Chen Chu couldn't help but grin, thinking to himself, "What is all this about? Seriously, it's just a meal, why is it acting like a fight?"
The main problem is that the underground shopping mall is poorly designed. Hancheng is mainly sandy soil, which is not very solid and the surface layer is prone to loosening. Therefore, to build an underground shopping mall, you have to lay a very deep foundation with a layer of sandy soil underneath. Moreover, the foundation has to be compacted, which is much more difficult than in black soil or mountainous areas.
It's expensive, the project is difficult, and it requires a lot of manpower, so other underground shopping malls are all winding cross-shaped, with connections in all directions, while this dilapidated underground shopping mall in Hancheng is just one line, like a giant maggot in a toilet.
The food street is right in the middle, and with so many people, if a fire breaks out, no one can escape. They'll probably trample a few people to death.
...
Chen Chu couldn't help but shake his head. Shao Xiaohua shouted in his ear, but the noise made it impossible for him to hear everything clearly.
They kept asking what I wanted.
Shao Xiaohua was furious and shouted, "Twenty skewers of lamb, four bottles of beer, five preserved eggs, five skewers of grilled mushrooms, ten vegetable skewers, one chicken carcass, ten skewers of pork kidneys..."
Chen Chu was confused, thinking that Shao Xiaohua's taste was really heavy. If he really had a wife like that in the future, my God, she would eat a bite of pork kidney, then a bite of stinky tofu, and then pull him and say, "Baby husband, give me a kiss..." Speechless, the taste was indescribable.
Chen Chu was confused and really wanted to know who Shao Xiaohua's future husband would be. This woman liked to eat pork kidneys, which were said to be a great tonic for men! He just hoped she wouldn't cause trouble after eating them and would just get laid.
Shao Xiaohua glared at Chen Chu and said, "Hey, I'm talking to you! What was that expression you were making just now?"
"No...nothing..." Chen Chu chuckled.
"Ah! Add two more bowls of noodles, hurry up..." Shao Xiaohua said, waving her hand.
Chen Chu shuddered, thinking, "Can you even eat all that? I just finished eating! But let's buy it! Last time, Shao Xiaohua took me to the hairdresser, then shopping for clothes and food, spending over two thousand yuan! All reimbursed by Joyoung Group..."
Chen Chu traversed mountains and valleys, squeezing and jostling his way through.
After much difficulty, they managed to squeeze back in. Several times, Chen Chu tried to squeeze back when he went to buy things, but he was almost pushed out the door by others.
Shao Xiaohua couldn't stop smiling.
When Chen Chu returned, Shao Xiaohua pouted and said, "Look at you, you're really stupid. It took you half a day to buy all this stuff!"
Chen Chu grinned, and Shao Xiaohua said to Chen Chu, "Eat!"
Chen Chu let out a burp.
Shao Xiaohua was unhappy.
"Fine! Chen Chu, I kept it a secret for you, I didn't even report your absence today! And you actually ate alone behind my back? Tell me, what did you eat? If you don't tell the truth, I'll tell President Wang Yanan about your absence today..."
Chen Chu grinned, thinking to himself, "Go ahead and report, your lovely and great Boss Wang just had me roughed up."
Chen Chu chuckled inwardly, but outwardly flattered, "No, no, Sister Xiaohua, please don't tattle on me, considering how desperately I defended your hat..."
Shao Xiaohua blushed and then burst out laughing.
He immediately coughed and said seriously, "Chen Chu, stop messing around. You're still going on and on about a hat... You're not done yet! Here's a pig kidney to shut you up! Hehehe..."
...
Shao Xiaohua suddenly felt very happy to be with Chen Chu. From Chen Chu's poems and couplets, she felt that he was not as carefree as he appeared, but rather quite meticulous.
Just now, she risked her life for her hat, and she also went through mountains and rivers to buy herself food. Suddenly, Shao Xiaohua thought that it would be nice to have a boyfriend like Chen Chu. He would be willing to endure making her suffer every day.
