Cheng Zijue originally wanted to stay a little longer, after all, it was the first time he saw the legendary woman, but a fierce glare successfully made him give up all thoughts.
Huo Beiting glared at Cheng Zijue fiercely and signaled him to leave quickly with his eyes.
Cheng Zijue pursed his lips, sighed, and left by making up an excuse.
Before leaving, she shook her cell phone at Huo Beiting with an ambiguous smile on her lips.
"It looks like you're doing pretty well at the company! Keep it up, maybe I can be your full-time wife in the future!"
After saying this, Yan Qing paused, her face suddenly flushed with embarrassment, and she turned her head away, pretending to look at the shops around her.
Huo Beiting was suddenly startled. After coming to his senses, he smiled faintly and took the initiative to change the subject.
"See if there's anything else you want to buy. I have quite a bit of spare cash now!"
Huo Beiting shook the card in his hand, and with a childish smile, he successfully made Yan Qing laugh.
Yan Qing hadn't originally planned to buy anything else. There was no shortage of clothes at home, and it was just a momentary impulse.
Yan Qing didn't want to break the current good atmosphere, so he made an excuse that he was hungry, and the two of them went to a restaurant instead.
On the way to the restaurant, Yan Qing suddenly smelled a fragrance. The smell was like a hook, which made her greedy.
He swallowed unconsciously, looked around, and successfully found the place.
He gently tugged at Huo Beiting's sleeve, licked the corner of his mouth and smiled.
Huo Beiting understood what was going on at a glance. He looked in the direction Yan Qing was heading and saw a skewers restaurant.
Huo Beiting frowned slightly. From the name, he had no idea what this store was about, and the smell coming from it was, well... a bit hard to describe.
"Let's go eat that! It smells delicious, and there are quite a lot of people in there, so it must be delicious!"
Yan Qing sucked his saliva again as he spoke. Huo Beiting was a little hesitant. The place didn't look clean, so he didn't really want to go over there.
"Let's go eat that, let's go!"
Yan Qing didn't give Huo Beiting a chance to speak and directly took his hand and led him to the store.
Before even entering the store, Huo Beiting sneezed uncomfortably. The smell here was simply too pungent!
Yan Qing was so focused on the skewers that she didn't notice anything unusual about Huo Beiting.
When they arrived at the place, Yan Qing called the waiter, took the menu and started ordering dishes. His familiar posture made it seem as if he often came to this kind of place.
"Did you come here often?"
Huo Beiting suddenly asked the question, and Yan Qing instantly thought that the original owner was a rich lady, who would not even look at such a place, so how could she be so skilled!
Yan Qing clapped his hands guiltily, unable to think of any excuse, so he decided to just give up.
"When I was in college, I would come here occasionally with my classmates. I didn't like it the first time, but once you try it, you'll know how good it is! I guarantee you'll want it every day!"
Yan Qing chuckled twice, then immediately lowered his head and quickly ordered a few dishes before handing the menu to Huo Beiting. "Take a look and see if there's anything you'd like to eat. I ordered a shabu-shabu hotpot, one with tomatoes and one with spicy sauce. Believe me, the tomato hotpot is amazing!"
Huo Beiting was completely confused when he looked at the menu.
He now knew that Yan Qing was a person who came from the bottom of society. He might not have eaten this kind of thing, but he would definitely know what it was. So Huo Beiting casually ordered two from the menu and gave them to the waiter.
"You're just going to eat these?"
"You ordered everything I wanted on the menu. Honestly, I haven't tried anything like that in ages. Coming here suddenly makes me miss my student days!"
Using this topic, Huo Beiting successfully turned Yan Qing's attention to her student days. The two did not drop the topic until the waiter brought all the dishes.
As soon as Yan Qing saw the long-lost delicacy appear in front of her, she couldn't wait to stretch out her chopsticks. The first one had to be fermented bean curd, which was a must-have for Chuan Chuan Xiang and her favorite. Unfortunately, Huo Beiting probably didn't like to eat this and had never made it.
Huo Beiting looked at the table full of dishes and felt a little unsure where to start. He held his chopsticks in the air for a long time before letting them fall. Like Yan Qing, the first thing he took with his chopsticks was tofu puff.
"Hey, I thought you didn't like this. We've never had it at home!"
Yan Qing seemed to have found a kindred spirit. She looked at Huo Beiting with sparkling eyes and excitedly picked up a lot of bean curd for him.
Huo Beiting looked at the white stuff in the bowl and swallowed silently.
He just didn't know what the process was, so he was just like Yan Qing...
For Huo Beiting, the taste of bean curd was hard to describe. It was sticky in his mouth, and the sour taste of tomatoes and various spices made him feel like vomiting.
Another thing that is hard to accept is that since we are all going to eat it, why do we have to use sticks to pick it all up? Moreover, there is only a little bit of food on each stick, which looks a bit pitiful.
The last point is that so many skewers are put into the same pot, so densely packed together, it makes people dizzy...
I looked up at Yan Qing. She was eating excitedly, and her face was flushed from the heat.
The food was so spicy that I would occasionally wipe my tears with the paper beside me. Why would I continue eating if I was already crying? Isn't this asking for trouble?
"Eat quickly! I'm almost done with everything in your pot!"
Yan Qing urged, successfully bringing Huo Beiting's thoughts back to reality.
Huo Beiting took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and casually took one out of the pot. He imitated Yan Qing's actions and used chopsticks to put the food on the skewer into the bowl, dipped it in the dipping sauce prepared by Yan Qing, and put it into his mouth with a fearless attitude.
Huo Beiting didn't even dare to taste the flavor carefully and swallowed it all whole.
"It seems like you really like it! I've finally found someone like me. You don't know, but everyone around me likes fancy things. They call things like this trash. How can something so delicious be called trash? They just don't know how to enjoy it!"
Yan Qing spoke of those people angrily, and Huo Beiting felt even more uneasy. He must be one of those people Yan Qing was talking about...
"...Next time you cook, don't think too much about it. Just make something ordinary. No need to make steak and pasta like before. It's okay for one time, but I really can't get used to it after a long time!"
Yan Qing had a sad face, and Huo Beiting felt a little uncomfortable as well.
He never knew that Yan Qing didn't like to eat those things at all, but actually liked this kind of, um... very down-to-earth food?
Huo Beiting nodded, thinking that he would look up the recipe when he got home to see how to make something like this.
