Xia Yu had a feeling of turning his head and wanting to leave, and took out his mobile phone to make a call to Zhang Hanyu, but he still gave up after thinking about it, he was here, so it was better to go up and have a look.

She counted the steps and climbed up step by step, turning a corner, and the scenery suddenly changed, and in front of her was a large bamboo forest, in the middle of which there was a cobblestone path, and finally saw a sign at the entrance.

Continuing inside, there are guiding lights on the ground, and the path is deep and secluded, lined with dense bamboo forests.

It had just rained, and the ground was a little damp, Xia Yu couldn't help but take a deep breath, she could smell the night dew and moss in the air, it was really a good place, and she seemed to like it a little.

When I walked to the end of the path, I suddenly saw a row of quaint Japanese-style wooden houses, with a large open courtyard in front of the door, but only one tree was planted, under which there were tables and chairs made of dead stumps and stones, and a small lamp was placed on the table, and the rest was empty, and the orange light from the row of wooden houses behind was particularly full.

Xia Yu really didn't expect that there was such a good place hidden in this bamboo forest halfway up the mountainside, and when he was about to go in, he saw a woman in a kimono walking out.

"Are you Miss Xia?" A standard 180-degree bow, but a broken Chinese pronunciation.

Japanese restaurant?

"Yes, may I ask who you are?" Xia Yu replied in fluent Japanese.

"I'm the manager of our store, Qianjiazi, Mr. Zhang has booked a box here, he hasn't arrived yet, let me take you in first." The store manager changed back to Japanese and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her Chinese was not very good, and she was really afraid that there would be a barrier to communication with Xia Yu.

"Thank you!" She followed Chikako to the restaurant, and she needed to change the clogs provided by their restaurant at the door, and found that the restaurant was not big inside, and all the places were covered with tatami mats, which was clean and tidy and elegant.

Xia Yu followed Qianjiazi to the end of the corridor, a box on the southmost side.

"Miss Xia, wait here first, Mr. Zhang will be there soon." Chikako then exited the box.

Xia Yu entered, the place inside is not big, only about seven or eight square meters, surrounded by high tatami mats, in the middle of a low table, one side is a sliding door, the other side is a whole floor-to-ceiling window.

She found a place to kneel and sat up, looking sideways out the window, it was already dark, but she could still tell that there was a bamboo forest outside, and she could faintly hear the sound of the spring.

Soon someone came in to serve tea, still wearing a kimono, but it looked like a waiter.

When the waiter went out, Xia Yu flipped through the menu, and his heart really wrinkled.

Dark shop? The unit price of any kind of food in it is hundreds, and Japanese food is notoriously small, so it can't be thousands of dollars to eat in one meal?

When Xia Yu was struggling with the price of vegetables, the sliding door was pushed open, and Shen Yan walked in.

The waiter seemed to know him, and immediately straightened up and bowed to him, and he nodded in return.

The waiter went out, the sliding door was quickly closed, Shen Yan knelt down and sat opposite Xia Yu, there was suddenly another person in the already not spacious space, and the door was closed again, Xia Yu suddenly felt a sense of depression in his heart.

"Why are you here?" Xia Yu looked at Shen Yan with some surprise.

"Can't I come?" Shen Yan's beautiful fox eyes narrowed slightly: "Or did you make an appointment with someone I can't meet?" ”

Shen Yan's words gave Xia Yu the feeling that she was cheating here, and his arrival just broke their adultery.

Xia Yu suddenly regretted inviting Zhang Hanyu to dinner, and Shen Yan came uninvited in the cramped Japanese-style private room.

Quietly pinched his fingers underneath: "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

"You're beautiful today!"

“……”

"New dress, I've seen you wear it for the first time."

“……”

"Pretty good, it looks like you're serious about tonight's date!"

“……”

Speaking of the back, Xia Yu could only frown, as if he had been inexplicably brought into a strange circle, a strange circle led by him.

Xia Yu couldn't help but secretly think that this man was actually a very powerful character, good at preemptive strikes, and always took the lead in the shortest possible time, so Shen Mo was so jealous of him, but he didn't want to admit that in order to show that he was stronger than him, he took a lot of detours.

Including today's invitation by Zhang Hanyu, I am afraid that it is also part of Shen Mowei to deal with Shen Yan.

She is stepping into the circle of their power struggle, Xia Yu doesn't want to do this, but the fact is that she has to choose a side now, this feeling makes Xia Yu feel uncomfortable, she took a sip of tea, and saved the hypocrisy and politeness in front, pushed the menu over, and went straight to the point.

"Order, I'll ask for this meal."

"Please?"

"Yes, I please, as a token of my gratitude to you."

If you don't come yourself, who will please?

Shen Yan raised his lips and smiled, "Okay, which one to start with?" ”

"What?"

"Don't understand?" He was still smiling and rubbed his forehead with his fingers: "You smashed my car, you were coerced by my brother, Chen Wenxuan bullied you, and Bao Na found trouble for you, it seems that I solved the siege for you." Which time would you like to thank for today's meal? ”

This damn man, isn't that clear: "......"

Well, she admits that he's helped her several times, and even saved her life, but he didn't plan to pay it back.

Xia Yu pinched the teacup and laughed.

