Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 302 Late Night Snack
Lu Yao had to admit that the Guoan staff were doing a meticulous job.

Because when he went to the hospital to have blood drawn, the blood drawn was from the vein in the instep of his foot.

If he pulled his arm, Lu Yao would have to worry about whether the female spy leader would become suspicious if he went to see her with a needle hole in his arm.

After the blood test, he didn’t ask any more questions. He just sent a message to Zheng Xiaofan saying that he was done, and then went straight to the second MIXX store.

To be honest, no matter whether MIXX is run by Luo Xuewei or Daewoo, their nightclub business is indeed good. When Lu Yao arrived, it was already past 1 o'clock, and the entrance of the second store was still lined with luxury cars.

And when you walk in, there are really a lot of people.

It’s just that… the air was turbid, with a mixture of cigarette, alcohol and perfume that made his nose a little itchy.

This is actually why he doesn't like to go to nightclubs. Although his nose is not as sensitive as those so-called perfumers, it is still quite sharp. So he feels very uncomfortable when he smells this smell. It is really too stimulating to the senses.

After taking a few steps forward, he finally backed out.

No, this smell is a bit strong. Normally it's fine, but the problem is that he just woke up from a hangover and was feeling uncomfortable, so he couldn't stand the smell again.

After walking out again, he returned to the car and sent a message to Luo Xuewei:
"I'm here, but I'm not going in. The smell in there is too bad. I'm going back to the car."

"Okay, then wait for me for 20 minutes."

"Ah."

Lu Yao waited patiently. About twenty minutes later, he saw Luo Xuewei, who seemed to have changed her clothes, walking towards him.

After opening the car door, she got in directly, bringing with her a scent of fragrance.

"…Did you take a shower?"

Lu Yao asked subconsciously.

"Ah."

Luo Xuewei nodded:

"I wanted to come to you directly, but I've been here for a long time. You can't stand the smell of the bar, and you probably can't stand it on me, so I took a shower temporarily."

Lu Yao looked at her bare face and thought to himself, you are quite considerate.

So I took the initiative to ask:

"are you hungry?"

"Does this mean my dinner has become a midnight snack?"

Lu Yao didn't say anything and started the car.

From leaving the bar to waiting for the traffic light... the atmosphere in the car was very silent.

Lu Yao was curious about how she would start the conversation, and Luo Xuewei... seemed to be waiting for him to start the conversation.

After all, the two of them have to have a good chat about what happened today.

After passing another traffic light, Luo Xuewei suddenly spoke:
"I heard from Elena that you took her to a great seafood hotpot restaurant. It was made with white rice porridge."

Lu Yao immediately knew which one she was talking about.

When he first met Shen Wan, he sent Shen Wan home for the first time and they ate a porridge-based hotpot not far from Tiangong-1.

Delicious and inexpensive, economical and affordable.

So he nodded:
"Well, let's go to his house to eat?"

"Let's go. You took her there but never took me. Can I understand that you are partial?"

"Uh……"

Hearing this, Lu Yao shook his head awkwardly:

"Then go ahead. What's the point of being partial..."

Luo Xuewei didn't say anything else.

The atmosphere became quiet again.

After passing another traffic light, she took the initiative to ask again:
"What time did you wake up?"

"Hurry up... When did you leave?"

"Me? ... I probably slept until almost 9pm. Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I didn't disturb you."

"..."

"..."

Lu Yao couldn't help but glance at the co-pilot.

Although the female spy chief had already taken a shower, the black dress under her windbreaker and a pair of thick stockings and high heels made her look like a dark purple rose in the night.

Charming, elegant, and a bit mysterious.

He took a look and then looked away.

keep going.

But this time he took the initiative.

"us……"

"Let's eat first. I'm hungry. Have you eaten since you woke up?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the other party.

Lu Yao was startled and shook his head subconsciously:

"No."

"...So you haven't eaten anything since noon?"

"Didn't we eat something when we were drinking?"

"Of course that doesn't count."

"Okay, then eat more later."

"Ah."

“I see business is pretty good?”

"It's OK. It's actually a little lower than the old store. But it's still on par."

"By the way, has the old store made its money back now?"

"Not yet, but probably in the second half of this year."

"oh oh……"

The two began to chat about what happened at the nightclub, and soon, the Land Rover arrived at this Guangdong Hotpot restaurant in the night of Shanghai.

The business of this store is still good, and there are quite a lot of customers in the store at the moment.

After the waiter found a table for the two of them, Lu Yao didn't hesitate and took the menu directly.

I ordered a Qingyuan chicken porridge base first, and then asked:

"You're going to choose seafood?"

"Row."

Luo Xuewei took the menu, followed the waiter and walked towards the seafood area.

He came back in less than five minutes, and the waiter followed him with a bottle of wine.

Lu Yao took a look and his mouth twitched.

Zhangyu brand's gold medal brandy.

To be honest, he had seen this wine before, and it was not expensive, only 30 to 50 yuan a bottle. But it was mostly sold in Guangdong and Cantonese restaurants, and considering that this restaurant was a Guangdong restaurant, it was normal.

only……

"Still drinking?"

