Chapter 31: Are You Sure You Don't Want It?

The restaurant is located in a five-star hotel in the city.

Without looking at the menu, Su Qing could guess the sky-high prices of those dishes.

But even if she has done enough psychological construction, she can't help but be surprised when she sees the menu above.

It's a bit expensive!

"That, Mr. Huo, I said before that I wanted to invite you to dinner, but I didn't say that the location is up to you, right?"

"So?"

Su Qingqiang squeezed out a smile.

"So, Mr. Huo has eaten too much of this kind of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and sometimes he must try it, right? I know there's a 100-year-old shop where the food is really delicious, really. ”

Maybe it was because the moonlight outside was too bright, or maybe Su Qing was too sincere, Huo Long nodded unexpectedly, which made Su Qing feel agitated.

It's just that when she got into the car again, Su Qing didn't feel happy.

To be honest, she didn't want to sit with Huo Long, especially in the back seat of such a narrow car.

Don't the big bosses like that kind of car like a lengthened Lincoln?

She was sneering in her heart when she heard Huo Long's voice ring.

"Are you afraid of me?"

Su Qing innocently shook her head into a rattle, and her face was still the same as the signature smirk.

"No, no, no! Mr. Huo is not a tiger, and he has saved me many times, how can I be afraid? But Mr. Huo was discharged from the hospital in such a hurry, are your injuries healed? ”

She looked at Huo Long's head.

She remembered that the wound was on the back of Huo Long's head.

Huo Long raised his eyebrows, turned his head and left the back of his head to Su Qing, and there was no alienation in his indifferent voice, but with a different kind of warmth.

"See for yourself."

Su Qing hesitated for a moment, and pulled away Huo Long's thick hair, and saw that a scar in the hair was clearly hidden in the pitch-black hair.

She touched the scabbed place with her fingers, and the scene on the stage, Huo Long crossed the high platform and hugged herself tightly in her arms on the stage.

It's impossible to say not to be moved.

Su Qing took a deep breath and tried to change the topic.

"So why did Mr. Huo save me in the first place? Hurting me and falling you down is not the same thing at all. ”

Huo Long suddenly turned his head and looked at Su Qing fixedly.

The eyes were too dark, but the eyes were too bright, and obviously two completely different colors appeared on a person's face unexpectedly, and there was no sense of disobedience at all.

"If I say, I don't know, do you believe it?"

Su Qing's eyes flickered twice, she wanted to say that she didn't believe it, but the expression on Huo Long's face really made her have to believe it.

Moreover, Huo Long didn't have to lie to her.

Just when Su Qing hesitated and didn't know what to say, the driver in front of her suddenly spoke.

"Sir, Miss, it's here!"

Su Qing couldn't wait to get out of the car.

After Huo Long got off the car, he stood still and looked at the small shop in front of him with a smile.

"Are you sure you're going to invite me to dinner here?"

Su Qing was actually a little embarrassed.

People like Huo Long must have never come to eat in such a place.

But now she is shy in her pockets, so she can only use stories to add points to this store.

"This noodle shop has been open for more than 100 years, and it is a mom-and-pop shop. It used to be a shop opened by grandparents, but after they were gone, the grandfather's son and daughter-in-law took over the shop and continued to do it. ”

Mom-and-pop shop?

Huo Long was interested.

Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Huo Long walking inside, and then quickly caught up with him, moving the stool and wiping the table for him one step in advance.

"Xiaoqing, it's been a long time! Is this your boyfriend? He's so handsome! ”

Su Qing smiled awkwardly and shook her head.

"It's just, just a friend. Recently, the school has been busy, and I am looking for job interviews everywhere, so I didn't come here. How is my aunt and uncle doing lately? How's the business going? ”

The proprietress who was handing them the menu smiled bitterly, looked around and shook her head gently.

"Maybe, this store won't be able to open in the future!"

"Why?"

The boss who was cooking inside also came out and served Su Qing and them a plate of side dishes first.

"What else? Demolition! ”

Huo Long shook his head.

"If it is demolished, it should be able to compensate a lot of money according to the area of this store. That's enough money for you to open a new store somewhere else! And in my opinion, the decoration here is not good, the equipment is outdated, and it is estimated that it will not make a lot of money, right? ”

Su Qing immediately shook her head in retort when she heard this.

"Not really. Although the house and furniture here have not been touched, the uncles and aunts will repair the line every year, and there will be no safety hazards. And don't look at the fact that there are not many people eating now, during the day, people are lining up to come over, and the supply exceeds demand! ”

The boss shook his head with a smile.

"It's all everyone's applause, but it's just a bowl of noodles, where can it be so delicious?"

Su Qing immediately retorted, in order to prove that what she said was right, she also deliberately ordered the signature noodles and dishes in the store, intending to let Huo Long taste them.

He went into the kitchen to cook, and the proprietress outside told them the truth.

