The president always wants to steal my sweet potato

Let her focus be diverted to other places for the time being so that she can forget the bad mood of losing the grasshopper.

And he will go and find it for her himself.

When I find it, I'll give her a surprise.

If you really can't find it, then buy her another one and then pretend to have found it and give it to her.

Although he knew she would probably guess it, he wanted to give it to her in a way that would not be easy to guess.

In short, no matter what, she must not be left with any regrets.

He guided her gently, saying, "I know a new restaurant just opened on South Street. Do you want to try it?"

Hearing this, Mu Yaqi's eyes lit up with some interest, and she looked at him: "New restaurant?"

Lu Chengfeng nodded: "Well, do you want to go and have a look?"

Mu Yaqi rolled her eyes, thought for a moment, then looked at him again and asked, "Has it just opened?"

Lu Chengfeng nodded: "Yeah."

After getting the answer, Mu Yaqi's interest obviously increased. She then asked, "Is it delicious?"

Lu Chengfeng said honestly: "I haven't tried it, but I heard from other customers that it tastes good."

Lu Chengfeng knew that she liked lively places, so he added, "Besides, there are quite a lot of people there now, so it should be very lively."

Mu Yaqi was successfully moved by what he said. Although she lost the straw grasshopper, she went to watch the fun and have a big meal to make up for it, which seemed pretty good, right?

Thinking of this, she curled the corners of her lips slightly, looked at him with a smile and said, "Okay, let's go and take a look!"

Lu Chengfeng smiled and replied, “Yeah.”

......

Xunxianglai restaurant.

When the two of them arrived at the new restaurant, as soon as they entered the door, a doorman came to guide them with a smile. Mu Yaqi took Lu Chengfeng to find a seat against the wall, because the other seats in the middle were large tables, and there were only two of them, so sitting at a large table would be a bit too conspicuous.

But the main reason was that Mu Yaqi wanted to come and watch the fun and didn't want to be the one watching the fun. Besides, it was easier to get a general view of the situation from the table against the wall.

After a while, another waiter came and waited for their order.

Mu Yaqi and Lu Chengfeng sat opposite each other, and the menu was on Mu Yaqi's side. Mu Yaqi picked up the menu and ticked a few items, then handed it to Lu Chengfeng and said, "Can you take a look at these? If you want to eat something, tick some more."

Lu Chengfeng took it and glanced at it casually. There weren’t many dishes, but they were enough for the two of them. The amount was just enough for them to finish or only a little bit was left.

Lu Chengfeng raised his eyes and glanced at her. Mu Yaqi held her cheeks with both hands and looked at him with a smile on her face. When she saw him looking at her, she slightly widened her eyes and responded to him: "Hmm?"

Lu Chengfeng smiled, then handed the menu to the waiter and said thank you politely.

The waiter also took the menu with a friendly smile and said politely, "You're welcome, handsome boy."

After the waiter left, Mu Yaqi put down her hand that was supporting her cheek, and repeated with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes: "You're welcome, handsome boy."

Lu Chengfeng sighed helplessly and said, "Xiaoxue, stop making trouble."

Mu Yaqi thought to herself, "I won't." She raised her head and asked proudly, "Aren't you a handsome boy?"

Lu Chengfeng pursed his lips and said, “Since you asked me this, I can’t just say no.”

Mu Yaqi asked, "Then handsome boy, do you want to treat me to a meal?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "Since you call me handsome boy, of course I have to treat you."

Mu Yaqi smiled with satisfaction and stopped calling him "handsome boy" for the time being.

Mu Yaqi looked around and saw that the other guests were talking and laughing. In just a short while, she heard people cheering to celebrate the smooth progress of the project. Although she didn't quite understand what the word "project" meant, judging from their state, it should be a good thing.

She also saw a girl in her early twenties wearing a hat at another table talking to someone else with a unhappy expression. She listened carefully for a while and found out that the girl with a sad face was not satisfied with her new hairstyle.

She wanted to listen again, but she was already turned away when she heard Lu Chengfeng's voice: "What are you looking at so intently?"

Mu Yaqi turned around and looked at him, saying simply and clearly: "Just watching the fun."

Lu Chengfeng: “…”

Sometimes I really feel helpless.

His expression remained unchanged as he continued to ask, "So what excitement have you seen so far?"

Mu Yaqi told him about the two tables, the one who was not satisfied with his hair and the other who was very happy about the successful project negotiations.

She used a relatively quiet voice so that people at other tables wouldn't hear it, only the two of them could hear it.

After listening to her, Lu Chengfeng nodded in agreement and praised her again, saying, "Not bad, you've already seen two excitements before the dishes are even served."

Mu Yaqi said proudly: "That is~"

Lu Chengfeng said: "But the phrase 'watch the fun' is not used like this."

