Probably because Huo Jinxi was dressed too conspicuously, and Mu Qian was too flamboyant. Even though they were sitting in a corner, there were still many eyes on them.
The waiter who came to place the order for the two of them also looked at the two of them again and again with a curious smile. Fortunately, Huo Jinxi turned to himself and didn't care, and Mu Qian was used to being looked at.
I flipped through the menu without looking up and ordered seven or eight dishes.
Most of what she ordered was seafood. After the waiter finished writing her order, she looked at Huo Jinxi again, "Sir, do you need anything else?"
Huo Jinxi frowned slightly and knocked on the table, signaling him to put down the menu.
The waiter immediately handed him the order menu in his hand. Huo Jinxi took the pen and crossed out seven of the eight dishes, leaving only one casserole white porridge, and then handed it to the waiter.
"Hey!" Mu Qian immediately reached out to grab the order, "Why did you cross out my order!"
The waiter looked at the order in his hand and was shocked, "Just... want a pot of white porridge?"
"of course not!"
"yes."
Two voices sounded at the same time. The waiter looked at Huo Jinxi and then at Mu Qian.
Mu Qian said: "Place the order according to the dishes I just ordered, and the seafood will be selected for me in large sizes!"
Huo Jinxi didn't speak, he just raised his eyes and glanced at the waiter.
The waiter felt cold at his cold gaze, took the order and turned around to leave.
Twenty minutes later, only one casserole and white porridge appeared on the table in front of the two of them.
Mu Qian was silent for more than ten seconds facing the white porridge in front of her, and then looked up at him, "Huo Jinxi, it's weird enough for you to be sitting here dressed like this! Now we only ordered this one portion of white porridge, why don't you
Does it feel weirder?"
"You said you wanted to drink porridge." Huo Jinxi sat motionless in his chair and replied expressionlessly.
"What's wrong with eating some seafood?" Mu Qian pointed to the table next to her and deliberately raised her voice, "Look at how fresh the seafood is and how fragrant it is! You are dressed so well, but you are so stingy. A portion of seafood
I can’t bear to buy it for others to eat!”
Suddenly many eyes were turned around, but Huo Jinxi just looked at Mu Qian calmly.
The table next to me happened to have a dish of salt and pepper shrimps. One of the men, about forty years old, smiled and brought the dish to Mu Qian, "Beauty, don't be angry, please eat."
"Okay, okay, thank you." Mu Qian couldn't help being happy and reached out to take the plate.
Huo Jinxi raised his eyes, glanced at the person coolly, and said, "Sir, the woman in front of you has a fever and acute gastroenteritis. If she goes to the hospital after eating this plate of seafood, is it okay?
Are you responsible?"
When the man heard this, his face froze, and the next moment he reached out and took back the shrimp that he had given away, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
The man returned to his dining table awkwardly, while Mu Qian looked at Huo Jinxi silently for a moment, then finally picked up the spoon and started eating the pot of porridge as if resigned to her fate.
But just after taking a bite, she stopped. After quietly savoring it for a moment, she said, "On average, it's not as delicious as my father's."
Huo Jinxi didn't expect that she would suddenly mention Mu Huaian, but he still just looked at her quietly.
"My father used to make white porridge, which was very good, thick and smooth." A smile appeared on Mu Qian's face, "At that time, his friends always said that his hands were not only used for drawing, but also for painting.
There is only porridge left. Why do you think he learned to cook porridge?"
The answer to this question was so obvious that Huo Jinxi didn't bother to guess.
"Well, because my mother likes to drink white porridge." Mu Qian said, "She was young and beautiful at that time, and her food was always so light, just like a fairy in the sky. My father really loved her, so he specially
I went to learn such a craft...I have eaten white porridge in many restaurants, but none of them is as delicious as my father's. It's a pity that I can never eat it again..."
After saying that, she put a big spoonful of white porridge into her mouth and ate it hard.
Halfway through eating, she suddenly remembered something, looked at Huo Jinxi, squinted her eyes slightly and smiled, "Isn't this kind of love desirable? If a man is willing to learn a dish specifically for me, I will
, I will definitely love him to death!”
Huo Jinxi listened quietly, stretched out his hand and took the spoon from her hand, "That's enough."
"What for?" Mu Qian was dissatisfied, "It's okay if we only let people drink white porridge, and they only drink half of the white porridge?"
"I don't want you to vomit on my bed in the middle of the night." Huo Jinxi said expressionlessly, then called the waiter, "Pay the bill."
After Huo Jinxi paid, the waiter watched the two of them leave with a strange look.
Mu Qian sighed and walked out of the restaurant and said, "It's over, they're off work today, and they might decide how to arrange you! You don't want to give a big tip, after all, you are a respectable person, and you should always think about your own image."
Huo Jinxi walked to the car, stopped, and turned around, "What other people think is their business, I don't care."
Mu Qian hummed twice and got into the car.
After returning to the apartment, Mu Qian naturally walked into the bathroom in the bedroom to take a shower. Huo Jinxi ignored her and used the bathroom outside.
By the time he finished taking a shower, Mu Qian hadn't come out yet.
Women always take a long time to take a shower. Huo Jinxi didn't care and took the computer to check his emails.
After he checked and replied to nearly two days of emails, Mu Qian still didn't come out.
Huo Jinxi suddenly stood up and walked into the bedroom, went to the bathroom door and knocked on the door.
no respond.
Huo Jinxi immediately opened the door and entered.
In the bathroom, Mu Qian put headphones on her head and lay motionless by the bathtub with her eyes closed.
Huo Jinxi quickly stepped forward and took off the headphones from her head, "Mu Qian?"
Mu Qian suddenly opened her eyes.
"What's wrong?" She said innocently, "Do you want to use the bathtub?"
Huo Jinxi looked at her with a stern look, turned around and prepared to go out.
"Hey -" Mu Qian suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute!"
Huo Jinxi turned back to look at her. She was lying on the side of the bathtub looking at him as if asking for help, "I've been in the bath for too long and I have no strength left. Please pick me up..."
Huo Jinxi's forehead twitched faintly. After a moment, he turned around, stood by the bathtub and looked at her condescendingly for a while, and finally reached out and took her out of the bathtub full of bubbles.
Then, he carried her to the shower area, turned on the shower head, and rinsed the foam off her body.
Mu Qian couldn't stand very well, so he put his arm around her with one hand and poured water over her with the other hand.
Mu Qian leaned against him and clearly noticed that the man's breathing and body were in the same tense state in front of her.
"Your nightgown is all wet." Mu Qian suddenly said, "Do you want to take it off and take a shower again?"