"If the demolition money comes down, it is a lot, enough for us to open a store in other places, but after a hundred years, we already have feelings for this place, how can we say that it will be demolished so easily? I changed things, changed places, even if I didn't change anything else, I didn't have this smell anymore! ”

In the end, she also told Su Qing to try it more these days.

"Otherwise, I guess I won't be able to eat it in the future!"

A few more guests came, and the proprietress went back to the kitchen to help cook, and Su Qing told Huo Long about her relationship with this shop.

"I was a kid and I followed my mom from here to there and from there all day long. Mom was going to work to earn money, so I stayed at home. But one day it was raining, and I wanted to give my mom an umbrella, but when I went out, I found myself lost. ”

She smiled.

"It was winter and it was dark. The road during the day and the road at night are like the roads of two different worlds, not to mention the rain. Standing at the crossroads, I cried with fright, afraid that I would not be able to find my mother, that my mother would be drenched in the rain, and that I would not be able to find my way home. Then, I saw the light of the shop, so warm, so reassuring, and then I walked in. Then my uncle and aunt ate me noodles, and then closed the door and took me to my mother. ”

Thinking of everything back then, the corners of her eyes reddened slightly.

"The funny thing is that when I was leaving, I didn't forget to pack the noodles that I didn't finish and said that I would take them home for my mother."

She took a deep breath, took a tissue to wipe the wetness from the corners of her eyes, and smiled at Huo Long with some embarrassment.

"Excuse me, I must be boring, right?"

Huo Long looked at Su Qing deeply, and suddenly thought of the information he had read about Su Qing.

I also suddenly understood what the teacher said before, Su Qing is different from the women he has seen, and where does her statement come from.

The heartstrings seemed to flutter slightly at this moment, but he ignored the past.

"You're doing well now, your mother can rest assured!"

Su Qing smiled and nodded.

It just so happened that the hot noodles and vegetables came up together, and Su Qing diligently handed chopsticks to Huo Long, urging him to eat quickly.

This meal is only a few dozen yuan, and even a glass of white water in that five-star hotel is not expensive.

Huo Long looked at the big bowl in front of him hesitantly, the yellow thin noodles loomed in the hot soup, and a lot of prepared fat sausages on top looked beautiful with coriander and shallots, but the taste made him frown.

Su Qing tasted it, it was still the same as before.

It's just that after eating a few bites, she found that Huo Long was looking at her with that indescribable expression, and she hurriedly urged.

"Eat it! The soup doesn't taste good when it's cold! This soup is made by my uncle with the best local chicken, and it is very delicious. ”

Unable to withstand Su Qing's repeated urging, Huo Long reluctantly tasted it, but found that it seemed to be really good.

As the saying goes, there are two if there is one.

After drinking the soup, it seems that he can eat two bites of noodles, and after finding that the noodles are good, it seems that he can also try to taste the fat sausage that he has never touched.

So, soon, a bowl of noodles and soup all bottomed out, and even the side dishes in front of him were all wiped out.

Su Qing saw him give face like this, and leaned over happily.

"It's delicious, isn't it? It's not worse than what you eat in a hotel, right? ”

Huo Long wiped his mouth and shook his head.

"Average!"

Su Qing pursed her mouth and paid with a smile.

It was only when he got into the car that Huo Long asked the doubts in his heart.

"If the chicken soup is really made from local chicken, then they can make a profit for only ten yuan for a bowl of noodles? Or is it all about cutting corners to fool others? ”

Su Qing couldn't help frowning and retorted unhappily.

"Mr. Huo, please don't impose your money-making thinking on others, okay? Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao opened this store for money at all, their son Brother Zhao is now doing business in country M, with an annual salary of one million dollars, and they have refused to go abroad many times. The reason why I want to stay is just for this restaurant and for the sake of the customers who come to eat in this restaurant. ”

Huo Long turned his head to look at the brightly lit shop in the dark night, and something seemed to break out of the ground in his heart.

Turning his head to look at Su Qing, who was glaring at him angrily and wanted him to admit his mistake, he gently tugged at the corners of his lips.

"It's me who is narrow-minded!"

Su Qing raised her eyebrows as she learned from Huo Long's appearance, and raised her chin proudly.

"If you know, it's good."

But as soon as she finished speaking, she felt a hand supporting her chin, making her turn her head to face Huo Long.

The man's handsome face enlarged inch by inch in front of him.

Su Qing's eyes widened, and she looked at the other party without blinking, as if she had forgotten to react.

It wasn't until the man slowly approached him and grabbed her lips that Su Qing's fingers slowly grabbed the collar of the other party's clothes, and under the strong attack of the other party, he slowly closed his eyes and opened his mouth.

She didn't know how she fell into Huo Long's arms, but by the time she regained her senses, the person was already lying in Huo Long's arms, her clothes wide open.

Su Qing's face turned red, she quickly straightened up, grabbed Huo Long's fingers, bit her lip, and her voice was as thin as a gnat.

"No, don't."

Huo Long raised his eyebrows and twisted his fingers with a smile.

"Are you sure you don't?"
