Chapter 1607: Getting together
Since ruan Xiaoqing could be discharged from the hospital, it meant that she could come and eat the dishes cooked by him. Yuan Zhou was happy for Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing.
It was another ordinary day. Yuan Zhou practiced his cooking skills as usual and then went to bed. The next morning, he got up to exercise.
âMorning, boss Yuan.â
âBoss yuan can exercise and persevere every day, but I canât at all.â
When the neighbors greeted him, Yuan Zhou also responded to them one by one.
Before he went to bed last night, Yuan Zhou had already thought about what to cook for ruan Xiaoqing tonight.
For breakfast and lunch, there was still a long line outside the restaurant. In the afternoon, however, something happened that left a deep impression on Yuan Zhou.
The brat who often came to the shop was beaten up because he imitated his parents âsignature.
The most important reason why they were discovered was not because they did not imitate well, but because they did it too well. Every time, the parents ânames were the same. A wise man would always make a mistake, and this was exactly what naughty children were like.
In addition, Huang Fei, Wang Qiang, and the other Fourâs Masters also called and chatted for a while. Their words were similar,âmy good-for-nothing disciple has caused trouble for head chef Yuanâ and so on.
At night, during dinner time, Wu Hai restrained his impulse to lean against the door frame and sat outside.
Generally speaking, Wu Hai was the first batch of customers to enter the restaurant. Although he ate a lot, he also ate very fast. After he finished his meal, he left jubilantly as he didnât want to affect Yuan Zhouâs business.
There was basically no such thing as waiting at the door after eating.
âHaha, we can have two dinners tonight. Iâm so happy. Iâm so happy.â Wu Hai muttered to himself, this rich guy really made the right decision to treat me to a meal tonight.
Thatâs right. Since it was ruan Xiaoqingâs treat today, the divine beast Wu Hai would definitely be there. Unlike the other people who were invited, Wu Hai would not have to line up for dinner. After having his dinner, he would have to attend the dinner at 8:30.
Wu Hai was so happy that he couldnât help shaking his legs. He even thought in his heart that he was going to draw a painting when he went back. He was so happy that he couldnât control himself.
Wu Hai waited for more than an hour. When the business time ended, Yuan Zhou sent off the last batch of customers.
âCrow beast, youâre here so early?â Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing arrived one by one. When they saw Wu Hai at the door, Ling Hong greeted him.
âNo, donât tell me you came for dinner and didnât leave after that.â Ling Hong finally reacted.
âNonsense, of course.â Wu Hai didnât think it was shameful, but rather proud.
âYouâre really a pig!âLing Hong couldnât help but say.
âRich man, are you stupid? How can a pig be compared to me?â âHow can a pig eat more than me?â Wu Hai said angrily.
ââŠâ Ling Hong didnât want to talk to Wu Hai.
Ruan Xiaoqing couldnât help but smile when she heard the bickering between Wu Hai and Ling Hong. In her eyes, Ling Hong was quite mature. However, after meeting Wu Hai, he couldnât help but become childish.
Nobody knew whether it was Wu Haiâs mocking skill that was maxed out or the two people were natural nemesis.
It was around 8:15 A. M. Now. Ruan Xiaoqing had arrived early. After all, she was the one treating and the host couldnât be impolite. Ling Hong naturally followed her.
As time went by, the young friends invited by Ling Hong also arrived in twos and threes.
âThank you, sister Qing, for treating me.â
âLittle Qing is treating you to a meal at Yuan Zhouâs restaurant. Youâre going to have to spend a lot tonight.â
âLing Hong and little Qing, how have you been? When will I be able to eat the wedding candy?â
âSister Jiang, donât tease me. Xiao Qingâs face is red.â
âAlright, alright. Itâs almost 8:30. Letâs go in and talk.â
Jiang Changxi, Xia Yu, Wu Zhou, MA zida, Wang Hong, Cheng Hao, sister Wan, Yin ya, Zhou Jia, Shen Min, and all the other people who were invited had arrived.
