Chapter 76 The Princess Invites Me to Dinner

Zhou Xiaonan looked at the fallen basin and loosened her grip in fright, causing the tongs to fall into another basin of vegetables. She also closed her eyes.

Chen Zhirui, who had been watching from the side, had already felt that the basin was about to fall, so the moment the basin tilted, he reacted quickly, reached out and grabbed the coriander basin and put it back in place.

When Zhou Xiaonan opened her eyes, nothing had happened. Only the coriander she had picked up with great difficulty seemed to have fallen back into the basin.

Zhou Xiaonan looked at Chen Zhirui who had helped her and said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you."

Chen Zhirui waved his hand and asked shyly, "Do you need... help?"

"no need."

After the embarrassing incident just now, Zhou Xiaonan felt that it was not necessary to eat the coriander at noon. Face was more important than coriander.

Zhou Xiaonan picked up the tongs that had just slipped out of her hand. There were still a few sprigs of coriander on it. These few sprigs of coriander were like a consolation prize for her failed challenge.

Still, better than nothing.

She took the basin to the cashier and paid the bill. Chen Zhirui followed closely behind her, also paid the bill and got a number tag.

Although it was not yet lunchtime, there were many people in the store and all the seats seemed to be occupied. Zhou Xiaonan was quick to grab a small seat for two that had just been vacated. Looking at Chen Zhirui who was still wandering around the store and hadn't found a seat, she waved to him.

Seeing Zhou Xiaonan waving at him, Chen Zhirui actually refused in his heart. He didn't dare to sit and eat with a girl, and Zhou Xiaonan's seat was very small. With his size, he could take up half of the table by himself.

Seeing that Chen Zhirui was not moving, Zhou Xiaonan stood up and shouted, "Come here quickly, what are you looking at?"

"oh oh……"

Chen Zhirui did not dare to refuse her kindness. He nodded twice and walked over. As he thought, the table was very small and it seemed a bit crowded for two people to sit on it, but they sat down despite squeezing together.

The two of them sat face to face. Chen Zhirui didn't dare to look at her. He held his phone and played with it. He didn't know what he was playing. He opened various apps absent-mindedly and swiped them randomly.

Compared to him, Zhou Xiaonan was much more natural. While waiting for the meal, she started the quick mode of "Shovel", but her skills were too poor. The spicy hot pot was not even cooked yet, and she quickly finished the game with the last place. She was so angry that she quit the game directly.

Chen Zhirui watched her play and couldn't resist the temptation, so he started a game on his phone. He had just started the spicy hot pot, but Zhou Xiaonan's meal was not ready yet - perhaps because her portion had more meat and was more durable.

Chen Zhirui put down his phone and went to get the food. When he came back, he saw Zhou Xiaonan tapping on his phone screen.

Seeing him coming back, Zhou Xiaonan smiled and explained, "I saw the game was open, so I helped you choose. Do you mind? Hehe."

"it's okay no problem."

Chen Zhirui put the spicy tomato soup on the table and waved his hand and said, "If you want to play, I'll give it to you."

Zhou Xiaonan pushed the phone back in front of him and waved his hand, saying, "No, no, no, you should do it. I'm too inexperienced."

Looking at his red bowl of soup, Zhou Xiaonan asked again: "Do you like spicy food too?"

"Oh, no, it isn't."

Chen Zhirui tapped the screen and said, "I don't eat spicy food. This is tomato soup."

"Okay." Zhou Xiaonan shook his head and said, "I hate tomato soup the most. Spicy soup is the real deal!"

"Ah ha ha."

Chen Zhirui smiled, not knowing how to respond.

After a while, Zhou Xiaonan's spicy hot pot was ready. She ordered it extra spicy, and she added a bunch of red seasonings on the seasoning table. The whole bowl of spicy hot pot was bright red, and the dishes inside were also dyed a fiery red, and there was a pungent spicy smell.

Chen Zhirui looked at the bowl of chili peppers, his eyes widened, and asked, "You... can eat such spicy food!"

"The peppers in these restaurants in Zhonghai only look spicy, but they have no taste at all." Zhou Xiaonan shrugged and said, "The peppers in our Shucheng are still tasty."

Chen Zhirui asked: "You are from Shucheng."

Zhou Xiaonan couldn't wait to pick up a piece of red beef roll soaked in soup and put it into his mouth, saying, "Yes, where are you from?"

