Zhou Xiaonan looked at the fallen basin and let go of her hands in fright. The clip fell into other vegetable basins and she closed her eyes.
Chen Zhirui, who had been watching from the side, had long felt that the basin was about to fall, so the moment the basin tilted, he reacted quickly, reached out and grabbed the coriander basin and put it back in place.
When Zhou Xiaonan opened her eyes, nothing happened. Only the coriander she managed to catch seemed to have fallen back into the basin.
Zhou Xiaonan looked at Chen Zhirui, who was helping her, and said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you."
Chen Zhirui waved his hand and asked shyly: "Do I need... to help you?"
"No."
After the embarrassing incident just happened, Zhou Xiaonan felt that it was not necessary to eat the coriander at noon today. Face was more important than coriander.
Zhou Xiaonan picked up the clip that she had just taken off. There were still a few sprigs of coriander on it. These sporadic sprigs of coriander were like a consolation prize for her failure in the challenge.
Still, better than nothing.
She carried the basin and went to the cashier to pay. Chen Zhirui followed closely behind, also paid and got the number plate.
Although it was not lunch time yet, there were many people in the store and all the seats seemed to be occupied. Zhou Xiaonan had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed a small seat for two that had just been vacated. He was still lingering in the store but could not find a seat. Chen Zhirui, she waved.
Seeing Zhou Xiaonan waving, Chen Zhirui actually refused in his heart. He did not dare to sit and eat with the girls, and Zhou Xiaonan occupied a very small place. With his size, one person could occupy half of the table.
Seeing that Chen Zhirui was still not moving, Zhou Xiaonan stood up directly and shouted: "Come here quickly, what are you looking at?"
"oh oh……"
Chen Zhirui didn't dare to refuse her kindness, so he agreed twice and walked over. As he thought, the table was small and it seemed a bit crowded for two people to sit there, but he still managed to sit down.
The two of them were sitting face to face. Chen Zhirui didn't dare to look at her. He was playing with his cell phone. He didn't know what he was playing on. He opened various apps absentmindedly and swiped at random.
Compared with him, Zhou Xiaonan was much more natural. While waiting for the meal, she opened the "Shovel" fast mode, but her skills were so bad that she couldn't even cook the spicy hotpot, so she counted down. The first place ended the game quickly, and she was so angry that she quit the game.
Chen Zhirui watched her play, but he couldn't resist the temptation. He picked up his mobile phone and started a game. He had just opened Malatang, but Zhou Xiaonan's meal was not ready yet - maybe because her portion had more meat and was even more delicious. Resistant to cooking.
Chen Zhirui put down his mobile phone and went to pick up the food. When he came back, he saw Zhou Xiaonan tapping the screen of his mobile phone.
Seeing him coming back, Zhou Xiaonan smiled and explained: "I saw the game started, so I helped you choose. Do you mind? Hehe."
"it's okay no problem."
Chen Zhirui placed the spicy tomato soup on the table, quickly waved his hand and said, "If you want to play, I'll let you play."
Zhou Xiaonan pushed the phone back in front of him, waved her hand and said, "No, no, no, you better do it, I'm too good at it."
Looking at his red soup bowl, Zhou Xiaonan asked again: "Do you also like spicy food?"
"Ah, no, it's not."
Chen Zhirui clicked on the screen and said: "I don't eat spicy food, this is tomato soup."
"Okay." Zhou Xiaonan shook his head and said, "I hate tomato soup the most, spicy soup is the best!"
"Ah ha ha."
Chen Zhirui smiled and didn't know how to answer.
After a while, Zhou Xiaonan's Malatang was also ready. The one she ordered was very spicy, and she also added a bunch of red seasonings to the condiment table. The bowl of Malatang was all red, and the vegetables in it were all red. It was dyed a fiery red color and had a spicy smell that choked my nose.
Chen Zhirui looked at the bowl of chili, his eyes widened, and asked: "You...can eat spicy food so well!"
"The chili peppers in restaurants like Zhonghai just look spicy and have no taste at all." Zhou Xiaonan shrugged and said, "The chili peppers from our Sichuan city still have the taste."
Chen Zhirui asked, "Are you from Shu City?"
Zhou Xiaonan couldn't wait to pick up a piece of red fat beef roll soaked in soup and stuff it into his mouth, while saying: "Yes, where are you from?"
