Chapter 92: Dinner
The moment he hugged Qin Mo, Xiao Han realized that he had been feeling very empty in his heart for the past three years, and it turned out that Qin Mo was not around. Now, hugging this person into his arms again and feeling the temperature of his body, Xiao Han suddenly felt that the vacancy in his heart had finally been filled.
Holding him in his arms, he felt very warm and comfortable, so that Xiao Han was reluctant to let go at all.
Qin Mo was a little embarrassed by the hug, and couldn't help but gently push him: "Okay, you let go first." β
Xiao Han reluctantly let go of him, but his gaze still fell on Qin Mo's face.
Qin Mo tidied up his slightly messy shirt, stood up, and asked, "Did Yu Xiangyang tell you that I was here?" β
"Well, everyone in our club knows about his opening of an Internet cafΓ©, and he said that you are in Xiaoyu Internet Cafe, so I will book a plane ticket to come to you immediately." Xiao Han replied very honestly.
"You're too headstrong, aren't you?" Qin Mo glanced at him reproachfully, "What about the team?" You're also the captain, what's the matter with just leaving? β
"It's okay, it's already arranged on the team's side, and they will continue to team up and upgrade." Xiao Han smiled and said, "I think it's more important to see you than anything else, I really miss you so much." β
"......" Listening to his straightforward reply, Qin Mo's ears couldn't help but feel a little hot, plus he kept staring at himself, Qin Mo couldn't help but look away in embarrassment, coughed lightly, and said: "Xiao Han, Chinese is not like English, no one will put the words 'I miss you' on their lips every day, you will ...... in the future Don't say that again, it sounds weird. β
"Oh. How should the subtle statement be expressed? With action? Xiao Han said and stretched out his arms to hug Qin Mo, but Qin Mo immediately turned sideways to avoid him, and said solemnly, "Don't hug either." Just say hello and shake hands, don't bring the habits you've developed in the U.S. with you. β
"But you used to hug me when you saw me." Xiao Han's tone was innocent.
"That's because of our young age, and now that we're both in our twenties, it's easy to misunderstand two adults hugging each other." Qin Mo tried hard to convince Xiao Han.
Seeing that he had a serious expression on his face, Xiao Han suddenly felt that Qin Mo, who was so serious and preachy, was particularly cute, so he obediently took his arm back and said with a smile: "Got it." β
Then, Xiao Han stretched out his hand again and touched the top of Qin Mo's head, and said seriously: "Why are you shorter than me." β
"......" Qin Mo was about to be angry with him.
It is said that Xiao Han's mother is white, with a net height of more than 1.78 meters, his father is Chinese, with a height of more than 1.88 meters, Xiao Han had his mother's height when he was seventeen years old, and he has risen a lot in recent years, and now he is ten centimeters taller than Qin Mo.
"yes, shorter than you, who told me that I wasn't a half-breed." Qin Mo said coolly.
"Your angry expression hasn't changed." The smile on the corner of Xiao Han's lips deepened. In the past, he often provoked Qin Stranger to be angry, just because Qin Mo was angry and he couldn't look very cute, he didn't really understand what this kind of practice meant when he was young, but now that he saw the person in front of him again, Xiao Han understood - in fact, he did that just to attract Qin Mo's attention.
"By the way, did you have lunch?" Qin Mo wasn't really angry, he looked down at his watch and asked.
"Nope." Xiao Han touched his stomach and said, "The in-flight meal sent by the airline is not delicious, I didn't touch it, I'm really a little hungry." β
"I didn't eat either, so I'll take you to lunch first." Qin Mo glanced downstairs through the floor-to-ceiling window, then looked back at Xiao Han, and said, "There should be no e-sports reporters around here, you don't need to wear sunglasses and masks, just wear a hat to cover your hair, otherwise you will be easy to be watched when you walk on the street wearing masks and sunglasses." β
"Got it." Qin Mo was indeed careful and very thoughtful for himself. Xiao Han immediately put his sunglasses and mask on the table, and put down his suitcase.
"You bring so much luggage, do you want to stay in Nanjing for a long time?" Qin Mo glanced at his suitcase and asked.
"Well, I'm going to stay for a week."
"Have you booked the hotel?"
