Chapter Ninety-Five: Candlelight Dinner
In the afternoon, the head teacher explained some things, and the teachers of each subject assigned their summer homework, and then the summer vacation was over. Han Xue whispered to Wu Lai: "I'll invite you to eat Western food in the evening, just the two of us." With such a good thing, Wu Lai hurriedly agreed, and then sent a message to Wang Fei and Song Jian, telling them not to wait for him.
After a few months of dating, there are few opportunities for two people to eat together alone, mainly because two large light bulbs are often there. This time, Han Xue invited him to eat Western food alone, which was a rare opportunity.
There is a western restaurant two stops away from the school, this western restaurant has a quiet environment, marble fireplace, glittering crystal lamps, silver candlesticks, colorful wines, special charm, the layout is also quite chic, and the sound of elegant music permeates the restaurant, making people feel happy.
Wu Lai and Han Xue walked into this Western restaurant, and at the entrance of the restaurant, there were pots of blooming flowers, competing for beauty, the bright marble floor could illuminate the shadows of people, and the surrounding walls were randomly dotted with several murals. The soft lighting, the beautiful sound of the piano, a qiē is so charming.
Both of them are dressed more ordinarily, especially Wu Lai, he has always felt that the clothes fit well, and there is no need to buy famous brands, so they wear miscellaneous brands. When the two walked in, the service lady looked at them with strange eyes: Such a beautiful young lady actually found a boyfriend who looked like a hillbilly, it was really flowers stuck in cow dung! Han Xue attracted the attention of many men, while their female companion looked at Han Xue with angry eyes. The men all looked at Wu Lai with disdain, knowing that they were basically in suits and leather shoes, ready to enjoy a romantic candlelight dinner here with their girlfriends or lovers, but Wu Lai's dress was really beautiful, like a roe deer from the mountains. Wu Lai didn't care about this, he thought that those people were jealous of his handsomeness, and he looked proud: "Xiaoxiao, my brother is younger and more handsome than you, so you can be depressed." ”
The two opted for a window seat, which was comfortable and soft on the sofa. Wu Lai muttered in his heart: These Westerners are still quite good at enjoying it.
After the two of them sat down, the waiter handed over the menu, and Han Xue said, "Lai, you can order first." Wu Lai was not polite, picked up the menu and ordered: "A fruit salad, French bread, a sirloin steak." Then he asked Han Xue, "Xue, what do you order?"
Han Xue flipped through the menu and said, "I also want a fruit salad, a filet mignon, and an ice cream." ”
The waiter asked, "How cooked is the steak?"
The two said in unison, "Seven points." After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed.
White tablecloths, neat tableware, soft music, beautiful flowers and flickering candlelight create a romantic, charming and elegant atmosphere. Although Wu Lai has seen the method of eating Western food in the book, he knows that when using knives and forks, do not dance with your hands, and the correct way to hold knives and forks: hold a knife in your right hand and a fork in your left hand. Use a knife to cut food into small pieces (you can't chop them all at once, cut them one by one and eat one piece) and put them in your mouth with a fork. But when he eats steak, he always feels unaccustomed. At first, he still carefully cut a small piece of steak and ate it slowly, but he didn't think it was enjoyable, so what was the meaning of eating it in small bites! So he directly picked up the steak with a fork, ate it in a big gulp, and asked the waiter while eating: "Do you have chopsticks here?" The fork is not very convenient to use, and the chopsticks are easy to use!" Han Xue looked at him with a depressed face, eager to find a hole in the ground to get into, and said in his heart: Next time I don't come to eat Western food with him, it's a shame!
When the waiter heard this, he was stunned for a long time before he said depressedly: "Sir, this is a Western restaurant, no chopsticks." "I thought to myself: this guy is here to deliberately make trouble, people with a little common sense know how to use chopsticks in a Western restaurant.
The people who secretly looked at them had a chill: Is this guy here to eat Western food? Hillbilly is a hillbilly, I can't imagine that I will eat in the same restaurant with the hillbilly, it seems that this restaurant is not very good, and I will not come next time.
After Wu Lai and the others left, the business of this Western restaurant was much lighter.
But Wu Lai didn't care, he just felt happy. The way of heaven is free, he is originally a scoundrel, and the worldly etiquette is a hair for him, happy life, and casual.
Han Xue's movements are quite elegant, although she is also the first time to eat, but she pays attention to her image. "He's a scoundrel and can't be compared to him. Han Xue said in her heart.
After eating, Han Xue said to the waiter, "Pay the bill." "Those men are even more depressed, I didn't expect this guy not only to soak in beautiful women, but also to pay the bills for meals, or is it not a man?
Wu Lai hurriedly said, "Xue, I'll settle the bill." Han Xue pursed her lips and said unhappily: "Say that I have a treat, don't fight with me, otherwise I will be in a hurry with you." ”
You must know that Han Xue won a bonus of 5,000 yuan, and it is nothing to invite a Western meal.
However, after settling the account, Han Xue took out a beautiful box from the small bag she was carrying, held it in both hands and handed it to Wu Lai, and said in a coquettish voice: "Lai, this is specially selected for you at noon, I hope you like it." Wu Lai looked at it in wonder, and it turned out to be a Parker Wycombe Abbey series fountain pen. Wu Lai knew that a Parker fountain pen cost one or two hundred, and he was reluctant to buy it. And Han Xue can invite himself to eat such a high-end Western food, which is already very good, and he also gives pens, plus Han Xue has always been diligent and thrifty, which makes him a little unacceptable.
Seeing Wu Lai's hesitant appearance, Han Xue's face became worse and worse, she finally made up her mind to buy him a slightly more expensive gift, and she was rejected the first time she gave something to someone, which made her very sad. Originally, Wu Lai was about to pick it up, but Han Xue slammed the gift box on the ground and ran out of the western restaurant crying. When those men saw this, they began to gloat: women need money to support them, and if they have no money, can they afford to be beautiful?
Wu Lai scolded himself for being stupid, picked up the pen case and went to chase Han Xue, it seems that he is not a fully qualified scoundrel! Wu Lai naturally caught up with Han Xue quickly, Han Xue was crying sadly, she suddenly felt that her hand was caught, and immediately after, she was also picked up. When she saw that it was Wu Lai who picked him up, she couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly leaned on his arms and cried as much as she could. Wu Lai said affectionately: "Xue, don't cry, I like the pen you gave me very much, I really like it, and I will use this pen to write every day in the future." ”
Han Xue wiped her tears and said, "This is what you said, use it to write every day." ”
"Lie to you that you're a puppy, we'll pull the hook. The two pulled the hook, and Han Xue finally broke into a smile, which made Wu Lai's heart ripple, and he took the opportunity to steal a sip of incense.
"You, you're a scoundrel, you're necrotic. Han Xue's little fist fell gently on Wu Lai's chest like raindrops, her eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, and her face was filled with watery tenderness. The relationship between the two quickly warmed up, and the temperature around them also rose by a few degrees.
