Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 23: Pale Face and Hot

"Didn't I ask you to go back first?"

He just got on the bus when he heard these words.

After wiping his face with rain water, Lu Yao's mind gradually became clear.

Hearing this, he thought for a moment and said:

"It's raining heavily, I'm afraid you can't use the car."

"Ha~"

The Queen of the Sea chuckled.

Her expression became more charming.

"Sister Li, shall I take you back to the hotel?"

"Well……"

The Queen thought about it, but suddenly shook her head:
"I want to go shopping. Let's go to Hang Lung."

"Ok."

Hang Lung Plaza, one of the best shopping malls in Shanghai.

"Lu Yao."

"Eh...huh?"

Lu Yao, who responded instinctively, was stunned.

This was the first time that the Queen called him by his name instead of "Xiaolu".

Seeing his surprised look, the Queen of the Sea smiled and shrugged:

"Your name is quite nice. "Ordinary World"..."

"I can't compare with this great writer."

"You're much more handsome than him."

"Uh……"

Lu Yao thought, how can this be compared?

At this time, the Queen continued:
"Can you eat spicy food?"

"…It's OK. I quite like Sichuan cuisine."

In his previous life, he spent many years in Sichuan and Chongqing, and could almost be said to be half Sichuanese.

The spiciness of Sichuan cuisine is no longer judged simply by the spiciness. Instead, you can taste the spiciness of the chili paste, whether it is fragrant, and how good the chili pepper is after taking a bite...

I’m not a gourmet, but once you get used to living in a place, you will naturally bear its mark.

After hearing this, the Queen of the Sea said directly:
"Shall we have hotpot tonight?"

"……what?"

Lu Yao was stunned again.

Is this calling me to have dinner together?
This……

Although what he wanted most now was to go home and sleep, he still nodded:

"Ok."

"Well, the hotpot restaurant above Henglong is very spicy, so be prepared."

It seems that it was solved directly in the mall.

Lu Yao smiled and said:

"Okay, I will definitely sacrifice my life to accompany you."

Hu Li also smiled, then lowered his head and opened his mobile phone, which was twitching with messages, and no one knew who he was sending them to.

"Sister Li, do you want to listen to some music?"

"it is good."

Soon, music started playing in the X6.

……

The traffic in Shanghai is very congested during rush hour at night, but there is order in the congestion.

I picked him up at around five o'clock, and when I arrived at Plaza 66, it was already past six o'clock.

Lu Yao thought she would go straight to eat, but she didn't.

After parking the car, the two went straight into the mall.

Lu Yao has a clear understanding of his own positioning.

The driver, carrying the bag, moves forward with the heavy load.

After entering the mall, the first thing Hu Li did was to go to the basement floor and wait in line with Lu Yao to buy two drinks.

She was drinking an iced Americano.

For his own sleep, Lu Yao just asked for a cup of lemon tea.

Holding a glass of lemon tea, he followed Hu Li.

Hu Li’s goal was to go straight to the first floor.

The first floor is filled with luxury goods counters, which Lu Yao thinks are very suitable for her net worth.

After all, his pocket money is over 100 million...

It’s really exaggerated when you think about it.

How rich must her family be to be able to support her spending like this?
Sure enough, after the two went up to the first floor, Hu Li’s first target was the Hermes at the elevator entrance.

The salesgirl at Hermès who was serving customers seemed to know Hu Li.

The moment he saw her, those eyes... in Lu Yao's eyes were like Ultraman.

The light came on directly.

"Sister, you're here. I haven't seen you for a long time. Jesse, go get two bottles of water..."

"Ah."

Hu Li nodded, but his reaction was calm.

He took Lu Yao and walked straight in.

"Sister, we just received a few bags today..."

The salesgirl was so attentive, but Hu Li's reaction was still indifferent. She didn't even linger in the luggage area, but went straight into the ready-made clothing area.

On the left is the men's ready-to-wear section, and on the right is the women's.

The salesgirl instinctively walked to the right, but saw the God of Wealth walking to the left.

Lu Yao, on the other hand, played the role of "assistant" very honestly, standing there, and doing nothing but smiling politely at the salesgirl. As a result, after Hu Li looked around the men's clothing area, he began to point fingers.

