Chapter 75 Eat, I Like Everything He Likes

"Brother Jiu, is the coffee still not ready?" Lou Qingxiao walked over while turning the wheelchair.

Guan Lue put the phone aside and took off the hour glass on the mouth of the cup.

"Try it." He handed half a cup of strong coffee to Lou Qingxiao.

Lou Qingxiao picked it up and smelled it: "It seems to be pretty good."

"Well, Vietnamese coffee tastes very special."

"Really? Then I want to try it." Lou Qingxiao smiled softly, raised her glass to take a sip, and immediately frowned.

"what happened?"

"so bitter……"

"Is it bitter? I added two spoonfuls of condensed milk." Guan Yue took out a silver spoon and stirred in the cup, stirring up the condensed milk at the bottom of the cup: "Try again?"

Lou Qingxiao took another sip: "It's still bitter and has a sour taste."

Guan Lue could only laugh helplessly: "The coffee beans in Vietnam are like this. It is located in the tropics and is humid all year round, so the beans are also more sour and bitter than those grown in other places, but the taste is better than that."

Guan Lue speaks eloquently. Although he doesn't drink coffee, he has studied it in the past few years and has become a half-expert.

Lou Qingxiao felt uncomfortable in every possible way when he saw how he was explaining seriously.

She just thought, such a good man, how could the relationship between them for so many years fade away just because of one Tang Jingcheng!
"Brother Nine..."

"Ok?"

"I don't drink coffee anymore, it's too bitter, but I still like the old taste."

Guan Lue didn't say much, took half a cup of coffee from her hand, and Lou Qingxiao saw the bloodstains on his hand at a glance, on the back of his hand, there were obviously several bloodstains, some of which were crescent moon marks.

This was caught by Tang Jingcheng last night.

She thought of the bad move and tossed Guan Lue, but Guan Lue caught her and naturally refused to let her go easily, almost sucking her to the bone, Xiao Nizi usually looks frivolous, but she couldn't stand Guan Lue's fierceness a few times on the bed .

Guan Lue is also quite capable of tormenting people. Knowing that her right shoulder is weak, he clasped her left hand and slammed it down. Tang Jingcheng didn't even have room to struggle. His body was churning violently. It was useless for her to beg for mercy. She probably couldn't bear to let her pass so easily, and could only use her fingernails to randomly dig into his flesh.

At that time, Guan Lue didn't feel much pain, but after the incident, he found that the back of his hand was covered with blood marks from her grabbing.

This is the little lion...

After a little recollection, Guan recalled her helpless eyes under him last night, blurred and moist, but did not hide her strong desire for him at all.

At that time, Tang Jingcheng's body was intertwined with contradictory aesthetic feelings, while gritting her teeth to endure the scorching heat accumulated in her body, her eyes were fragile and wandering, and she occasionally begged for mercy in a low voice, as if she could not bear it anytime and anywhere and would faint, but on the other hand, Frivolously trying to seduce his soul, as if everything is not enough.

She is a shameless bad woman at all!
Guan Lue couldn't help a little smile from the corner of his mouth, just happened to be caught by Lou Qingxiao.

"What's wrong with your hand?" She asked with concern, wanting to hold Guan Lue's wrist, Guan Lue quickly pulled it back, turned around and put the coffee cup on the table, and replied calmly: "It's nothing, I was careless when I was practicing boxing." rubbed."

Lou Qingxiao glanced at his face, Guan Lue had already put away the smile.

"Look at you, you are so grown up, why are you still as frizzy as you were when you were a child?"

"..."

Guan took a sip of cold water stuck in his throat and swallowed for a long time.

"I have something to do this afternoon."

"Well, I know, did Ye Qin go to Yunnan?"

Guan Lue held the water glass for a meal: "How do you know?"

"She called me at the airport in the morning, and complained to me that you asked her to go out to perform missions during Chinese New Year, and asked me if I wanted her to bring something from Yunnan."

Guan slightly darkened his eyes.

Lou Qingxiao laughed again, with a peaceful attitude: "You said what should I ask her to bring when I'm at home all day, but she said that you asked her to bring several catties of top-quality Pu'er."

These words obviously meant something, and Guan Lue didn't intend to hide it.

"Well, Tang Jingcheng likes to drink Pu'er tea."

"Sure, by the way, how is the injury on her shoulder? I've always wanted to take time to visit her, why don't I invite her to come with me on my birthday?" Lou Qingxiao easily brought the topic to her birthday. matter.

In previous years, Guan Lue would accompany him on her birthday, and she didn't like to go out. She kept everything simple, and usually the servants at home would cook a few more dishes. Guan Lue would buy her a gift, have a meal and drink with her liquor.

