Chapter 135 - Celebration
"Is the matter settled?" Li Xiang asked in concern.
Wen Jing nodded and smiled brightly at Li Xiang. "Thank you for supporting me from behind. If not for you, I wouldn't even know how to persevere."
Li Xiang caressed Wen Jing's hair and felt that it was very soft, "You are our friend, the one who does not help you. Mo Fei just called us, we will hold a celebration for you. "
Wen Jing smiled and nodded. However, a trace of gloom flashed across her heart. Could it be that we're just friends?
"Let's go. I'll go drive. We'll go together." Li Xiang said.
When they reached the agreed upon restaurant, Li Xiang realised that it was a hot pot restaurant, he never thought that Mo Fei would choose this place, he thought that Mo Fei would find a high-end western restaurant. He looked at the suit he was wearing and thought that it would be more convenient if he did not change his clothes.
Since when did she start to have this kind of kinship style? I never heard that Mo Fei likes to eat hotpot before, so Li Xiang walked into the hotpot restaurant filled with suspicion.
Just after entering, a waitress came over, "May I ask if mister has an appointment? "If you don't have an appointment, I'm sorry, but our shop is already full."
A hotpot restaurant was actually filled to the brim, to what extent was this shop going to get popular? The shop that Mo Fei chose was really good.
"Let's look for Miss Mo. We came together." Li Xiang retracted his gaze and said slowly.
Hearing Li Xiang's name, the female attendant's eyes lit up, and her voice became more cheerful: "So it's Miss Mo's friend. Miss Mo has been here for a long time, please come over here."
The waitress brought the two into the innermost room. When they reached the door, she lightly knocked on it. A cold voice came from the inside, "Come in."
Li Xiang pushed open the door, and the two of them walked in. Could it be that they saw them entering, and then ordered the servants at the door: "We can go now."
Li Xiang sat down and looked at Mo Fei suspiciously: "I thought that we would be going to a high class dining hall to eat. When I got off the car, I was lucky that I didn't change out of my suit, who knows." Li Xiang looked at the quiet environment around him. "However, this is not worse than a high class restaurant."
Wen Jing also looked around. "I've never come to this place to eat before. The environment here seems pretty good." She believed in Mo Fei's judgement.
"I've always had good eyes, this is recommended by a client of mine. Of course we have to come to such a lively place to celebrate. If we go to those high class restaurants and the noise is a bit loud, someone will come to complain to us." Mo Fei explained.
Mo Fei would never have come to this kind of place to eat before. The places she would go to the most often were those places that required a lot of attention and etiquette. Although they went to a restaurant that no one else had ever been able to reach in their entire lives, there was still a sadness that they could not imagine.
Maybe because he had been with Li Xiang for a long time, he really wanted to experience a different life, eat different food, go to a different restaurant, and see a different person.
However, she would definitely not tell Li Xiang all of this. If he knew that his arrival had brought about such a huge impact, he would definitely be slapped on her proud face again.
Another knock on the door rang out. A few waiters came over with plates filled with fresh vegetables and meat. It looked pretty good.
"The dishes have already been served. If you need anything, you can call us." The waiter said respectfully.
Mo Fei waved her hand, and the waiters left.
It had been a long time since he had a hotpot himself. Thinking back to the last time he had eaten hotpot with the other men in the army, but now, it was with two beautiful women. He couldn't help but sigh that life and fate were really strange things. You would never know what your fate would be in the next second.
"Hurry up and put the meat in. I want to eat the lamb, lamb and hotpot are the most suitable." Li Xiang said loudly, the expression on his face was extremely happy.
Mo Fei glared at him with her beautiful eyes, signalling him to be quiet. Haven't you eaten hotpot before? Li Xiang ignored her actions and placed the lamb in front of her into the pot.
"Li Xiang, calm down. Haven't you eaten a hotpot in eight hundred years!"
Mo Fei smacked Li Xiang's head with a pair of chopsticks. Li Xiang wailed, covering his head with his hands, as if he was in pain. He looked at Mo Fei aggrievedly, as if he was blaming her for hitting him too hard.
Mo Fei would not easily fall for such a light trick. To be in such a painful state, she must have been lying to him.
Seeing that Mo Fei did not react, and did not bother to continue acting, Li Xiang found the lamb to be almost edible, "It's been a long time since I've had a proper meal on the mutton, the last time I ate the mutton was during my mission. That was a difficult mission, and it was possible that she wouldn't be able to return, so she had a hot pot with her brothers for the last time. We all cherish that time, and only five people came back alive. "
Mo Fei heard and did not speak anymore. She did not think that Li Xiang still had such sad memories, in his eyes, Li Xiang was forever smiling as if nothing could make him sad. Mo Fei suddenly realized that he had only hidden his sorrow deep in her heart, preventing others from seeing through it.
