Qiao Mingduan drove very steadily, and his personality was similar.

It was still early at this time, it was not yet nine o'clock at night, but during the Spring Festival, S City became an empty city. Even though the time was right, there were no people on the street.

Qiao Xi was no longer angry, but her complexion was still bad, she looked out of the car window with calm eyes, and asked Qiao Mingduan, "Where are you going?"

Qiao Mingduan said: "Take a stroll in the city and see where there is food."

Qiao Xi was very surprised, and looked at him with an expression of "Are you kidding me?": "Didn't you just eat it?"

Qiao Mingduan took it for granted, "I didn't feel full just now."

Qiao Xi was about to get angry again: "Why don't you eat enough?"

Qiao Mingduan couldn't help complaining about him: "Why are you so bad-tempered, I want to save my stomach and go out to find some snacks, can't I?"

Qiao Xi said: "But I was the host just now, if you don't eat enough, it means that I didn't entertain well."

Qiao Mingduan didn't show his usual courtesy and thoughtfulness in front of him at all: "You haven't treated well in the first place, so following you might as well go out to find something to eat and have fun by yourself."

Qiao Xi said angrily: "Then you can come to the city to play by yourself, why call me here."

Qiao Ming glanced at him with a smile, and said: "The old man said let me see how you are doing in City S. In our generation, there are not many brothers and sisters. As the eldest brother, I have the obligation to inspect you. You are close. We are a family and are related by blood, which is different from other people. As a family, only when we are united can we have a harmonious family and everything will be prosperous."

Qiao Xi suddenly felt strange, and understood what Qiao Mingduan meant by asking him to play with him—it seemed that he wanted to examine his own way of life and entertainment. Fortunately, he was upright and not afraid of crooked shadows, so he didn't take him to be involved in pornography and drugs Gambling involved, otherwise it would be bad.

Qiao Xi said unhappily, "Are you playing with me on purpose?"

Qiao Ming smiled: "Can I apologize? I'll treat you to dinner."

"I was full just now, what else can you treat me to?" Qiao Xi said.

"I don't know, just go and eat if there is something delicious on the side of the road." Qiao Mingduan replied casually.

Qiao Xi frowned and said, "Why eat from a roadside stall? It's very unhygienic."

"Eat it once or twice and you won't die. We are trying to understand the people's sentiments." Qiao Mingduan said.

Qiao Xi thought to herself that you played with me once just now, it would be strange to trust you again this time.

Qiao Mingduan drove around the city for 10 to [-] minutes, and finally found a place to eat——in an alley facing the street, there were many people sitting and eating by the street, which seemed to be barbecue.

Qiao Mingduan parked the car on the side of the street where parking was available across the alley.His two bodyguards also stopped the car, and seeing Qiao Mingduan dragging the reluctant Qiao Xi across the zebra crossing into the alley, they quickly followed.

Qiao Xi's outfit is really different from ordinary people. He is a handsome guy with delicate features, but he has long hair, wears a white sweater and an army green windbreaker, is tall and has long legs, and has a stern expression, much like a maverick model.

When he appeared outside the barbecue restaurant, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant, including the owner, waiters and customers.

Qiao Xi hated others looking at him, so she became more expressionless and silent.

Qiao Mingduan saw the delicious food, so he threw the cousin aside, asked the waiter to help arrange a table for four people, and went to the barbecue grill to check the situation of the store.

The store owner was a fat man. Seeing that Qiao Mingduan had a gentle face, but he was dressed in extraordinary clothes, he said, "My fish and meat are all very fresh. They are brought back in the morning and processed in the afternoon. I will make the stall in the evening and finish it." Just close the stall."

Qiao Ming laughed and said, "It's really good. It's only the third day of the Lunar New Year, and your family has started a business. We searched a lot before we found it. It seems that luck is not bad, and we have a lot of food."

The waiter in the store set up a simple table for the two brothers of the Qiao family and the two bodyguards in the alley, with a stool for each. A bodyguard wiped down the table again before waiting for Qiao Ming to sit down.

Qiao Mingduan was ordering food by the grill, and he ordered a lot, then turned around and asked Qiao Xi and the two bodyguards loudly: "What do you want to eat, come and add some food."

Qiao Xi told Xiao An, Qiao Mingduan's bodyguard, "Go and see what you want, I don't need it."

Xiao An is a very taciturn person, and replied: "Okay."

He went to follow Qiao Mingduan, and just ordered some casually. Qiao Mingduan said, "Do you eat so little?"

Xiao An replied in front of him: "I have eaten just now, I can't eat anything now."

Qiao Mingduan didn't say anything now, sat back in his seat, and ordered a few more cans of draft beer. The two bodyguards wanted to drive without drinking because of their professionalism. Qiao Xi saw that the beer cans might not be clean, frowned and shook his head and said : "I don't drink."

Qiao Mingduan saw that he had an episode of cleanliness, so he took a tissue from Xiao'an's hand, wiped the beer can carefully, and put it in front of Qiao Xi, who had no choice but to drink the beer.

Qiao Mingduan said: "I remember that you had serious cleanliness when you were a child, why is it not better now?"

Qiao Xi frowned and said, "It doesn't affect life, besides, people should pay attention to hygiene."

Qiao Ming laughed: "Why doesn't it affect your life, and you are paying too much attention to hygiene, your body will lack the resistance to fight against the harsh environment because you have been living in an environment that is too clean."

No matter whether his words are right or not, Qiao Xi doesn't want to talk to him.

