Walking out of the school gate, we came to a Hunan restaurant on the street near the school.
The decoration of the storefront was not outstanding, and the facilities inside the store were not high-end.
However, Jiang Cheng, who had the memory of his previous life, knew that the Hunan cuisine cooked by the owner of this restaurant was absolutely first-class.
He picked up the menu and handed it to Lu Xin: "Take a look first, and order what you want to eat."
"Jiang... Jiang Cheng..."
Lu Xin took the menu and took a look, then immediately put it down, lowered her head and said weakly: "Or... I think it's better to forget it... I think it's better to go back to the cafeteria to eat..."
"It's so hot, it's so hot to walk around~"
Jiang Cheng said carelessly, raised his hand and called the proprietress who was responsible for taking orders.
"Well, first serve the sliced fish, pickled cabbage, no, spicy flavor."
"Then Mao's braised pork, wild pepper beef, garlic water spinach and three fresh soup - and two bottles of Hans Cabin, iced."
"Okay~ Wait a moment~"
Seeing the proprietress walk into the kitchen with the menu, Lu Xin, who was sitting opposite Jiang Cheng, was panicked and at a loss.
She had just glanced at the menu, and the price of the sliced fish alone was as high as 58.
It was even 8 yuan higher than her weekly food expenses.
As for the braised pork and beef, it was probably not much cheaper. By this calculation, a lunch was almost equivalent to her food expenses for half a month.
Lu Xin was immediately surprised and uneasy.
- If I had known that Jiang Cheng would spend so much money, I would not have reminded him in class just now...
Lu Xin thought anxiously, regretting secretly in her heart.
To be honest, she herself was a little confused, because before, she would never care about such trivial matters.
I really don't know what happened to me recently...
Is it just because Jiang Cheng is more friendly to me?
Or is it because of something else...?
Thinking of this, Lu Xin couldn't help but raise her head slightly and quietly glanced at the handsome boy.
Unexpectedly, she met Jiang Cheng's eyes that were always looking at her.
"Ah..."
Even with the glasses covering her eyes, she couldn't block Jiang Cheng's fiery gaze.
Lu Xin was like a frightened deer, moaning in her mouth and lowered her head in an instant.
Looking at the uneasy girl, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but smile.
After seeing the other party's peerless face, Lu Xin was so beautiful in his eyes at this moment.
Exquisite face, tall and handsome nose, and cherry mouth with clear lines.
Perfect, too perfect.
Just when Lu Xin's head was about to be buried under the table, the fat lady boss came over with a large porcelain plate.
"Spicy fish slices~ Please make way, be careful of the heat."
"Are you hungry? Come and try it."
Jiang Cheng took a pair of chopsticks, rubbed them in his palm, and handed them to Lu Xin opposite.
Lu Xin took the chopsticks in a daze, sniffed the rich aroma of the red chili oil in the porcelain plate, and couldn't help swallowing.
"Eat~ You're welcome~" Jiang Cheng urged with a smile, picked up a few pieces of fish fillet and put them in Lu Xin's bowl.
"Thank... Thank you..."
Lu Xin pursed her lips, and her body, which was seriously lacking in protein nutrition, finally couldn't resist the temptation of delicious meat. After thanking her again, she finally picked up a piece of fish fillet and brought it to her mouth.
First, she opened her delicate little mouth and blew it, then carefully took a small bite and chewed slowly.
A blush of happiness suddenly spread on her pale cheeks.
Delicious...!
The thin fish slices with bones removed were cooked in a thick soup similar to the spicy hot pot soup base. They were super tender and smooth, and spicy and fresh.
I didn't expect fish meat to be cooked like this. It's really delicious!
Looking at Lu Xin with a satisfied look on her face, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Although he didn't know her specific family conditions, from what he knew so far, Lu Xin's growing environment must not be very good.
It's really heartbreaking to see a pearl covered in dust and a beautiful woman with a short life.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but feel lucky again.
Fortunately, he finally got to know her again in this life.
Fortunately, this time, he was fully capable of protecting her.
After the first dish was served, the rest of the dishes soon followed.
After sweeping the rice in his bowl, Jiang Cheng first poured a glass of iced fruit beer for Lu Xin, and then filled a glass for himself and drank it all.
"Thank you..."
Lu Xin held the cold wall of the glass with her fingertips and said thank you again weakly.
"Okay, let'sWhy are you thanking each other~" Jiang Cheng burped without any image, and said with a big smile: "Try it, although it is fruit beer, it is actually just a carbonated drink, sweet."
"Hmm..."
Lu Xin nodded, picked up the cup and took a small sip, and immediately shrugged her shoulders and narrowed her eyes, just like a cute kitten.
Ring——!
At this time, a mobile phone ring suddenly came from Lu Xin's schoolbag.
The girl was stunned at first, and then the slightly happy expression on her face because of tasting the food quickly dimmed.
She quickly unzipped the inner zipper of the schoolbag and took out a worn-out PHS.
"Hello...Mom...?"
I don't know if it was Jiang Cheng's illusion, but I felt that when Lu Xin said the word "Mom", there was only indifference in her tone, and there was no affection between close relatives.
"Lu Xin! Where are you? ! "
The voice of the PHS intercom was so loud that even Jiang Cheng, who was sitting across the table, could clearly hear the woman's angry voice.
"I... I'm at school..."
Lu Xin looked at Jiang Cheng in embarrassment, turned her head away a little embarrassedly, and said softly.
"Go to school! Go to school! All you do is go to school all day long!"
The volume of the scolding on the other end of the phone became louder and louder, and it was all over her face.
"Your sick father is almost dead! You still have the mind to go to school! What's the point of you, a girl, reading those broken books? ! Listen to me, get back here right now!"
"Mom... didn't we agree before... You will go to the hospital to take care of my dad during the day this week..."
"I take care of your dad? Are you kidding me? - I don't want to go to work? Don't I want to make money? You know your brother's physical condition! If I don't make money to take care of him, who will take care of him in the future? Should I rely on your sick father, or on you, a nerd? ! ”
“Mom...you...don’t say that...Isn’t my dad’s passbook with you...”
“You still have the nerve to mention the passbook? ——That’s the money your brother will use to get a wife in the future! Lu Xin! I tell you, get back here right away!”
“Otherwise, I will notify the hospital today that this disease is incurable!”
“Don’t...Mom!”
A ruthless hang-up interrupted Lu Xin’s anxious words.
The girl’s eyes turned red, and crystal tears rolled.
“What’s wrong?”
Jiang Cheng handed over a tissue and asked with concern.
“No...nothing...”
Lu Xin wiped her eyes quickly and whispered, “Jiang Cheng, thank you for inviting me to dinner today. I have something to do at home and I have to go back first. Sorry. "
After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Cheng to reply, the girl picked up her schoolbag and ran out.
"Hmm..."
Watching Lu Xin's figure running away, Jiang Cheng, who was sitting at the table, tapped his fingers lightly on the table with a serious expression.
It seems that there are really some big problems in Lu Xin's family.
Perhaps, I should take care of it...
