Chapter 45 Slightly Spicy

Chapter 45 Slightly Spicy
When Lu Yao returned home, no one was at home.

Lu Qing probably went out to play somewhere again, but it was strange that his dad wasn't at home.

He called and asked...It happened that his mother was off work today, so the two of them went to look for a restaurant to hold Lu Yao's graduation banquet.

Lu Yao carefully put the three lottery tickets into his schoolbag.

His family was small, so they couldn't keep any secrets. The only thing he wouldn't touch was his schoolbag.

safest.

He sat down at his desk, turned on his computer, and planned to revise his article for the school magazine. But he found that no matter what he did, he couldn't calm down.

From time to time, the corner of my eye would glance at the time in the lower right corner of the screen.

The game is 10 o'clock in the evening.

End of 90 minutes.

Maybe there will be a few more minutes of injury time...

In other words, the result will come out at 12 o'clock.

But...why does time go by so slowly?

Not long after, he stood up.

No, I can’t calm my mind at all.

At this time, Li Liwen made a phone call:
"Yaoyao, I've washed a batch. You can take it later. There's quite a lot."

"Okay, Aunt Li."

After thinking it over, Lu Yao changed into a 76ers uniform and walked out with a basketball and car keys.

I haven't exercised these few days, and my whole body is itchy.

It's just past 4 o'clock and still quite hot. There are not many people on the shabby basketball court in the community.

After he had done his warm-up preparations, he began to entertain himself.

The eighteen-year-old body is tireless, and his balance and coordination are first-rate.

Especially the shot after the butterfly step.

Everyone knows that AI (me) breaks through from the right hand, but you just can’t defend against it!

Sorry, Kobe, I will still be the most loyal believer of AI.

Mamba OUT.

The basketball skills he honed during the three years of junior high school, the three years of high school, during the lunch break, and before the evening self-study after school at 5 o'clock brought him an incomparable sense of satisfaction at this moment.

"Sa!"

He hit a fadeaway jumper that at least felt smooth to him.

The basketball went crisply into the iron net.

Unfortunately, no one around cheered for him, and only the ringing of the phone broke the silence.

It’s Hu Li calling.

Lu Yao was a little puzzled, wondering if she was not in Hokkaido?
Even if it is an international call, the incoming call should not be from this local number.

After answering the call with some confusion, the voice of the Queen of the Sea came from the other end:
"Lu Yao, come pick me up at the airport. If you don't come, I won't give you the gift I want to give you!"

"……what?"

Lu Yao was stunned:
"Airport?"

"Hmm... why are you panting so hard?... Oh, sorry, you go ahead."

Doodle.

The phone hangs up.

"...???"

Lu Yao thought to himself, how can you have such a dirty heart at such a young age... huh?

Suddenly realizing that the words sounded familiar, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.

He called Hu Li again.

Just connected...

"whee."

Now he was more certain that she did it on purpose, Lu Yao asked silently:
"Sister Li is back from Hokkaido?"

"Well, I'm at the airport now, and I have no relatives. I need you to take me home."

Lu Yao thought it would be better for you to go back to the hotel.

But he didn't refuse. After all, he had just received his salary today, and maybe it was arranged by his boss again.

"What time does the plane arrive?"

"...Didn't I make myself clear? I'm already in Shanghai. And I just rejected a handsome guy who tried to flirt with me on the plane. I want you to pick me up."

"..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched.

I thought to myself, why didn’t you inform me in advance?
He said helplessly:
"Okay, Sister Li, I'll come over after I change my clothes."

"Why do you need to change clothes?"

“Because I’m playing.”

"Yo? You can play basketball?"

Lu Yao thought to himself, what nonsense, I have been practicing for two and a half years.

Then I heard Hu Li continue:

"Well, you know what... I've been feeling pretty proud of being a sunny, athletic boy these past few days. Okay, don't change your clothes, just come pick me up now. It's so hot here at the airport, I'm tired of waiting, come quickly."

"……it is good."

After spending a few days together, Lu Yao knew that this sister was a person who would not go back on her word, so he had no choice but to walk towards the parking space with the basketball in his arms.

