Chapter 59 Basic Courtesy
…
Pan Xiaowei drove the car to the parking lot outside Dream Valley.
As the four of them walked into Dream Valley, a car sped past Tian Haitang at the edge, and there happened to be a puddle of water next to Tian Haitang.
Tian Haitang could already foresee the embarrassing situation she was about to face, but because the car was going too fast, she was too late to dodge.
At this moment, a strong arm embraced Tian Haitang's slender waist, surrounding her like a duckweed in a warm and safe harbor. The accumulated water on the road was splashed by the high-speed rotating wheels and fell on the man behind Tian Haitang.
Tian Haitang raised her head in shock, her beautiful clear eyes looked upward, and then she saw Xu Kai's sunny smile.
"Don't keep hiding outside. Look how dangerous it is!" Xu Kai scolded.
"Um……"
Tian Haitang responded timidly, her eyes full of sweetness and happiness.
"You go inside me."
After saying that, Xu Kai pulled Tian Haitang inside and took Tian Haitang's hand.
Seeing Xu Kai being overbearing yet gentle to Tian Haitang, Dong Ni was filled with resentment: "If I had expressed my feelings to him earlier, maybe he wouldn't have been snatched away by someone else."
Pan Xiaowei said enthusiastically: "I have a new set of clothes in my car, which has not been opened yet. Brother Yu, can I give it to you?"
Xu Kai didn't act pretentiously. He went back with Pan Xiaowei to get his new clothes, and then got into Pan Xiaowei's car to change his clothes.
Seeing Xu Kai's mermaid line again, Dong Ni swallowed unconsciously.
Then, as she watched, Dong Ni couldn't help but squeeze her legs together - the scene when she was filming the bed scene with Xu Kai that day and Xu Kai was shirtless and whipping her with a belt flashed through her mind again.
Wait for Xu Kai to change his clothes and get out of the car.
Dong Ni's restless heart became even more difficult to suppress.
Why do you think so?
Just because Pan Xiaowei was very thin and not as tall as Xu Kai, his clothes were a little small, so that after Xu Kai put on his shirt, his strong chest muscles made the shirt bulge out.
This filled Dong Ni's mind with Xu Kai's warm chest and hard pectoral muscles.
Dong Ni quickly turned her head away, not daring to look at Xu Kai again.
Perhaps noticing Dong Ni's strangeness, Pan Xiaowei hurriedly tried to make himself felt: "Let's go eat first, and then go to the movies. I heard there's a good Italian restaurant here."
To be honest, Xu Kai doesn’t like Italian food, because every time he eats Italian food, he feels sleepy.
This is not only because the environment of Italian dining is very hypnotic, but more because the waiter will spend a long time explaining each dish to you.
Please, I'm here to eat, not to listen to your nagging.
But considering that Tian Haitang has definitely never eaten Italian food, Italian food might be able to give Tian Haitang some cooking inspiration.
Besides, it was almost noon, so there was just enough time to have a time-consuming Italian meal, watch a movie, and then go home.
So Xu Kai agreed with Pan Xiaowei's proposal.
After asking around, the four found the Italian restaurant that Pan Xiaowei mentioned and walked in.
To be fair, the environment of this Italian restaurant is pretty good, the kind of atmosphere that those fake socialites like.
The four of them found a table where they could see the whole view of Dream Valley and sat down.
"Although Italian and French cuisine look very similar, they are actually very different. The biggest difference lies in the use of sauces. Sauces are as important to French cuisine as broth is to Chinese cuisine. French cuisine relies on the proper use of sauces to make the taste of the dishes more complex and layered. Italian cuisine, on the other hand, pursues the original flavor..."
Unlike Tian Haitang who was focused on listening to Xu Kai explain the methods and differences between French and Italian cuisine, Dong Ni was more concerned about the fact that Xu Kai was so knowledgeable.
Looking at Xu Kai who was talking so eloquently, Dong Ni liked him more and more, and her heart became more and more agitated.