Both of them had arrived on time. Although Wu Zhou and Zhuang xinmu didnât know ruan Xiaoqing, judging from Ling Hongâs attitude and the position where they were standing, they were not stupid and knew what was going on.
âNot bad, Ling Hong. Little Qing is so beautiful and I feel that her personality is also very good.â Wu Zhou winked at Ling Hong.
âOf course,â Ling Hong said proudly,âhow can the girl I like be bad?â
âBy the way, I feel that your relationship as husband and wife is quite good. Is there any secret?â Ling Hong changed his tone and asked.
âOf course I do. I also have a special technique for being a stay-at-home dad. Do you want to learn it?â Wu Zhou said.
Speaking of the stay-at-home dad, Ling Hong was stunned for a moment. Then, he came back to his senses very quickly and replied,ââOf course. Weâll have a private chat later.â
After everyone was seated, Yuan Zhou began to serve the dishes. The delicacies were so delicious that it made people feel good just by looking at them.
âXiao Qing hasnât seen you for a long time. How are you feeling?â Xia Yu asked with concern as she ate.
Very few people in the restaurant knew about ruan Xiaoqingâs illness, only Ling Hong and Yuan Zhou.
Everyone had not seen ruan Xiaoqing for a long time. They were not stupid and knew that something had happened. Xia Yu and the others could guess that she was probably sick.
âI wasnât feeling well a few days ago, so I stayed in the hospital for a few days. Iâve been discharged now. Sorry for making everyone worried.â Ruan Xiaoqing said.
âItâs good that youâre fine. You just got discharged, so you should rest more. â Sister Wan asked with concern.
âLing Xiaohong, you have to take good care of Xiaoqing. Otherwise, why would Xiaoqing agree to your proposal?â Jiang Changxi said.
The words of a Queen could always hit the nail on the head. Ling Hong was fine, but ruan Xiaoqingâs head was almost buried in the plate.
Jiang Changxi had a better guess. She guessed that ruan Xiaoqingâs body might really not be in good condition. That was why she said that on purpose.
âDonât worry, Iâll definitely take good care of little Qing, Sister Jiang. â Ling Hong chuckled.
The atmosphere was lively.
Yin ya didnât eat much, because Yuan Zhou hadnât arrived yet. To be exact, all the people present, even Wu Hai, were waiting for Yuan Zhou with restraint.
After the dishes were served and Yuan Zhou took his seat, ruan Xiaoqing raised her glass, which was of course filled with plain water, and said, âIâm very grateful for everyoneâs concern for me during this period of time. â
âYouâre saying that as if you wonât come to my restaurant in the future. Besides, itâs enough to thank me for this meal. You have to come more often in the future.â Yuan Zhou said.
If you want to drink, just drink. If you want to drink, just drink. No one in the restaurant would ever urge you to drink.
No, there was also advice, but it was to stop drinking. After all, there was too little wine.
âBy the way, compass, why are you serving new dishes so fast? my wallet canât take it.â The new dish expert, MA zida, complained tearfully.
âItâs not good to have too many dishes,âWu Hai raised his head and said.
They were talking and laughing.
In the end, the lively dinner party ended in such a lively atmosphere. During this period, everyone was very enthusiastic about ruan Xiaoqingâs treat.
Especially Wu Hai, who had never stopped talking.
Those that she didnât know, ruan Xiaoqing knew them at this dinner.
When Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing arrived at the street of Taoxi road, there were not many people on the street.
Usually, there would be many passers-by in Tao Xi at this time, especially on both sides of the road, there were more people eating skewers and drinking.
After all, whenever the weather was hot, the people of Chengdu would like to drink and eat skewers on the street. However, as Yuan Zhou had informed them in advance that the pub would not be open for business today, those mobile vendors didnât come here to set up stalls.
Hence, there were very few people on the streets.
âThere arenât many people today.â Ruan Xiaoqing said.
âYes, because the pub is not open today.â Ling Hong nodded his head.
âI feel very happy today.â While saying that, ruan Xiaoqing couldnât help turning her head sideways and smiling at Ling Hong,ââThank you for inviting so many people. Although I donât know some of them, theyâre all very nice.â
âThis has nothing to do with me. After all, Iâm not the one paying.â âBesides, those guys ran away as fast as they could when they heard that it was a treat,â Ling Hong said with a smile.
