Chapter 636 Eat with a warm feeling

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and follow!"

The middle-aged woman seemed to be in a particularly good mood after canceling all her work schedule for the day. After taking a few steps in high spirits, she suddenly found that there was no sound of high heels behind her.

Looking back, his secretary looked at him in surprise, as if he couldn't believe his decision.

"Oh~! Come, come!"

Seeing his boss shaking his head and waving, the secretary reacted and quickly followed.

After leaving the airport, a black Bentley Mulsanne parked there. When the driver saw the two of them, he immediately stepped forward to take the luggage, while the secretary protected the middle-aged woman and got into the car.

"I haven't been back for almost three years. Chengdu has changed a lot."

The middle-aged woman said nothing after getting in the car, staring blankly at the scenery outside the window. She sighed when she was almost in the city.

“Mr.

The secretary knew that Mr. Xia was a very sentimental person. Although he had enough money to buy a Rolls-Royce Phantom, he still liked the Bentley Mulsanne.

Sometimes when attending major business events, other people's cars were top-notch luxury cars, but hers was one level lower. However, she never cared about other people's lustful looks.

And what's particularly weird today is that she just returned to China. She didn't deal with the company's matters immediately, but she made sure to go to a hotel, as if she was going to meet someone.

This is nothing like Mr. Xia's usual vigorous and resolute style. It feels like some women are showing off their tempers this time around.

"Yeah, this time I come back, I feel like everything has changed, and I don't know what it was like back then."

As if thinking of something sad, Mr. Xia's mood suddenly became depressed, and his face was covered with a trace of sadness.

"Zhou Xiaolu, oh, Xiaolu, I'm going to rest for a while. Call me when you're almost there."

Mr. Xia's face didn't look good. After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes. He didn't know if he didn't want to talk anymore or if he really wanted to take a rest.

"Oh, oh~! Okay, okay!"

Oh my god, Mr. Xia called me by my name just now. I have been a secretary for more than two years. It seems that this is the first time that Mr. Xia has directly called me by my full name.

It seems that Mr. Xia must have lost her mind just now, and I don't know what she thought of when she got emotional.

This is a huge contrast to the Mr. Xia who I remember as having a tough character and a strong heart. Could it be that all of this has something to do with the Star Hotel that I am about to go to?
Although Xiaolu was reluctant to speculate on Mr. Xia's privacy, as a secretary, she suddenly saw another side of Mr. Xia, which made her feel a little hesitant for a moment.

"Mr. Xia, we're here."

About 1 kilometer away from the stars, Xiaolu called out several times before waking up Mr. Xia.

"Oh~! Are you here?"

Mr. Xia's body shook a little, as if he had been awakened. It looked like he had really fallen asleep just now, or maybe he had just dreamed.

Just as he was about to get off the car, Mr. Xia noticed that something was wrong with the surrounding environment. He retracted his foot that he had just taken a step forward and asked doubtfully: "Where are you? It seems that you haven't reached the stars yet, right?"

Xiaolu bent over and put one hand on the roof of the car, lowered her head and said with a smile: "I asked just now, there is a snack event at the Xingchen Hotel. There are too many people, all the vehicles have been diverted, so we can only Walk there.”

"That's right! I haven't seen this girl for a few years, but she still seems to have as many tricks as before. Well, let's just walk there."

Hearing Xingchen's snack activity, Mr. Xia burst into laughter, then quickly got out of the car and stretched his body.

"Which direction is it, let's go there."

Xiaolu asked the driver to park the car in a relatively remote place. Mr. Xia seemed unfamiliar with the surrounding area, so he had to let Xiaolu lead the way.

"This way, Mr. Xia, let's go."

Xiaolu is not familiar with the surrounding area, but the mobile phone navigation has been turned on. Are you afraid that you can't find the direction?
The two of them walked in the direction of the stars one after another. Xiaolu checked the surrounding environment along the way, looking down at her phone from time to time.

Mr. Xia followed Xiaolu leisurely, admiring the surrounding scenery. After taking out his mobile phone, he was originally going to make a call, but then he thought about it and put it back in his bag.

"President Xia, we're here, right in front."

The two of them had not walked for a while, and Xiaolu saw the place where the crowd gathered in front of her, and quickly pointed her finger.

"See, I'm much more familiar with this place than you are. Turn off the navigation and follow me now."

Mr. Xia was a little surprised when he saw the lively scene in front of him, but soon a knowing smile appeared on his face and he waved, asking Xiaolu to follow.

"Mr. Xia, please slow down and wait for me!"

Just as Xiaolu clicked the phone screen a few times, Mr. Xia had already moved forward a lot, and Xiaolu realized and quickly followed.

