When they realized the danger was coming, they were all terrified, but things happened too quickly and they had no time to dodge.
At this moment, Chen Xu, who had sensed the danger in advance, grabbed the coat beside him, threw it hard, and covered their heads to block the scalding soup from splashing over.
"ah--"
The man who was splashed with soup and oil screamed in pain, jumped up from his seat, his face full of fear and anger.
The hotpot restaurant was well heated, and since they were eating hotpot, everyone would not wear too many clothes after entering. He was only wearing a shirt, and was soaked all over. His face and neck were visibly burned red.
As for the woman sitting opposite him, who had triggered the conflict, she jumped up in shock and took a few steps back. After a while, she realized that the child was still sitting in the baby chair next to her, so she hurried over to pull the child aside.
The child was only one or two years old and was so scared that he burst into tears.
At this time, the waiter who originally wanted to come over to persuade the situation was frightened and grabbed the violent man, fearing that he would do something more outrageous.
Such a sudden change shocked everyone in the hot pot restaurant.
"Are you all right?"
Chen Xu took his coat back and put it back on the seat next to him.
Both girls were terrified. If Chen Xu hadn't intervened in time and used his clothes to block the hot soup from splashing on their faces, they might have been disfigured. For girls who love beauty, it was a catastrophe.
"It's okay, thank you for what happened just now." The first person to react was the shy-looking girl named Xiaoyin. After confirming that she was okay, she hurriedly thanked him.
Another girl named Shasha was still staring over there, sighing, "What kind of hatred and grudge is this?"
If a pot of boiling hot pot is poured on someone, it is no joke and will definitely cause burns.
The man who had just started the fight ran in, cursed a few words, and suddenly started fighting. The two girls were talking to Chen Xu, but they didn't pay much attention to it. They didn't know what the conflict was between them.
But Chen Xu heard it. The man who threw the splash came up and asked the woman with the child why she didn't answer the phone. It was obvious that the two were a couple. The man called the woman, but the woman didn't answer. Instead, she took the child to call another man.
The woman said something impatiently, and her husband exploded and suddenly attacked her, resulting in such a tragedy.
Chen Xu did not explain further. He did not want to gossip about such matters.
Soon, everyone at the next table left, and I had no idea how things would develop after that.
Everyone in the store was talking about what had just happened, saying all kinds of things.
Because of this delay, the serving time of the dishes was much slower. Chen Xu and his friends waited for a while before the waiter brought all the dishes.
After the meal, the two girls insisted on paying the bill, saying that they wanted to thank him for saving them.
Chen Xu was not polite. In order to save them, his coat was stained with oil and chili, which was difficult to wash. His suits cost tens of thousands of yuan, and he felt bad when they got dirty. It was no big deal to ask them to treat him.
In addition to paying the bill, they also invited him to join them in the afternoon.
He thought about it for a moment, asked them where they wanted to go, and then agreed.
Both girls are very pretty, with outstanding temperament and nice personalities. Shasha is cheerful, speaks boldly and likes to joke. Xiaoyin is shy and gets embarrassed easily, but she is very polite and considerate.
It's nice to have two girls like this to keep me company and talk to.
After an afternoon of sightseeing in Beijing, Chen Xu declined their invitation to have dinner together and took a taxi back to the hotel. Before leaving, they made an appointment to climb the Great Wall tomorrow.
The two girls stayed in a double room at a convenient hotel. After a day of shopping, they were tired. After returning to the hotel, they lay on the bed, picked up their phones, and photoshopped their pictures.
"Hey, what do you think of that uncle?" Sasha quickly edited the photo, posted it on her Moments, and suddenly asked.
"What's going on?" Xiaoyin asked back while still flipping through her phone.
Shasha turned over and lay down next to her, saying, "I think he's a nice guy, but he's just not very good looking."
"Really?" Xiaoyin said after posting the photo to her friends, "I think he's a bit stingy."
"ah?"
Xiaoyin said, "Look at what he's wearing, all designer clothes, he must be quite rich. We said we wanted to treat him at noon, and he didn't even refuse."
Xiaoyin was a little unconvinced and said, "Frugality is a virtue. Besides, it means he has no other intentions towards us."
Sasha scratched her face and said, "You wish he had some intentions towards you, don't you?"
"If he has no intention, it proves that we have no charm. How can we tolerate this?"
Xiaoyin rolled her eyes, not wanting to pay attention to her, and said, "I'm going to take a shower first." After that, she turned over and got out of bed. When she entered the bathroom, she turned around and said, "I think he should have a girlfriend. You should just give up on this idea."
Shasha said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't like him."
"Really?" Xiaoyin said and closed the bathroom door.
Sasha was sitting there flipping through her phone, watching short videos, when she suddenly seemed to have discovered something new. She ran to the bathroom door, banged on it, and said, "What happened at the hot pot restaurant has gone viral."
"What's hot?"
The bathroom door opened and Xiaoyin asked while wiping her hair with a towel.
"It happened at noon, you see."
Xiaoyin looked at her mobile phone and saw what happened at the hot pot restaurant at noon. Looking back now, she still felt a little scared when she saw the man being splashed with water.
"Look, it's us. The uncle reacts really quickly." Sasha and she were not paying attention to the same thing. The video also captured the girls at the next table, and they just happened to see Chen Xu using his clothes to block the soup that was splashed over.
When it was played for the second time, Xiaoyin also saw it and had to admit that if it weren't for Chen Xu, they would have become victims as well.
Sasha said, "We really should thank him."
Xiaoyin said, "I want to, but he doesn't appreciate it even if I treat him to a meal."
"You don't have a problem with him because he embarrassed you, do you?"
Xiao Yin said unhappily, "Why should I be embarrassed? It wasn't me who invited you."
Shasha said, "Anyway, there is still a chance tomorrow. Didn't he agree to climb the Great Wall together? I'll treat him to lunch tomorrow."
