A man wearing a baseball cap walked in, and Xiao Jiu, who was nearby, went to greet him.

"I'll sit in my usual spot."

As Lu Zhixing watched him pass by, he had a feeling of déjà vu.

Seeing Yunxi staring in fascination, Lu Zhixing teased her:

"So this is the type of handsome guy the landlady likes."

Yunxi looked away, a wide smile spreading across her face. She patted Lu Zhixing's arm and said, barely able to contain her excitement:

"I'll be right back. You can go sit outside with Tang Li for now."

Lu Zhixing couldn't help but glance at the man a few more times before going outside. Tang Li and Tang Sui were setting out hot pot ingredients when they saw Lu Zhixing come out of the house alone. They asked:

Where is Sister Xi?

Lu Zhixing smiled and said:

"A handsome guy has arrived, and your sister Xi's soul has already been stolen by him."

Women, you know.

I'm naturally interested in these kinds of things.

Tang Li and Tang Sui exchanged glances, and without saying a word, they put down what they were doing and entered the wine tasting room one after the other, staring in the direction of Yunxi in a very affected manner.

"Those two, are they your friends?"

Although Seventh Brother did not look up, he had already taken in everything.

Yunxi glanced back, winked at Tang Li, and told them to go outside and wait.

"It's my friend and her sister. Today is her birthday, and we're planning to have hot pot. Sir, have you had dinner yet? Would you like to join us?"

Seventh Brother tapped his fingers on the table, looking like he was waiting for the wine to arrive.

And politely declined:

"I'm sorry, I don't have the habit of eating dinner. Thank you for your kind invitation."

Skipping dinner?

Yunxi was slightly disappointed.

Even though Zha Zhongqi was diagnosed with moderate fatty liver and the doctor repeatedly told him to eat less meat and skip dinner, he still found ways to sneak in some extra food.

As someone who gets hungry if he misses a meal, what has made him able to skip dinner now?

Yunxi felt terrible inside, but she still had to smile and deal with it:

"No wonder you're in such good shape, sir. I won't bother you any longer."

Yunxi stood up and almost bumped into Tang Li, who was carrying a glass of wine.

Upon seeing that the person delivering the wine was Tang Li, Yunxi winked in acknowledgment:

What kind of wine is this?

Tang Li smiled and placed the wine in front of Seventh Brother, explaining:

"This wine is called 'Return of an Old Friend'."

Seventh Brother's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously lowered his head.

The legs, scarred by the fire, trembled uncontrollably under the table. This subtle change caught Tang Li's eye, and Tang Li kindly reminded him:

"The wine is good, but too much is harmful. A little wine is pleasant, but too much wine is harmful. Please enjoy it slowly, sir."

After speaking, Tang Li straightened up, preparing to leave, when she suddenly noticed the wound on Seventh Brother's ear. She couldn't help but take a second look, only to see Seventh Brother raise his glass to express his gratitude:

"Thanks for the reminder. Ever since I got into a fight a few years ago while drinking, which resulted in a head injury and broken limbs, and I spent more than half a year in the hospital, I've been able to control my alcohol addiction, though I still have it. You can do as you please, don't worry about me. I'm a boring person, so I came out for a couple of drinks without telling my family. I have to go back later."

Family members?

Yunxi almost blurted out:

"You're married?"

Tang Li seemed quite surprised by Yunxi's reaction.

After all, she was always calm and collected, and rarely let others cloud her judgment or thoughts.

But it was clear that Yunxi was completely flustered in front of this man.

Seventh Brother did not deny it, and Tang Li hurriedly pulled Yunxi back:

"Since you're keeping it from your family, we won't disturb your rare moment of peace."

Tang Li helped Yunxi leave. Seventh Brother finally raised his head slightly, his gaze falling on Yunxi's somewhat dazed steps. His heart ached, but he hardened his heart and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

As Yunxi walked out of the wine tasting room, she looked back twice.

Before Tang could ask, she smiled first:

"If we're good friends, don't ask anything. When the time is right, I'll tell you everything."

Tang Li seemed to understand, but not quite. He put his arm around her slender waist and comforted her:

"He's just a man! Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere. Let's go, let's not let a man interfere with our hot pot meal."

Although Tang Li knew that Yunxi wasn't upset because she had fallen in love with a man who had a family, he didn't want to put any extra psychological burden on her, so he simply pretended that he knew nothing.

Yunxi quickly adjusted her mood, and soon they were eating hot pot.

"Although Jincheng's hot pot is famous for its excellence, I, Yunxi, guarantee that you will have a completely new understanding of hot pot."

Yunxi's laughter is very penetrating.

Inside the room, Seventh Brother stared blankly out the window. Watching Yunxi chatting and laughing, he couldn't help but smile as well.

Song Beiye arrived late, intending to sit next to Tang Li, but Lu Zhixing remained as steady as a mountain, and Tang Sui refused to give up his seat. He had no choice but to sit next to Yunxi, grumbling:

"The evening rush hour in Tanzhou is really terrible. My driving skills, which are better than those of a race car driver, are completely useless because of the traffic jam."

cut!

Tang Sui pouted:

"A race car driver is good? You're really good at bragging. Speaking of race car drivers, I heard that Tanzhou is going to hold its first circuit championship this year. There are a lot of participants. If you're really that good, go and try to participate."

After hearing this, Song Beiye picked up his phone, scrolled through his contacts, and made a call directly:

"Old Bai, I just heard from a young girl that Tanzhou is going to hold a track and field championship this year. How come I haven't heard a word about this?"

On the other end of the phone, Lao Bai said bluntly:

"You haven't touched racing for years, how could I dare to invite you?"

Song Beiye frowned:

"Count me in this year, as a favor to you, Lao Bai. By the way, who are the participants this year?"

Old Bai listed quite a few people.

Song Beiye was somewhat disappointed:

"Where's Zhan Feng? Why wasn't he invited?"

Old Bai gasped in shock:

"They're playing in the Formula One World Championship. How could we, with our small-scale operations, dare to invite such a powerful figure? Besides, I've heard rumors that Zhanfeng is a woman. I don't know if you've heard, but it's all over the industry that Zhanfeng hasn't competed for four years because she got married and had a child."

Is Zhan Feng a woman?

Song Beiye laughed heartily:

"If Zhanfeng were a woman, I'd be a transvestite! Go ahead and invite her; maybe she hasn't participated in a competition in four years and is itching to try."

At that moment, Tang Li, who was eating tripe, suddenly choked badly on the chili soup. Song Beiye quickly hung up the phone, picked up the glass of plum juice on the table, and handed it to her.

"Quickly drink some plum juice to calm down."

Even faster than him was Lu Zhixing.

However, what Lu Zhixing handed to Tang Li was a sliced ​​watermelon.

Faced with the two's attentiveness, Tang Li remained impartial, accepting the watermelon in one hand and the plum juice in the other, following the order of arrival.

This scene happened to be witnessed by Huo Chenyu, who happened to arrive at the scene.