"Yes, you have helped me many times, but I remember that I also carried the black pot for you a few times, and I was treated as a junior by your woman!"

"......" Shen Yan was really stunned for a moment, but why did she suddenly mention this stubble?

"No, what do you mean?"

Xia Yu frowned: "It's not interesting, I just want to say that your son is still living in the hospital." ”

"......" Now it's Shen Yan's turn to be speechless!

"You don't settle accounts like that, do you?" Shen Yan smiled bitterly.

"You don't have to settle accounts like that!" She followed up with a rebuttal.

It seemed that the topic was talked about all of a sudden, and Shen Yan sighed helplessly.

What a very boring woman, he couldn't talk anymore, which made him a little irritable, and he looked up at the expression of the woman opposite, she was looking out of the window with a sideways face, and she was still like that, peaceful, cold, as if it didn't have the slightest effect on her no matter what.

However, Shen Yan found that she seemed to be wearing light makeup today, and this discovery inexplicably made him feel a lot worse, for no reason, and he couldn't tell why.

"Mr. Zhang said that he would send me an invitation letter after work, and it was time for dinner, so I couldn't let him go back on an empty stomach." Xia Yu couldn't let Shen Yan misunderstand, with his temper, it was really hard to say what would happen when Zhang Hanyu came in a while.

Sure enough, Xia Yu took the initiative to confess to Shen Yan, which made him feel a lot better, and he didn't blame: "The technology company that Zhang Hanyu went to was founded by my eldest brother." ”

"What?"

"That was the first company founded by my eldest brother, which means a lot to him, he has always been personally taken care of, and now it is handed over to Zhang Hanyu, which can be said to be an affirmation of his ability and loyalty." Shen Yan said with a smile.

No wonder Shen Mo didn't intercede for him, there were other arrangements, Xia Yu nodded silently.

Next, the two sat opposite each other and drank tea one by one.

Zhang Hanyu pushed the door in, and was stunned when he saw Shen Yan.

But he quickly calmed down, and after greeting Shen Yan, he sat down on the side.

"Let's eat!" Shen Yan took the menu.

Xia Yu looked up at Shen Yan: "You don't order first?" ”

"No, you don't." He rang the service bell at hand by himself, and Xia Yu didn't bother to ask.

After waiting for a while, someone came in with a drink.

"Come?" Zhang Hanyu asked Xia Yu.

"She's still wounded." Shen Yan made a decision for her on the side.

Zhang Hanyu was not reluctant, he poured some into the cup and poured some for Shen Yan.

"According to Japanese customs, you should drink some alcohol before eating, and you will be pleased!"

The two men raised their glasses.

The summer rain didn't squeak, the house was very quiet, and you could hear the sound of bamboo leaves being blown by the wind outside the window.

Then the waiter brought in appetizers and sashimi one after another, each of which was very exquisite, packed on an elegant plate, a small pile or a small rub, which made people embarrassed to put down their chopsticks.

"The dish in front of you should be called Mitsuki in Japanese cuisine, the soup base needs to be boiled for three or four days, and then steamed with Hokkaido firefly squid for three hours, the pea base is added to the tofu and Daxi water, which is what we usually call the soup, and finally the sweet carved fish and winter bamboo shoot puree, but these restaurants will adjust according to the season, so you may eat different Mitsuki every time you come to eat."

"There is also the dish on your right hand that is called steamed in Japanese food, using Osaka Daoming Temple powder, adding cherry bran, and then wrapping it on the big-tailed mackerel, and finally sprinkled with Japanese millet, so it tastes soft and glutinous, but it is never sticky to the teeth."

This man can really enjoy it, Xia Yu tasted a few bites, and the taste was really good.

On the other side, Zhang Hanyu took a sip of wine alone, and his eyes were a little cold.

He believed that Xia Yu would not call Shen Yan over, but it was not an accident that Shen Yan appeared here.

It seems that he has long monitored his every move, Zhang Hanyu knew that he couldn't talk to Xia Yu today, so he simply let go and had a happy meal.

This swinger can't do anything else, he is the most picky about beauty food, and he will not be bad in person.

"Yan Shao knows a lot about Japanese cuisine!"

"Where, I used to have a friend who likes Japanese food, and her biggest dream is to open a Japanese restaurant, hide in the mountains, get a few rooms, and become the chef herself.

"Great idea, is that open now?" Xia Yu was still worried that this meal would be spent in gunsmoke at first, but now the two men are talking about food, which seems to be good.

Shen Yan lowered his head and sneered: "It's open."

"That's good." Xia Yu also laughed, but it was very shallow: "If you have a dream, and then the dream can come true, it should be a very happy thing." ”

"Really?"

"Of course."

"What about you? Do you have any dreams? Shen Yan suddenly turned the topic to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu frowned, brushed his hair with his hand, and replied: "I used to want to be a reporter, but my father said that there is a craft that is the most affordable, and he wants me to be a chef, but I am now a secretary." ”

Zhang Hanyu smiled, when Xia Yu was his secretary in the past, he also mentioned her father's strange idea, Xia Yu was still angry at that time, and he spoke a little impulsively.

"Being a chef? Your father's idea is really special, he has groomed you in this area. "Not to mention, Xia Yu's skills as a chef are definitely qualified.
