Chapter 126 It really happened that he was either sleeping on the table or chatting with Hou Xinxuan. The afternoon class went by very quickly for Xiao Tianming.
"I'll wait for you at the corner of the school gate." The bell rang, and Xiao Tianming said to Hou Xinxuan before leaving his seat.
Hou Xinxuan knew that Xiao Tianming did this to avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble, so she nodded obediently towards Xiao Tianming and packed up her things calmly. After many people walked out of the classroom, Hou Xinxuan slowly walked out of the classroom with her bag in hand.
Facts have proved that Xiao Tianming's approach is extremely correct. During the not-so-long distance from the classroom to the school gate, Xiao Tianming met Zhang Xian, Ouyang Xiong and Dongfang Yi. If they saw him and Hou Xinxuan walking together, he would have trouble explaining
.
Hou Xinxuan's speed was not slow. Xiao Tianming didn't have to wait long before Hou Xinxuan had already appeared at the school gate.
"Ms. Hou, where should we go to eat?" Xiao Tianming asked Hou Xinxuan with a smile.
"Let me first say that a high-end hotel like Wanfu Hotel is too expensive. As a poor student, I can't afford it. Apart from Wanfu Hotel, you can choose any other place." Hou Xinxuan said to Xiao Tianming with a smile, a pair of charming smiles on his face.
Dimple.
"How about we go to the cafeteria? It's nearby and not expensive, just right for poor students like us." Xiao Tianming said with a smile.
"I do think so. But if I really want to invite you to the cafeteria, it would be weird if you didn't say that I'm shabby behind my back." Hou Xinxuan rolled her eyes and said coquettishly, "How about we go to 'Xiang You Lai'? The home-cooked food there is good.
It’s not too expensive to eat.”
"No!" Hou Xinxuan's suggestion was rejected by Xiao Tianming as soon as it was put forward. Before Hou Xinxuan could ask why, Xiao Tianming continued, "I've just been there. Although the taste is really good, you will get tired of it after eating it for a long time. Still.
Let’s find another one.”
"I can't tell, you are quite picky." Hou Xinxuan rubbed her chin and thought for a while, then said to Xiao Tianming, "How about we go to Yutou Villa in the suburbs? They eat fish hotpot there, and all the fish used in the hotpot are
It’s fresh fish caught from the pond.”
"If you don't like fish, there are other dishes there. Roast chicken with bamboo shoots is very good." Hou Xinxuan continued.
"Okay, let's go there." Xiao Tianming nodded and agreed to Hou Xinxuan's suggestion. The reason why Xiao Tianming chose to go to Yutou Villa instead of "Xiang You Lai" was because of the taste of the food, and more importantly, Yutou Villa
In the suburbs, it is difficult to meet acquaintances.
It's just that man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation. Facts have proved that Xiao Tianming calculated very well, but God wanted to catch Xiao Tianming.
Xiao Tianming hailed a taxi from the roadside, took Hou Xinxuan into the car, and went straight to Yutou Villa.
Yutou Villa is on the outskirts of the city, a long way from "Tianyi Pavilion". The distance is long, so the fare is naturally expensive. The two got out of the car, Hou Xinxuan opened her handbag and was about to pay, but was blocked by Xiao Tianming on the side:
"You treat me to dinner and I'll pay the fare."
Hou Xinxuan smiled brightly at Xiao Tianming and did not stop Xiao Tianming from paying. In her opinion, a boy taking the initiative to pay the bill is not only a stipulated obligation, but also an inalienable right. If a boy is deprived of this right by a girl
, then their relationship has come to an end. Hou Xinxuan certainly does not want the relationship with Xiao Tianming to come to an end before it begins.
Although he felt that it was not worth paying so much for a meal, Xiao Tianming did not show any displeasure on his face. He quickly took out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket and handed it to the driver, and then asked the driver to find it.
Put the change back into your pocket.
"Looking at you, you seem to think the fare is a bit expensive?" Although Xiao Tianming did not deliberately show dissatisfaction, Hou Xinxuan, who was good at observing words and expressions, still saw some clues from Xiao Tianming's behavior.
Xiao Tianming did not evade, nodded slightly and admitted: "Yeah! I think it's a bit fussy for us to come all the way here just for a meal. The price of this meal is really high."
When Hou Xinxuan heard Xiao Tianming's words, she pursed her lips and smiled: "I can't tell that Xiao Shuai is actually an honest person."
"I am not an honest person, I can only say that I am a real person." Xiao Tianming said lightly.
"Real? It's really real!" Hou Xinxuan smiled faintly and said softly to Xiao Tianming: "When a real person is hungry, he will always find a way to fill his stomach first. I am hungry, but I don't know that you are hungry.
No?"
"Since we are hungry, let's go in." Xiao Tianming looked at the signboard "Yutou Villa" above his head, and walked in with Hou Xinxuan.
"Welcome!" Yutou Villa is very large, and the welcoming lady inside is also very enthusiastic. However, when Xiao Tianming and Hou Xinxuan entered, there were almost no empty seats on the huge site, and the enthusiastic waiters were so busy that no one paid attention.
to them.
