Just in time for the evening rush hour, the journey that was supposed to take half an hour took more than an hour.
However, this also created more space for them to chat. When they came to Dadong, their relationship was obviously much closer.
Lao Liu helped me book the location. You have to make a reservation to eat duck, but there is no one left.
After announcing their names, the greeter took them to the private room and presented them with two menus.
"The scheduled roast duck will be served first. The duck rack will make soup, and then there will be a hawthorn foie gras and a fried shrimp ball. What are the seasonal signatures of this season?"
Gao Bin didn't even look at the menu, he just opened his mouth and started ordering. He was already a gourmet at first glance.
"Sir, this season we have Jiangxue Sweet and Sour Short Ribs."
"I don't want this, there are sour and sweet dishes."
"How about black truffle, yam and abalone?"
"Okay, this is a bit nutritious. Let's have a portion of this, red beans. What else do you want to eat? Order two more?"
"I think it's okay? There's enough, I can't finish it!"
Gao Bin shook his head:
"The portions of their dishes are not large, but they are very delicate. Don't worry, you can eat as much as you can. I will be the one who can't finish it."
"Um, okay, let's have another one..."
She flipped through the menu for a while and added a dish of seasonal vegetables and freshly squeezed juice. The price was not expensive. She was indeed a sensible girl.
The waiter repeated it again, and after confirming that the taboos were correct, he bowed and exited the box.
"You seem to come to their house for dinner often?" Xu Hongdou asked curiously, holding her cheek.
"It's okay. I mainly come here when I invite foreign guests. They prefer to eat something unique, and roast duck is also a representative one."
Xu Hongdou nodded slightly and stuck out the tip of his tongue:
"Their food is so expensive that my best friend and I haven't dared to eat it for a long time."
Gao Bin laughed:
"Then do you want to take a photo to satisfy her?"
"Is that okay?" Xu Hongdou became interested.
Sure enough, they are plastic sisters, they are so annoying that they don’t pay for their lives.
"Of course, take a few more photos and tell your suitor to treat you to a feast."
Xu Hongdou couldn't help but burst out laughing. Her gums were so wide. Sure enough, fairies also have weaknesses.
Gao Bin didn't dislike it, he just found it interesting.
"Then she's going to be so angry. I'm such a good friend, so I can't make her so angry."
After Xu Hongdou smiled, she took her mobile phone to adjust the filter and prepared to take pictures.
"I can see that you have a very good relationship with your best friend."
"Yes, her name is Nan Xing, and she is my best and only friend in this city."
"I see, then do you want to ask where she is? If you don't mind, come over and eat together?"
"Ah? Isn't this bad?"
"What's wrong? I'll be the host and treat your best friend to dinner. Just treat it like meeting your parents in advance."
Xu Hongdou was already used to Gao Bin's method of hitting snakes and rolled up. She rolled her eyes at him, but didn't correct him and called him directly on vx.
"Nanxing Nanxing, my suitor is treating me to a big dinner, why don't you come and dine at the big family?"
Less than three seconds after the voice was sent, a video request was sent directly from the other side.
Xu Hongdou panicked and hung up immediately.
Gao Bin was speechless:
"What's going on? Am I so shameless?"
"No, no, I am, that, isn't it appropriate to meet now?"
Yes, I thought she would dare to love and hate, but I didn’t expect that she was quite timid at the critical moment.
Gao Bin felt more and more that this girl was a bit cute, so he grabbed her cell phone and dialed back.
The other party will be connected in seconds:
"Red...ah!!! Who are you?"
The girl on the other side was yelling. Looking at the background, she should be in a hotel room.
"Hello, I heard from Hongdou that your name is Nan Xing, and my name is Gao Bin, and I am Hongdou's suitor."
"Ah!!!"
What's wrong with this girl? Why is she always yelling?
Gao Bin put the phone away, his eardrums were about to be shattered.
Xu Hongdou couldn't see anymore. She covered her face with her hands and lay on the table. Her body was completely red.
"You are so cool, you are so straightforward."
"It's not a crime to like her, what can't you say? I'm glad to meet you, and now I solemnly extend an invitation to you. Do you want to come to Da Dong for dinner? I'll treat you!"
Gao Bin asked.
"What a pity. I want to go, but now I am on a business trip. I can't go back until four days later. I have to rush to report when I get back. Ah!!! What should I do? I want to eat roast duck!"
