Chapter 251 A Date Eight Years Late
Mu Qian then remembered that before Huo Jinxi left the house in the morning, he vaguely told her to wait for him in the painting hall.
But she didn't listen carefully at that time, and with Ye Xi's affairs, she completely forgot about this matter.
Now that I heard Huo Jinxi’s tone, have you arrived at the painting hall?
Mu Qian glanced at the road ahead, thought for a while, and said, "On the way back."
Huo Jinxi didn't say much and hung up the phone.
When Mu Qian returned to the painting hall, Huo Jinxi was sitting in her office looking through some picture albums. He raised his eyes and saw her, and asked lightly: "Where have you gone?"
Mu Qian replied without thinking: "Catch the traitor."
Huo Jinxi glanced at her again, "Who is the traitor to catch?"
"What are you doing?" Mu Qian raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him, "Are you guilty?"
Huo Jinxi was used to her troublemaking methods and had already learned to be calm.
"Oh, that person is lucky." Mu Qian sighed deliberately and said, "I haven't been caught..."
Huo Jinxi put down the album in his hand and walked directly towards Mu Qian.
Mu Qian immediately jumped to the side, "What are you doing? You have to kill someone to silence you if you haven't caught it?"
Huo Jinxi reached out to pinch her wrist and said only: "I have to eat if I haven't caught it."
It turned out that it was an appointment for her to have dinner. Mu Qian sighed slightly and said, "I want to eat people today."
As a result, Huo Jinxi did not take her to eat, but instead took her to eat a completely contrary vegetarian diet.
But this vegetarian restaurant feels familiar from the entrance.
The restaurant is in a very pure Chinese style, quiet and delicate, with a huge courtyard leading to a lively water, flowing water, distributed along the stream, and there are only four or five private rooms in total.
After entering the private room, I found that there was a huge floor-to-ceiling window in the private room. Outside the window, the lake, and the mountains and forests are all in my eyes.
Mu Qian looked at the clear water outside the window, and suddenly, she finally remembered something.
There is no landscape in the suburbs of Tongcheng. This vast landscape is completely artificially created. Because of its grand scenery, it has become a place that celebrities in the city flock to when they open.
The restaurant opened in 2010, at the beginning of the year when she left Tongcheng.
As soon as it opened, the restaurant received extensive reports from many magazines and media, and it was very popular. You have to book at least three months in advance before you can enter and experience it.
One night that year, she picked up a magazine in the Huo family's restaurant. She was attracted by the beautiful scenery in the photo, so she stood by the dining table and started reading.
When Huo Jinxi came back, she was watching it in a daze.
She had always been very sensitive to his footsteps, but this time, she did not suddenly come back to her senses until he walked behind her and turned to look at him.
Huo Jinxi glanced at her, reached out and took the magazine in her hand, "What are you looking at so fascinating?"
"Nothing." Mu Qian said, "I'm just fun."
However, Huo Jinxi had already read the contents of the magazine's inner page with a glance, glanced at her, "Want to go?"
Mu Qian pursed her lips and subconsciously wanted to deny it, but she suddenly realized that Huo Jinxi's words were likely to be... taking her to this place?
In this way, wouldn’t it be considered a...date?
This perception made Mu Qian excited in an instant. She forced herself to take back what she had originally planned to say, nodded, and said "yes".
Huo Jinxi looked at her quietly for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "Well, then I'll think of a solution."
"If you treat me to dinner..." Her heart thumped, and she almost held her breath, "Then I'll invite you to the movie."
Huo Jinxi raised his eyebrows slightly, "What movie is watching?"
She almost didn't think about it and blurted out: "The Story of Hachiko, the Loyal Dog, is very good-looking and touching."
But as soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a little regretful-
Will he like to watch this type of movie?
However, Huo Jinxi seemed to have given her enough tolerance and pampered. He did not question anything and just said, "Then let's make up."
She was so happy that she couldn't control herself. She stood on tiptoe and kissed him quickly on the corner of her lips.
However, she soon discovered that the movie "Haki Hachiko" was not released in China.
She thought, it doesn't matter, she will pick a movie at that time, and he should also like it very much.
So she was still waiting for his date until May, until her birthday, and left Tongcheng.
Just like that movie that was not released, this date has not happened after all.
Now, nearly eight years have passed, and this date that I thought had disappeared in the past years has come true.
It has been eight years since this restaurant is still here, and it is still a place that is hard to find.
And can she and him still return to what they were like?
Mu Qian stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the landscape in front of her for a long time, and finally looked back at Huo Jinxi, "How did you think of this place?"
Huo Jinxi just took the hot towel handed by the waiter and was cleaning her hands. When she heard her words, she did not answer, but said, "Don't forget to invite me to the movie."
"Okay." Mu Qian said, "but, although this restaurant is still the same as before, there is no way to watch the movie that was originally agreed upon."
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi did not express any comments.
The meal was quite pleasant. Although it was all vegetarian, it was very delicate and delicious. Except for the time of serving too slowly and the portions of each dish were too small - a vegetarian meal made it a French style.
Mu Qian thought that the reason why the process of eating was so slow was probably because those who would come here to eat were people with this leisure and leisure. It was also in line with the mood when they were waiting for the meal.
It’s a pity that she has something to do in her heart. When she calms down, she will inevitably think of Ye Xi.
She was worried about the situation on Ye Xi's side, and she seemed a little absent-minded.
"Isn't the food delicious?" She was probably distracted a little, and Huo Jinxi suddenly asked.
Mu Qian came to her senses and curled her lips, "It's so expensive and not delicious, I also say it's delicious. I'm just thinking about what movie to watch later."
Huo Jinxi glanced at her without expressing her opinion.
When he left the restaurant and before getting in the car, Mu Qian finally couldn't help calling Ye Xi.
Ye Xi seemed to be waiting for the phone call. As soon as the phone rang, she immediately answered it.
Mu Qian realized something almost immediately, "He hasn't come back yet?"
Ye Xi's voice was very low, "He probably won't come back today."
Mu Qian glanced at Huo Jinxi who was already sitting in the car, "Do you want me to come and accompany you?"
"No need." Ye Xi said, "I will calmly think about everything, tomorrow... I will explain everything to him clearly. This is the last time, absolutely the last time."
After hearing this, Mu Qian felt relieved.
