?
This bowl of egg fried rice was different from the one Xia Wei had previously eaten at Tian Xia Restaurant It wasn't arranged with the utmost care, and the receptacle was also just a co fried rice, however, was still as golden-bright and dazzling in color as before; the aroma was so rich, it was visible to the naked eye
Xia Wei put both her pal fried rice
Jiang Zhi Zhou: ”…”
”What are you doing?” Jiang Zhi Zhou looked at her ridiculously Xia Wei paid respect to the egg fried rice once again before deadpanning, ”This bowl of egg fried rice was personally stir-fried by the boss of Tian Xia Restaurant, solely for me It is only natural for me to pay respect”
Thinking of its value, Xia Wei felt as if she had won a hundred million yuan
After she finished paying respect, she picked up a spoon to dig in Jiang Zhi Zhou frowned and asked her, ”You just stroked the cat; have you washed your hands?”
Xia Wei: ”…”
Hoas this person so vexing He wasn't herwithout washi+ng her hands Yet under Jiang Zhi Zhou's burning gaze, she honestly couldn't eat, so she could only set down her spoon and go to the kitchen to wash her hands
”May I eat?” She deliberately washed her hands clean and shook the table
Jiang Zhi Zhou glanced at her clean nails and asked her, ”How come you didn't do your nails?”
Xia Wei countered, ”You say manicures are harmful, yet you still cannot leave me be?”
Jiang Zhi Zhou: ”…”
Didn't you say you wo to appear beautiful?
Xia Wei curled her lips and tried a spoonful of egg fried rice… Oh! Extreood as it was at Tian Xia Restaurant the last ti fried rice like this, she could eat a basin in one breath!
In front of Jiang Zhi Zhou, however, she hed, asking, ”How did you make this? Why is the flavor completely different compared to when I make it?”
Jiang Zhi Zhou looked askance at her ”For an apprentice to a master is very expensive”
Xia Wei: ”…”
Pah, who cares!
The orange cat alsoZhi Zhou barred its path ”You cannot eat this It is not your ht now”
Miao~ to give up the issue of not giving it food Jiang Zhi Zhou wanted to block it, but it directly leaped onto the table with nie, flatbread-like face closer to Xia Wei's bowl Xia Wei used a hand to push it to the side while saying to Jiang Zhi Zhou, ”Go give it a bowl This is the first tiorous and lively since its whiskers have been snipped off Do you have the heart to not give it a bit to eat?”
Jiang Zhi Zhou originally wanted to say that the cat cannot eat salty foods, but upon seeing the orange cat incessantly approach Xia Wei's bowl, he compromised
”It can only have a small bite” He used a spoon to scoop out two se cat's dish The orange cat meoice and resentfully lifted its head to stare at him
'This is all you're bestowing after I begged for food?' it seemed to say
Jiang Zhi Zhou chuckled lightly and crouched down to stroke its head ”You begged for food first”
Orange cat: ”…”
Catching the transient s Zhi Zhou's lips, Xia Wei quirked a brow slightly This Mr Jiang…looked handsome when he smiled
She finished eating her egg fried rice and began teasing the orange cat again Jiang Zhi Zhou's , so she deliberately sneaked toward the kitchen to stealthily observe hoasit
Jiang Zhi Zhou'sthe oven, adding oil to the grill fra cumin and salt on it After the mutton was taken out of the oven, he sprinkled on chili powder and curains
Oh, it seemed very ordinary
Xia Wei thought for a long while before returning to the living roo Zhi Zhou brought out the mutton, she realized he had actually skewered thea dozen or so in total This fragrance was even stronger than the egg fried rice soun drooling at that moment…
Since Jiang Zhi Zhou left the kitchen, Xia Wei's gaze remained fixated on the lamb kebabs She had not eaten laht it out three separate times; yet finally, it would reach her mouth!
