Chapter Twenty-Nine: Almond Cake

As soon as she entered the lobby of the restaurant, Ling Yuxin recognized that the person who was coming in front of her was the entourage who had followed that Zhuo Gongzi yesterday.

Xia Huaizhong walked up to Ling Yuxin and hugged his fists slightly, "My master is already waiting for the two of you upstairs, please come here." ”

Ling Yuxin was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that Zhuo Gongzi to arrive so early, and she also sent an entourage to wait for them at the door of the restaurant, and she couldn't help but have a good impression of the master and servant, so she nodded to Xia Huaizhong with a smile, and followed him upstairs with Bai Zhu one after another, and after arriving on the second floor, he turned a corner and went straight to the door of a private room.

Xia Huaizhong knocked on the door three times, and after hearing a "come in" from inside the door, he pushed the door and entered.

As soon as the door opened, there was a small but elegant private room, with various snacks and a pot of tea on the table by the window, and Zhuo Haoxuan was standing on the side of the table with a folding fan in his hand, looking at Ling Yuxin standing at the door with a smile.

Ling Yuxin glanced around the private room, and then stopped at Zhuo Haoxuan, the moment their eyes met, Ling Yuxin saw the layers of waves surging in Zhuo Haoxuan's dark eyes again, and stood at the door in a daze for a while.

"Are you going to just stand in the doorway all the time?" After a while, Zhuo Haoxuan said to Ling Yuxin with a smile.

Xia Huaizhong immediately made a gesture of invitation to Ling Yuxin and Bai Zhu.

When Ling Yuxin looked at Zhuo Haoxuan again, there was only pitch black in his eyes, she thought again that Fang Cai was her own illusion again, she hurriedly restrained her thoughts, pursed her lips and smiled at Zhuo Haoxuan, took the umbrella in Bai Zhu's hand sideways, stepped into the private room with one foot, walked straight to Zhuo Haoxuan, and then handed out the umbrella, "Yesterday, thanks to Zhuo Gongzi, you lent us an umbrella, so that we were spared the end of being drenched in heavy rain, today we specially came to return the umbrella and thank Gongzi." ”

Zhuo Haoxuan smiled and reached out to take the umbrella in Ling Yuxin's hand, and handed it to Xia Huaizhong, "With a lot of effort, why worry about it, since the two of you are here, it is better to stay and have a cup of tea together and taste the snacks here." ”

Ling Yuxin was a little hesitant.

Zhuo Haoxuan was afraid that Ling Yuxin would refuse, so he continued without waiting for her to speak: "There is no malice in the world, but I just think that since I was able to take shelter from the rain under the same roof with the two little brothers in the vast sea of people yesterday, it can be regarded as fate, and today the two of them came to return each other for a mere umbrella, so it can be seen that the two of them are also trustworthy people, so they want to make friends with the two." ”

Ling Yuxin was a little embarrassed to refuse when Zhuo Haoxuan said this, thinking that he was obviously dressed as a family member at the moment, this noble son not only took the initiative to help yesterday, but also proposed to make friends today, but he was also a lover, so he nodded, "Thanks to Zhuo Gongzi who doesn't dislike our identity as just subordinates, then we might as well be respectful." ”

Zhuo Haoxuan was slightly stunned, she actually claimed to be a subordinate, if it was the previous Xin'er, she would definitely not say this, but after thinking about it, if it was the previous Xin'er, she would definitely not be able to wear the clothes of the subordinate and sneak out of the house, after the amnesia, Xin'er's temperament seemed to have changed, and she couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, and secretly determined to help Ling Yuxin recover her memory as soon as possible, as soon as she thought of this, she said to Ling Yuxin with a smile: "Little brother is polite, what is not inferior, I never care about this, come, please take a seat." , We chatted while drinking, by the way, the dim sum in this restaurant is very famous, especially this almond crisp, little brother might as well try it. As he spoke, he pointed to the plate of dim sum in the middle.

Ling Yuxin remembered when she heard Zhuo Haoxuan mention the almond crisp of Pinxianglou yesterday, Xiao Yurui once told her that before she lost her memory, her favorite thing to eat was the almond crisp of Pinxianglou, so she had already planned it, and after returning the umbrella today, she wanted to taste this almond crisp, and now when she saw this piece of delicate little round cake, she couldn't help but want to taste what it was like to say that she had liked to eat the most, and after listening to Zhuo Haoxuan's words, she was no longer polite, and said with a smile, "Okay." He sat down directly opposite Zhuo Haoxuan, and saw Zhuo Haoxuan glancing at Bai Zhu behind him, and hurriedly turned his head to Bai Zhu to make a look for her to sit down, but Bai Zhu only shook his head.

Ling Yuxin was helpless, so she had to sneer at Zhuo Haoxuan: "'He' has always been obedient, unlike me who is used to it, and I ask Zhuo Gongzi to forgive me." ”

Zhuo Haoxuan smiled and sat down, "How come, little brother, you know at a glance that you are a lover, I don't know what to call it?" ”

"Zhuo Gongzi, you have won the award, my surname is Ling, 'he' is surnamed Bai, 'he' doesn't want to sit down, just let 'him'."