Just hearing her tone this year...

"How do you plan on celebrating your birthday?"

"Well, this year happens to be my 28th birthday, why don't we go outside?"

Guan thought for a while: "It's up to you."

……

Su Jue's car drove forward at a constant speed, with piano music playing in the car, and the two of them hardly spoke again, except that Tang Jingcheng occasionally peeked at this man from the corner of his eye.

It seems that today he looks a little different. He is wearing a light brown lapel jumper with simple geometric figures on it. This is probably the first time Tang Jingcheng has seen him wearing clothes other than formal clothes, but overall he feels good. Just owed in the expression.

Tang Jingcheng found that the expression on his face had hardly changed since he got in the car, his eyes were always dull, and his brows were slightly frowned.

Facial paralyzed man!
However, the man with facial paralysis drove in a good mood. Even if he encountered traffic jams in the urban area, he was not impatient, quietly waiting for the red light, and quietly avoiding the cars that jumped in line next to him.

Looking at it this way, if you put aside his identity and aura, and ignore the comments made by insiders on him, and just look at Su Jue who is driving seriously at this time, Tang Jingcheng suddenly feels that this man is not as bad as he thought before, at least his skin And great figure.

"This is the 13th time you have peeked at me, Miss Tang, are you interested in me?"

"..."

The man with the paralyzed face spoke suddenly, and Tang Jingcheng was frightened, and the little "change" he had made just now was completely gone.

What a self righteous man!

"Mr. Su is really good at joking, I just wanted to ask if I could go around to my studio for a while?"

Su Jue then turned to look at her, and slowed down the car: "Miss Tang is going back to the studio?"

"Get something!"

Su Jue had already been to Tang Jingcheng's studio when he went to get the bottle of lotus, and he was familiar with the road, and soon the car arrived at the door of the studio.

Tang Jingcheng got out of the car.

"Please wait for me at the door, I'll come as soon as I go." After speaking, he opened the door and ran in.

Su Jue sat in the car and looked at the gate of Tang Jingcheng's studio. This was an old private house that she rented out as a whole and turned it into a jade carving studio. A "Tang" character is engraved in the official script.

"Okay, let's go." Before he knew it, Tang Jingcheng had already gotten into the car.

Su Jue didn't ask her what she took.

The car circled the city for about ten minutes, and finally turned into an alley.

Tang Jingcheng was a little suspicious, there would be a restaurant in this ghost place, and when he was about to ask, Su Jue's cell phone rang.

"Brother Su, haven't you arrived after picking up my sister?" Tang Jingcheng could still hear Yao Xiaotang's soft voice coming from the phone even half a meter away.

Su Jue, who was paralyzed all the way, actually smiled: "I have already entered the alley, and there are still a few minutes."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you at the door."

After hanging up the phone, the car made another two rounds in the alley, and finally stopped beside an old wall at the end of the alley.

"Get out of the car!" Su Jue personally went to open the door for Tang Jingcheng.

"arrive?"

"arrive!"

Tang Jingcheng was really surprised. There was an unremarkable courtyard house in front of him. The gate was open and the paint was broken.

This is not like a place to eat.

"Sister, Brother Su!"

When Tang Jingcheng got out of the car, he saw Yao Xiaotang running out of the yard. He first went up to hold Su Jue's arm and complained coquettishly, such as why he didn't arrive at Yunyun until now, and then turned to Tang Jingcheng.

Just as Tang Jingcheng wanted to say hello, she took her arm directly: "Come on, sister, let's eat first, I'm so hungry."

In the end, the three of them walked together, and Yao Xiaotang stood in the middle, entangled Su Jue, and led Tang Jingcheng by the arm into the courtyard.

The courtyard looks unremarkable from the outside, but when you enter, you will find that there is something hidden in the sky. There are a few scattered tile-roofed houses, blue bricks and white walls, door lintels and window edges are all painted with vermilion paint.

What Tang Jingcheng liked the most were the ginkgo trees in the yard, which seemed to be older than the ones in her studio.

"Sister, how is this place?"

"Not bad, for dinner?"

"Yeah, I only accept reservations for three tables a day for private Yunnan dishes, one table for one room, see, we're in that room today!" Yao Xiaotang pointed to a room diagonally opposite, and said, "But there are also It’s not just for eating, that room is a tea room, next to it is a study room, oh yes, this place is Brother Su’s favorite restaurant.” Yao Xiaotang warmly introduced, and after finishing, he still looked at Su Jue shyly, and added , "Of course, I like it here too."

"..."

"..."

