Chapter 1406 Dating
Fu Yanchen returned home in the evening, with a barely perceptible eagerness in his steps. Xu Xiaoxiao hadn't given him any news the whole day, so he wondered if she had secretly left.
The moment he opened the door, his eyes involuntarily swept across every corner of the living room until they stopped on that familiar figure - Xu Xiaoxiao was still there.
His heart was involuntarily filled with an indescribable joy. Could it be that Xiaoxiao... was willing to stay?
This sudden thought, like the first flower blooming in spring, instantly filled his world with color and vitality.
That’s great, this is a great gift from God. He will definitely treat her well in the future.
Xu Xiaoxiao did not notice the fleeting tenderness and expectation on Fu Yanchen's face. When she saw Fu Yanchen coming back, she spoke: "Well... Sister Na and the others said they wanted to stay here for a few more days, so I... stayed to accompany them."
After hearing this, Fu Yanchen's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible force, and the temperature dropped sharply.
But on second thought, even if the reason was not what he wanted, being able to stay in the same room with Xu Xiaoxiao for a few more days was a rare luxury.
He forced a smile and said, "Tomorrow, I'll ask the driver to take you there. This will be more convenient."
The words were brief, but contained all his tenderness and compromise.
Xu Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned when she heard this, then nodded without refusing.
At that moment, she seemed to feel the deep meaning in Fu Yanchen's words, and an indescribable ripple arose in her heart.
The next morning, the sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains onto Xu Xiaoxiao's face, bringing a touch of warmth and vitality.
She quickly washed up and went to the hotel to pick up Sister Na and her group.
In the hotel lobby, Sister Na was talking in a low voice with Xiaomei.
"How is it? Are you okay?" Xu Xiaoxiao asked with concern, her eyes moving between the two of them.
Sister Na sighed and seemed a little hesitant: "I have no problem with that, but... I really can't let Xiaomei and her grandmother go. I always feel uneasy."
Xiaomei looked at the scene in front of her, her lips slightly raised, outlining a mysterious and elusive smile. She gently patted Sister Na's shoulder, as if this action conveyed some special message.
Xiaomei said in a confident tone: "Sister Na, Xiaoxiao, look at you, I am not a child anymore, you can rest assured! I plan to take grandma to stroll around the area later, let her experience the unique local customs and culture here, it's nearby. You... don't have to make other arrangements for me!"
After hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao showed a look of doubt on her face and her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was a little puzzled by the other party's decision.
"Even if you are not a child, you are not familiar with this place."
Xu Xiaoxiao said, with a hint of worry in her voice, "Where are you going? I thought about it last night, why don't you come with us? We have a driver with us today, so it will be safer. Also, if there is any emergency, we can help you deal with it in time."
Her eyes fell on the other person, revealing a concerned attitude, hoping that the other person could reconsider his decision.
Xiaomei blinked, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a mysterious and playful smile.
She said softly, "Hey, Xiaoxiao, don't worry anymore. Let me tell you, my 'guide' is no ordinary person. He knows every tree and blade of grass here very well! With him, we will definitely have a lot of fun, and it will be very safe!"
As Xiaomei spoke, she winked mischievously, as if hinting that something interesting was about to happen.
Her eyes are clear and bright, full of innocence and confidence, and people can't help but be infected by her optimism.
When the other people present saw Xiaomei being so confident, they all smiled knowingly.
Everyone seemed to be moved by Xiaomei's youthful energy, and their mood became relaxed and happy.
"Okay, as long as they are reliable and safe, that's fine. If anything happens, remember to call me immediately."
Xu Xiaoxiao reminded Xiaomei again, with a hint of worry and tenderness in her tone. She would not go into details and ask who that person was. Everyone has their own privacy.
Xiaomei nodded, gratitude gleaming in her eyes.
Afterwards, Xu Xiaoxiao took Na Jie and Tiantian away from the hotel, leaving Xiaomei alone, looking forward to this special "date" with Lu Feng.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is noon. The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows.
Xiaomei's cell phone suddenly rang. It was Lu Feng calling.
She was delighted, hung up the phone, and hurriedly left the hotel with her grandmother and rushed to the agreed place.