This ti Zhi Zhou to tell her to wash her hands; she picked up a skeith lightning-speed and bit into it The larilled for quite a while and was still somewhat hot, but Xia Wei did not pay any mind to all this She only felt that the split second she bit into the lamb kebab, a tremendous wave of satisfaction pervaded her heart
Jiang Zhi Zhou frowned and watched as her tears fell down
Xia Wei breathed in through her nose and used her hand to casually wipe at the corners of her eyes She stared at the larilled la”
Jiang Zhi Zhou didn't reply and simply retrieved some napkins from the tabletop, which he then handed over to her Xia Wei cried, but she didn't forget to eat the la a skewer, her tears finally stopped ”M-ies”
She still continued to sob spas Zhi Zhou stood up and handed over two more napkins ”It doesn't matter In any case, this is not the first time I've seen you cry That tinificantly more excessive than now”
Xia Wei: ”……”
She cried twice in a single year, a rare occurrence, yet ere they all accidentally witnessed by him!
”My grilled la Zhi Zhou asked her ”Should Tian Xia Restaurant also begin selling lamb kebabs?”
Xia Wei: ”…”
Obviously the Chinese restaurant style was for the high-class; selling things like this, on the other hand, was for the common people
She once again used a napkin to wipe away tears andout for a second skewer ”I have been encountering the reverse river for the past two days The rent for the salon increased, and a nail artist suddenly quit as well A custo trouble without reason too All of this ht it out and was unable to eat any on three occasions”
But now, she was eating lah a one-of-a-kind, very accidentalfried rice Maybe life is not so hopeless, and I can have an unexpected profit?
Jiang Zhi Zhou , ”When you run a business, these things are coes can also be appropriately adjusted If a nail artist quits, you can recruit another Troublesome customers, Tian Xia Restaurant comes across these types frequently”
Xia Wei was a bit surprised ”Some people actually dare to cause trouble at Tian Xia Restaurant?”
”How so?As long as a business opens their doors, there will always run into bullies and rascals Not long ago, there was a guest who alleged that our soup had a hair in it and demanded aive his bill All the dishes he ordered had been expensive; his bill alone was eight thousand yuan”
Xia Wei: ”…”
That was…throwing caution to the wind
”And then? How did you call him out?” She curiously asked
Jiang Zhi Zhou replied, ”I called all the chef on duty that day as well as the waiters attending to the guests and had that guest take a DNA test along with everyone else to see who the hair belonged to”
Xia Wei: ”…”
Boss Jiang's h
”So he was terrified?”
”People who do bad things always have a guilty conscience”
”Receiving instruction…”
Once Xia Wei heard the entire tale, she finished up her skewer ”But your crafts your wife in the future has chanced upon fine food” Once she said this, she suddenly burst out laughing ”But a trade-building straight guy like you probably won't be able to marry a wife”
Jiang Zhi Zhou: ”…”
He snatched away the la for and expressionlessly said, ”I said I'll only give you two skewers to eat”
Xia Wei: ”…”
fuck, he was actually serious?!
She lifted her head to gaze at hi ”Did I prod a wound of yours?”
Jiang Zhi Zhou: ”…”
Xia Wei recalled that woman who he had talked to at Tian Xia Restaurant last ti Zhi Zhou ”Last tiirlfriend you're secretly in love with?”
”…No”
”Fine, you don't be shy Last time, you were stood up at the movie theater; was it by her?”
Jiang Zhi Zhou: ”…”
Although this was true, it was not as she implied
Xia Wei saw that he reuesses were correct ”Although I only had a brief glance of that girl, she was a very beautiful woman How could you chase such a person”
Jiang Zhi Zhou: ”…”
He didn't like her interpretation and was currently thinking about taking back his lamb kebabs
Xia Wei promptly protected the lamb kebab in front of her and shouted at hiy!”
”I auy”
Xia Wei: ”…”
”Okay, okay, I', okay? Don't take the lamb kebabs!” Xia Wei mischievously quirked her lips ”Let me eat soirl!”
Jiang Zhi Zhou barked out a laugh, sneering at her Xia Wei immediately became unhappy ”What? I, as a woman, know better than you…” She sed back her 'steel-straight guy' reirl?”
Jiang Zhi Zhou didn't grab the la down at her ”That woman you saw at Tian Xia Restaurant last time was my blind date match We had already broken up, and I was the one to end it”
”…” Xia Wei digested his words before ih you are the boss of Tian Xia Restaurant, others are not found lacking either”
Jiang Zhi Zhou inadvertently got into a conversation with her about this again and went straight to the point ”Because I was unable to accept that she had an ex-boyfriend, we broke up”
Xia Wei: ”…”
This era unexpectedly had a clean-freak man like him; it really was perverted! Hey, wait a minute, why did she think that this man was a bit familiar?