"Nope." Xiao Han looked at Qin Mo seriously, "I came to you so far away, you should let me stay at your house, this is called hospitality, right?" β
"......" relies on his own Chinese and plays tricks if he is not good, he is really good at learning in Longyin! Hospitality? Well, that's kind of a point. And there are indeed no very good hotels nearby, and it would be too aggrieved for Xiao Han to live in a three-star hotel, Qin Mo thought about it carefully, and said, "Okay, you stay at my house for the time being, let's go eat first." β
"Okay." Xiao Han happily followed Qin Mo out and put his arm around Qin Mo's shoulder, "What's for lunch?" β
He didn't want to take advantage of Qin Mo, he just missed this person too much.
There was a gap between them for three whole years, he didn't know where Qin Mo had gone or what he had done in the past three years, and now that they had finally met, he always wanted to get closer to this person. The boys expressed their closeness to each other, usually hugging their shoulders, he felt that the proportionality of this action was just right, and sure enough, Qin Mo did not dodge.
The two walked forward, and happened to meet Shen Qi's sister and brother, Shen Qi stood up and said, "Moji, are you going to eat?" I ask ......"
Before she finished speaking, Shen He hurriedly grabbed her: "Sister, you invite me to eat hot pot haha, Moshen wants to have dinner with friends, let's not get involved." β
Xiao Han gave Shen He a thumbs up in his heart, looked back at the petite girl standing next to him, and took the initiative to speak, "Little medicine fairy, right?" Hello, I'm Chili Ice. β
Shen Qi was stunned for a moment - the master who was playing the copy together yesterday appeared in front of him in a blink of an eye, has this person learned to teleport*?!
"You, hello......" Shen Qi looked at Qin Mo blankly.
Qin Mo explained: "He is my former friend, he just came from the airport, I will take him to have a meal first." β
Shen Qi suddenly realized: "Oh, oh, you guys go!" β
Qin Mo asked, "By the way, is there a better Sichuan restaurant nearby?" β
Shen Qi was quite familiar with the place to eat, and immediately said: "Cross the road and turn right, walk about 100 meters, there is a Sichuan restaurant called 'Tianfu People', and the taste is not bad." β
Qin Mo nodded: "Thank you." β
***
When the two went out together, Xiao Han suddenly leaned into Qin Mo's ear and asked softly, "Do you remember that I like to eat Sichuan food?" β
Qin Mo looked back at him: "Yes, you have eaten Western food abroad for so many years, and the first time you ate Sichuan cuisine after returning to China, it was so spicy that you burst into tears, and then I took you to taste all kinds of cuisines, your favorite is still Sichuan cuisine, and your favorite dish is called 'Husband and Wife Lung Slices', right remember correctly?" β
Xiao Han couldn't help but smile: "Hmm." Actually, I like this dish, in addition to the fact that it is really delicious, there is another reason. β
Qin Mo was puzzled: "What is the reason?" β
Xiao Han said seriously: "Its name is very interesting, husband and wife lung tablets, it sounds very suitable for young couples to eat together." β
Qin Mo: "......"
I know that he doesn't have good words.
Qin Mo was too lazy to bother with him, took him forward, crossed the road and turned right, and sure enough, he saw the four big characters of "Tianfu People" not far ahead, which were very conspicuous, and when he got closer, the faΓ§ade of this restaurant was carved with sandalwood, and the dining table and stools were also solid wood, typical Chinese-style decoration.
The two went to the second floor to find a private room and sat down, and there was a delicate wooden carved sign hanging on the door, which read the name of the private room "Butterfly Love Flower".
Xiao Han said: "I know that this butterfly love flower is the word card of Song Ci, right?" β
Qin Mo looked back at him in surprise: "You even know the word card?" It's really grown. β
Xiao Han smiled and said: "In the past few years, I will also look at Tang poems and Song lyrics, Chinese culture is broad and profound, my father is Chinese, I can't just learn daily spoken Chinese, but also learn more about these historical allusions." For example, if the love between the two is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight? The meaning of this poem is that as long as two people have a deep relationship, even if they don't see each other every day, they will still not forget each other, and I think this sentence is quite appropriate to describe the relationship between us. β
ββ¦β¦ You better stop using poetry. Qin Mo reluctantly corrected, "This sentence comes from Qin Guan's "Queqiao Immortal", borrowing the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to describe the relationship between lovers. If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight, it is said that as long as the couple loves each other deeply, even if they are separated for a long time, the relationship will still be unswerving. Not between friends. β
"Really?" Xiao Han was a little surprised, "What are the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?" β
"It's a couple in myths and legends, the two are far apart, and they can only meet at Queqiao every year on Qixi Festival." Qin Mo explained.
