Chapter 123 What went wrong
After a satisfying burp, Annie put down the unusually clean bowl in her hand, which was even bigger than her palm-sized face.

Wow! This was the first time she had eaten out so comfortably since she started working.

When she looked up and saw the man named Hu Biao across the table looking at her with amusement, Annie realized that she seemed, perhaps, to have eaten a little too much.

During the process of driving, my manners were not elegant at all.

But what else could she do? The food Hu Biao cooked was so delicious.

Twice-cooked pork has a garlic flavor, and the addition of garlic sprouts makes the garlic and meat aromas perfectly combined together; the second cut of pork with skin has already turned golden in color during stir-frying.

After taking a bite, the lean meat part is chewy, the fat part melts in the mouth, and with the addition of garlic sprouts, the overall taste is rich and layered.

More importantly, the dish has an indescribable flavor that makes people feel inexplicably warm.

All of the above made Annie's eyes light up after she took the first bite of meat. She swore that this was the most delicious Sichuan cuisine she had ever eaten in her life.

Maoxuewang was the second dish served, and it also amazed Annie.

The duck blood is smooth and melts in your mouth, as if it will spread out when you sip it lightly on your tongue, with a unique freshness; the tripe is crispy and refreshing, with a "crunching" sound when you bite it, and is chewy.

The other many ingredients also have their own unique features, and the combination is not redundant at all.

The perfect combination of chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns brings a strong spicy stimulation; this thing is simply a magical tool when used as a side dish for rice.

But when eating Maoxuewang, Annie felt a little troubled, because for a moment she couldn't decide whether twice-cooked pork or Maoxuewang tasted better.

When she first started eating, she still remembers holding a small bowl and eating her food in small bites.

But after becoming addicted to the food, he no longer cared about anything else; in order to enjoy the meal more, he simply took the big bowl full of rice beside him and started eating and drinking with big mouthfuls.

It was only after I finished eating that I realized that I had lost my composure.

Under normal circumstances, this girl, who was born in Sichuan Province and grew up in Northeast China, and has the bold and fierce personality of girls from these two places, would not be obsessed with what has happened.

What's wrong with me eating a little too much? I ate your rice.

But today in front of Hu Biao, she was inexplicably worried, fearing that the other party would have a bad impression of her.

So, after wiping her mouth with a napkin, Anne forced herself to make amends:

"I usually eat very little, so I'm easily fed. But today's food was just too delicious, so I couldn't control myself. I ate so much that I'm almost stuffed to death."

"It's okay! If a girl can eat, it means she is healthy and energetic." As if seeing Annie's worry, Hu Biao said with a smile.

As he spoke, his heart was filled with the pleasure of having successfully stolen food, which was even better than eating the delicious food himself.

Perhaps she felt the sincerity in Hu Biao's words and felt relieved immediately because he didn't pretend to be sincere and really thought so.

Just as Anne was sipping her tea, she thought of a new situation and felt a little bad again. She should leave.

Even though Hu Biao was very quick and efficient, it was already 11:30 in the evening by the time he finished cooking the meal for Annie.

At the small night market in the alley outside the shop, stall owners were packing up their stalls after doing business with students studying in the evening.

The whole alley suddenly became quiet. It seemed that the "Deyue Building" was about to close. However, she didn't want to leave at all, and an embarrassment appeared on her face.

Upon seeing this, Hu Biao immediately started to imagine:
Does Annie live in the city? It would be a long way to go back.

At this time, not only are there few taxis passing by, but there are also very few ride-hailing services available online; you can get a private car for an additional fee, but it is not cheap at all.

She must be feeling a bit embarrassed about this matter, right? After all, it is much harder for a young girl to work hard outside than for a man.

Thinking he had found the truth, he patted his chest and made a promise:

"Are you worried about getting a taxi home? No problem.

I'll take you to the subway station a few kilometers away. There are still many regular taxis waiting there, and the price is more reasonable."

After hearing this, even though Annie obviously had a car, she parked it outside the alley. There was no problem in going home, and there was no need to spend extra money on a private car.

But when I thought about being able to stay with Hu Biao for a while longer and chat more, such misunderstandings didn't matter at all.

Annie's eyes curved with laughter, and she nodded her head. She said quickly, "Okay, okay. By the way, Boss Hu, pay the bill." "What bill? You're our 168th lucky customer. Today's bill is free, and so are yours from now on." Hu Biao waved his hand and started talking nonsense...

*****
Five minutes later, at the door of the shop.

Annie looked at the N-handed rickshaw in surprise, and was very confused.

It’s not that she is snobbish and dislikes rickshaws as a means of transportation.

The main reason is that she often travels in first-class airplanes, luxury yachts, and various limited edition luxury cars, so she doesn't think it's anything special anymore.

It seemed like it was the first time in my life that I rode in this kind of human-powered tricycle, and I was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulders.

When he reacted, he found that Hu Biao had put an old-fashioned military coat on him and said something sarcastic:
"You only care about grace and not warmth.

It's minus 13 degrees Celsius now, put it on quickly, or you'll catch a cold."

Perhaps it was because the old-style military coat was particularly warm, especially since it had been recently washed and dried in the warm winter sun, so it smelled of laundry detergent and sunshine.

Faced with Hu Biao's complaints, Annie did not object at all.

He just said "hmm" and looked very well behaved.

Then, Hu Biao started pedaling the tricycle, and Annie sat behind him in the sheltered position, and they started driving in the cold night of the capital city.

During this process, the two chatted casually.

It should be noted that Hu Biao had no intention of telling Annie behind him about the story and the bond between him and her on the battlefield in Magic City 88 years ago.

It's enough to know that she is living a good life now.

Let everything after that take its course.

Annie also did not tell Hu Biao that she had a sense of intimacy with the name of the store "Deyue Tower" and with him, a feeling that had no reason at all but was very real.

She felt that this kind of relationship was easy and warm, which was already great, and everything else should just take its course.

Even so, the two of them were still filled with indescribable ease and joy while chatting.

For example: When Hu Biao was riding his tricycle and slowly drove out of the alley, the first thing he saw was a Bentley Continental parked on the side of the road.

After staring at it for a while, he couldn't help but yelled:

"This car is really beautiful. It must be worth at least one million. When my 'Deyue Building' becomes bigger and stronger and achieves great success, I will definitely buy one.

Annie! Then I will drive this car all the way to your home instead of just sending you halfway like now."

"More than one million is not enough. The paperwork has already cost me over five million." Annie muttered in her heart, but she echoed loudly:

"Boss Hu, come on! I'm waiting to sit in the passenger seat of your luxury car. You can do it."

After saying that, Annie decided to ask her agent to come over tomorrow to help drive the car back. From now on, she can just take a taxi and she must not let this big pig's hoof see it.

Just like that, under the bright street lights on the streets of the capital city.

The following scene appeared: a human-powered tricycle was driving in the cold wind.

The man riding the bicycle had a smile on his face, which seemed to be shining, and he seemed to have endless energy.

The long hair of the woman wrapped in a military coat in the truck bed behind him was flying in the wind, and her delicate face was also full of a sincere smile.

Like a blooming flower, it is the most beautiful scenery in this cold night.

I don’t know whether it is the night that decorates them, or they make the night more beautiful.
At the same time, not far behind, a young man driving a Maybach inadvertently saw this scene and first glanced at his empty passenger seat.

I looked at the guy riding the tricycle in front of me again, and he was pulling a beautiful girl with a happy smile on her face. I was so hungry that I almost swallowed the dog food.

He couldn't help but curse: "Fuck! What on earth went wrong..."
