Xihai is a coastal city rich in seafood, so that night, the group of leaders dined at a seafood restaurant.
This restaurant is not very high-end, but it is famous far and wide because the restaurant is located near the harbor, with the right time and location, good quality and low price.
This meal was hosted by the chairman of the organizing committee, and leaders of the municipal party committee were also present. Mr. Louis was undoubtedly the distinguished guest, and Guan Shouheng accompanied him personally. Mint was also invited to attend.
A group of more than ten people requested a private room with a sea view.
Although it is already evening and the scenery outside can no longer be seen, listening to the sound of the waves and feeling the breath of the sea breeze is still refreshing.
The round dining table is filled with all kinds of seafood, including steaming, cooking and frying. There is also a baking pan in the middle of the round table, so diners can do it themselves and enjoy the fun of DIY.
Mr. Lewis enthusiastically pulled Mint to sit next to him, like a loving father. Mint felt particularly warm in his heart.
Guan Shouheng sat on the other side of him, listening to Louis chattering to her about his son. The more he listened, the more uncomfortable he became.
"Mr. Lewis, your barbecue is ready." Guan Shouheng seemed to be reminding him, but in fact he was interrupting.
"Oh? So fast!" Mr. Lewis was pleasantly surprised. He picked up a crab with small iron tongs and put it into a mint dinner plate.
"Mr. Lewis..." Mint was flattered and quickly wanted to refuse, but the other party did not give her a chance to refuse and said enthusiastically, "Miss Bo, you eat first. My son said that no matter when and where, he will eat."
Show the gentlemanly demeanor of a French man!”
Mr. Louis still talks about his son Henry.
Mint smiled shyly, "Thank you, Mr. Lewis."
"You're welcome, you're welcome, that's right! What I'm doing today can only be regarded as...well, you have an idiom in China called...borrowing from the Buddha..."
"Borrow flowers to offer to Buddha?" someone prompted.
"Yes, yes! Borrow flowers to offer to Buddha!" Mr. Louis finally remembered and continued with a smile, "Miss Bo, I will treat this meal as borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha. When you have the opportunity to go to France in the future, I will treat you well again!"
I have a manor in the suburbs of Paris, and we will go there for a picnic! Don’t worry, Henry’s cooking skills are very good, you can eat whatever you want!”
Guan Shouheng secretly grinded his teeth.
But everyone else laughed and said jokingly, "Hey, Mr. Louis, are you too anxious? You want to abduct our Chinese girl to your France to be your wife so soon?"
"That's right, this is too impatient!"
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!"
Everyone was laughing and joking.
"Tofu?" Mr. Lewis was very curious and didn't know what it was.
Mint had no choice but to explain, "Tofu is a traditional Chinese food that has been around since the Han Dynasty. Today, it has a history of more than 2,100 years. It is made from black beans, soybeans, white beans, peas, peanuts and mung beans.
Can be used for crafting.”
Mr. Lewis was stunned for a moment after hearing this, feeling very magical.
"Miss Bo, I hear you saying that tofu is a delicacy, right? Then when there is a chance, when Henry comes to China, can you treat him to a meal of tofu?" Mr. Lewis asked expectantly.
Mint is simply ridiculous. Eat a meal of tofu? How can anyone talk like that?
Although she knew that Mr. Lewis did not mean to be rude at all, such words still made people feel uncomfortable!
"Uh..." She hesitated in embarrassment.
"Ahem..." Guan Shouheng cleared his throat in displeasure and said, "Mr. Lewis, in addition to tofu, China also has many delicacies, such as pork head meat!"
Mint's mouth twitched, what was he talking about?
Guan Shouheng acted as if nothing had happened and explained pork head meat to Louis with great interest.
How could Louis, a foreigner who knew so much, actually listen seriously?
Mint glanced at Guan Shouheng secretly and couldn't help but mutter in her heart, when did he become so sinister?
Guan Shouheng glanced out of the corner of his eye and caught her peeking at her, his handsome eyebrows raised slightly.
Mint quickly looked away, lowered her head and fought hard with the crabs on the plate.
But God knows she is the last person to handle this kind of thing. She used to be unwilling to peel shrimps herself, let alone crabs.
What a hassle!
"Miss Bo, why don't you eat?" Mr. Lewis noticed something strange about her.
Mint shook his head quickly, "Nothing, I'm just waiting for it to cool down a little."
Mr. Louis thought about it for a moment and seemed to understand her dilemma, but he didn't know how to do this kind of thing. The most common food people eat in France is foie gras.
"Hey, it would be great if Henry were here. He is very skillful and very helpful!" Louis began to praise his son vigorously again.
"Then he must have inherited your merits, Mr. Lewis." Mint responded politely.
"He's much better than me! Don't you have a saying in China called...what's green and what's blue?"
"You're better than the old!" someone next to me reminded me.
