At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Cen Baihe asked the driver to park the car outside the villa and called Qi Yan to come out.

"You changed your clothes?" After getting in the car, Qi Yan found that the clothes on Cen Baihe's body were different from the suit he wore when he went out in the morning, and this set looked more casual.

"Well," Cen Baihe bent down to buckle his seat belt for him, "where is the place you made an appointment?" โ€

"In the hot pot restaurant near my former university," Qi Yan touched his mouth, "After graduating for a while, I suddenly felt that the things outside the school were the best, not only delicious but also cheap." โ€

However, it is also possible that the taste is not the taste, but the feeling.

In the hot pot restaurant, Lin Shuo and Wang Hang were chatting with the proprietress who was pregnant, and she was doing some cashier work in the store, so she had time to chat with them from time to time.

"You four young men, why are there only two of them," the proprietress grabbed a plate of fried peas for the two of them and put them on the table, "I haven't seen you for a while, you have matured a lot." โ€

"One will go back to his hometown, and the other will come over later," Wang Hang grabbed a handful of peas into his hand, "Thank you, Sister Xia." โ€

Sister Xia leaned back on the stool and sat down, laughing and regretting: "The four of you graduated, it will not be easy to see the four of you appear together in the future." โ€

Wang Hang smiled and said, "The next time our brothers come to eat hot pot with you, your baby may be able to walk." โ€

"You kid!" Sister Xia smiled helplessly, "Can't you take care of my business a few more times?" โ€

"Sister Xia, your popularity is full every day, how can you take care of us, come here to eat today, or you take care of us, so that you can grab a table," Although Wang Hang is a child from a wealthy family, he has been with Qi Yan and them for a long time, and he is used to eating in food stalls and small restaurants.

This hot pot restaurant is not big, because it has been open for a long time, the walls are slightly yellow, but it is very clean, and there are brand new tableware in the disinfection cabinet, which makes people know at a glance that the owner of this restaurant is very hygienic.

"The bottom of the pot is here," a waiter came over with a large copper pot and put it on the stove, seeing that the proprietress was familiar with the two young people, the smile on her face became brighter, "The mandarin duck pot ordered by the two of you is ready, are you ready to order?" โ€

Wang Hang raised his hand and looked at his watch: "Let's take a look again, it's tired." โ€

"You're welcome." The waiter smiled and went to another table to entertain the other guests.

"Won't Qian Qian be stuck in traffic at this time?" Wang Hang took a sip of water from his teacup and began to look around boredly.

"Before girls go out, they always have to change into beautiful clothes and put on some makeup," Lin Shuo said calmly, "It's still a few minutes before half past six, so you don't have to rush." โ€

"Well," Wang Hang was about to speak, when he turned his head to see Qi Yan pushing the door and walking in, he smiled and beckoned to the door, "Qianqian, this way." โ€

"Arrived?" Lin Shuo turned his head to look and didn't see any girls beside Qi Yan, but Cen Baihe followed behind him. Lin Shuo forgot a few glances behind the two of them suspiciously, and didn't see the other girls.

"Qian Qian," Sister Xia saw Qi Yan, a bright smile suddenly appeared on her face, and Wang Hang next to her sighed: "I know that among the four of our brothers, the most popular thing for Sister Xia is Qian Qian." โ€

"Don't talk nonsense, you kid," Sister Xia glared at Wang Hang with a smile, turned her head and squinted at Qi Yan, "Come on, Qianqian is coming, there is fresh fat beef you like in the store today, remember to eat more later." โ€

"Sister Xia is still good to me," Qi Yan pulled Cen Baihe over, stretched out his hand around his neck and said, "This is my family, you can just call him Xiao Cen." โ€

"Oh, you're joking with your friends again," Sister Xia didn't take what Qi Yan said seriously, and handed him the menu casually, "Come, you can order." โ€

"Thank you," Qi Yan took the menu and found that Sister Xia's belly was already bulging, and immediately smiled, "Congratulations, when you look at this fetal image, this child is a strong child after birth." โ€

Sister Xia and her husband have been married for seven or eight years, and have not been able to give birth to children. Since then, it has been difficult for her to conceive a child again, but fortunately, the couple have a good relationship and have not had a huge quarrel over the child.