”…You, did you post on Proly asked
Jiang Zhi Zhou froze She couldn't have been so lucky to have also seen his forum post?
Xia Wei carefully examined his complexion, and then three black lines appeared on her forehead ”…It really was you, goudan'er?”1
Jiang Zhi Zhou: ”…”
”That name, I simply chose a random one,” he stated
Xia Wei: ”…”
To her surprise, it really was him
She coughed drily and asked, ”Do you have alcohol?”
Jiang Zhi Zhou looked at her askance ”Do you have a story?”
”…I indeed have one”
Jiang Zhi Zhou retrieved froerator two beer cans Xia Wei opened one and drank ablissfully ”I have meat; I have wine Life is very beautiful”
Jiang Zhi Zhou also opened a can of beer and sipped some ”Your story?”
”…” Xia Wei got her story together ”Youyours”
Jiang Zhi Zhou: ”…”
”Hahahaha, we have both been brought together by fate, ha Cheers~” Xia Wei bue of the situation to snag another lamb kebab skewer to eat
Jiang Zhi Zhou did not respond to her words and simply looked a bit curiously at her ”You were that poster as unwilling to be too intimate with your boyfriend, so you two broke up?”
”Mn…”
”…” Jiang Zhi Zhou was silent for a ood terht…”
”Because of that reason? You are thinking of sonation filling her chest ”I have a nobel Prize for the strongest iination that I must award to you!”
Jiang Zhi Zhou: ”…”
He turned his head, a so on his face in a rare occurrence ”Sorry…”
It's just that forwith his head…
After Xia Wei finished cho on the lamb kebab in hand, she drank another mouthful of beer ”So you previously didn't like me because you are a neat freak? Truly ridiculous You care if your girlfriend had any ex-boyfriends as well as if anyone else had an ex-boyfriend!”
”…I think all men wouldn't be too fond of a woman itches boyfriends too often”
”Hehe, if it were not for you hts in your head, ould switch that often?!”
Jiang Zhi Zhou: ”…”
Xia Wei once again reached out to grab a lalance at hi in? So fastidious”
”…I have had this shortco a psychiatrist was useless”
Xia Wei recalled his post had indeed spoken about seeing a psychiatrist She suddenly synize that this probleirl who had never had a boyfriend that difficult? Don't tell me you never ran into one?”
Jiang Zhi Zhou replied, ”I also have other require that as long as she never had a boyfriend, she will do
”…I also have several require my mysophobia
”You don't want to become too intimate with someone; could that also be a type of mysophobia?”
Xia Wei: ”…”
She stared at hi the beer can and toasting it against Jiang Zhi Zhou's ”Your words are reasonable; you deserve to be called an experienced person”
Jiang Zhi Zhou: ”…”
”The beer's gone Go and grab two rabbed the beer can and shook it twice, revealing that he had actually drunk every last drop
Jiang Zhi Zhou straightforwardly grabbed all the beer froerator and set it in front of her Xia Wei cautiously glanced at hi? Do you think that after I get drunk, I's?”
Jiang Zhi Zhou's brows jumped up ”I think you are already intoxicated; if not, you wouldn't be speaking such awful nonsense”
Xia Wei: ”…”
The two of them downed alcohol and ate meat as they chatted Unexpectedly, a camaraderie arose between them, one of hospital ward Zhi Zhou, ”Actually, your illness is severals tiirl who never had a boyfriend, resolving the issue perfectly I truly aht spent my last years alone”
Jiang Zhi Zhou raised his head and drank the last of the beer in his can in one gulp ”How can it be so easy? Forblind dates for er want to date”
Xia Wei stared at hi you invited irl you like in the future, I'll help give you advice! Oh, that's right; how about we exchange contact details”
Jiang Zhi Zhou internally felt that he had no use for her advice, but they could still exchange contact details Otherwise, if there was an issue in the future, he would have to seek out property ement ”What's your WeChat?”
Xia Wei took out her phone and reed and elderly people Us youngsters all use QQ”
Jiang Zhi Zhou: ”…”
Xia Wei had first began using WeChat, but after being ridiculed by other girls in high school, she and her best friend group, in a pique of fury, all moved to QQ
