Chapter 19: The Society of Faces

It's a new day, and the sky is sunny after the rain.

The road surface is still wet, the morning breeze is coming, and the air is fresh.

Hua Tao didn't sleep well all night last night, and was woken up by Xia Sheng early in the morning, washing up in a daze, because the hotel does not provide breakfast, and there are no convenience stores around, so she can only go on the road hungry.

The elevator in the hotel had not been repaired and was out of use, and Hua Tao was sleepy when she walked down the stairs with her eyes closed almost the whole time.

"Do you want me to carry you down?" Xia Sheng was a little worried that she would step on the air and roll directly to the lobby.

"No, I'm not wearing high heels." Hua Tao was stunned and sleepwalked through three flights of stairs.

Xia Sheng went to check out, and she sat on the side and dozed off, her head little by little, like a chicken pecking rice.

Xia Sheng took back the deposit, walked up to her with his luggage, bent down to look at her for a while, and couldn't help laughing.

"You've pecked all the rice, let's go." Large hands ran through her hair, very gently.

Hua Tao opened her eyes, looking dazed, and met his green and clear eyes in a daze.

It's beautiful. She thought, how can there be such beautiful eyes, there is no second pair in the world, right?

The beautiful green eyes bent, and then a deep and pleasant voice sounded: "Little Peach, let's go." ”

Her hand was wrapped in a large hand, and she was stunned, and when she looked down, she saw that it was a very beautiful hand.

When he walked out of the door of the hotel, a gust of wind blew, and his eyes widened and he woke up.

Xia Sheng kept pulling her to the side of the car, and she suddenly had the illusion that she had become a little girl and was being led home by the big brother next door.

When she opened the trunk of the car to put her luggage, Xia Sheng let go of her hand, and the warmth that disappeared suddenly made her a little lost, but then she felt that something was wrong, and she was not a primary school student, what kind of hand?

"I'll sit in the back today." Hua Tao didn't wait for Xia Sheng to answer and got into the car.

The back row is very spacious, and it is really more comfortable than the front position, Hua Tao lay down, curled up and went to sleep.

"Did you sleepwalk last night? Tired like this. Xia Sheng sat in the driver's seat, turned around and stared at her for a long time, and couldn't help asking.

Hua Tao opened her eyes and said in a vague tone: "Yes, I sleepwalked and did five hundred squats last night, and now I'm tired to death." ”

Xia Shengle said: "Why do you do squats?" ”

Hua Tao turned her head and glanced at him: "The room is just that little space, it's good to be able to do squats." ”

The navigation shows that you can drive for another two hours to reach Honglin County, and then you can find a place to eat and then go to Honglin Town.

The journey was smooth, Xia Sheng drove the car very steadily, Hua Tao didn't feel bumpy at all, and slept very satisfied.

Finally, he woke up hungry.

"Haven't you arrived yet?" Hua Tao found that she had been in the same sleeping position, and her hands and feet were stiff, especially her neck, which was so sore.

She sat up, rubbing her sleepy eyes and pinching the back of her neck.

Xia Sheng glanced at her from the rearview mirror and said with a smile: "There are still about twenty minutes, you are really good, sleeping like a dead pig." ”

"You're a dead pig." Hua Tao hates others for associating her with pigs, especially when she dies.

Xia Sheng hooked the corners of his mouth, chewed a few times, and said with a smile: "That looks like a piglet?" ”

"No, either." No matter how small it is, it's a pig, but it's not a pig.

"How cute the little pig is, when you fall asleep, you're as cute as the little pig, flower ~ little ~ pig." Xia Sheng is going to confront her, the more she doesn't like to listen, the more he wants to talk.

Hua Tao was all angry with him.

The mouth grows on someone else, and it's useless for her to be anxious. What's more, she saw that Xia Sheng was just trying to tease her, waiting to see that she was in a hurry, why did she want to do what he wanted?

Xia Sheng chewed a few more times, chewing loudly.

Hua Tao couldn't help but ask, "What are you eating?" "It's hard to get fat alone, please look at her expectant little eyes.

Xia Sheng fumbled in the drawer for a while, and then threw the things over.

Hua Tao caught it with both hands, and took a closer look, Green Arrow chewing gum?

"You like to eat this, no wonder it smells of mint." Hua Tao muttered quietly.

"What?" Xia Sheng didn't hear clearly, so he asked.

"Nope." Hua Tao slowly peeled off the outer layer of paper, "Is there anything else to eat, I'm starving." ”

"Bear with me, I've already eaten what I have to eat, and it's gone now." Xia Sheng looked at the navigation, "There are still ten minutes to get off the highway." ”

Hua Tao stuffed the gum into her mouth and chewed it twice, and the sweetness suddenly filled her mouth.

It's really uncomfortable to be hungry while awake, so I would have slept for another ten minutes if I knew it.

Hua Tao was idle and bored, and there was no scenery outside the car window, her eyes drifted around, and finally fell on Xia Sheng's handsome and extraordinary face.

Handsome, really handsome, beautiful and delicious...... It's a pity that I'm still hungry.

The car got off the highway under the silent urging of Hua Tao, but there was still no convenience store nearby.

"I really want to eat braised pig's trotters, as well as plum cabbage button meat, boiled pork slices, ......" Hua Tao lay on the back of the chair in the front seat, muttering weakly.

Xia Sheng glanced at her: "You're not too greasy?" He also said that he was not a pig. ”

"Which pig have you ever seen that eats braised pig's trotters?" Hua Tao asked rhetorically.

The jade-colored eyes bent down, with a deep smile: "It's really not, just you are special." ”

Hua Tao: "......"

I finally saw the store, and Hua Tao's excitement was indescribable.