Tang Jingcheng's scalp felt cold, and he always felt that his 1000-watt light bulb was too bright.

"Go in, go in, I'm starving to death!" Yao Xiaotang teased Tang Jingcheng again.

The three of them entered the room. As expected, there was a table and a room. There were various oil paintings hanging on the walls. The artistic atmosphere was very strong. It felt a bit wasteful to use this place for eating.

"Sister, sit!" Yao Xiaotang first pulled Su Jue to sit next to her, then pointed to the chair opposite.

Tang Jingcheng sat over, and the three of them were in a triangle position, which she always felt was a bit awkward.

"Miss Yao..."

"Call me Tangtang."

"Okay, Tangtang." Tang Jingcheng could only obey, this girl was too enthusiastic, "I know that you may have misunderstood what happened with Mr. Su at the hotel that day, so I think it is necessary to explain to you face to face. "

"No, I'm not angry anymore." Yao Xiaotang interrupted Tang Jingcheng's opening remarks, and put his face on Su Jue's arm next to him, "Brother Su has explained to me that I trust him, so I am not angry, let alone us I'm about to get married, so I won't worry about it."

"..."

Tang Jingcheng didn't expect the opening speech to be so smooth. She glanced at Su Jue, who was also looking at her with a handsome face, "Actually, Tangtang and I asked you out today. We just wanted to have dinner with you. On the one hand, I apologize for Aunt Tangtang beating you, and on the other hand, I thank you for selling me the bottle of lotus."

Speaking of this, Su Jue held Yao Xiaotang's hand and smiled, with sullen eyes in his eyes: "To be honest, if it weren't for the lotus that came out of the bottle, Tangtang might not have agreed to my marriage proposal so quickly."

"..."

The two people in front of them looked very affectionate, even if Tang Jingcheng still had resentment about Chushui Furong in his heart, he couldn't say anything more.

"Just assume that I have no fate with that bottle of jade."

"Then I have to thank my sister." Yao Xiaotang replied happily, but suddenly changed the topic, "Sister, my engagement date with Brother Su has been fixed, and it will be next month, and I will invite you at that time."

"Okay, I'll definitely go!" Tang Jingcheng didn't coax her, she was really willing to go, if the lotus out of the vase could make a marriage, even if it wasn't her and Qiu Qiguan, it would be the same for someone else, let alone her I also like the girl Yao Xiaotang very much.

"By the way, since you're getting engaged next month, my sister happens to have something for you." Tang Jingcheng took out a square box from his pocket.

"What?" Yao Xiaotang took it and opened it. Inside the box was a red emerald gold brooch inlaid with diamonds. The emerald in the middle was in the shape of a butterfly, and it was carved lifelike.

"Wow... so beautiful, is this really for me?"

"Well, I'll give it to you as my sister's engagement."

"Did you carve that sister yourself?"

Tang Jingcheng nodded, and now Yao Xiaotang was even happier: "Brother Su, help me put it on and have a look."

With such impatience, Su Jue followed her and helped her pin the butterfly brooch to the clothes on her chest.

"Brother Su, do you look good?"

"nice!"

Yao Xiaotang cheerfully took out the small mirror and took a look, and seemed to be more and more satisfied, and immediately said: "Brother Su, I will wear a cheongsam on the night of the engagement party, and then I will wear this brooch given by my sister to go .”

Su Jue also followed her: "Okay."

Tang Jingcheng couldn't help wondering, he felt that this paralyzed man was very gentle and considerate in front of Yao Xiaotang, as if he was a completely different person.

Maybe it's all about one thing.

The somewhat abrupt meal became less embarrassing because of Yao Xiaotang's straightforwardness and innocence, and the dishes were quickly served on the table. There were five or six simple dishes, but the cooking was quite unique.

It’s just that Tang Jingcheng has no illusions about Yunnan cuisine. She remembers that Guan Lue invited her to a local authentic Yunnan restaurant when she first went to Tengchong, but in the end she bought a pack of soda biscuits to wrap her belly.

She didn't plan to eat well this time, but unexpectedly, the Yunnan cuisine in that private restaurant was unexpectedly prepared to suit her taste, especially one of the pumpkin tofu, which was sweet, smooth, and refreshing.

It's a pity that the amount is too small, Yao Xiaotang also seems to like it very much, Tang Jingcheng can't compete with her, he just eats a few spoonfuls and then doesn't touch it anymore.

Yao Xiaotang soon ate up a whole serving of pumpkin tofu. Su Jue smiled and handed her a tissue: "Is it enough? How about another one?"

