Zhou Xuemin kicked Li Chunmei under the table, signaling her to say a few nice words to calm her down.
Seeing that she was about to be pushed out again, Li Chunmei glared at Zhou Xuemin fiercely, thinking that he was going too far.
But she had no choice but to compromise. After all, she had a good relationship with Jianshu. The other two were both big men, so no one was more suitable than her to speak up.
"Cough cough~" Li Chunmei pretended to cough twice, one to clear her throat, and the other to attract Jianshu's attention.
The first goal was achieved, but the second failed. Jianshu only left them with the back of their heads, without even the slightest rotation.
The head that was held high and the round back of her head showed that she was still angry.
There was no other way. Under the expectant gazes of the two people beside her, Li Chunmei had to stretch out a finger and poke Jianshu's back, trying to get her attention.
But, it still failed.
Li Chunmei refused to admit defeat and poked again.
Keep failing!
Poke again!
Still failed!
stamp!
defeat!
…
…
After many times, Li Chunmei felt like she was going to poke a small hole in it, but Jianshu remained unmoved.
She felt like crying but had no tears. What was going on?
Feeling the contemptuous look from the opposite side, Li Chunmei couldn't help but glare at him. Her big and bright eyes seemed to speak: If you have the ability, do it yourself!
Seeing that Li Chunmei had failed countless times, Zhou Xuemin had completely lost hope in her. Receiving her provocative look, he replied: I'll do it, just watch!
"Comrade Xiao Jian, we didn't mean to let you order the food alone. We ordered because the meals you brought us every day these past few days were so delicious and suited our tastes so well. We thought that if someone else ordered something else, the dishes they ordered wouldn't be as good as yours."
Zhou Xuemin observed Jian Shu as he spoke. When he found that she was motionless and obviously listening attentively, a smile appeared on his face.
He continued, "Think about it. If Comrade Chunmei were to order the dishes, and she didn't know our tastes, what would she do? If she ordered randomly, maybe no one would like some of the dishes. If she ordered according to her own taste, that would be even worse."
Jianshu's head moved slightly.
"While we won't waste food and will finish it in the end, regardless of whether it tastes good or bad, there's still a difference between spending money on delicious food and spending money on bad food, right? With the latter, you'll finish the meal and spend the money, but you definitely won't be happy."
"So, ordering food is not an easy task. We can only feel at ease if we hand it over to you who has rich experience. Without you, we will definitely not enjoy this meal." Finally, Zhou Xuemin picked up another handful.
At this point, although Jianshu was still with his back to her, he was actually no longer angry.
Or rather, she wasn't that angry at first.
She was a little upset that they had all run away, leaving her alone. But after they realized their dishonesty and took action, even that little bit of annoyance disappeared.
The reason why it hasn't turned around is that it's just keeping them hanging.
She had just been struggling there for a long time, so it should be their turn to struggle now, right?
So even though he had a stern face, he was actually very happy inside.
That's right, Li Chunmei doesn't know how to poke people, but she sticks to one place and pokes hard, which makes you angry even if you are not angry.
Although she didn't bleed, she was definitely bruised.
Jianshu silently took note of her in his heart, which prolonged the time for him to calm down.
Only after Zhou Xuemin finished his flattering words did Jian Shu pretend to calm down and turn around. "Alright, I'll trust you for now. But I'm telling you, there can't be a next time. Tomorrow at dinner, you guys take turns ordering. I won't be in charge."
Humph, don't think that if you flatter her, she'll happily continue to be the one ordering food. The entanglement she just went through was enough for her, she didn't want to go through it again.
From now on, except for familiar restaurants, she will never be the one to order food anywhere else.
"Okay, okay, we'll take turns ordering tomorrow." At this moment, the three of them just wanted to calm her down and were willing to agree to anything.
Isn't it just ordering food? Just order.
As for whose turn it would be tomorrow? The three of them exchanged glances, and the air seemed to be filled with lightning and thunder, crackling and flashing sparks.
Then it all depends on your ability, and see who is the better one.
Jianshu turned a blind eye to their fight and said, "Let them fight, it has nothing to do with her anyway."
When the time comes, she can just lie down and eat the ready-made food.
After taking a sip of tea slowly, Jianshu felt in an extremely good mood.
After dinner, the four of them walked towards the guesthouse.
When they passed a movie theater on the way, Li Chunmei was a little tempted. She had never seen a movie outside of Shanghai before and didn't know what the difference was between the theaters in Shanghai and those in Beijing.
How about going in and watching a movie before going back?
However, when she caught a glimpse of Jianshu out of the corner of her eye, she immediately gave up the idea.
No, no, at least not today.
I just promised to go home and rest early to recharge my energy. If I ask to see a movie now, what will happen...
Thinking of how Jianshu had sprayed her so hard that she couldn't even lift her head, Li Chunmei suppressed the urge in her heart.
Never mind, I can watch the movie anytime. If it doesn't work today, I can watch it tomorrow night. If it still doesn't work tomorrow, I can just find a chance to watch it next time I'm on a business trip to Shanghai.
There will be plenty of time and opportunities in the future.
She should just go back to sleep. She doesn't want to be left in the guesthouse to sleep because she didn't get enough rest and was out of energy.
She finally had a whole day to herself, and she wanted to explore Shanghai properly. And if she didn't bring back the things her mother had asked her to buy, she would definitely be mad at her again.
Thinking of this, Li Chunmei hugged Jianshu's arm and quickened her pace.
She has to go back early, go to bed early and get more rest.
Jianshu didn't know what kind of emotional fluctuations Li Chunmei had experienced in this short period of time. Feeling her quickened pace, he just thought she was sleepy and wanted to go back to bed early, so he also quickened his pace to cooperate.
Zhou Xuemin and Li Heping, who were following behind him, didn't know the reason, but didn't say much and silently quickened their pace.
It would be better to go back early. The work is finished and I feel relieved, but the physical fatigue comes back.
This statement makes a lot of sense, especially after a meal when you feel sleepy due to excessive eating and drinking.
As they all walked quickly at the same time, the original half-hour journey was shortened to twenty minutes. When they arrived at the guesthouse, it was exactly 7:30.
Everyone wanted to rest early, so there was no excessive chatting. After saying hello, everyone went back to their rooms.
