Chapter Eighty-Six: A Meal Was Bitter and Embarrassing
Leaving CHANEL, Xin Yi followed Lu Mingli and Lu Mu to continue shopping in the mall. But Xin Yi was in no mood to buy clothes.
She quietly followed behind Lu's mother and watched Lu's mother choose clothes.
Once again, Xin Yi saw the difference between people and people. For Lu Mu, every clerk she met was very polite. A detailed introduction to the material of the clothes. Recommend the most suitable new style of the season for her.
Lu's mother didn't buy much, and in the end she only bought two cheongsams. But the price of the two pieces of clothing together is over 6 figures. Thinking about the 100,000 yuan IOU signed with Gu Jingnian that day, he and his group of people are probably really not in the same world.
The mood involuntarily became more depressed. It's just that he is still smiling cooperatively on the surface.
Near noon, Lu's mother took the initiative to stay with Xinyi for lunch. The three entered a Cantonese restaurant in the mall.
"Xin Yi, what do you want to eat? Wang Shan is meticulously dressed up, and she doesn't like to laugh, and she looks very unapproachable, but she has always been very kind to Xin Yi today. will also take the initiative to chat with Xin Yi.
"Auntie, you can order whatever you like. I can do it all. It's that I'm allergic to crabs, everything else. ”
"Are you also allergic to crabs?" Hearing Xin Yi's answer, Wang Shan frowned, and her expression was a little solemn.
"Auntie, do you have anyone around you who is allergic?"
Wang Shan smiled and did not continue to answer.
After a meal, Wang Shan would often look seriously at Xin Yi. Even Xin Yi, who was a little sluggish, felt the burning gaze from the other side.
This aunt is obviously meeting for the first time, but she seems to be very concerned about herself?
And Wang Shan, when she saw the small black mole on the side of her nose when Xin Yi lowered her head, the movement of the chopsticks in her hand stopped unconsciously.
"Xin Yi, how old are you this year?" Lu Mu asked.
"I'm 19 years old and 20 years old. ”
"So young. Are you reading?" Regarding Xin Yi, Lu Mu Wang Shan really has too much curiosity.
Hearing this question, Xin Yi was a little embarrassed, after all, girls as old as herself were still studying, but she still answered Lu's mother honestly. "Auntie, I'm already working. Not reading. ”
Wang Shan nodded and continued to ask, "Xin Yi, where are you from?"
"I'm from Lin Cheng on the edge of City A. ”
"Lincheng is a nice place with beautiful scenery. What about your parents?"
At this time, Lu Mingli also saw his mother's abnormality. He interrupted his mother's words beside him, "Mom, don't just ask Xin Yi, let Xin Yi eat vegetables, it's cold." ”
On the way home, Lu Mingli asked his mother if he knew Xin Yi. He felt that his mother had a lot of problems at the dinner table today.
Wang Shan immediately denied it, only saying that she was a little familiar.
"Mom, Xin Yi is Gu Jingnian's girlfriend, don't think about it, it has nothing to do with me. Worried that his mother would misunderstand Xin Yi as his girlfriend, Lu Mingli explained more.
"Mom didn't misunderstand, she just felt that she had some eyes and just said a few more words. ”
"Really? Mom. Strange to say, when I first met Xin Yi, I also felt a sense of familiarity. Lu Mingli, who was driving, didn't realize that his mother's face became even more ugly after hearing his words.
After lunch, Xin Yi hurried home. After an afternoon of hard work, Xin Yi was seriously doing mock exam questions. I want the topic to distract me.
When the meal was approaching, Xin Yi didn't make any decorations, and took the subway in the white sweatshirt that he had gone out in the morning to the restaurant that Gu Jingnian had booked.
This is a high-end Western restaurant, opened on the Bund, the box booked by Gu Jingnian is on the riverside, and the transparent floor-to-ceiling window is the rolling river.
At night, the lights on the other side of the bank are dim, and the prosperity of City A is unobstructed here.
From the moment he entered the door, Xin Yi consciously observed the customers who were eating here. The women were gorgeously dressed and wore elaborate makeup. The men are dressed in suits and leather shoes, and they are polite and polite.
Once again, Xin Yi felt out of place.
Gu Jingnian temporarily received a plan to come later. Let Xin Yi order first.
When you open the menu, it's all in English.
Xin Yi wanted to ask the waiter for help, and remembered the experience in CHANEL in the morning. In the end, I even guessed and ordered a few dishes casually.
Drinking water cup after glass, Xin Yi sat a little anxiously. Especially the waiter always came over enthusiastically to store water, and Xin Yi felt more and more uncomfortable.
Finally the big boss came.
"Didn't you buy anything today?" Gu Jingnian sat in the office for a day without receiving the deduction information.
Xin Yi was a little embarrassed, smiled and shook his head.
"Don't like it?"
"No, it's late. Let's eat. Xin Yi pointed to the dish and wanted to change his attention.
When Gu Jingnian arrived, the dishes were almost complete one after another. Before, the waiter asked Xin Yi if he needed to go up the road, but Xin Yi was afraid that Gu Jingnian would be hungry, so he asked all the clerks to come up.
The clerk was embarrassed at the time, but in the end he did not refuse.
At this moment, a table is already on the table.
"Why don't the dishes be served one by one?" Gu Jingnian frowned, he was a person who talked about the rules, and he didn't see that the dishes were served according to the rules, so he asked the waiter.
The waiter bowed respectfully and replied patiently, "It was this young lady who let all the dishes come up." ”
At this time, Xin Yi realized that he had done something wrong again.
With his head bowed and his face flushed. Don't dare to speak.
"It's fine. Let's eat. Gu Jingnian saw that it was his own girl who did it, so he didn't pursue it.
This is probably Xin Yi's first time eating steak. Knives and forks are not skillfully used.
With a clang, the fork fell to the ground.
Xin Yi was so embarrassed that he immediately got off the table and picked up the fork.
As soon as he looked up, his head hit the edge of the table again, and he inhaled in pain.
"Xin Yi, is there meat on the ground?" the big boss was still in the mood to laugh.
Xin Yi's face turned the color of pork liver.
"I'll cut it for you. Gu Jingnian cut the meat piece by piece and handed it to Xin Yi, "Now the fork won't fall off." ”
However, the fork was only the beginning of Xinyi.
Xin Yi drank too much water, went to the toilet halfway, and the steak was gone.
"Where's the steak?"
The waiter took it away. ”
"I haven't finished eating, why should I take it?"
Gu Jingnian looked at Xin Yi, and his tone of voice was very natural: "But the way you put the knife and fork just now is to tell the waiter that the steak is ready." ”
"I..."
Do you want to tell him that it was the first time I ate Western food?
Forget it! It's shameful enough!
After that, another mushroom soup was served, Xin Yi didn't pay attention, picked up the handle of the cup and drank it directly.
"Oh!" Xin Yi screamed in pain, obviously burned.
Gu Jingnian also felt a little funny. "This one is very hot, you have to use a spoon. ”
Music was playing softly in the box, and the cruise ships on the river roared from time to time.
Romance is something that Xin Yi didn't feel.
Xin Yi, who has always had a good appetite, usually drinks bowls of porridge very fragrant, but today in the face of exquisite dishes, he feels that it tastes like chewing wax.
The more exquisite the dishes, the more Xin Yi felt shabby.
It's been an embarrassing day. Xin Yi couldn't wait to eat a good meal and rush home, so he hid in the quilt.
And Gu Jingnian, looking at the girl's repeated embarrassment, felt that this meal was much more interesting than usual.
I didn't feel like I had a few more bites.
