"Is it okay to sit here?"

The boss led the two of them to the table where Zhang Tie and Lu Haoting had a drink last time. It was next to the window and was bright, so it was quieter than the tables inside.

It was also their luck that the guests at this table had just left, so when they arrived, they could be seated without waiting.

"Okay, pretty good."

Lu Haoting nodded. It doesn't matter where you sit. What matters is who you eat with.

It was quiet here, and he could have a farewell meal with his wife in peace. His heart was a little heavy, so he raised his eyes and glanced at Zuo Jingyan. She was asking the boss to order a menu!

Lu Haoting let her order, sat on the stool and looked at her quietly. The setting sun shone in from the window, dyeing her pale face red. He thought of the photo again, and it was this orange-red light that shone on her.

On her face, she had a gentle and charming smile.

The boss handed it to Lu Haoting, who pointed at Zuo Jingyuan:

"Give it to her."

"Braised lion's head, stir-fried belly strips, homemade cold dishes, and seaweed and egg drop soup."

Zuo Jingyan ordered two meat dishes, one vegetable dish and a soup. When she looked up, she realized that the boss had been staring at her with a strange look. She returned her order to the boss:

"Are there any dumplings?"

"It has pork, green onions, leeks, eggs and three delicacies stuffing."

The boss quickly looked back at Zuo Jingyan and answered.

The main reason is that it's so strange. When a man and a woman go to a restaurant, the man usually orders, or the two of them discuss it. Why do they order the food while the woman orders?

Just now, he thought this girl was weak-tempered, but he misjudged the idea. The soldier let her order without saying a word, and it seemed that it was her decision.

Zuo Jingyan asked Lu Haoting for his opinion:

"What filling do you want to eat?"

"Just keep an eye on it, I can do that."

Lu Haoting waved his hand, looking casual.

Zuo Jingyan glanced at him, "Brother, whatever is the most difficult thing to do!"

"Pork, scallions, and three delicacies stuffing, the same plate. Is there any wine? Give him a bottle."

The leek and eggs were delicious, but they had a bit of a smell, so Zuo Jingyan chose the other two. After choosing the dumplings, she asked Lu Haoting for a bottle of wine.

Lu Haoting only spoke after hearing the request for wine:

"No need to drink, I have something to do tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll be here soon."

After the boss finished taking notes, he asked the waiter to pour two bowls of boiled water, said "wait a moment" and left.

As soon as he left, Zuo Jingyan and Lu Haoting were left alone. Zuo Jingyan remembered that she had forgotten to ask Lu Haoting for his opinion when ordering. She looked at Lu Haoting and asked:

"Do you eat all the dishes you just ordered?"

"Eat them all."

When asked with concern by his wife, Lu Haoting nodded with a smile.

Zuo Jingyan was really not used to seeing him smile. Whenever she saw this man, he always had an iceberg face, and suddenly he smiled. How did he feel like a big bad wolf staring at a little sheep?

"Drink some water."

The waiter brought two bowls of boiled water, and Zuo Jingyan asked Lu Haoting to drink the water.

The two of them had very little time to be alone these days. Although they were in a crowded restaurant, there was only one table for them at the moment.

Lu Haoting was also really thirsty. He kept carrying his wife on his back and his mouth was inevitably dry. Mainly because he was always restless in places where he shouldn't be, which made his throat even more smokey.

After pouring a bowl of water, I still felt thirsty! The waiter was very knowledgeable. When he saw that he had finished drinking, he immediately poured another cup with a thermos, which was enough for him to drink.

The dishes arrived quickly. The chef's skill was really good. The braised lion's head was soft and juicy. It was all meat and the soup was delicious. You will have endless aftertaste after taking one bite.

The stir-fried tripe strips are also made with solid ingredients, with a lot of tripe. The chili peppers are Sichuan red peppers, which are dry and fragrant when stir-fried.

The reason why I ordered this dish is because Lu Haoting likes spicy food, and stir-fried tripe is a good dish to go with wine. I didn't expect Lu Haoting not to drink today, but Zuo Jingyan remembered how good his drinking capacity was on the day of the treat.

Everyone else was a little drunk, but he seemed to have never drank. His face didn't even change, and he didn't smell much of alcohol.

According to his comrades, Lu Haoting has a huge amount of alcohol, and no one seems to have seen him drink too much!

Both of them ate in silence, no one said a word. Zuo Jingyan originally wanted to propose a toast, but thinking that the original owner didn't know the culture of the wine table, she didn't bother. Anyway, it's not a problem to eat in a restaurant without talking.

When Lu Haoting saw her immersed in eating vegetables, he had a thousand things to say in his heart, but what came out of his mouth was:

"...eat more."

He silently picked up dumplings for Zuo Jingyan. In the older generation, eating dumplings was considered as a way of showing off. He got on the bus and dumped the dumplings on the noodles, hoping that he could still eat the noodles with Zuo Jingyan.

Zuo Jingyan raised her eyes to look at him, and it was that feeling again, as if she was parting from life or death. Lu Haoting looked at her with eyes full of reluctance, as if she would never come back.

Zuo Jingyan looked at Xiaodie in front of her and was almost filled with Lu Haoting. Thinking of the meticulous care he had taken for her in the past few days and the bumpy afternoon with her today, she raised her eyes to look at Lu Haoting and said sincerely:

"Well, thank you for taking care of me these days, and thank you for helping me today."

Lu Haoting lowered his eyes. He didn't want to hear her say thank you anymore, and said in a low voice:

"We are husband and wife."

He has repeated this sentence several times today, but he still wants to say that he does not want to be blocked from life by Zuo Jingyan.

After saying that, his eyes dimmed a little. What's the use of emphasizing it again?

Zuo Jingyan didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. It was rare for the two of them to sit together and have a meal quietly without arguing. Besides, she was treating guests today, so she didn't want to say anything that would ruin the scenery. She gave Lu Haoting a piece of fried tripe with chopsticks.

On a small plate in front of him:

"Eat vegetables, eat more."

Lu Haoting ate heartily and didn't say a word for the whole meal. The air suddenly became very heavy.

The boss kept looking at them from behind the cashier desk. These two people were so strange that he still couldn't understand their relationship.

It seemed that the girl was hosting the guests, and the man looked at her with pain and reluctance. It wasn't like he was looking at his sister, but rather like he was looking at someone he wanted to break up with?

The woman also served the man some food, but there was no tenderness or love. She was very calm throughout the process.

Is this man pursuing a woman? The two of them have the intention of King Xiang and the woman has no intention of doing so.

After finishing the meal in silence, Zuo Jingyan called the boss to come over and settle the accounts. Lu Haoting held her down and his low voice was a bit pleading:

"Let me treat you once."

Okay! With his tone and eyes like this, Zuo Jingyan couldn't refuse, please, it's the same thing to pick him up herself when he comes back from the military academy.

When the boss saw Lu Haoting paying, he felt that it was right. How could a man and a woman eat together and ask the woman to treat him?

The boss was so curious that after guessing the meal time, he always wanted to confirm whether his guess was correct? When he was getting change after collecting the money, he couldn't help but ask Lu Haoting:
Chapter completed!
