[Interstellar] King of Food

Spoiler: Return

Most of the customers left the restaurant with a full stomach, and Li Haoxuan invited the staff to have lunch.

Everyone watched him slowly pick up a spoonful of egg fried rice and put it into his mouth without making any sound, and they all looked at each other strangely.

"What's wrong?" Sensing their gaze, Li Haoxuan asked suspiciously.

Xiao Ai couldn't help but said: "Little boss, did you secretly enroll in some etiquette training class?"

"???" Li Haoxuan looked at her inquiringly.

"Your every move now makes people feel very... very elegant, like an ancient nobleman, it feels like you are not eating fried rice with eggs, but a full banquet." Xiao Ai smiled.

"..." Li Haoxuan shrugged his shoulders, not feeling any changes in himself.

After eating, the employees all go about their own affairs, such as mopping the floor and washing the dishes.

"Hey, little boss, look over there~" Xiao Ai tapped Li Haoxuan's arm furtively, "Turn your head over slowly, don't be too deliberate."

Li Haoxuan turned his head slightly, and saw two young men dressed like college students leaning close to each other, feeding each other a mouthful of rice from time to time, with a very intimate gesture.The people next to them looked at them with curiosity or disgust.

"In broad daylight, be blatant~" Xiao Ai teased.

"Homosexual intimacy is not against the law, although it's not good to do so in public." Li Haoxuan looked at the two with complicated expressions that he didn't realize.

"Hey, husband~ oh oh, I'm at work, let's talk about it tonight, okay~" Xiao Ai kissed the phone case.

Li Haoxuan's eyes were attracted by the white plush fox hanging on the phone: "Xiao Ai..."

"Little boss, what's the matter?" Xiao Ai said in a good mood.

"Where is this pendant for sale?" Li Haoxuan asked.

"This one, I bought it for 20 yuan on Taobao, where do you like it? Here, I'll give it to you!" Xiao Ai untied the string and handed it to Li Haoxuan.

"No, no, I will pay for it." Li Haoxuan took out 50 yuan and handed it to her, "Thank you very much, this pendant is really beautiful!"

Xiao Ai accepted the money with a smile, and joked: "If I had known that you like this, little boss, I would have bought a few more from the beginning, and I could make a lot of money~"

Li Haoxuan stroked the soft fur on Bai Tuanzi's body, closed his eyes forcefully, and a trace of tears disappeared from his eyes.

After seeing off the last wave of customers, Li Haoxuan turned off the lights in the restaurant, locked the big lock, pulled down the shutter door, and planned to go to the supermarket to buy some frozen dumplings.

Arriving in front of the freezer in the supermarket, the finger stretched out to grab the packaging bag touched another person's finger, a tingling sensation came from the contact place, and Li Haoxuan withdrew his hand suddenly.

"Sorry." Li Haoxuan smiled awkwardly.

"It's okay." A melodious cello-like voice sounded in my ears.

"Will you always eat quick-frozen dumplings?" The man quietly looked at the boy in front of him.

"Aren't you eating too?" Li Haoxuan said angrily.

"That's because I always feel that there should be someone in my life who prepares three meals a day for me, although my psychiatrist said that this is just a manifestation of further aggravation of paranoia." The man chuckled.

Speechlessly saying goodbye to the man, Li Haoxuan went to buy a few more towels. The towels at home should be replaced. By the way, he bought a tube of mint-flavored toothpaste, paid the money at the cashier, and walked out slowly with a plastic bag. The gate of the supermarket.

Seeing the pouring rain outside the door, Li Haoxuan turned around and planned to go back to the supermarket to buy an umbrella, when he saw the handsome man hurried out carrying two big bags, and seeing Li Haoxuan standing outside the door, his eyes seemed a little surprised .

"I'll drive you back," the man said with a smile.

After some excuses, Li Haoxuan finally compromised, and the two came to the underground parking lot and put the purchased items into the trunk.

The silver BMW pierced the night like a bolt of lightning.

Back home, Li Haoxuan didn't intend to let his guests eat quick-frozen dumplings with him. He searched for some fresh ingredients from the kitchen and refrigerator, and planned to prepare a hearty meal.

The chicken wings need to be sprinkled with Chinese pepper and poured with cooking wine to marinate for a while. Li Haoxuan used this time to start processing the potatoes.

"Can you shred potatoes with your eyes closed?" asked the man standing beside him with his arms folded.

"Yes, you can also cut potato shreds on the balloon, this is to practice your control over the force when cutting ingredients." Li Haoxuan puffed up his face and said, "Can you help me wash the pork belly and cut it into small strips? "

"Happy to serve you, sir~" The handsome man put his right hand on his left shoulder like a deacon of a noble family, and said politely.

At dinner time, men are very interested in sauce-flavored chicken wings, but ignore salt and pepper potatoes and fish-flavored eggplants.