Yao Xiaotang nodded immediately: "Okay, but Brother Su, why are you so nice today? Didn't you always control me to eat sweets for dinner?"

But Su Jue raised his head and glanced at Tang Jingcheng: "I indulge you once in a while, I'll ask the waiter to add another one!"

Su Jue got up, and Tang Jingcheng sat on the chair in a daze, always feeling that Su Jue's look just now was very tender.

As soon as Su Jue left, Yao Xiaotang began to chatter non-stop, and Tang Jingcheng was not a talkative person, so he was perfunctory occasionally.

"Sister, what do you think of the food here?"

"Okay."

"Do you not like it?"

"Like it."

"Oh." Yao Xiaotang began to hold his face in his hands and shook and shook without speaking. After shaking for a while, he came closer and said, "Sister, let me tell you a secret."

"what?"

"Actually, I don't really like the taste of this restaurant."

"..." Tang Jingcheng felt that the girl was a little uncertain, "Didn't you say that you liked it very much in the yard just now?"

"Hey... that's why I said that because Brother Su likes this place."

"..."

"Sister, let me tell you, I will hate whatever Brother Su hates, and I will also like what Brother Su likes."

Tang Jingcheng couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

In this world, it is hard to find a girl as pure as Yao Xiaotang. She regards her feelings for Su Jue as a matter of faith, she hates her, she loves her, she doesn't ask the reason, she doesn't care about the reward, and she is complacent.

This kind of love may seem stupid, but it is also hearty.

"Tangtang, you will be a very qualified Mrs. Su."

"Really?" Yao Xiaotang was overjoyed.

Tang Jingcheng bent his eyes: "Really."

"Thank you, I'm going to tell Brother Su this sentence, and say that it was you who said it." When Yao Xiaotang was excited, Su Jue had already walked in from outside the house.

"What are you talking about so happily?"

"Brother Su..." Yao Xiaotang immediately entangled him affectionately, "My sister said that I will be a very qualified Mrs. Su in the future..."

The corners of Su Jue's mouth, which was still slightly smiling, drooped, held Yao Xiaotang's hand, and turned to Tang Jingcheng: "Thank you, I believe it will be the same!"

Tang Jingcheng couldn't help but smile more sincerely.

If Su Jue has always been inferior to a beast in her mind, at least at this moment, when the man in front of her firmly held Yao Xiaotang's hand and said firmly, "I also believe it will be like this", Tang Jingcheng believed that he was real. love her.

……

After dinner, Su Jue sent Yao Xiaotang home first. The little girl seemed to enjoy the meal, and before getting off the car, she kept thanking Tang Jingcheng for giving her a butterfly brooch.

Su Jue sent her into Yao's house, and he came out a few minutes later to see Tang Jingcheng, wrapped in a shawl, leaning on the hood of the car, smoking a cigarette.

"Sorry, I just saw cigarettes in your car, so I took one without authorization." Tang Jingcheng raised his finger.

Su Jue didn't seem to care, just said: "Smoking less."

"Understood, I'll smoke you one." Tang Jingcheng smiled falsely, his eyes fluttering in the mist, and suddenly asked, "Mr. Su doesn't smoke, why is there in the car?"

Su Jue lowered his eyes: "Maybe someone got off my car last time."

"..."

On the way back, Su Jue remained silent until he was about to turn into the Guanzhai intersection, and he gradually slowed down the speed of the car.

"How's the shoulder injury?"

"Huh? Oh...it's okay."

"Will the wound still hurt?"

"Occasionally, there will be a little bit." Tang Jingcheng looked out of the window, thinking, for example, when she was asleep last night, he pushed too hard, and she would feel a little pain when he bumped into it.

Su Jue felt that there was something subtly wrong with the expression on Tang Jingcheng's face, and there was a sullen look in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" He observed too carefully.

Tang Jingcheng realized that he was overly yearning, and immediately put a smile on his face: "It's nothing, I'm coming soon, thank you and Miss Yao for your hospitality today."

Su Jue finally smiled, the only time he smiled at Tang Jingcheng along the way.

"Tangtang likes you very much."

"I also like her very much, she is a good girl, Mr. Su should cherish it."

The smile on Su Jue's face disappeared again, and the car stopped.

"I know she is a good girl, and I will cherish it." When he said this, his eyes looked at Tang Jingcheng directly, so that Tang Jingcheng was a little flustered by his eyes.

"Then... I'll get out of the car first, thank you." She opened the door and was about to go down. She really felt that the man looked at her with a sense of urgency.

It's just that Tang Jingcheng just stepped out of the car, and when he looked up, Guan Lue was standing in the wind with a piece of clothing not far away...