"Oh." Xiao Han seemed to understand whether he understood or not, "You are good at Chinese, continue to be my teacher." β
Qin Mo raised his eyebrows: "You invited a teacher like this?" β
Xiao Han immediately brought over a cup of tea and respectfully handed it to Qin Mo: "Teacher drink tea." β
Qin Mo was amused by his serious expression, and took a sip pretending to be serious, Xiao Han looked at his proud appearance with his chin raised, and his rosy lips wet with tea, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated a little.
Did he really use that phrase incorrectly?
But why when he first learned that poem, his mind was full of Qin Mo.
At this moment, the waiter came over with the menu and smiled, "Can the two gentlemen order?" β
Qin Mo took the menu and glanced at it, and said: "Husband and wife lung slices, spicy chicken, mapo tofu, and then a vegetarian fried oil and wheat vegetables, fish-flavored shredded pork, two bowls of rice, thank you." β
Xiao Han couldn't help but be a little moved when he heard him order the names of familiar dishes.
-- After three years of separation, he still remembers his favorite dishes, which shows that he also thinks of himself in his heart.
Qin Mo looked a little cold, but in fact, he was a very careful and affectionate person, and he would definitely keep in mind those who were good to him.
*
After a few moments, the waiter brought the meal.
Knowing that Qin Mo didn't like spicy food, Xiao Han consciously replaced the vegetarian fried oil and wheat vegetables with the spicy chicken in front of him. Qin Mo looked up at Xiao Han, the two looked at each other and smiled, and began to eat with full tacit understanding - in the past, Qin Mo would take Xiao Han around to taste food every time he was on vacation, and they already knew each other's eating habits well.
The food in this restaurant tastes really good, plus both of them are hungry, chatting and eating at the same time, and quickly sweep away a table of dishes.
Xiao Han stood up and took out his wallet and wanted to take the initiative to pay, but Qin Mo immediately stopped him: "You came all the way to find me, I should pay the bill." β
"Okay." Xiao Han didn't say anything polite to him, and said, "I'll invite you again in the future." β
Anyway, there will be many opportunities for them to eat together in the future, so there is no need to dwell on this time.
Qin Mo opened his wallet and handed the credit card to the waiter, Xiao Han was sharp to find that there was a photo in his wallet.
That photo looks particularly familiar, because Xiao Han also has one.
ββIt was a group photo of the two when they went to the United States to participate in the World Series of Miracles, I remember that after taking this photo at that time, Xiao Han also said to Qin Mo: "I hope that every year in the future, we can participate in the World Series together." Qin Mo nodded seriously: "Well, take a few more championships and go back." β
It's a pity that they only participated in that World Series, and Qin Mo retired in a hurry before the start of the second World Series.
Sensing Xiao Han's gaze, Qin Mo immediately closed the wallet, but Xiao Han's hand speed was faster than his, and he snatched the wallet. I opened my wallet and looked at the two teenagers standing side by side in the photo, they were still the same height at that time, and the expressions on their faces were young and immature, and the two of them lifted the national team championship trophy together, with a clear sky in the background, white clouds, and a huge statue in front of the main stadium of the first World Series of Miracles.
The crowd of people around them cast curious glances at them, but the two teenagers stared directly at the camera in front of them as if no one else was around, and their eyes could not hide the joy of winning the championship.
Xiao Han looked back at Qin Mo and said seriously, "I didn't expect you to carry this photo with you all the time." In the past three years, you've missed me too, right? β
Qin Mo's face was slightly red, and that thin red color spread all the way to the root of his ears, and his red ears were particularly beautiful.
"Shy?" Xiao Han leaned into his ear and said, "Just think about it, what's embarrassing?" We used to have such a good relationship, you think I should have been. β
"You're enough!" Qin Mo snatched his wallet over, lowered his head and turned around and walked downstairs, ignoring Xiao Han who was smiling happily behind him.
Xiao Hanle was broken, and thought: This is annoyed and angry again, and he ran away, right?
It is really incomparably appropriate to use these two newly learned idioms to describe Qin Mo's approach at the moment.
Qin Mo's heartbeat was still in a state of stall when he went downstairs, he ran all the way to the bathroom, washed his face with cold water, and took a deep breath, which calmed himself down.
I don't know why, when Xiao Han saw this group photo just now, he felt embarrassed that the secret in his heart had been seen through.
ββIt's really embarrassing to put a group photo in your wallet and be found by the other person in front of you.
Qin Mo treasured this photo, not only because he missed this childhood friend very much, but also for another reason, that is, he had been using this photo to warn and motivate himself - you used to be standing at the top of the world, holding the supreme championship trophy in your hand. Now how can you give up easily?
