Chapter 72: Eating the Rich
"Brother Yan, thank you for helping me sell orchids. I'll treat you to a meal!" When Luo Xiao saw Yan Zhiyi coming to pick him up, the first thing he said was to treat him to a meal.
"Okay, then I'll eat at a rich restaurant today." Yan Zhiyi cooperated with Luo Xiao with a smile on his face.
"Hehe,...TOEFL, TOEFL, by the way, Brother Yan, what do you want to eat!" Luo Xiao asked him.
Yan Zhiyi said without hesitation: "Let's have hotpot. The beef hotpot at Xiangju Pavilion is pretty good. You have always liked it. How about going there?" he asked Luo Xiao.
"Okay, okay, let's go to Xiangju Pavilion. They have a double-boiled beef hotpot, which is just right for your appetite." Luo Xiao agreed happily.
The two reached a consensus and drove towards Xiangju Pavilion.
Yan Zhiyi was driving and Luo Xiao was in the passenger seat.
Suddenly, Luo Xiao seemed to remember something and wanted to reach for the backpack on the back seat.
Yan Zhiyi observed the surrounding environment and saw that it was time to wait for the red light. He stretched out his long arm and helped Luo Xiao get the backpack he just wanted to take.
"Thank you, Brother Yan. Your long arms are an advantage. I just remembered that there was yak jerky in my backpack. Cheng Chen gave it to me. He said that Lu Qing had someone send it to him, so he packed a big bag for me. I forgot to taste it before, but now I remember it. Brother Yan, let's try it together to see if it tastes good." After Luo Xiao said this, he took out the yak jerky from the backpack and tore open the packaging bag of the individually wrapped jerky.
"Come on, Brother Yan, try it first to see if it tastes good." Luo Xiao handed the opened package of yak jerky to Yan Zhiyi.
Coincidentally, the red light passed.
Because Yan Zhiyi was driving, it was not convenient for him to eat, so Luo Xiao subconsciously reached out to the driver's seat to feed him yak jerky, trying not to affect Yan Zhiyi's field of vision while driving.
Yan Zhiyi skillfully opened his mouth and ate the yak jerky that was fed to him.
The corners of his mouth turned up, looking very happy.
The car drove steadily towards the Xiangjuge Hotpot Restaurant.
We soon arrived at our destination.
The two were taken to the box by the manager who had been waiting for them.
Luo Xiao enjoyed the steaming hot pot very much. His lips turned red from the spiciness, which made Yan Zhiyi's eyes darken.
He didn't dare reveal his emotions, and his face remained expressionless as he helped Luo Xiao blanch the dishes meticulously.
"Brother Yan, don't just worry about me, you eat too, you eat too." Luo Xiao picked up a piece of beef, put it in the non-spicy pot, boiled it, and put it in Yan Zhiyi's bowl.
"Thank you, Xiaoxiao. Please eat quickly." Yan Zhiyi put another shelled boiled shrimp in his bowl.
"Brother Yan, there's no need to peel shrimps for me. I can hardly eat any more." Luo Xiao waved his hand, indicating that he had had enough.
Yan Zhiyi didn't want to spoil his fun. After hearing him say that it was enough, he didn't persuade him to eat more.
There was no saying between the two of them that they should not talk while eating or sleeping, so they occasionally chatted about other topics while eating the hot pot.
【Knock, knock, knock...】
There was a knock on the box door.
Luo Xiao was interrupted by the knock on the door and was about to say something, and he couldn't remember what he was saying for a moment.
The door was quickly opened.
There was a flash of displeasure in Yan Zhiyi's eyes. He had clearly told him not to disturb him without his instructions.
Finally, someone came.
After seeing who was coming, Luo Xiao was confused and Yan Zhiyi had a cold expression.
"Brother Yan, I came here to eat hotpot and heard that you were coming too, so I came over to say hello." Her voice came in before she even came in.