"What do you want to eat?"

When they were about to arrive, both of them smelled the fragrance of various snacks. Xiaolu was relatively "reserved" at first, but after a while, she could hear the sound of swallowing saliva in her throat.

"Ah~? Do you really want to eat?"

Xiaolu seemed to be stunned after Mr. Xia asked the question. She felt a little unable to let go. She didn't know if there was any other meaning in Mr. Xia's words.

"Okay, now don't be so nervous when you return to China. You are a top student in a world-famous university abroad. When you return to China, you should look like a Chinese. What girl doesn't like eating snacks?"

Mr. Xia knew Xiaolu's worries and was afraid of destroying the diligent and hard-working image in his heart. It was precisely because of her simplicity that he promoted her to be his personal secretary.

"I want to eat cold noodles, cold cakes and ice powder."

Xiaolu immediately declared her favorite. When she was in college in China, these things were a must-have delicacy in summer.

"No problem, let's go in. By the way, have you told your parents when you come back this time?"

Mr. Xia stretched out his hand to give Xiaolu a thumbs up. He didn't know what he thought of, and asked about Xiaolu's personal affairs.

"I didn't say anything"

Xiaolu thought silently in her heart that the schedule was a bit tight this time and she probably didn't have time to go back and see her parents, so it was better not to say anything, lest her mother would nag her again if she found out.

"You, work is never as important as your family, do you understand? After lunch, you will go home to rest and come back tomorrow morning."

Mr. Xia glanced at her angrily and gave her an order that she could not refuse.

"But you still want it here"

Xiaolu became a little anxious when she heard this, with a look of grievance on her face, and she almost shed tears.

"It's nothing but, look at you, where is the psychological quality of a professional woman, you need to exercise more."

When Mr. Xia saw Xiaolu's timid side, he couldn't help but feel deeply in his heart.

"No, Mr. Xia, I."

Xiaolu seemed to want to defend herself.

"That's it, let's go. I see there seems to be a long queue for the cold noodles over there, and the price seems a bit expensive?"

Mr. Xia seemed to have found his target and waved for Xiaolu to follow.
“Mr.

Xiaolu protected Mr. Xia and finally squeezed through the crowd to where the cold noodles were sold. She also paid attention to the prices of other snacks along the way.

"There is a reason why you are expensive. You get what you pay for. Didn't you see that there are the most people queuing here? It means it's worth the money."

Although Mr. Xia said this, he still agreed with Xiaolu's point of view. The prices of these three snacks are indeed a bit expensive.

I don’t know what this little girl did. Is the taste really worthy of the price?

"Mr. Xia, I'll just wait in line. You can go sit over there for a while."

Xiaolu was a little nervous when she saw the tables in the parking lot. There happened to be a table where someone had finished eating and was about to leave, but no one had sat down yet.

"No, didn't you see the note on the stall?
The purchase is limited to two copies, and you can only buy it in person in line! "

Mr. Xia pointed to the food stall, took out a cup from his bag and took a sip of water. The summer weather in Rongcheng is the most uncomfortable, and there is nowhere to hide from the sweltering heat except for the air-conditioned room.

"Ah~? There is such a rule. Wouldn't it be better to sell more?"

Xiaolu didn't understand the connection between the price, taste and purchase limit for a while, but that didn't stop her from immediately taking out an umbrella and holding it up for Mr. Xia.

"Sometimes, selling less is not necessarily a bad thing, and selling more is not necessarily a good thing. It seems that I haven't been back for a long time. This girl has been trained in the past few years."

Mr. Xia seems to agree with the purchase restriction and the price. Only Xiaolu is holding an umbrella and complaining quietly. At this price, the ice powder stand near my house can eat more than ten bowls.
After waiting in line for about half an hour, it was finally their turn. After paying their money, Mr. Xia chose a serving of cold noodles and jelly.

Xiaolu chose a portion of cold noodles and ice noodle. She originally wanted to make the same choice as Mr. Xia, but she had to taste the ice noodle to see why it was so expensive.
I have to say that the two of them were very lucky. They had just bought the snacks when they saw two people at a table not far away who had finished eating. They stood up and were about to leave.

"Mr. Xia, come quickly, this way, this way!"

Xiaolu rushed over after seeing it, spilling a little of the ice powder in her hand.

Mr. Xia looked at Xiaolu's fussy look and smiled in his heart. This secretary was good at everything, but he was a bit impatient and needed to be polished.

"Mr. Xia, please sit down for a while and I'll buy you something to drink."

After Xiaolu took care of Mr. Xia and sat down, she was very considerate and prepared to queue up. She couldn't have ice powder to drink by herself. Let Mr. Xia just eat dry food. She still had this bit of eyesight.

