Gu Chen, who was watching on the sidelines, couldn't help sighing: "Mengmeng's knife skills are really good!"
"That is." Zhu Mengying was quite proud, "I have lived alone for so many years."
Gu Chen grabbed the most important words in her words and chewed them carefully. Do you live "alone", so you haven't had any other boyfriends, right? The corners of Gu Chen's mouth curled up, and the cloud that had just been clouded in his heart was now cleared away.
The pork chops that have just been fried and poured with hot black pepper sauce are steaming. Zhu Meng brought the plate to the restaurant and carefully placed it in front of Gu Chen.
"Try it." Zhu Meng looked at him expectantly.
Gu Chen cut off a small piece, put it into his mouth with a fork, chewed it for a while, swallowed it, then stretched out his thumb and said with a smile: "It's delicious!"
Zhu Meng smiled with satisfaction and returned to the kitchen to continue cooking pasta. After waiting for the water to boil, put the cut vegetables into a large bowl, pour in the salad dressing and stir with your hands.
By the time Zhu Meng brought the finished Baked Cheese Noodles and Vegetable Salad to the table, the big plate of black pepper pork chops had already bottomed out.
"Are you so hungry?" Zhu Meng was surprised by Gu Chen's eating speed. She just had time to cook the noodles, and it seemed to her that it didn't take long for him to finish eating silently.
"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded, and then looked helplessly at the bowl of pasta that was full of cheese aroma.
"Here." Zhu Meng pushed the bowl in front of him, and kindly reminded: "Be careful of it being hot."
The moment Gu Chen's fork was about to touch the top, he paused again, raised his head to look at Zhu Meng, and asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"
Zhu Meng shook her head and said, "I'm not hungry yet."
Only then did Gu Chen safely roll up the noodles with a fork and stuff them into his mouth.
Zhu Meng sat opposite him, watching his eating with great interest, feeding a few mouthfuls of salad into her mouth from time to time.
It is rare to have such a harmonious atmosphere between the two, but it was abruptly broken by Zhu Meng's cell phone ringtone.
"Dad, what's the matter?" Zhu Meng asked after picking up the phone.
Gu Chen also stopped what he was doing and stared at her curiously.
"Blind date?" Because of surprise, Zhu Meng inadvertently raised her voice, and immediately realized what she said, and hurriedly looked at Gu Chen's expression. However, to her surprise, Gu Chen continued to eat noodles with his head down as if he hadn't heard it.
Fortunately, okay, he didn't have any major reactions. Zhu Meng heaved a sigh of relief, but felt a little sour - she was going on a blind date, yet he was still so calm.
After closing the line, Zhu Meng was worried about how to tell Gu Chen about leaving, but Gu Chen did not expect to speak first.
"Are you leaving?" he asked, his voice steady, as usual.
"En." Zhu Meng was grateful that he helped her solve the problem, and her tone of voice became lighter unconsciously when she answered.
"Okay." Gu Chen put down his fork, stood up, stared quietly at Zhu Meng for a moment, and said, "I'll see you off."
Zhu Meng instinctively wanted to refuse, after all, he was going on a blind date, and asking him to send her there was not very good. However, Gu Chen's eyes blocked her refusal in her throat.
Along the way, the two of them looked at each other again in silence.
Zhu Meng twisted her fingers, hesitating whether to say something, but Gu Chen looked at the front with a cold face and concentration, and had no intention of chatting at all.
Zhu Meng lost his courage in an instant, so he could only take out his mobile phone and play small games boringly.
The car stopped at the entrance of the hotel, Zhu Meng untied the belt completely, and said to Gu Chen: "Thank you." With a slight smile, she opened the door and got off the car.
Before he took two steps, there was a loud door slamming behind him. Zhu Meng looked back, and Gu Chen also got out of the car and walked towards her.
"What's wrong?" she asked. Probably because the expression on his face was too gloomy, and even her mood became tense.
"I'm curious," he took her hand and said slowly, the corners of his mouth curled up, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "What kind of person is your blind date?"
Zhu Meng was frightened by his sudden and treacherous expression, and unconsciously let him drag her to the hotel.
"How many sirs?" The enthusiastic waiter quickly greeted him.
"Looking for someone, Zhu Rong." Gu Chen spit out these words quickly.
After the waiter said a few words into the intercom, he immediately led them to the box.
Pushing open the door, Zhu Rong and the other two were sitting inside chatting, all three of them had smiles on their faces, no matter if they were sincere or not, at least they seemed to have a very harmonious atmosphere.
"Dad." Zhu Meng called out first.Zhu Rong was about to call her over, but saw Gu Chen standing beside her. Although he was surprised, after so many years of ups and downs in the business world, he had already cultivated the ability to disguise himself, and immediately restored the loving smile of his elders, and greeted Gu Chen: "Why is Xiao Chen here?"
"I happened to meet, so we came here together." Zhu Meng spoke before Gu Chen, holding his hand tightly, sending him a message.
Gu Chen looked down at her, but her eyes were not on him.
"Hmm." He responded in a low voice.
Zhu Rong naturally knew about Gu Chen's autism, so he didn't talk to him anymore, but let the two of them sit down, and was busy introducing Zhu Meng to the rest of the old and the young in this space.
"Mengmeng, this is your Uncle Zhao."
"Uncle Zhao." Zhu Meng called shyly.
The so-called "Uncle Zhao" also smiled and said: "The last time I met Mengmeng was still as big as holding her in my hand, and she grew into such a beautiful big girl in a blink of an eye."
Zhu Meng couldn't answer, just kept laughing.
"This is your Uncle Zhao's son, Zhao Jun, who is two years older than you." Zhu Rong looked at Zhao Jun with complete satisfaction in his eyes.
"Hello." Zhu Meng stretched out her hand generously, and the other party quickly took it, and politely replied "Hello".
"Where's this one? Won't you introduce us?" Uncle Zhao looked at Gu Chen who had been silently staring at the table, and asked curiously.
"Ah, he is my friend, his name is Gu Chen." Zhu Meng said, "But he is not very talkative, so you can ignore him." She said this first, in case the unsuspecting pair later If the father and son talk to him, if they are left out at that time, they will probably lose face.
Zhao Jun and his son nodded, and Zhu Rong asked for an order again.
"Are you hungry? Let's chat while eating."
?Because there are two elders, Zhu Meng's meal is a bit like sitting on pins and needles. However, her father kept bringing the topic to her and Zhao Jun, making her stop several times after every bite.
"I heard that Zhao Jun also came back from the United States? What a coincidence that our Mengmeng family is too! The two of them should have a lot in common!" Zhu Rong said.
"Which city was Mengmeng before?" Zhao Jun showed a little interest. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
