

As they were talking, the proprietress brought up two bowls of noodles. She was a little surprised to hear what Chloe Shen said: "Our store was indeed very famous in the past, but that was more than 20 years ago. Now I am old and have no energy, so I only do business with regular customers. You don't look very old, how did you know such an old thing?"

Chloe Shen curled her lips and was about to say: I ate here more than 20 years ago.

Stephen Su subconsciously felt that what she was going to say next was definitely not good, so he quickly glared at her and interrupted her: "Haha, I heard these things from her mother. Her mother used to eat here often."

Being interrupted, Chloe Shen snorted and did not refute Stephen Su's words.

She knew that Stephen Su was afraid that she would be exposed.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why the girl looked so familiar. You can bring your mother over for a meal some other day. I'll treat you. Maybe I even know her." The proprietress suddenly realized and said with a smile.

"Haha, I'll definitely do it next time, next time."

Stephen Su smiled and replied, until the proprietress turned and left, he wiped his sweat silently and whispered: "You should talk less, I always feel like you will be exposed at any time."

Chloe Shen glanced at Stephen Su and slurped her noodles: "Actually, you don't need to be so nervous."

"Um?"

"Even if I let it slip, people would just think I'm crazy. No one would believe in time travel."

"What if I recognize you?"

"Would you remember what someone looked like 20 years ago? Even if you feel familiar with them, you would at most just treat them as strangers who look similar."

Stephen Su was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized that this was indeed the truth. If he hadn't seen Chloe Shen disappear in front of him in a flash, he would probably still be half-believing and half-doubting.

etc...

whoosh!

Stephen Su suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked a very serious problem.

"Hey, you're not going to put it back on all of a sudden, are you?"

Stephen Su looked at her seriously. Chloe Shen had a strange expression on her face, as if she also realized something.

"It should be... no way..." Chloe Shen was not sure, as the thing was not under her control.

The two looked at each other.

If this magic trick happened in public, Stephen Su guessed that they would have to go to Approaching Science tomorrow.

Stephen Su realized the seriousness of the matter.

On the other hand, Chloe Shen was still sipping noodles, looking calm and composed. Stephen Su was furious. It was really like the eunuchs were anxious while the emperor was not.

Hmm? Something seems wrong...

"Eat your noodles quickly and leave!"

Stephen Su whispered, picking up the chopsticks and stuffing a big mouthful of noodles into his mouth.

"Hiss! Hot!"

Stephen Su burned his tongue because he ate too quickly.

Chloe Shen glanced at Stephen Su, who was jumping up and down in anger, and waved to the front desk with an expressionless face.

"Madam boss, pack up!"

...

Looking at her eyes, Stephen Su felt that his intelligence as a future man seemed to be despised.