"The combination of meat and vegetables should be reasonable." Li Haoxuan gave him a chopstick of eggplant with serving chopsticks.

"You're right." The man frowned and swallowed the eggplant.

Time flies, the man is like Li Haoxuan's half body, he can easily get what Li Haoxuan said, understand what he really wants to say, and put forward some unique views of his own.

After dinner, Li Haoxuan was taken aback: "It's so late?!" Hearing the sound of rain hitting the ground and the roof without stopping for a second, Li Haoxuan frowned and said, "It's raining so hard, and the sky is so dark, you Don't drive yet, just sleep in the guest room tonight."

The man hesitated and said: "...This is not good, your partner probably won't want a stranger to live at home."

"I'm still single." Li Haoxuan said, "I usually live here alone, and it's probably a good thing for me to have someone living in the guest room. I can feel more at ease when I sleep."

The corner of the man's lips curled up, and he was about to say something when there was a knock on the door, his face suddenly darkened: "You came to visit at such a late hour, it must be your very 'close' friend?" When it comes to "intimacy", the voice is aggravated, and the tone is a little dissatisfied.

Li Haoxuan scratched his hair, opened the door, and saw the woman outside the door smiling and pointing to her feet, lowering her head, facing the amber eyes of the stray cats, a few drenched kittens screamed coquettishly , rubbing against Li Haoxuan's trouser legs.

"I just moved here, and I live upstairs. When I came home, I saw these kittens sitting in front of your door. I thought something happened." The woman brushed her hair back with a smile. behind the ear.

"I usually feed them, they are already familiar with me, maybe they want to come to my house to shelter from the rain today." Li Haoxuan smiled and said, "Sorry to trouble you."

The woman waved her hand and said: "It's nothing, we know each other now, you can come to my house as a guest when you have time."

After chatting with the woman for a few words, Li Haoxuan closed the door and turned his head, and saw the man teasing the stray cat with the ham sausage in his hand.

"Be careful of them biting you," Li Haoxuan said worriedly.

"I can raise them. After all, living alone in a two-hundred-square-meter house is too spacious." The man said, "I'll take them to the epidemic prevention station tomorrow for vaccinations, and I'll wash and cut them by the way. ?"

"Hey, are you going to take my cats away like this? I've been feeding them for several years!" Li Haoxuan shouted.

"We can raise them together." There was a smile on the corner of the man's lips, as if he didn't feel that he had said anything special.

"Two big men raising cats together, are you serious? You will be gossiped by others." Li Haoxuan looked at the man sitting on the sofa.

The man didn't answer, but brought up other topics: "It is said that cats have nine lives, do you believe it?"

"Is that a myth or legend? Please sit over there." Li Haoxuan unceremoniously pushed the man away and sat on the sofa. He picked up a bag of dried apricots on the coffee table and threw a few into his mouth. It bulged and moved, like a little squirrel.

"Then do you believe... past life and present life?" The man poked his wobbly cheek with his hands.

"No, I don't believe it, I'm an atheist. Don't touch me, are we familiar?" Li Haoxuan slapped the man's hand away in disgust.

"Before I met you, so did I." The man quietly looked at his palm, with a look of loneliness in his eyes.

"I don't understand what you're talking about, I'm going to bed, ha~" Li Haoxuan stood up and stretched, and tried to hold back a yawn.

"Xiaoxuan, how long are you going to be angry? When can we end this ridiculous game of pretending to be strangers to each other?!" The man finally became impatient, with veins popping out of his forehead.

"Xiaoxuan?! Are we familiar? Don't call me that." Li Haoxuan looked at the background wall behind the TV seriously, as if he had discovered the beautiful wallpaper on the living room wall for the first time.

"It's my fault for disappearing from your life without your permission. I've already apologized. What do you think of me?!" Li Jiushu found helplessly that even after such a long time, when he met this guy again , his royal demeanor will still disappear and there will be nothing left.

"I don't think His Majesty can't see that the bullet will only go through my arm instead of my heart." Li Haoxuan said coolly.

"But I can't take the risk of losing you, even if there is only a one-ten-thousandth possibility, I dare not bet your life on that one-ten-thousandth possibility!" Thinking of that kind of thing, Li Jiushu covered his face in pain .

"You really should swallow a thousand needles, because you didn't keep your promise." Li Haoxuan glanced at him worriedly, and tried his best to maintain the nonchalance in his words.

"Okay, if you can forgive me after I swallow it." Li Jiushu's voice came muffled from the palm of his hand.

"...Don't go, I'm joking." Li Haoxuan scratched his neck and looked around.

"Of course I know you're joking. Can I move in tomorrow, Xiaoxuan?" Li Jiushu finally raised his head, without any tears on his face that Li Haoxuan thought appeared on his handsome face just now.

"..." Li Haoxuan gritted his teeth and acquiesced to his question, knowing that he had been put down again.
