When Lu Jinghuai rushed to the parking lot downstairs, Lin Yan was watching a TV series. When she heard the sound of the car door opening, she was stunned for a moment and turned her head to look over.
"Weren't you still in a meeting? It's over so soon."
"Well, if it's nothing important, let them think about it before coming over." Lu Jinghuai said casually and was about to get in the car but was stopped by Lin Yan.
"You go drive ahead. When I came here just now, the driver was on the phone with his wife, saying that his daughter had a fever. I thought it was cold today and we would be out very late after dinner, so I gave him a day off."
Lu Jinghuai said "hmm", closed the car door and got into the driver's seat.
"Which hot pot restaurant do you want to eat?"
Lin Yan reported the name of a restaurant: "Miaomiao recommended it. She said the hot pot here is delicious. It's a good opportunity for us to try it."
Lu Jinghuai naturally would not object and started the car.
It rained all morning today. Cars were running on the road all the time. There was no ice or snow, but the green plants on both sides of the road were covered with a layer of white snow.
It was white and looked very beautiful. Lin Yan took out her cell phone and took a picture of the outside.
"We were supposed to go play in the snow today, but we didn't. The snow should be almost melted by tomorrow, right?"
Lu Jinghuai looked straight ahead but didn't ignore Lin Yan's question: "It's not almost melted yet, is it? If you want to play, tell Uncle Chen not to sweep the snow in the yard yet. You should still be able to play tomorrow when you get off work."
Lin Yan thought about it and refused: "Forget it, if the snow in the yard is not swept, it will be inconvenient to walk. It snows a lot in North City, and it will probably snow again soon."
Lu Jinghuai did not deny it.
It was a snowy day. Although the ground was not frozen and there was no snow, it was still wet. The car was not driving fast and it took about 30 minutes to reach the destination.
It was just getting dark outside when the neon sign of the hot pot restaurant came on.
There are quite a lot of people eating hotpot in this weather. The private rooms in the hall are full, and many people are queuing in the tea room in the compartment.
Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan also decided to come at the last minute, so they didn't prepare anything and just took a number and lined up obediently.
The service in the store is also good, and sunflower seeds, snacks and tea are prepared in the waiting area.
Lin Yan looked at the number plate again. There were only three tables in front, so it was not difficult to queue up.
However, the aroma of the hot pot kept wafting out of the restaurant, and Lin Yan was indeed a little hungry, so she ate a lot of snacks.
While cracking melon seeds, I suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Brother Huo, I have to go back early tonight, otherwise..."
Lin Yan felt something was wrong and subconsciously looked up. Lu Yingqian on the other side also saw Lin Yan and Lu Jinghuai here, and she stopped talking and froze in place.
What kind of luck is this? She helped Lu Yingqian to lure Lu Jinghuai out, but she actually ran into him in a hot pot restaurant. It was really bad luck.
But it’s actually not a bad thing. Liang Huoren knows each other well, and the two of them are in love, and they are a good match.
It was a good opportunity to say that I couldn't keep going like this, pretending to be confused and hiding things on purpose.
Lin Yan thought about it and secretly glanced at Lu Jinghuai beside her. Lu Jinghuai's face was obviously not very good, but in this situation...
It's normal to look unhappy when you happen to run into your sister dating another man when you go out on a date.
Lin Yan was thinking about what to say to break the silent atmosphere when Lu Yingqian on the other side spoke first.
"Brother..." Lu Yingqian lowered her head and spoke in a weak voice, obviously feeling guilty.
Liang Huo beside her was particularly calm: "We have reserved a table in advance, so why don't we eat together?"
Lu Jinghuai uttered a "huh", and Lin Yan heard a sneer and disdain in it.
Lin Yan noticed Lu Yingqian's pleading look from the other side, and she immediately reacted and spoke with a smile.
"Sure, hotpot needs more people to enjoy the atmosphere."
Lin Yan nudged Lu Jinghuai with her elbow as she spoke, "There are a few people ahead of us. I thought we'd have to wait half an hour. I didn't eat much at noon and I'm really hungry."
Lu Jinghuai was interrupted by Lin Yan, and the displeasure on his face dissipated a little, but instead he looked at Lin Yan, who blinked her eyes with an especially innocent look.
"Go in first?"
Lu Jinghuai could only nod. The main reason was that it was not a good idea for them to stay deadlocked here. There were a lot of people here, and many of them were looking at them.
Liang Huo handed the reservation information to the waiter, and the waiter led the four people into the box.
After entering, the waiter served bowls, chopsticks and tea to the few people, and briefly reminded them to scan the code to order before leaving the private room.
Lin Yan seemed to ignore the weird atmosphere between the few people. She scanned the code and placed an order calmly. After ordering five or six dishes she wanted to eat, she handed her phone to Lu Yingqian beside her.
"Qianqian, I've already ordered what I want to eat. You can just order whatever you want."
"Okay." Lu Yingqian took it and ordered the food obediently. After hesitating for a moment, she handed the phone to Lu Jinghuai: "Brother, take a look at what you want to eat."
Lu Jinghuai took a look and added two dishes, then returned the phone to Lin Yan: "Almost done."
Lin Yan rolled her eyes at him and handed the phone to Liang Huo: "Mr. Huo, please see if there is anything you want to add."
Liang Huo didn't hesitate to take it and added a few dishes before returning it to Lin Yan. Lin Yan checked to see if there was anything missing and placed the order directly.
Hot pot does not require cooking, and the soup base is stewed in advance. As soon as Bai Gang placed the order, the soup base was brought over.
Then, plates of food filled the table. Lin Yan didn't care about anyone's little thoughts and started eating hot pot directly.
Winter is the time to eat hotpot. Eating hotpot will make you feel warm all over.
Lu Yingqian was still a little nervous, but when she saw Lu Jinghuai's expression returned to normal, she gradually relaxed and a smile appeared on her face.
After finishing the hotpot, the four of them left together. When they reached the door, their cars were not parked next to each other, and Lu Yingqian subconsciously wanted to follow Liang Huo.
Lu Jinghuai finally couldn't help it, and looked at Liang Huo with an extremely ugly expression.
"Not going back?" Lu Jinghuai looked at Lu Yingqian and asked. Lu Yingqian felt inexplicably panicked and subconsciously looked at Liang Huo. Then she immediately reacted and hurriedly jogged to catch up with Lu Jinghuai.
She smiled at Lu Jinghuai ingratiatingly: "Brother, let's go home."
Lu Jinghuai snorted coldly: "You still remember to go home."
Lu Yingqian panicked and looked at Lin Yan for help. Lin Yan was also a little helpless and tugged at the corner of Lu Jinghuai's clothes, implying that he should not go too far.
Lu Yingqian thought Lu Jinghuai didn't know that Liang Huo and she were in love, so how could Lin Yan not know? Lu Jinghuai clearly knew, but he was just pretending to be confused.
Liang Huo also frowned: "Don't scare Qianqian."
This successfully made Lu Jinghuai sneer again. He glanced at him again and went straight to the parking lot. Lu Yingqian no longer cared about her boyfriend and hurriedly jogged to catch up.