Nan Xing was performing there alone, Xu Hongdou couldn't hold it back, grabbed the phone, and said with a fierce face:
"Chen Nanxing, please calm down, I've lost all my face."
"Haha, my little Hongdou, you better obey me. I think brother Gao Bin is a good person, why not give it a try?"
"If you want to try, try, don't risk me!"
"Really? Are you sure? If you don't want it, then I will!"
Xu Hongdou just made a joke and got Gao Bin involved.
"Take it, take it, take it quickly."
"Hehe, I'm kidding, how can I steal my best friend's boyfriend? You can just eat the roast duck in peace, and remember to eat more for me! Okay, I'm going to eat too, you guys have a good time.
”
After saying that, I hung up the phone without giving anyone any time to respond.
Xu Hongdou really turned into a "red" bean, redder than a cooked crab. She put down her phone and kept fanning herself to cool down.
"Your bestie is quite interesting."
Xu Hongdou glared at him:
"What do you mean?"
Gao Bin surrendered with both hands:
"Don't get me wrong, it's just a compliment, I still like you."
"Go away! You have no serious words to say!"
Come on, after Chen Nanxing made such a fuss, the relationship between Gao Bin and Xu Hongdou got closer. It was a divine assist.
She silently decided to treat Chen Nanxing to roast duck when she came back, two roast ducks!
Both of them devoured this meal with great enthusiasm, stuffing all the dishes into their appetites.
Firstly, the portion is really not big, and secondly, Gao Bin can really eat it.
However, Xu Hongdou's appetite is also unpredictable, just like the fairy sister's clothes. The prince of hell has to cry for a while after looking at it.
After eating and drinking, we paid the bill and left. However, both of them were a little too tired to walk. It would be a shame to sit back in the car now.
It happened that the restaurant was located near the Workers' Stadium, so Gao Bin asked:
"Would you like to sit down at a bar and eat before going home?"
"Okay, but what about your car?"
"Let's go back and find a driver, small case."
"Okay, let's go then?"
The two of them were riding the night wind, and there were a lot of pedestrians on the road. Gao Bin had been protecting Xu Hongdou from the outside, which made her pay attention to details very useful.
This man seems really good!
Love comes too fast like a tornado, and a good marriage will not last too long.
The relationship between the two is developing rapidly, and Gao Bin feels that the day when they will be in love is not too far away.
After sitting in the bar for about an hour, drinking two glasses of wine and listening to a few songs, Gao Bin offered to take Xu Hongdou home because she would still be at work tomorrow.
I called a driver to drive, and the two of them sat in the back seat, not talking much, but enjoying the time very much.
The breeze blows in through the cracks in the window, holding the ends of the hair, as if there is an invisible hand, teasing the hearts of the two, little by little, slowly pulling them closer.
Arriving downstairs at the house Xu Hongdou rented, Gao Bin asked the driver to wait for a while while he took Xu Hongdou off.
"Go back quickly. It's quite late. Go back and have a good rest." Xu Hongdou said.
"Okay, you go back, take a shower and have a good sleep. You have worked hard today."
"Thank you. It's not hard. I'm eating very well. I'll be happy when Nanxing comes back."
"Haha, I will take you there when she comes back, so...see you tomorrow morning?"
Xu Hongdou heard the meaning of his words, pursed her lips, lowered her head, and hummed softly:
"See you tomorrow morning."
Well, the dawn of victory is shining.
Watching Xu Hongdou go upstairs, Gao Bin waited until the lights in a living room upstairs suddenly turned on, then got in the car and left.
...
The next morning, Gao Bin slept in and missed breakfast. When he learned that Xu Hongdou was in a meeting, he didn't go downstairs either. He stayed in bed until noon before washing up and going downstairs.
With good luck, I bumped into Xu Hongdou. She was wearing a uniform and was hooking up with Hisi. She was so charming.
Gao Bin was not infatuated, but he deliberately acted like a pig brother and embarrassed Xu Hongdou:
"Be serious, I'm still working."
"Tch, even if your boss is here, it won't stop me from liking you. Don't worry."
"Stop it, don't talk nonsense."
Xu Hongdou raised her pink fist to demonstrate, which was no different from acting coquettishly.
The two looked at each other and smiled, walking towards the restaurant.
"Would you like to have lunch together?"
"Okay."
"Did your work go well this morning?" Gao Bin asked.