The store brought up the barbecue they ordered, such as grilled pork belly, grilled steak meat, grilled spicy beef, grilled crispy bones, grilled ribs, etc., and slowly served them in plates, with a tangy aroma.

With a satisfied face, Qiao Mingduan took the meat and ate it.

Let the bodyguards eat again, if it is not enough, order more.

Qiao Xi looked at Qiao Mingduan with a look of disgust, and Qiao Mingduan put the grilled pork belly skewers in his hand to his mouth: "It tastes good, the meat is fresh and clean, and the seasoning is also very good."

Qiao Xi turned her face away and refused to eat, Qiao Mingduan said: "Eat it, eat it, why don't you take a bite."

Qiao Xi frowned and said, "You can eat your own. I won't eat it."

Qiao Mingduan wanted to let him try it: "Actually, I'm a person who never persuades others, but you don't give me face at all, it's really annoying."

Qiao Xi had an expression of "Don't be so sick" on her face: "You are obviously a bitch."

Qiao Ming raised his hand and pinched Qiao Xi's face. His fingers were stained with oil, and the oil was all over Qiao Xi's face.

This annoyed Qiao Xi, and she got angry on the spot: "You know I can't stand being dirty, but you deliberately treat me like this, is there something wrong with you!"

Although his voice was not loud, the other guests around heard him and all looked over, which made Qiao Xi even more stern.

Qiao Mingduan took a tissue and wiped his face while apologizing: "Okay, okay, you can only scold me, right?"

Qiao Xi sullenly did not answer.

Qiao Mingduan came up to him, wiped his face carefully, and coaxed: "It's already clean, don't be angry. Look, you are still the master. Is there anyone who treats guests like you?"

The two bodyguards sitting opposite the two of them were staring at each other while eating barbecue without looking at them.

The two bodyguards had been with Qiao Mingduan for a long time, and this was the first time they saw Qiao Mingduan coaxing people like this. Although they knew that they were cousins, the two bodyguards were a little awkward and didn't notice.

Qiao Xi couldn't stand him coaxing herself like this, so she stopped losing her temper, pushed his hand away, and said, "Okay, when I see something I like to eat, I will take it myself, you can eat yours."

After a while, the waiter brought another large ceramic bowl, which contained steamed grilled fish fillets.

Qiao Xi really took advantage of his appearance and temperament. Everyone loves to pay attention to him. The boss saw that he didn't eat, so he came here to introduce him. The fish caught in the lake are fresh and have no thorns, so they are sure to be delicious. There will be a fish head in a while, and the fish head is not bad."

Qiao Xi forced a smile at him.

The waiter brought hot oil boiled with spices and poured it into the bowl with skewered fish fillets. The hot oil stimulated the tenderness of the fish, just looking at it made people drool.

Qiao Mingduan praised: "Just looking at it will whet your appetite."

The boss smiled and said, "Then eat slowly."

Qiao Xi also thought the fish fillets were crystal clear and lovely, so she took a bunch of them and put them into the bowl with chopsticks, and ate a piece between them. The fish fillets were tender and fresh, with the smell of spices in the hot oil, but the smell of spices was not strong. , everything is just right.

Qiao Xi couldn't help but ate another slice, then took the next bunch and started eating.

Qiao Mingduan had already eaten three skewers when he ate one skewer, and he said to Qiao Xi with great satisfaction: "When you come to S City, this is how you should eat. I won't let you take me to find something to eat in the future. I'll take you to find something to eat."

Qiao Xi said "hmm" helplessly.

Qiao Mingduan picked the pork belly off the skewer and put it in his bowl. Qiao Xi picked it up and ate it this time, and found that the taste was really good. Even if he had eaten a meal before, he could continue to eat another meal.

Qiao Ming looked at Qiao Xi's stern face at last, so he touched him with a drink and said, "How can you eat barbecue without drinking, come on."

Qiao Xi had no choice but to accompany him to drink a can, and when Qiao Mingduan had eaten to his heart's content, he found that he had been eating too, and he didn't know how much he had eaten.

Qiao Mingduan settled the bill, and when he returned to Qiao Xi's house, Xiao An drove Qiao Xi's car. Qiao Xi looked at the driver, Xiao An, and then thought of a question: "I don't have many guest rooms at home, Xiao An and the others may only go to the mansion. Live, or stay in a hotel next to my house."

Xiao An said: "Second Young Master, you don't have to worry about us, we know how to settle down. It's just that when you leave for County P tomorrow morning, we will come to pick you up."

Qiao Mingduan said, "Let's leave at seven."

When they arrived at Qiao Xi's house, Xiao An and another bodyguard, Fu Yan, left first, and Qiao Mingduan found out that it wasn't that Qiao Xi's house didn't have many guest rooms, but that there were no guest rooms at all.

Qiao Xi let him sleep on her own bed, and said: "My sofa is very spacious, I can just sleep on the sofa."

Qiao Mingduan was surprised: "Your house is so big. It has three floors including the attic. Why doesn't it even have a guest room?"

Qiao Xi replied: "I don't want to entertain any guests at home, so I don't have a guest room."

"Then you don't usually let the nanny live here? Is there no inconvenience?"

"The nanny doesn't live with me, I'm not used to other people in my house."

Qiao Ming smiled: "Then I said that I want to live with you, am I being very ignorant?"

At this moment, Qiao Xi knew to flatter him: "You are not someone else, you are my brother."

Qiao Ming glanced at him with a smile: "You don't really mean what you say."
