The last time they went to the coffee shop, she asked for a cup of hot cocoa and mentioned this incident in passing.
However, Yun Qiao has never been addicted to anything, and his liking is also light. It is not just this kind of thing anytime and anywhere.
She eats cake and also eats other flavors.
It was already past dinner time. Yun Qiao was originally wary of Xu Yinjie and was not very hungry; now after eating a small piece of cake, her appetite was whetted and she became a little unbearable.
She glanced outside: "Are we here?"
Xi Lanting: "It's still early, we haven't crossed the bridge yet."
Yun Qiao almost forgot that they were in Hedong New Town and it would take at least half an hour to drive across the bridge.
Once you cross the bridge, you'll be home soon.
"Are you hungry?" Xi Lanting looked her over.
The carriage was dim, and a few rays of light from the street lamp occasionally shone in, then quickly retreated. The night wind came in, bringing a little coolness, which relieved the heat.
Xi Lanting felt cold all over.
"A bit. What's the matter with this cake? The more I eat, the hungrier I get." Yun Qiao said truthfully.
Xi Lanting did not answer her words, but said to the driver: "Find a restaurant nearby and have some food."
Only then did Yun Qiao notice that the person driving today was not Xi Zun or Xi Rong, but Xi Shuangfu.
She didn't object.
The car soon stopped in front of a restaurant.
It's a western restaurant.
There are many such Western-style restaurants and foreign stores on the east bank of the river, which is the most fashionable and luxurious place in Yancheng. Even the roads here are wider than those on the west bank of the river.
Xi Lanting asked her: "Are you used to eating French cuisine?"
"Well enough."
He got off the bus by himself.
This time, he didn't come over to open the door for Yun Qiao. Instead, the driver quickly got out of the car and opened it for Yun Qiao.
Xi Lanting walked up the steps first.
A uniformed waiter greeted you at the door with a courteous and respectful attitude.
Yun Qiao followed quickly.
The light in the restaurant is dim and dim, with a nice fragrance floating around; the sound of a piano not far away is melodious and ethereal.
The lights were not turned on, but a few small candles were placed on each table. The candlelight was faint, and a somewhat ambiguous atmosphere filled the air.
Yun Qiao sat down, and the waiter brought tea and a small white jade vase with a bright rose in it.
"...This restaurant is trying too hard. I wish I could organize a wedding for the men and women who come to eat." Yun Qiao couldn't help complaining.
The atmosphere is heightened everywhere.
Xi Lanting's expression was indifferent and he didn't answer her joke. He lowered his head and took a sip of water, then opened the menu handed to him by the waiter.
The menu has a black background and gilded characters, which is another kind of luxury. Xi Lanting's fingers are too white, and when they fall on the menu, they are very distinct.
After he finished reading, he called the waiter and ordered portions for two people without asking Yun Qiao what he wanted to eat.
"The food should be served quickly." After he finished ordering, he said to the waiter.
The waiter said yes.
Yun Qiao thought this was just a casual instruction. Unexpectedly, the food was served really quickly.
The tables next to them had obviously arrived earlier than them, but no food was served.
"Does the waiter in the restaurant know you?" Yun Qiao asked.
Xi Lanting is drinking.
He held the goblet and pointed his eyes far away at the door. Yun Qiao followed his gaze and turned back, seeing Xi Shuangfu finding a seat and just sitting down.
It was he who went to the kitchen to explain.
Yun Qiao ate a chocolate cake and two pieces of bread before dinner. Although the roasted lamb chops in front of her were very tender, she still couldn't eat them after two pieces.
"Isn't it delicious?" Xi Lanting asked.
Yun Qiao: "I'm full."
Xi Lanting handed over the steak in front of her and exchanged it with hers: "Try this of mine. If you say you want to eat, then it will be delicious. Don't always treat other people's kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs."
Yun Qiao raised her head in surprise.
Xi Lanting looked back at her, his dark eyes bottomless under the dim light, his expression colder than ever before.
