"Hey, brother Chu Qing, this store tastes really good, but what should I say, hot pot..."
Zhai Yu said it, and then hesitated, but Chu Qing heard the hidden meaning in Zhai Yu's words.
Chu Qing had the same idea as him. You really need to be familiar with something like hot pot before you can eat it. After all, you will inevitably sweat when you eat it, and you don't think about your image at all.
Chu Qing remembered that he once read a post, which said that if a girl goes to eat hot pot with you, then she really doesn't care about image. Chu Qing was somewhat disapproving of this.
There are many types of hot pot, and it can even be said that the taste of hot pot is different in each place. For example, the world-famous Sichuan and Chongqing hot pot is spicy, fragrant, and served with an oil dish. Chu Qing once went there with his parents. Over there, I was very impressed with the hot pot there.
As for the copper pot-shabu-shabu mutton they eat now, it is different. The best mutton is cut into thin slices and is cooked in a copper pot for half a minute. It will be completely cooked and then served with sesame sauce. Eat it with dipping sauce, how can you say it is so beautiful
The two chatted casually, and the dishes were served one after another. No wonder the place they were in was turned into a luxury private room, and the speed of serving the dishes was also unusual.
There were even two waiters standing beside them, serving them plates and helping them prepare their food.
Zhai Yu waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to go down. The two nodded and then walked out of the room together.
"Hey, I think it's better to do this kind of thing on my own. I can't stand being waited on everywhere I go, and it's not like I have no hands or feet."
Chu Qing smiled slightly, but he felt that Zhai Yu was more interested in him.
For something like hot pot, the two of them should do it themselves.
Chu Qing also rolled up his sleeves. There was no air conditioning in the room, so when the hot pot started to boil, mist filled the room and the delicious smell began to spread throughout the room.
"Brother Chu Qing, I toast you this cup."
The two of them were enjoying the meal, and Zhai Yu picked up the wine glass. His face was red from eating, and sweat began to flow down his neck.
Chu Qing waved his hand and poured a glass of cold beer.
"No, I should be the one to toast you with this cup."
The two shied away for a long time, and finally looked at each other and smiled. They drank the wine in one gulp, and no one said who respected whom.
"To be honest, Brother Chu Qing, this is the first time that someone thinks highly of me besides my family background."
Zhai Yu's eyes suddenly dimmed, as if he was thinking about something, then he smiled slightly and shook his head.
"why do you say so?"
While Chu Qing was rinsing the mutton, he glanced at Zhai Yu in surprise.
In his opinion, Zhai Yu should not have no friends, and he even felt that he could be said to be the kind of person who is relatively popular.
Zhai Yu smiled bitterly and poured himself another glass of wine. At this time, Chu Qing directly picked up a bottle of cold beer and nodded to him.
"It feels better to drink it directly from the bottle."
Zhai Yu didn't show any pretense, he just picked up a bottle of cold beer that he had just opened and took a sip. Half of the bottle was already in his stomach.
"I grew up alone, and my father and I depended on each other. It was not until later that my father told me that my mother was a great person."
"A great person? What's the use of being great..."
As Zhai Yu spoke, the wine in his hand was something he had never heard of before. He took another sip and the wine bottle in his hand was empty.
"I lost my life. After that, I was sent to a new city and a new school. They looked at me strangely."
"At that time, I didn't know what that look meant. It wasn't until later that I knew what that look was like."
"It was a look of sympathy. I met a girl and she was very nice to me, but then she suddenly asked me: Are you an illegitimate child? The kind that can't be taken seriously."
Chu Qing smiled and opened another bottle of beer for Zhai Yu, then handed it over. Zhai Yu took it and drank it in one gulp.
"Do you know that feeling? It's like, they and I have never been the same kind of people. I always thought that people are the same. But it wasn't until that time that I realized that in their eyes, they He is a noble, and I am an alien."
Chu Qing didn't say anything, he just drank with Zhai Yu silently. He would drink as much as Zhai Yu drank. This was his understanding of the wine table.
"Then, are you cruel to them?"
Chu Qing thought for a moment and asked.
"Hate? Maybe..."
"In the past two years, I have been trained as a key figure, and many of the family's resources will be allocated to me. I know that, but in their eyes, I may still be an outlier."
"Without my father's support, I might not have been able to hold on long ago. It feels uncomfortable to be treated as the same person."
The light in Chu Qing's eyes changed. Zhai Yu was drinking with his head down and did not see Chu Qing's changing eyes.
"Okay, brother, I'll toast you this time."
Chu Qing smiled bitterly and revealed the secret in his heart.
"I don't have the same worries as you, but I'm not necessarily as comfortable as you..."
"Why?"
Zhai Yu was stunned. Although he had known Chu Qing for some time, Zhai Yu never knew about Chu Qing's life background, including what happened to Chu Qing when he fell to the ground.
"My mother also came from a big family, but later, they found her."
"Because my parents left secretly, that is, elope, but the family does not allow it."
"So they used me to put pressure on them, and they said they would..."
When Chu Qing said this, he couldn't help but cursed secretly and took a sip of beer.
"say what?"