Seeing this, Xiao Tianming shrugged helplessly and said to Hou Xinxuan, "It seems we came at the wrong time today."
"The business at Yutou Villa is better than I expected. If we had known earlier, we shouldn't have come here." Hou Xinxuan said sheepishly, with an apologetic look on his face.
"You don't have to say it first. There are many people but there are no seats. Look, isn't there another table there?" Xiao Tianming pointed to an empty table against the wall in the distance and said to Hou Xinxuan.
Hou Xinxuan had to admire Xiao Tianming's keen observation ability. As expected, there was an empty table there. A bright smile suddenly appeared on his disappointed face, and she said excitedly to Xiao Tianming: "Then let's go there quickly! If someone else robs us, we'll be there first."
It’s not good.”
Perhaps due to a moment of excitement, Hou Xinxuan couldn't help but hold Xiao Tianming's arm as she walked forward.
"I'm sorry, you two! This table has been reserved by other guests. Please wait a moment, I will go and register you two right away. If there are empty seats, I will come and call you." Xiao Tianming and Hou Xinxuan have just arrived.
Next to the empty seat, before they could sit down, they were stopped by the manager of the villa. Xiao Tianming and Hou Xinxuan looked at each other, and they could see dissatisfaction with the arrangement in each other's eyes.
"Excuse me, how long do we have to wait?" Hou Xinxuan asked the manager, with dissatisfaction in her tone.
"You can't tell for sure. It depends on which table has a customer leaving." The manager patiently explained for Hou Xinxuan.
"That is to say, if no one leaves for half an hour, we have to wait for half an hour; if no one leaves for two hours, we have to wait for two hours?" Hou Xinxuan said to the manager angrily with a livid face.
"You can say that. I'm really sorry. Our store is too small and cannot meet the needs of all customers. If we have affected your consumption, we are deeply sorry and ask for your forgiveness." Faced with Hou Xinxuan's accusation, the manager
He apologized with a smile on his face. Although he and the Villa cannot be blamed for this incident.
Hou Xinxuan wanted to shock the other party with a word and make the other party feel that she was not a good person. She achieved her goal. She slowly put away the anger on her face and said to the manager calmly: "You can't be entirely blamed for this. Who can
What if you don’t want your own business?”
The manager could not help but feel relieved when he heard that Hou Xinxuan did not make things too difficult for him. However, many years of experience in dealing with people told him that Hou Xinxuan was not an easy person to deal with, and he had to face more difficult things.
Sure enough, Hou Xinxuan immediately continued: "Manager, I would like to ask when the guests at this table will come?"
"I can't say for sure! I didn't specify the specific time when I made the reservation. You can come at any time. As long as it doesn't exceed seven o'clock, we have to reserve this table. Beauty, I'll find another one for you.
Just one table." The manager said with a wry smile.
"Find another table? Manager, you don't think we are children, are you bluffing? If you can find another table, then why did you ask us to wait for so long just now?" Hou Xinxuan's face immediately darkened when she heard the manager's words.
Go down.
"Beauty, I hope you can understand my difficulties. It's not that I don't want you to eat, I really have no choice." The manager said with a bitter smile.
Hou Xinxuan sneered and said: "Manager, we understand your difficulties, but you also want us to fill our stomachs, right? We have come all the way to your Yutou Villa, you can't let us go back with empty stomachs! In this way, I have an idea
, do you think it’s okay? Aren’t the guests who booked this table not here yet? Let’s first
Just wait until they come and we'll let them go. If they want, we can eat with them. I think they won't mind if there are two more people. The main reason why everyone goes out to eat is not to fill their stomachs.
But I want to eat in a good mood. Manager, I don’t think you will make your guests unhappy after eating, right?"
Faced with Hou Xinxuan's eloquent words, the manager was really moved by her. He just didn't dare to express his position easily due to his authority. If the guest who reserved this table has a good temper and doesn't mind eating with two strangers, then that's fine;
But if you meet a customer who has a bad temper and is very picky, wouldn't that mean your job is ruined? The word "embarrassment" is written all over the manager's face.
Just when the manager didn't know how to reply to Hou Xinxuan, his eyes suddenly lit up and he saw the guest who had booked this table walking over. The manager's face immediately showed a smile that would last for the rest of his life, and he said to Hou Xinxuan with a smile: "Beauty,
Your idea is good, but I really can't make the decision. The guests who booked this table are here, how about you talk to them in person? If they are willing, I will bring the fish to you immediately without saying anything."
"This slick manager is really cunning!" Hou Xinxuan made a mental evaluation of the manager, but asked: "Okay! I just don't know where they are?"
"Then, those are the two guests." The manager said to Hou Xinxuan.
Hou Xinxuan and Xiao Tianming followed the manager's gaze, their faces suddenly full of surprise.
"It can't be such a coincidence, right?" Xiao Tianming patted his forehead, his face as ugly as if he had eaten something dirty, which was in sharp contrast to the manager who was smiling happily at this moment.
