Qin Mobai drove Lou Xi to Wang Yong’s internet cafe on Ande Road, but unfortunately, it wasn’t open this morning.
Lou Xi stood anxiously outside the internet cafe, feeling that nothing was going smoothly. Just then, her stomach suddenly started growling.
She had eaten a breakfast for two earlier, so why was she hungry by just eleven o’clock?
Feeling a bit embarrassed, she covered her face. Was being hungry at this moment going to make Young Master Qin think she’s a foodie?
"Let’s eat first."
"Aren’t we supposed to wait for the internet cafe owner to return? He posted a message saying he’ll be back this afternoon..." Lou Xi pointed to the notice on the door, saying the owner would return in the afternoon.
"I’m hungry." After speaking, he turned and walked towards the car first.
Lou Xi stood there stunned for two seconds, before realizing Young Master Qin was giving her an excuse to eat. It wasn’t that he was hungry; it was clearly her who was hungry!
Young Master Qin, you’re really a warm-hearted person despite your cool demeanor, aren’t you?
Lou Xi trotted to catch up. Apart from their first meeting in such dramatic circumstances, Qin Mobai really is a perfect man without any flaws!
But the problem was their first encounter was an absolute disaster.
Whenever she thought of what happened between her and Qin Mobai that day, it felt awkward.
It’s better to wait until this matter is settled, and find an opportunity to talk properly with Young Master Qin. From then on, they would go their separate ways.
...
Qin Mobai drove all the way to a ZQ hotpot restaurant, handed his car keys to the valet, and walked into the restaurant first.
Lou Xi looked at the ZQ hotpot restaurant sign, and suddenly felt tears of joy welling in her eyes.
How did he know she wanted to eat hotpot, and wanted it very much?
She initially planned to eat here with Bai Lu, but Bai Lu couldn’t eat spicy food, not even a bit. So she gave up the idea of coming to eat hotpot with Bai Lu.
She didn’t want to eat alone. Eating hotpot alone would be the highest level of loneliness!
Setting aside her thoughts, Lou Xi hurriedly followed Qin Mobai’s steps inside.
Honestly, Qin Mobai doesn’t match the hotpot restaurant’s style at all.
Lou Xi felt that one should be wearing a T-shirt and shorts in a hotpot restaurant, sitting at a table sweating from the heat of the hotpot.
But Qin Mobai, dressed in a suit with a frosty expression, made the hot atmosphere of the hotpot restaurant drop several degrees upon his arrival.
Moreover, why was there not a single table of customers in what should be a bustling hotpot restaurant?
Could it be that it’s not yet lunchtime?
But it’s already past eleven; isn’t this the time people come out to eat?
"Young Master Qin, this place only has us two customers. Could it be particularly bad?" Lou Xi asked softly after sitting down.
But that couldn’t be! Lou Xi had passed by this restaurant before, where it was always packed inside, and there were at least sixty or seventy people waiting outside every day.
The waiter who was pouring tea for Lou Xi smiled and said, "This gentleman has privately booked the place."
"Privately... booked?" Lou Xi had lived for twenty years and hadn’t encountered such a thing before; it happened unexpectedly!
"No need to thank me," Qin Mobai said lightly, "I just don’t like eating in crowded places."
Lou Xi shook her head, blinked, and said, "Why do other people book places like five-star hotels or Michelin three-star restaurants? And I get a hotpot restaurant."
Seems like it’s not romantic at all.