"Oh, yes, that's it!" Mr. Lewis's eyes lit up, and he turned to Mint and said, "Miss Bo, Henry is better than his master!"
Mint nodded shyly and smiled.
"Mr. Lewis..." Guan Shouheng couldn't help but interrupt, "There is an old saying in China, which is that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead!"
The back wave beat the front wave to death on the beach!
Of course, he could only say this in his heart.
"Oh? What does that mean?" Mr. Lewis asked curiously.
"It means..." Guan Shouheng explained with a smile.
But Mint narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling that the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to be malicious.
Guan Shouheng suddenly raised his eyes and caught her peeking again.
Mint's face turned red, and she quickly picked up the cup and took a sip of the drink.
There was an LCD TV hanging on the wall on one side of the box, which was playing pop music VCR. She pretended to watch it, but the more she watched, the more interesting it became, and she didn't look away for a long time.
Louis talked with Guan Shouheng from time to time. Although Guan Shouheng usually didn't talk much and didn't like to socialize, he was very patient today and answered all the doubts raised by Louis in detail.
Mint looked at the screen silently. The beautiful TV picture made her couldn't help but smile. The faint smile on the corner of her mouth was so quiet, yet so beautiful.
Time can change many things, such as age, appearance, experience, etc., but things in a person's bones will not change easily. This is the case with Mint. Even if her situation is not as good as before, even if she has been living a very difficult life for the past ten years, she
The temperament from the inside out has not disappeared, it is still so quiet, yet so dazzling.
Finally, after the VCR of a song was played, Mint slowly came back to his senses and turned his attention back to the dining table.
But when he lowered his head, he discovered that the crab on his plate had been completely taken care of!
Who did it?
She raised her eyes suspiciously and saw Guan Shouheng wiping his hands with a paper towel, and there was a pile of crab shells piled in the garbage plate on his left.
What's even more incredible is that while talking to Mr. Louis, he said harmlessly, "Mr. Louis, if there is a chance in the future, I must meet Henry to see who of us is better at craftsmanship? Let's compare notes together!"
"
Mr. Lewis didn't know the details and readily agreed, "Okay, okay, no problem!"
Mint sympathizes deeply in her heart.
"Miss Bo, please eat it quickly while it's hot!"
"...Okay, thank you Mr. Louis, thank you...Mr. Guan." Mint said in embarrassment.
His behavior reminded her of the past, when they used to eat together, he would take care of her in this way, peeling shrimps and other things cleanly for her.
Although she could do it, she found it troublesome, and he did it quickly and well, so she couldn't help but want to rely on him.
In fact, she had eaten all the expensive steaks and the best seafood, but before she met him, no one had pampered her so much.
Chefs in six-star hotels and maids at home can prepare delicacies, but no one will be so considerate to her.
"How does it taste?" Louis asked eagerly.
The mint feels fresh and tender on the tip of the tongue. The crab must be top-notch, but the taste... is a bit complicated.
"It's delicious!" She felt an indescribable taste in her mouth.
Mint quickly lowered her eyes to hide her emotions for fear of losing control.
Guan Shouheng's dark eyes also flashed with a hint of unbearable emotion.
"If it's delicious, eat more, and I'll bake one for you!" Mr. Lewis said enthusiastically.
"Dong dong——" The waiter knocked on the door and brought cold beer.
In fact, you should not drink beer when eating seafood, because seafood contains purine substances, and the rich vitamin b1 in beer is an important catalyst for purine metabolism. When the two meet, they will produce too much uric acid, which can cause gout. Uric acid
Too much will be deposited in joints or soft tissues, causing inflammation of joints and soft tissues.
But Mr. Louis didn't think it mattered, because on their way to the restaurant, they passed by some food stalls by the sea. Many people in the food stalls were doing this, eating meat and drinking wine. Louis felt that it was eye-opening, so he called again.
Waiter added.
"Please use it, everyone." The waiter opened a few bottles of beer and left politely.
"Miss Bo, come here, let me toast you!" Mr. Lewis felt very good about the combination of eating seafood and drinking beer.
Mint really couldn't laugh or cry. Mr. Louis lives in the wine kingdom, and he doesn't really like beer that much, so he just wants to be fresh, so he doesn't drink too much. And on such occasions, it's hard for her to say anything, just
Can raise a glass.
"Mr. Lewis, you're welcome, I should be the one to toast you with this glass." She raised her glass politely and drank the beer.
Louis appreciated her generosity and praised, "Miss Bo, you have a good drinker! Come on, let's have another drink!"
Mint had no choice but to drink another glass.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Lewis became more and more interested, and came one cup after another, "Come on, Miss Bo, have another cup! Today's media meeting is really thanks to you! I must thank you very much!"
Mint just wanted to cry without tears. Lewis was too enthusiastic now and couldn’t bear it!
