Just after Kemi's voice fell, Jason asked directly.
This is completely instinctive.
From Jason's...stomach.
Also derived from Jason's soul.
Therefore, faced with such an invitation, Jason would never refuse.
He walked back, threw the pillow and quilt in his hand on the sofa, and lowered his head to look at Kemi.
“I know a good 24-hour restaurant.”
Kemi, who was being watched by Jason, was panicking and spoke almost subconsciously.
Then, she discovered that before she could finish speaking, Jason had already strode out.
"hurry up."
Jason, who walked to the door, looked at Kemi who didn't follow and urged him.
"Oh, oh, it's coming, it's coming."
Cammy replied blankly.
It wasn't until the two of them walked out of the apartment that Kemi came back to her senses.
Is this enough?
Is this okay?
One meal will solve it?
Jason is too talkative, right?
Or is he just cold-faced and warm-hearted?
Could it be...he likes me?
Kemi raised her head while thinking, secretly looking at Jason.
Under the streetlight, Jason's tall and strong body almost completely enveloped Kemi, but Kemi did not reject him at all. On the contrary, she felt a sense of security in her heart that she had never felt before.
When she was in despair, it was this tall figure who cut off the iron chain with a knife and rescued her.
She clearly remembers how the sparks from the blade and iron chain beat.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something to Jason.
But in the end, she shut her mouth.
She realized she didn't understand Jason.
Moreover, Jason is different from the boys who came into contact with her before.
Those boys would tolerate her, accommodate her, and please her.
But Jason wouldn't.
Jason faced her with a completely equal attitude.
This feeling is so novel!
Give her a strange sense of excitement and... joy!
That’s right!
It’s just joy mixed with joy!
This was really new to Kemi. She experienced a feeling she had never experienced before and accelerated her pace.
Jason?
He didn't pay any attention to what Kemi was thinking next to him. He was just guessing what late-night snacks would be served in the restaurant later.
After walking about 500 meters, Kemi stopped.
In front of him was a restaurant without a sign - Jason identified this restaurant by its smell.
As for the outside?
The decoration is very low-key. Just looking at the gray brick walls and lighting, you would just think that this is a design company.
"Kasai Restaurant, this is one of the 24-hour restaurants I know."
“His food tastes very good.”
"More importantly, his ice cream is very good."
As a regular customer, Kemi introduced.
Ice cream?
Jason nodded to show that he remembered, and was going to eat thirty portions first.
"Come!"
"My treat!"
"You're welcome!"
Kemi said, pushing open the door and walking in. After Jason followed behind him, he subconsciously looked at the layout of the restaurant.
Different from the low-key and confusing outside, the inside of the restaurant is very normal, with a normal restaurant layout, long tables and round stools, and except for a high platform on one side of the restaurant, there is nothing worth paying attention to.
On the high platform was a large round table and chairs, obviously prepared for the large number of guests traveling together.
Jason and Kemi were the only two people, so they naturally chose a corner of the restaurant.
After sitting down, Jason looked to the other corner of the restaurant.
There were also two people sitting there.
Like him and Kemi, one boy and one girl.
The man's face was turned away from them, and his face was unclear, and his voice was thick. The woman looked very young, a little younger than Kemi, and there was a trace of panic on her face at this moment.
"I shouldn't have run away."
"They'll kill us!"
"We're finished!"
The girl whispered, with a hint of crying in her tone.
"Shh!"
"Don't worry."
"Terry, I assure you, we are safe - at least here."
The man comforted.
Jason did not eavesdrop on purpose, but his extraordinary perception allowed him to unconsciously hear the conversation between the two.
"What's wrong?"
"Jason, can you hear their conversation?"
Kemi turned around and looked at the two people ten meters away from her, then looked at Jason in surprise.
"cannot."
Jason answered like this, and then looked at the waiter who came over.
"Good evening, you two."
"Don't worry, I assure you that there won't be any problems there."
Seemingly seeing Jason, Kemi's attention was focused on the two people in the distance. The waiter immediately explained, and then handed Kemi the recipe in his hand.
“Nice to have you visit again.”
"What do you need?"
the waiter asked.
"I'm treating you to a treat."
Cammy handed the recipe to Jason.