Chen Zhirui replied: "I am from Yangcheng."

"Oh, I've been there. Your morning tea is delicious, but it's a pity that there's no spicy oil..."

"Haha, people over there don't really like spicy food."

"Why are you still playing this game... How did you get first place..."

"lucky."

……

In the hot pot restaurant on the fifth floor, Kong Liu and Gu Chenxi’s dishes have been served.

The boiling red oil in the pot was bubbling. Gu Chenxi went to prepare the dipping sauce, and Kong Liu started to put the vegetables into the pot.

The waiter was giving free toys to the kids at the next table, so Kong Yoo shamelessly asked for a pink magic wand and hid it in his pocket.

After a while, Gu Chenxi came back with two bowls of dipping sauce. She said, "Here is one spicy and one non-spicy. Which one do you want?"

Gong Yoo smiled and replied, "I don't like dipping sauce when eating hot pot."

"Ah!" Gu Chenxi said in annoyance, "What should I do if I already have two bowls?"

Seeing her embarrassment, Gong Liu immediately said, "But today is different. I suddenly want to dip."

Gong Yoo said to himself in his heart, "Well, I just want to eat the dipping sauce, it's definitely not for any other reason."

"Okay."

Hearing this, Gu Chenxi smiled and asked, "Would you like to eat something that's not spicy?"

Gong Liu nodded: "I'm fine with either."

"Then this is for you!"

Gu Chenxi put down the spicy dipping sauce and gave the non-spicy one to Kong Liu, but after doing all this she had no intention of sitting down.

Seeing that she was still standing with a smile on her face, Gong Liu asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"I want to sit next to you."

"Row."

Gong Liu moved his body, leaving half of his space for Gu Chenxi.

Gu Chenxi brought the dipping sauce and sat down next to Gong Liu happily.

Some of the dishes that Gong Liu had just ordered were already cooked. He picked up a piece of fat lamb roll and asked Gu Chenxi, "Do you want to eat it?"

Gu Chenxi nodded, and Kong Liu put the fat lamb roll in her bowl.

Gu Chenxi filled the fat lamb roll with stuffing, but did not eat it right away. Instead, he said, "You said, Princess, please have dinner."

Gong Liu glanced at her, smiled, and said, "Childish!"

Gu Chenxi bumped Gong Liu's shoulder with his arm and urged, "Hey, hurry up and tell me!"

"That's too childish. I won't say it."

"If you don't tell me, I won't play with you anymore."

"You're an elementary school student."

"I'll beat you up!"

"Okay, okay." Gong Liu said with a bit of a smile: "Princess, please have dinner!"

"No, no." Gu Chenxi shook his head and said, "Be serious!"

There was no other way, so Gong Liu put away his smile and said again: "Princess, please have dinner."

"Ok!"

Gu Chenxi nodded in satisfaction and ate the fat lamb roll in one bite. After finishing, she smiled mysteriously and said, "The princess is very satisfied and decided to grant you the knight's staff!"

As she said this, she took out a small purple magic wand from behind her like a magician and gave it to Kong Yoo. This was the one she asked the waitress for when she was preparing the seasoning just now.

Gu Chenxi raised her eyebrows proudly and said, "How about this, Miss's surprise, you didn't expect it, did you?"

"Haha." Looking at the magic wand, Gong Liu said with a smile: "Then tell me, Prince, you are so handsome, I have a gift for you too!"

Gu Chenxi tilted her head and looked at him blankly: "What gift? Could it be a magic wand too?"

"Don't ask, just tell me."

This time, it was Kong Liu's turn to urge Gu Chenxi.

"You are so handsome, Prince!"

As soon as Gu Chenxi finished speaking, Kong Liu took out the pink magic wand that he had hidden in his pocket.

"Whoa oh!"

Gu Chenxi held the pink magic wand, looked at Kong Liu with stars in her eyes and said, "How come you have one too!"

Gong Liu also imitated Gu Chenxi's behavior just now, raised his eyebrows proudly, and said: "You are not the only one who can prepare surprises."

Gu Chenxi held the magic wand Gong Liu gave her like a treasure, but said lightly: "It can barely be considered a surprise."

Gong Yoo looked at her and said, “Your smile betrays your true thoughts.”

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
