Chapter 192 Are we almost at the point where we're going home together?
"Bang."
With a slight sound, Meng Bai sat in the passenger seat and closed the door.
"What's this?" Li Qin looked at the box in his hand curiously.
"A gift for you." Meng Bai handed over the gift box: "A friend is treating me, so I can't come empty-handed."
"Humph, you're really nice."
Li Qin chuckled and opened the box.
"What a cute rabbit." She took out the fluffy rabbit doll, held it in her arms and said in surprise.
After rubbing it in her hand for a while, she looked at Meng Bai again: "Did you buy it specially?"
"No, when we were having dinner last night, Huahua saw it and lined up to buy it. I happened to have nothing to do, so I bought one more."
Meng Bai said in a "pretending to be casual" tone.
Li Qin smiled. They were already queuing up, and they were still "by the way".
"Thank you."
"As long as you like it." Meng Bai pulled down the seat belt. "Didn't you say you would take me to taste the authentic 'Shanghai local cuisine'? Where should we eat?"
Li Qin seemed to remember something, and her face turned red: "You'll know when we get there."
The road conditions in Shanghai are still better than those in Beijing and North. There is not much traffic on the road. Of course, it may also be because it is not rush hour.
After driving for more than half an hour, the car plunged into the underground garage of an apartment building.
"We're here, get off." Li Qin said.
Meng Bai got out of the car and looked around.
"Girl, are you sure this is a place to eat? Why do I feel like this is a residential area?"
"Just follow me."
Meng Bai shrugged his shoulders, took the things obediently and followed her upstairs in the elevator.
The two stopped in front of an apartment door, and Li Qin stretched out her finger and skillfully entered the password. After a burst of mechanical electronic sound, the door opened.
"Come in." Li Qin said, and walked in first.
Meng Bai followed him into the house and closed the door behind him.
Li Qin in front of him seemed to be startled and couldn't help but look back at him a few times.
Looking around the house, it was an apartment full of fresh style. It wasn't very big, estimated to be about 70 or 80 square meters, but it was more than enough for one person.
On one side of the door was a half-wall-high shoe cabinet, which was filled with all kinds of shoes. Next to the shoe cabinet, there were two rows of empty express boxes.
This scene seemed a little familiar, Meng Bai recalled it, yes, Song Zhi's apartment was similar.
"What are you doing at the door?" Li Qin looked at him and said, "Come in, sit anywhere."
"Is this your home?"
Meng Bai changed into a pair of disposable slippers and asked as he entered the house.
"It's the apartment I rented."
"Well, so, are we going to go home together now?" Meng Bai chuckled, and then looked at Li Qin with a "serious" expression, "In that case, I'll go downstairs and get the suitcase up, there are some clothes to change and so on."
As he said that, he was ready to turn around and go downstairs.
"Wait, wait! What are you going to do with the suitcase?"
Li Qin hurriedly stopped Meng Bai: "Don't think too much, I just asked Jia Jia to order food delivery because you always said it was too troublesome to go out for dinner with me."
After that, she emphasized again: "It's just a simple meal, don't automatically associate some strange things."
"Strange things?" Meng Bai had an expression of "I'm still young and don't understand", "For example..."
"No for example! Anyway, don't think too much."
Li Qin shouted, and then hurriedly said: "Hurry up and wash your hands and come over. I asked Jia Jia to prepare it before I left. I don't know if the food is cold."
"Where is Jia Jia?"
"I went back."
"Wow, what a black-hearted boss!" Meng Bai said: "I asked her to prepare for a long time, but she didn't care about the food."
"Please, let her stay to do extra overtime."
Jia Jia, the little assistant, did a good job. Maybe she estimated the speed of their return and ordered the food at the right time, so the temperature was just right.
"Try it." Li Qin handed a pair of chopsticks to Meng Bai: "I specifically ordered the signature dishes."
Shrimp and black sea cucumber, braised fish, braised pork with fermented rice, braised spring onion, eel noodles...
The restaurant that Li Qin ordered was Dexing Restaurant in Yu Garden. Like the restaurant Meng Bai had accompanied Zhu Xudan to before, they were all time-honored brands in Shanghai.
