In the evening, the candles were lit and the night market had just begun, but Qingfeng Restaurant closed early tonight. In Liu Qingxi's words, it was to give Su Ping'an a good break.
As soon as the door of the restaurant closed, things started to get busy inside. Two tables were put together, and soon all kinds of dishes were spread on the table. The aroma aroused greedy people, making people drool uncontrollably.
"Miss, the dishes are ready."
"Then everyone, please sit down!"
As Liu Qingxi opened his mouth, everyone sat down separately.
As the protagonist tonight, Su Ping'an naturally sat in the first place, then on the left were Liu Qingxi and the maid Huan'er, on the right were Uncle Fu and Xiao Fuzi, and opposite sat the little fox Feng Xiaomian and Er Er squatting on the ground.
A wolf and a dog.
"There are no outsiders here today, so let's all just be casual. First of all, let's drink the first glass of wine. Let's toast everyone to Su's safe return from the Wen Palace. The little girl does it first as a token of respect!"
Liu Qingxi stood up and raised his glass, speaking with a touch of playfulness, then looked at Su Pingan with a smile, and drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, looking extremely free and capable. It seemed that Su Pingan was not around during this period, and Liu Qingxi also recovered.
In the past, when I was in Qingyun County, I was supporting the whole restaurant by myself.
Looking at Su Ping'an like this, his eyes were filled with brilliance.
"good!"
Xiao Fuzi applauded first, and then everyone raised their glasses.
"You guys are really... I haven't been away for a long time, it's only been more than a month. As for you being so formal and serious, it makes me feel embarrassed."
Su Ping'an smiled and shook his head, but in the end he raised his glass and clinked it with everyone.
After a glass of wine, the atmosphere immediately became lively. As soon as he sat down, Xiao Fuzi kept asking: "Brother Su, please tell us quickly, what is it like in the Confucian Sage Wen Mountain? Is the test dangerous?
Isn’t it irritating?”
Seeing that everyone was looking over, especially Liu Qingxi who was looking at him with great interest, Su Ping'an became addicted to reading. He was not polite and started talking in a mellow tone as soon as he banged the table, "I'll tell you.
, the test in this Confucian Sage Wenshan Mountain was really more difficult and more dangerous than the last. I also tried my best to break through with all my wisdom and talent.
Passed four mountains.
Let’s talk about the ‘biography’ of the first mountain...”
Listening to Su Ping'an's wonderful speech, Xiao Fuzi and others were also fascinated, as if they were immersed in the scene.
Whenever Su Ping'an talks about thrilling places, they can't help but exclaim; when he talks about some strange places, everyone's eyes will shine...
Time flew by unknowingly while everyone was talking. By the time Su Ping'an finished telling the story of his mountain adventure, Uncle Fu and Xiao Fuzi had already drunk too much.
After sending away Lang Yi Quan, Little Fox and Huan'er and asking them to send Xiao Fuzi and Uncle Fu away, Liu Qingxi and Su Ping'an were the only ones left in the restaurant.
There was silence in the hall for a while. When Liu Qingxi looked up, she saw Su Ping'an looking at her with burning eyes. She immediately lowered her head in panic.
Su Pingan was moved for a moment, and couldn't help but take Liu Qingxi's hand and hold it in his palm.
Liu Qingxi subconsciously wanted to pull her hand away, but she felt Su Pingan's grip was tight. She only struggled for a moment and then gave up. Then she glanced at Su Pingan angrily, bit her lower lip and said coquettishly: "You are still such a rogue."
Su Ping'an grinned and said, "How about it? It must be very hard to run the restaurant by yourself during this period of time."
"Why are you talking about this just after you came back?"
Liu Qingxi was a little strange, because based on her understanding of Su Ping'an, the latter would usually not talk about such serious topics, but she still pulled her hair around her ears and replied: "Actually, it's okay, it's just a matter of time.
I started to feel a little uncomfortable. In the past, with you here, the books sold well, the stories were popular, and there were many fans and customers, so there was no need to worry at all.
But during the time when you were away, the manuscripts of Doupo that you left behind were able to support you at first, but then the popularity began to decline. Fortunately, it happened to be during the restaurant's essay competition, and many literary writers participated in the competition.
, with new stories to support me, I got through it smoothly.
Wen Liang, the owner of the Golden House Restaurant, suddenly came back a few days ago and brought back a new story. His story had a great impact on our business, so the number of customers has decreased recently.
But I believe that as long as the period of his new book is over, everything will be restored. Besides, aren't you coming back too?"
After Liu Qingxi finished speaking, she smiled. It seemed that after these days of training, she was no longer as fragile as before.
When Su Ping'an heard this, his brows sank slightly, and he felt a little uneasy.
Liu Qingxi already knew him very well. Seeing his worried expression, she couldn't help but hold his hand and asked, "What's wrong with you? You seem to be worried about something."
Su Ping'an was silent for a moment.
He thought for a moment that he would have to go to the border gate sooner or later. It would be better to say it earlier so that Liu Qingxi could be prepared, so he told Mr. Luo that he would go to the border gate for training in five days.
I told Liu Qingxi.
When Liu Qingxi heard this, her face changed slightly, "What, you are going to the border in five days?"
This time Liu Qingxi was no longer calm.
"I can't help it. Maybe I'm too good. An old man like Luo Lie can't stand how handsome and powerful I am, so he always thinks of ways to torment me. But don't worry, it will take three to five months at a time, and it will take a long time.
I should be able to come back in eight or nine months."
Su Ping'an was afraid that Liu Qingxi would be worried about his comfort, so he deliberately said in a relaxed tone, "And don't worry, I will also arrange it before I leave. I will try to write more of the story of 'Dou Po' during this period.
It is best to finish writing and then leave the manuscript for you to update slowly.
In addition, didn't you also sign two first-level town halls? I will teach them when I have time and help them change their ideas. Anyway, when you held an essay competition before, didn't you just use me as a reward? In this way
Just right.
After all these arrangements are made, Qingfeng Restaurant should be able to survive this period of time safely. If there are any more problems, you can also send me a message. In the worst case, I will write the story there and send it back to you.
Anyway, don’t worry, everything will be fine at Qingfeng Restaurant."
Seeing that Su Pingan was about to leave, but was still worried about Qingfeng Restaurant, Liu Qingxi felt even more sad for a moment, "I'm not worried about this, I'm worried about you..."
Liu Qingxi hesitated to speak, seeming a little embarrassed.
This was the first time she took the initiative to express her feelings.
When Su Pingan heard this, his heart softened, and then he couldn't help but hugged the beauty in front of him. The beauty was in his arms, but Su Pingan had no other thoughts. He could feel Liu Qingxi's concern for him, so he patted her gently.
He patted the beautiful woman on the back and said warmly: "Don't worry, I'll be fine. As long as you are waiting for me, I will definitely come back soon!"
The huge restaurant then gradually became quiet, and only the breathing of the two people sounded slightly, rising and falling together, and they were surprisingly harmonious.
At that moment, even the candlelight in the room seemed to become much gentler.
