Chapter 173: Mr. Lu, Did Your Girlfriend Not Come Tonight?
“Little foodie!” Lu Ziyi dotingly gently flicked Ye Chuxiao’s well-defined nose bridge and said, “I’m going to Wu Yu’er Western Restaurant to discuss some official business. Xiaoxiao, come with me to eat delicious food.”
Ye Chuxiao looked at Lu Ziyi, then at the design draft, and finally clutched her chest and said with heartache, “My design draft isn’t finished yet, and it’s due the day after tomorrow. Senior Student Ziyi, my inspiration relies entirely on you to pack it up. One portion of hand-torn beef!”
“Still one portion of hand-torn beef!” Lu Ziyi pinched Ye Chuxiao’s chin and examined her appearance. “No pimples, feeling smug?”
Ye Chuxiao proudly said, “I indeed have no pimples. And another portion of candied taro strips. Senior Student Ziyi, you have to run fast! If it gets cold, it will stick together and won’t form threads!”
Lu Ziyi looked like he had no choice but to indulge her and said helplessly, “Little foodie, you have so many demands!”
“Hehe,” Ye Chuxiao said, “Senior Student Ziyi, hurry back. I’ll wait for you!”
“You’re waiting for your hand-torn beef and candied taro, aren’t you?” Lu Ziyi ruffled Ye Chuxiao’s soft hair.
Ye Chuxiao was as well-behaved as a petite cat acting spoiled, “I’m waiting for Senior Student Ziyi. Senior Student Ziyi, go quickly and come back quickly. I miss you so much!”
“Alright, I’ll pretend to believe you.”
Because of Ye Chuxiao’s unintentional “I miss you,” Lu Ziyi walked out of the print room with a gentle feeling in his heart.
In the hall, two pairs of eyes stared at him with a green glow.
“Ziyi, hand-torn beef and candied taro, two portions.”
Lu Ziyi replied heartlessly, “You guys find a takeout guy. Their service attitude is very good.”
Zhao Congrui raised an eyebrow, “The takeout guy isn’t as fast as Ziyi. If the candied taro gets cold, it won’t form threads!”
Zhao Congrui and Lin Houchun chuckled.
Lu Ziyi saidים expressionlessly, “If it were the two of you, the candied taro would turn into mush from being cold!”
Lin Houchun poked Zhao Congrui’s head and chided, “It’s all your fault, little foodie, for having so many demands!”
Lu Ziyi cast a disdainful glance at Zhao Congrui and Lin Houchun, snorted coldly, and went out.
Zhao Congrui and Lin Houchun stretched out their right hands, looking as if they were gazing into the distance, “Ziyi—we miss you—”
Lu Ziyi heartlessly closed the door.
“Yo, buying late night snacks for your wife, feeling smug?” Zhao Congrui and Lin Houchun cackled and burst into laughter. Hearing Lu Ziyi coax his wife could give you goosebumps; it was just too much fun!
Lu Ziyi, entrusted with an important mission by Ye Chuxiao, walked briskly towards Wu Yu’er Western Restaurant.
The waiter respectfully opened the door, and Lu Ziyi strode in. Tang Jie’er, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly raised her fair, slender arm and gestured to Lu Ziyi to her seat.
The waiter led Lu Ziyi to Tang Jie’er.
Lu Ziyi sat on the long bench on the other side of the booth.
The waiter who came to take the order recognized Lu Ziyi because this Mr. Lu was a regular customer here.
“Mr. Lu, good evening!” Waiter Xiao Yu greeted him with a smile.
“Good evening,” Lu Ziyi nodded amiably, “Please pack one portion of hand-torn beef and one portion of candied taro for me.”
It was rare for a customer to order takeout immediately upon arrival, but Xiao Yu understood and said with a smile, “It’s for Xiaoxiao, isn’t it? She didn’t come with you tonight?”
Tang Jie’er opposite him pretended to take a sip from her coffee cup, but she was secretly watching Lu Ziyi and the waiter converse. She heard that Lu Ziyi was very attentive to his little assistant, and they often came to eat Western food together. Even the waiter knew Ye Chuxiao’s preferences!
