Chapter 307 Be Frank

Fang Sheng froze on the spot.

It took him a long time to find his voice again, "Why did you ask for leave?"

Nian Baixiao looked at her seriously and replied, "Because I have to go eat."

Fang Sheng was choked by his reply for a moment, and then asked him, "I mean, why do you ask for leave for me?"

Nian Baixiao raised his eyebrows. Seeing this, she raised her hand to signal him to stop talking. Looking at his expression, she knew that the meaning of these two sentences was the same in his understanding, so the answer he gave must be the same.

"Nian Baixiao," Fang Sheng decided to talk to him properly, "Our club has a lot of finishing work to do at this time. If you ask for leave for me, there will be one less person in the club, and the workload for others will increase. Do you think it is appropriate to trouble others just for a meal?"

"Not appropriate." Nian Baixiao was surprised to agree with her, but then he changed the subject, "But when I asked for leave for you, they were very excited to hear that you were going on a date. Without me saying anything, they took the initiative to say that it was not a big deal in the club and it was okay to ask for leave."

Fang Sheng: ...

Not, "What date? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Nian Baixiao smiled, pointed at himself, then pointed at her, "A man and a woman, on a date."

Fang Sheng stood there stiffly for a long time. When his brain reacted, he walked forward, sighed softly, and then sat down on the floor like him, staring at him with wide eyes.

"Nian Baixiao, I know what you're thinking." She said to him seriously, "I didn't take what happened last night to heart. After all, when a man and a woman are alone, there will always be some inexplicable abnormalities, so don't think too much about it."

Nian Baixiao asked, "You don't worry about it?"

Fang Sheng nodded.

The corners of his eyebrows showed a hint of a smile, "You didn't take it to heart, and you were sneaking around this morning?"

Fang Sheng was speechless, with an unnatural look on her face. After a long while, she said, "What I mean is that last night was just a very small incident, and we don't have to take it to heart. Nian Baixiao, sometimes brothers may express their feelings a little bit beyond the line, but... this is normal, I... don't want you to be responsible for anything."

After a lot of talking, he asked him, "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"I understand." Nian Baixiao nodded.

Fang Sheng looked at him suspiciously. Did he really understand?

Nian Baixiao stood up and stretched out his hand to her, "Let's go eat."

See, I still don't understand. Fang Sheng was speechless and rolled his eyes, "Did I just say it in vain?"

"It's no use talking. I understand what you mean." Nian Baixiao didn't take his hand back, and said with a smile, "But, I've already asked for leave for you, so we have to eat." Fang Sheng looked at him, as if what he said was right, no matter what the relationship was, people always have to eat. Nian Baixiao gestured with his hand, very patiently. Fang Sheng also thought that she should not be hypocritical, so she pulled his wrist and tried to use the force to get up.

Unexpectedly, Nian Baixiao pulled her back with his hand, and with a slight force on his arm, she was pulled up. Her heels were unstable, and the next second the man's arm was around her waist. Fang Sheng felt her brain fluttering, and her breathing became shorter. The man's breath suddenly came closer, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

The tone was very frank, but the breath approaching was always malicious. Fang Sheng secretly told himself that he was overthinking, overthinking. Although Nian Baixiao seemed to be out of tune all day, he was a clear-minded person in the final analysis and would not beat around the bush when it came to emotional matters. Since he had determined that they were brothers, then it must be so. As for last night, maybe he was just emotional.

She slightly moved away from his breath range and said, "It's okay, let's go."

Women of the new era, be more open.

During the dinner, Lu Nanshen brought Hang Si back to the hot pot restaurant on the food street. The proprietress was so happy to see them again that she said to them, "Don't worry, Auntie knows what's good for you. This time, I can't ask you two to be image ambassadors. A young couple should have some private space. Come to the small private room. It's warmer than outside."

Eating two hotpot meals in a row is a bit against normal logic, but Hang Si would never do such a thing. Even if he likes hotpot very much, he would eat a lot of it that night and would not want to eat it the next day.

But Lu Nanshen was surprisingly persistent and told her, if you don't want to eat hot pot, let's order stir-fried dishes. I think his family has home-cooked dishes. This is not like Lu Nanshen's character. There are only two possibilities. One is that the person who made this decision was not Lu Nanshen, and the second is that Lu Nanshen has other purposes.

The private room is not big, it can only seat six people at most, it is suitable for gatherings of three or five friends. Seeing that they did not order hotpot this time, the proprietress said generously, "Do you two trust me? If you do, I will serve you... four dishes, which is enough for you two. You don't need to order. What I recommend to you is definitely delicious."

Hang Si felt that four dishes were too much for the two of them to finish. The proprietress smiled and said, "I'll take care of it. Okay, don't worry about it. Drink some tea and eat some sunflower seeds first."

There was a fruit plate on the table, with melon seeds, peanuts and candies, which reminded Hang Si of New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve, the welfare home would prepare a fruit plate with melon seeds, peanuts and candies. Hang Si was most impressed by the old-fashioned candy, with colorful candy wrappers and a layer of glutinous rice paper wrapped around the soft candy. When you bite it, you can smell the full aroma of maltose, and it has a chewy texture. You can also pull the candy very long by biting one end.

I didn't expect this hot pot restaurant also has this kind of candy. Just looking at it makes me feel like I'm in another world. Hang Si picked up a candy and asked Lu Nanshen, "Have you eaten it when you were a child?"

Lu Nanshen shook his head. "The Lu family is very strict about eating sweets. After a while, I don't like sweets very much anymore."

Hang Si was surprised, "You are not allowed to eat candy? Are you afraid of tooth decay?"

Lu Nan thought deeply, "That's one of the reasons. Another reason may be that the elders think that eating too much sugar will make people stupid, so they try not to let us younger generations eat sugar."

Hang Si had already peeled off the candy wrapper while he was talking. After hearing the second reason, he silently wrapped the candy wrapper and put it back in place...

"Tell me, what do you want to do here in this hot pot restaurant again?" Hang Si was now able to accurately identify whether the person sitting opposite her was Lu Nanshen, so she felt that the latter possibility in her analysis was the most likely.

Lu Nanshen smiled and didn't beat around the bush. "It's obvious that the boss's wife has a good relationship with Liu's wife. It doesn't matter that Liu's wife is tight-lipped, don't we still have the boss's wife?" As he spoke, he reached out to take the candy that Hang Si had just put down, opened the candy wrapper little by little, and slowly peeled off the glutinous rice paper. "The boss's wife is a person who can't hide things. We came here today, and even if we didn't ask her anything, she would take the initiative to find us."

Hang Si was slightly stunned, "Are you so sure?"

"Of course," Lu Nanshen stuffed the candy directly into her mouth, "Eating a piece occasionally won't make you stupid, don't worry."