"It's okay. I dealt with a few small things and had a short meeting. By the way, the leader informed me that I will be promoted to deputy director of the housekeeping department next month."
Gao Bin was surprised:
"You got promoted? Congratulations, what gift do you want?"
Xu Hongdou smiled and shook his head:
"Don't want anything."
"Forget it, I'll just figure it out myself."
While talking, the two of them walked into the restaurant, each of them took a plate and picked out what they liked.
Gao Bin saw that she selectively chose several vegetables, including neither fruits nor hard vegetables, and couldn't help but ask:
"You only eat so little? Can you be full?"
"The nature of our work is like this. During work, we don't dare to eat fatty foods, eat sweet foods, or drink too much water."
Gao Bin suddenly realized:
"Afraid of going to the toilet?"
"That's right, we can't leave our posts without people for a long time."
"Okay, it's hard enough."
"By the way, what do you do?"
The two found a place to sit opposite each other, and Xu Hongdou finally asked the question of relative privacy.
Gao Bin couldn't help but smile:
"I thought you weren't interested in me, but you're waiting here."
"Then are you going to say it?" Xu Hongdou started to glare again.
"Tell me, I'll tell you everything you want to know."
Then, without waiting for Xu Hongdou to ask, Gao Bin turned over a bamboo tube and recounted his experiences from childhood to adulthood in a concise and concise manner.
Finally, I deliberately emphasized:
"I have a car and a house in Magic City, but I rarely go back to live there, and I rarely drive my car. So if we come here, I will be wherever you are. If you decide to live in the capital permanently, I will stay in Magic City."
I sold my house and car and moved to the capital!"
Xu Hongdou was confused by what he said. If he didn't stop him, Gao Bin would even think of what to name the child.
"Stop, stop, what are you talking about? There are so many colleagues here!" Xu Hongdou said in a low voice.
It can be seen that she is very useful, but the girl's reserve makes her have to stop her.
"Hey, isn't this convenient for you to get to know me? What else do you want to know?"
"I don't want to think about it anymore, it's enough, you have to let me sort it out."
"Okay, you take your time and I'll get some fruit."
He stood up with his dinner plate. Not long after he left, someone occupied his seat.
"Hongdou? Where are you eating?"
"Hey!"
When Xu Hongdou faces her colleagues, she naturally turns to a polite but measured attitude.
"Hey, the food is quite vegetarian, huh?"
"Let's talk about something." Xu Hongdou directly revealed the other person's thoughts.
The man rubbed his hands with a greasy smile:
"You still understand me, so what? This is my good friend's sister. She just came to our hotel and is interning at the front desk. I would like to trouble you to take care of her."
Xu Hongdou immediately smiled at the little girl:
"Hello, if you don't understand anything in the future, just ask me, you're welcome."
"Yes, thank you, Manager Xu."
As soon as he saw that the matter was done, the man quickly said:
"Hongdou, let's have dinner together tonight?"
"Not tonight, I have to work overtime."
"What about tomorrow's weekend? How about watching a movie together? I heard there's a new movie coming out."
Before Xu Hongdou could say anything, she heard a cold male voice:
"She won't be free tomorrow."
"Huh? You are?"
Gao Bin sneered:
"Don't care who I am, she's not free anyway, that's what I said."
"Why?"
"As a VIP, I can file a complaint against you for harassing your colleagues during working hours! Since I am pursuing Xu Hongdou, I cannot see anyone being courteous in front of her! Are these two reasons enough?"
As soon as Gao Bin said this, colleagues around him were in an uproar.
Xu Hongdou was completely ashamed and looked like no one else:
"Gao Bin, it's okay, he was joking with me too."
After speaking, I deliberately asked the male colleague:
"Right? Are you kidding me?"
The male colleague had a bad look on his face, but he didn’t dare to stab Gao Bin. The second reason was okay, but the first reason was too intimidating and he couldn’t afford it.
But it's very shameful for him to admit defeat like this. Who in the hotel doesn't know that he is chasing Xu Hongdou?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
What’s the result? A foreigner got in first. Can I still hang out in the future?
So he said unwillingly:
"You are qualified to pursue her, and I am equally qualified. Let's compete fairly."
Gao Bin was speechless:
"Silly man, who can compete with you fairly? Red beans are not auction items, so what? You still want to bid with me?"
"You..."
Xu Hongdou's face didn't look good either. She had no feelings for this male colleague in the first place, but now it was even worse. Her impression score dropped directly to negative numbers.
