Why is my elf so weird?

Nearly two hours of movie time have passed. At this time, it is getting late, the sun is setting in the west, and the bright moon is rising in the sky. It is almost time for people to have dinner.

"Qianqu, what do you want to eat?"

Xin Yun glanced at the little hand holding her own, then raised her head and looked at Zhu Qianqu.

From the beginning of the movie to now, this girl has been holding Xin Yun's hand, and she seems to have no intention of letting go.

"Eh?"

Zhu Qianqu was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Xin Yun to ask her this question.

After reacting, Zhu Qianqu shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, no, no, I'll just go home and cook."

"That's right. It's already dinner time. It's outside anyway, so there's no need to go to too much trouble. I'll treat you."

Yes, when going out to play with friends, you must follow a certain process, including shopping, movies, and meals.

Ok?

Wait, are you sure you are hanging out with friends? Rather than the process of dating a couple?

Xin Yun, who didn't notice this at all, saw that Zhu Qianqu still didn't give an answer, so she proposed the all-purpose option: "How about hot pot?"

"okay……"

Because it was the first time to hang out with friends and the first time to eat outside, Zhu Qianqu didn't have any independent plans. Since Xin Yun recommended having hot pot together, he agreed.

Anyway, as long as I eat with Xin Yun...

Xin Yun took Zhu Qianqu's hand and came to a hot pot restaurant that seemed to be very busy. The waiter warmly welcomed her to a table for two.

Because they were facing each other, Zhu Qianqu had no choice but to let go of Xin Yun's hand and sit across from him.

Is your reluctant expression really right?

Xin Yun knew that it was Zhu Qianqu's first time eating hot pot outside, and he would not order food at a hot pot restaurant, so Xin Yun opened the menu and planned to order first, and then refill Zhu Qianqu's food.

"Boy, our store is currently holding an event."

The smiling waiter saw Xin Yun starting to order, and began to recommend Xin Yun and Zhu Qianqu.

"For this holiday, our store has launched a couple's package, which is affordable and very suitable for two people."

"Love...love...couple?"

Zhu Qianqu's face suddenly turned red, and he felt as if steam was coming out of his forehead.

"Well, we are not a couple...just friends..." Xin Yun rubbed her temples helplessly and tried to explain to the clerk.

"Well, I understand."

The clerk still had a smile on his face. As he spoke, he pulled out the couple's set meal on the menu and pointed it to Xin Yun.

What on earth do you understand!

Helplessly, I followed the waiter's hand to look at the menu and briefly browsed the set menu.

Indeed, it is very affordable, about a hundred yuan cheaper than a la carte.

Okay, just ignore the couples package and so on...

"This is the set meal." Xin Yun took a pen and ticked the box next to the set meal.

Next, it’s time to order the bottom of the pot.

"Qianqu, do you like spicy food?"

“Couple package…”

"Huh? Qianqu?"

"With Yun... Couple package..."

"Qianqu? Can you hear me?"

"Couple...ah? Listen...can you hear..."

After Xin Yun called out three times in a row, Zhu Qianqu finally recovered and nodded to Xin Yun with reddened cheeks.

"Do you eat spicy food?" Xin Yun asked Zhu Qianqu, who had returned to normal, the question just now.

"Spicy...I can't eat spicy..."

"That's right, I understand."

It just so happened that Xin Yun couldn’t eat spicy food either.

It's quite outrageous. Xin Yun is like a freak in the old Xin family. His grandfather, his father, his sister, and his aunt are all spicy eaters, the kind who can't live without eating chili peppers. But when it came to him, he became completely unable to accept chili peppers...

But that’s fine too.

Putting a hook on the bottom of the bone soup pot, Xin Yun handed the menu to the waiter.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The waiter put a smile on his face, took the menu and left.

"Qianqu, just sit here for a while, and I'll get the seasoning."

After saying something to Zhu Qianqu, Xin Yun stood up and walked to the seasoning area.

Zhu Qianqu looked at Xin Yun's back and was stunned for a moment. After she came to her senses, she quickly patted her hot cheek, trying to wake herself up.

What on earth are you thinking about?

But...but, being with Yun will make you feel at ease...

No, no, we are friends! are friends!

"Qianqu?"

After finishing mixing the seasonings, Xin Yun placed one of the seasonings in front of Zhu Qianqu, looking at Zhu Qianqu who shook his head desperately and his face became increasingly red, and shouted with some confusion.

"Ah! I'm fine!"

Zhu Qianqu answered Xin Yun in a loud voice.

All of a sudden, the entire store's attention shifted to Zhu Qianqu and Xin Yun.

It was better now. Zhu Qianqu's face turned even redder and turned into a ripe apple. You could still vaguely see the steam coming out of his head.

Throughout the meal, Zhu Qianqu ate absentmindedly.

Her mind was confused, she didn't know what she was thinking, and she couldn't concentrate.

Hot pot...very delicious...

Hairy tripe...very delicious...

Duck blood...very delicious...

Rhyme...very good...

?

Zhu Qianqu felt that he was possessed by an evil spirit. No matter what he thought about, he would always think of Xin Yun.

After finishing dinner, Zhu Qianqu immediately held Xin Yun's hand and followed him with his head lowered.

Looking at the shy girl next to her, Xin Yun smiled helplessly.

Maybe he was shy because he was mistaken for a couple... This is very embarrassing.

Xin Yun had no intention of saying goodbye just like that. It was rare to give herself a day off, so of course she had to relax more.

But what to do next?

While walking aimlessly along the snack street of the shopping mall with Zhu Qianqu, Xin Yun's eyes fell on a milk tea shop.

Yes, milk tea!

Girls all like to drink milk tea, right? Why didn't I think of that?

"Qianqu, wait for me here."

Xin Yun led Zhu Qianqu to a bench aside and sat down, and Xin Yun said to Zhu Qianqu.

Zhu Qianqu nodded, and Xin Yun quickly walked to the milk tea shop.

Looking at Xin Yun walking away, Zhu Qianqu's chest felt tight for some reason.

Sure enough, as soon as I left Xin Yun, my sense of security disappeared...

But, is it an illusion?

Zhu Qianqu didn't want to leave Xin Yun.

Sitting quietly on the bench and waiting, Zhu Qianqu's slightly melancholy face looked even more beautiful under the dim light of the street lights next to the bench.

This place is quite deserted in the entire snack street. At this time, no one is even coming and going.

Zhu Qianqu, who looks weak, pitiful and helpless, is like a piece of honey placed in an open space, attracting some blind men with evil intentions.

"Oh, my little sister is so beautiful."

Look, there is a blind bear staring at her.

A man with yellow hair and a ruffian look walked up to Zhu Qianqu.

"Why, sitting here alone? How about I accompany you?"
