Chapter 94 Worry
"Are you awake? Go wash your face, it's time for dinner." Huo Xilin said to her in a gentle tone.
Xu Qingsui couldn't help but walk up to him, hugged his thin waist from behind, and asked, "What are you eating? It smells so good."
She tilted her head and looked into the pot. It was braised pork ribs. Just looking at the bright red color made her swallow her saliva.
"It will be ready soon, go and get ready." Huo Xilin urged.
"Okay!" Xu Qingsui woke up completely, turned around and went to the bathroom, washed up simply. When he came out, Huo Xilin had already prepared the dishes and chopsticks, with a dish and a soup on the table.
"Just eat something for now, we'll go out for a nice meal tonight." Huo Xilin served Xu Qingsui a bowl of tofu and fish soup and placed it in front of her.
Xu Qingsui quickly took a sip. The soup was as white as milk, with a strong fresh flavor and no fishy smell at all.
"It's delicious! Can you cook all kinds of dishes?" Xu Qingsui couldn't help asking.
"You can tell me what you want to eat later. Even if you don't know how, I can learn it." Huo Xilin said to Xu Qingsui with a smile.
Xu Qingsui didn't know what to feel for a moment. He was Huo Xilin, a fixture on the global rich list, but he said he was willing to learn how to cook the dishes she wanted to eat.
"I like to eat whatever you cook." Xu Qingsui said, "Actually, my cooking skills are pretty good. I can cook for you when you are busy in the future."
"Okay." Huo Xilin was not polite at all: "Then when we get back, you can cook a meal for me. I haven't tasted your cooking yet."
Xu Qingsui nodded repeatedly, and Huo Xilin served her a bowl of rice: "Eat quickly."
The braised spareribs were also very delicious. Xu Qingsui ate two large bowls of rice with the soup and was finally full.
I glanced at the time and it was almost evening, so it was obviously impossible to go into the mountains today.
"I've already talked to Xu Wanshan. We'll go there early tomorrow morning." Knowing what Xu Qingsui was thinking, Huo Xilin had already dealt with all her worries in advance.
At this moment, Xu Qingsui felt that he was not his assistant, but he was her assistant.
She said with emotion: "Thank you."
Huo Xilin glanced at Xu Qingsui from head to toe, and then said maliciously: "Are you sure you want to thank me?"
Xu Qingsui: “…”
She suddenly remembered the consequences of thanking Huo Xilin every time before, and shuddered instantly. She quickly smiled and said, "No thanks, no thanks. I should do anything you do for me."
Xu Qingsui's submissive look finally put Huo Xilin in a good mood. After dinner, he suggested taking her out for a walk.
"The most lively time in the mountain city is not during the day, but at night. It's not easy for you to come here, so I'll take you to see it." Huo Xilin took some personal belongings and led Xu Qingsui out.
At this time, the lights are just coming on, the roads are busy with cars, and the streets that are quiet during the day are now bustling with people coming and going.
The mountain city is a city with a strong sense of fireworks. People from all walks of life can get along harmoniously here. You can drink tea elegantly in a teahouse, or drink beer and eat barbecue at a roadside stall.
This worldly atmosphere actually seemed a little out of place for Huo Xilin, but he didn't mind at all.
He took her to a snack street and asked her, "What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you."
Xu Qingsui was a little awkward at first, but after a while he completely integrated into the atmosphere and stopped being polite. He dragged Huo Xilin to eat from beginning to end, holding lemon tea in his left hand and roast duck, teppanyaki, and lemon chicken feet in his right hand...
That night, Xu Qingsui was very relaxed and happy, but even though she was happy, she always felt that this feeling was familiar. However, when she thought about it carefully, her mind was blank again.
The two of them carried a full bag of food and sat down by a deserted river. While eating, Xu Qingsui tilted his head to look at Huo Xilin and asked, "Boss Huo, don't you want to eat?"
Huo Xilin picked up a skewer of grilled squid, feeling a little embarrassed.
Xu Qingsui couldn't help laughing and said, "People of your status usually eat and party in high-end restaurants and star-rated hotels, or at least in private kitchens. I'm curious, why did you bring me to the night market?"
Huo Xilin was silent for a while, then said dryly, "I thought you would like it."
Xu Qingsui really likes it. She is not burdened by her status. She couldn’t live as she wanted before because of the livelihood. Now she is free of pressure and it seems that she can finally indulge herself.
"So you just want to accompany me?" Xu Qingsui asked.
"I guess so." Huo Xilin looked at the flowing water of the stream, his eyes dark and deep, as if he was recalling something.
Xu Qingsui often felt that he seemed to be worried about something, but it was not convenient for her to know about it.
Before their relationship was made clear, she only thought of Huo Xilin as her boss and she didn't want to interfere in his private affairs.
But now that their relationship has been made clear, Xu Qingsui is very curious about what he is thinking, so she hesitated for a moment and asked presumptuously: "Can you tell me what you are thinking about?"
Huo Xilin suddenly came back to his senses and met Xu Qingsui's clear gaze. His eyes became visibly flustered.
"Nothing, I'm just thinking about work." Huo Xilin made up an excuse to perfunctorily answer her.
Xu Qingsui was not a fool, so how could she not see that he didn't want to tell her?
I felt a little depressed, and the food in my hands no longer tasted good.
She suddenly felt that falling in love was really a troublesome thing, and Xu Qingsui really disliked this feeling of worrying about gains and losses.
But she had no choice, and the two returned to the hotel with heavy hearts. Early the next morning, Xu Qingsui went to the mountains and followed Xu Wanshan to concentrate on learning how to restore cultural relics.
In a blink of an eye, a week's business trip passed quickly.
Before leaving, Xu Wanshan handed a restoration notebook he had summarized over the years to Xu Qingsui: "This is my experience summarized over the years. You can take a look. If there is anything unreasonable, you are welcome to point it out to me. We can learn from each other. I hope there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future to make progress together. You are very talented. No matter what the reason, I hope you will not give up."
Xu Qingsui took the notebook, knowing how precious it was, and how much Xu Wanshan valued him: "Brother Xu, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations. No matter what happens in the future, I will keep doing this."
After saying goodbye to Xu Wanshan and talking to Zhang Maocai, Xu Qingsui left reluctantly.
Before leaving, Huo Xilin asked her what she meant: "Do you want to stay? If you want to stay, then stay. I will come back to pick you up after I finish my work."