Mu Yaqi scratched her nose and asked in confusion: "How can it be used? It's quite lively here, and they are quite lively too. If I see them having fun, isn't it called watching the fun?"

Lu Chengfeng said, "Your explanation is not wrong. 'Watching the fun' is a neutral word. So in most cases, people usually judge whether a person's 'watching the fun' is a compliment or a derogatory word based on the tone of voice. Like what you just said, although the tone is very plain, it is inevitable that people will think too much about it."

Mu Yaqi said: "Oh, what should I say?"

Lu Chengfeng coughed lightly and said, "I don't know for now, so we can choose not to say it."

Mu Yaqi pouted and said, "Okay."

Seeing her like this, Lu Chengfeng leaned forward slightly, moved closer to her, and whispered, "We can choose not to tell others, but when we are all family, we can also whisper, just like you just told me quietly when you saw something exciting, that's a good thing. So I want to say that you actually did a good job, but I can't help but want to tell you again, please don't think I'm nagging."

Mu Yaqi pursed her lips and said, "But you are really long-winded."

Lu Chengfeng pursed his lips and smiled, then pretended to be pitiful and said, "Do you dislike my nagging?"

Mu Yaqi said honestly: "Actually, there is a little bit, but who makes me kind, I tolerate you reluctantly."

Lu Chengfeng smiled and cooperated with her: "Our Xiaoxue is the kindest."

Mu Yaqi shook her head proudly.

Then, another waiter came and pushed a food cart over, served their dishes one by one, then looked at them both with a smile in her eyes and said politely, "Please enjoy your meal."

After speaking, he left.

After the person left, Mu Yaqi said, "She is so polite."

Hearing this, Lu Chengfeng said, "People should be like this. Politeness should be a person's most basic accomplishment."

Mu Yaqi pouted, looking a little unhappy: "Really?"

Lu Chengfeng nodded and said, "Well, what's the matter?"

Mu Yaqi asked, "Then do you think the waiter who brought the menu just now was polite?"

Lu Chengfeng asked again: "What do you think?"

Mu Yaqi didn't fall for his trick and threw the question back to him, asking, "Do you think she called you handsome boy as a compliment or a polite gesture, or did she say it on purpose to be impolite?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "Even though we should be wary of strangers, we should also think on the bright side. I don't know what the waitress meant, but I will probably never have any contact with her in the future, and she can't influence me, so I'm willing to believe that she meant it as a polite gesture when she said 'handsome boy'."

Mu Yaqi looked dazed and said, "Oh~"

Seeing this, Lu Chengfeng sighed helplessly, not knowing whether she had listened to him or not.

After a pause, he added, "Also, the phrase you just mentioned, 'intentionally saying that but actually meaning it to be rude', can be replaced by some words like 'tease' or 'irony'. You will learn this word in the future, but since you just mentioned it, I will explain it to you first."

Mu Yaqi nodded as if she understood something.

Seeing her like this, Lu Chengfeng felt that she seemed smarter than before, so she must have heard it.

I couldn't help but sigh briefly in my heart, it's really difficult to take care of children.

But since it was her, he was happy to take her with him.

Mu Yaqi urged him, "Eat quickly, it shouldn't be too hot now."

Lu Chengfeng nodded and said, "Okay."

Mu Yaqi tasted them one by one.

Jade lobster dipped in garlic, mmm, delicious!

Garlic pork ribs, mmm, delicious!

Stir-fried seasonal vegetables, mmm, delicious!

Seeing that she was still eating garlic, Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but say, "Garlic can be considered a seasoning, but if you eat too much, it will be spicy. You can try eating more main dishes."

Mu Yaqi waved her hand and said casually: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Lu Chengfeng responded: "Okay."

This time, Mu Yaqi took a bite of the cheese baked pumpkin. It was not spicy, but had a sweet taste with a rich milky aroma and a smooth texture.

Mu Yaqi asked: "If I feel spicy, will you give me some water?"

Lu Chengfeng replied: “Yes.”

Mu Yaqi asked curiously, "Don't you think it's hypocritical?"

Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, "No, it's just pouring a glass of water, it's nothing."

He said the second half of the sentence silently in his heart: Besides, that person is you.

The next second, Mu Yaqi asked, "Nothing? If it was someone else, would you also pour it?"

Lu Chengfeng was slightly startled when he heard this, and then said, "No."

If I tell her, she will definitely make a fuss again.

Mu Yaqi raised her eyebrows: "Why?"

She didn't believe it.

Lu Chengfeng said directly: "I don't want to."

Cut off the possibility of her continuing to ask.

And other people basically don't need his help.

The only person who can make him work wholeheartedly is Mu Yaqi.

Mu Yaqi just happened to not like servants or nannies to accompany her. She said that those people were dull and unfun.

Mu Yaqi puffed up her cheeks, as if she understood what he said. After two seconds, she said, "Okay."
