Chapter 198 A House of My Own Design
I took Xiao Shiqiu into this small restaurant. He looked a bit out of place in his custom-made cashmere coat. The waiter came up to him enthusiastically and asked, "What would you like to eat?"
He pointed to several walls and said, "Signature dishes on the east side, traditional dishes on the west side, fusion dishes on the south side, and the wine cabinet on the north side."
This guy is really good at talking!
"I want a large portion of paper-wrapped wings, eight of them." Then he looked at Xiao Shiqiu, "You can order the rest."
He looked at me with a smile and said, "I've never been to this restaurant. Just order whatever you like. I have no dietary restrictions."
I didn't bother to be polite and ordered four dishes, a soup and coconut milk in one go.
"Your school is quite far from here, so your foraging area is very wide~" He teased me with his arms crossed.
"They said online that this Typhoon Shelter Paper-Wrapped Shark's Fin is the best in City A, so Tianyi and I came here specifically to find it.
It’s really comparable to what my old aunt did.”
"Is your aunt from the South?"
I felt a little nostalgic, "Yes, in addition to paper-wrapped shark's fin, she was also a master at making soup.
Unfortunately, she went back home after her son finished college. She came to T City just to accompany her son to study."
“We could also hire a southern aunt who’s good at cooking, but our house is too small now, and there’s no place for her to stay.
How about you take the trouble to go and look for a house these two days?" He smiled like an old fox and tried to instigate me to move to a bigger house.
"No, I don't have money." My reason was extremely perfunctory.
"No money required, just take it for free. These houses are from my company and have just been put on the market. You can pick any one you want." His smile became more and more sinister.
"My current house is convenient for school, and I don't want to change it." I continued to make excuses.
"The new building is close to my company. You still have half a year to go to school, but I still have decades to work.
Besides, it will take at least half a year from renovation to move-in, so it won’t interfere with your schooling.”
He leaned closer to me and said in a more seductive tone, "Don't you want to own a house that you designed entirely by yourself?"
He deliberately lowered his voice and said, "The furniture you personally selected, the curtains you liked, and a full set of high-quality linen bedding..."
I was really tempted. "Well, how about taking some time to go see the model house?"
"Okay! It's happily decided. Let's go tomorrow. I'll also go to Excellence to inspect their work."
After dinner, we went to a nearby fruit store to buy a gift box and returned to the hospital to see Tan Qi.
When I found bed 524, I was surprised to discover that Luo Zhihao was still there, peeling an orange for Tan Qi, and was considerate enough to even remove the orange peel.
Seeing us come in, Luo Zhihao immediately stood up and offered the only stool to Xiao Shiqiu to sit on. Xiao Shiqiu gestured for me to sit down, and I sat down without any hesitation.
"Sister, are you still in pain now?" I have a very good impression of Tan Qi. She is beautiful, gentle and friendly. Although this is required by the nature of her job, her smile is very sincere, which is different from the professional fake smile.
Tan Qi was very happy to see me. She couldn't sit up, so she turned her head and smiled at me: "It doesn't hurt much now, but my waist is fixed in the brace, so I can't move. It's a bit uncomfortable to lie down for a long time."
"He has been here with you these two days?" I pointed at Luo Zhihao.
Her face flushed slightly, and she hummed softly, "He's very nice. He said I was injured because of his mother, so he came to the hospital every day to accompany me."
Luo Zhihao quickly stated: "It's my responsibility to take care of Xiaoqi. Xiaoqi's family is not in City A, and it's not enough to rely on a caregiver alone.
The doctor said that you need to recuperate at home for three months after being discharged from the hospital. You can come to my house to recuperate then. My sister is studying at a university in T City and doesn't come home often. Xiaoqi can stay in her room and let my mother make nutritious meals for you every day.
Anyone can see what's going on with that attentiveness.
