Text 444. Food stall meets farce

"What's wrong?"

After Si Yan poured the tea and pushed one cup in front of her, he finally raised his head and glanced at her expression. When he saw the slight embarrassment on her face, he couldn't help but ask with concern in a low voice.

His voice is low and full of magnetism. People with weak resistance will easily fall into it.

Even someone like Jian Xiaoqi, who had been listening to it for more than 20 years, couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment. Then out of the corner of his eye, he saw people around him seeming to be whispering to them, and he suddenly woke up.

"Ah? Oh..."

But he still looked distracted and thoughtful.

Si Yan frowned, turned his eyes, and noticed the unwelcome glances around him. However, he did not say anything in a hurry, and still pushed the water to her.

"Drink some water first——"

Jian Xiaoqi stretched out her hands and just took it. She took a sip carefully and found that Si Yan also picked up another glass of water as if nothing had happened and drank it leisurely.

Jian Xiaoqi is still blaming herself for asking him to accompany her here for dinner, but it turns out that he doesn't seem to care about these looks at all?

But her thoughts were quickly interrupted by Si Yan, because he said: "Let's make a three-part agreement. Don't eat too much seafood. After eating it in a while, you are not allowed to eat it again at night!"

Jian Xiaoqi was stunned for three seconds. When she came to her senses, she didn't care about her previous emotions. Being restricted from eating seafood was the key point.

"Why? Aren't we coming to the beach just to eat seafood?"

Jian Xiaoqi was anxious. She thought they had reached a consensus. Unexpectedly, he actually said not to eat more! As a foodie who had been suppressed by morning sickness for a long time, Jian Xiaoqi felt that he was contrary to her own ideas.

"You came here just to eat seafood?" Si Yan took a sip of tea and looked at her faintly and asked. Then before she could react, he added another sentence.

"If I had known that this was the case, I should have reconsidered before leaving." After saying that, he frowned slightly, as if he regretted taking her out.

Jian Xiaoqi's head was full of black lines, and her interest in food was greatly reduced. Facing the lively seafood in the reservoir at the door, she suddenly felt uncertain about whether to choose...

What should I do? They all seem to be eaten!

After a long while, Jian Xiaoqi tugged on his sleeve and tried to discuss with him, "Can't we have a little more?" Even one more dish would be fine!

However, Si Yan only had a smile in his eyes. When hope gradually rose in her eyes, he slowly shook his head, "It can only be this, no more."

With one word, Jian Xiaoqi's head quickly pulled down.

When the dishes came, Jian Xiaoqi looked at the dishes and saw that there were only a few seafood dishes. Her face instantly fell down, "That's all..."

On the table, there was a plate of salt and pepper prawns, a plate of steamed fish, a dozen scallops, and of course the two light stir-fry dishes he specially ordered for her. However, is this enough for someone who has a seafood feast in mind?

The look in Jian Xiaoqi's eyes slowly dimmed. He looked so pitiful.

Seeing that she was not very interested, Si Yan couldn't help but get angry and laugh, "Don't you remember what mom told you? It's okay to eat a little of these seafood, but eating too much is not good for you..."

In order to make her give up the idea of ​​overeating, Si Yan rarely started to talk. Seeing that he was about to speak at length, Jian Xiaoqi quickly told him to stop.

"Okay, okay, stop talking, I already know it!"

Covering her ears, she didn't want to hear those words anymore. Her ears were getting calluses recently. Moreover, if he continued talking, she would lose interest in eating seafood in a while.

Si Yan:……

Fortunately, in order to compensate her, Si Yan ordered her another seafood porridge. This comforted Jian Xiaoqi, who was already a little depressed. She took advantage of her good appetite and ate the seafood porridge.

It’s so satisfying!

There were a lot of people in the food stall. Jian Xiaoqi and Si Yan arrived late, so they could only choose to sit near the door. This was a great advantage because she could see the street view clearly.

Of course, Jian Xiaoqi's main attention was focused on the seafood placed at the door, and her mind was already thinking about what to eat next.

Suddenly, out of sight from the door, there was a loud noise.

"You bitch, you're a useless thing, you can't do such a thing well, what use do I need from you?..."

This was a rough male voice, swearing at someone. Not only that, along with these ugly curses, there were also muffled sounds that sounded like being hit or kicked.

And, the woman's cry for mercy.

"I'm sorry, stop fighting, I'll change..."

Before Jian Xiaoqi could get a clue, Si Yan, who was sitting next to her, suddenly changed his expression, and a stern look suddenly appeared in his deep eyes.

However, it soon turned into a hint of ridicule, and the change here was almost completed in an instant, and Jian Xiaoqi was so fast that she didn't notice it at all.

"Huh? There's actually someone fighting here?"

Jian Xiaoqi spent most of this time in the office at work, not having any fun at all and was very bored, so it was a rare opportunity to directly gossip, and she was immediately curious.

