Chapter 810 Happy Birthday
Yan Xi bought vinegar and went upstairs, but Lu Xingye hadn't arrived yet.
He ran to the kitchen and asked Shen Lu why he didn't ask Lu Xingye to buy it as well.
Shen Lu said confidently, "I didn't remember."
Yan Xi felt that her words were not convincing at all.
Shen Lu?
She was too lazy to explain to Yan Xi.
There were only a couple, Zhang Zimo and Cheng Ran, in the living room, but Yan Xi didn't understand what he was saying and didn't know to move them to another seat.
If I don’t use you, who should I use?
"Momo and Senior Cheng Ran finally have a chance to talk, and you're just standing there like a 2,000-watt light bulb. What do you want to do?"
Ever since Xue Tian adjusted her mindset and stopped coveting Yan Xi's beauty, she has become more open in her conversations with Yan Xi.
Anyway, no matter whether Yan Xi is happy or not, she must first make herself happy.
So now it’s time to complain about her.
Yan Xi didn't notice anything wrong.
But after hearing Xue Tian's words, he was stunned for a moment.
He and Zhang Zimo are childhood sweethearts, having known each other since elementary school.
He always treated Zhang Zimo as a good friend, not a sister.
But in fact, Zhang Zimo is just a girl and she already has a fiancé.
Should he keep some distance from Zhang Zimo?
At least you shouldn't be too casual when your fiancé is around.
Yan Xi has realized his mistake. He pretends to surrender and asks the kitchen if he needs any help.
There's really not much left to do in the kitchen.
For example, seafood is already processed when brought here.
But they are all alive and very fresh before they are delivered.
Mainly considering that no one likes to do things manually, they handled it very well.
"How about this, go cut up the fruit plate. They just sent over a lot of fruit."
Shen Lu originally wanted to send Yan Xi away casually.
But Yan Xi still thought this job was suitable for him.
"Okay, I'll make the fruit plate."
I chose a very beautiful large plate from Shen Lu’s tableware.
Yan Xi got a bunch of fruits and went to the dining table to work on them.
By the time the hot pot base has developed a rich spicy aroma, Yan Xi's fruit plate is also ready.
He actually knew how to carve, and the fruit plates he made looked as if he had taken a ten-year course in a high-end club.
"I learned this from an old man who carves jade."
Yan Xi was very proud to see Shen Lu was amazed.
"Well, this is a good move, isn't it?"
The old man he knew was a master of jade carving, and his skills were truly exquisite.
He practiced on his own, starting with fruits and vegetables.
So his fruit plate is particularly beautiful.
Not to mention working in a high-end club for ten years, he can even work in a five-star hotel!
"Yes, very impressive."
Shen Lu gave a thumbs up.
Xue Tian hurried out to see: "Wow, it's so beautiful."
"It's hard to imagine a young master like you walking out of such a beautiful fruit plate."
"Are you sure you didn't go out and buy it while we weren't paying attention?"
Yan Xi rolled his eyes at her and said, "You underestimate me too much."
"I can easily carve a flower, why do I need to buy one?"
In order to prove himself, Yan Xi carved a rose out of discarded watermelon scraps.
He handed it to Xue Tian: "How about it, do you trust my skills now?"
Xue Tian's eyes widened: "Your hands can turn decay into magic."
"How did you do it?"
"Why don't you give me your hands? I also want a pair of such skillful hands!"
Xue Tian couldn't help but pick up Yan Xi's hand and look at it.
Yan Xi pulled his hand away: "Stop dreaming!"
When Xue Tian heard this, her interest dropped sharply.
"Which jade carving master did you learn from? Are you still accepting apprentices?" Shen Lu wanted to learn carving.
She is a designer and wants to carve something by herself. After learning, it should not be difficult.
Before Yan Xi could say anything, Zhang Zimo interrupted: "I don't accept disciples."
"The reason I taught Yan Xi was because I liked his face."
"The old man wanted to bring Yan Xi and his granddaughter together, so he taught Yan Xi all his special skills."
"Unfortunately, that granddaughter didn't like Yan Xi. She thought he was too pretty and not steady enough."
Yan Xi instantly became like a cat whose tail was stepped on: "Who is unstable? It's her vision that's wrong!"
Yan Xi cursed.
That girl is also a young lady, and her family background is better than Zhang Zimo's. She is not only rich, but also powerful.
Therefore, it is inevitable that the standards for choosing men are also very high.
For her, Yan Xi is not her type and cannot attract her.
Yan Xi didn't care. Anyway, he wouldn't really marry someone's granddaughter just because he learned someone's skills.
The old man was just joking.
He was relieved that people didn't like him.
But in Zhang Zimo's mouth, it was as if he had no charm. Could Yan Xi be convinced?
While they were chatting, Lu Xingye had already gone upstairs.
He rang the doorbell.
Shen Lu ran to open the door, saw Lu Xingye, and welcomed him in with a smile.
There are a lot of people coming here today, but Lu Xingye has his own exclusive slippers here.
Looking at everyone else, they saw that they were all wearing shoe covers, but he was the only one wearing slippers. Lu Xingye's mouth curled up.
"Am I late?"
Lu Xingye brought some cooked food, which he packed from the hotel.
"This shop tastes great. The dishes I brought are all specialties of their hotel."
Lu Xingye opened the takeaway boxes in his hand one by one, and the aroma that was different from that of hot pot emanated from it, which was also very overbearing.
Hotpot is spicy, and the dishes he packed were either braised or light.
There is no overlap with hot pot.
"This beef is good, braised beef, as thin as a cicada's wing."
Lu Xingye picked up a piece with disposable chopsticks and fed it to Shen Lu's mouth.
Shen Lu held it in his mouth and felt a little unsatisfied after finishing it.
"This tastes really good. It makes me even hungrier after eating it."
The pot on the table was already bubbling.
"Hurry up, dinner is ready!" Shen Lu asked everyone to sit down.
Everyone sat together, and at this time the dessert ordered by Zhang Zimo arrived.
There are several kinds of desserts that look refreshing and delicious.
Shen Lu ate several of them.
"Don't eat dessert yet." Lu Xingye stopped her hand, "Eat some meat first."
It is very nice to have someone help you pick up the food when eating hot pot.
It just so happened that Shen Lu was not good at it, so Lu Xingye used the serving chopsticks to pick up a lot for her.
Shen Lu's bowls and plates were almost never empty.
Lu Xingye himself, on the other hand, ate relatively little.
By the time everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, it was already past nine o'clock.
Several people were either lying or leaning on the sofa or carpet. This meal was really delicious!
When everyone was exhausted, Zhang Zimo opened the last dessert box.
It turned out to be a small cake.
It was probably about six inches in size, and placed on the coffee table, it looked like a forest-style cake, very beautiful.
"Mingming, come and make a wish."
Gao Ming was stunned. She thought no one would remember her birthday.
After all, to her family, she was just a little girl and shouldn't have been born, so why should they celebrate her birthday?