"This one, this one, this one..."

She pointed seven or eight times, and the salesgirl nodded seven or eight times.

Then, Hu Li pointed at Lu Yao behind him:

"Take his size."

I said this to the salesgirl.

Then she said to Lu Yao:

"Go and try changing it, it should suit you well."

"...???"

Lu Yao was stunned.

Both of his eyes were a little straight, and he subconsciously pointed his fingers at himself.

That means:

"I?"

Hu Li nodded:
"Go and change."

"Sister Li..."

"Go quickly."

Lu Yao wanted to say something, but Hu Li didn't give him a chance and just waved his hand.

"Jesse, take the gentleman to the fitting room."

The salesgirl also spoke, and then climbed up the pole:

"Sister Li, your vision is as good as ever..."

"..."

Hu Li glanced at her and didn't respond.

Then continue to go around in circles.

Lu Yao was speechless as he was led to the door of the fitting room by the young salesgirl in front of him and a black shirt was stuffed into his hand.

"Sir, please try this one first, and I'll get the others for you."

"..."

Lu Yao looked down at the shirt in his hand.

It's black.

No decorations, no stripes or anything like that.

Just an ordinary shirt.

The price on the collar tag is 13850...

He recognized the brand value of goods, but these luxury goods that were beyond his price range still made him feel like his IQ was being rubbed.

But he still walked into the fitting room.

Soon, black replaced white.

When he opened the door and walked out, Jesse was already waiting for him with a pile of clothes. Hu Li and the salesgirl were standing beside him.

Hu Li looked Lu Yao up and down and said with a smile:

"I just realized that you have very broad shoulders, a typical clothes hanger."

"Indeed, Sister Li has good taste. This gentleman has a great figure..."

As soon as the salesgirl spoke, Hu Li glanced at her again.

The sound stopped suddenly.

So, the Queen of the Sea sipped the straw with her red lips:
"Try putting these pants on again."

"……OK."

Lu Yao went into the fitting room again, holding a pair worth 18,000 yuan.

Next is a pair of shoes that cost nine thousand.

Then, another short-sleeved shirt for six thousand six.

Another pair for 7500. Another pair for 9300.

again……

pair……

Three again.

Four and...

When Lu Yao himself was getting a little impatient, Hu Li nodded:
"Well, wrap them all up."

"Sister Li, don't!"

Lu Yao stopped it immediately.

Although he had begun to feel numb, he still remembered the approximate prices of the ten or so pieces of clothing he had handled.

The average price is at least around 10,000.

He changed more than ten pieces, and Queen Hai wants them all?

This is too much credit, he cannot bear it.

But when Hu Li heard this, his face became tense:

"Then I throw it away?"

"..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched.

Then...the sister handed the card to the salesgirl.

"Put everything that can be stuffed together. I'm too lazy to carry so many boxes. Send it to Versace for me after you finish it."

Only then did Lu Yao realize that what she was holding was not a credit card, but a shopping card from the mall.

After she finished speaking, she pursed her lips at Lu Yao:

"This one looks nice, wear it first. Your shirt is wet and uncomfortable to wear. Let's go~"

Then he walked towards the exit on his own.

Lu Yao really had to keep up.

Because the way the people around him looked at him was obviously a little strange.

After walking out of the store, Lu Yao quickly stepped forward and said:

"Sister Li, this... is really not suitable. This dress is too expensive..."

"Will you have dinner with me later?"

Faced with his embarrassment, the Queen of the Sea asked back with a smile.

"Aren't these two next to each other?"

"No, stay next to me. You can treat me to the meal later."

"..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched.

But the rich woman smiled even more brightly:

"You know what, it's quite pleasing to watch you try on clothes. Let's go... Versace's clothes are beautiful and more suitable for you."

"But you can't buy it like this..."

"Well, then buy less."

"That's not what I meant..."

"Okay, stop nagging. I'm in a bad mood today. Let me vent."

"..."

Lu Yao was speechless for a moment.

then……

Four thousand, eleven thousand, seven thousand, Armani, LV, Valentino...

Midway through, Lu Yao struggled again:

"Sister Li, if you buy more, my closet really can't hold any more..."

"Can the closet still fit?"