He quickly drove out of the community gate, stopped at Jie Xin Dry Cleaning, picked up the clothes, said "Auntie Li, we'll settle it together in the end", and headed straight for the airport.

Hu Li seemed really anxious.

Basically, a call will come in every five minutes.

"Where are you?"

"not yet?"

"Hurry up."

Just like the Death-Calling Lady.

Lu Yao hurried and finally arrived at the airport.

After communicating with Hu Li and getting the information of the "old location", he drove the car to the international arrival gate and saw Haihou sitting on the suitcase at a glance.

Logically speaking, if a person is in a hurry, he should get on the car as soon as possible after the car picks him up.

But she doesn't.

He sat on the suitcase and tilted his head to look at Lu Yao.

From the moment Lu Yao drove over, to the moment he parked the car, to the moment he got out of the car.

Finally, when she saw Lu Yao walking towards her in a vest and shorts, she narrowed her eyes and smiled.

Lu Yao said:

"Sister Li, I'll get the box, you get in the car."

But she didn't move.

He just sat on the suitcase and looked at Lu Yao with a smile.

"Sister Li?"

Hu Li did not respond, but asked with a smile:

"Do you like Iverson?"

"Uh...right."

As soon as Lu Yao agreed, the sister's expression changed and she became arrogant:
"Humph, we're defeated 4 to 1!"

"..."

have to.

This sister is a Lakers fan.

Lu Yao really wanted to say, "Sister, we are family, and I am also a snail shell." However, he had just sworn in the afternoon that he would never betray AI again.

Then, Hu Li stood up from the box, stretched out her hand, and a necklace fell from her hand:
"Tada~ Here, a gift for you."

On a black rope, a silver feather swayed in the wind.

"This is……"

"I bought it from Goro Takahashi."

Lu Yao had never heard of this person's name, so naturally he didn't react much.

After Hu Li stuffed the necklace into his hand, she opened the car door:
"Let's go. I've been waiting here for over an hour. I'm dying of heat."

"Ok."

Lu Yao did not refuse. He put the necklace in his pocket, put the box in the trunk, and got into the car.

"Sister Li, are we going to Marriott?"

"Yeah. Go change your clothes, and we'll find a place to eat something nice tonight...Are you good at basketball?"

She looked at Lu Yao and suddenly asked.

Lu Yao thought to himself, how should I answer this?

Kobe and I are evenly matched?

But Hu Li's brain circuit was faster than his:
"Let's go eat hot pot?"

"Uh..." "I've been eating too lightly these past few days. I want to eat something spicy!"

"..."

Lu Yao thought to himself, are you in a good mood or a bad mood?
If you are in a bad mood, just eat hotpot.

Do you want to eat it even if it’s good?

But no matter where she asked him to go, Lu Yao did not object and drove towards the city.

Hu Li called someone unknown.

It should be for a girl, but not Xu Ruochu.

The conversation on the phone was all about a certain dance school, such as which teacher was good, certification, etc...

We chatted all the way.

By the time we reached the city, it was already past 7 o'clock.

In the meantime, Lu Yuanshan called his son and after getting confirmation that he would not go back for dinner, he hung up without saying anything.

Finally, the car arrived at Marriott in traffic jam.

She got out of the car directly. Seeing this, Lu Yao also got out quickly, pulling the suitcase and followed her.

After arriving at the large suite, Hu Li took a few clothes from the closet and went into the house. When he came out again, he had changed into a sports outfit.

Still black.

Tight on top and loose on the bottom, it highlights the figure to the fullest.

You know what, she looks like a dance teacher.

"Let's go eat hot pot."

This hot pot restaurant is not far from Marriott, but it is not as authentic.

The decoration is high-end, and there are all kinds of seafood inside, which makes it look like a place for business banquets. And the food is served separately, not two people sharing one pot.

Hu Li did not choose to go to the private room. After finding a seat in the lobby, she waited for the waiter to bring the menu and handed it directly to Lu Yao:
"You order something else, I'll go check out the seafood."

Then he stood up and walked towards the aquarium.

