Chapter 15 The Covenant of Beef Noodles
"What is this?" The day before his birthday, Lu Qi received a gift from Lu Zhen, a clay jar that was not a work of art when viewed horizontally and vertically.
"This is a clay pot made by my own hands, and there is your zodiac sign on it, how about it, isn't this thirty-year-old gift very unique." Lu Zhen smiled proudly, he hadn't done anything by himself for many years, if it weren't for the fact that he was the eldest brother, how could he enjoy this kind of treatment.
Lu Qi looked at the twisted snake on the jar speechlessly, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like an earthworm snake, and his brows were almost knotted. He didn't want to discourage his younger brother's enthusiasm, but it was really difficult for him to praise him for doing a good job against his will. So Lu Qi struggled for a long time, and finally made a pertinent evaluation that neither discouraged his enthusiasm nor went against his will.
"Yes, your hands-on ability has improved a lot compared to twenty years ago."
Lu Zhen said that there was no pressure to accept this praise: "I think so too, even Tao Tao thinks that the snake I carved is simply lifelike, it seems that I can consider opening a pottery museum." ”
Lu Qi actually wanted to ask him, where did this inexplicable confidence come from, could it be that he had been at home alone for too long, and he couldn't even tell the difference between politeness and sincerity. But now, there was a name that made him even more unhappy, especially from Lu Zhen's mouth.
After admiring the eldest brother's brows twisted into a knot, but he couldn't bear to debunk his tangled expression, Lu Zhen, who had a bad taste, decided not to stimulate him anymore and took the initiative to explain his intentions: "I know you don't like me to have a relationship with Su Taotao, but I'm too bored by myself, and sometimes I need a playmate." Moreover, on the weekend, I found out that she also had a relationship with the young master of the Gu family, and you, an employee, looked very broad. ”
"Gu Zhun?" Lu Zhen's words made Lu Qi a little surprised, he didn't suspect Su Taotao's purpose of approaching Lu Zhen before, and specially asked Fu Rong to investigate, but he didn't find anything suspicious. However, the Lu family competed with the Gu family in some areas, and Su Taotao, as an employee of the Lu family, had a connection with the next successor of the Gu family, which made Lu Qi have to reconsider carefully.
"What do you think of the relationship between the two of them?"
"In my opinion, they don't know each other very well. Besides, if Su Taotao is really a commercial spy invited by the Gu family, they shouldn't have recognized each other generously in front of me. "Brother for many years, he knows what the other party is thinking with one look. So although he thinks that Su Taotao is not a commercial spy, it is better to sue him now than to be discovered by his eldest brother one day.
Lu Qi was noncommittal, he believed in his brother's vision of people, but he still had little knowledge after all. So compared with Lu Zhen's blind optimism, he still has reservations about the relationship between Lu Zhen and Su Taotao.
"If you want to make friends, I can introduce you. After all, you and Su Taotao are not people who grew up in the same environment, and maybe you will find out in a few days that your friend and you have no common language. ”
"Then wait until I think she's bored, it's not a girlfriend, don't be too nervous, big brother." Lu Zhen shrugged, he just informed his eldest brother, what kind of friends he made and who he made friends with, he knew in his heart.
Regarding Lu Zhen's psychology similar to adolescent rebellion, Lu Qi expressed helplessness. After all, when his younger brother grows up, it is understandable that he should have his own life circle. Since he insisted on doing so, he could only secretly send someone to pay attention.
And Gu Zhun, who was suspected by the Lu family brothers, was actually very simple-minded, he just wanted to find someone to eat with him at the roadside stall today. He thinks that for a foodie, food is not only high and low, not only three-Michelin-starred restaurants can serve delicacies, but also the casserole of roadside food stalls is also delicious. It's a pity that his friends and those female companions can't understand the psychology of Gu foodies, and their noble stomachs can't wait to eat money directly. So it's rare for someone to be willing to eat this kind of civilian food with him, although there are only two sides of the relationship, but the opportunity can't be missed, Gu Zhun hesitated again and again, and still called Su Taotao's phone.
Before getting off work, Su Taotao was still thinking about what to eat at night, and decided very ambitiously not to get off work if he couldn't think of it. As a result, when even Xiao Xiao, who had always been sluggish, packed his big bag and prepared to go home, Su Taotao finally couldn't sit still, and felt that it was convenient to go home to find his mother to eat. Just as she was about to take out her mobile phone to call her mother to report, Gu Zhun's phone came in and solved her dinner problem.
"Su Taotao, I'm Gu Zhun, the one who took you to eat beef noodles."
Although this opening sentence is very thunderous, it is better to be concise and to the point, which makes Su Taotao immediately remember who Gu Zhun is. Speaking of which, if he hadn't reported himself, Su Taotao might have to replace his name with "well-wisher" all the time.
"Mr. Gu, I have time to eat beef noodles today."
"Do you have time tonight, I invite you." Gu Zhun was embarrassed, this Miss Su was really more direct than herself. But chasing a girl and asking people to invite themselves sounds too unmanly, Gu Zhun said that it doesn't matter if he invites him, the important thing is that someone is finally willing to accompany him to eat at a roadside stall, and it is too lonely to eat alone.
Su Taotao shook his head, completely forgetting that he couldn't see it: "I said that I invited you, if I keep owing it, I will not feel at ease." ”
"Okay then, seven o'clock in the evening, Dajili beef will meet you."
Putting down his phone, Su Taotao found that Xiao Xiao, who had already gone out, was returning and staring at him with eyes as if he had discovered a new continent. Su Taotao was stared at by him uncomfortably, and raised his hand to reward him with a burst of chest.
"Aren't you already out, why are you coming back?"
"If you don't come back, how can you witness the world miracle of the iron tree blossoming and the stone girl thinking of spring." Xiao Xiao sighed with emotion: "I have never heard you speak with any man in such a lively and happy tone, and you still have a spring color on your face, which made me think that you have a special sexual orientation." Tell my brother that it was a saint who kindly accepted you, so that I could chant and pray for him to live a few more days under you. ”
"The dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth," Su Taotao was furious, and kicked Xiao Bapo unceremoniously, and he screamed in pain: "I owe someone a meal, and I just invite it today, don't make up for the eighteen bans on my brain!" ”
"The eighteen prohibitions are not what I said, if you didn't think in your heart, how could you think of it." Xiao Xiao rubbed his legs, and didn't forget to add a sentence in his mouth: "It's normal for men and women to have that kind of thought, not to mention that you have a long drought and a rainy day, I understand." ”
"Then do you want to understand what it feels like to hit your body with a fist?" Su Taotao gave him a sinister smile, and his fingers clicked.
"Su Nuxia's subordinates are merciful, please save a little life, and I will ask you for information about Nuxia in the future." Xiao Xiao, who knows Su Taotao's skills, accepts it when he sees it. Gossip, don't be in a hurry, as long as there are clues, you can follow the vine, and sooner or later you will find out the truth.
"Then don't get out of my sight quickly." Su Taotao held her forehead, and even invited someone to have a meal to be picked up for adultery, has her unvainous peach blossoms been too much recently. Please, don't always make a false shot, what she needs is a real person, okay?