When they saw Lu Feng, Xiaomei's face broke into a bright smile. She waved her arms like a happy little bird and greeted Lu Feng.
Lu Feng also responded with a smile. He noticed that the grandmother next to Xiaomei looked a little old and in much better spirits than in the past few days.
Xiaomei gently held her grandmother's arm and carefully guided her towards the car.
Her movements were gentle and slow, as if she was afraid that her grandmother would feel the slightest discomfort.
He watched this scene quietly, with an inexplicable emotion welling up in his heart. He really envied people with harmonious families.
Xiaomei and her grandmother successfully got on the back seat. Xiaomei carefully helped her grandmother adjust the seat to ensure her comfort and safety.
Then she closed the car door, turned around and met Lu Feng's eyes.
Lu Feng gazed through the car window at Xiaomei's gentle smile and bright eyes.
At this moment, he suddenly had a strange feeling. How come he seemed to have become Xiaomei's exclusive master?
After Xiaomei sat down, she did not forget to help her grandmother fasten her seat belt. Every action she made revealed her deep love for her grandmother.
She slowly turned her head and looked at Lu Feng hesitantly, as if she was hesitating whether to ask that question.
Finally, she mustered up her courage, a blush of shyness and trepidation appeared on her face, and she said softly: "Brother Lu, um...is the place to eat expensive? I...I have limited financial resources, I'm afraid..."
Lu Feng noticed the change in her expression, and the corners of his mouth slightly lifted, revealing a faint smile. He replied in a gentle and slightly teasing voice: "Well... it's okay, ordinary people can afford it. In fact, it is a restaurant specially opened by Fu Yanchen for Xu Xiaoxiao. Xu Xiaoxiao likes to eat home-cooked meals and doesn't like luxury things. The environment is pretty good and the dishes are also very exquisite. However, if you are really worried about the price, I have an idea."
He paused deliberately, watching her reaction, and then continued, "How about I take you to a free meal? Eat and run, Fu Yanchen doesn't lack that little money anyway, haha."
After saying this, he laughed first, and seemed very satisfied with the joke.
After that, he started the car and drove towards the restaurant. In the car, Xiaomei listened to Lu Feng's words, and a warm current surged in her heart.
This thoughtfulness and care made her feel unprecedented warmth and security in this strange city.
I envied Xu Xiaoxiao in my heart because there was a man willing to do so much for her.
Arriving at the restaurant, Lu Feng looked at the elegantly decorated, brightly lit door, deliberately lowered his voice, and said to Xiao Mei jokingly:
"The back door is over there. You run first and I'll cover you. How about we have a 'free meal' adventure?" There was a hint of teasing in his eyes.
After hearing these words, Xiaomei's face instantly became solemn. She waved her hands hurriedly and expressed her refusal without hesitation.
There was an urgency and seriousness in her voice, as if this matter was very important to her.
"Absolutely not, Brother Lu! I can't do this. I came here with you, and I can't embarrass you." Xiaomei said, "Besides, how can you eat and dine for free? You will be detained. Since we have decided to come here, I don't care how expensive it is. I have saved some money in the past few years, which is enough."
Lu Feng, "Don't worry, it won't be more than 10,000 yuan. Is there 10,000 yuan?"
Although Xiaomei felt a little distressed, she still nodded and said, "Yes."
Her dream has always been to bring her grandmother to the big city, let her have fun for a few days, taste the various delicacies here, and appreciate the beautiful scenery.
Most importantly, she hopes that her grandmother can enjoy eating, drinking and having fun instead of becoming stingy because of a little money.
She turned to look at her grandmother, a determined gleam in her eyes.
Grandma touched Xiaomei's head lovingly, with a happy smile on her face, as if to say, "With you here, grandma is relieved."
Lu Feng looked at Xiaomei's serious expression and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
"Okay, Xiaomei, you're right. Let's enjoy this delicious meal today and let grandma have a taste of the big city."
After saying that, he walked into the restaurant first and pulled out seats for Xiaomei and her grandmother, showing a gentlemanly demeanor.
Xiaomei followed closely behind, helping her grandmother sit down, her face filled with satisfaction and happiness.
