Chapter 19 Chinese New Year's Eve dinner
A week before the New Year, Lu Xun took leave from Qi Jue, saying that he wanted to take annual leave in advance, the reason is: the New Year is approaching, and he just wants to welcome the New Year and has no heart to go to work.
He thought that Qi Jue would reprimand him again, but he didn't expect that she would happily grant him leave, and wish him a happy New Year and a long life in advance......
When such a thing as a long life came out of her mouth, Lu Xun could only regard it as a good word for the time being, after all, he didn't want to live that long.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Xun was about to go out to buy a small cake and prepare an afternoon tea for Qi Jue, but Ling Xuefen's call came.
"Son, mom didn't drive, you come and pick me up, it's in the beauty salon over there in your studio, you go back and pick me up. ”
Lu Xun responded and arrived unhurriedly, only to find that not only Ling Xuefen, but also Song Wanwan and Xia Qiao, this combination was fresh, and it was the first time he had seen it.
Ling Xuefen took the opportunity to act, pushed Song Wanwan in front of him, and said, "It's just right, you send Wanwan home, I happened to meet Xia Qiao, let's go shopping." ”
Song Wanwan was a little embarrassed, and her cheeks were stained with a faint layer of red.
Lu Xun looked at Xia Qiao for two seconds, said "no problem", turned around and took Song Wanwan away.
"Let me ask you, did my mother really meet that woman halfway?"
Song Wanwan kept her head down and followed him cautiously, and when she heard him speak, she was stunned for a moment: "Yes, my aunt originally said to take me to make a mask, and as soon as I called you, that person came in." ”
Lu Xun knew that his mother had a good relationship with Xia Qiao before, and the only thing he could talk about in the entire H&Q hotel was Xia Qiao.
Xia Qiao is a person who can speak well, and he is exquisite, and he is very good at winning people's hearts, this is not a derogatory term, in short, it is just three words: can be a person.
From this point alone, Qi Jue, who is also the vice president of her, is far behind.
Lu Xun drove the car to the end of the shopping mall and said to Song Wanwan: "You wait for me in the car, I'll come when I go." ”
Song Wanwan nodded obediently, and as soon as he left, she let out a long sigh of relief, in the narrow space, his presence alone had already made her nervous.
Lu Xun soon came back, with an extra delicate little cake in his hand.
Song Wanwan recognized the brand of this private dessert shop, which is said to be limited every day, and if you want to buy it, you can only book it a few days in advance, and you may not be able to grab it.
"Do you like cake?" she asked.
"Give it away. ”
"Female?"
Lu Xun sneered: "Wouldn't it be strange to give a man's cake?"
Sure enough, it's a woman......
Song Wanwan's heart was empty all of a sudden, and she barely looked out the window, but her mind completely fell on the delicate cake in the back seat.
What kind of girl can make Lu Xun bother so much? It must be very beautiful and gentle, right?
Lu Xun must have liked her a lot.
From the front hall all the way to the second floor, through the banquet hall, close to the end of the year, everywhere are the annual meetings of major enterprises, the hotel larger conference hall has not stopped since a week ago, every day is full, even with the restaurant is very busy, at this time it is the front hall and guest rooms to be more relaxed.
When Qi Jue passed by the office of the housekeeping department, he found that Shen Yue was chatting with Si Qin, and he also went in and chatted a few words.
As a result, while chatting, the content suddenly developed in an indescribable direction.
Si Qin suddenly asked Shen Yue, "I heard that there is a little girl in your front hall who has been taken care of again?"
Shen Yue immediately understood, and said casually: "I have been favored for a long time, and it has already passed the observation period." ”
The two of them smiled heartily, but it was Qi Jue, who didn't understand what dumb riddles they were playing, and they were not interested in this kind of gossip.
The phone shook, and she took it out to look at it.
Lu Xun: I'll be waiting for you in the office.
She held her forehead, he didn't stay at home well, what did he run to her?
Lu Xun tidied up the desk for her, put the cake and coffee aside, and as soon as she sat down, Qi Xun came.
He raised an eyebrow, "So soon, do you want to see me so much?"
Qi Jue was no longer surprised by his cynicism, and his eyes fell on the delicate little cake.
"What's your birthday?"
"I specially sent you afternoon tea, I tasted the cake for you before, it is not sweet or greasy, coffee with milk and no sugar, can you taste it? Don't worry, I have already asked, you have no visitors this afternoon, you can eat in the office with peace of mind, and no one will find out." ”
Qi Jue took a sip of coffee, it was mellow and silky, and the milky aroma was very heavy, but it unexpectedly met her taste.
Lu Xun scooped a spoonful of cream and brought it to her mouth, but she lightly avoided it and took the spoon from his hand.
"Do you need to hide from me like that?"
"Have you ever heard a word?"
Lu Xun: "?"
"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. ”
"......" Lu Xun laughed speechlessly, with a hint of funny in his eyes, "Why is it so difficult to shoot your ass?"