"How can we eat this kind of meal without drinking?"

She looked at him with a look that said "you're weird", then unscrewed the bottle, poured half a cup for Lu Yao, and then poured herself a full cup.

Lu Yao looked worried:
"I really can't drink anymore."

"No wine, no feast; no fish, no banquet. Don't you know this saying?"

"……Fine."

Lu Yao sighed helplessly and said subconsciously:
"No wonder Natalia told me... that you rinse your mouth with whiskey. I've learned something new."

"Did you call her?"

"Uh... um."

Lu Yao nodded slightly:

"After I woke up, I saw the missed call and called. Didn't you answer one for me?"

Luo Xuewei pursed her lips slightly.

Seems a little uncomfortable.

So he picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then continued:

"I was woken up by her phone call."

"..."

Revisited.

The wine is on the table.

Lu Yao estimated in his heart...it was about to begin.

Just as I was thinking about what to say, I suddenly heard her say:

"In fact, Natalia is a very simple person."

After taking a sip of wine, the woman's aura seemed to change.

The dominance is gone, and instead a kind of charm is emerging.

However... compared to Hu Li's natural charm, it's nothing.

Seeing Lu Yao's inquiring eyes, she shrugged:

"We have known each other since childhood, so... I think I know her better than you do. Has she told you about her past?"

"…What aspects?"

"Well, let's put it this way, your girlfriend, in London, changes boyfriends like changing clothes."

As she spoke, she waved her hand to stop Lu Yao from answering, and then continued:

"But it's not like she's a playboy or anything like that. Quite the contrary, she's a very conservative girl. And her boyfriends, rather than being lovers, seem more like a bunch of poor bastards who are being played around by her, in my opinion."

"Uh……"

"Her indifference to relationships between men and women once made me think she was born that way. She was afraid of having any intimate interactions with anyone, and would never let herself lose the initiative in a relationship. And once she found that those so-called boyfriends were dependent on her, or had other feelings for her, she would withdraw in time. So, she was actually notoriously difficult to deal with there. She might be saying sweet words to you the previous second, but the next second you said something she didn't like to hear, which made her unhappy, and then they would break up... Really, I have seen it many times with my own eyes."

"...Well, then what?"

"And then…she met you. Everything changed."

At this time, the waiter came over with the pot bottom.

Luo Xuewei stopped talking at the right time.

He picked up the wine glass and took another sip, but did not urge Lu Yao to drink.

After taking a sip, he waited for the waiter to leave before continuing:
"She is like a pure white sheet of paper in front of you. She believes everything you say. I have never seen her treat other "boyfriends" like this. God... It's incredible. How did you get into her heart?"

"Uh……"

Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, facing her curious gaze, thought for a moment, and suddenly shrugged:

"You know, just...be yourself. KEEP REAL."

"..."

Luo Xuewei rolled her eyes, obviously not agreeing with what he said.

But he didn't mean to continue asking, he just said:

"I never thought I was going to hurt her."

Staring seriously into Lu Yao's eyes, she said without the slightest hesitation:

"Not once."

"..."

In Lu Yao's silence, she continued:
"So, we just made a mistake today. We won't have a future, and nothing will happen anymore. After tonight, we'll forget everything, OK?"

To be honest, Lu Yao was a little confused.

I can't quite keep up with her pace.

Because in his imagination, shouldn't the female spy chief... be more ambiguous with him, and then the two of them maintain a tacit understanding?

It’s the same routine as pink hair.

But why did he suddenly become so determined now?

He was puzzled.

And instinctively, he tried to say something. But when he saw that he was about to speak, Luo Xuewei interrupted him again:

"Promise me, Lu Yao, okay? We're still friends... You were drunk and just mistook me for Natalia."

"..."

Lu Yao thought to himself, are you worthy?
But at this moment, his thoughts were indeed unable to keep up with the other party's conversation pace.

It feels a bit like being led by the nose.

Just then, the waiter came over with a few iron plates.

Half a portion of Qingyuan chicken is used as the soup base and is put directly into the pot.

At the same time, various seafood were brought up from the cart.

The serving of the food interrupted their conversation.

The waiter didn't leave until the lid of the clay pot was put back on.

“It looks pretty good.”

Luo Xuewei said with a smile.

It was as if the conversation just now no longer existed.

Lu Yao asked subconsciously:

"Should we call Alice over?"

He was just being polite, but Luo Xuewei was stunned.

After a glimmer of hidden light flashed in his eyes, he asked:

"Are you interested in her?"

“…No, no.”

Lu Yao quickly shook his head.

I couldn't help but complain:
"Do I look like that kind of person?"

"..."

Luo Xuewei's mouth twitched...

Although everything she did tonight was purposeful, after hearing Lu Yao's shameless words, she couldn't help but complain:
"Are you serious?"

"..."

Lu Yao actually felt guilty after saying this.

I couldn't help but pick up the glass:

"Come on, come on, drink."

"...ha~"

The female spy chief chuckled and clinked her cup with his.

