Chapter 279 Speaking Attitude
Zhou Heran spat three times in a row: "What unlucky things are you saying? My Xixi will definitely be safe and sound and live a long and healthy life!"
"Since she'll be safe and sound, why are you still crying? Aren't you ashamed? You cried the whole way. I never knew you were such a crybaby."
Zhou Heran spoke with self-righteousness and did not feel ashamed at all: "What's wrong with crying? I'm doing this so that Xixi can hear me, and that she will feel sorry for me and wake up sooner."
Qi Chenyan couldn't stand it anymore and kicked him again.
"That's all nonsense. Xiaoxi will only find you noisy. Go wash your face. You look so ugly from crying. If Xiaoxi wakes up and sees you like this, she might not want you anymore."
Zhou Heran, who had been staying by Qi Xi's side and refusing to leave, immediately got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face when he heard that Qi Xi would abandon him because he had become ugly.
When they came out, they saw Qi Chenyan video chatting with Yu Li.
Yu Li spoke very softly, afraid of disturbing Qi Xi, who was still fast asleep.
It was determined that Qi Xi only had a common fever, and that the fever would subside quickly after the IV drip was finished, and there would be no serious problems.
“I still have work to do. If Xiaoxi needs anything, she can call me anytime.”
Zhou Heran patted Qi Chenyan on the shoulder, "Thanks really, brother, this time."
Qi Chenyan raised an eyebrow. "What did you call me?"
Zhou Heran thought Qi Chenyan's expression was really annoying.
"Uncle, please also thank Auntie for me."
"Are you satisfied now?"
Being of a lower generation is such a disadvantage. It's frustrating to watch Qi Chenyan abuse his seniority and act arrogantly. There's nothing you can do about it.
"Don't call me by the wrong name again, nephew-in-law."
Zhou Heran gritted his teeth, "I advise you not to be too cocky, or you'll easily turn your joy into sorrow."
"Is this how a junior should speak to an elder?"
Zhou Heran gave a forced smile: "I'll remember you, Uncle. You're awesome, Uncle."
Qi Chenyan chuckled, patted him on the shoulder, and then clapped his hands and left after getting the benefit.
Just as the doctor had said, Qi Xi finally woke up in the evening.
As soon as Qi Xi opened her eyes, she saw Zhou Heran sitting on the edge of the bed, his eyes red and looking rather haggard.
"Xixi, you're awake? Are you still feeling unwell? Is your head still dizzy?"
As he spoke, Zhou Heran touched Qi Xi's forehead.
She breathed a slight sigh of relief: "His forehead isn't hot anymore, so it seems the fever has subsided. I'll call the nurse over to check on him again."
But Qi Xi wanted to get up, so Zhou Heran immediately helped her up and placed a soft pillow behind her so she could lean on it more comfortably.
"Zhou Zhou, I'm so hungry."
Qi Xi started having a fever last night, and for the past day, she has been in a daze, only vaguely aware that someone has fed her some water.
Now that her fever has subsided and she's regained consciousness, her first thought is that her stomach is growling loudly, and she's so hungry she could eat a whole cow.
"It was my oversight. Xixi, what do you want to eat now? I'll go buy it right away."
Qi Xi recited the menu as if it were a list of dishes: "I want roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), grilled cold noodles, roasted duck, crispy potato, plum blossom cake, and a cup of roasted milk tea."
She hadn't eaten at a roadside stall in a long time. Ever since she took the position of general manager and was groomed by the Qi family as their new successor, she had been going to high-end restaurants every day to entertain guests.
The food in those upscale restaurants may look fancy, but it's actually far less delicious than what you find at roadside stalls.
Just thinking about it made her mouth water.
But Zhou Heran was unusually perplexed: "I've heard of roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), but is grilled cold noodles made by grilling noodles over a fire? And what's the difference between braised roast duck and regular Peking duck?"
"Is crispy potato made by roasting potatoes in a pot? Are plum blossom cupcakes shaped like plum blossoms? And is canned roasted milk tea the same as the milk tea sold in regular stores?"
While typing on his phone's memo app, Zhou Heran earnestly asked about these foods he had never heard of before.
Qi Xi was amused and forgot that although Zhou Heran is now a celebrity in the entertainment industry, he comes from a noble family and is probably used to eating at high-end restaurants.
As for those roadside stalls, he didn't have the chance to go there before, and after becoming a celebrity, he certainly had even less of a chance to go, lest he be recognized.
“These foods are very common on food streets. I forgot you haven’t tried them before. Why don’t you go to a restaurant and order some? I’m very hungry now and can eat anything.”
She was just too hungry, and subconsciously wanted to eat the street food she hadn't had in a long time.
Zhou Heran indicated that he understood, and when he left, he called a caregiver to look after Qi Xi.
Although Qi Xi said it was fine to eat the food in the restaurant, Zhou Heran could tell that the little girl was still more tempted by the food in the snack street.
He had never been to a food street before, so he first searched for nearby food streets on his phone and chose those with higher ratings and closer proximity.
Although Zhou Heran had never eaten there before, the food stalls on the street were all small carts, and the signs on the carts were very eye-catching.
Following the signs, Zhou Heran quickly found the food that Qi Xi wanted to eat.
He just didn't expect that there would be several shops selling the same food, and most of them were located in the same area. He didn't know which one tasted better.
What Zhou Heran didn't expect was that the vendors at these food stalls were very enthusiastic. Seeing him wandering around, they invited him to buy from their stalls, all saying that their food was the most delicious on the whole street.
Zhou Heran found it difficult to choose, so he opted for the most tedious method: he planned to try each restaurant one by one to see which one had the best taste.
But he couldn't finish all of it, so he paid double the price to have the restaurant make a small portion so he could taste it and then decide whether to buy the whole thing.
Of course, the shop owner is happy to make the money of two servings while only making one.
Suddenly, a customer next to me said, "The best grilled cold noodles on this snack street are from the second stall on the right at the end. The others are about the same."
Zhou Heran then asked, "This is my first time here on this food street, and I'm not very familiar with it. Do you often eat here? Could you give me some advice? I'll pay you for the consultation. Is a thousand yuan enough?"
The customers were stunned; a thousand yuan could buy them all the food on the entire food street, enough to eat their fill and not even be able to spend it all.
This was truly a windfall, and the customer immediately led Zhou Heran around the food street according to the food list in his memo.
Qi Xi had been waiting impatiently for a long time.
As soon as Zhou Heran pushed the door open, her nose twitched.
"It smells so good!"
Zhou Heran was carrying a bunch of food. He smiled and told Qi Xi not to rush, to open the small table first, and then to arrange the food one by one.
Just as Qi Xi was about to start eating, the nurse came over to draw her blood.
Upon seeing the snacks on the table, he immediately said, "Miss Qi's body has not fully recovered yet. Her fever has just subsided, so she cannot eat too much oily food. It is best to eat light meals."
Qi Xi's face fell, and she tried to bargain: "I'll only eat a little bit, it'll be fine."
