Chapter 18: 慶典
[Celebration]
Tang Shiman listened to the side voice of praise, thinking of the recent days her mother introduced her to omiai partner, her eyes looking at Tang Xiaobao becoming more and more bad. Originally thought to send this person to suffer, who thought in turn of the eye actually salty fish turn over. Seeing Tang Xiaobao live better, Tang Shiman’s heart is more and more dissatisfied.
When the woman returned to his senses, turned her eyes to look at Tang Shiman, only to see her look in the direction of the two left eyes full of jealousy, suddenly she understood very clearly, with a handkerchief to cover their mouths, for fear of laughing out loud. After a while, she had seen enough of the show, and then she slowly said to her, “Shiman, we should go back.”
Hearing the voice from beside her, Tang Shiman was startled, then realized that her emotions were too exposed, and hastily restrained the expression on her face, then revealed a soft smile, looking no different from the usual gentle and ladylike she was, “Let’s go.”
Seeing the situation, the women together also no longer say anything more, just followed her left. Only when leaving, she looked towards Wang Jiang Lou, her heart thought that the Tang family’s little Ger is a blessed one.
Ji Ling and Tang Xiaobao went all the way up to the third floor along with the shopkeeper, because it happened to be noon, and soon the waiter would be ready to serve the meal. He stole a glance at Tang Xiaobao, who was looking at the table of dishes to study, and then looked at the side, there was Ji Ling who sat quite interestedly looking at Tang Xiaobao. The shopkeepers ask to leave, waiting for them to finish their meal and then come over.
Tang Xiaobao has been accustomed to eating with only the two of them, so once the shopkeeper goes, Tang Xiaobao will give Ji Ling an extra bowl of soup. Afterwards, he clips up the one that he last remembered that he wanted to eat. He eats it up, and it is true that with one bite down, the sweet aroma is incomparable, both colour and taste are all complete. This restaurant has a good standard, compared to the previous signature dishes of the star hotel. He was very happy to clip one for Ji Ling to try, “You quickly try this, last time I said this to the master, this time he really made a tasty dish.”
Looking at Tang Xiaobao’s mouth full of oil, and then looking at his own bowl of food, Ji Ling action is very natural, a taste, and then agreed: “Indeed delicious, thanks to your suggestion.”
Hearing Ji Ling’s praise, Tang Xiaobao touched his own head and was very embarrassed, he just said a couple of words, it’s the chef’s own skills.
Seeing Tang Xiaobao’s red face eating his rice with special flavour, Ji Ling felt a burst of comfort, looking at the person who eats well and is well-behaved, it really makes people’s appetite open up.
After eating, Tang Xiaobao sat there to ease the mood. Thinking that after he went back home, whether he should cook this dish too. Today Ji Ling also eats a lot so he must also like this dish. In Tang Xiaobao, like a heavenly steed, soaring across the skies (bold and imaginative) imagined how to change the side dishes inside the time, felt his face was touched by someone and then following his eyes, appeared a very good-looking finger, which is still stained with some sauce. His brain is still reminiscent of the sauce’s deliciousness, Tang Xiaobao action very naturally lick it until it is completely clean. He turned his head to look at the owner of the finger, his face red beyond recognition. Only one question echoed in his head, why did he do that just now?
Seeing Tang Xiaobao’s reaction, Ji Ling didn’t make any big move, just picked up his handkerchief and wiped his finger, and then asked inadvertently, “Is the sauce delicious?”
Tang Xiaobao, whose brain was already blank, didn’t know how to react at this moment, but when he heard this sentence, his brain still nodded reflexively.
“If you like it, you can have it next time.” After wiping his hands clean, Ji Ling asked his servant to ask the shopkeeper to come back, the two of them wanted to discuss business.
Seeing the two of them discussing business, Tang Xiaobao who was sitting by the side with nothing to do, came back to his senses, looking at Ji Ling’s eyes a bit tangled, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally looking at his long and white hands, hesitating to ask the subordinate to bring pots of water to wash for him, after all, he knows that Ji Ling is a person with a serious mysophobia / obsession with cleanliness. He wiped his mouth with good intentions, but instead he licked it and stained his hand with saliva.
