Huo Qinian was nervous, but Su Yunbai was not.

She was not easy to fool. Almost as soon as Huo Qinian finished speaking, she exposed him bluntly: "Do you take me for a fool?"

What kind of passing through can pass through from China to the United States?

Huo Qinian cleared his throat, "Well, I came here on a business trip, passing through on a business trip..."

He finally remembered the point and handed the things in his hand forward, "Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, I came to give you some moon cakes on the way."

Su Yunbai looked at the gift box in front of her and was stunned.

She had good eyesight and saw a big round "Liu" character designed like a window paper-cut in the lower left corner of the gift box. She had only seen this kind of pattern on the packaging of the "Liu Family Old Cake" on Huanshan Road in City A. It was the only one that sold it these years.

So, was this the mooncake Huo Qinian brought from City A?

Huo Qinian saw Su Yunbai's eyes fall on the packaging, knowing that she recognized the mooncakes, and couldn't help explaining: "I found out later that you don't have a special liking for the cakes of 'Liu Family Old Cakes'. It's my aunt who likes them, so you always buy them.

"Although you may not like them very much, you are in a foreign country, and Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of your hometown, so I will just bring you some specialties from home..."

Su Yunbai finally came to her senses.

She is a person who knows what is good and what is bad.

A domestic flight to the United States takes at least ten hours, and it is very troublesome to carry such a square gift box that takes up a lot of space.

In addition, food like mooncakes is particularly sensitive when entering the country. If the fillings contain meat or seeds, The customs may have to conduct a strict inspection...

The effort required to send this box of mooncakes far exceeds the value of the mooncakes themselves.

As a shrewd businessman as Huo Qinian, has he not calculated the relationship between the effort and value involved?

Doesn't he find it troublesome?

If he has the time, wouldn't it be more convenient to just buy a box at any Chinese supermarket after entering the country?

Su Yunbai thought so and asked so.

Huo Qinian's expression froze.

At this moment, he didn't even know whether he should thank Su Yunbai for her sharpness - she could see the feelings behind this box of mooncakes at a glance, or whether he should be troubled by her lack of understanding of romance. He

was silent for a moment, and said: "Yunbai, any inequality in the value scale in this world can be explained by emotion. "

Su Yunbai subconsciously showed a little vigilance.

So, this is a box of mooncakes and he asked her to pay the difference with the so-called feelings?

He is indeed a shrewd businessman Huo Qinian. As

soon as Huo Qinian saw her expression, he knew that she was not thinking about him in her heart again.

Blame himself for his criminal record... Huo Qinian smiled bitterly in his heart, "What I mean is, money can't buy my willingness. I'm happy, then it's worth it."

As he said, he took Su Yunbai's hand and forcefully hooked the bag of the gift box on her finger, "Yunbai, I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival in advance. "

After giving the gift, Huo Qinian looked at Su Yunbai deeply, turned around and left without any hesitation.

Needless to say, this kind of crisp and neat posture was really beyond Su Yunbai's expectations.

She really felt guilty for a few seconds - was she really too unkind?

But Huo Qinian was good at taking advantage of others, so it was better to keep a certain distance.

Su Yunbai turned around and left Huo Qinian behind.

She was worried about the mooncake for a while, and began to look at the time on the calendar.

The time in different regions of the United States is not unified. There are four time zones in the continental United States alone, and there is a time difference between them. That is why people living in the United States People in different regions of the country have different time differences with the mainland. But generally speaking, the United States is more than twelve hours behind the mainland.

Mid-Autumn Festival is a domestic holiday. If you celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival according to the domestic time...it will actually be Monday afternoon.

Su Yunbai originally did not plan to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival. There is a Chinese supermarket near R University, and there are Chinese restaurants in this city. In fact, you can buy moon cakes, although they are much more expensive than moon cakes in China - after all, you spend money in US dollars. But Mid-Autumn Festival is not just about eating moon cakes. Without that atmosphere, it would be meaningless to just barely celebrate it.

But now it is different. We already have moon cakes. How about celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival?

