Chapter 33: Xiao Jinyi, who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside

Xiao Jinyi and Shen Shixu sent Princess Shoujia back home. They had been busy for a long time and had not had dinner yet. They were hungry, so they went to Tianxiang Tower where they had been last time.

Tianxianglou has better business in the evening, with many people coming out to hang out with friends after a busy day.

When Shen Shixu went up to the second floor, he saw three or two people gathered on the first floor, talking to each other about the new things they had encountered that day.

Others complained to others about their wives, saying that their wives were too fierce and that if they looked at other women for even a second, they would be beaten up by their tigress.

These plain words reflect the reality of life. Only when the country is at peace can the people live a good life.

Shen Shixu and his friends arrived late this time and did not reserve a seat in advance, so they sat in the No. 7 box of the Tianzihao. However, it happened that the waiter who came to serve them was the same one who came last time.

The waiter obviously had not forgotten them. After all, these two people were so outstanding in appearance and their temperament was also extraordinary. Seeing the two people coming again, the waiter smiled from ear to ear.

"Hey, we two are meeting again. What would you like to eat today? Is it the same as last time?"

Shen Shixu didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that he would meet this eloquent waiter again, and he immediately laughed.

"It's you again, but this time you're not doing it the same way as last time. Serve us a mutton hotpot, a dish of eight-treasure pearl duck, a dish of steamed pork with rice flour, a tray of shepherd's purse dumplings, and a dish of lotus root and pork rib soup. These first, and if they're not enough, add more."

The waiter poured more tea for the two people and left with a smile, "Okay, tell the kitchen to serve the food quickly. I'll leave first."

After the waiter left, Shen Shixu took a sip of hot tea before asking Xiao Jinyi, "Your Highness, you are not a honest person!"

When Xiao Jinyi heard this question, he hummed in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"Just two hours ago, I remember someone came to me and said that he couldn't comfort others, so he asked me to help.

In the end, I didn't say a word and someone solved the problem on their own.

Moreover, he looks eloquent and gentle, but he doesn't have the demeanor of a cold-faced god of war at all! ”

Xiao Jinyi was stunned when he heard this, and then asked him: "Really? Do you like me who is cold and taciturn, or gentle and talkative?"

Xiao Jinyi was very nervous when he asked this question. He clutched his clothes tightly with his hands under the table and felt uneasy in his heart.

Chen Shixu felt that his question did not seem like one asked by a friend, but more like a question asked to someone he liked. However, looking at Xiao Jinyi, who was sitting upright with a frank look in his eyes, he felt that it was impossible.

Not to mention that he is the iron-clad straight man in the universe, Xiao Jinyi doesn't look like a man at all. He must be thinking too much.

Chen Shixu missed the truth magnificently. If he had allocated a little bit of his IQ to his EQ, he would have realized Xiao Jinyi's feelings for him.

"Me? You shouldn't ask me about this kind of thing, you should ask your future wife. But since you asked, I will answer you." Shen Shixu pondered for a moment.

"If you ask me, whether it's the cold you or the gentle you, it's still you in the end.

Being indifferent to outsiders does not prevent you from being gentle to your family. People like you are cold on the outside but warm on the inside. They may seem distant at first, but after getting to know you, they will understand how good a person you are. I quite like people like you. ”

Xiao Jinyi couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard him say that, but he still explained: "Actually, I'm still a relatively cold person, whether it's to outsiders or family members.

Even my brother dislikes me because I have a cold face and I am not as cute as my younger brother.

The reason I was able to say so much in front of my aunt just now was because I was afraid that she couldn't bear it or would give up. I was really afraid of her. ”

As Xiao Jinyi spoke, he held his forehead with his hand and looked like he had a headache. Shen Shixu really admired Princess Shoujia in his heart. It was really a skill to be able to torture the cold-faced god of war like this.

As soon as they finished their topic, the waiter came over with his people to serve the dishes. "My two guests, your dishes are ready. In addition, Mr. Zheng is in a good mood today, so he sent a jar of wine to each table of guests at Tianxiang Tower."

"Mr. Zheng?" Shen Shixu didn't know much about the dignitaries in the capital, but since he could give each table an extra bottle of wine, he must be very rich.

"He is the second son of Duke Ping. His mother's family is the famous wealthy Chen family. This young man has everything he needs, including money, so he can serve such a jar of good wine to each table."

When the waiter explained to Shen Shixu, his tone was full of undisguised envy.

Shen Shixu had heard of the name of the wealthy businessman Chen. His family was also in business, and they had cooperated with Chen in the jewelry business.

"So that's how it is. Thank you, brother Xiaoer, for clearing up my confusion." Shen Shixu stuffed a few copper coins into Xiaoer's hand. Xiaoer looked at the copper coins in his hand and left happily.

"You got a jar of good wine for free, Your Highness. Let's try it. We didn't get to drink wine last time we came here. This time, let's try the wine in their restaurant."

Shen Shixu opened the wine seal and poured out two bowls of wine. This wine was naturally not as good as the Intoxicating Renjian that Xiao Jinyi collected, but it was also very good.

It has a light bamboo fragrance, which tastes a bit sweet when you taste it carefully, and has a slightly strong aftertaste.

"This wine is not bad, but you can't drink too much. One bowl is fine, but if you drink more, you'll get drunk."

Xiao Jinyi's alcohol tolerance is much better than Shen Shixu's. He came from a military camp, and after winning a battle, there would always be a celebration banquet, and of course, wine is indispensable at the celebration banquet.

At the beginning, those people were still concerned about his status and did not dare to urge him to drink. But after a few battles, they became bolder. In addition, with the addition of Xiao Jinyi's cousins, a group of rough men took turns urging him to drink.

Xiao Jinyi was not the kind of person who was really heartless, and these people were friends with him for life, so he drank a bowl.

After the first bowl, there will naturally be the second and third bowls, and slowly the group of people in the military camp improve their drinking capacity.

Shen Shixu was full after dinner. Thinking that Tianxiang Tower was not very far from his own courtyard, he simply walked back by himself and rejected Xiao Jinyi's offer to take him back.

After Shen Shixu walked a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and looked behind him. At the door, he saw that Xiao Jinyi's carriage had not left yet, so he hurriedly called out.

"Your Highness, ahem, Jinyi, I'm moving in two days, remember to come and celebrate!" Shen Shixu originally wanted to call His Highness, but there were other people on the street. If he shouted this, Xiao Jinyi might not be able to go home tonight, so he changed his way of calling him.

"Okay, I understand. I will definitely go there when the time comes."
