Chapter 5 Hospitality
Early the next morning, Shen Han had just come back from morning practice, and received a call from Huo Xiaoling, saying that he was going to invite him to Alice's restaurant for dinner in order to repay the last life-saving grace.
Alice is a very famous Western restaurant, with high grade and expensive prices, even if a dick figure like Shen Han knows the name of this restaurant.
This girl is good, and she also understands Entu Bao, Shen Han didn't even bother to do it when she refused, and happily agreed to go to the appointment. Anyway, he also saved people in the tiger's mouth, chastity was as important as life for ancient women, although this era is not so valuable, but invite him, the life-saving benefactor, to have a meal, that is also the way it should be.
As soon as you step into Alice, you will be greeted by the fresh scent of plants, which are planted in the aisles and in the corners of the seats.
The light and flowing water of the green mountains is swirling. The smiling waitress dressed in a red dress shuttles between the tables, and her demeanor is quite elegant with a smile.
At a double table by the window, Shen Han saw Huo Xiaoling sitting there in a pink Korean cartoon T-shirt and pure blue hot pants from a distance, she shook her long ponytail and looked at the entrance from time to time, and when she saw him walk in, she grinned and waved her hands at him in a big arc, and shouted with a smile: "Shen Han, I'm here." ”
Shen Han smiled and walked towards her, and as soon as she sat down, this girl pouted with some dissatisfaction: "Please eat, you have to let me wait for you, you are really an uncle!" ”
Shen Han pretended to say: "Let Sister Huo wait for a long time, I have ten thousand fears in my heart." ”
"What Sister Huo, Miss Ben is in her cardamom years, a girl in the flower season, you dare to tell me to kick you to death again." Huo Xiaoling waved her small fist twice to show threat, and felt that her movements and words did not match, so she stretched out her long legs and kicked them twice.
Shen Hanwan'er, this girl's tomboy's temperament is also cute, at least much more real than those vain women.
At this time, the waiter Xiaomei came over, left two menus and left first.
When Shen Han flipped through the atlas, the spirit rat "swished" onto Shen Han's shoulder, looked at the atlas and his eyes lit up, and said to Shen Han: "Wow, this tavern owner is also stingy, a plate of meat is only such a small piece, it is not enough to cushion the stomach at all." Wow, this red wine looks delicious, I want to drink it, I want to drink it, I want to drink it, ......."
"Go to the side, what to drink!" Shen Han said unhappily, he didn't dare to let this stinky rat drink indiscriminately, maybe he would cause some trouble like last time. Ji Ji will transmit the sound into the secret, but Shen Han will not, as soon as he spoke, Huo Xiaoling was puzzled: "What do you say you want to drink?" Wow, what a cute little hamster. ”
Most women are not immune to fluffy and cute little animals, and Huo Xiaoling is obviously no exception. When she saw Jiji, she was immediately attracted to it, and stretched out her hand and said, "Little hamster, is it okay to come to my sister." ”
Ji Ji slipped a pair of small eyes, looking at Huo Xiaoling with great cuteness, which made the latter even more difficult to extricate himself. Ji Ji jumped and threw himself into Huo Xiaoling's arms, causing this girl to giggle and laugh: "Little hamster, you are so cute, my sister likes you to death." Shen Han, is this your pet? ”
"Pets? Belch...... Sort of. ”
If it's a little better, it's a cute pet.
This stinky rat is too much, even if he pretends to be cute, he also used his two fluffy claws to scratch at the magnificent and soft place on Huo Xiaoling's chest, and Shen Han also felt itchy when he saw it. And Huo Xiaoling didn't have the slightest awareness of being eaten tofu, and she couldn't stop giggling.
"Shen Han, this little hamster is so cute, can you give it to me? You can sell it to me or not. ”
"I'm okay, it's willing to follow you." Shen Han said generously.
Huo Xiaoling held Ji Ji in the palm of her hand and said seriously like a little doll: "Little hamster, will you follow your sister in the future?" ”
Gigi hurriedly shook his head like a rattle. This made Huo Xiaoling very surprised: "Oh my God, it can understand." ”
Huo Xiaoling's love for Ji Ji was a little more, and when she saw that she was staring at the menu, she tried to ask: "Little hamster, why do you keep staring at the steak and red wine, you don't want to eat these, right?" ”
Gigi nodded immediately.
Huo Xiaoling was even more surprised, and muttered, "Shouldn't hamsters eat cheese and nuts?" She didn't pursue it so much, and continued to tempt her when she knew what she liked: "Then will my sister give you steak and red wine in the future?" ”
Gigi quickly nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice.
"Then will you follow your sister in the future?"
As a result, the spirit rat immediately shook its head like a rattle.
"Damn!" Huo Xiaoling slapped the table and laughed angrily, where is this hamster, it is even more shrewd than a human. When ordering, Huo Xiaoling still generously ordered an extra steak and red wine for Ji Ji, but when the waiter saw a little hamster about to be served, he immediately ran over to stop him and said, "Mr. and Miss, pets are not allowed to eat." ”
Shen Han and Huo Xiaoling can also understand that if the plate they eat has been licked by other cats and dogs, they will indeed feel disgusting. However, there are still countermeasures, Shen Han kicked the food and wine under the tablecloth, and asked Jiji to hide under the table to eat.
The dining process was nothing special, and the two chatted about some light-hearted and interesting topics, which made the atmosphere very pleasant.
Near the end of the meal, Huo Xiaoling's mobile phone rang. As soon as she saw the call coming from the screen, a pair of eyebrows furrowed, and she picked it up and said, "Second brother...... Don't let me go...... I already have a boyfriend...... It's the same one who saved me the day before yesterday...... Yes? You want to see him? Well......"