Jason opened the menu without politeness, and after flipping through it carefully, he pointed to the drinks column on the last page and said:
"This, this, and this."
"Is that all?"
The waiter quickly noted the alcoholic drink Jason pointed to.
Although it is rare for people to order alcoholic drinks directly, it is not impossible.
Some people just like to do it the other way around, ordering some drinks first and then some appetizers.
"Aren't you going to eat?"
"It's my treat, you're welcome."
Cammy looked at Jason's order of drinks, and there was obviously some misunderstanding.
What a gentle person.
They actually consider that I am a student and my income is not high, so I order these cheap drinks!
After he finishes drinking, he will definitely use the excuse that you just invited me and now I'll treat you to order food again.
Although a bit cliché, the gentle Jason actually looks a bit handsome.
"Have you written it all down?"
Jason ignored Kemi and looked at the waiter.
"Yeah, I've written it all down."
"Is there anything else you need?"
After the waiter nodded, he asked again.
“I don’t want what I just ordered, but the rest.”
Jason answered.
"What?"
The waiter was stunned.
“I don’t want what I just ordered, but the rest.”
"By the way, your ice cream is pretty good. Give me thirty portions."
Jason repeated it and emphasized.
"Are you sure you want to take all of them except for the one just now?"
"And ice cream, would you like thirty portions?"
When the waiter spoke, his voice was trembling, and his eyes were wide open with disbelief.
If he hadn't seen Kemi, he would have thought that Jason was here to cause trouble.
The waiter was in disbelief.
Kemi was also in disbelief.
She looked at Jason as if she was dumbfounded.
She hoped that Jason would turn his head and smile at her at this time and say: 'Hey, little fool, I lied to you, this was a joke.'
Then, she actually saw Jason turn his head and bared his teeth at her.
The pale teeth shone with a faint cold light under the light.
Kemi felt as if she saw a great white shark charging towards her with its bloody mouth open.
"Hey, I promised you a treat!"
After Jason finished speaking, he waved his hand to the waiter to hurry up.
"Come right away!"
The waiter came to his senses and turned around and ran towards the kitchen.
The turnover of the night shift is linked to his bonus.
Looking at the waiter walking away, Kemi raised her hand to stop him, but in the end, she still didn't shout.
A treat is what she said.
She can't regret it now.
Can……
She doesn’t have enough money!
Although she didn't know how much a whole menu of dishes would cost, she could confirm that the money her father just gave her wasn't even enough for thirty ice creams.
what to do?
Am I going to be left washing dishes?
Is it too late to say regret now?
Kemi looked at Jason who was sitting calmly and twisted his body uneasily.
She really wants to call her father now.
However, she was worried that doing so would disturb her father.
But while Kemi was so anxious, the dishes were served one after another.
This 24-hour restaurant is a fusion restaurant.
Simply put, they range from Beef Wellington, Tomahawk steak, to charcoal grilled pork belly, pan-fried lamb chops, to hand-caught lamb, stewed beef brisket with potatoes, and egg fried rice.
Although it is impossible to have everything.
But they all have some features.
Moreover, the chefs here do a pretty good job.
Especially that tomahawk steak.
When the waiter asked if he wanted to cut it, Jason waved his hand and refused. He directly picked up the tomahawk steak regardless of the temperature. Suddenly, the aroma of beef hit his nostrils.
Jason restrained himself, opened his mouth, and took a bite.
Juice overflows.
The marinated beef becomes more tender and delicious. The lemon salt and herbs are mixed to form a special steak juice that begins to dance on Jason's taste buds as he chews it.
The light acidity stimulates the saltiness to some extent.
The chopped mushrooms in the herb sauce are quite crispy.
Have you fried it in advance?
Jason thought, opened his mouth again, and completely pulled the remaining beef from the ribs.
Even if he restrains himself, a tomahawk steak is only two bites for Jason.
wrong!
Yes, three mouths!
Jason threw the rib into his mouth and started chewing.
At the same time, he picked up the knife and fork on the side and began to cut the steak Wellington.
The pastry is cut easily, and the aroma of black pepper and beef comes out directly.
It's not an adjective.
But really ‘squirt’!
There is a residual heat in the puff pastry, and with the touch of the knife and fork——
laugh!
It sprayed out and filled the dining table.
“Did you fold the puff pastry into layers on purpose?”