Meng Bai tasted each dish one by one. To be honest, he didn't really like Shanghai cuisine. He always felt that it had no taste and was mostly sweet.
However, looking at the expectant eyes of the girl in front of him, he still said with a "surprised" tone: "Well, the original flavor is fresh, mellow and delicious. Teacher Li, you are good at ordering dishes."
Li Qin was immediately happy when she heard it. The dishes she had chosen after thinking for a long time were not in vain.
She breathed a sigh of relief and was finally in the mood to eat.
"By the way, I forgot to ask you. What's the matter with coming to Shanghai this time?"
"I have an investment project. Come over to talk about it." Meng Bai said.
Li Qin asked curiously, "A new TV series?"
"No, other commercial projects." Meng Bai said casually, "What are you doing recently?"
"Vacation." Li Qin said, "I was planning to take a break after "Soul Ferry 2" was broadcast, but I had to film "The Disguiser" temporarily, so I had to postpone my break."
"It turns out that I delayed Mr. Li's break." Meng Bai raised his glass, "Water instead of wine, thank you for your help."
Although it was a gathering of friends, Li Qin did not prepare any wine. I don't know if he thought it was not appropriate to drink during the day, or if he was worried about something else.
"The Disguiser is going to be broadcast, right?"
"Yes, it will be broadcast in August." Meng Bai said, "Didn't Noon Sunshine contact you to prepare for promotion?"
"Yes, the warm-up period will start next month, and many activities and programs have been set." Li Qin nodded, and then said, "I remember that Arc Light's new web series will be online soon, right?"
"Yes, in the middle of next month."
The launch time of "Forensic Qin Ming" is scheduled for mid-July, more than ten days earlier than "Grave Robbers' Chronicles".
The tactics are the same as the one used by Soul Ferry against Darker, to seize the initiative and reduce the popularity of the other party.
"I saw online that your forensic autopsies and other things this time were all shot in real time?"
Meng Bai almost spit out a mouthful of water: "No, girl, where did you see this outrageous news?"
"Ah, isn't it?" Li Qin blinked, "I saw it from the marketing account online."
Li Qin had also seen the news of the "oolong murder" before.
I was a little worried and wanted to ask Meng Bai for the details, but then I saw the rumor-refuting announcement and didn't bother him, resulting in the mess of the sources of the news I received.
"You are an insider, don't you know what these marketing accounts are doing?" Meng Bai said: "It's just that the props we made are more realistic."
"Oh, will it be scary?" Li Qin asked with a little expectation.
"How should I put it, it can't be considered scary, but it will be very'appetizing'."
"Appetizing?" Li Qin asked puzzled.
"Yes, it's a drama that goes well with meals." Meng Bai smiled, "You'll know when you see it."
Li Qin was skeptical. It was hard for her to imagine that a "forensic drama" would have anything to do with "meals".
The two chatted while eating, and it was mainly Li Qin who asked questions.
It had been several months since they had been together since the crew of "The Disguiser", and she had a lot of questions.
The meal took almost an hour to finish.
Meng Bai touched his stomach, which had no feeling of fullness. If he hadn't taken the basic forensic class, he would have suspected that the food had been digested.
The lunch boxes were all brought by the order, so they could be thrown away directly. You just need to wash the tableware.
"You go out and have a rest, I'll clean it up." Li Qin pushed Meng Bai out of the kitchen.
There were only two plates and two pairs of chopsticks in total, so Meng Bai didn't make a fuss and went back to the living room.
Looking at the furnishings in the room, his eyes were attracted by a large clay sand table placed in the middle of the living room.
"What is this?"
Meng Bai asked, raising his hand and poking it. Well, it feels a bit like plasticine.
"What?"
Li Qin poked her head out of the small kitchen and took a look. She said a little embarrassedly, "I was surfing the Internet recently and saw that they had this interesting clay sculpture plate, so I bought one too."
Oops, I forgot to put it away.
This thing looks a bit childish, which ruins my "mature and cool" personality.
