Chapter 67 Who pays for the meal?
I watched her lower her eyes and stare at the dishes on the menu curiously.
It's normal that she hasn't seen it.
Shen Qingran was looking at how this was different from modern Western food.
At first glance, it turns out that after all these decades, the dishes are still the same old ones.
Appetizers include vegetable salad, cream of mushroom soup, snails, main dishes include steak, roast chicken, pasta, etc., as well as some desserts and drinks.
It seems that Chinese cuisine is profound and extensive.
When the meal was served, Huo Tingxiao's thin arms took the plate in front of her and used the knife and fork to elegantly cut the steak into small pieces.
Shen Qingran didn't argue. For her, who was trying Western food for the "first time", this was the most suitable way for her.
Huo Tingxiao glanced at Shen Qingran.
She lowered her eyes and ate in small bites, looking very polite while eating.
Put the food on the plate into your mouth little by little.
Eat very slowly.
My cheeks are swollen.
As she chewed, faint dimples appeared from time to time.
It's like a chubby little hamster with stuffed cheeks. It's so cute that you want to poke it gently to see if its fur will explode.
I don’t know if it was because she ate too deliciously, but Huo Tingxiao couldn’t help but eat a little more.
Two people with extremely high looks sat together to have a meal, but they didn't say a word. They just buried their heads in eating, which attracted many people around them to look at them sideways.
Some female comrades were also surprised that this beautiful female comrade ate so much.
You can't blame them for being surprised.
Most of the people who come here to eat are on dates.
Most lesbians are reserved, so they try to be as elegant and careful as possible when eating.
I'm afraid of giving the other person the impression that I'm greedy and rude.
Watching Shen Qingran eating, I felt a little envious. It turns out that it’s not that the food is ugly, but that good-looking people are pleasing to the eye no matter how they eat.
Not like them.
It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others.
Shen Qingran finished all the food, touched her stomach, smiled sweetly, and felt relieved.
It is indeed a blessing to have a full meal.
Seeing how relaxed and generous she was, Huo Tingxiao's eyes softened a lot.
After leaving Xiaoqingshan Village, she has really been getting better.
After the meal, Shen Qingran stood up and walked towards the cashier to pay the bill.
But she didn't expect that the cashier was looking at her with a smile.
"Comrade, your lover has already paid."
When Shen Qingran turned around, Huo Tingxiao had already gone out.
She followed him out of the store and saw Huo Tingxiao standing in front of the car.
He was handsome to begin with, with his long legs slightly bent as he leaned against the military green jeep.
The breeze blew, and the white shirt puffed up slightly. Accompanied by the neon lights at the entrance of the hotel, it had a unique flavor of elegance and grace.
Shen Qingran walked over quickly.
Her beautiful watery eyes stared at him, her fair and tender face slightly raised.
"Captain Huo, I promised to treat you, so take this money."
Huo Tingxiao glanced at her and said in a cold and hard voice, "You haven't been paid for work yet, so you don't need it."
Shen Qingran was unwilling at all and reached out to grab his forearm.
"Captain Huo, I agreed to pay."
As she spoke, her soft and innocent little hands grasped his broad palms and stuffed two big unity cards into his hands.
He turned around and ran towards the co-pilot seat.
"Captain Huo, let's go back."
Huo Tingxiao looked at the two big solidarities in his palms. The softness in his palms seemed to pass through his heart, making him feel itchy.
Clenched his fists.
Feeling the tenderness remaining on the forearm.
There was darkness beneath the half-closed eyes.
Turn around and open the car door.
Start the car and drive towards the military camp.
After early autumn, the sky darkens faster, and halfway through the journey, it is already completely dark.
The car was bumping on the road and Shen Qingran suddenly spoke.
"Captain Huo, I promised Dr. Qin that I would go look at a house tomorrow. I'm worried that I won't be able to come back in time. Can you write me a letter of introduction?"
Originally, the company could open it, but she didn't want to trouble Qin Xiangnan.
Although the last incident has been settled, we still need to keep our distance.
Listening to her words, Huo Tingxiao slightly tightened his fingertips gripping the steering wheel.
"Didn't you rent that house last time?"
The voice was so calm that it was impossible to tell his reaction.
Shen Qingran was surprised for a moment, and replied honestly, "That house is too expensive. I have to pay two years' rent at once, and I don't have that much money."
Listening to her calmly talking about her lack of money, Huo Tingxiao glanced at her.
The only sound in the vehicle was the sound of the car moving.
Huo Tingxiao pointed in a direction, his voice a little cold.
"If you want to rent a house, I can help you look for one."
Shen Qingran was stunned for a moment and instinctively wanted to refuse.
Then I saw his dark handsome face.
The voice lowered a little.
"If Captain Huo is busy, you can..."
"I have two days off after completing my mission."
Shen Qingran bit the soft flesh on her lip, thinking of some way to bother him less.
Huo Tingxiao's eyebrows and eyes were frosty.
"I promised your father that I would take care of you. When looking for a house, I have to consider a series of issues such as safety. Can you do that?"
Shen Qingran felt the sharpness in his tone.
He nodded silently, "Then I'll trouble you, Captain Huo. I'll thank you on behalf of my father."
He has always been a responsible person who keeps his promises. Compared with many gay men of this era who have various problems, he is rare.
Moreover, there is no safety protection in this era, and there are many second-rate people and old bachelors.
Living alone as a lesbian, you do need to pay attention to your safety.
When she returned home in the evening, Shen Qingran watched him go out again.
I was about to pack my things, but unexpectedly I saw twenty yuan under my bag on the dining table.
Shen Qingran rubbed his fingers.
——
The next day.
Huo Tingxiao found the apartment building with the address Shen Qingran gave him yesterday.
He stood quietly not far away, watching the people coming in and out of the apartment building.
After a long time, he walked towards the address she gave him.
"Boom boom boom."
I heard a sound coming from inside.
"Who is it? Here you are."
A minute later, an old man opened the door from the inside.
He looked at Huo Tingxiao with a strange expression.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?"
Huo Tingxiao looked at the old man and said in a cold voice, "Hello, I'm here to see the house."
The old man was stunned for a moment, "Oh my, comrade, I'm sorry, I promised my old friend's grandson to buy this house this afternoon, and he will bring his girlfriend to see it this afternoon."
Old friend's grandson? Object?
Huo Tingxiao's expression became increasingly stern, with deep anger in his eyes.
Veins bulged in his clenched fists.
Did Qin Xiangnan say this himself? Or did she acquiesce?
For a moment, bitterness spread from the tip of my heart.
Huo Tingxiao turned around and prepared to leave.
I saw a man and a woman walking up from downstairs, smiling.
Shen Qingran looked up at Huo Tingxiao who was staring down at her.
He smiled and said, "Captain Huo, you are here already?"
