The two of them strolled around for a long time, and it wasn't until lunch time that Qiao Yi finally expressed his gratitude to Zhou Bin and the others and invited him to dinner.
Zhou Bin repeatedly refused, but in the end, he was still unable to overcome Qiao Yi's embarrassment, and so he chose a place to eat lunch together with him.
"Mi Jia Restaurant."
Zhou Bin drove the car into an alley, and after driving for around 10 minutes, the car finally stopped outside a wooden gate. The gate only had these four big words on it, and it seemed like it was quite old.
Qiao Yi read out these four words, then laughed: "This restaurant is really remote, do you have any customers coming?"
The body of Zhou Bin who was leading the way slightly tilted, and quickly returned back to normal.
Lu Jingyun embraced Qiao Yi and explained. The aroma was not afraid of the alleyway being too deep. I think this restaurant too."
Qiao Yi nodded. Yeah, I heard people say that a lot of delicious dishes are unknown, so this restaurant probably has the same intention. Ai, Brother Zhou, how did you find this restaurant? "How's the taste?"
"En..." I've been here with friends, and it tastes good. Miss Qiao will know when we taste it."
She felt that Zhou Bin was being too courteous, and privately, she suspected that Lu Jingyun did not have as good a relationship as she said, that Zhou Bin would soften his heart and feel embarrassed to refuse Lu Jingyun's request.
That was why Qiao Yi wanted to invite Zhou Bin out for a meal. At the very least, he shouldn't let others say that their small place was impolite.
The three of them walked into the courtyard. After passing through a few archways, they arrived at the main hall of the restaurant. Qiao Yi observed and curiously said that this house was not small either.
When Qiao Yi and Lu Jingyun walked in, Zhou Bin who was in front of them seemed to have already gone in. He brought the two of them to the private box.
Qiao Yi was still wondering why there was no waiter to lead the way, but after he sat down, he explained with a smile.
"I've already made a call and booked this room. I come here often, so I don't need them to lead the way. This is the menu. You can take a look at what you want to order."
Qiao Yi looked at the menu, then handed the mission of ordering over to Lu Jingyun, he knew about her taste anyways.
"Brother Zhou, order whatever you like. We, the husband and wife, want to treat you to a meal. Thank you for your help."
"There's no need to be courteous, just let Jingyun help me out." Zhou Bin poured tea for Qiao Yi and the others, and laughed.
Qiao Yi nodded, and quickly accepted the tea. He was puzzled, why was Brother Zhou used to be a waiter before? Pour tea so smoothly?
After choosing his dishes, Zhou Bin immediately took the menu and walked out, saying that he had gone to the washroom.
"Hubby, are you really good friends with Brother Zhou? Are you really that familiar? Why is Brother Zhou so weird and polite to me? It can't be that you called him here brazenly, right? "
After Zhou Bin left, Qiao Yi immediately expressed his doubt and uneasiness, and hoped that he could explain it to her.
Lu Jingyun's expression became a little more serious, but reality made him sigh.
"Yi Yi, actually ..." Zhou Bin doesn't feel too good in his heart."
"Huh?" Is there a problem?
"I do know him very well, and we are good friends. But if he's not being polite or anything like this, he's just not really interacting with people. He's always like this for people who aren't very familiar with him."
"Is that his problem? Isn't that too exaggerated? "
"It's not an exaggeration. He's actually very troubled personally, but there's no helping it, he's just like this. Perhaps, it was too late ... He'll be better off if he gets to know you better in five or six years."
"Five or six years? "Then how long have you known him?"
"Six years. You see how he treats me now. It's much better than before." Lu Jingyun's expression carried a tinge of sadness.
"This... I feel really helpless." Qiao Yi expressed a sigh. Thinking about how the world was filled with wonders, Zhou Bin probably lacked a sense of security.
As for Zhou Bin, who passed him a list of dishes but was still lingering outside and did not dare to return, he was completely unaware of the sickly condition in his heart that Lu Jingyun had pushed onto him.
"Zhou Bin, it has been a while since Young Master Lu came. Our Chef Yang even said that he was going to meet the Young Master Lu. When his box was always empty, Chef Yang even said that he misses Young Master Lu."
The manager of the restaurant was chatting with Zhou Bin outside. He was curious about Zhou Bin's previous request to not show his face." Oh right, what kind of friends did Young Master Lu bring this time? "So mysterious?"
Zhou Bin opened his mouth, as though he really wanted to share this explosive news with the others, but in the end, he could only close it gloomily.
"Don't ask anymore, and don't be curious. Young Master Lu doesn't want others to know about it."
"Understood, understood." The restaurant manager immediately nodded his head, indicating that he would never be curious.
"Chef Yang also told him not to go. This time, Young Master Lu followed ... A friend just wants to have a quiet meal, and no one else is allowed to show up."
"Ok, ok, I will tell Chef Yang."
After that, when the dishes were ready to be served, Zhou Bin really didn't want to enter the room, but there was nothing he could do. Zhou Bin could only bite the bullet and return to the private box.
When Zhou Bin returned to the private box, he saw a trace of sympathy and love in Qiao Yi's eyes. Other than doubt, he was trembling with fear.
Lu Jingyun gave Qiao Yi a meaningful glance, which was probably true."You see, he is like that."
Qiao Yi blinked his eyes sympathetically, showing that he understood.
"Yi Yi, try this fish. It tastes very good." After Lu Jingyun shaved the fish bone, he placed it into Qiao Yi's bowl. It was extremely considerate, and with just a meal, he had pretty much given all the dishes into Qiao Yi's bowl, as if he was taking care of a child. As for Zhou Bin, because of Lu Jingyun's "consideration", he did not know what kind of meal or flavor he should have, and he was even more shocked to the point of indigestion.
After finishing his meal, Qiao Yi wanted to pay the bill, but Zhou Bin said that he had paid the bill.
"Brother Zhou, this really won't do, we agreed to treat you. How can I let you pay the bill? You've already helped us so much, so we can't let you pay." Qiao Yi was very persistent.
"Miss Qiao, I've already paid for it. You really don't need to pay anymore."
Qiao Yi frowned, and looked at Lu Jingyun.
Lu Jingyun looked at Zhou Bin."How about this? How much is it? We'll give you the money."
The corner of Zhou Bin's forehead twitched, and looking at Qiao Yi's extremely apologetic expression, he spoke while feeling conflicted. How much? It seems like ... Eyebrows... Three hundred? "
"Huh?" Qiao Yi said.
"No ..." "Two hundred." Zhou Bin hurriedly changed his words.
"No, Brother Zhou, don't change it. It's not that I'm over 300, I should have an invoice for our meal right? Whatever it is, just say it. Don't be embarrassed, also don't reduce it."
She was shocked because how much money was this? Why did Zhou Bin look so uncertain when he just paid the bill?