Zhuo Haoxuan nodded with a smile, poured a cup of tea for Ling Yuxin, and pointed to the plate of almond crisp in the middle again, "Brother Ling, don't be polite, try the signature dim sum here." ”

Ling Yuxin smiled and nodded, lifted the chopsticks and put a piece of almond crisp in her mouth.

Zhuo Haoxuan saw Ling Yuxin eating the almond crisp, he subconsciously became nervous, looking at her with anticipation in his eyes, but he didn't want her to have a painful look on her face that she couldn't wait to vomit out immediately after chewing it twice, and couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, isn't it delicious?" ”

Ling Yuxin frowned and looked at the three people who were staring at her, she was really embarrassed to spit it out like this, so she had to swallow it hard, and then immediately picked up the teacup in front of her, drank it in one go, and then poured herself another glass of water and poured it down in one go. After drinking two glasses of water in a row, Ling Yuxin let out a long breath and said with a bitter face: "What kind of taste is this, it's too unpalatable." ”

Zhuo Haoxuan looked surprised, hurriedly picked up a piece of almond crisp with chopsticks and tasted it, and his face was even more surprised after eating, "There is no problem, it is still the same as before, the unique fragrance of almonds is mixed with a faint fragrance, and there is no other taste." ”

"Where is this fragrance, it's obviously a very strange smell, how can you think it's a fragrance." Ling Yuxin had an incredulous expression on her face.

Zhuo Haoxuan's eyes flashed with a hint of color, he knew very well what Ling Yuxin meant by the strange taste, because when he tried this kind of dim sum for the first time, he also had the exact same reaction as Ling Yuxin at this moment, but at that time, it was Ling Yuxin before the amnesia who told him that this was actually the taste of almonds, almonds This thing is indeed a little peculiar, people who like to eat it will think that it is a very special fragrance, and those who don't like to eat it will think that it is a very strange and almost difficult to swallow taste. Ling Yuxin belongs to the former, it should be said that Ling Yuxin before the amnesia belongs to the former, she has been very fond of eating almond crisp since she was a child, especially the almond crisp of this Pinxianglou, and Zhuo Haoxuan himself actually belongs to the latter, he doesn't like this taste since he was a child, just because Ling Yuxin likes it, and often pesters him to eat with her, smelling and smelling is not so annoying, after a long time, he can accept this taste, and he can also eat it as ordinary food.

And at this moment, Ling Yuxin's reaction after tasting the almond crisp couldn't help but make Zhuo Haoxuan wonder, could amnesia completely change a person's sense of taste and preference for food?

Seeing Zhuo Haoxuan's expression, Ling Yuxin thought that what she had just said embarrassed him, and immediately felt a little apologetic, and hurriedly explained, "Uh...... Zhuo Gongzi, I didn't mean you, I just didn't expect this almond crisp to taste like this, I didn't mean to offend you, don't mind. ”

Zhuo Haoxuan realized that Ling Yuxin misunderstood that he was unhappy because of her words, and immediately smiled and said: "You misunderstood, I just thought of a friend in Xia, I can't hide it, I was the same as Brother Ling before, when I ate almond crisp for the first time, I also felt that there was a very strange taste, which was difficult to swallow, and it was a friend who told me that this is actually the taste of almonds, and those who like to eat it will feel that it is a very special fragrance, and those who don't like to eat will think that this taste is very strange. The taste is simply unacceptable. It's also because that friend likes to eat, and often accompanies that friend, and after a long time, I gradually get used to smelling and eating, and I no longer hate this taste so much, and I can eat it as an ordinary food. ”

"Really!" Ling Yuxin still had an expression of disbelief on her face, "This is the taste of almonds!" Then why do I think it tastes strange and unpalatable, I shouldn't like it very much! ”

Zhuo Haoxuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and his tone couldn't help but be full of excitement, "What did you just say?" Should you like it a lot? Do you know you should like almond crisp? ”

Ling Yuxin looked at Zhuo Haoxuan in surprise, not understanding why he had such a reaction, but still explained to him frankly: "Don't hide it from Zhuo Gongzi, in fact, I injured my head in an accident before, resulting in temporary amnesia, and I don't remember the previous things now, but someone told me that my favorite thing to eat in the past was the almond crisp here, so when Gongzi mentioned this place yesterday, I felt that the name of this Pinxianglou was a little familiar, and then when you said that the most famous dim sum here was the almond crisp, I remembered it." , So in fact, I originally planned to return the umbrella to Gongzi today, I want to taste the almond crisp here, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of taste, according to Zhuo Gongzi, if I like to eat this almond crisp very much, then I should think that this is a fragrance, but just now I clearly think that it is a very strange, almost difficult to swallow taste, that doesn't mean that I am more like a person who doesn't like to eat this almond crisp. Speaking of this, I couldn't help but think of several conversations with Xiao Yurui at Chi Du Villa and on the way back to Beijing, and subconsciously muttered: "Is it really as my cousin said, after I lost my memory, not only did I not remember what happened before, but even my temperament and preferences changed." ”

The light of hope in Zhuo Haoxuan's eyes faded, leaving only a complicated look mixed with disappointment and surprise.

Ling Yuxin raised her eyes and saw Zhuo Haoxuan's expression, and felt more and more strange, but before she could think about it and ask, she suddenly heard a noisy voice outside the window, and couldn't help but be curious.
