Tang Xili said without hesitation, "Green tea."
When eating meat or dessert, she likes to pair it with green tea to relieve the greasiness.
Yong Zhixu silently took note, and then proceeded step by step, from the outside to the inside. "What a coincidence, I like it too. Does Miss Tangxi have a fixed taste? Bean fragrance, chestnut fragrance, orchid fragrance, or seaweed fragrance?"
"The fragrance of orchids." Tang Xili asked and answered, looking at him in confusion. Why did he ask this?
Then he thought of something, became alert instantly, and his eyes became sharp.
Seeing her wary look, Yong Zhixu stopped asking questions and waved to the waiter, "Make that lady a pot of Lu'an Guapian tea."
His voice is slow and gentle, like the flowing spring water, and his words and actions are all elegant.
Even ordinary movements, when performed by him, would be exceptionally pleasing to the eye.
The grace of white snow on the pines, the charm of clear dew among orchids, humble and polite, with unique demeanor.
Anyone would be moved by it.
But Tang Xili was not just anyone, so she didn't feel anything at all. She just felt that this person didn't eat and kept asking about her preferences, and was very bored.
You might say he had other intentions, but he just ordered a pot of tea for her.
He and I are neither rivals in business nor enemies in politics, so why should we do this?
Tang Xili couldn't figure it out, so she decided to wait and see what happened.
She ignored him and continued eating.
The dishes are continuously served, swirling around the elegant winding stream.
Lychee lamb chops, lychee cuttlefish, sweet and sour lychee meat, baked crab with lychee juice...each dish is very distinctive.
Zhou Zhou and Chen Zui were eating very happily. Every time a dish was served, they would take a photo.
She took all kinds of photos and posted them on WeChat Moments and Weibo. Zhou Zhou also sent them to her online boyfriend.
Chen Zui and Zhou Zhou also agreed to return to Beijing and check in at the newly opened Chinese restaurant.
Only Tang Xili and Yong Zhixu ate quietly throughout the meal.
One was concentrating, the other was eating elegantly, neither taking pictures nor communicating.
After the dishes were served, several desserts were served, including lychee yogurt jelly, lychee patch, snow mountain white peach, and lychee cake...
"Ah..." Zhou Zhou slumped down in the chair, holding his round belly and sighing, "I feel so full. I feel like I'm going to gain several pounds. No, I have to go digest the food."
She stood up and walked out, secretly winking at Chen Zui.
Chen Zui understood immediately and stood up to chase after him, "Zhou'er, wait a minute, brother, I'm full too."
As he stepped out of the banquet hall, Chen Zui suddenly turned around and said to Tang Xili in a pleading tone, "Little Ali, please help me send my third brother back to his room. Thank you."
Tang Xili: ...
She wanted to refuse, but Chen Zui walked too fast and didn't give her a chance to speak.
Helplessly, she had to stand up and walk behind Yong Zhixu, holding the wheelchair handle with her slender fingers.
"Mr. Yong, let me take you back."
Yong Zhixu nodded, "Thank you, Miss Tangxi."
As they left the banquet hall, Yong Zhixu noticed the pleasant scenery in the front yard and suggested in a gentle voice, "Miss Tangxi, shall we go for a walk over there?"
Tang Xili had no objection and pushed him through the corridor and into the front yard.
The yard is very large, about several hundred square meters, and is divided into several areas, with pavilions and flower stands.
The courtyard is planted with strange-shaped pine trees, expensive rockery streams, and various exotic flowers and plants.
There is a large pond in the center.
A small wooden bridge is laid in the middle of the water, dividing the pond into two parts. There are small fish and lotus flowers in the pond.
It had just rained, the air was humid, and the grass and trees looked clean.
A ray of scorching sun broke through the clouds and shone the dew on the lotus leaves into a beautiful rainbow color.
Dragonflies flutter, the breeze blows, and dewdrops dance among the lotus palms.
This scene reminded Tang Xili of a poem: The first rays of the sun dry the overnight rain on the leaves, the water surface is clear and round, and the lotus flowers are swaying in the wind one by one.
Yong Zhixu saw her staring at the lotus leaves in a daze, her black pupils turned slightly, as if she thought of something interesting.
When passing by the small bridge, he bent down, leaned forward and picked up a lotus leaf that looked as fresh as a new one. He looked at Tang Xili with a smile and said, "Miss Tang Xi, let me perform a magic trick for you."
Tang Xili had no idea what he was up to, so she asked casually, "What magic trick?"
"You'll know in a moment. Let's go over there."
Following his instructions, Tang Xili came to the water pipe and saw him fold the lotus leaf and tear off half of the outer circle of leaves, leaving only a small circle in the middle.
After tearing it, he held up the small lotus leaf and smiled mysteriously, "I can turn this lotus leaf into a shower head. Do you believe it, Miss Tangxi?"
(Turn into a shower head?)
Tang Xili naturally didn't believe it. How could a small lotus leaf turn into a shower?
"I don't believe it." She answered truthfully.
Yong Zhixu didn't say anything. He turned his beautiful and crystal-clear fingers, and one end of the lotus leaf fell down, and the broken end of the lotus leaf stem fell between his white jade fingers.
He connected the broken end to the faucet and turned the valve a little.
Suddenly, tap water flowed into the lotus stem, and flowed out along the long lotus stem and from the veins on the back of the lotus leaves.
The water flows into as many branches as there are veins, forming a shower head with dancing water droplets.
Tang Xili had never paid attention to lotus leaves and didn't know they could be like this.
She grabbed the hem of her skirt and squatted down, poking the shower head with her fingertips curiously, as if she had discovered a new world, with joy in her eyes.
The cute contrast that was revealed unintentionally made Yong Zhixu's heart beat fast.
The man stared at her profile intently, leaned over, and whispered softly in her ear, "There's a saying in The Story of the Lotus: 'It's straight inside and straight outside, without vines or branches.' That's it."
Tang Xili read "On the Love of Lotus" when she was a child, but she did not understand its meaning at that time.
Now that he has done this, he understands.
"It is hollow inside and straight outside, without vines or branches. Its fragrance becomes clearer from a distance, and it stands tall and pure..." As she recited this passage, she suddenly looked up and smiled. "The ancients also said that it can be admired from a distance but not touched. Mr. Yong, you have touched it."
Yong Zhixu didn't expect the little girl to smile at him. His breathing suddenly stopped and he felt as if he had been hit hard.
She is pretty, with red lips and white teeth, and as cool as an angel.
This smile added a touch of brilliance to her whole person, like the brightest flower in spring. The scenery in the yard was not even one ten-thousandth of her.
Yong Zhixu was stunned, his heart completely lost in her smile.
Tang Xili saw him in a daze, stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him, "What are you thinking about?"
Yong Zhixu seemed to have just woken up from a dream, with a light blush covering his handsome face. "I'm sorry, Miss Tangxi, I was distracted. Let's go back."
"good."
Tang Xili wanted to take him away.
Unexpectedly, the moment she stood up, she stepped on the hem of her skirt, tripped, and suddenly fell towards Yong Zhixu.
She was extremely surprised. It turned out that when she waved her hand in front of Yong Zhixu, she dropped the hem of her skirt on the ground. When she stood up, she forgot about it and stepped on it.
It happened so quickly that it was impossible to stand up, and it was too late to lie back.
She reacted very quickly and stretched out her hands to support the armrests of his wheelchair to steady herself from falling on him, but the result was -
