Without saying anything else, Li Tianyu took the lead out of the ward, and Xu nianyi followed Yan Kuan's footsteps. Yan Kuan enthusiastically chose to lead the way and invited Li Tianyu and Xu Nian to take their own car - a cool blue Porsche originally imported.
When she saw the car, Xu nianyi was a little surprised. It's hard to imagine that Yan Kuan, a low-key person, would choose such a vibrant color. She always believed that Yan Kuan's car must be a common low-key color such as black or white silver gray.
After getting on the bus, Li Tianyu kept silent. Yan Kuan sat in the driver's seat and was responsible for driving. Occasionally, he would slow down if he passed any fancy building. He looked slightly at Xu nianyi sitting in the back row and introduced the origin of the building with a smile.
When passing an intersection, Yan Kuan smiled and looked to the left of the intersection and said to the two people in the back: "turn right from this intersection and go straight for a distance. It's a very famous summer resort. If you can stay a few more days this time, why don't I take you in."
"Oh," Xu Nian answered briefly, then turned his head and looked at the intersection outside the window. He was thoughtful. She had been to the royal garden last time. Shaojun took her and Yifeng for a whole day. All the palaces, big and small, have been seen.
She had no impression of the scenery inside, but she remembered clearly that she was very happy that day.
Yan Kuan, who was driving in front, raised his eyes and looked through the rearview mirror at Xu nianyi, who was sinking into meditation. Seeing that her mind was not talking, she stopped talking.
Ten minutes later, the Sichuan restaurant arrived.
To be exact, this is an authentic Chongqing hot pot shop. The decoration at the door is like a building. The green gray bricks form a gate of about three meters. A high red lantern is hung under the cornices on both sides above the gate. Above the gate is led's billboard, which glitters with four big words "Dezhuang hot pot" on a red background and silver edge.
When getting off the bus, Yan Kuan enthusiastically introduced the origin of this hot pot shop to Li Tianyu and others. It is said to be a large chain hot pot brand in Chongqing.
If you want to eat hot pot, you must try Chongqing hot pot.
After entering the store, the seat was an elegant room that had been reserved for a long time. On the second floor, the private room was decorated quite chicly. The hot pot was soon brought up. All kinds of dishes were ordered by Yan Kuan after asking Xu nianyi and Li Tianyu.
Li Tianyu never paid attention to eating. He didn't often eat hot pot, especially when he lived with Xu nianyi in the United States for a year. At that time, considering Xu nianyi's physical reasons, his eating taste was much lighter. He hadn't eaten such spicy and greasy food for a long time.
To his surprise, Xu nianyi could eat spicy food. In his impression, she never ate such spicy food, but now she eats spicy food, and Yan Kuan knows this.
He knew that Xu Nian and Yan Kuan were unprepared and had always regarded them as friends, but when did the relationship between them become so good?
Li Tianyu pursed his lips slightly and secretly feigned that Yan Kuan was not a good kind. Should he find an opportunity to remind him again and keep a certain distance from Yan Kuan.
Thinking, the mandarin duck pot on the table has boiled.
Yan Kuan, considering that Li Tianyu seldom eats spicy food, not to mention restarting the spicy and greasy soup bottom like hot pot, asked the waiter to replace the Jiugongge pot with an ordinary mandarin duck pot.
Li Tianyu's mind was not on the table. He was not interested in the steamed shrimp balls rolling in the pot and didn't want to add dishes. Yan Kuan, as the host of the treat, naturally undertook the task of activating the atmosphere, stood up and leaned over to get busy during the dinner.
During the banquet, Yan Kuan always had an atmosphere in the active box. He talked about the local customs here from the recent weather changes, but he didn't mention anything about Shaojun. It seems that he knows nothing about Shaojun's current plight in prison.
Li Tianyu was very silent. Most of them were silently eating the shrimp floating in the pot.
Xu nianyi didn't have such a good concentration. Halfway through the meal, she couldn't help putting down her chopsticks and looking at Yan Kuan's harmless face. The smile around her mouth was mixed with questions: "Yan Kuan."
"Hmm?" Yan Kuan, with a good temper, raised his head and looked at Xu nianyi, with a good-looking smile at the corners of his mouth.
"Well, Shaojun company has had some problems these two days. Have you heard about it?"
"I've heard of it, but I'm sure I can deal with it quickly with my eldest brother's ability. I believe my eldest brother." Yan Kuan smiled and spoke in a particularly serious tone. "From small to large, eldest brother is my idol, and I'm learning a lot from him."
"Aren't you jealous of Shao Jun's success in business?"
When Xu Nian was about to speak, Li Tianyu, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth. The eagle's eyes were cold, staring at Yan Kuan, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked like a smile. It looks like a joke, but it has other meanings when you listen carefully.
I didn't expect that Li Tianyu would suddenly say such a sentence at dinner. Xu nianyi was stunned, but he quickly reacted and raised his smile to make it through. But as soon as his mouth opened, Yan Kuan answered in a very serious tone, "jealous."
Finally, before the two people on the opposite side reacted, he added another sentence, "This is really true. Having such an excellent eldest brother can make a career when he leaves home when he is young, so that my father can treat him differently. How can I not envy and envy him. But I admire and yearn more for my eldest brother, and I really want to be like him. This is also the source of my motivation. With my eldest brother as an example, I didn't become a rich second generation who didn't work hard."
Li Tianyu's mouth opened wider: "you are very frank. I thought you would deny it."
"I've always been honest with others." Yan Kuan whispered, smiling. At the same time, he didn't forget to pick up a pot of freshly squeezed juice on the table and fill the cup for Xu nianyi and Li Tianyu. "Take your time, guys. It's not enough for us to order. We can have a rest at the old house after dinner."
"OK." Xu Nian nodded politely and sighed with relief. Fortunately, the topic just now didn't make trouble. Both sides were unhappy. Otherwise, the old house won't be used at the end of the meal.
Half an hour later, the hot pot was over.
Sitting in Yan Kuan's car, the party returned to the old house they had been away for a long time.
After stepping into the old house, before entering the gate of the main building, Yan Kuan's mother Ji Zhen was seen standing gracefully on the platform under the porch of the main building to meet them. As soon as she saw them get off the car, Ji Zhen had stepped down the stairs and greeted them with affinity: "Read it. I haven't seen you for a long time. I saw you this time, but there are too many things going on in the family. Your uncle is him..."
Ji Zhen said this, her tone slowed down and her voice began to choke.
