176. French Fries
The heating in the restaurant was on the high side. Bai Rui took off his coat and hung it on the back of the chair. His chest wrapped in a silk shirt was strong and generous. Search: \(\\\\) to watch fine literature for free
It's no wonder Ren Mengxuan is crazy about him, because this man can't be classified as an ordinary person regardless of his appearance or temperament, just like Gu Xiao, some people are born to shine like this.
Tian Yujing's eyes began to look unruly. Although she already had Jiang Hai, it didn't stop her pure appreciation for handsome guys.
In the audience, only Su Yuan had met Bai Rui once, and the second time she saw him, she still couldn't help but cast envious eyes at the two of them.
Presumably Ren Mengxuan brought Bai Rui out, because he enjoyed being surrounded by others. Who wouldn't want to pull out Xiuxiu with such a beautiful boyfriend
Fortunately, Zhang Siyi gets along with Gu Xiao every day, and seems to be immune to this kind of male with hormones, and he behaves calmly.
They were sitting on a small rectangular table, with two couples sitting on one side, Su Yuan and Zhang Siyi sitting on the other two narrow sides, and Bai Rui sitting on the left side of Zhang Siyi.
After introducing and saying hello, Ren Mengxuan asked, "Have you ordered food first?"
Jiang Hai smiled and said, "Isn't this just waiting for the Lord, you order, you order."
Ren Mengxuan was not polite, opened the menu, leaned towards Bai Rui, and said in a friendly gesture, "honey, what do you want to eat?"
Bai Rui glanced at her and said politely, "Isn't this your class reunion? Don't worry about me, you can ask your friend to order it yourself."
Full marks for attitude, full marks for etiquette, full marks for tone... It's simply impeccable!
Tian Yujing held her face and said enviously, "Meng Xuan, your boyfriend is so handsome."
Jiang Hai's mouth twitched: "Hello, I'm still sitting here."
Everyone laughed, because the tense atmosphere caused by the intervention of outsiders was a little relaxed. Bai Rui also smiled lightly. Although he looked very gentle and polite, Zhang Siyi always felt that he was a little out of shape.
However, he can't control other people's affairs. As Gu Xiao said, how handsome or powerful Bai Rui is has nothing to do with him. This time, he mainly met his old classmates, talked about the past, and talked about the past. Afterwards, he had to go to Gu Xiao to listen to the lecture together.
"Okay, okay, don't push it, everyone will order their own portion. This is an English restaurant, not Chinese food." Su Yuan responded.
"Hahaha, that's right." Most of the western food was served to everyone. After hearing what Su Yuan said, everyone opened the menu.
British cuisine is a cuisine rich in dark dishes, and there are not many classic dishes that can be ordered. They chose this restaurant not to enjoy the food, but to think about the time when they were studying in the UK and want to come back and reminisce.
The owner of the restaurant is an authentic Londoner. The British dishes here are quite authentic, and all the raw materials of the ingredients are imported from abroad. But the restaurant is opened in China, and the owner has to do as the locals do. Cooking British food alone will definitely not attract snarky Chinese customers.
So in addition to British food, it also sells some western dishes such as steak and pasta.
The girls were afraid of getting fat, so they all ordered chicken breasts and other foods with relatively low calories. Jiang Hai and Bai Rui ordered steaks respectively.
Zhang Siyi is picky about steaks and has always been used to eating Italian dishes. After much deliberation, he still ordered fish & chips (Fish & Chips) on Rotten Street in the UK.
Although this thing is famous, but in the eyes of the Chinese people, it is at most a snack, not a dinner. Today is Bai Rui's treat. In the end, he is naturally responsible for ordering the dishes. Seeing that Zhang Siyi only ordered this, he couldn't help asking: "Will you order more?"
When he mentioned it, it also attracted Ren Mengxuan's attention. Ren Mengxuan smiled and said, "Xiaoyi, why are you still ordering this kind of food for children? Come and order something good."