Su Yunbai still had to attend a class on Monday afternoon, and it was already past three in the afternoon when she got home.

In their group, Xu Jinzhi, Xu Shiyuan and Lawyer Yuan all sent messages to wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival as soon as it was past midnight in China, and Su Yunbai naturally joined in the fun.

But the annoying thing about the time difference between China and abroad is that when it is daytime for Su Yunbai, it is night in China. At this moment, she was thinking about how to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, but everyone in the group, unless they were night owls, was asleep at the moment.

There was not even anyone to chat with her.

Su Yunbai suddenly felt that this Mid-Autumn Festival was a little boring.

But life, after all, must have Something ceremonial.

Su Yunbai opened the refrigerator, thinking about how to prepare dinner for herself, when there was a knock on the door.

There was a doorbell installed in the corridor, and each doorbell was at the bottom of their own box. But except for the courier and the property, it seemed that visitors didn't like to ring the doorbell.

Su Yunbai always thought that this was a visitor from the neighbor. After waiting for a while, she found that the knock on the door continued.

She had a very strange premonition in her heart... No way?

Su Yunbai really saw Huo Qinian again through the cat's eyes.

He hasn't left yet?

How many days will this business trip be?

Su Yunbai opened the door and looked at Huo Qinian scrutinizingly.

Huo Qinian was carrying large and small bags in his hands, "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! "His expression was as natural as if they were old friends for many years. "It's fate to meet in a foreign country. Why don't we celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival together? I just bought some things..."

Su Yunbai stood by the door, folding his arms and looking at him.

Huo Qinian was like a salesman, "I bought some lobster, steak, pork belly, and the best scallops..."

To be honest, this scene was a little beyond Su Yunbai's imagination.

Huo Qinian's enthusiastic style of carrying large and small bags in his hands, as if visiting relatives, was unusual enough. At this moment, he suddenly mentioned various ingredients as if he was reading the menu...

With a face like Huo Qinian and such an aura... His image is not only not disillusioned, but even more unpretentious, just like a big boss who comes to comfort the poor people.

As the person being "comforted", Su Yunbai instinctively feels that he is a bit annoying.

She said with a smile: "So many ingredients, can you cook?"

Huo Qinian's eyes lit up, and he almost stood up straighter so that Su Yunbai could see the "strong man" light shining on him from all directions and without blind spots.

He was decisive and said confidently: "I can!"

The sentence "I can" earned Huo Qinian the qualification to enter Su Yunbai's house.

Su Yunbai folded his hands on his chest, half leaning against the door, watching Huo Qinian busy with his work with a joking attitude.

Others don't know, but doesn't she understand? Huo Qi-nian is so old, he never tires of eating fine food, and he can talk about it clearly if you ask him to introduce some delicious food. He may even know what the essence of cooking is, but she doesn't believe that he can really cook it.

The proportion of people who study abroad who can cook is relatively high. After all, foreign food is really unpalatable, so they have to cook it themselves. But that is for most people.

Huo Qinian's conditions when he was studying abroad were not bad. It is said that he also had a dedicated bodyguard and nanny... He didn't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, so where did he have the time to practice cooking?

Huo Qinian discussed with Su Yunbai seriously: "Let's eat seafood fresh, so I'll make seafood today?"

Su Yunbai did not comment.

Huo Qinian turned around to deal with the ingredients, his nerves tense.

Fortunately, he was used to having two plans, and fortunately he used some tricks when preparing these ingredients, otherwise he would have made a big fool of himself today.

Su Yunbai did not underestimate Huo Qinian, he really can't cook. He has never cooked by himself, how could he cook?

But now it's different, he has practiced it in the past two days!

Of course, you can't become fat in one bite, so he can only do the simplest ones. For example, steam a lobster and fry a scallop.

Huo Qinian took out the bag of lobsters and released the lobsters with both clamps sealed, and its tentacles were still trembling up and down.

Obviously, the two lobsters are still alive.

Su Yunbai didn't look away for a long time.

