Han Yuze took them to a nearby Hunan restaurant that had been open for more than ten years. After entering the private room, Han Yuze handed the menu to Xia Yunyun and Su Yinyin.
"You guys order."
Su Yinyin had just finished explaining the situation to Liu Yue. She put down her phone and looked at the menu, which was almost entirely red.
"I haven't tried Hunan cuisine much, do you have any recommendations?"
“Looks so hot…”
Xia Yunyun also added.
"It only looks spicy, but it tastes delicious. If you're not used to spicy food, the stir-fried beef and crab vermicelli are both okay."
Su Yinyin can eat spicy food, but I don’t know about other people.
"Yunyun, can you eat spicy food?"
Xia Yunyun nodded: "I can give it a try."
Su Yinyin propped her head with a pen, thinking about something. After thinking for a while, she circled the menu a few times.
"Farmer's Stir-fried Pork, Fish Head with Chopped Peppers... I've ordered, you guys take your pick."
"Then I'll order some spicy chicken and some seasonal vegetables."
Han Yuze said he could eat anything and didn't order any dishes, while Lu Jingxu maintained his usual aloof and cold attitude.
The dishes were served. Although they were a bit spicy, after all, this was a Hunan restaurant that had been opened in another place for ten years, so the spiciness was not to the point of being unbearable.
She ordered a glass of milk to relieve the spiciness, and found that the person opposite her was eating without blinking or beating his heart, as calm as if he was a native of Hunan Province.
"I think Mr. Lu studied for his master's degree in France. I didn't expect he can handle spicy food so well."
Xia Yunyun couldn't help but sigh.
Han Yuze was used to eating spicy food and didn't drink much water, but he was still a little surprised: "Brother Lu, you are quite talented in eating spicy food."
Lu Jingxu glanced at the table full of red food, his eyes tinged with subtle resentment.
"Do you see any non-spicy dishes on the table?"
Although these words were spoken to Han Yuze, Su Yinyin always had the illusion that he was staring at her while talking.
Looking up, he saw his dark eyes looking straight at him.
Su Yinyin quickly lowered her head and took another bite of food: I don’t know how I offended him again.
After taking two bites, I suddenly realized that I didn't even ask for his opinion when I ordered the food...
But judging by his appearance, he probably isn't afraid of spicy food.
should……?
After finishing eating, Han Yuze suggested that the four of them take a group photo together. He raised his phone and made a "yeah" gesture, and Su Yinyin also grinned at the camera.
Xia Yunyun sat quietly by the side, smiling. In contrast, Lu Jingxu felt depressed after eating, as if something was wrong.
Han Yuze and Xia Yunyun's assistants drove over to pick them up, but Lu Jingxu waited in the box for a while on the pretext that his assistant had not come.
Now only Lu Jingxu and Su Yinyin were left in the box looking at each other. She just felt numb and tingling all over her body with goose bumps when she was with this Arctic man.
The phone rang, and Liu Yue finally arrived downstairs at the restaurant and asked her to come down.
She stood up with her bag and prepared to leave, when she suddenly saw Lu Jingxu sitting there alone, looking very lonely. So she said something subconsciously, not knowing whether it was a brain accident.
"Do you want to come with me?"
…
There was silence for a few seconds. Just when Su Yinyin thought he was going to refuse, he actually stood up and followed her.
Even with a hat and a mask on, his height of 189cm and figure, even covered by a sweatshirt, would still attract attention.
Su Yinyin instantly felt that she was being stared at by more than ten pairs of eyes, so she had to lower the brim of her hat, bend over and walk forward quickly.
"Su Yinyin."
Lu Jingxu behind him suddenly spoke.
Su Yinyin turned around in confusion, not knowing if she had seen it wrong. There seemed to be a hint of embarrassment in Lu Jingxu's eyes just now.
"What's wrong?"
He said something in a very low voice, but Su Yinyin couldn't hear clearly because of the mask.
"I didn't hear clearly."
Lu Jingxu hesitated for two seconds, then finally bent down and spoke in her ear.
"Get me a bottle of water."
Su Yinyin looked up and down at Lu Jingxu in disbelief, as he was unusually shy. She always felt that this man was lacking some social experience. He even had to ask the waiter to get a bottle of water himself.
But she didn't ask any more questions. She walked to the front desk, scanned the code, bought a bottle of water, and handed it to Lu Jingxu.
He paused for two seconds holding the water, then said thank you.
Liu Yue was standing downstairs waiting. When he saw the person following Su Yinyin, he was almost scared and quickly pulled Su Yinyin aside.
"Ancestor, you just do what you want."
"Oh, it's okay. I just stopped by. Besides, there's no one around here."
Liu Yue sighed, but it was not easy to refuse. He went up and greeted Lu Jingxu respectfully, then looked around to make sure no one was looking in his direction before getting in the car and closing the door.
Lu Jingxu took off his mask. The new assistant Zhao Xiaoxiao was already surprised to see a strange man get into the car, and now she was stunned.
His mouth was open so wide that it almost reached the ground, and he had obviously lost control of his facial expression. Although he didn't scream, the sound of his deep breath was quite loud.
Seeing this, Liu Yue hurried over and whispered something in her ear. Zhao Xiaoxiao just nodded hesitantly, her eyes still in a daze.
Lu Jingxu sat next to him and drank a bottle of water in two gulps.
Su Yinyin thought of something and turned to look at him.
"You can't handle spicy food, right?"
He was just trying to be tough, refusing even to drink his saliva, making everyone think he was not afraid of spicy food.