The rich woman said something in a "are you kidding me" tone that almost gave Lu Yao a myocardial infarction.

No, sis.

Do you have any misunderstandings about wardrobes?
Is the wardrobe we are talking about the same thing?

Something like a wardrobe...a rectangular shape with a layer on top for bedding, a few clothes hung in the middle, folded pants placed under the clothes, some seasonal clothes stuffed in the squares at the bottom, and drawers for underpants and socks.

It should be... like this, right?

Isn't your wardrobe?
And finally... when Lu Yao desperately stopped her from buying herself that Rolex, the shopping trip finally ended.

Hu Li was still not satisfied.

Lu Yao was disheveled in the air-conditioning wind.

The Hermès store is already filled with shopping bags from various competitors.

"Give them the key, tell them the parking space number, and let's go eat hotpot. It's your treat!"

"..."

Lu Yao said nothing and obediently handed over the key.

When he walked over, the salesgirl, Jesse, and a guy holding a luggage cart looked at Lu Yao with eyes that could not be described as strange.

The emotions run the gamut.

Especially that dude.

The look in Lu Yao's eyes seemed to say:

"There are three thousand great ways. Congratulations, brother, you have been the master of the way of the pretty boy for eternity and have become the Emperor of Heaven."

Lu Yao was no longer able to respond.

……

The hot pot restaurant was bustling with people.

However, Hu Li's appearance still attracted a lot of people's attention.

And the rich woman has become accustomed to it.

He sat on the small stool and said the first words:

“Very spicy.”

After saying that, he took the menu and started ordering.

Lu Yao can certainly afford hotpot.

It's just that I feel a little bit uneasy at the moment.

But the rich woman ordered the dishes very quickly, and after ordering, she handed them to Lu Yao:
"Look at what you want to eat."

Lu Yao took a look at the items on the menu and found that... the rich woman was quite good at ordering.

Rocket squid, blood sausage, tripe, bean sprouts, tender meat slices...I didn't even look at the "Inner Mongolian lamb" recommended on the menu.

You know what, he is an expert.

He symbolically added a piece of vine vegetable and asked the waiter to place the order.

After the waiter left, Lu Yao said:

"Sister Li, today..."

"Okay."

As if he had guessed what he was going to say, Hu Li waved his hand:

"Eat well. Let's go and prepare the saucepan."

"……it is good."

Lu Yao followed her to the seasoning table.

When I came back, the pot was already cooked.

Lu Yao didn't feel anything special about the hill of butter and red pepper.

I was used to living in Sichuan and Chongqing in my previous life. The locals all started with very spicy food. Sometimes I felt that the soup base was not flavorful enough and I would take the initiative to tell the boss to bring a ladle of soup base to make it more spicy.

On the contrary, Hu Li was drooling as he looked at the bottom of the pot that had not yet boiled.

"Xiaochu can't eat spicy food, you know that?"

"Uh……"

"We go out to eat hotpot, so I have to accommodate her and order a 2-in-1 hotpot."

“Actually, I can eat spicy food.”

"...?"

There is nothing wrong with the previous statement.

But this last sentence sounded a little confusing to Lu Yao.

Why do I always feel that rich women feel guilty?

Then...

"Sigh~"

"what……"

"Chichi."

Lu Yao looked at the sea and saw that the tip of her nose started to turn red and she was sweating profusely, especially her red lips that seemed to be so pleasing to the eye that one could not wait to bite them and were showing some signs of swelling. He thought to himself, this is just bean sprouts, sister.

You're already like this when it comes to bean sprouts, and you still say you can eat spicy food?

Chang Wei, it seems like you really don’t know any martial arts.

"Sister Li, how about a slightly spicy version?"

"Hiss...it's okay, the spiciness is just right."

Lu Yao thought to himself, you just keep talking tough.

Your eyes are red... huh?

Suddenly, he realized something was wrong.

But the Queen Mother refused to change the base of the pot and picked up another piece of bean sprouts with chopsticks.

After putting it into his mouth, he started to sizzle.

Then, she put down her chopsticks, picked up a tissue, wiped her eyes, and saw Lu Yao looking at her, and smiled slightly:
"I eat spicy food like this... hehe."

She smiled happily.

It's like really enjoying this spicy delicacy.