"Mr. Lewis, let me have a drink with you." Guan Shouheng stepped forward.
"Oh, that's fine, let's drink together!"
Mint and Guan conserve both black lines.
Mr. Lewis still smiled.
Facts have proved that the thinking of the Chinese and the French is indeed different.
Therefore, Mint was still embarrassed to put down the wine glass, because Mr. Lewis was kind and she was really grateful for his appreciation of her, so she could only let him enjoy himself.
However, Mr. Lewis's attention was diverted a lot from the conservation of drinking, and she secretly stopped drinking if she could.
Although Mr. Louis is French, he likes Chinese culture very much, and he is full of praise for the delicious seafood in Xihai. In his interest, he also learned a few weird Chinese sentences, which made everyone laugh.
For a time, the private room was filled with people drinking and drinking, and the atmosphere was very good.
Overall, the meal was very enjoyable, but at the end, Mint couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.
It wasn't because she was drunk, but it might have been a reaction between the seafood and the beer, and she felt uncomfortable all over.
The group of people left the box, and she walked a little slower.
This meal was considered a public expense. The chairman of the organizing committee paid for it and the restaurant owner issued an invoice. Fortunately, it was not very expensive, but it was a very enjoyable meal.
After we had had enough wine and food, the dinner party was about to end. When we came, we all came together, but when we came back, we naturally had to go separately, so Mint left alone.
"Miss Bo, will you take my car?" Louis said proactively.
"No, if you're not on your way, you can go first." Mint declined quickly. Mr. Lewis stayed in a certain hotel. Although the hotel provided a car and driver, the location of the hotel was completely different from that of the small attic. How could she bother to bother her?
people.
"Is that so? Then I'll ask the driver to take you off first!" Louis said without fear of trouble.
"It's really no need..."
"Where does Miss Bo live?" Guan Shouheng asked knowingly.
"...Daxi Road." Bo Bo paused and then gave the address.
"Then it's your way with me. I'll take you back." Guan Shouheng decided on his own initiative.
Mint quickly refused, "No, Mr. Guan, you've been drinking too, I'll just take a taxi back."
"How can that be done? It's so dark, and it's too unsafe for you to take a taxi alone. And you also said that I'm drunk and can't drive, so why don't we take a taxi together, which can save fares."
Guan Shouheng's words are even better than his singing.
Mint's forehead felt a dull pain, and he didn't know whether it was from drinking or because he was angry.
"Okay, okay, that's it, Guan Yi, you send Miss Bo back, otherwise we won't worry." The leader of the organizing committee said, protecting the safety of the staff is also their responsibility.
"Okay." Guan Shouheng smiled and nodded.
Mint bit her lip in annoyance.
But there was no other way. In the end, she had no choice but to get into the taxi with him.
The two of them sat in the back seat together. With his joining, the space immediately became smaller, and she moved uncomfortably towards the window.
"To Daxi Road." Guan Shouheng said to the driver in a deep voice.
The driver immediately started the engine and the car moved forward slowly.
The distance is very long, even taking a taxi takes a long time, and I feel more and more uncomfortable during the journey.
She has attended various banquets with her parents since she was a child, so her drinking capacity is not bad. She only drank a few glasses of beer tonight, so she is not drunk, but her whole body feels uncomfortable, indescribably uncomfortable.
She closed her eyes subconsciously, thinking that she would be fine after taking a rest.
As the car went further and further away, her sleepiness became more and more intense, and she gradually fell asleep without realizing it.
His head fell to his side unconsciously.
Guan Shouheng tilted his head and looked down. A faint smell of shampoo entered his nose. It smelled good, fresh and refreshing.
After staying in Paris for so long, he naturally knew about the world-famous Chanel No. 5, but he felt that the smell of her body was better than all perfumes.
His strong and powerful arms hugged the woman next to him tightly.
Mint was dazed, feeling a tightness in her waist, and she let out a protest, but then she felt like there was a big pillow, so comfortable!
She unconsciously moved closer to his warm embrace.
The taxi drove for who knows how long. A man and a woman in the back seat hugged each other. Their figures were reflected on the car window, and the neon lights outside the window were so bright.
After a long time, the car finally arrived at Daxi Road, and the driver had to ask, "Sir, we're here."
Guan Shouheng lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms. She was still sleeping.
Ying Ting frowned slightly, call her? Or not?
Just when he was in trouble, Mint woke up in a daze. When she woke up, she found herself lying on his shoulder. She felt embarrassed and quickly sat up straight.
But she didn't know whether it was because she exerted too much force, but she felt a pain all over her body.
"What's wrong with you?" Guan Shouheng noticed something was wrong with her.
"...It's okay." Mint said bravely, but his expression was extremely painful.
Guan Shouheng made a decisive decision and said to the driver, "Go to the hospital!"
