August is the summer season in Haishi. The scorching sun is baking the earth, and the heat wave coming towards your face can’t help but make people feel irritable.
This feeling becomes even more unpleasant when there is someone beside you talking nonsense.
Lu Jinghuai seemed particularly excited since they went out. Chi Miao kept chatting with him, not very interested.
If I had known that the weather would be so hot, why would I have allowed the little golden retriever to go out for dinner yesterday?
Chi Miao hates heat and cold. She lives an exquisite life, and her peach blossom space has always been like spring all year round. It's a pity that such comfortable and comfortable days are gone forever.
"When I turn on the air conditioner in the car later, it won't be hot anymore."
Lu Jinghuai put his hand across Chi Miao's head to shield him from the sun. The unavoidable shaking of his body while walking made his fingertips lightly touch his smooth forehead. The man's heart beat wrongly, and his eyelashes trembled slightly as he tried to look ahead.
The car was parked downstairs. After getting in the car, I turned on the air conditioner and the cold wind gradually dissipated the heat.
There was some sweat on Chi Miao's neck. When Lu Jinghuai saw it, he took out a tissue and handed it to her.
"Thanks."
"Do you want to drink some water? There is water in the back seat."
Lu Jinghuai didn't wear half-rimmed glasses today. His eyes were light honey gold, with dark brown pupils. Coupled with the fluffy curly hair, he was so bright that it seemed that he couldn't shine through any gloom.
He wanted to reach out to the back seat to get some water, but Chi Miao grabbed his wrist and stopped him.
"We'll eat later, no need to bother."
"Miaomiao...Miaomiao..."
The contact between the soft palm and Lingding's wrist bone made Lu Jinghuai sigh out the word Miaomiao in a suppressed voice. He lowered his eyes to look at those clear and beautiful eyes, and his belated reason took over the high ground.
He struggled to withdraw his hand and said with a cover-up excuse: "You, don't forget to wear your seat belt."
Chi Miao saw Lu Jinghuai's weirdness in his eyes. It seemed that every time he touched him, the man reacted strangely.
Lu Jinghuai started the car with his ears flushed, but after a while he adjusted his mood and continued joking with Chi Miao as if nothing was wrong.
What they were going to was a restaurant called Xianzhu located in an ancient alley in the old city.
Lu Jinghuai stopped the car outside the alley and asked Chi Miao to go in first and wait for him.
"It's hard to find a parking space in the old city. The sun is very poisonous now. If you go out for a walk, you will definitely feel uncomfortable with the heat. Why don't you go in and cool off first? I have already reserved a private room. Just go in and tell the manager my name directly."
After passing through the alley, Chi Miao's sight suddenly widened. A classically decorated restaurant is located here. The Taijiyong Road outside the courtyard is paved with cobblestones, and various seasoning herbs are planted on both sides, exuding bursts of fragrance.
"Welcome to Xianzhu Private Restaurant, do you have a reservation?"
The waiter in cheongsam moved to Chi Miao with a standard smile on his face.
"We have an appointment."
Chi Miao reported Lu Jinghuai's name to the waiter, and the man led her to sit in the lobby and wait.
The background music of the restaurant is the sound of piano, the fragrance of fruit and wood is burning in the distance, and the antique interior design is very stylish.
The private restaurant was not open to the public. Chi Miao glanced around and found almost no diners.
During the waiting period, only the cheongsam waiter poured her a cup of tea. Other than that, there was no movement. Chi Miao seemed to be left out in the cold.
Lu Jinghuai, who was returning from parking the car, found Chi Miao who was holding a teacup in her hand. He couldn't help but feel confused when he saw her sitting alone.
"Why didn't Miaomiao wait in the box?"
"Mr. Lu is here. Tingxue's box is ready. Please come with me."
What’s interesting is that as soon as Lu Jinghuai arrived, Xianzhu’s manager appeared.
This man had a lively mind, with the unique smoothness of a middle-aged man in his eyes, and nodded to Chi Miao with a kind face, as if he was not the one who deliberately left the person here.
"I booked a private room in advance, why don't you bring anyone with you..."
Lu Jinghuai understood that Chi Miao had been neglected, so he planned to have a serious argument with the manager, but suddenly his little finger was gently tugged.
Chi Miao shook his head at Lu Jinghuai and told him that he didn't need to say more. Even if he questioned him verbally, the manager would definitely have thousands of excuses to distance himself from the relationship.
She has seen many people like this before, and she has never experienced anything more unfair than this. The hot weather is already depressing enough, and Chi Miao just wants to sit down quietly and have a good meal.
"Please, Mr. Lu."
Seeing Chi Miao's attitude of trying to calm things down, the manager felt even more proud.
In his eyes, Chi Miao, who was wearing street clothes, had absolutely no background. If it weren't for Lu Jinghuai's face, he would not let her enter Xianzhu. If other diners knew about this, they would think that the standard of their restaurant had been lowered.
Lu Jinghuai despised the manager's different treatment. He was just a part-time worker in a restaurant, but he had learned to look down on others?
Go up the spiral wooden staircase to the second floor. In front of you is a zigzag corridor. All kinds of exquisite porcelain are placed in the four corners and niches, which is full of elegance and interest.
Chi Miao looked steadily at the porcelain in front of her, and there seemed to be a flash of light in her eyes that gradually widened.
"This is our boss's private collection - an enamel group-patterned flask."
Seeing that Chi Miao seemed to be stunned, the manager secretly laughed at her. She was indeed a little girl who had never seen the world. There were many porcelains like this in Xianzhu. It would be a waste of money to show it to people who did not know the elegance.
Chi Miao looked away from the enamel group-patterned flask, raised her lips and smiled at the manager, "This flask is very beautiful."
The man curled his lips secretly. Do you need to judge whether he is beautiful or not?
Soon after we were seated in the Tingxue box, the waiters served exquisite dishes one after another, the aroma wafting over them made our appetites whet their appetites.
"I thought you would take me to that internet celebrity restaurant."
Chi Miao picked up the hot towel and wiped her hands carefully. She was wearing ordinary white short-sleeved shirts and jeans. Her long black hair was tied up high into a ponytail. She had no makeup on her face, but her fair and translucent skin made her look even more delicate. beauty of.
"His food tastes very good, so I wanted to bring you to try it."
In Lu Jinghuai's view, Chi Miao is like a fragile porcelain beauty who deserves to be cared for and cherished. No wind, sun or human odor should contaminate her at all.
He brought Chi Miao to Xianzhu with this solemn thought. Unexpectedly, she was wronged for nothing.
"Sorry Miaomiao, I didn't think carefully enough."
Chi Miao looked at Lu Jinghuai amusedly. The little golden retriever was so depressed that even his beautiful honey-gold eyes looked quite gloomy.
Isn't he some kind of person-pleaser?
"Don't apologize casually. If you say too much, your apology will be worthless. It's not your fault in the first place. There's no need to worry about it."
"You said his food is delicious, so I have to try it."
After saying that, Chi Miao picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of the boiled cabbage heart, put it into his mouth and chewed it carefully.
The way she ate was elegant and beautiful. Lu Jinghuai looked at her blankly, and then gave him a frown after noticing.
"How is the taste."
"not bad."
Hearing Chi Miao's answer, Lu Jinghuai's smile became even brighter. If there was a tail behind him, it would have shaken its afterimage at this moment.
