Chapter 9: Refuge

Meng Tangtang had to admit that she was really hungry.

When a table full of dishes was placed in front of her, if it weren't for her strong willpower, Meng Tangtang couldn't stand the hunger, and it wasn't until Qin Zhao started to move that she raised her chopsticks, and then ate slowly.

There is no way, the rules taught by my parents are too ingrained, so ingrained that they can defeat the instinctive reactions of humans.

All of a sudden...... In the whole restaurant, except for the faint sound of porcelain colliding, there was not even a single superfluous sound.

For Meng Tangtang's good tutoring, Qin Zhao was very surprised. It can be seen from the fact that she eats alone that even if Meng Tangtang's original family is not a high-ranking family, it is by no means an ordinary small family.

Just when Qin Zhao was secretly observing Meng Tangtang, Meng Tangtang was also secretly observing President Qin.

She was simply amazed by the way Qin Zhao was eating.

As Qin Xiaoxiang's teacher, she could guess from the child that Qin Zhao's words and deeds must be very decent, but she didn't expect him to be 'decent' like this.

The same action, if it is done by another person, it may make people feel twisted and contrived, but when it is placed on Qin Zhao, there is no sense of disobedience at all, and the aristocratic temperament on his body seems to be innate.

She suddenly regretted that if she hadn't come to this meal, she would have been able to eat and drink soup in a boxed lunch in the convenience store now, instead of eating so much like she did now.

.

"Teacher Meng~" Qin Xiaoxiang tilted his head and asked innocently, "Why are they all eaten in small bites?" ”

Meng Tangtang was smiling bitterly in her heart, but she couldn't tell the children: In the face of the president, or a president who eats very elegantly and decently, how can the teacher be embarrassed to 'eat and drink'?

"Teacher Meng......"

"Xiaoxiang." President Qin suddenly spoke, "Eat without speaking, sleep without speaking." ”

Meng Tang Tang: "......"

She could only smile at Qin Xiaoxiang awkwardly, and then she saw Xiaoxiang obediently lower his head, and then quietly ate the fish that had been removed from the fish bones in advance. (The fish bone was removed little by little in front of them by a waiter dressed as a foreman after they sat down.) )

When Qin Xiao withdrew his gaze from that side, Meng Tangtang's afterglow accidentally swept to Qin Zhao's plate.

Seems to be all vegan?

She couldn't help but look at it for a while, and even forgot for a moment that such a move was actually a bit rude.

Actually...... There is really not a single meat dish.

"Teacher Meng~" Children are children after all, and they couldn't help but talk again after a while, "Teacher Meng really wants to eat my father's food?" ”

Three black lines slid down the top of Meng Tangtang's head: "...... Forehead ......"

Qin Xiaoxiang whispered to Meng Tangtang: "My father's meals are all vegetarian dishes, and they are not delicious at all. ”

Meng Tangtang could only smile awkwardly again, because she really didn't know what language to reply in the organization.

.

"Xiao Xiang~" Qin Zhao suddenly commanded, "Don't disturb Teacher Meng's meal." ”

Hearing Qin Zhao relieve him like this, Meng Tangtang hurriedly waved his hand embarrassedly, "No, no~ I have already eaten." ”

Qin looked at the remaining half of the dishes on the table, and then looked at the rice bowl that had not left a grain of rice in Meng Tang Tang, and then said with some surprise: "I'm sorry~ I was negligent." ”

“…… Well? Meng Tangtang was a little clueless by his words.

"I've always been a vegetarian, so even the cooking oil is vegetarian." Qin Zhao turned his head to look at Meng Tangtang, "I think it's because this kind of dish is not to Teacher Meng's appetite, so I eat so little." ”

Meng Tangtang was stunned for a moment by the eyes he projected, and after a while he remembered to be polite: "No...... No, I've been losing weight lately, so I'm eating less. ”

“…… Is it? Qin Zhao suddenly smiled very foully, "Then you should eat more vegetables and less carbohydrates." ”

Qin Zhao smiled at Meng Tangtang's sudden slight smile, causing her heart to suddenly thump several times in a row.

Meng Tangtang felt that she must be crazy.

If she wasn't crazy, how could she suddenly become like a nymphomaniac, just because of a handsome face that she was attracted to people who had only seen two sides?!

“…… Hehe. She could only smile awkwardly and politely.

"Dad~ I'm done."

A child's voice suddenly sounded, but Meng Tangtang didn't blame Xiaoxiang's 'interjecting' behavior at all.

If it weren't for the child's sudden insertion, she wouldn't know how to alleviate this inexplicable weird atmosphere.

Meng Tangtang couldn't help but stroke his chest, calming down his inexplicably pounding little heart.

Qin Zhao turned his gaze from Meng Tangtang's direction to his son: "Xiao Xiang has something to say to me?" ”

Xiao Xiang nodded with his little head tilted, and then asked, "Dad, why do you only eat vegetarian food?" ”

When Qin Xiao finished asking the question in a milky voice, Meng Tangtang's ears pricked up, in fact, she was quite curious, but she was embarrassed to ask.

"Didn't Daddy tell you?" Qin Zhao touched Xiao Xiang's hair lovingly, "Because Dad has taken refuge." ”

Meng Tangtang's heart chuckled again, but this time it was not because of some inexplicable heartbeat, but because of an accident.

"What do you mean by refuge?"

"This ...... It's more complicated, Dad will explain it to you when you are a little older. ”

"That'...... Why did Dad convert...... What about refuge? ”

"Because ......"

Meng Tangtang couldn't help but raise her eyes, she saw a smile on the corner of Qin Zhao's mouth, and then he said, "Because Dad has a wish, I really hope that the Buddha can help me realize it." ”

I don't know why, Meng Tangtang always felt that the smile on the corner of Qin Zhao's mouth was ...... There seems to be some sadness.

Pity...... Injure......?

She couldn't help but shake her head slightly, trying to shake out the strange idea that had gotten into her head.

What the hell is wrong with her today?

Why do you keep having some weird ideas?!

.

"Teacher Meng~" Qin's children suddenly began to pay attention to their teacher again, "Why are you shaking your head?" ”

“…… "Meng Tang Tang was anxious," because there was something stuck to the teacher's hair just now. ”

"Haha~" Qin Xiaoxiang hugged her stomach and laughed and said, "Last time, Xuanxuan had something sticky in her hair, and she had to shake her hair desperately to get rid of it, and then I told her that she could actually ...... it with her hands."

Xiao Xiang said as he spoke, and suddenly stopped, and the smile on his little face gradually disappeared.

Meng Tangtang saw that the child's mood had changed, so he quickly touched his little head lovingly, and asked softly, "Xiaoxiang...... What's going on? ”

Qin Xiaoxiang drooped her little head, and her grandmother's voice was filled with some crying: "I miss Xuanxuan......"
