Chapter 52: Giving
Chapter 52 Giving
In September, in the busyness of everyone and the final carnival, Hou Shida took everyone in the Liuer Company on vacation, and then it was the day of the 11th National Day.
The steamer's whistle was low and melodious, and he stood on the deck against the sea breeze, with the sound of seagulls and the roar of the waves in his ears. Although the sea breeze in October is refreshing, it can still make people feel uncomfortable after a long time.
Hou Shida took a silk scarf in his hand and carefully tied it around An Ran's neck, covering her beautiful neck like a swan.
Hou Shida asked a little: "Ranran, do I need to visit your house this time?" After all, it's a big port, so it's not good to get in, right? ”
His tone was a little hesitant and worried, and it hadn't been long since the two of them had confirmed their relationship, and it seemed that they had progressed to this stage a little faster. Hou Shida didn't want to put pressure on An Ran, if he could get married within two or three years after graduation, he would already be very satisfied, and it was not appropriate to enter her family life now.
But the people and plans are different, Enron's home is in Dagang, and Hou Shida doesn't want to visit Dagang, which seems to be a little unreasonable. But if you visit, in what capacity? Do you want to be a regular classmate, a close friend, or just a boyfriend?
All of this depends on Enron's attitude. If she decides to make her relationship public, of course Hou Shida has no problem, and she can take her home immediately to recognize the door. But after all, the two have just begun, and if they choose to hide their relationship from their family, it will not be strange, who knows if this relationship can be stabilized?
Of course, An Ran also knew the meaning behind Hou Shida's question, she touched the silk scarf and thought about it, bit her lip and said with some hesitation: "I think, you don't have to go to my house." It's not that you are not welcome, it's just that this is not the right time......"
Her father is a small leader of Dagang China Merchants Bureau, and the family is more or less conservative. Although I am not opposed to falling in love in college, the meaning of bringing it home is very different. As for letting Hou Shida come to the door in another capacity, An Ran felt that he had been wronged too much.
After all, the two have only known each other for more than half a month, and although An Ran now likes Hou Shida in his heart, he doesn't dare to say that this relationship will definitely last. Although she has confidence in herself and Hou Shida, after all, it is not yet the time to be able to get nine out of ten.
Although Hou Shida was a little disappointed, he was actually mixed in his heart. Although his position is not so strong, An Ran's cautious attitude towards feelings still makes him feel a lot more at ease.
"Don't take it too seriously, I understand." Hou Shida gave An Ran an understanding smile, pursed his lips, and said firmly: "Don't worry, I will let this suitable time come as soon as possible." ”
"Sir, ma'am, your meal is ready, will you eat now?"
The waitress in a dark blue vest and white shirt walked over, bowed slightly, and asked Hou Shida and An Ran with standard etiquette.
Hou Shida looked at An Ran, the two of them had been out for a while. The sea breeze is pleasant, but it is not suitable for blowing all the time. He saw that the skin on An Ran's face was already a little red from the wind, nodded and pulled An Ran to turn around and walk towards the restaurant.
The Voyager is a passenger ship that is still very new, and unlike the train or the plane itself, the modern people choose to travel by ship itself for the purpose of enjoying the journey and relaxing.
The Voyager was only commissioned in 2006, with four floors on deck, a displacement of 8,000 tons, and a capacity of more than 1,400 people at the same time.
Hou Shida and An Ran did not enter the public restaurant on the first floor to eat, but followed the waiter directly to the VIP restaurant on the third floor. It's not that the two of them have to enjoy this kind of differential treatment, but that Feng Wuji sent two VIP-level tickets at the beginning.
Their cabins are arranged in the best sea view rooms on the second floor, and there are also private dining rooms in the VIP restaurant that have been reserved for a long time. A passenger ship like this with the nature of a cruise ship is not inferior to the service industry on shore in terms of service.
Even in terms of service level, the level of waiters on the Voyager is even better than that of ordinary hotels.
Ship fares are even more expensive than plane tickets, and the journey time is longer than that of trains. With such a cost-effective ratio, if you don't make some characteristics from the service, wouldn't you want all customers to run out.
The things on the ship were a little expensive, and Hou Shida and An Ran just asked for some simple home-cooked food. A ground three fresh and sweet and sour pork ribs, plus a mushroom oil and wheat cabbage and a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup, the configuration of three dishes and one soup easily cost 100 yuan.
At this time, the meal had been delicately placed on the table in the private room, and Hou Shida and An Ran sat down and feasted on it.