Jiang Hai also said: "Don't eat this kind of junk food. I read that the steak here is still very good."
Su Yuan: "That's right, French fries have high energy."
Zhang Siyi was not afraid of getting fat, and insisted: "I just want to eat this. I haven't eaten it for a long time since I came back from the UK."
It is precisely because he eats nutritious and healthy food every day after being with Gu Xiao, so he rarely wants to indulge today. And looking at the photo on the menu, it's a big portion, and a few grams are also marked, so it's definitely enough for one person.
This group of stupid humans really don't understand the joy of eating junk food, and they have to chat for a while. Chips and gossip can't be better! Ha ha!
When the dishes came up, Zhang Siyi's fish & chips was indeed a huge portion. The golden fries were served on a wooden cutting board, and there were also fried potatoes, bacon pieces, and roasted tomatoes... The unique color and aroma of fried food immediately came out. Let this food become the focus of everyone's eyes.
Zhang Siyi picked up the mayonnaise brought by the waiter, squeezed a slice on the fries, and sprinkled a little salt and pepper on top. The English French fries were cut thick and fat. Zhang Siyi used a fork to pick one up and put it down in one bite. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside - cool!
"Oh, what should I do, Xiaoyi's seems to be really delicious..."
"Let me eat one too." Jiang Hai got closer to him and put his fork on Zhang Siyi's chopping board. Seeing that he was so casual, everyone followed suit.
It doesn't matter if everyone comes and gets one, Zhang Siyi is not an iron rooster, but this group of bastards have to take an inch and eat one after another...
Seeing that the french fries on his plate decreased at a visible rate, Zhang Siyi became anxious and protected his chopping board with his hands: "Damn! You guys are enough, this is my staple food!"
Ren Mengxuan laughed and said, "Don't be so stingy, haha, I'll order one for you after eating!"
Su Yuan: "That's right, the boss is here, you don't need to save money for the gold owner."
Zhang Siyi: "..." Who said that junk food is high in calories? (= dish=)
As the gold owner, Bai Rui smiled and watched them for a while. He was older than them. Although he came here as Ren Mengxuan's boyfriend, he always treated them as children and didn't plan to really integrate into them.
But now I don't know why, looking at Zhang Siyi's fried hair, he couldn't help but want to tease him, so he stretched his fork to Zhang Siyi's chopping board.
Zhang Siyi was already annoyed when he arrived. Seeing that there were still people grabbing food, he subconsciously stared at Bai Rui's unfamiliar face. looked away.
Bai Rui's actions also made Ren Mengxuan a little surprised, because her "beautiful boyfriend" has always maintained a safe distance from her since the date of their relationship.
Although Bai Rui was gentle and considerate to her, he accompanied her shopping, eating, watching movies, giving her all kinds of gifts, and doing what all boyfriends should do. However, his attitude in doing those things was as if he was doing a task on the task list, a routine, without any emotional fluctuations and ups and downs from his heart.
During this period, Ren Mengxuan posted a lot of photos with him in the circle of friends. She knew that she was just deceiving herself and that she was pretending that they were good, but in fact they were not as loving and sweet as they seemed.
On the contrary, their relationship seems to be stuck in the stage of "daily dating and doing tasks", and they can't get any closer.
It is said that women's sixth sense is very accurate, and Ren Mengxuan is the same. She subconsciously feels that something is not right, and feels that her relationship with Bai Rui has a sense of absurdity, so she repeatedly asks the people around her for verification.
But she couldn't get away from the love fantasy that this man brought her. She was too addicted to the vanity and satisfaction that Bai Rui brought her.
The first time she took him to see Su Yuan was a test. She wanted to distinguish whether Bai Rui had the same attitude towards herself and others. Bai Rui's performance made her very satisfied. He didn't have any ambiguous behavior towards Su Yuan, and even behaved quite He is polite and distant, but maintains his masculine demeanor.