Although Xiaomei had expected that dining in this high-end restaurant would be expensive, when she actually got the menu, she was still stunned by the prices and even had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
She stared wide-eyed as she carefully scanned every dish on the menu, and every price was beyond belief.
The prices of these dishes were far beyond her imagination, even several times higher than the most expensive meal she had ever eaten before! Even dozens of times higher.
"Is this... still a home-cooked meal?"
Xiaomei widened her eyes, looked at the menu in front of her with suspicion, and muttered to herself in her heart.
In the pictures, these dishes look extremely exquisite, and each one seems to be made by a famous chef. Both the presentation and the color make people's appetite increase. This is far from the home-cooked meals that Xiaomei remembers.
She couldn't help but think of Xu Xiaoxiao. Xiaomei thought, Xiaoxiao often dine in such a restaurant and can enjoy such delicious food every day. She must be so lucky.
In comparison, my life seems a bit monotonous and boring.
Although there are some home-cooked meals, they are a world apart from the delicacies in front of us.
Xiaomei couldn't help but sigh at the gap between people, and was full of envy and yearning for Xu Xiaoxiao's life.
Although she felt a little reluctant, Xiaomei made a resolute decision. She wanted to make sure her grandmother had enough to eat.
It's just ten thousand yuan anyway. This is not only to realize my grandma's dream, but also to express the heavy filial piety in my heart. Grandma, she doesn't have much time left.
Xiaomei took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner turmoil.
She held the menu tightly, as if it was the emotional bond between her and her grandmother.
Her eyes wandered over the menu, carefully selecting two of her grandmother's favorite dishes.
Every dish carried beautiful memories between them, and every option made her hesitant.
Finally, Xiaomei made up her mind. She nodded slightly and circled a few dishes.
Then, she carefully handed the menu to Lu Feng, as if it was an invaluable gift.
"Hey, Brother Lu, what do you want to eat? Just order whatever you want. It's my treat."
Xiaomei's gentle voice revealed a hint of shyness.
Her gaze fell on Lu Feng, with an expectant gleam in her eyes, as if she was waiting for his response.
Lu Feng felt Xiaomei's gaze, he smiled slightly and took the menu.
There were many dishes on the menu, but he didn't look at them carefully.
Xiaomei lowered her head slightly, and fiddled with the corners of her clothes nervously with her hands, as if she was worried that Lu Feng would reject her invitation, or perhaps because the item was too expensive.
Lu Feng looked at Xiao Mei's slightly embarrassed look, he gently closed the menu and said to the waiter: "Just order what I usually eat."
His voice was calm and gentle, without the slightest hesitation or hesitation.
The waiter slowly left with the menu. Xiaomei followed him closely, but a ripple appeared in her heart.
She couldn't help but start to worry. Would the delicacies that Lu Feng and his friends enjoyed on a daily basis be very expensive and far exceed the budget she had prepared?
Seeing that Xiaomei looked a little strange, Lu Feng immediately understood her concerns.
He smiled slightly, his eyes full of tenderness and understanding.
In fact, he never thought of asking Xiaomei to pay.
In his opinion, it is inappropriate to let a girl pay for any reason.
When the dishes were served one by one, the aroma filled the air, making people salivate.
Xiaomei looked at the delicious food on the table, her eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation, but then she revealed a hint of hesitation.
Her voice was as light as a feather, as if she was afraid of disturbing something. Her big eyes blinked at Lu Feng, filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
"Brother Lu, let me ask you a question."
"Well, tell me."
"If... later... I say if... we can't finish the food and I pack it up, will they laugh at us? Will we be embarrassed?"
Her tone was a little hesitant, as if she was very troubled by this question. "I don't care. I'm just worried that this will embarrass you. After all, you brought me here..."
When Lu Feng heard her words, he was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help laughing out loud.
His laughter seemed a little out of place in the quiet atmosphere, but it also eased her tension a little.
He gently patted Xiaomei's shoulder, with a bit of teasing and comfort in his tone: "Xiaomei, what are you talking about? What's shameful about packing? Besides, we are eating delicious food, not saving face. Don't worry, I won't feel embarrassed, but I think you are very sensible and know how to live."
After hearing what Lu Feng said, Xiaomei's worries immediately disappeared.
She looked at Lu Feng gratefully, a relieved smile on her face.