"Well, you try this, the sweet and sour pork ribs here are actually well done!"
Hou Shida sandwiched a piece of rib ribs and put it in An Ran's bowl, and the red oily ribs were sprinkled with a little sesame seeds, which looked really appetizing.
An Ran took a bite, nodded brightly, narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said inarticulately: "Well, it's really delicious!" ”
Hou Shida sandwiched a few more ribs for An Ran, and then put a bowl of soup for her to prepare: "Eat more if it's delicious, ribs are easy to get greasy, drink some seaweed soup to remove oil." ”
"Okay, you eat-"
An Ran picked up a piece of the best-looking pork ribs in his bowl and stuffed it directly into Hou Shida's mouth. Seeing that his mouth was full of oil, he couldn't help laughing.
This meal, you feed me a bite, I feed you, fortunately it is in a private room, otherwise I really don't know how much damage will be caused to the onlookers "single dog".
It took nearly an hour to eat the food. Three dishes and a pot of soup, when they finish eating and look at it, they have to wonder how they have accomplished this great feat.
Hou Shida reluctantly stood up, pushed open the door of the private room and shouted to settle the bill, and soon the waiter walked in with the bill.
"Hello sir, your consumption is a total of 145 yuan, do you use cash or credit card?"
"Cash."
"Swipe your card."
"Huh?"
The waiter looked at Hou Shida and An Ran, who spoke at the same time, and was a little confused. This man and woman are obviously a couple, and under normal circumstances, men must pay for them, right? So after he came in, he didn't ask Enron at all, and directly asked Hou Shida for a settlement.
Hou Shida turned his head to look at An Ran strangely, but he didn't want her to really take out a credit card from her wallet, put it on the table and pushed it to the waiter.
"Wouldn't it be good for you to invite me to a boat, and if I invite you to dinner?" An Ran naturally explained to Hou Shida.
"No, the ticket doesn't cost much. What's more, I didn't buy the ferry tickets, they were all given by others. Hou Shida didn't expect that Enron would come up with such a reason. Aren't they boyfriend and girlfriend? It's normal for men to pay money for shopping and eating.
"It's different." An Ran still shook his head and said seriously: "My dear, I know you are very generous. But listen to me this time, okay? ”
"Uh-" Hou Shida looked at An Ran's expression, and had no choice but to nod and put away his wallet.
It wasn't until the waiter walked out that Hou Shida said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disrespect you......"
"That's not the case, and that's not what I meant." An Ran shook his head and burst out laughing. Looking at Hou Shida's aggrieved appearance, it really makes people feel guilty. It's obviously a man and a gentleman rushing to settle the bill, but why was it rejected? If it weren't for the fact that she hadn't quarreled before, Hou Shida would even suspect that she was angry with herself.
"I'm not trying to care about who spent money in this relationship, and it's not like I'm going to pay it back if you ask me." An Ran actually took the initiative to take Hou Shida's hand and explained: "But I don't want you to be the only one in this relationship." I'm not as good as you and can make that much money. But I still have the ability to invite you to a meal, so I invited, it's as simple as that. ”
Hou Shida gently shook her hand and took a deep breath, which suppressed his excitement. He is not a first brother in the love field, he is familiar with the mode of getting along with men and women in society.
Everything is not isolated, and Enron is actually showing his heart by doing so. She rejected Hou Shida's offer to visit her, so she had to do one thing and express her attitude clearly.
She didn't just invite Hou Shida to a meal, but expressed an attitude of willingness to develop a stable relationship with him. As long as he has this attitude, he doesn't have to be so eager.
Hou Shida's future girlfriends have never had the feeling that makes him love to the depths of his soul, and he always feels that there is something wrong with them.
It wasn't until this moment that he suddenly understood.
In fact, the spirit in Enron's book has been imperceptibly influencing him for a long time, and this is the magic of literature. He will unconsciously compare the image of the woman in the book with the woman around him.
Of course, it doesn't mean that they are not good enough, but they are not compatible with him enough. Hou Shida realized that he had always loved someone in his heart, and this person might be An Ran.
This may be the connotation of her pen, her rich and independent heart. To be able to meet her again and get her favor, this should be the luckiest thing in Hou Shida's life, right?
"I don't want you to be the only one in this relationship."
Such a simple sentence convinced Hou Shida that he really didn't make a mistake in love this time. This woman's heart and soul are so proud, to be recognized by her gives him a sense of accomplishment more than career success.
If you have a girlfriend, what more can a boyfriend ask for? This woman is worthy of his love.