She found a bit of comfort from this comparison, and then frequently brought him to meet her colleagues and other friends, including the old classmate who brought him to meet her this time. Similarly, she wanted to see the difference and to verify that she was in Bai Rui. position in the heart.
But just now, Bai Rui actually went to fork a piece of French fries from Zhang Siyi's plate. Ren Mengxuan had eaten with him so many times, and Bai Rui had never taken food from her plate once, so this move seemed special to her. unexpected.
But this was just a very small anomaly, and it wasn't enough to surprise Ren Mengxuan. After all, everyone was eating Zhang Siyi's fries. She understood that Bai Rui might also be affected by the atmosphere.
Zhang Siyi's fries were sold out by everyone, and he had no choice but to add an egg Benedict in the end.
Everyone chatted while eating, and continued to talk about the current construction industry market. With outsiders around, Su Yuan also wants to save face. He must be embarrassed to mention his bleak situation again, and Zhang Siyi will have no chance to encourage her.
Several people shared and talked about some of the projects they had done. Ren Mengxuan and Jiang Hai were both the types of earning and overpaying, and they had nothing to say. However, because of the downturn in the industry, Su Yuan's office had too few projects. In comparison, Zhang Siyi found that this year was his most experienced experience.
If it was still a year ago, he would have been frivolous and ignorant and couldn't help bragging, but now, with the tempering and progress in his work, the more he knows, the more he knows his inadequacies. Especially after being with Gu Xiao, watching such a big mountain block in front of him every day, he is not as good as the other (singing is not counted), Zhang Siyi can't be proud at all.
The Lu Qiao incident during the day trip made Zhang Siyi realize the truth that "the more outstanding people are, the more modest they should be", so now he has no desire to brag at all.
However, he flatly talked about a few company benefits, but still aroused the envy of his friends.
Ren Mengxuan: "My God, in this case, can your company still have the benefits of traveling abroad?"
Zhang Siyi scratched his head: "It's only once every two years, I just caught up with luck."
Jiang Hai: "Better than nothing!"
Su Yuan: "Hey, when I first joined the company, the company said there are some, but now the salary can't be paid, let alone travel, hehe."
Ren Mengxuan: "That's right, we can only spend our own money if we want to go out and play!"
Zhang Siyi said: "It is very tiring to go to the company, because we mainly go to study and study, not play, so it is not free." Yes, he also discussed with Gu Xiao in private that he must have two people when he is free in the future. Go again and have a real two-person world.
Afraid that this topic would be too hateful, Zhang Siyi hurriedly said, "How are the other students doing now? Do you still have contact?"
Speaking of this, everyone quickly thought of Xue Wenhan and Yu Rui, who were studying for a master's degree in the UK. They should also graduate.
Ren Mengxuan: "Emma, I was still seeing Yu Rui's status on Facebook a few days ago!"
Su Yuan was also very concerned, and hurriedly asked, "How is she?"
Ren Mengxuan: "She actually got an internship offer from F firm!"
Su Yuan's expression changed: "F Office?"
It is a very famous architectural design firm in the United Kingdom. It is located in London. It has always been a gilded holy place for British architecture students. Now it is not easy to find a job in China, let alone stay in the UK. Offer is almost impossible.
The girls have always looked down on Yu Rui, and always felt that she used extraordinary means to climb up, but they never thought that she could really rely on things other than strength to "win" step by step.
Ren Mengxuan said with emotion: "Yes, her grades were not good in the past, she used to find a boyfriend to climb up, using one to kick one... Do you think she sneaked into the boss of the f office? Otherwise, how could luck be so good? ?"
When Su Yuan heard the news, he seemed to be greatly shocked, and he began to doubt his life in a trance.

day after day,
Gu Xiao was suffering without peace.
Tossing and turning for lovesickness,
Brows and eyes raised are all tricks.
Build the Great Wall to surround the four aunts,
At the foot of Wuzhi Mountain is the camp.
until the minds are connected,
Every day, every day.