This is a street, with so many tourists and pedestrians coming and going. If something like this happens, it will definitely cause a commotion.

Sure enough, many people in the store stretched out their heads to look out curiously. Jian Xiaoqi's table was about to pay the bill. The landlady saw that she was also sticking her head out, so she said something casually.

"Hey, who is this? People doing business on the street don't pay attention to their image. No wonder that shop is about to close. Who dares to eat at their house..."

Jian Xiaoqi immediately heard the drama and couldn't help but ask, "Do they also have a seafood restaurant?"

It was so fast that Si Yan couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.

Seeing that she was really curious, the lady boss who collected the money explained it with a bit of schadenfreude.

"Isn't that right? Foreigners came to our area to open a seafood restaurant, but they didn't work hard. They drank, smoked, and gambled every day, and beat their wives at every turn. They just ruined our brand!..."

Jian Xiaoqi didn't pay attention to what the landlady said later, but she made a new discovery.

She always felt that the crying female voice seemed a bit familiar, but for a while she couldn't remember who it was. So, the beautiful and beautiful girl frowned, and her brain tried hard to remember who it was...

Not only that, she also asked the people around her, "Si Yan, do you think this voice is familiar?"

Si Yan did not answer, or in other words, she had already heard it before Si Yan could stop her from thinking about it. However, Jian Xiaoqi was obviously a little surprised by this result, and opened her mouth in disbelief.

"No, it can't be? How could it be her?"

Chen Bi!

Jian Xiaoqi finally felt that the voice was familiar. Isn't this Chen Bi who was once hostile to her and collaborated with Weng Yawen to frame her?

But isn't she in jail? How could she be released so soon?

She was just about to ask Si Yan for confirmation. At this moment, the sound from the store door became louder, mixed with Chen Bi's voice begging for mercy, "Stop fighting, please don't fight..."

No wonder Jian Xiaoqi didn't recognize it for a while. Chen Bi, whom she hadn't seen for several months, had an obvious hoarseness in her voice, as if her throat had been dry for a long time.

If it were normal times, Jian Xiaoqi would definitely sympathize with such a woman. But if the other party is Chen Bi, it is a completely different matter.

Thinking of the harm she had done to herself, Jian Xiaoqi pursed her lips, frowned tightly, and had a serious expression on her face. She even confirmed with Si Yan, "Are you sure she was sentenced? Why?

She also..."

Si Yan knew that she was remembering those unpleasant things, and he also knew what she wanted to ask. The entire Chu family had collapsed. How did Chen Bi, who had lost his support, come out?

Regarding this, Si Yan did know something inside, but he didn't want to tell her. Because in his opinion, even if Chen Bi had the ability, he would never be the same as before.

But he didn't expect to meet them here!

Si Yan didn't answer, but Jian Xiaoqi mistakenly thought that he didn't know either. In order to avoid him blaming himself, she had to keep silent about it. However, she still wanted to go out and take a look.

"etc!"

When Si Yan saw that she was about to go out, he immediately stopped her and said, "No matter why she appears here, it doesn't affect us. You've been playing for a long time, it's time to go back and take a rest."

Compared to Jian Xiaoqi's own lack of sadness, he was really worried about her current state. What's more, she actually wanted to watch the fun with her big belly? And for her, that person was in danger of counterattack at any time?

"I just stood at the door and took a look..."

Jian Xiaoqi tried to negotiate terms, but the two stood there in a stalemate.

Unexpectedly, the farce of the quarrel next door became more and more intense, and a tourist shouted: "I'm beating someone, why don't I call the police? I'm beating him again..."

As soon as she said these words, Chen Bi could be heard crying louder, and there was great panic in her cries. It was obvious that her husband had done something more serious.

Chen Bi was embarrassed to avoid being chased by her drunken husband, crying and cursing as she ran, "You heartless..." completely subverting her previous clean and tidy image.

When passing by the food stall where Jian Xiaoqi and the others were standing, Chen Bi inadvertently looked up because Jian Xiaoqi's gaze was too direct. As a result, she saw Jian Xiaoqi!

Jian Xiaoqi saw fear and panic on Chen Bi's face, and at the same time, she also discovered that Chen Bi's first reaction was not to vent her anger towards herself, but to look around for something in a panic.

What are you looking for?

Jian Xiaoqi suddenly realized that she was looking for Si Yan! And judging from Chen Bi's reaction, she seemed to be afraid of seeing Si Yan? Sure enough, the next second, Chen Bi's reaction confirmed her guess.

"..."

Chen Bi didn't say anything, but the moment she saw Si Yan, all the color on her face disappeared, as if her soul had been ripped out of her. Her face was horribly pale, and her whole body was shaking like a sieve.

Then, ignoring her drunkard husband who was chasing her all the way, she turned around and ran back...

Then, Chen Bi was caught by her husband, who kicked and punched her for a while, but Chen Bi just held her head and did not dare to look up again.
Chapter completed!
