Qin Sirui wouldn't arrive in Kyoto until midnight. Li Mo originally thought of picking her up at that time, but he lay on the bed and watched TV for a while and fell asleep unknowingly.
When he woke up, it was already around six o'clock the next morning. He patted his head and saw someone talking outside the window. He got out of bed and opened the door, and saw the washed and dried clothes neatly folded on a stool at the door.
After getting dressed, I walked outside to the courtyard and saw Mr. Qin doing a set of Tai Chi. His boxing skills are so smooth that you can tell from one glance that he has been practicing for at least twenty years.
Not far away, a nanny stood there, holding a coat in her hand, next to two leisure chairs and a coffee table.
Li Mo did not disturb him and stood aside quietly watching him finish Tai Chi five times in a row.
"We are too old to sleep, so we get up early. You young man doesn't like to sleep in."
"You practice Tai Chi, and I practice Baji Quan. I haven't slept much since I was a child. My biological clock will wake up at that point. A lot of things have happened in the past month, so I have to practice The boxing thing has also been put aside.”
"How's the stab wound on your shoulder?"
"It's okay."
"Don't relax. It's best not to do strenuous exercise in the near future. Once you're completely healed, you can put boxing practice on your agenda. This boxing practice is all about building up your energy. Once you relax, you'll lose that energy. , people will eventually become lazy.”
"Thank you, Mr. Qin, for the tip."
"The others are still sleeping, why don't we two go out to have some breakfast in old Kyoto?"
"Okay, there are so many varieties of breakfast in old Kyoto, and I haven't eaten a few yet. Then wait for me, and I'll go freshen up."
Ten minutes later, an old man and a young man walked out of the courtyard, followed not far away by two men in fine clothes.
The courtyard was quiet, but it was already bustling outside. In June, it was already dark after six o'clock. Not far from the alley was an old street. Various breakfast stalls were full of pedestrians, most of whom were office workers and a small number of elderly people.
Li Mo found an empty table: "Mr. Qin, can you recommend some breakfast dishes?"
"Boss, please order two portions of fried liver, two portions of meat buns, plus one portion of roasted donkey meat and one portion of donkey offal soup."
After finishing his order, Mr. Qin said to Li Mo, "You have a big appetite. If you don't have enough, order again. There are other special breakfasts."
Li Mo looked around and said with a smile: "Old man, I think that only by sitting here eating breakfast can you have the temperament of an old Kyoto person and the real atmosphere of hutong life."
"Although you are young, your vision is indeed high. The atmosphere of life here is very strong. I don't want the high-rise buildings outside to cut off the distance between people."
"Old man, let me give you a suggestion."
"Oh, give me some advice, tell me, what are your opinions?"
"Look, you treat me as your old friend, and I'm very grateful. But if I do something wrong in the future, Uncle Qin, Aunt Qin, they will never fall out with me for your sake. I don't think this is good. .”
Mr. Qin looked at him squarely, approving secretly in his heart. He immediately laughed and said, "That's right, this is not conducive to your progress and growth. Well, just follow Sirui and call me grandpa, and I will call you Xiao Mo." . We are both close friends and grandfather and grandson, so our relationship is even closer."
Okay, this relationship goes one step further.
Li Mo smiled and brought over all the breakfast dishes, steaming hot.
"Xiao Mo, you need to swirl the fried liver along the mouth of the bowl to drink it, and you need to carefully drink the soup inside of the big meat bun first."
Mr. Qin picked up the bowl and drank. Li Mo followed suit. The old Kyoto fried liver tasted really good.
"Not bad right!"
"One of the best in Kyoto."
"This word is used well, and it is much more pleasing to the eye than the polite speech of those juniors."
Mr. Qin was full after a bowl of fried liver and a meat bun. Li Mo finished the rest and ordered two large meat buns and a bowl of beef offal soup.
"Have you always had such a big appetite since childhood?"
"I used to have a big appetite, but now I have an even bigger appetite."
"Hahaha, people who practice martial arts are not only in good health, they also have a good appetite. When I was young, I was famous for having a big appetite in the army, but if I compare with you, I will be defeated."
"So I have to make some money. Otherwise, if I don't mention honoring my parents and elders and caring for my wife and children, I'm afraid I won't even be able to support myself."
"Have you eaten enough? After that, the two of us will take a walk along the alley to eat."
"When we are full, let's go."
An old man and a young man walked slowly in front. Li Mo occasionally looked back, and a few figures passed by and merged into the crowd.
"Can you spot them?" Mr. Qin looked surprised. Those people behind him were all specially trained, the elite among the elite.
"Maybe because I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, my sense of touch is relatively sensitive. In addition to the two people who came out of the courtyard, there are still at least five people following me secretly. No matter how well they disguise themselves, their eyes are always fixed on us. I have that kind of Fuzzy strange feeling.
Mr. Qin just smiled and walked along the alley with his hands behind his back.
It was past seven o'clock when the two returned to the courtyard after their walk.
"Dad, it's time for breakfast." Qin Yali was placing the dishes on the dining table.
"Xiao Mo and I have already eaten outside. Is Sirui still sleeping?"
"I just woke up and I'm washing up."
Qin Yali came over and whispered to Mr. Qin: "Dad, when you have time, go talk to the second brother and ask him to stop messing around. He only lost 20 million last month and is asking Sirui for money again this month. The second brother The second sister-in-law doesn’t know how to invest, but she prefers to save face by playing with others. If they don’t lose, who will lose?”
Mr. Qin's eyes suddenly became sharp, like a fierce tiger emitting a frightening light. He snorted and said, "How much does he want from Sirui?"
"I just passed by Sirui's bedroom, and I heard them talking on the phone before the door was closed. The second brother asked Sirui for 50 million, saying that a friend was working on a very good project, and the rate of return was extremely high. As long as it was successful, You can get back more than half of your previous losses.”
"As a parent, you are seeking death. Go call them and ask them to come immediately regardless of whether they have anything to do today."
When Li Mo heard it, he pretended not to hear it. He turned around and walked into the yard. The sunlight shone down, and the rockery, stone scenery, and artificial flowing water looked very harmonious.
Qin Sirui's personality is so cold and he keeps others away. It probably has a lot to do with their parents.
Sometimes Li Mo feels that his parents seem unreliable, but Li Mo also sees many noble sides in them.
They were very affectionate, and he had never seen them blushing or quarreling since he could remember. Moreover, they have a very optimistic attitude towards life, and they always face it calmly no matter what they encounter.
"Li Mo?"
There was a sound of surprise from behind.
Li Mo looked back and saw Qin Sirui standing there slimly in white casual clothes. Her expression was still a little cold, but her eyes seemed a little softer.
"Good morning, Miss Sirui." Li Mo greeted with a smile, "I came back late last night, why don't you get more beauty sleep."
"I called because the company had something to do and I was woken up."
Li Mo didn't criticize what she said, but just said: "If you get up half an hour earlier, we will go out to have breakfast together in the alley."
"There is an old shop over forty years old at the entrance of the alley, which specializes in making leek and scallion pancakes. If you haven't tried it, go and line up early tomorrow."
"delicious?"
"I can't buy it if I go late."
