Seemingly surprised by Shang Yunbai's blankness, Lois turned over the book for a moment, slowly raised his eyes and stared at Shang Yunbai, raised his eyebrows and said: "You can choose not to eat, but you still have to remind Mr. Kendick. , waste is not a good habit.”
It seems that the choice has been given to Shang Yunbai, but not completely given to him. From some of Shang Yunbai's actions and personality, it is not difficult to guess that he lives in poverty, and wasting these seemingly exquisite meals is tantamount to a crime for him. .
Shang Yunbai wanted to say something, but didn't seem to know what to say. He stared at Lois for a while, then lowered his eyebrows and said, "Is this your... unique characteristic?"
For Kendick, he doesn't want to be treated specially now, but after he gives his sincerity, he will be hurt by being treated like a "show".
Lois looked away, "I'm half a philanthropist."
He said this as if he was answering the question, but also as if he was avoiding the question.
However, Shang Yunbai was too lazy to think so much. Once he saw that the situation was straightened out, he pretended to hesitate, but in fact he couldn't wait to sit at the dining table.
The table is not big, and there are two vegetarian dishes, a meat dish, and soup on the table.
It was oriental food. After Shang Yunbai sat down, he remembered that these types of dishes should not be cooked here, so he raised his head in surprise. He ate oriental food because his setting was that he was of mixed race, and his mother was oriental, but this Lois He looks like a Westerner, with light blue eyes, three-dimensional facial features, and a sense of nobility of a Western aristocrat.
I don’t know if this is a nobleman.
"Don't like it? I thought you would like it." Lois seemed to be reading a book, but he immediately noticed it when Shang Yunbai raised his head and looked over, and answered the question that Shang Yunbai did not ask.
"No, it's not that I don't like it, I just didn't expect it..." Shang Yunbai looked at the hot meal in his hand and was really surprised.
Isn't this Lois a player?
Lois raised his head and said, "I have a lot of research on oriental cuisine. You can try it to see if it suits your taste."
Shang Yunbai nodded and put a chopstick into his mouth.
Hiss...it's so sweet!
It’s not that it’s unpalatable, it’s just that it doesn’t sit well with rice. It’s only suitable for eating alone. It’s a bit like a snack and would look strange with rice.
Shang Yunbai tasted other dishes, and they all tasted more or less strange, which was very in line with the characteristics of Westerners.
Lois looked at Shang Yunbai and saw the sudden change in his face as soon as he took the chopsticks down. He wanted to laugh but held back, pretending to be curious, "How is it? I tried it myself and thought it tasted pretty good."
Can I say it's not delicious?
"Well, it is indeed delicious." Shang Yunbai gave an answer that went against his ancestors.
Lois lowered his head, as if he had started reading again, and his voice seemed to be smiling a little, but it was not clear, "As long as you like it, if you have any suggestions, you can give me some suggestions."
Shang Yunbai nodded obediently, and then he ate seriously. Although the taste was average, it was obtained through free prostitution. Anyway, this was his wish. If he really made any comments, he would be a bit ignorant.
Shang Yunbai ate the meal and drank the soup. The soup was surprisingly good. There was no weird sourness or sweetness. It was just a serious soup.
Shang Yunbai had just finished eating when a handkerchief was handed to him. Shang Yunbai raised his head and Lois stood in front of him, tall and dressed in white, looking at him with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes.
"Ah... thank you, thank you." Shang Yunbai pretended to be embarrassed and reached out to take the handkerchief to wipe his mouth.
"Snapped--"
A small plate was placed in front of Shang Yunbai and pushed towards Shang Yunbai.
Shang Yunbai looked up in shock.
Lois raised his chin.
Shang Yunbai hesitated for a moment, then reached out and opened the small lid covering it.
Below is a small piece of cake.
It's not big, it's square, pink, with a big red strawberry dotted on it.
This was something only nobles could afford in this era.
You may never have seen a strawberry of this size, let alone eaten it.
"Dessert and fruit after the meal." Lois put on a small fork and then kindly reminded: "This thing can't be kept for too long. It's best to eat it now."
Shang Yunbai blinked and stared at Lois blankly.
In fact, such kind treatment came out of nowhere, but Luo Pei did it very naturally, so naturally that Shang Yunbai didn't feel any discomfort or being deliberately currying favor.
There is a feeling of being pampered by the other person like a child or a small animal.
But such things are too expensive, Kendick flinched a little, "You can eat it yourself..."
Lois immediately showed a look of regret, "Unfortunately, I don't like sweets."
Shang Yunbai thought to himself that this person had something. Any NPC would have been captured. He didn't know if this person was a player.
I guess he does, the food he cooks is really weird, but if he doesn't... I always feel like there's something a little weird about it.
Shang Yunbai hesitated for a moment, looking confused and at a loss.
Lois stared at him quietly, without urging or forcing him.
If Ketel had half as much scheming as Lois, he wouldn't have half at all.
Shang Yunbai hesitantly picked up his fork and picked up the food on the plate.
The sweetness is moderate, the milky aroma is strong, and the sourness of the strawberry makes the stomach lighten after eating and feels less stretched.
Shang Yunbai finished the small cake seriously. When he looked up, Lois was still looking at him.
Kendick, who could face anyone calmly in the past, rarely tilted his head and said a little shyly, "Thank you Dr. Lois for your hospitality."
Lois narrowed his eyes and nodded implicitly, "No need."
He reached into his pocket, took out a beautiful small box, and handed it to Shang Yunbai, "You seem to be in a bad mood. You will feel much better after eating this."
Shang Yunbai was stunned for a moment, blinked, looked down at the small box, hesitated and reached out to open it.
There were more than a dozen candies lying quietly inside.
Shang Yunbai couldn't help but laugh as he looked at it. He raised his head and asked, "Is this something Dr. Lois doesn't like to eat?"
Lois had already thought of his words, but was stunned by Shang Yunbai's little fox-like shyness, as if his heartbeat was unbalanced and his breathing was stagnant.
As if nothing had happened, Lois heard his own smiling voice, "Yes, I don't like food."
Dr. Lois, who "doesn't like sweets" but carries candy with him, smiled softly after saying this. "I'll take it as a reward for today's meal for asking Mr. Kendick to solve this problem for me."
After sweeping away his depression, Shang Yunbai smiled at Lois's smile, "You are so thoughtful. Getting to know you is probably the luckiest thing that has happened to me in recent years."
"Then come over and see me more often, just like a friend." Lois returned to being expressionless, but looked at the person talking very seriously.
Like friends?
Mr. Kendick, who was overly sensitive to the word "friend", suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere was a bit stiff.