Few people know that she actually doesn't like living shrimps or crabs. She always thinks they look particularly ugly. She's not afraid, but just a little insensitive.

Huo Qinian laid out the ingredients, and suddenly turned back to ask Su Yunbai: "Do you have a steamer at home?"

Su Yunbai shook her head, "No."

How long has she moved here? She's busy adapting to the new environment, busy with classes, busy with scientific research... She doesn't spend much time on eating. Even the tableware in the kitchen is only the most basic style. How could she have a steamer?

But if you want to steam lobsters, you don't really need a steamer, right? Can you build one yourself?

She does have a bigger pot at home.

Although Su Yunbai thought so, she really wanted to see Huo Qinian laugh, so how could she help?

She wanted to see how Huo Qinian would solve the problem.

After a brief hesitation, Huo Qinian quickly relaxed his brows: "Then wait for me, I'll go out and buy one."

After saying that, he really went out. Before leaving, he solemnly told Su Yunbai: "Leave the door open for me, I'll be back soon."

Su Yunbai was stunned.

Go buy one? Although this place is not far from the supermarket, it is not far, and it will take ten minutes to drive there. He suddenly wants to buy a steamer?

Is there any trick?

After Huo Qinian left, the two lobsters on the countertop swayed their tentacles up and down, facing Su Yunbai across most of the kitchen.

Su Yunbai didn't want to look at them, but her eyes couldn't help but move towards them. As she looked at them, goose bumps appeared on her arms.

The two lobsters seemed to be quite strong, crawling slowly on the countertop, and were about to crawl out of the edge of the counter.

Su Yunbai's scalp tingled - could Huo Qinian be more reliable?

She cursed Huo Qinian to death in her heart, but she could only frown and pick up a pair of chopsticks to approach the two lobsters.

She really wasn't afraid. How could a living person be afraid of two lobsters? She just felt uncomfortable watching them.

Su Yunbai took the chopsticks and pushed the lobsters towards the sink. After pushing the first one and struggling with the second one, the door clicked and Huo Qinian came back.

Su Yunbai subconsciously dropped the chopsticks in her hand.

The apartment she rented was not large, with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. The open kitchen could be seen as soon as she entered the door. So when Huo Qinian entered the room, he saw her movements.

She was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. She forced a calm face...

Huo Qinian was stunned for a long time.

He felt that he was really hopeless. Why did he feel his heartbeat getting out of control again when he saw Su Yunbai like this?

How could she be so cute!

Huo Qinian cleared his throat and suppressed the smile on his face, not daring to show the slightest "disrespect" on his face, "Let me do it. This thing looks rather ugly..."

After finally steaming the lobsters in the pot, Huo Qinian was going to deal with the scallops.

He started to have trouble again: "Do you have garlic at home?"

Su Yunbai said without any guilt: "No."

Her taste has always been light, and garlic is not used much. She hardly worked at home in the past week, so how could there be garlic?

Huo Qinian took a deep look at Su Yunbai.

It was obvious that she didn't eat well.

But now was obviously not the time to discuss this.

He said, "Wait a moment, I'm going to go out for a while."

Su Yunbai looked at Huo Qinian who left in a hurry and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Something was not right...

Two minutes later, Huo Qinian hurried back.

After entering the door, he was met with Su Yunbai who looked at him with a scrutinizing look.

Su Yunbai said, "Mr. Huo, is there a new supermarket nearby? It only takes two minutes to go there? How come I didn't know?"

Huo Qinian's expression froze.

Although he hadn't thought of keeping it a secret from her for a long time, and although he hadn't thought of covering it up...but wasn't this too hard to fool her?

Huo Qinian touched his nose, "Well, I didn't go to the supermarket. I actually borrowed these from someone."

"Who did you borrow from?" Su Yunbai said with a half-smile, "Mr. Huo is quite capable. He has only been here for a short time, but he already has acquaintances here?"

Huo Qinian looked at her for a long time, gave up lying, "Borrow from me." He sighed softly, "Yunbai, I actually live downstairs from you."

Su Yunbai was stunned.
