Chapter 15: I love eating
The whole class counted down together, "Ten, nine, eight, three, two, one."
“Charge!”
The boy who had put on his backpack in advance ran the fastest. He stopped at the door and moved to the side.
"Teacher, you go first."
The Chinese teacher smiled and said, "Thank you."
Xu Yucheng was not in a hurry and remained seated, waiting for the others to leave before leaving.
"Bye Orange, see you next month!"
"See you next month."
Perhaps vacation is what every student longs for the most. In a short while, there were only a few people left in the classroom.
Only then did she walk towards the door with her schoolbag on her back.
When I walked to the first row, I heard someone say "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival".
Then Lu Ran, who was originally sitting in his seat, stood up.
Xu Yucheng paused, mouth slightly opened, "Okay."
Good? Lu Ran didn't expect her to say that. He wanted to call her, but she had already walked out of the classroom. He could only smile helplessly and shake his head.
The teaching building was empty in an instant. Xu Yucheng walked towards the stairs, and before turning the corner, she heard a familiar voice.
She turned around and saw Zhou Yichen walking towards her.
"I thought you were at the school gate." He always waited at the gate before.
Zhou Yichen walked over and took her schoolbag. "I just happened to have something to do in the Grade 1 teaching building, so I came here."
"oh."
The two did not return to the apartment, but went directly back to Nanyuan Villa.
The next day is Mid-Autumn Festival.
Xu Yucheng had just finished a video call with her parents when there was a knock on the door of her room.
A voice came from outside the door, "Orange."
She put on her slippers and went to open the door.
Zhou Yichen flicked her head lightly with his finger. "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. Why are you staying in your room and not coming downstairs?"
"Ouch," she covered the place where he hit her with both hands. It didn't hurt at all, but she suddenly wanted to tease him and said in a tone of feigned grievance, "Zhou Yichen, you hit me again, it hurts."
He looked at her with a smile on his face. He knew how hard he had hit her, so he cooperated with her, bent down slightly, and said in a low voice, "I was wrong."
Xu Yucheng felt as if her chest was hit, and her heart was beating very fast.
Her cheeks felt a little hot, so she found an excuse to move away and ran very fast with small steps.
Zhou Yichen, who was standing there, looked at her figure and chuckled.
Downstairs, Xu Yucheng couldn't see Father Zhou and Mother Wen anywhere. She was puzzled when someone coming downstairs explained, "They left first. They said they had booked a restaurant for us to eat at later."
She nodded.
"I asked someone to send your favorite mooncake." He took the mooncake from the table and handed it to her.
Xu Yucheng didn’t like mooncakes before, but after she ate the salted egg yolk lava mooncakes he brought back one time, she fell in love with them.
A bright smile appeared on her face, her eyes curved, and she took it and put it into her mouth.
Zhou Yichen looked at her like this, with a doting look on his face.
"Don't eat too much, or you won't be able to eat later," he reminded.
"Hmmmm."
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when the two arrived at the restaurant.
A waiter came to lead the way and we took the elevator upstairs.
After entering the private room, Xu Yucheng realized that no one was inside and asked, "Dad Zhou and the others haven't arrived yet?"
Waiter Ying immediately explained, "Mr. Zhou has arrived and is in the private room upstairs."
"Um?"
Zhou Yichen raised his eyebrows, sat down on the chair, and explained in a gentle voice, "They don't want us to disturb them."
Waiter Ying nodded, "Mr. Zhou has already ordered the dishes for you."
After saying that, he walked out.
Xu Yucheng sat next to him, "It's just the two of us."
"Yeah." He tilted his head and said lazily, "Aren't we two pretty good?"
If his parents were here, I wonder how much dog food he would eat.
She turned to face him, tilting her head, "Do you want to eat?"
Zhou Yichen saw that there was something else behind her words and did not respond.
"I don't really feel like eating Western food." He must have eaten too many mooncakes at home. "I want something spicy."
He stood up.
Before Xu Yucheng could even wait for his answer, she asked, "Where are you going?"
"Take you to eat spicy food."
At this time, a waiter just brought the meal over.
Zhou Yichen glanced at it and said, "Send these upstairs."
When Xu Yucheng passed by the waitress, she smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry to bother you, sister."
After saying that, he quickly caught up with the person in front.
"Zhou Yichen, slow down."
The pace of the person in front obviously slowed down.
She muttered, "Why are you running so fast!"
"I didn't run away." He stopped and looked at her legs, the corners of his lips deepening.
Xu Yucheng followed his gaze and looked down. She understood something and a look of displeasure appeared on her face.
She walked away, leaving him with only her back. "Your legs are so long!"
He strode forward and chuckled, "No matter how long your legs are, you have to wait for a kid to catch up before you can walk."
She turned her head away and ignored him, deliberately quickening her pace.
Only the earlobes gradually turned pink.
Zhou Yichen laughed muffledly and followed her.
They came to a hot pot restaurant, and there were quite a lot of people. Xu Yucheng looked at the red spicy hot pot on every table and swallowed her saliva. She also wanted to eat it.
Sitting by the window, when ordering, Xu Yucheng didn't want the shabu-shabu hotpot, but ordered the red soup. She also ordered a lot of her favorite dishes before handing the menu to the person opposite her, "Do you want anything else?"
Zhou Yichen took it, took a look at it, and added a dessert and sour plum soup before giving it to the boss standing in front of the table and saying, "Slightly spicy."
The boss happily took it and started to promote it, "Would you like to try our specialty, the coated tofu?"
"No!" she refused.
After the boss left, Zhou Yichen looked at the person opposite him. He knew that she couldn't resist delicious food, so he asked, "I think the tofu here is good, why don't you try it?"
Xu Yucheng shook her head. "Aren't you allergic to soy products? If you want it, you have to cook it in the pot. That way you will definitely eat it."
His dark eyes sparkled as he slowly replied, "Okay, then we don't want it."
The dishes arrived quickly and filled the table.
The red soup in the pot slowly rolled, and an enticing aroma wafted up.
"Which one do you want to eat?"
She pointed to a plate of corned beef.
The fire was high and the meat in the pot was cooked quickly.
He put several pieces of meat on her plate and added some vegetables.
Xu Yucheng couldn't wait to stuff the first piece of meat into her mouth and started eating it with satisfaction.
He took the second bite, and when he took the third bite, he was obviously bitten by the spiciness and put down his chopsticks.
Zhou Yichen thought she was going to order the dishes herself, but the next second he saw her bring the dessert on the table over.
She felt better when she put the cool dessert in her mouth. Looking at the steam rising from the pot, she knew it would be spicy but she didn't expect it to be this spicy.
He poured a glass of plum juice and placed it in front of her. "How about changing to something less spicy?"
"No, it's too much trouble, and it will be a waste."
Xu Yucheng ate slowly this time, drinking a sip of water after eating a piece of food.
He scooped out all the chili peppers floating on the pot with a spoon.
"If it's too spicy, eat less. I'll take you to eat something else later."
Although it was spicy, it tasted delicious. She took the empty bowl, poured a bowl of boiled water, and put the meat from the pot back into the bowl before putting it into her mouth.
After a hotpot meal, Zhou Yichen summed it up for her in one sentence: "It's delicious and I love it."
