Chapter 228 Intention (1/2)
“Boss, he is here to eat stewed chicken with mushroom.” Manager Zhang gives a glimpse at Luo Zhen, who is eating in the booth on the first floor, and comes back to report to Zhou Wenping.
Zhou Wenping slightly lifts her lips, “Does he only order this dish all these days?”
“Yes. Boss, do you have any instructions?”
“No. You may go to work.” Zhou Wenping waves her hand.
Manager Zhang turns to leave. Zhou Wenping stands nearby and stealthily looks at the northeastern man who is enjoying the food. She feels very funny.
It has been three or four days. Luo Zhen shows up at noon and in the evening every day. What he orders is always stewed chicken with mushroom.
Doesn’t he feel tired of eating the same dish?
Or, … Does the man have other intentions?
Zhou Wenping blinks her beautiful eyes and walks towards Luo Zhen.
“Colonel Luo.” Zhou Wenping sweetly greets and she sees Luo Zhen suddenly stop his hands!
Hearing the voice of Zhou Wenping, Luo Zhen feels as if all the plants in the world blossom. His heart beats rapidly.
Zhou Wenping goes to him and sits by him. Luo Zhen’s hand trembles and the mushroom he picked falls down into his bowl.
Zhou Wenping feels funny, “Oh. Sorry. I scare you.”
“No. Not at all.” Luo Zhen honestly responds. He puts down his chopsticks.
Zhou Wenping glances at his rice pot. It contains about five or six bowls of rice, which has been eaten up.
Ha. Strong men have a good appetite.
“Why do you only order one dish? Don’t you feel tired of eating it every day?”
Luo Zhen smacks his lips. He is a little shy, “Well…Pingping, I am a poor man, so I can order only one dish.”
Zhou Wenping twitches her lips. She freezes her smile, “Ah. Well, Yijunxuan provides excellent dishes. The prices here are truly a little higher than that of other restaurants.”
As a matter of fact, restaurant owners don’t like guests who claim that they are poor. Hearing what Luo Zhen says, Zhou Wenping feels her heart a little tightened.
If someone else says that, she will definitely go away with any excuses. However, Yi Yunrui said that Luo Zhen was his good brother. So, even if she doesn’t like him, she has to stay with him for a while.
“Hum. The dishes taste very good. They are delicious. I won’t get tired of eating them every day.” Luo Zhen says. He rubs his hands, “The mushrooms taste so good, almost as good as that my mother cooks. So, I like this dish very much. This dish reminds me of my mother. I have been in the army for such a long time and I don’t have any time to go back to see her. Men should protect their country. I know she is proud of me. So, I have to be a good soldier to repay her.”
Zhou Wenping softens her heart when hears his words. She can’t help responding, “Army men don’t make much money and your family is not rich. Right?”
Luo Zhen is frozen at once. He strokes his head with his big hand. He feels a little embarrassed, “Hum. My family is quite poor. My mother is old, but she has to do the farming. Luckily, I have a brother helping her. Anyway, my brother will go to college in two years. My mother will be left alone at home. I am worried about her.”
Zhou Wenping slightly frowns. She listens to him and feels her heart tightened, “Does the department know your situation? Will your brother be granted a job?”