"good!"
Jason put the beef into his mouth as he spoke.
What's worth noting is that he tasted the mushroom sauce again.
Still crispy and delicious.
Although it was the second time he tried it, Jason was not bored at all.
The charcoal-grilled pork belly was served with a small stove. The three-layered pork belly was sizzling on the grate. Jason picked it up, dipped it in cumin, and threw the chili noodles into his mouth.
The grease flowed out in a flash.
It was a feeling of meeting old friends again after a long absence.
wonderful!
Brings tears to the eyes.
It’s tempting to order an extra piece.
The pan-fried lamb chops that followed were different.
It's tender.
It was as tender as the girl's hand that she quietly touched when they met her for the first time.
The olive oil completely locked in the juice in the lamb chops, making it extraordinarily tender. The peppercorns removed the muttony smell of the lamb chops, and the chopped basil leaves combined with chopped parsley gave the lamb chops an extra bit of flavor.
The embellishment and three-point crispiness are like a girl shyly pulling out her hand and staring into your eyes, angry, shy but unable to speak.
Endless aftertaste.
In front of the hand-caught mutton, beef brisket stewed with potatoes, and egg fried rice, it is the pinnacle of performance.
The soup of stewed beef brisket with potatoes was poured on the egg fried rice. I grabbed a few large pieces of mutton and put them on the egg fried rice. There was no need for any ceremony. I just licked my hands, picked up the spoon to pull the rice, and stuffed it into my mouth.
.
At this moment, the mutton is still shy.
Beef is also reserved.
Only the rice was grainy and slightly hard.
But that soup blends everything.
When mutton and beef are mixed together and chewed, the shyness and reserve quickly disappear, leaving only the unrestrained and thick meat.
Hululu!
Jason held the plate and almost drank.
Five minutes!
From start to finish, it only takes five minutes!
The entire table of dishes was wiped out!
Kemi was stunned again.
Not only Kemi, the men and women at the table far away were also attracted to Jason.
The girl, who had always been timid and frightened, looked at Jason in a daze.
But the man was a little surprised when he saw Jason.
Jason noticed.
However, he ignored it.
He put down his plate and shouted to the waiter who was about to bring him ice cream: "Do it again."
Kemi's whole body trembled.
She had calculated the food just now. Even if she had to wash the dishes, she would have to wash them for two months.
If she does it again, I'm afraid she won't be able to leave this restaurant this year.
Staying here washing dishes on New Year's Eve?
She absolutely doesn't want it!
You know, this year is a special New Year’s Eve!
She doesn't want to!
Or just slip away like this?
Kemi thought about it and shook her head the next moment.
It would be so embarrassing for her to just run away like that.
What's more, even if she wants to escape, where should she go?
Her father asked her to wait at Jason's place.
Dilemma describes Kemi at this time.
After experiencing the panic of the past few days and the despair of a few hours ago, she once again realized another important point in the adult world.
Likewise, she also learns how adults solve problems.
well.
Kemi sighed resignedly.
She was ready to wash the dishes.
Never make any random promises in the future!
The girl told herself this in her heart.
At this moment, the door of the restaurant was suddenly pushed open.
Four men with sinister faces walked in.
As soon as they came in, their eyes were fixed on a table of men and women in the distance. The girl immediately looked gray and started to tremble.
Four people gathered around him.
"Do you know the consequences of running away?"
One of the four men smiled evilly at the girl.
The remaining three people stared at the middle-aged man fiercely, threatening each other with their eyes.
Then, seven or eight more people came in.
The people who came after him were just as vicious as the people before him.
Among them, the man wearing a leather jacket was obviously the leader of the group. The leader first glanced at the 'controlled' target, and then he glanced at Jason and Kemi.
When he saw Jason's strong figure, the leader frowned, fear flashing in his eyes.
However, as soon as he saw Kemi, this fear disappeared without a trace.
"hey-hey!"
"I actually found two items belonging to the boss!"
“It’s really great!”
Amid laughter full of malice, the leading man took out a dagger and walked towards Jason and Kemi step by step.
His eyes were fixed on Kemi, the dagger in his hand was pointed at the back of Jason's neck, and he threatened directly:
"Hey, man, if you don't want to cause trouble, just stay still."
