To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 257 Unreasonable trouble

  The small red clay stove with exquisite patterns is covered with charcoal fire without smoke. The fish **** are rolling in the milky white soup, and the aroma is tangy.

  Dou Ren raised his hand and covered it with a large sleeve, and tested the poison with a silver needle.

  The color of the silver needle remains unchanged, and Dou Ren is ready to taste it for himself.

   "It doesn't have to be like this, step back." Wei Qiang said lightly.

   "Your Highness, this is against the rules." Dou Ren whispered.

   Wei Qiang glanced at the girl at the counter, and said softly, "I've tried it with silver needles, so it doesn't need to be so complicated."

"But-"

   "Don't you see that Uncle Wang also eats here?"

  Dou Ren didn't dare to say any more, picked up a pair of silver chopsticks on the table, wiped them carefully, and gave them to Wei Qiang with both hands.

  Wei Qiang took it, held up a chopstick and put a fish ball in his mouth.

  The fish **** are tough, light and delicious.

   Wei Qiang sighed comfortably.

  Drinking such a bowl of fish ball soup when the cool breeze is blowing, the whole person is ironed.

   Wei Han watched Wei Qiang eat meat and drink soup with cold eyes, his thin lips curled up in a mocking arc.

   Does it have anything to do with the crown prince eating here?

  He was also in the paddock that day, and the wild boar ran towards the prince anyway.

  Miss Luo treats him differently than she treats the prince.

   Wei Han's eyes quietly fell on the girl who was sitting by the counter with her chin resting on her cheeks, as if she was thinking about something, the subtle mockery hanging from the corner of her mouth changed to gentleness.

  He and Miss Luo are friends now.

  Of course Luo Sheng wasn't careless, but kept paying attention to Wei Qiang, but it was very subtle.

  She always had to watch him eat more to feel at ease.

   One pot of fish head and fish **** is not too much, and after drinking two pots of soju, it is almost bottomed out.

   Wei Qiang ordered to pay the bill, and politely asked Wei Han: "Do you want to go with Uncle Wang?"

  Wei Han said lightly: "If the prince and I are not on the same road, there is no need."

   "The nephew will take a step first." Wei Qiang stood up as he spoke, and cast his gaze towards the counter involuntarily.

  Luo Sheng seemed to have just noticed this line of sight, and looked over casually.

  Under the light, the girl's bright face was tinged with softness due to haze, which made Wei Qiang's heart beat faster for no reason when he met her eyes.

   This is a feeling he has never felt when facing Chaohua.

   Wei Qiang forgot to look away for a moment, until the sound of the wine glass colliding with the table sounded, and then looked in the direction of the sound.

   "Isn't Your Highness leaving?" Wei Han asked.

  Facing the cold face of the young man, Wei Qiang suddenly felt a little funny.

  This Uncle Wang, after all, is younger.

  Wei Qiang smiled and said, "Say hello to Miss Luo and leave."

   "Your Highness, have you eaten?" Luo Sheng took the initiative to walk over, "I'll take His Highness out."

   "Miss Luo, you're being polite." Wei Qiang smiled even deeper, but he didn't refuse.

   Wei Han watched the two of them walk out of the restaurant, raised their glasses and drank the wine.

  Compared to the warmth in the wine shop, the coldness of early winter is already faint outside.

   Wei Qiang's drunkenness dissipated, and he smiled at Luo Sheng: "Miss Luo, please stay, it's cold outside."

   "Your Highness, go slowly."

  Wei Qiang nodded slightly, turned around and took two steps, suddenly stopped and turned around.

  Luo Sheng still stood there without moving.

   "Miss Luo." Wei Qiang called out.

  Luo Sheng slightly bent his knees: "Please speak, Your Highness."

  Wei Qiang stared at her with burning eyes: "Today's fish head pot is very delicious, maybe I will eat it again in a few days."

   "Really?" In the thin night, the girl's ice-like face showed a slight smile, "Then welcome your Highness to eat here often."

   Wei Qiang said hello, turned and left.

  Luo Sheng watched Dou Ren quickly follow with cold eyes, and then several guards outside the wine shop protected Wei Qiang in the middle, and the group gradually drifted away.

   "Miss Luo." A soft call sounded in Luo Sheng's ear.

  Luo Sheng raised his eyes and looked at the man who walked out at some point.

  Perhaps because he drank too much wine, the man's cheeks were stained with a deep red, and his eyes were frighteningly bright in the night.

   "My lord finished eating?"

   Wei Han pursed his thin lips slightly: "It's over."

  He has been eating for almost an hour, from the first time he came to eat until the restaurant was about to close, even if he ate a whole pig, he should have finished it.

  It's just—he took a deep look at the girl, and his thoughts were straightforward: he just wanted to see Miss Luo more.

  Unexpectedly, she saw Miss Luo sending the prince off.

  Thinking back, he came to eat so many times and walked away silently. Only that time, Miss Luo sent him off, and he asked for it on his own initiative.

  Thinking in this way, Wei Han suddenly felt that the wine he ate today was a bit harsh.

   "My lord, go slowly."

  Luo Sheng walked towards the entrance of the restaurant, but Wei Han called out behind him: "Miss Luo, can you see me off?"

  Luo Sheng looked back and glanced at him.

  In the night, the young man in scarlet clothes has picturesque eyebrows, and his eyes are full of soft light, as if picking up the stars from the sky and hiding them in his eyes, so that those who look at these eyes will be addicted to them if they don't pay attention.

  Pure and clear, it is always easier to relax.

  Luo Sheng smiled in that unabashedly earnest gaze: "What are you giving away when you're already outside? It's easy for you, my lord, I'll go in first."

   Wei Han watched the figure walk into the restaurant step by step, and the girl who made him happy never looked back.

  He sighed silently.

  Miss Luo, as always, is always ruthless towards him.

  He raised his foot and walked towards the wine shop.

  Since he is outside, he can go in.

   Just leave alone? At least tonight he didn't want to.

  Luo Sheng walked into the lobby, Shi Yan who was clearing the table smiled and asked: "Miss Luo, our master just went out, did you see it?"

  Lonely man and widow standing outside, don’t they talk for a while?

   "I see, your prince has gone back."

  Luo Sheng said in a flat tone and walked in, but heard Shi Yan call "Master".

  The astonishment in her tone made her stop and turn her head away.

  Behind her, the man in scarlet clothes chuckled at her: "Something fell."

  Shi Yan quickly looked around the lobby, and then quietly let out a sigh of relief.

   Fortunately, the restaurant was closed, and there were no other drinkers. It would be too embarrassing for the master to look at Miss Luo with a smirk.

  As for the people in the restaurant?

  The people in the restaurant don't care, they are used to it anyway.

   Drop something?

  Luo Sheng looked at the table by the window.

  The cups and plates on the table had already been cleared away, and even the table was wiped clean.

  Luo Sheng pursed his lips and walked up to Wei Han: "I'll take the prince out."

"good."

  Seeing the two walking out side by side, Shi Yan blinked.

  Miss Luo sent the master out without asking what was left behind?

  Master didn't say anything, just went out...

  So in fact, nothing was left behind, it was just two people who were reluctant to leave, right?

  The little guard became excited when he thought of this possibility, and polished the table.

  The wind outside is slightly cool.

  Luo Sheng sent Wei Han ten feet away without saying a word, then stopped: "My lord, go slowly."

   "See you tomorrow." Wei Han's eyes became brighter.

  Luo Sheng nodded slightly, and said solemnly: "In the future, my lord, remember not to drink too much."

  She discovered that once this man drank two more glasses, he would start making trouble for no reason.

See you tomorrow.
