Chapter 1407 Looking at the sea
As long as Lu Feng doesn't mind, it's fine. She thought to herself that someone like Lu Feng, who came from a wealthy family, would definitely look down on the act of packing up. After all, there are many people in the world who measure everything with money, so it's inevitable that they will have some prejudice.
However, what she didn't expect was that Lu Feng was so considerate and didn't show any disdain at all. This precious understanding made her feel warm in her heart.
She suddenly remembered that when Xu Xiaoxiao and her friends went out to eat, they also took their food home. Xu Xiaoxiao was an invisible rich man.
The table in front of her was filled with a variety of dishes. She thought to herself that with so many delicious dishes, it would be difficult for the three of them to finish them all... right?
"Okay, let's eat. We come out to eat just to have fun, so don't think too much." Lu Feng said.
Xiaomei's attention was completely attracted by the delicious food on the table. Her eyes were fixed on those exquisite dishes, as if they were the most precious treasures in the world.
Every dish exudes an enticing aroma. The rich taste permeates the air and penetrates into Xiaomei's nose, teasing her olfactory nerves.
She couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling the wonderful fragrance, and her appetite was instantly ignited.
When Xiaomei finally couldn't help but pick up a piece of vegetable and put it in her mouth, her taste buds seemed to be ignited, and she burst into a strong sense of satisfaction.
The taste danced on her tongue, first the slight spiciness stimulated her mouth, followed by the mellow umami flavor and rich taste that intoxicated her tongue.
Tasting bite after bite, Xiaomei was completely immersed in the world of food. She forgot everything, even the idea of packing up the food.
The taste of these dishes is so wonderful that every bite is an extreme tease to the taste buds, making people simply unable to stop.
Grandma's face was filled with a bright smile, as if time had stopped for her at this moment.
Although the years have left deep marks on her body and her body is no longer as strong as when she was young, her love for food is like a burning flame and has not diminished at all.
As each dish was served, grandma's eyes would sparkle with excitement, and she would savor every bite of food, feeling its unique flavor and texture.
Whether it was the tender and juicy braised pork or the fragrant stir-fried vegetables, grandma ate them with relish, as if these foods were the most delicious delicacies in the world.
The same is true for Xiaomei. She has experienced all kinds of hardships in life since she was a child and has long been accustomed to hard work and fatigue.
Whether it was heavy housework or difficult study tasks, she never complained and endured them silently. It was this kind of life experience that made her develop a good appetite, whether it was simple food or delicacies from land and sea, she could eat with relish.
At this moment, faced with this rare delicacy, she was even more unceremonious and tasted it with big mouthfuls, as if she wanted to turn all the bitterness and fatigue into the sweetness on the tip of her tongue and swallow it one by one.
Grandma and she enjoyed the rare peace and joy during this warm dinner time, as if all the troubles in the world had gone with the wind and no longer existed.
"Wow, this taste is absolutely amazing!"
Xiaomei rubbed her round belly contentedly, her face filled with a happy glow, as if she had just experienced a feast for her taste buds.
"How is it? Have you finished eating? Do you want to order a few more dishes and try our signature dishes?"
Lu Feng asked with a smile, his eyes full of concern and tenderness, as if he was treating an old friend he had not seen for a long time.
Xiaomei smiled and shook her head, waving her hand to indicate that she was full, her eyes flashing with deep gratitude towards Lu Feng.
After seeing the scene in front of him, Lu Feng was secretly thinking about something in his heart.
So, with a smile on his face, he cleverly made an excuse that he needed to go to the bathroom.
This excuse was so natural and reasonable that it was impossible to refuse.
Then, Lu Feng slowly stood up, his movements light and graceful, without making a sound.
His steps were steady and every step seemed so calm and unhurried, as if he was already familiar with this kind of occasion.
When he walked to the cashier, his movements were still as graceful as ever. He gently picked up the bill, carefully checked the amount, and then took out the corresponding cash from his wallet without hesitation.
The movements were skillful and swift, without any delay.
Finally, Lu Feng handed the cash to the cashier, smiled and said thank you.
Throughout the whole process, his manners were decent and his attitude was humble, making people feel that he was a very well-educated person.
