Chapter 17: Enjoying Spicy Hotpot with Young Master Xie
Xie Shi dialed his phone. Turning around to look at Liu Rong, he told her, “Lady, people from your school will be arriving soon!”
On that note, Xie Shi drove off, expressionless.
When Liu Rong saw the long scar on Xie Shi’s face, she was stunned with shock. She had never met someone with such fierce looks. She instantly felt a lingering fear.
By the time she recovered, they had been taken away by the school police. She was expelled the day after. After the incident, there was a big commotion. Everyone was secretly discussing it. They were sure to keep their distance in the future when they saw a car like the Soaring Zenith.
Xie Limo and Yun Bixue were taking a walk along the school’s shaded woods trail, drawing the attention of many students. The students looked with admiration and envy. The man was handsome and charming beyond measure, and the woman was delicate and elegant. The two were definitely a sight to behold.
Yun Bixue noticed the onlookers and felt a bit embarrassed. Xie Limo, on the other hand, held her hand confidently, without any inclination of shying away.
Yun Bixue felt the warmth she had received today was a little overwhelming. As she walked on the school grounds again, she reminisced over her past. Even so, she could live without regrets now. She had an outstanding husband at her side.
In the small alley, there were many food stalls. The food being sold included marinated meat in baked buns, waffles, roasted sausages, etc. There were many students as well, and some were running, jumping, or horsing around. Xie Limo looked after Yun Bixue with care, shielding her with his body from the other people.
The two arrived at the spicy hotpot shop. Though there wasn’t much space inside, it was clean. There weren’t many people inside either.
“It’s the young lass, Bixue! I haven’t seen you in a long time. Hurry up and find somewhere to sit. You even have a boyfriend, what a fine young man!” The owner was a woman in her sixties. When she saw Yun Bixue, her eyes were filled with loving kindness.
Yun Bixue found a seat and sat down, then she found a seat for Xie Limo too.
“I used to come here often for spicy hotpot back when I was in university. It has been three years since and nothing has changed. Don’t be surprised, Granny’s eyes don’t see very well, but she can still recognize people.”
Xie Limo could sense that since Yun Bixue arrived here, her personality turned much gentler and purer, like a young girl. It wouldn’t be a stretch for someone to believe that she had just entered university.
Yun Bixue was worried that Xie Limo was unaccustomed to eating here, so she brought him to the ingredients section and helped him pick out what he liked. Then she asked about his preferences and prepared a sauce for him.
When everything was prepared, Yun Bixue smelled the fragrance and gave a satisfied smile. Then she took her chopsticks and dived in.
After a while, she realized that Xie Limo had not even touched his chopsticks. Then she took a meatball from her plate and placed it at Xie Limo’s mouth. “Have a taste. Don’t be scared; it’s delicious. You’ll want to have more after the first time.”
Xie Limo blanked out for a moment and looked at the food near his mouth. His eyes softened, then he ate it. It tasted rather good.
“So how was it? Was it tasty? If it was, you should hurry up and dig in, don’t just look at me or you’ll be hungry in the afternoon.
It was as if she had returned to the times while she was still in school. She cast away all her worries and became casual and carefree. Despite this, she knew that this was the last time she would allow herself to relax. When she returned, she would need to shoulder all the responsibilities; her grandfather and the Yun family.
Xie Limo shook his head in resignation and started to eat as well. This was actually his first time eating the so-called spicy hotpot. In the past, he never ate any junk food. Well, it couldn’t be helped, his wife, Madam Xie liked it.
