Rita specially booked a restaurant with Yunnan cuisine, and wanted to change the taste for Neil, but
she didn't expect that he liked it very much.
"It seems that Rita hasn't changed a bit about food search. The recommended food is always so
yummy." Neil hadn't had the authentic hometown dishes for a long time, so he tasted good.
"I think you are not complimenting me."
"No. I was praising you sincerely. Don't be confused."
"Well, you can eat slowly. No one will grab the food from you. People who don't know you might think
that you are hungry several days." Rita handed him a glass of water and said. She was afraid that he
choked while eating.
"Wow, they are much better than those from America."
"What did you eat in America?"
"Sometimes I would cook by myself, but sometimes I'm too busy to eat outside. You know, the fast food
is not nutritious. Look, I'm getting thinner."
Rita looked him up and down. He was indeed thinner, but taller.
In the past, she could raise his chin, but now she could only reach his shoulder. She had grown a lot
over the years, so it was understandable that Neil also grew much taller, but indeed a lot thinner.
'it must be very hard for me to live alone in a foreign country.'.
"You can cook? I haven't found that. You can cook for me sometime. "
"I'm not good at cooking. If you like, I'll cook for you. I'm afraid you'll dislike me."
"Of course not, as long as it's done by you, I can help you eat it all."
"Okay. I'll make it for you when I'm free."
"You will be very busy recently. Just do your own things. Don't think of me all the time. I can take care
of myself."
"Of course I know. There are a lot of people in the company that don't want me to join the company."
"So, you should more prove yourself and impress them."
"I know. I won't let you down."
"If you dare to let me down, I'll do you something to you."
Neil smiled but didn't say anything, just eating the food in his own bowl.
That was just what Rita was like. Sometimes she looked overbearing, but she really cared about him.
After the meal, Rita took Neil back to the former school. He hadn't come back for so many years since
he went abroad. Even if he came back, he stayed there for a short time. So he seldom had time to go
back to his alma mater. She had planned to take him for a stroll in H city before he officially started
working these two days.
When they returned to the school, the students were still having classes. With Rita's hand in his hand,
Neil walked on the tree lined path of the school. Many students who had P.E. classes turned their
heads to look at them when they passed by.
The head teacher was still having class, so Rita and Neil waited for her at the door. Rita had contacted
the head teacher in advance, so the head teacher changed her ability of ignoring the bell. She left the
class immediately.
Rita looked at the students in the class in surprise. For the first time, they had finished their class on
time.
Mrs. Xu went out and saw Rita and Neil waiting at the door. She smiled and said, "Rita, there you are."
"Good morning, Mrs. Xu."
"Come in. Come to my office."
Mrs. Xu was the head and math teacher of them in high school. Although she was a math teacher, she
was not like the ordinary science teacher. She was very open-minded.
At the beginning, she didn't approve of their relationship because they were high school students and
the school had blocked it. She had talked to them several times. Back then, Rita was a hot blooded,
ignorant child who often contradicted the teachers.
But Neil assured her over and over again that they would not bring any negative impact on their
studies, and that they would not bring any trouble to other students, let alone showing up in the school.
After thinking for a while, Mrs. Xu believed that Neil was indeed in the top three of the grade. Although
Rita didn't have good grades in the examination, she was indeed a good girl in essence.
So Mrs. Xu stopped meddling in their affairs. Neil didn't tell Rita that he had visited Mrs. Xu. Rita said
with a triumphant smile, "You see, Mrs. Xu was finally defeated by our love."
Neil didn't say a word. She didn't need to bother herself with any trouble. He knew how to deal with it
by himself.
"Remember to treat Rita well, she is a good girl. She always contradicts me before, which made me
very angry. But now, she comes back more frequently. Some of my students can recognize her. If you
dare to make Rita sad, I won't let you go. " As she said, she patted on Rita's hand to threaten Neil,
which made him dumbfounded.
"How can I hurt Rita? If I really did something that hurt her, I will be punished by you."
"You'd better be careful, Mrs. Xu has many ways to give you a hard time." Rita said with a smile. The
students were getting more and more difficult to deal with now, so Rita gave Mrs. Xu a lot of
suggestions. Since then, the students would be more well behaved.
Mrs. Xu still had class, Rita and Neil knew that she was a responsible and attentive teacher. They didn't
continue the conversation and then left.
On the way out of the building, a boy ran into Rita, who almost fell onto the ground. Luckily, Neil was
quick enough to hold her.
"I'm sorry." The boy hurried back to the classroom, said sorry and ran away.
"Kids nowadays are so impolite. They just left after hitting someone." After making sure that Rita was
not hurt, Neil whispered to blame the boy.
"I'm fine. Nowadays young people are all like this." She patted on Neil's shoulder to calm him down,
trying to comfort him. How come she was the one knocked down, but he was angrier than herself. "I
used to be like this, didn't I? Do you think I was rude at that time? "
"There is no such thing. How could you be like them?"
"It's settled then. Let's go now. Aren't we going to your house? Let's go to buy something first. It would
be embarrassing if we go there without carrying anything. "
