Chapter 229: Staying in a Hotel
"..." In fact, when Meng Chuyuan walked out of the airport hall, she felt a cold wind blowing towards her. She subconsciously shrugged her shoulders and hid half of her head in her scarf.
She was just about to complain about Lu Qingye's exaggerated words, but now she shivered in the cold wind and her eyes narrowed.
Lu Qingye saw with his own eyes that she was holding her head high and chest out just a second ago, but after coming out and facing the cold air, she was like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand.
He told Meng Chuyuan: "This is not the coldest time yet."
It gets dark earlier in winter. It is dark before 6pm and the temperature outside starts to drop slowly.
Meng Chuyuan buried his mouth and nose in his scarf, his voice muffled and filled with regret: "I must be crazy to come all the way here to suffer."
——
Lu Qingye and Meng Chuyuan came to a Chinese restaurant for dinner.
The interior of this restaurant is mainly dark in color, and many Chinese cultural elements are incorporated into the modern decoration, which has a certain antique charm.
The restaurant used a small square table for four people, and Lu Qingye and Meng Chuyuan sat face to face.
Lu Qingye ordered a table full of dishes, all of which were Meng Chuyuan's favorites.
After all the dishes were served, Meng Chuyuan held a bowl of hot rice in his hand, picked up a piece of pork tenderloin with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, then ate the rice in big mouthfuls.
It was Meng Chuyuan's first time going abroad and the first time he sat on a thirteen-hour flight. Being able to have a hot meal in such a cold foreign country was undoubtedly a kind of happiness and satisfaction.
Compared to Meng Chuyuan's wolfing down of food, Lu Qingye's eating manners were very gentle, and every movement seemed so slow and methodical.
After Lu Qingye had eaten his fill, he poured a bowl of traditional Chinese soup for Meng Chuyuan and placed it on the table, quietly watching her gnaw on the braised pig's trotter in her hand.
Feeling a pair of eyes staring at him, Meng Chuyuan raised his eyes and glanced at him, curiously asking, "Why are you looking at me?"
She felt like a puppy chewing a bone while being stared at by its owner. It was quite subtle.
Lu Qingye raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in confusion: "Is it really that delicious?"
"It's okay." The cooking methods of these dishes were not very authentic and the taste was average, but she was really hungry and everything tasted delicious to her.
After Meng Chuyuan finished eating the braised pig's trotter, she wiped her hands with a wet towel and drank the soup in the bowl.
"Wipe your face." After she finished her bowl, Lu Qingye handed her a tissue.
Meng Chuyuan took the tissue from him, wiped his face, tilted his head slightly, pointed his nose at Lu Qingye, and asked smugly, "Is it clean?"
“…” Lu Qingye did not answer, but silently took out a new tissue and raised his hand to wipe her face.
She maintained the same posture as before, her eyes quietly falling on Lu Qingye's protruding Adam's apple.
"Okay." Lu Qingye pulled his hand back and placed the oil-stained tissue on the dining table.
…
After coming out of the restaurant, Lu Qingye took off his windbreaker and put it on Meng Chuyuan's shoulders. He was left with only a white fleece coat.
Fortunately, their car was parked nearby and they didn't have to suffer the cold outside.
The car was very quiet and there was no music playing. Not long after Meng Chuyuan got in the car, she felt sleepy. The dim atmosphere was really suitable for sleeping.
Meng Chuyuan didn't sleep much on the plane, and now that she had calmed down, she actually started yawning.
Seeing that she was a little sleepy, Lu Qingye spoke softly: "I'm sorry to bother you to stay in the hotel with me for the next few days."
He often travels on business and his location is not fixed, so he has no habit of buying a house outside and usually stays in a nearby hotel.
Meng Chuyuan nodded and responded: "Okay."