"Stop talking, I have someone I like. It's better for us to maintain the relationship as colleagues."
Gao Bin shrugged:
"Look, I have another reason. As Xu Hongdou's boyfriend, can I refuse your invitation on her behalf?"
The male colleague stopped talking nonsense, snorted coldly, didn’t take away the plate, and left in a rude manner.
Gao Bin pouted:
“It’s so unqualified that I don’t even know how to collect the plates.”
Xu Hongdou suddenly smiled helplessly after hearing this:
"You've screwed me up so badly, how do you expect me to face my colleagues?"
Gao Bin said politely:
"How to face it? How to face it? How to face it? You have a boyfriend now!"
"What the hell? I was just perfunctory with him, didn't you hear it?"
"I didn't hear it. I only know that every spit is a nail. A person must be honest."
Xu Hongdou laughed angrily:
"I forgot, you like to hit snakes the most, really!"
"It's not too late to remember now. Well, are you still eating?" Gao Bin smiled not feeling ashamed but proud.
"I don't want to eat anymore. I'm so angry."
"Then I won't eat either. Let's go. I'll help you carry the plate."
The two left the restaurant, Gao Bin followed Xu Hongdou:
"Really working overtime tonight?"
"What are you doing? You want to date me?" Xu Hongdou deliberately tried to show off.
"You're kidding, I'm your boyfriend, how can you call me a date? I should call you a guide! I'll take you to listen to cross talk tonight?"
"Deyun Club?" Xu Hongdou's eyes flashed, she was indeed a Deyun girl.
"Lao Guo has a performance in the small theater tonight, fresh tea tickets."
"Well, I'll give you a chance to pick me up after get off work."
"Okay, little one, I obey."
Xu Hongdou was finally amused:
"Screw you, you're not serious, I'm going to work, you can stay alone."
"It's so cruel. It's a pity that I just got out of singlehood and I have to stay alone in a cold house all afternoon."
As Gao Bin spoke, he gestured to Xu Hongdou with his eyes.
The angry little girl pinched the soft flesh of his waist:
"Then I'll give you a chance to save you from loneliness."
Gao Bin gasped:
"Damn, this vicious woman actually murdered her husband."
Xu Hongdou puffed:
"Hurry up and disappear from my eyes. If you make me angry again, you will never be my boyfriend."
Gao Bin suddenly laughed:
"Okay, my girlfriend has spoken, then I will obey her orders, bye."
"Well, bye."
Xu Hongdou's face turned red and she left proudly with her hands behind her back.
When he reached a place where Gao Bin couldn't see him, he quickly covered his chest with his hands and gasped for air.
Although this is not the first time we have fallen in love, it is really the first time that my heart is beating so fast.
Xu Hongdou finally felt the taste of love, it was sweet, beautiful and happy!
Naturally, I had to share this feeling with my besties immediately, and hid in the women's bathroom to call Chen Nanxing.
"Red bean?"
"Nan Xing, I want to announce something." Xu Hongdou's face was sullen, and she thought something big had happened.
But Chen Nanxing understood her and said meaningfully:
"Don't tell me, let me guess, was it captured by that kid Gao Bin?"
"How do you know?" Xu Hongdou was surprised.
"How do I know? Look at your little face, how red it is? You can't suppress the happiness at the corner of your mouth. I can use my toes to figure out what happened."
Xu Hongdou finally couldn't stand it any longer:
"Yes, I announce that I am in love again."
"Oh my god, it's totally unreasonable. Why do I have no car, no house, and no boyfriend? You little idiot doesn't do anything, and a handsome guy falls from the sky to you. How angry!"
Xu Hongdou started to cry:
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, don't you still have me?"
"Can it be the same? You don't understand my loneliness. Forget it, I am happy to have someone by my side to take care of you."
"Fuck you, he will never replace your place in my heart."
"I believe this, but even though I have just met him, I think Gao Bin is a good person. My intuition told me!" Chen Nanxing said seriously.
"Yes, I feel the same way, otherwise I wouldn't have given him a chance."
"Okay, our leader is calling me. Let's talk again when I return to the capital."
"OK, get busy, I'll go listen to cross talk tonight."
"Holy shit, you vicious woman, are you going to kill me if you make me mad? You're dead!"
Xu Hongdou put away her phone with satisfaction and left the toilet. Her expression had been sorted out, but her walking pace was obviously much brisker, as if there were springs under her feet...