Seeing that Mo Fei and Wen Jing were silent, Li Xiang laughed out loud instead. "I'm lying to you, look at how silent you are, I'll make up a story for you to hear."
A voice emerged from the minds of Mo Fei and Wen Jing. "So it's like that, this guy."
Mo Fei hatefully placed a piece of meat into the boiling hot pot. Without saying a word, she knew that Li Xiang would only say a few things to deceive her. Just now, Mo Fei had to admit that she felt sorry for Li Xiang.
No matter how much she resented her past life, and how often she showed it to others with a cold face, she had never experienced what Li Xiang had experienced.
As Li Xiang ate the delicious lamb, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He did not lie to Mo Fei and the others. When the instructor saw the contents of the task, his expression changed greatly. He knew that with his current strength, only by paying a certain number of casualties would he be able to return victorious.
Therefore, the instructor brought them to the hotpot restaurant and had a big meal. The teammates were eating and drinking to their heart's content, recklessly making a ruckus. This was the first time the instructor didn't scold them or stop them. Instead, he drank wine in silence, because he wanted to push his men into the abyss of death with his own hands.
When he came back, there were only five people left, ten left, and only half of them were left. This was the first time Li Xiang saw the instructor from the Northeast crying like this.
He had never told these things to anyone before. Some things only required him to know. Even if others knew, it would only add to his worries.
As Wen Jing ate the vegetables from her plate, she thought about something and thought about it. Finally, she said, "Now that things have been resolved, I've decided to move back home. I'll have to trouble Little Fei and Li Xiang for this period of time. "
Mo Fei was shocked, she anxiously looked at Wen Jing, "Why are you moving in, you can live with me, there's usually no one to accompany me."
I'm with you everyday, Li Xiang retorted silently in his heart.
Wen Jing seemed to consider for a long time, and her tone was firm. "Little Fei, I considered for a long time before deciding to move back. Dad is the only one in the family, no matter what he does, he's still my only family. "
Wen Jing forgave her father. She was willing to take care of him as long as he wanted. And now that her father was regretting it, she believed that her beautiful life was about to begin.
"Alright, since you want to take care of uncle, then I'll let you go." Mo Fei said regretfully, her expression a little gloomy.
Wen Jing chuckled. "Why do you look so bitter? I'm not going abroad. We're so close, so we can meet anytime."
Mo Fei's eyes lit up. She was overthinking it. After thinking it through, her smile returned as she happily ate the fresh vegetables on her plate.
Seeing the interaction between the two of them, Li Xiang only felt happy, as if it was a wondrous experience. The sea had been in the army for a long time and had not been touched by the scent of fire and smoke for a long time.
Li Xiang took the wine cup in front of him and stood up, then said to the two of them: "Come! Celebrating Wen Jing's success as chairman and fulfilling her mother's wish. "
Mo Fei and Wen Jing were also infected, they stood up together, raised the wine cup in their hands and shouted loudly: "Come!"
The three drank it all in one go. Wen Jing looked at the two people in front of her and felt her heart warm. "Thank you so much. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't even know what to do. I was probably still a person who was foolishly waiting for his father to turn around. "He doesn't know anything."
Mo Fei took out two pieces of paper and passed it to Wen Jing. She held her shoulders and consoled her, "Don't be sad, the matter has already been resolved. We should be happy today. Don't cry. "
Wen Jing raised her head and used a tissue to wipe the tears off her face. Seeing Mo Fei's worried look, her tears turned into smiles. Thank you, Mo Fei. "
"If you say it like that, then you're being too formal. We're good sisters."
"Don't cry anymore, the food in the pot is edible now. If you don't eat it, you'll rot inside."
Girls are really sentimental creatures, tears will never stop, strange, really strange. Regardless of whether the meat he cooked was cooked, or whether the delicious food could satisfy him, his taste buds suddenly opened.
When the meal ended, Li Xiang was actually in charge of eating most of the time, while the two girls were in charge of making trouble.
Today, Li Xiang found out that besides the fact that girls like to cry, there was also one more point, and that there would always be a topic to talk about.
Mo Fei and Wen Jing narrated the matters between the two of them since they were young, while laughing. From the interesting things from childhood and classmates to the strange people you meet after work.
After talking about everything that had nothing to do with them and Li Xiang, most of the meat and vegetables had already entered Li Xiang's stomach.
Mo Fei was reluctant, but she could not do anything about it. She could only board the carriage and leave.
