"What you call delicious food is skewers?"
Qiu Shui looked at the food stall in front of him that couldn't be more familiar, and then looked at the two tables of college students sitting not far away, who seemed to be participating in a team-building activity.
"Not only skewers, but also crayfish." Liang Zitao left his chair and sat down.
"Mr. Qiu, let me tell you, don't be fooled by the fact that this is a food stall. The skewers and crayfish here are so delicious. They are better than those in five-star hotels. When Ah Chen and I were in school, we would come here to eat every time we had a holiday. I just saw that there are crayfish today. We are so lucky. Crayfish are not always available here."
In Liang Zitao's opinion, a rich second-generation like Qiu Shui would definitely not come to this kind of food stall to eat.
Not only Liang Zitao thought so, in fact, Lou Yuchen also thought so.
After all, Qiu Shui dressed very handsomely today in order to meet Lou Yuchen.
The elegance and nobility he was wearing were totally out of place in this food stall.
Qiu Shui couldn't help but smile helplessly. Just as he was about to sit down, he was stopped by Lou Yuchen.
"Wait a moment."
Lou Yuchen took out a pack of tissues from his pocket, wiped the chair behind Qiu Shui, and then said, "Okay."
There was no dust or oil stains on the paper towel.
Qiu Shui blinked, feeling a little touched, and said to Lou Yuchen: "Actually, there is no need..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard Liang Zitao say, "Ah Chen, let's go out for dinner. Could you please control your mild mysophobia a little bit?"
"This is not mysophobia. It's just a habit." Lou Yuchen wiped his chair with the tissue in his hand. He looked up and saw Qiu Shui looking at him, and said, "Sit down, wipe it clean."
Qiu Shui couldn't help feeling warm in his heart. After thanking him softly, he sat down.
Liang Zitao looked at Lou Yuchen and then at Qiu Shui, and suddenly remembered what Lou Yuchen had said in the villa.
I couldn't help but let out a wicked smile, "Ah Chen, why don't you wipe it for me? Or is it that in your heart, I, your brother, am not as important as someone else?"
When Qiu Shui heard this, his ears felt hot and he reflexively looked at Lou Yuchen.
He thought Lou Yuchen would refute, after all, these words seemed too ambiguous.
However, Lou Yuchen nodded in a special way, "Yeah."
He actually admitted it.
Qiu Shui's pupils shrank slightly, and his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.
Don't get me wrong, maybe Lou Yuchen is just joking, so Qiu Shui, you must not misunderstand me.
Qiu Shui kept reminding herself not to take Lou Yuchen's words seriously.
After all, the two of them had only known each other for such a short time.
Apart from the fact that he is a beauty-obsessed person and falls in love with Lou Yuchen at first sight.
It is impossible for Lou Yuchen, the aloof chess god, to fall in love with him at first sight.
So, it's all a joke.
Liang Zitao whistled and looked at the two of them with particularly ambiguous eyes.
"Okay, I won't bother you two with my light bulb. I'll go order some food. Mr. Qiu, can you handle spicy food?"
Qiu Shui said a little uncomfortably: "A little bit is fine."
Liang Zitao made an "OK" gesture, and without asking Lou Yuchen, he went straight to find the boss.
Seeing Liang Zitao talking excitedly with the boss, Qiu Shui glanced at Lou Yuchen with a vague look.
Unexpectedly, Lou Yuchen was looking at him, and their eyes met in mid-air.
Qiu Shui couldn't help feeling guilty and immediately looked away.
Lou Yuchen kept looking at him, and seeing Qiu Shui's expression, he said calmly, "Are you angry? Sorry, he just likes to joke around. Don't mind it."
Lou Yuchen thought that Qiu Shui was unhappy because of the joke Liang Zitao made just now.
"No." Qiu Shui was afraid that Lou Yuchen would misunderstand, so he quickly explained: "I'm not angry."
Not angry?
Lou Yuchen asked Qiu Shui with a puzzled look.
Lou Yuchen's eyes are really unfair.
His eyes are clearly the kind that look very clear, but when he looks at others, he always gives people the illusion of being deeply affectionate.
If you don’t know, you might think he was winking at you.
Qiu Shui took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"I just want to tell you guys not to worry too much about me. I come here often too."
"Do you come here often?" Lou Yuchen looked Qiu Shui up and down, then turned his head to look at the people around him.
He couldn't imagine that Qiu Shui was someone who came here often.
After all, from the outside, Qiu Shui looks like someone who was born in a pyramid.
Qiu Shui had nothing to hide. "Yes, I come here often. One street over from here is my university. When I was in college, I often came here with my friends to eat skewers. But..."
The diploma is gone.
I went to school for four years and paid so much tuition.
As a result, in the end, I couldn’t even get my diploma.
Seeing Qiu Shui hesitated to speak and looked disappointed, Lou Yuchen did not ask any more questions.
The system chirped in Qiu Shui's mind: "The graduation certificate from that rubbish school is not worthy of the host. If the host wants, this system can get the host a graduation certificate from Kyoto University or Jinghua University."