"Borrow your auspicious words," Sister Xia said with a smile, "With your words, I will give you a twenty percent discount tonight." โ€

"Then I'm going to order a few more expensive dishes today," Qi Yan and Sister Xia laughed a few more words before pulling Cen Baihe to sit down in front of Wang Hang and Lin Shuo.

"Although this shop looks a little old, it tastes good and the materials are clean," Qi Yan turned his head to look at Cen Baihe, "It's just a little squeezed, will you not get used to it?" โ€

"It's good," Cen Baihe glanced at the steaming hot pot, "It smells good." โ€

Lin Shuo and Wang Hang saw that something was wrong, but the two of them were somewhat stunned by Cen Baihe's identity, so they didn't know how to ask. In the end, Lin Shuo pretended to be careless while adjusting the oil dish and asked, "Qian Qian, I didn't ask you to bring your girlfriend over, why did you two come over?" โ€

"When did I say I had a girlfriend?" Qi Yan rolled his eyes at the two, ticked off the dishes he and Cen Baihe liked to eat on the menu, and put the menu in front of Wang Hang, "Come, order." โ€

"Huh?" Wang Hang was dumbfounded, "No, the last time I called you, didn't you say ...... on the phone"

Cen Baihe lowered his head to adjust the taste of the oil dish for Qi Yan, knowing that Qi Yan likes to add a lot of coriander when he is hot pot, so he put a big spoonful in it, but he himself doesn't like the taste of coriander, and he rarely touches it.

"Would you like some salt?"

"No, just add a little chicken essence," Qi Yan shook his head, "Add a few more drops of vinegar." โ€

Sister Xia's hot pot here is Shudi flavor, the taste is spicy, adding a few drops of vinegar will relieve the spicy feeling, and it can also improve the taste.

Wang Hang and Lin Shuo silently watched Qi Yan and instructed Cen Baihe to mix the oil dish for him, and the two of them felt a little weird, but no one dared to admit the guess in their hearts. The last time they had dinner at Cen Baihe's house, although Qian Qian had a good relationship with Cen Baihe, it was not as close as it is today.

They and Qian Qian can be called good brothers, but they definitely don't have the patience to adjust the oil dish for Qian Qian, and they have to take care of his taste everywhere, and they are not babies, and they have to be protected and held.

The dishes were ordered, the dishes were served, and when the meat such as hairy belly and fat beef was just hot, Qi Yan said: "Don't you want to see my lover, I brought people over, why don't you react?" โ€

Wang Hang and Lin Shuo looked at Qi Yan and Cen Baihe stupidly with chopsticks, and their brains couldn't turn for a while.

While the two of them were in a daze, Qi Yan quickly scooped up the meat slices in the pot and divided half of Cen Baihe. By the time Wang Hang and the two reacted, there were only a few old cooked hairy tripes and old green onions used for seasoning in the bottom of the pot left.

"Qianqian," Wang Hang looked at Cen Baihe and then at Qi Yan, "You're not joking with us to grab meat, are you?" โ€

"Am I that kind of person?" Qi Yan asked rhetorically.

You are.

Wang Hang and Lin Shuo replied in their hearts.

"Qian Qian is not joking with you," Cen Baihe put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth and hands with a towel, "It's a pleasure to meet you again, I am Qian Qian's boyfriend." โ€

"You, he," Wang Hang stammered and pointed at Qi Yan, and then at Cen Baihe, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a few words, "Your family is not embarrassed about money, right?" โ€

"I like Qian Qian very much, and of course my family likes him too," Cen Baihe smiled at Wang Hang, "Qian Qian told me a lot about his college days, and I hope my appearance will not affect your friendship." โ€

He wouldn't say anything thankful for their previous care of money, it was an insult to their friendship with each other, and it wasn't something he should have said.

"That's not going to happen," Wang Hang hurriedly waved his hand to look at Qi Yan, "Qianqian, I don't mean anything else, don't get me wrong, I'm just a little surprised." "My own good brother, without warning, said that he bent and bent, if he doesn't react at all, then it's abnormal, right?