"cheers."

After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass.

Lu Yao's mouth twitched, and as he looked at her drinking the whole cup, he asked speechlessly:

"Dry?"

"up to you."

She didn't force it.

But when Lu Yao looked at her empty cup, she didn't know what to do for a moment.

But... generally speaking, men are more likely to make mistakes after drinking.

Besides, during today's meal, the pace of the conversation was no longer on my side, and I had no idea what the other party was up to.

If it really doesn't work... just use being drunk as an excuse, close your eyes and go to sleep, right?
Thinking of this, he made up his mind.

Take two sips of the cup and tilt your head back.

One or two glasses of brandy, drink it all in one gulp.

“Tsk…ha…”

The alcohol made him grimace.

Facing Luo Xuewei's surprised gaze, he said:

"Can't we drink it slowly?"

"…I told you to drink slowly, why are you drinking so fast?"

"You've already toasted, how can I not?"

"..."

Luo Xuewei was speechless for a while, but after thinking about it, she picked up the bottle:

"How about some more?"

"You pour it, I'll go get some cold dishes... drinking on an empty stomach is too stimulating."

Soon, two plates of cold dishes were served, accompanied by hot steam coming out of the vents, and the midnight snack began.

……

I have to admit that the hot pot here tastes really good.

Especially on a night like this which still has a bit of spring chill.

The steaming pot, the brandy, and the lively atmosphere...it's easy to infect diners here, making them drunk without realizing it, until daybreak.

Before I knew it, the first bottle of brandy was empty.

"... Another bottle?"

The woman, with slightly red cheeks, asked the drunken man opposite her.

Lu Yao was indeed drunk at this moment.

That one glass of wine on an empty stomach made him drunk faster than ever before.

But this time he didn't refuse.

Luo Xuewei waved, and soon another bottle of brandy came over. Seeing this, Lu Yao instinctively wanted to cover the cup... but the constant psychological preparation still stopped him from thinking.

He let the other person pour him another half cup.

"Well, the oysters are ready, you can eat them."

Lu Yao used a colander to help her scoop out two snow-white oysters.

Luo Xuewei glanced at him and said with a smile:

"Shouldn't you eat it?"

"? Why? I have it."

"I mean you should eat more..."

She laughed somewhat impudently and said:
"You need to make up for it after all."

"Uh……"

Lu Yao opened his mouth.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked:
"You mean... I behaved badly?"

"..."

The woman was speechless.

But the heat and alcohol finally made the blush cling to her cheeks and it could never be removed.

She glanced at Lu Yao with eyes as clear as water and shook her head slightly:

"No... you're awesome. Even when you're that drunk, you're still awesome."

As she spoke, she picked up the wine glass and handed it to Lu Yao:
"To be honest, both the skills and the endurance... make me... intoxicated."

The ambiguity suddenly rose.

But Lu Yao staggered up the glass and laughed:
"That means I don't need to eat oysters, hehe."

"..."

Luo Xuewei's mouth twitched.

Looking at the man with the silly smile, she seemed speechless and a little embarrassed.

But...her clear eyes could tell that Lu Yao was drunk again.

It’s good to be drunk.

That's enough.

We can't let him drink any more.

If he drinks until he passes out, things will get difficult.

So, she directly pressed down Lu Yao's glass:

"Don't drink anymore, just be a little tipsy. You still have to take me back later."

"……what?"

Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head:

"I don't drive after drinking. No, no, no, no..."

"…I meant to call a designated driver."

"Oh, good."

He put down the cup as he was advised, lowered his head and started eating.

And Luo Xuewei stopped drinking.

The bottle of wine that had just been opened, like the topic just now, seemed to have been forgotten.

After the two of them finished eating the seafood and chicken in the pot, Lu Yao was already staggering.

Luo Xuewei paid the bill directly, supported Lu Yao, and the two walked out of the restaurant together.

As soon as she went out, she saw a person wearing reflective clothing.

After the man nodded slightly to her, Luo Xuewei felt relieved and waved:
"Designated driver."

……

"Lu Yao, we're here."

"……Well."

Lu Yao, who was sitting in the back seat, opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar parking lot:
"Where is this?"

“…the hotel’s parking lot.”

"Oh, then..."

Before he could finish his words, suddenly, the royal sister kissed him directly.

"!"

Lu Yao instinctively pushed her away:

"you……"

"..."

Luo Xuewei was speechless, but the faint light from the parking lot shone through the car window.

It lit up her fiery eyes.

"After tonight, we'll forget everything. You promised me, didn't you?"

Hearing this, Lu Yao nodded subconsciously.

Then, he saw the actions of the female spy chief.

She looked down at her watch.

"It's 2:56 now..."

The subtext speaks for itself.

He finally understood what the female spy chief was trying to do, and like a man who couldn't resist temptation, he suddenly hugged her.

Kissed her hard.

And this time, he was more proactive than Luo Xuewei.

Alcohol, oysters, heat, ambiguity, and the taste of the food that I just met...

Enough for two people to spend a long night.