After Lu Yao had eaten hotpot with her once, he actually had a rough idea of what she liked to eat.

High-fiber vegetables.

Pure meat.

I don't like eating things like fish, tofu, and sausages.

So he ordered a few items on the menu and handed it back to the waiter.

At this time, the waiter asked:
"Sir, I haven't chosen the base of the pot yet."

Seeing this, Lu Yao thought about it and chose two red oil hot pot bases.

But in the spiciness column, he thought for a moment and marked it as mildly spicy.

……

After Hu Li ordered the seafood, he returned to his seat. He did not ask Lu Yao what he ordered, but smiled and said:

"I felt bored staying there alone, so I came back. After thinking it over... I think it would be more comfortable to have dinner with you. Where's the necklace? Put it on and let me see it."

Lu Yao took it out of his pocket and put it around his neck.

He vaguely felt that the style of this necklace did not seem to be made by the Japanese, but rather was a bit similar to the Indian style.

Picking up the feather and taking a look at it, he asked tentatively:

"Is it silver jewelry?"

"Correct."

Now, Lu Yao felt more at ease.

It shouldn’t be too expensive.

laughed:

"Thank you, Sister Li. I like it very much."

"Well, it does look good on you. But this kind of clothes won't work. When you wear this, try to choose a plain T-shirt, pure black or pure white. It will look better this way."

"Okay... Sister Li, where should I take you later?"

"Well……"

Hu Li thought about it, tilted his head and looked at him:
"Shall we go play basketball?"

"……what?"

Lu Yao was stunned:
"we?"

"Yeah, I can play, too. Let's find a gym and play for a while, then I'll take you to a date. Do you like football?"

"……good."

"That's OK. There are a lot of people watching the game, and they just happened to call me. I think I'll have a drink. With you here, I feel at ease."

When the Queen of the Sea said these words with a smile, the charm began to spread again.

But Lu Yao felt at ease.

It's ok, being a driver is my job.

If I were to block the wine for you...then I can only say that we shouldn't block it either.

Die together.

At this time, the waiter brought the hot pot base and a plate of sashimi with an orange-red luster in the ice chips.

By the time the two of them came back with their respective sauces, there were already several plates of seafood and vegetables on the table.

Small bubbles also appeared at the bottom of the pot.

Hu Li seemed to be really hungry. Before the pot was even boiled, he threw half a crab into the pot and then picked up a piece of salmon:

"Eat, eat, I'm starving..."

Soon, the pot was boiling and she started to cook the bean sprouts.

But after taking a few bites, he was suddenly stunned.

He lowered his head to take a look at the bottom of his pot, then waved to the waiter.

"Hello, ma'am."

"Is my soup base super spicy?"

The waiter shook his head:
"No, this gentleman ordered slightly spicy."

"Uh……"

Hu Li set his gaze on Lu Yao.

"Ma'am, do you need me to change to extra spicy soup base?"

Hu Li looked at the waiter, then at Lu Yao, and then shook his head at her:
"no need."

The waiter nodded and left.

At this time, Lu Yao explained:

"Sister Li, we just changed the water and soil, so it's better not to eat such a spicy soup base. I just ordered slightly spicy."

"……Um."

Hu Li responded.

He picked up another piece of tribute vegetable from the pot with chopsticks.

After eating a few bites, he suddenly laughed:

"Ha~"

"?"

Looking at Lu Yao's puzzled eyes, she shook her head:
"It's okay, let's eat."

She didn't say.

but……

From childhood to adulthood, people around her always believe what she says.

When she is eating with other people, such as having hotpot, if the other person hears her order extra spicy the first time they eat with her, they will definitely follow her wishes and order extra spicy the second time.

Even though... some people can see that she really can't eat spicy food.

And someone like him...

is the first.

"Lu Yao."

"Ok?"

"Do you remember what I said?"

"Uh……"

Looking at the confused boy, the woman said with tenderness replacing charm on her face:
"Don't be like central air conditioning to other girls."

"..."

Under Lu Yao's frowning and questioning gaze, she shook her head:

“It’s very cruel.”

Calm, restrained, yet considerate.
