"Hey buddy, buy your girlfriend a flower. She's so pretty, even prettier than a flower."
Suddenly, a sweet and lovely little girl came over carrying a bunch of flowers. She had all sorts of ornamental bouquets in her arms, which looked almost exactly like real flowers.
"Little sister, she's just my friend." Su Qiluo's faint smile vanished immediately upon hearing the word "girlfriend," and he patiently explained to the little girl.
The little girl, oblivious to social cues, simply followed the script her mother had taught her, tilting her head adorably and saying, "You two look very well-matched, and this flower suits you too. Let's buy one."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun glanced at Su Qiluo, whose expression was not good.
"I bought the flowers, but you can't say that to everyone you meet. We're not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship." She picked up a champagne rose and spoke slowly.
Regardless of what they said, as soon as the little girl heard that Mu Qingyun wanted to buy, she immediately took out her QR code to pay, "Sister, it's thirty-five yuan a piece, please scan the code to pay directly."
Thirty-five yuan? That's expensive?
She frowned and glanced at Su Qiluo without making a sound, but the man just stood there blankly, not offering to pay for her, even though she had bought the takoyaki for him.
Ugh, really, she wouldn't misunderstand anything, and this guy isn't exactly a straight man, why is he going to go to such lengths?
"Come with me."
Su Qiluo watched her pay, and seemed to realize that something was wrong, so he walked to the side.
Mu Qingyun looked in the direction he was walking and saw a restaurant that looked very high-end.
Overjoyed and thinking that every penny saved counts, she immediately followed.
Following him, they turned east and west until they reached the back of the restaurant.
Behind the restaurant, there was a barbecue stall. There weren't many people there; besides the owner, there was only one table of customers.
"I'll treat you to dinner, order whatever you like." Su Qiluo casually found a table and sat down.
He originally intended to invite Yun Jie to a restaurant for dinner, but when he got to the entrance, he saw on the big screen that all the dishes being sold that night were couples' meals.
It seems like today is some kind of pink Valentine's Day.
Mu Qingyun didn't mind and sat down opposite him.
She could actually understand Su Qiluo quite well. In her previous life, she was ranked first on the list of husbands in the capital. Compared to today, the girls there were considered to be quite conservative in their thinking.
Even so, quite a few girls still do shocking and outrageous things in order to marry her and get her attention.
The sheer madness of it all startled even a seasoned veteran like her.
Su Qiluo's popularity here should be no less than hers in her previous life; there will only be more girls pursuing him, and their methods will only be more peculiar.
He probably doesn't have many female friends, so even if she's not the only one, she's definitely unique.
Perhaps he values her as a friend more than she does, which is why he deliberately keeps his distance from her and avoids doing anything that might cause her misunderstanding.
"You can order by scanning a QR code, which is more convenient."
The only waiter at the barbecue stall walked up to them and pointed to the code on the table.
Su Qiluo gave a casual reply, scanned the QR code with his phone, and the ordering page appeared. He handed the phone to her, saying, "Take a look and see what you want to eat."
Mu Qingyun nodded, reached out and took the phone, scrolled through the screen, and frowned when she saw the prices behind the dishes.
So expensive!
Looking at the menu, she was momentarily at a loss, wondering what she should order.
"The grilled fish here is delicious, would you like some?" Su Qiluo asked softly, seeing her hesitant expression.
However, Mu Qingyun "deeply loathed" the words "grilled fish." Thank you for the invitation, but she really didn't want to eat grilled fish anymore.
"Keep an eye on things, don't take the fish."
She handed the phone back and decided to wait quietly for her meal.
Taking the phone, Su Qiluo ordered several of the most expensive dishes besides the fish. After submitting the order, she put the phone away and took off her sunglasses and mask.
"I haven't asked you where you live, what you do for a living, why you went to that desolate place by yourself, and why you were..." He didn't finish his sentence, but there were other people around, so Mu Qingyun understood.
"I have no home, I'm an orphan, and I'm currently running a stall. I can't say anything else." Mu Qingyun stared blankly in the direction of the kitchen, replying to Su Qiluo's words.
orphan?
Su Qiluo frowned. She didn't have a home yet, so where would she live?
He glanced up at Mu Qingyun, who was lost in thought, then silently took out his phone and ordered a few more dishes.
Where do you live?
"I don't want to talk about it." Resting her chin on her hand, she glanced at Su Qiluo but didn't answer the question.
"Would you like to come to the military academy with me? I can arrange a dormitory for you. Yi Beixuan lives in the dormitory too. You know him. I can arrange for you to be next to him." Su Qilu thought for a moment and then asked softly.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun pulled her hand off her chin and looked at Su Qiluo seriously, "Why are you helping me like this? Don't you have someone you like? Aren't you afraid that person will be jealous?"
"As long as you don't overthink it, he shouldn't be jealous." Thinking of the decisive and tough Mu Ge, Su Qiluo couldn't help but chuckle softly.
He probably wouldn't be jealous of a girl.
"..." Seeing Su Qiluo's lovestruck expression, Mu Qingyun didn't know what to say.
What kind of girl did Su Qiluo meet that she had him completely under her thumb, mentioning him constantly even when she wasn't around?
"Well, she's... doing well." With that, she picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip.
People say that when you're so embarrassed you don't know what to do, you should drink water. Well, that's absolutely true.
"Hmm." Hearing the praise, Su Qiluo's smile widened, and she gave a rather shy "hmm".
Sure enough, people in love are foolish.
With a "snap," Su Qiluo and Mu Qingyun both looked toward the source of the sound.
The waiter stared at Su Qiluo in shock. On the floor were broken plates and scattered food.
"Xiao Zhang, what are you doing? How can you do this job!" The barbecue stall owner came out holding a bottle of liquor, cursing and glaring angrily at the waiter.
"Su, Su, Su..." Xiao Zhang's mouth trembled, and he kept repeating the word "Su" for a long time without finishing the sentence.
"Su what? I'm telling you, you'd better pay for all the losses!" The barbecue stall owner yelled at Xiao Zhang, then turned to look at Su Qiluo.
However, the moment he saw Su Qiluo, his hand trembled, and he lost his grip, causing the wine bottle to fall to the ground and smash into the broken pieces of the plate, turning into new shards.
The wine was spilled all over the floor, mixing with the food and emitting a strange smell.
The only two tables of guests only glanced at the sound when it was first heard, without looking closely.
Now that they've had a second chance at love, the young couple had no choice but to turn their heads and look at Su Qiluo and the others.