Qi Jue dug another spoonful, she usually doesn't eat desserts, especially sweet and greasy things, she always feels that she is born with her taste buds, but Lu Xun is right, this cake is not sweet or greasy, with lemon juice, it melts in the mouth, and even brings some refreshment.
Seeing that she was eating happily, Lu Xun's eyebrows also stretched, lying on the table and watching her eat, she didn't feel embarrassed, and waited for most of the cake to be lost before stopping.
The afternoon sun refracted through the window and hit the top of her hair, making her whole body much softer, and her skin was fairer and shinier.
Inadvertently, the young lady in Lu Xun's memory completely coincided with Qi Jue.
He sometimes wondered, what if he confessed his mistake, what if Qi Jue was not the person he was looking for?
But he inexplicably felt that she must be.
"Hey. He called out to her, a muffled voice spilling out of his throat.
"Huh?"
"How are you going to spend the New Year?"
"I'm not a new year. ”
He was shocked: "Is there anyone who is not old?"
"There are so many strange things in the world, what's all the fuss about?"
Lu Xun nodded, thinking that she was very reasonable, paused for a while, and proposed: "Then you will celebrate the New Year with me?"
"You can spare me, I'm not used to it. ”
“……”
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the family was reunited, the sun was shining, and even the air was filled with a sense of joy and joy for family reunion.
Qi Jue cleaned up the house and went to the supermarket to prepare the ingredients for the hot pot in the evening.
Originally, Lin Li asked her to go to dinner, but she was too troublesome, and she was used to being alone, so she didn't bother to go over.
The supermarket is very lively, large and small corners are full of red New Year's goods, this season, the supermarket crowd is crowded, she pushes the trolley, and even the passage is a little difficult.
Remembering that when she was in Zurich in the past, every Chinese New Year's Eve, she would seriously cook herself a dinner, which was regarded as a reward for her efforts in the past year.
At that time, in foreign countries, it was deserted everywhere, how could there be a festive atmosphere, even if it was their Christmas, Qi Jue often did not join in the fun, unlike now, everywhere he went, he put up lights, and the word Fu was pasted all over the city, and he was happy and harmonious.
She stood in front of the fast freezer for a long time, looking at it carefully, probably so engrossed that she didn't even notice that the car was in the middle of the road.
It seemed that someone walked up to the side and pinched the voice.
"Miss, your car is in the way. ”
Qi Jue was startled, and subconsciously raised his head to apologize: "I'm sorry to ......"
However, after seeing clearly that it was Lu Xun, the tail note went up, and he suddenly stopped the unfinished words, raised his eyebrows, and looked at him fixedly.
Lu Xun pulled her car down to her side, leaned over slightly, and looked at the bag she was holding: "Shrimp dumplings? I know there is a very authentic Cantonese restaurant, I'll take you to eat, keep you to your heart's content." ”
She asked indifferently, "You also come to the supermarket?"
"I came with you, and I've been following you for a long time, and you didn't even notice it. ”
"What are you doing with me?"
"My parents went abroad for a vacation, I am not homeless, and I have no place to eat a Chinese New Year's Eve meal, thinking about it, I can only come to you." ”
Qi Jue took a step back vigilantly, quickly threw the shrimp dumplings in his hand into the shopping cart, and turned around to leave.
Seeing this, Lu Xun quickly grabbed the handle of the car, pretending to be surprised: "You want to dump me?"
"Lu Xun, are you stupid for me? I don't believe that you don't have a place to eat, besides, can't you go to the hotel to eat? The chefs in the hotel are all working overtime, why don't you let them use their spare time to get you something to eat?"
"As the vice president of the hotel, don't you know how busy the hotel's catering department is at this time?
The corners of Qi Jue's mouth twitched slightly, he usually caused chaos in the hotel, she had read the records, there were no less than ten customer complaints caused by him every year, how could he be embarrassed to say these words?
"You're really shameless. ”
"I'm just talking about things. ”
There is no point in arguing with him any longer, besides, there are too many people in the supermarket, and it is not good to stand in the way of others all the time.
Qi Jue pushed the cart to the other side, bought a bunch of hot pot ingredients, and walked to the meat area, juggling between beef and mutton.
She sighed, finally compromised, and turned back to him, "Would you like beef or lamb?"
As soon as Lu Xun heard that she was relieved, he immediately followed: "Buy it all, I have a good appetite and can eat it." ”
Qi Jue walked around the vegetable area for a while, and after buying what should have been bought, the two went to the cashier together.
Lu Xun consciously settled the account and got into the car with two big bags of things.
Outside, it was nearly dusk, and the setting sun was shining brightly all over the ground.
When they got home, it was getting dark, Qi Jue put the things he bought properly, let him watch TV in the living room for a while, and went into the kitchen to work.
Lu Xun visited for a while, looked at the time, it was almost time, and said to Qi Xun in the kitchen: "I'll go out and I'll be back soon." ”
Qi Jue turned his back to him, was processing the ingredients, and replied unhurriedly: "It's okay if you don't come back." ”
He laughed angrily: "That's not possible, I died begging for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with a cheeky face." ”
“……”
It's really rare, and he knows how brazen he is......