"Yes, I didn't mean that either," Lin Shuo hurriedly stated his position, "It's just that we were a little confused for a while, we always thought that you would bring a charming beauty over, so there were some gaffes, some gaffes." โ€

"How beautiful our Baihe is, what other beauty can compare," Qi Yan secretly squeezed Cen Baihe's hand under the table, "With Baihe, in my eyes, the others are red-faced and dry, and I don't even take a second look." โ€

Cen Baihe raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Qi Yan with a smile, who was chasing a detective drama last night, and said that the heroine was handsome and the queen of the royal sisters?

Cen Baihe, who never dismantled Qi Yantai in front of others, did not say this, but learned from Qi Yan and ate hot pot freely. But maybe the atmosphere here is very good, and it is a place that they are familiar with, so after eating for a while, Lin Shuo and Wang Hang let go, at least they were much more comfortable than the last time they came to his house for dinner. However, looking at the reactions of the two, it really doesn't seem that there is too much dissatisfaction with his relationship with Qian Qian, and even looking at his eyes, he is half a little closer.

Friendship in young age is simple and does not involve interests. Qian Qian said that these three people were obviously worried that he would not be accompanied by relatives on the Spring Festival and New Year's Day, but they always pretended that there was something in the house or no one, and let one stay in the dormitory to accompany him.

As long as they go home, they will take the thermos bucket to bring a large bucket of delicious food, and all the home-cooked food made by the family, not the things in the hotel outside. Although Qi Yan had no family in the four years of college, he was raised very well by these three people.

This kind of pure friendship was something he had never experienced, so when facing Qi Yan's friends, he began to join their conversation without a trace.

It is very easy for a person like Cen Baihe to please someone, and by the time the meal was over, Lin Shuo and Wang Hang had already shouted at Fifth Brother Cen.

Qi Yan muttered: "I am the youngest among our brothers, and now you have a brother called Bai He, is it out of order?" โ€

However, Lin Shuo and Wang Hang didn't pay attention to his hypocritical little problem.

But Cen Baihe spoke: "Then they will call me Baihe in the future, and I will follow you." โ€

Oh no, people who have a boyfriend have the right to be hypocritical.

I want to kick over this bowl of hot dog food!

When Qi Yan paid the bill, Sister Xia really gave him a 20% discount and erased the odds.

"I know that you college students will have to run in the blue sea after graduation, but you will have to be idle in the future, even Sister Xia will come here to sit," Sister Xia opened the โ–กโ–ก to Qi Yan, "We husband and wife have worked hard here in the imperial capital for many years, and we don't have many true friends, I am very happy to talk to you." โ€

"I won't forget it," Qi Yan took the โ–กโ–ก with a smile, "Sister Xia's food here is so delicious, even if you don't want me to come, I will come over with a cheeky face." โ€

"I knew that you kid could speak," Sister Xia looked around, and when she saw that no one came to settle the bill, she leaned her head in front of Qi Yan and whispered, "Qian Qian, didn't you say that you would tell fortunes before, then you calculate for me, my kid ......"

"Sister Xia," Qi Yan stretched out his index finger and made a shushing gesture to his mouth, "You forgot, I just said that the child in your belly must be very strong after birth." โ€

When Sister Xia heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly smiled: "Hey, I'm relieved to have you say this." โ€

Qi Yan was stunned: "You believe me so much?" โ€

"I don't dare to believe others, I still believe what you say," Sister Xia stuffed a carton of milk into Qi Yan's hand, "After the child is born, I will bring him to worship you." โ€

Qi Yan smiled, what is the custom of worshipping?

"Sister Xia, you have given Qian Qian special treatment again," Wang Hang saw the milk in Qi Yan's hand, "You are really biased." โ€

"I knew you would make trouble," Sister Xia took two cartons of milk and stuffed them into Wang Hang's hands, and after stuffing them, she took another box and gave it to Cen Baihe alone, "Come on, this box is yours." โ€

Milk is not expensive, but this is the first time Cen Baihe has experienced this simple enthusiasm, until he walked out of the hot pot restaurant, he was still stunned holding a carton of milk and did not move.

"If you can't get used to this taste, just give it to me," Qi Yan stretched out his hand to Cen Baihe, "I like this taste a lot." โ€

"No," Cen Baihe inserted the straw into the box and lowered his head to take a sip, "It's delicious." โ€

He was very glad that Qian Qian was able to meet such good people. Because of these good people, he can meet such a good money.