After Huo Xiaoling hung up the phone, she looked at Shen Han with blank eyes and said, "Are you okay to be my boyfriend?" ”
Shen Han was drinking black tea, and when he heard her suddenly come to such a sentence, he almost squirted out. He smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Huo, I'm not such a casual person, I'll treat you to this meal......"
Now the little girl is also a little bolder, and she wants to get people in one meal, so beautiful!
"Oops, I haven't finished talking yet, and I didn't really want you to be my boyfriend, just pretend. My second brother arranged a personal home for me, and if he had to marry me, I would be annoyed to death, and the last time I went to the bar to drink was because of this, and I was almost ...... You're going to help me. Huo Xiaoling said coquettishly, I have to say that when a beautiful girl is coquettish, she is still very powerful.
"Paper can't hold the fire, sooner or later you have to goof. You still have a good talk with your second brother, if your sister is unwilling, your brother will not be reluctant. Shen Han persuaded him, he didn't want to be used as a shield casually, now women have become fine, and they know this very well.
Clinker, when he finished saying this, Huo Xiaoling lowered her head and said with a gloomy expression: "He is not my brother, I remarried my mother, he is my stepfather's son." ”
Shen Han didn't expect to talk about other people's sadness, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”
"It's okay." Huo Xiaoling shook her head and said softly, "Although he and I are not brothers and sisters, he still loves me, but in this matter, he has to make arrangements for me, saying that he is the right ......."
Huo Xiaoling didn't say the latter words, but Shen Han heard it, saying that it was the right person, and she was afraid that she wanted to use her marriage in exchange for some benefits and bargaining chips. What age is it, and it is still engaged in arranged marriages. And even if you have to do it, shouldn't your parents do it? Why is this brother who is not related by blood worrying.
There seemed to be some inside information, but Huo Xiaoling didn't take the initiative to say it, so Shen Han didn't ask much.
"Boss, just help her, what a good girl." Ji Ji's voice sounded in Shen Han's mind. This stinky rat seems to have been bribed by someone's wine and meat.
Seeing Huo Xiaoling's sad look, Shen Han also felt reluctant, and comforted him: "Okay, I promise you." ”
"I'm Brother Shen Han, you're the best." Huo Xiaoling instantly came back to life full of blood, pounced on him and kissed him on the cheek.
Shen Han instantly wondered if this girl's pitiful expression just now was acted?
In the following time, Huo Xiaoling enthusiastically arranged for him the identity of a wealthy family and how to answer some regular questions when asked. Before Shen Han saw her second brother, she had already begun to hear that her head hurt.
When Shen Han followed Huo Xiaoling to her house, he knew at a glance that the other party was a large family. The building is an antique building, with red walls and black tiles, carved dragons and phoenixes, quite the majesty of the princes and generals in ancient times.
"Boss, if you really do a good job of pretending, you won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life after marrying this girl. It's better for me to eat and drink together. Ji Ji sent a message to Shen Han into the secret passage.
Shen Han ignored the stinky rat. The two walked through the main entrance compound into the hall. The decoration in the house still maintains the antique taste, and there is a huge picture of mountains and rivers hanging in the center of the lobby. Directly below the wall are two brown Taishi chairs carved with unicorn beasts, and four guest seats are arranged on either side. More than a dozen grim-looking good hands stood with their hands in their hands.
Shen Han was dumbfounded, and a strange feeling of entering the gang's main altar surged in his heart, and asked Huo Xiaoling: "Could your second brother be the leader?" ”
"No, he's in business." Huo Xiaoling shook her head with a smile, and one hand was already affectionately held with Shen Han. Since acting, it is natural to do something like it.
"My dad is the leader. Hmph, that stinky rascal dared to beat Miss Ben's idea the night before yesterday, and I have already sued my father, and I can't see that he has a layer of skin. ”
Listening to this girl's full mouth of rivers and lakes, Shen Han couldn't help but smile bitterly, but I am afraid it is difficult to pick the skin of the monkey-faced man.
As soon as the two of them walked into the hall, a man in his fifties, dressed in red and black Tang clothes, wearing a thousand layers of bottoms, and a resolute and cold face, walked over. His eagle-like eyes glanced at Shen Han and said coldly, "You can sit down casually first." ”
Huo Xiaoling jumped up and down in front of the middle-aged man and said with a smile: "Uncle He, what is my second brother doing?" I brought the person he wanted to meet, why didn't he come out? ”
The poker-faced man known as Uncle Crane looked at Huo Xiaoling with a slightly soothing expression and explained, "Your second brother is dealing with some things, so don't disturb now." ”
"Oh, okay then." Huo Xiaoling jumped back to Shen Han's side and said to him, "Hanhan, then let's wait for a while, okay?" ”
Cold, cold? Shen Han looked at Huo Xiaoling's pretended tenderness and sweetness, and felt that all the goosebumps all over his body rose.
"Haha, boss, the girl is complaining about you!" Ji Ji's eyebrows fluttered.
Although Shen Han is not a descendant of a scholar, and he did not grow up in a rich family, he is still very measured in etiquette. He did not sit on the main seat, but in the guest seat.
Uncle Crane stood to the side with his eyes closed, playing with two iron balls in his hands.
After waiting for a long time but no one served tea, Huo Xiaoling muttered to the people behind: "Why are you standing stupidly, hurry up and serve tea." ”
Uncle He opened his eyes slightly and said, "The tea is gone, and it can't be served." ”
"Then, pour a glass of water too." Huo Xiaoling said hurriedly.
"There is no water either." Uncle Crane said indifferently.