After waiting for more than twenty minutes, the waiter finally brought the first dish.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not, but this dish is actually spinach puree, which the chef made into something like matcha dumplings. It also has a very speechless name - Green Mood.
Pan Xiaowei strongly recommends this dish: "This is liquid vegetable, which has very high nutritional value. Eating it often is good for your health."
Seeing that each person only had a small spoonful of green mood, Xu Kai was too lazy to open his mouth.
Seeing that Pan Xiaowei seemed to like this dish very much, Xu Kai poured his spoonful into Pan Xiaowei's plate and asked him to eat more.
The second dish was a slice of beef tongue.
The third dish was a small piece of golden eye snapper.
The fourth course, a small piece of foie gras.
The fifth dish, a small ball of pasta.
The sixth dish was a small catfish not much thicker than a finger.
The last course was a small piece of deer steak - the size of a cup.
And then... nothing.
The rule of this Italian restaurant is that you eat whatever they cook, and you basically have no choice.
There wasn't much food to begin with, and the waiter took more than an hour to serve it all. Xu Kai, who had a high metabolism, almost digested it all while eating.
To be honest, if Xu Kai hadn't seen that Tian Haitang was very interested in these dishes, he would have left long ago.
Touching his still empty stomach, Xu Kai simply asked the waiter to bring ten more deer chops.
The deer chops in his restaurant were made with champagne to remove the fishy smell, so they have a champagne flavor. The texture is similar to steak, but without the greasy taste of steak. Xu Kai found it quite good, so he just ate as much as he could.
In fact, Pan Xiaowei was not full either.
But in order to maintain his own gentleman image and synchronize with Dong Ni, after Dong Ni put down her knife and fork, Pan Xiaowei also put down his knife and fork, and just watched Xu Kai eating deer chops alone.
Dong Ni is a lover who sees beauty in everything. She watched Xu Kai wolfing down the food with great interest.
In front of Tian Haitang were all the dishes from start to finish, including the side dishes. She tasted each dish carefully, thinking while discussing the cooking methods with Xu Kai, and writing down her thoughts.
After Xu Kai finished draining the last piece of deer and Tian Haitang had almost finished analyzing the dishes on the table, Pan Xiaowei called the waiter to prepare for the bill.
The waiter pointed at Xu Kai and said, "This gentleman has already been married."
"Married?" Pan Xiaowei was stunned, and Dong Ni was also a little surprised, because it had been agreed before the meal that Pan Xiaowei would pay for the meal.
"Brother Yu, you are slapping me in the face. We agreed that I would treat you to this meal. I will transfer the money to you," said Pan Xiaowei.
"Yes, Brother Yu, it's Pan Xiaowei who wants to eat Italian food, so just let him treat him. He has money anyway." Dong Ni also said.
"Let's go. Don't we want to watch a movie?" Xu Kai wiped his mouth and said.
"You have taken such good care of Shishi. I would feel bad if I didn't treat you to a meal. I will transfer the meal fee to you now." Pan Xiaowei said sincerely.
Seeing Pan Xiaowei talking about all sorts of things, Xu Kai was speechless. He thought to himself, "With someone like you, I'm afraid you'll never catch up with Dong Shishi in this lifetime."
Sure enough, when Dong Ni saw Pan Xiaowei bringing up the sex scene that had embarrassed her in front of Xu Kai, she glared at Pan Xiaowei hatefully, then glanced secretly at Xu Kai with shyness on her face.
"Forget it, I've already paid. I'll treat you next time I have the chance." Xu Kai said.
"Then next time I really have to come, Brother Yu, you are not allowed to snatch it from me again." Pan Xiaowei said seriously.
"Okay." Xu Kai nodded.
In fact, Xu Kaizhen never thought of competing with Pan Xiaowei for the treat.
It’s just a meal, it means nothing to either myself or Pan Xiaowei.
The main reason was that Xu Kai ordered ten more deer chops. In this case, it was really difficult for him to ask Pan Xiaowei to treat him. This was basic courtesy.