President Xia nodded, and then focused on the cold noodles. Xiaolu saw that mango juice was being sold over there, and the price seemed to be comparable to the cold noodles.

It's just a piece of juice, why is it so expensive?
Could it be that your mangoes are still imported?
Selling freshly squeezed juice at such a price is simply a money grab!
However, there were quite a few people queuing up there, and they were quite satisfied with the drink. The taste should not be bad, just right for Mr. Xia.

Mr. Xia ordered cold noodles with shredded chicken, which he and Xiaolu each ordered. Judging from the "face", it seemed to be no different from other cold noodles.

When I got closer and smelled it, I just felt that the smell of vinegar inside seemed to be more fragrant and mellow.

However, this shredded chicken looks a bit different, not quite like a broiler chicken, but a bit like a native chicken, but the meat of the native chicken is a little harder, and I don’t know if the shredded chicken will clog your teeth.

However, I haven’t eaten snacks for a long time, not because of social activities, but because it is rare to eat authentic domestic snacks abroad.

Especially a place with such a local flavor and such a strong atmosphere is really rare.

Mr. Xia's thoughts were wandering, but she did not relax her hands. Soon she was mixing the cold noodles.

A fresh and spicy smell hit the nostrils, which immediately aroused the appetite in the heart, making people want to feast immediately.

It smells so good!

Good play!

So crisp!

So spicy and refreshing!
After just taking a small bite, the smoothness and elasticity of the cold noodles, the tenderness of the shredded chicken, the crunchiness of the bean sprouts and the perfect combination of the sauce formed an unparalleled experience in my mouth.

How could just a small mouthful satisfy the aroused desire for food, Mr. Xia quickly took a big mouthful, and the perfect taste experience exploded in his mouth again.

It's so addictive that you can't stop eating it.

At this time, I have forgotten the environment I am in, the hustle and bustle around me, and the random thoughts in my mind just now.
The only thing that continues is the "competition" with the ordinary-looking but extraordinary bowl of cold noodles in front of me.

The body is just mechanically repeating one action, which is to use chopsticks to put the cold noodles into the mouth, fully enjoy the delicious taste on the tip of the tongue, and then continue the previous action.

How can it be so delicious?
I only thought of this question mark once in my mind, and then it quietly disappeared without a trace.
A bowl of cold noodles was finished quickly, but You felt that it was not satisfying at all, and always felt that something was missing!
Soon, Mr. Xia knew what it felt like, that there was nothing that a bowl of cold noodles couldn't solve, and if there was anything, it would be two bowls!

Why don't you eat the cold noodles placed in front of you?

At this moment, Mr. Xia couldn't even remember that this cold noodle belonged to Xiaolu. He only had one thought in his mind. He seemed to be lucky and had another bowl to taste.

This time the mixing speed was much faster than the last time. When the tip of the tongue once again experienced the combination of spicy and sour taste, it seemed that the whole summer time was enriched.

This~!

This is the real meaning of summer!

There were not many people queuing up for mango juice, so Xiaolu bought it quickly. She saw how the mango juice was made with her own eyes, and felt a little contemptuous of the juice seller.

Put the mango and water directly into the blender, start the machine and stir for a while, put it directly into the cup, and then use heat to seal it.

Such an expensive cup of mango juice is ready. A cup costs dozens of yuan. It feels like stealing money.
"President Xia, here comes the juice, take a sip and taste how it tastes."

After Xiaolu handed the juice to Mr. Xia, she then started looking for her bowl of cold noodles.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Xia ate very quickly. He finished the cold noodles and jelly in such a short time?

Huh~?

Where's your share of cold noodles?

Why are there only jelly and ice powder on the table?
"I'm sorry, Xiaolu, I accidentally ate this cold noodle, I'll queue up to buy another one for you."

Mr. Xia took the juice and took a sip gently. The cold and refreshing fragrance reached the depths of his soul and made him "sober" a lot. Only then did he realize that he had unknowingly eaten Xiaolu's portion. .

And when I was eating these two servings of cold noodles just now, I seemed to feel not only the delicious taste of the cold noodles, but also a warm feeling from them.

Yes, it is a very cozy and warm feeling. This feeling makes me feel a little strange.
"No need, no need!"

Xiaolu waved her hands quickly. Even if she wanted to go, she would go by herself. How could she let Mr. Xia queue up?

"Okay then, you can eat this jelly and I'll go outside for a walk."

After speaking, Mr. Xia pushed the two snacks to Xiaolu. As soon as he stood up, he saw a familiar figure entering the hotel.

Mr. Xia smiled and then followed him.