"Thank you, Xiao Tongtong." Qiu Shui was really comforted.
Seeing Lou Yuchen fall silent, Qiu Shui couldn't help but laugh and said, "Didn't you expect that I would go to college here?"
"Yeah." Lou Yuchen was also very honest. He always said what he thought.
Qiu Shui shrugged, "I can't help it. My grades were not good during the college entrance examination. So, I can only go to this second-tier university. No, I'm already in a first-tier university now."
After listening to Qiu Shui's words, Lou Yuchen looked at the smile on Qiu Shui's face and felt that his smile seemed a little forced.
I couldn't help but say, "Grades and school are not the absolute criteria for measuring a person's excellence. You are excellent."
Qiu Shui was stunned, the corners of his mouth lifted unconsciously, the smile that was originally not pleasing to the eye had now dyed his eyes.
Lou Yuchen actually said that he is very good, oh my god, I am so happy!
At this moment, Qiu Shui had forgotten all about school and graduation certificate.
Now his mind was filled with the joy of being recognized by Lou Yuchen.
"What are you talking about? You seem so happy." Liang Zitao came back and saw Qiu Shui's bright smile, and couldn't help asking.
"Nothing, what did you order?" Lou Yuchen asked casually.
Then he picked up the teapot on the table, put the cups and bowls on the plate, poured in the still boiling hot tea, and began to disinfect them.
"I ordered a full set of grilled skewers, and then ordered three flavors of crayfish, ten pounds each. I was so lucky that the boss even made thirteen-spice flavored crayfish today."
Liang Zitao sighed, "I miss it so much. The last time I ate crayfish was last year. Mr. Qiu, wait a minute, you really have to try it. The crayfish here tastes amazing."
Qiu Shui smiled and narrowed his eyes, "I know, I graduated from the University of Science and Technology. When I was in college, I often came here to eat."
But I didn’t expect that Lou Yuchen and Liang Zitao would also come here to eat.
"What?" Liang Zitao said, as if he had heard a big joke. "Are you from HKUST?"
Qiu Shui nodded, "Well, doesn't it look like it?"
Liang Zitao looked Qiu Shui up and down, shook his head and said, "Not at all."
If Qiu Shui, the young master of a wealthy family, wants to go to school, he should go to one of the key universities, right?
How did you come to HKUST to study?
Coincidentally, the boss brought over the cooked crayfish.
Because so many people have been eating crayfish recently, the boss prepared all the crayfish in advance and put them in an insulated box.
When delivering the crayfish, the boss saw Qiu Shui and said with a smile, "Young man, you're here again?"
"Yeah." Qiu Shui nodded and greeted, "Come with friends."
"Okay, since you are all regular customers, I will give you an extra half pound of crayfish later."
Qiu Shui just came here two days ago with Liang Liang and his friends for a big meal, and Qiu Shui and his friends are also regular customers here. So it's not surprising that the boss recognized him.
Soon, the boss brought up half a pound of crayfish. The table was filled with three flavors of crayfish.
"Are you really from USTC?" Liang Zitao thought Qiu Shui was joking, but when he saw that the boss knew Qiu Shui, he began to believe it.
"Yes. Also, you can just call me Qiu Shui like Lou Yuchen." Qiu Shui thought Liang Zitao had a good personality.
"Okay, then I'll call you Qiu Shui." Seeing Qiu Shui said so, Liang Zitao was not polite at all. This makes their concern and care more apparent.
Qiu Shui put on disposable gloves and peeled crayfish while asking Liang Zitao: "You followed Lou Yuchen back to Kyoto this time, are you here to have fun?"
"Of course not. I'm here to participate in the Hualong Cup Go Tournament. There's nothing I can do. Our club can hardly afford to pay the players' salaries. We, as bosses, can only come out to compete and earn some money. Otherwise, Achen will have to sell the building." Liang Zitao peeled a crayfish in no time, his movements very skillful.
"Selling a building?" Qiu Shui looked at Lou Yuchen in surprise, "What building to sell?"
"It's the villa where Achen lives now!" Liang Zitao said helplessly, "We have no choice. Since the establishment of the club, all the investment has been made by ourselves. Now we are in trouble, and it is not difficult to find external investment. But Achen is unwilling to do so. He said he was afraid that those investors would make decisions for the club."
Liang Zitao ate a crayfish in one bite and continued, "If you ask me, we are totally broke. We can't even pay the salaries of the chess players in the club. We can compromise a little bit, but he is stubborn and doesn't want to."
Although Lou Yuchen peeled the shrimps slowly, he was very careful.
After Liang Zitao finished speaking, he argued: "A temporary compromise will only become a lifetime compromise. It is better to stick to your principles from the beginning."
Liang Zitao curled his lips and said, "Tsk, we can't even afford to eat. And you still talk about principles. If you have the ability, stick to your principles and see if anyone will invest in us for your principles."
Qiu Shui, who was standing aside, did not say anything, but recorded their words in his heart.
invest?
Club?
Qiu Shui suddenly had an idea in his mind.