"Now that you're full, what are your plans next? Or where do you want to go? I'll take you around. I'm not busy today." Lu Feng came back and asked.
Xiaomei stood up from her seat, holding her wallet tightly in her hand, and walked briskly to the cashier, her face filled with anticipation for the upcoming journey:
"I don't mind, but grandma...she has always wanted to go to the beach. She has never been far away from home in her life. She has always wanted to see the sea with her own eyes and hear the sound of the waves."
Hearing this, Lu Feng nodded slightly, with a glimmer of admiration and understanding in his eyes, as if at this moment, he understood Xiaomei's persistence and desire for family affection.
"Well, yes."
When Xiaomei found out that the bill had been quietly settled by Lu Feng, her body suddenly froze in place as if under a spell, completely unable to move.
She stared at the cashier with wide eyes in disbelief, as if trying to find a hint of a joke on his face.
However, the cashier's serious and affirmative expression told her that all this was true.
Xiaomei couldn't help feeling a little bewildered. She could never have imagined that Lu Feng would pay the bill without her noticing.
She spoke hesitantly, her voice trembling slightly: "Brother Lu...you paid the bill? How much is this? I have to pay it back to you. As promised, it's my treat."
As she spoke, her hand unconsciously reached into her pocket and fumbled for her wallet.
Xiaomei was about to take money out of her wallet. Her seriousness and persistence were just like her attitude towards life, sincere and genuine.
Seeing this, Lu Feng smiled gently and waved his hand, with an unquestionable warmth in his tone:
"Xiao Mei, don't be so polite. You are Weiwei's friend, and you are also my friend. Today, I will just be the host. How about you treat me next time you have the chance?"
"Then... I must pay the bill next time." Xiaomei said softly, with a firm light in her eyes, as if this was an unshakable promise.
The corners of Lu Feng's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile. His eyes were gentle and kind, and he nodded gently, indicating that he agreed to the other party's proposal.
"Well, it's settled. Next time it's your turn to treat!" There was a hint of ease and humor in his voice.
"Come on, let me take you to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the sea. This place is not far from the seashore, and we will arrive soon."
Grandma sat beside them, watching their interaction with a kind look, a warm smile gradually forming on the corner of her mouth.
Her eyes sparkled with curiosity and joy, as if at this moment she saw a miniature of her granddaughter's happy life.
"Xiao Mei, is this your boyfriend, my grandson-in-law? He's so nice, he's good-looking and kind-hearted, and he's willing to accompany an old lady like me."
When Xiaomei heard this, her cheeks instantly blushed. She lowered her head shyly, not daring to look directly into her grandmother's eyes, but she couldn't help but curl up a sweet smile at the corner of her mouth.
Lu Feng remained silent and did not answer.
"Grandma, please stop talking nonsense." Xiaomei said coquettishly, "This is my friend, you are... "
"Brother Lu, my grandma...sometimes she might say something...I hope you don't mind."
Xiaomei looked at Lu Feng with a little apology, her eyes full of worry. She was afraid that her grandmother's unintentional words would offend this gentle man.
Hearing this, Lu Feng raised a warm smile, his eyes full of understanding and tolerance: "It's okay, I don't mind. As for the elderly, time has left traces on them, but the innocence and kindness are what time can't take away. I like listening to grandma talk. Every word she says is full of wisdom in life."
After that, the three of them got into the car together. Grandma sat in the back seat and looked at Lu Feng seriously, as if she was examining a young man who was about to become a member of her family:
"My dear boy, Xiaomei is very good and obedient. She has been working hard for me. She is a good girl. You must treat her well."
There was a sense of earnestness and solemnity in grandma's words, as if she was conveying an important mission.
Hearing this, Lu Feng turned to look at his grandmother, his eyes flashing with sincerity and respect: "Well, I know,
Seeing this, Xiaomei was anxious and quickly explained: "Brother Lu, you know my grandma's situation. Sometimes her memory is a little confused. She may have misunderstood our relationship just now. Please don't mind..."
There was a hint of anxiety and uneasiness in Xiaomei's voice. She was afraid that Lu Feng would have bad thoughts because of his grandmother's misunderstanding.