"Stop, stop, I see the restaurant." Hua Tao patted the back of her chair and shouted.

"Okay, okay, don't get excited." Xia Sheng slowed down and found a place to park.

Hua Tao couldn't wait to open the door and get out of the car, staring at the hotel's signboard with a green light.

Xia Sheng locked the car and led her into the hotel: "Come on, come on, my brother will take you to eat something delicious." ”

The environment of this restaurant is quite clean, and now it is not yet a meal, and there are basically no guests.

As soon as Hua Tao sat down, she immediately opened the menu and read the names of the dishes in order: "Come on, give me the kung pao chicken, mushu meat, squid yuba, back to the pot meat, pig blood and intestine pot......"

"Stop, don't do this." Xia Sheng frowned and said, "I don't eat intestines." ”

"Then change it to pickled pepper chicken."

"Wait, the pheasant is a frog, right?" Xia Sheng interrupted her again.

Hua Tao glanced at him impatiently, and the eldest young master was very picky when he ate a dish: "...... So stir-fried beef with black peppers? ”

"This one does." Xia Sheng finally nodded.

The waiter came over and said, "Two ...... It's not lunch yet. ”

As soon as Hua Tao let go, the menu fell to the table.

"So what's going on now?" Xia Sheng looked up at the waiter and asked.

The waiter's eyes suddenly lit up, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he bowed his head a little embarrassedly and said, "There are only rice noodles left over from the morning market, do you want them?" ”

Hua Tao: "......"

Xia Sheng said: "Yes, it's better than nothing." What's left? ”

The waiter said, "There are fried yuba, mushroom chicken, sweet and sour pig's trotters, beef brisket, tripe, beef intestines, ......."

"I want shiitake mushroom chicken, thank you. Give the young lady on the other side a sweet and sour pig's trotters. Xia Sheng interrupted the waiter's introduction.

Hua Tao reacted at this time, and hurriedly stopped the waiter and said, "I don't want pig's trotters, I also want mushroom chicken." ”

asked her to grin and gnaw on pig's trotters in front of Xia Sheng...... It's a bit of a no-brainer.

Xia Shengqi asked: "Hey, didn't you keep shouting to eat pig's trotters just now?" ”

"Then did you hear me shouting red boil?" Hua Tao asked rhetorically.

The waiter said, "We also have the braised ones." ”

The noble son's green eyes suddenly bent, and his shoulders trembled with laughter.

"......" Hua Tao calmly emphasized, "Please give me a mushroom chicken rice noodles, thank you." ”

The rice noodles are on very quickly, although the style of the restaurant in the small county town is not high, but the food is very heroic, one person has a large bowl, and the mushroom and chicken are piled up as high as a hill.

Great value for money, the people in the county are simple.

Hua Tao threw off his arms and started eating, Xia Sheng was very slow and organized, and picked out the green onions one by one.

Hua Tao kept sucking on the rice noodles while also having time to glance at Xia Sheng opposite.

"You don't like to eat green onions, why didn't you say it earlier, when did you pick it like this?" Hua Tao can't stand it anymore.

Xia Sheng said: "I will vomit when I eat green onions. ”

Hua Tao will be suspicious, she has never heard of anyone vomiting after eating green onions.

"Then you pick slowly." Hua Tao couldn't help it, and continued to bury her head in eating.

Xia Sheng glanced at her bowl, then tapped the table with his index finger and said, "Flower piggy." ”

Hua Tao immediately raised her head and glared at him angrily, with food in her mouth, and her cheeks on both sides bulged.

Xia Sheng's green eyes bent again, and he reached out and poked her cheek, which was slapped off by her.

"Your bowl doesn't have chopped green onions, let's change it." Xia Sheng said.

Hua Tao finally swallowed a mouthful of food, protected her bowl and said, "It's not that I didn't have it, I ate it." ”

"Then you'll eat mine." Xia Sheng said, "Come, let's change." ”

Hua Tao shook her head and said, "I've already eaten this bowl, it's not good." ”

"I don't even mind." Xia Sheng insisted on changing.

"But it's weird that you eat my saliva." Hua Tao felt a little embarrassed.

"It's not like you're eating my saliva." Xia Sheng said helplessly.

"It's ...... anyway It's weird. "Hua Tao is reluctant to die.

Xia Sheng couldn't help it, sighed and said: "Then forget it, let me starve to death, I'm so hungry, I don't have the strength to pick onions, and my head is a little dizzy, I don't know if it has anything to do with the collision last night......"

Hua Tao: "......"

Xia Sheng blinked his demonic green eyes, threw down his chopsticks, and lay listlessly on the table.

Hua Tao moved her lips and said in a tone that was more helpless than him: "Forget it, I'll help you choose." ”

Xia Sheng immediately sat up straight and pushed his bowl over.

Hua Tao: "......"

It took five minutes to pick and choose, and finally all the green onions were cleared, and there was not a single one left.

"Young Master, it's time to dine now." Hua Tao pushed the bowl back and handed the chopsticks with both hands.

Xia Sheng took the chopsticks with a smile and finally began to eat.

A few more guests came one after another, and Hua Tao quietly kicked Xia Sheng's foot under the table.

Xia Sheng looked at him suspiciously.

Hua Tao pouted angrily and motioned for him to look at the table next to him.

Xia Sheng glanced over there, turned his head and lowered his voice and said, "It's a little strange that you are aesthetically pleasing. ”

Hua Tao also lowered her voice and said, "I didn't let you see his appearance, you look at his bowl, it's much smaller than ours." ”

Xia Sheng raised his eyebrows, with a natural expression: "If you sell something, you will also be biased." ”

Hua Tao: "......"

Xia Sheng hooked the corners of his mouth and concluded: "This is a society that looks at faces." ”