As he looked at Tang Xiaobao’s reddish white eyes, the corner of Ji Ling’s mouth lifted up in an unnoticeable arc.
Looking at today’s extraordinarily well-spoken young master, the shopkeeper is also very surprised, just curious for a moment. This kind of thinking was suppressed, now the most important thing is to make money.
On the way back by carriage, looking at the same as usual Ji Ling, Tang Xiaobao’s nervous mind gradually calmed down. But still keep telling himself, next time firmly he can not do such a stupid thing again, everything before you do it, you have to use your head first.
Sitting on the opposite side of the Ji Ling looked at the constantly changing face of Tang Xiaobao, very interested in watching. The person in front of me is really cute, everything is shown on his face, and he can see through it at a glance.
Listening to the sound of the horse cart, Ji Ling looked at Tang Xiaobao, as if he suddenly thought of something, he opened his mouth, “In the next few days, there will be a lantern festival here, there will be a celebration, do you want to come out to see it?”
Ji Ling’s words pulled Tang Xiaobao out of his own thoughts, thinking of the bustling scenes he saw in his previous life in TV dramas. He was still looking forward to it, but then he thought of something and looked at Ji Ling and asked, “Can you come out?” Although Ji Ling’s body is constantly improving, because of the weak foundation, he usually still needs to pay more attention to it, such as not working too much.
Seeing that Tang Xiaobao was obviously very willing, but first took care of his own appearance, Ji Ling expressed great satisfaction. “It’s not a problem.”
After hearing this, Tang Xiaobao nodded his head, indicating that he would go. After coming here for so long, every day has been so dull, even the last time he caught a thief, he didn’t even get to see it, so he wanted to go to the celebration this time for whatever reason.
Seeing Tang Xiaobao’s bright eyes staring at himself, Ji Ling’s eyes became deep, and he rubbed his fingers without moving.
A few days after the lantern, after dinner Ji Ling took Tang Xiaobao and a group of subordinates to set off, and Tang Xiaobao was happy like a child who was going to go on a picnic.
“What if we come out so late and can’t squeeze in later?” Tang Xiaobao looked at Ji Ling and asked this question. He used to watch those lanterns where the busy places were surrounded by three layers on the left and three layers on the right, and when he went out late, he could only stand on the outside and could not see anything.
Ji Ling turned his head to look at Tang Xiaobao, did not open his mouth, and seemed to be thinking about why he would have such a strange idea. Then he looked at the increasing number of people, took his hand and walked in silence.
Feeling the warmth of his hand, Tang Xiaobao’s face reddened for a moment, and then looked at the gradually increasing number of people around him, and told himself that he was holding his hand because he was afraid of him getting lost, so don’t think too much.
Looking at the increasingly busy street, and all kinds of people, Tang Xiaobao found that this is not the street they usually walked by, as if the place is changing and then looked to the nearby shops, only to find that some of the upstairs girls depend on dressing sexy or in revealing, his heart has a bold idea. Since coming here,he never thought that he is a Ger, Tang Xiaobao at this time can not restrain his boyish heart, heart beating powerfully.
Seemingly sensing something wrong with Tang Xiaobao, Ji Ling turned his head to look at him, only to see Tang Xiaobao’s face flushed red, his eyes dodging, a look of wanting to look but not daring to look. Then Ji Ling lifted his head to look around and saw those bold girls, and in an instant he understood and his eyes narrowed. The hand holding Tang Xiao Bao’s hand got a little harder, causing him to look at himself strangely.
Fortunately, there were only a few of those buildings, and after walking for a while, he came to an open area surrounded by some restaurants. Ji Ling came straight to the biggest one here, and the small waiter standing at the shop’s door looked at their group and ran up very quickly, saying attentively, “Have you made a reservation, I’m afraid there aren’t enough seats today.”
Before Ji Ling could say anything, Feng Ling, who was following him, came out and said, “My Gongzi booked a room a few days ago, Tian Zi No. 1.”
Hearing Feng Ling’s words, the waiter immediately became very eager, and hurriedly invited the people in, and after checking that it was indeed the room they had booked, he respectfully invited the people up.