Chen Zhirui replied: "I am from Yangcheng."
"Oh, I've been there. The morning tea there is delicious, but it's a pity that there is no spicy food..."
"Haha, people over there don't like spicy food very much."
"Why are you still playing this game...Why are you first..."
"lucky."
…
In the hotpot restaurant on the fifth floor, Kong Liu and Gu Chenxi's dishes have also been served.
The hot red oil was boiling in the pot. Gu Chenxi went to mix the dipping sauce, and Kong Liu began to add dishes to the pot.
The waiter was giving free toys to the children at the next table, and Gong Liu shamelessly asked for a pink magic wand and hid it in his pocket.
After a while, Gu Chenxi came back with two bowls of dipping sauce. She said, "There is a spicy one and a non-spicy one. Which one do you want to eat?"
Kong Liu smiled and replied: "I don't like dipping sauce when eating hot pot."
"Ah!" Gu Chenxi said angrily: "Then what should I do if I only had two bowls?"
Seeing her embarrassed look, Kong Liu immediately said: "But today is different, I suddenly want to dip."
Kong Liu said to himself in his heart: "Well, I just want to eat the food with dipping sauce, and it's definitely not for any other reason."
"Okay."
When Gu Chenxi heard this, he pursed his lips and smiled, and asked, "Would you like it if it's not spicy?"
Kong Liu nodded: "I can do it."
"Then this is for you!"
Gu Chenxi put down the spicy dipping sauce and gave the non-spicy portion to Kong Liu, but after finishing all this, she had no intention of sitting down.
Kong Liu saw that she was still standing, with a smile on her face, and asked strangely: "What's wrong?"
"I want to sit next to you."
"OK."
Kong Liu moved his body and gave half of it to Gu Chenxi.
Gu Chenxi held the dipping sauce and sat down next to Kong Liu happily.
Some of the dishes Kong Liu had just ordered were already cooked. He picked up a piece of fat lamb roll and asked Gu Chenxi, "Do you want to eat it?"
Gu Chenxi nodded, and Kong Liu put the fat sheep roll in her bowl.
Gu Chenxi wrapped the fat sheep rolls full of ingredients and did not eat them immediately. Instead, she said, "You said, Princess, treat me to dinner."
Kong Liu glanced at her, smiled, and said, "Childish!"
Gu Chenxi bumped Kong Liu's shoulder with his arm and urged: "Oh, please tell me!"
"It's too childish, I won't say anything."
"If you don't tell me, I won't play with you."
"You are a primary school student."
"I'll beat you up!"
"Okay, okay." Kong Liu said, somewhat dumbfounded: "Princess, please have dinner!"
"No, no, no." Gu Chenxi shook his head and said, "Be serious!"
There was no other way. Kong Liu put away his smile and said again: "Princess, please have dinner."
"Um!"
Gu Chenxi nodded with satisfaction and ate the fat sheep roll in one bite. After eating, she smiled mysteriously and said, "The princess is very satisfied and has decided to grant you the knight's staff!"
As she spoke, she magically took out a small purple magic wand from behind and gave it to Kong Liu. This was what she had asked the waitress for when she was mixing the condiments.
Gu Chenxi raised her eyebrows arrogantly and said, "How about this? You didn't expect this young lady's surprise!"
"Pfft haha." Looking at the magic wand, Kong Liu said with a smile: "Then tell me, prince, you are so handsome, I also have a gift!"
Gu Chenxi tilted her head and looked at him blankly: "What gift? Is it also a magic wand?"
"Don't ask, just say it."
This time, it was Kong Liu's turn to urge Gu Chenxi.
"Prince, you are so handsome!"
As soon as Gu Chenxi finished speaking, Kong Liu also took out the pink magic wand he had hidden in his pocket.
"Whoa oh!"
Gu Chenxi held the pink magic wand and looked at Kong Liu with twinkling stars in her eyes and said, "Why don't you have it too!"
Kong Liu also imitated Gu Chenxi's behavior just now, raised his eyebrows arrogantly, and said, "You're not the only one who can prepare surprises."
Gu Chenxi held the magic wand given by Kong Liu like a treasure, but said lightly: "It's barely a surprise."
Gong Yoo looked at her and said, "Your smile betrays your true thoughts."
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
