Chapter 116: Peeling lobster for Mr. Xi~
The lobster restaurant that Ruan Qi mentioned was actually the seafood restaurant where she invited Qin Qingdi and the other two to dinner last time.
This restaurant is probably the most upscale one near the Imperial University, and the food tastes especially good, so Ruan Qi wanted to bring Xi Jiu here to try it.
Xi Jiu, wearing a seven-figure suit, squeezed into the bustling snack street with Ruan Qi.
The students passing by all looked at him curiously. After all, Xi Jiu's clothes were visibly expensive to them.
"Mr. Xi, we're here. This is it." Ruan Qi in front suddenly stopped.
She turned around and waved to Xi Jiu, her peach blossom eyes curved into crescents outside the mask.
"Let's go in."
——*——*——
In the private room, several waiters brought the dishes to the table in an orderly manner.
"Mr. Xi, I don't know what you like to eat, so I ordered a little of everything." Ruan Qi took off her mask, scratched her red nose, and said solemnly, "This restaurant is really delicious, especially the crayfish. Mr. Xi, would you like to try it?"
As she spoke, she put on disposable gloves, picked up a crayfish and started peeling it.
The little girl's fingers are very thin, white and tender, forming a sharp contrast with the red crayfish.
Ruan Qi quickly peeled a lobster and placed it on Xi Jiu's plate.
Xi Jiu was stunned.
"You..." He stared at her blankly, his cold voice a little unstable, "You peeled the lobster for me?"
"Yes~" Ruan Qi, who was busy peeling lobsters, raised her head and smiled softly, "This meal is my way of thanking Mr. Xi for helping me. Peeling lobsters is also a way of thanking him."
In fact, there was another reason she didn't mention.
As the head of the Xi family, Xi Jiu doesn't look like someone who would eat crayfish.
She was afraid that he didn't know how to peel the lobster, but she was too embarrassed to tell him.
Well, she is such a kind and thoughtful little angel~
Ruan Qi gave herself a little red flower in her heart, and happily peeled a few more crayfish and put them on Xi Jiu's plate.
"Mr. Xi, please eat quickly. If it's not enough, we can order more."
The Xi family's leader, who has always been decisive, iron-fisted and ruthless, was unusually confused.
He looked at the red lobster meat on the plate, and dense starlight emerged from the depths of his black eyes.
Xi Jiu picked up the chopsticks and gracefully picked up the lobster meat and put it into his mouth.
Rich spicy flavor spreads in the mouth.
He has never liked food that is heavy in oil and salt, but this time, he felt that Ruan Qi was right - the lobster in this restaurant is really, really delicious.
Xi Jiu swallowed the lobster meat, raised his head, and saw the little girl's eyes full of expectation.
The corners of his mouth curled up and he nodded slightly: "Delicious."
Suddenly, the little girl smiled like a pink marshmallow.
"I'm glad you like it, Mr. Xi. I'll peel it for you." As she said that, she reached out to take the lobster, but Xi Jiu grabbed her wrist.
Ruan Qi looked at him doubtfully.
"No need for you." Xi Jiu pulled her hand back and slowly put on disposable gloves. "I'll peel it and you eat it."
As he spoke, he took a lobster and peeled out the meat with a flick of his slender fingers.
Ruan Qi opened her eyes wide in shock, her mouth opening into an 'O' shape.
"Mr. Xi peels lobsters so quickly!" she exclaimed sincerely.
A smile flashed across Xi Jiu's eyes.
He placed the lobster meat on her plate and said in a deep voice, "When we were on missions at the base and there was no food, we ate whatever we could find. If we came across crayfish, everyone would rush to eat them. Eating them often helped us develop our speed."
In just a few words, Ruan Qi was able to capture the hardship and difficulty of the time.
She nodded, tactfully didn't ask any further questions, and changed the subject to a lighter one.
"Actually, I used to eat crayfish quite often. My family lived in a village, and the river behind the mountain was full of wild crayfish. In the summer, my master and my senior brothers would take me to catch crayfish."
