"Mao tripe, duck intestine, yellow throat, lotus heart, spicy beef, two portions of the same! The bottom of the pot needs to be extra spicy!"
Xue Wusuan has been fond of this food since he was a child. He used to have hot pot twice a week. If he doesn't eat it, he won't feel energetic. I went to the underworld before, and there is no such thing as hot pot in the world of Tian Long Ba Bu. I have been holding back for a long time. Today
It’s rare to come back for a trip, so why not tear it apart and stuff it into your stomach?
Generally speaking, hot pot is only lively when three or four friends are invited to eat together. It is rare for people to eat alone. So Xue Wusuan quickly became an anomaly in hot pot restaurants.
"Sister, look at that person over there, he's eating alone! It's such a waste to order so many dishes!"
"Shh! Little sister, what are you talking about! Who stipulates that a person can't come to eat hot pot? It's none of your business if people finish eating! Okay, hurry up and play with your phone!"
"Yes, the second sister always likes to gossip. But that person looks so fierce."
There were three girls sitting at the table at the back. Judging from their age, they were probably still students, around eighteen or nineteen years old. They were arguing quietly behind Xue Wusuan's back. But they didn't know that Xue Wusuan heard everything.
Xue Wusuan was amused and felt that he was really alive again. He started to joke.
He turned around, took off his sunglasses, deliberately put on a fierce look, and said to the three girls behind him in a conspiratorial manner: "It's true that you ordered too much. How about eating together? I'm treating you!"
"Yeah!" The two timid girls were startled by Xue Wusuan's sudden words. Looking at the sinister smile, a chill suddenly rushed from their backs to their foreheads. Their faces turned pale.
The remaining one seemed to be more courageous. Although his face turned pale with fright, he still managed to muster a smile and replied: "This gentleman, I, my friend was joking just now, don't mind."
Xue Wusuan meant to scare people, how could he just let it go? He suppressed a smile in his heart, but the evil spirit slowly escaped from his face, and said seriously: "I'm not joking, I really accidentally ordered too much, come here.
Let's eat together, I'll treat you." After saying that, the three girls ignored them and asked the waiter to add three sets of bowls and chopsticks to their table.
The evil spirit of Wu Dao Yama even scares the warriors in the world of Tianlong Babu, let alone these three ordinary little girls? One hundred and twenty hearts are unwilling and dare not say it to their faces, so they fearfully moved their seats and sat down next to Xue Wusuan
Opposite the other side, the three of them were very close together, like three frightened birds.
Seeing this, Xue Wusuan couldn't help but laugh. The evil spirit on his body was gone, and he asked the waiter to bring a bunch of freshly squeezed juice, saying that it would calm their shock.
"Hahaha, you are students? Are you too timid? If you meet a bad person, you really won't be so scared that you don't even know how to run away?"
The three women were speechless for a while: Bad guy? You are the most terrifying bad guy we have ever encountered!
"Okay, okay! I'm just kidding you, didn't you order food too? It would be more lively to eat together, lest people say I'm weird when I sit here alone."
The atmosphere between the four of them was strange. Fortunately, the hot pot tasted really good. The three women calmed down a little and started to use their chopsticks.
"Don't you have any classes today? Are you going out to eat hot pot?"
Xue Wusuan's words seemed casual, but the pressure on him was real. Although the three girls were still a little scared, they were not as serious as before.
"It's the weekend, no classes."
"It's better for you to do this. When you have classes, you go out for shopping, and your life is comfortable." Xue Wusuan has always envied college students, but he has never had such a carefree life. When he was a child, he was not sensible,
I love learning, but I didn’t realize until I was thirty that I had missed too much and made too many mistakes. But there is no regret medicine in the world.
"That's not true! We have to go to the welfare home to volunteer after dinner, so we don't have time to go shopping!"
The speaker was a girl with a ponytail and a chubby face. She was the one who said before that Xue Wusuan looked strange eating hotpot alone. Her name was Zhou Xun. She was the second eldest child in the dormitory, and the other short-haired one was Wang Siran, the eldest.
The skinny girl next to me is named Li Dan and she is the third oldest.
"Welfare home? The "Sunshine Welfare Home" in the north of the city?"
"Eh? You know that too?"
The three girls all looked up at Xue Wusuan with some curiosity. Most people don't know the specific location of the welfare home. Many people don't even know that there is a welfare home in the county.
"Of course I know. I stayed there for six years. I didn't leave until I was thirteen."
"Isn't it, thirteen years old? I remember the rules of the orphanage are that children will not be released into society before they are sixteen years old."
"I sneaked out on my own. By the way, is Old Man Liao still the dean?"
"Do you know Dean Liao? Yes, he is still the dean now. Are you really from the welfare institution?"
With the common topic, the three girls talked more. Gradually, they were no longer frightened. One of them boldly asked Xue Wusuan questions without saying a word, with curiosity on his face. A girl who ran out of the orphanage at the age of thirteen.
How did the child grow up to be so big now? Judging from the famous brand he wears, he should be doing well. How does he live?
Xue Wusuan lost interest in talking. A serious old man's face flashed in his mind involuntarily. It seemed that the old man was still scolding him: Get out of here! If you don't learn well, then don't come back!
It's just that I haven't been back for many years. I don't have the shame to go back. I don't have the shame to see the old man.
"But, I haven't seen Dean Liao for a few days. I heard he is ill."
The old man is sick? Impossible! That old guy has a special soldier's physique and has never even had a cold. How could he be sick?
"Well, I also heard from Aunt Wang that Dean Liao fell ill because he was old and couldn't bear the anger."
Getting older?
Xue Wusuan was shocked, as if he just remembered that he had been out of the orphanage for more than 20 years, so wasn't the old man seventy-eight years old?
My heart was inexplicably blocked. I took a big sip of wine and asked in a deep voice: "Being angry? Who can make Old Man Liao be angry? It's good if he doesn't make others angry to death."
The three Zhou Xun girls burst out laughing after hearing this. The eldest sister Wang Siran said: "Sir, you really know Dean Liao. He is indeed very stubborn sometimes, haha."
"That's not called stubbornness, but rigidity! Okay, you haven't told me why he's so angry?"
Zhou Xun said: "I heard that a developer wanted to build a business district near the welfare home. He thought the welfare home was an eyesore, so he found a piece of land on the outskirts of the city and asked Director Liao where to put the welfare home."
The dean didn’t agree. He seemed to come to the house every day to cause trouble, so he got angry.”
Xue Wusuan snorted and asked again: "Why is Old Man Liao unwilling?"
"I know this!" Li Dan, the third child next to him, answered: "Dean Liao felt that the suburbs were too far away for the children in the orphanage to seek medical treatment, so he refused. You came from the orphanage.
You should know that many of the children there have problems that require them to go to the hospital frequently."
Xue Wusuan nodded and drained the remaining beer in one gulp. Then he looked at the three girls and said, "Have you finished eating? If so, let's leave. I haven't gone back to check for a long time."