âDo you think everyone is like Mr. Wu Hai?â Ruan Xiaoqing glanced at Ling Hong and said angrily.
âWell, itâs hard to say if they go to other places, but they are definitely possessed by Wu Hai when they come to boss Yuanâs restaurant.â Ling Hong pretended to think about it seriously.
âI canât help it. Who asked boss Yuan to cook so delicious dishes?â Ruan Xiaoqing sighed helplessly.
âExactly. I see Yin ya has gained weight recently. You have to work harder. After all, you have been eating boss Yuanâs take-out for several days. If you donât gain weight, you will be a disgrace to boss Yuan.â Ling Hong said mischievously.
âIâm just slim. â Ruan Xiaoqing said as she touched her sharp chin.
âBut I still like it when youâre chubby. Youâre blessed.â Ling Hong said with a smile.
Ruan Xiaoqing blushed the moment she heard Ling Hong say that he liked it. She tilted her head slightly and took the initiative to reach out her fair hand,ââIâm not good at crossing the road, so Iâll have to trouble you. â
Thatâs right. At this time, the two of them had already walked to the intersection of Taoxi road. The road opposite was the road that Ling Hong would pass by when he sent ruan Xiaoqing back every day.
Under the bright street lamp, ruan Xiaoqingâs side profile was fair and delicate. Her outstretched hand trembled slightly in the cool summer night wind.
Ling Hong reached out his hand to hold it almost without any hesitation and then said,ââItâs been cold for the past two days. Put on a jacket. â
Holding ruan Xiaoqingâs hand, Ling Hong opened his coat with his left hand and prepared to put his coat on ruan Xiaoqing with one hand.
This coat was worn by Ling Hong this morning, but he didnât wear it in the store. When he came out, he took it in his hand. Now, it had a place to put it to good use.
However, Ling Hong obviously hadnât learned the skill of draping clothes on someone with one hand. He struggled for a long time but still couldnât put it on ruan Xiaoqingâs shoulder.
âPfft.â Ruan Xiaoqing couldnât help covering her mouth and laughing. She looked at Ling Hong with bright eyes and said,ââIâll do it. â
As she said that, she tried to get rid of Ling Hongâs hand. However, Ling Hong subconsciously clenched his hand a little more, so ruan Xiaoqing couldnât get rid of him at all.
âI wonât run. Iâm still waiting for you to send me back.â Ruan Xiaoqing said.
âCough, no, I just felt that your hands were a little cold, so I wanted to give you a hand.â Ling Hong coughed uncomfortably and then let go of ruan Xiaoqingâs hand.
However, after he let go of her, Ling Hong didnât let ruan Xiaoqing do it herself. Instead, he put his coat on ruan Xiaoqing himself.
Ling Hong was very tall. Although ruan Xiaoqing wasnât short, she was a little thin and weak. With Ling Hongâs coat on her, she looked even more petite.
After putting on his coat, Ling Hong said in a low voice,ââYouâre my girlfriend now, so Iâll have to make some requests. â
âTell me.â Ruan Xiaoqing pursed her lips and smiled.
âThe first one is that youâre not allowed to put on a brave front. I want to know whether youâre doing well or not.â Ling Hong said nervously yet pretending to be natural.
âOf course. I donât think we have that much time to waste on guessing, do we?â Ruan Xiaoqing nodded her head with a smile and then took the initiative to hold Ling Hongâs hand.
âAlright, Iâll take you across the road. After all, Iâm an expert in crossing the road.â Ling Hong took hold of ruan Xiaoqingâs hand and then turned around to walk toward the crosswalk with her.
Ruan Xiaoqing was half a step behind Ling Hong. Therefore, she couldnât see the bright smile on Ling Hongâs face and his bright eyes.
And Ling Hong couldnât see ruan Xiaoqingâs gentle smile or her expectant and yearning eyes.
Just like that, the two of them walked to the parking lot hand in hand, where Ling Hongâs car was parked.
