I was a fortune teller in 90
Chapter 536: He was once a pale-faced scholar
Chapter 536 He used to be a pale-faced scholar
When you open a business, everyone who comes is a customer. As long as the customers come in, they are there to give you money, so the boss will naturally be polite and enthusiastic.
"As long as there are seats available, I will arrange them for you two immediately."
As he spoke, the boss asked the waiter to bring two chairs from inside the store so that they could sit down and have a cup of tea first.
Dai Qing looked at the stars in the night sky, sat down on the chair prepared by the boss, and leaned back.
"Come, sit together."
Tang Zikai looked at her attitude, chuckled, and sat down next to her.
"I just wanted to think about what to order later."
"The shabu-shabu mutton here is a local specialty and tastes pretty good. When I came to the capital a few times ago, I tried several restaurants. The mutton was of good quality. The only difference was the dipping sauce, and each had its own secret recipe."
Sitting at the door, the air was filled with the unique aroma of shabu-shabu. Inside the restaurant, a group of people gathered around a pot, laughing and talking happily, which was not only appetizing but also lively.
The shop owner kept his promise and personally welcomed them in when a table became available.
"What would you two like to eat? Just order whatever you want. I'll arrange it right away."
Tang Zikai took the menu, and the two of them ordered two plates of fresh hand-cut lamb, plus a portion of cold lamb rolls, fish balls, beef balls, some vegetables, fried bean curd and other side dishes, which was enough for two people.
The boss offered to send a plate of handmade noodles.
After a hot pot meal, both of them were sweating on their foreheads and felt warm all over.
"In winter, this kind of hot pot is the most suitable."
“After eating, the body is warm, not cold at all.” Dai Qing chuckled and echoed in agreement.
Walking on the street again, watching the people passing by, accompanied by bursts of laughter, Dai Qing felt the hustle and bustle around her and felt very comfortable.
The New Year symbolizes reunion and liveliness, and it would be lonely for her to go there alone.
But her personality is not suitable for long-term noise, comparatively speaking, she still prefers to be alone. Everything has its gains and losses, and she is very satisfied with the current life.
Tang Zikai put his hands in his pockets and walked with Dai Qing on the busy street. He looked at her profile with a slight smile on his face.
"New Year's Eve is all about excitement. It's too lonely to celebrate it alone. I should have invited you to come over before the New Year."
"Everyone has their own life and plans. I can't let that affect your life. I'm already very satisfied with just occasionally getting together, chatting, and having a meal. Besides, you know my personality. I wouldn't be used to long periods of noise."
Dai Qing raised her head and looked at Tang Zikai's angular face. She had to admit that this guy was really handsome.
Under the dim street lights, it was as if he was covered with a layer of hazy light, making his eyebrows and eyes appear deeper, brighter, and sparkling like gems. Occasionally, there was an unruly air between his eyebrows. His nose was straight, and his lips were clearly defined. When they were slightly raised, he was confident and calm.
"Has anyone praised you for your good looks?" Dai Qing couldn't help but tease after admiring her.
Tang Zikai looked at the cunning in her eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.
"Of course, I have an outstanding appearance, so I am used to being praised. I am not afraid of you laughing at me. If I could stand still, I would be known as a pale-faced scholar."
"Now, my skin has become darker and my face is rougher than before, but I like myself better now."
Because of his grandfather, he was praised by people from childhood to adulthood. The words of praise were varied. Some people praised him for his good looks, some praised him for his good manners. Some people praised him for his intelligence. Even when he was naughty, people praised him for his intelligence and adaptability. Anyway, since he could remember, he grew up in praise. Because of this, his character was somewhat arrogant and looked down on everything. For this, he was often scolded by his grandfather.
It was not until he joined the army and received formal training that his behavior began to moderate. But the character he had developed since childhood could not be changed in a short time.
Even in the team, he was still the most outspoken one, and his opponents often made a fuss about him, saying that he was a young master soldier, had a young master's temper, and always showed a sense of superiority. Because of this, he was often surrounded and provoked.
The purpose was to prove that he was a soldier of the young master and make him pack up and leave.
Unfortunately, he was a very brave man since he was a child. He was not afraid of anything. If he was given a lever, he would dare to move the earth. During his time in the recruit camp, he was the only one who dared to face the instructor and challenge him openly.
He dares to provoke others, and of course he is not afraid of others provoking him.
Instead, he was very excited because someone was provoking him and proving that he was different.
At that time, he had to be alert even when sleeping. Fortunately, he was not a show-off. Under the eyes of everyone, he stood firm with his strength and suppressed those unfair voices.
In the subsequent competition, he entered the special operations team with excellent results.
After arduous training, he grew from an ordinary special operations soldier to a special operations captain, and now to a special operations company commander.
Of course, he admitted that a troublemaker like him did cause a lot of trouble to his superiors.
But he has always believed that an excellent person must have his own unique personality and charm to lead his brothers through life and death and return safely.
After these years of experience, he has transformed from a handsome young man to a tough guy. As a soldier, he likes himself now, which can show strength and bring a sense of security to others.
Listening to Tang Zikai's self-mockery and looking at his aura, Dai Qing couldn't help but chuckle.
This man has such a personality that it is not easy to hide his edge.
"You are excellent, no doubt about it."
Family qualities can show a person's personality and also affect their future life. Tang Zikai and Xing Zhou were born with privileges, and they were considered to be top-notch, so they were destined to be extraordinary.
The two of them talked as they strolled back to Zaoshu Hutong.
Dai Qing entered the yard and didn't hear any footsteps following her. When she turned around, she saw Tang Zikai leaning against the door.
"Why don't you come in?"
"It's getting late. I should go back. I'll come back tomorrow." Tang Zikai felt particularly happy when he saw Dai Qing wearing the red down jacket he bought for her, which made her face look fair and rosy.
"Go to bed early and good night."
The more I look at this girl, the more I like her. I feel very comfortable when I am with her, even if it is just chatting.
In the past, he was still a little confused about this feeling. Because of the relationship between him and his lifesaver, he treated Dai Qing as a good friend, and he didn't know if he was used to it, but now he always wanted to take care of her.
Later, when he accidentally heard his two cousins talking about love at home, he suddenly realized that his feelings for Dai Qing had long exceeded the boundaries of friendship.