Hearing this, Lu Feng still had a warm smile on his face. He shook his head gently, with a bit of understanding and tolerance in his tone: "It's okay, Xiaomei, I don't mind. Grandma means well, I can understand. Besides, I think grandma is right. You are indeed a good girl and deserve to be cherished by others. It's a pity that it's not me."
As he spoke, Lu Feng turned his gaze to the rearview mirror. Through the mirror, he saw his grandmother sitting in the back seat looking at him kindly, with satisfaction and expectation in her eyes.
A complex emotion surged in Lu Feng's heart. Why did the hateful... family not have such a harmonious relationship?
After hearing this, Xiaomei's uneasiness gradually dissipated. She looked at Lu Feng gratefully, tears flashing in her eyes: "Brother Lu, thank you, thank you so much. Meeting friends like you is the greatest luck in my life."
Lu Feng looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness and doting: "Xiao Mei, don't say that, isn't this how life is?"
The restaurant they were in was located on the coastline not far from the sea. Fu Yanchen had chosen this location specifically so that Xu Xiaoxiao could run out at any time in the future and get close to the vast ocean. He had always known that Xu Xiaoxiao liked the sea.
Now, this thoughtful gesture unexpectedly gave Xiaomei and her grandmother the opportunity to witness the magnificent scenery of the ocean for the first time.
Lu Feng drove to the beach. The car drove steadily along the way. The scenery outside the window passed by like scenes in a movie, and they soon arrived at their destination.
The wind at the seaside in this season is strong and brings a bit of early winter chill. The sea water is also particularly cold and is not suitable for playing in the water.
Even if it was suitable, Lu Feng didn't dare to let them go in the afternoon. With his health condition, he was sick every other day. What if they were accidentally washed away by the water and he had no ability to save them? Xu Xiaoxiao would eat him up. He had seen Xu Xiaoxiao's brutal side.
Even so, Xiaomei was very satisfied. She held her grandmother's hand and stood on the shore, gazing at the boundless blue from afar. It was an indescribable enjoyment.
It was the first time for Xiaomei and her grandmother to see the sea, and they could not conceal their excitement and excitement from the bottom of their hearts.
They stood on the beach, letting the sea breeze brush their faces and ruffle their hair, their eyes shining with awe and admiration for the magnificent scenery of nature.
Xiaomei held her grandmother's hand, and the two stood side by side, as if at this moment, all the worries and sorrows were swallowed up by the vast ocean, leaving only pure joy and tranquility.
Grandma's spirits seemed particularly uplifted at this moment. She said with deep emotion: "It turns out that the sea is really so big and so beautiful... I always thought that what was shown on TV was fake, but I didn't expect that what I saw with my own eyes was even more spectacular than on TV."
There was a bit of childlike surprise and curiosity in grandma's words, as if at this moment, she had returned to that carefree age when she was full of curiosity about the world.
Xiaomei felt a warm feeling in her heart when she heard her grandmother's words. She turned to look at her grandmother, her eyes full of tenderness and gratitude: "Grandma, if we have the chance in the future, we will come again and show you more of the beauty of this world."
Grandma smiled and nodded, tears glistening in her eyes, tears of happiness.
She knew that with her granddaughter by her side, no matter where she went, it would be the most beautiful scenery.
Lu Feng stood silently by, looking at the heartwarming scene of the grandparents and grandchildren relying on each other, feeling sad in his heart.
He said softly to Xiaomei: "Xiaomei, the seaside is windy and grandma is not feeling well. How about we go back early? Don't let grandma get too tired."
Xiao Mei felt a surge of warmth in her heart when she heard that. She looked at Lu Feng gratefully and nodded, "Okay, Brother Lu, I'm worried about grandma too. Then let's go back early. Grandma, we've seen it all, just get some fresh air, don't catch a cold."
Although the grandmother was a little reluctant, she felt warm in her heart when she saw that her granddaughter and Lu Feng cared so much about her. She smiled and nodded, with satisfaction and relief in her eyes: "Okay, okay, let's go back. Grandma is very happy to have you here."