If only... he were a year or two older than me, or even the same age or a year or two younger! I'm already twenty-three, and he's only sixteen... speechless...
However, Shao Xiaohua suddenly remembered that her classmate Wang Xia was already twenty-five years old, and the two of them were still together, weren't they? Although they were lovers, they were still hooking up with each other.
Shao Xiaohua ate two meat skewers, smacked her lips, took a sip of beer, and looked at Chen Chu with a grin, asking, "Chen Chu, can I ask you something..."
"Huh?" Chen Chu was stunned for a moment. He took a sip of wine and finally calmed down. Chen Chu felt a great sense of relief.
Although he had just finished eating, the young man had a good appetite; he could easily choke on 40,000 to 50,000 yuan worth of rice at home.
Shao Xiaohua asked softly, "Um...you're definitely not a virgin anymore...um...besides Wang Xia, have you been with any other women...women...for example, like that tall, very beautiful woman I saw when I knocked on Wang Xia's door last time...did you and her...?"
Chen Chu chuckled, watching as Shao Xiaohua stuck two of her fingers together, as if the two were kissing.
Chen Chu nodded and said, "Yes, there is."
Shao Xiaohua took a deep breath, looked at Chen Chu with an expression of boundless admiration, and said, "Wow! You're awesome, buddy!" Shao Xiaohua patted Chen Chu on the shoulder.
There was also a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"Chen Chu... tell me, how did you win her over? I could tell from the first glance that she has very high standards... even my brother Shao Xiaodong probably wouldn't have much of a chance. She's not materialistic; I feel she values feelings and family. Chen Chu, if you don't have the ability to move her, it seems you can't succeed. She's that kind of woman. If you succeed, she probably won't leave you. You're lucky..."
Chen Chu scratched his head, feeling that Shao Xiaohua was quite capable. After all, she was a woman who understood women, and her younger brother was a pimp, dealing with prostitutes. Both siblings had talent.
Shao Xiaohua finished his drink in one gulp and started munching on his noodles.
It seemed like something was weighing on her mind.
Chen Chu fiddled with his phone, thinking about the pornographic video Shao Xiaodong had recorded for him, the one showing him having an affair with Wang Yanan.
However, he was afraid that Shao Xiaohua would see him and grab him.
That would be a huge problem. They'd even betrayed Shao Xiaodong. He fiddled with his phone and said, "Sister Xiaohua, why hasn't that woman we saw yesterday... that woman on the bridge, contacted me yet?"
Shao Xiaohua took a big bite of noodles, raised her eyelids, glanced at Chen Chu, and glared at him, saying, "What? You already have a great beauty, and you still won't give up? How can you be so fickle? Let me tell you, you already have a woman who truly loves you, and that woman isn't Wang Xia, who has a family. You treat her well, yet you're still flirting with outsiders? I can't stand men who flirt like this!"
Looking at the stunned Chen Chu, Shao Xiaohua said again, "Go! Go buy me another ten bottles of beer!"
Chen Chu grinned, thinking to himself, "This is the kind of girl-chasing advice you taught me, why are you insulting me now?"
Phew... this woman really changes her mind quickly.
Chen Chu brought back the beer and also placed ten pork kidneys on the tray in front of her. By then, Shao Xiaohua had already finished the three bottles of beer.
He glanced at the pig kidneys and laughed, "Chen Chu...you've improved, haven't you? That's more like it! That's what a good man should be! Let me tell you! This is called learning by analogy. If you ever have a girlfriend, you should treat her like this, and she'll be so happy..."
Shao Xiaohua's face was flushed. She opened the beer and drank it down. Chen Chu watched her drink it quickly and vigorously, wondering where all the beer went from her small belly.
Chen Chu let out a breath, wanting to remind her to drink slowly, but then thought better of it. After six or seven bottles of beer, Shao Xiaohua let out a burp, indicating that her alcohol tolerance had reached its limit.
His behavior seemed somewhat out of control.
"Chen Chu...how old is your wife?"
"Twenty-three…" Chen Chu smiled.
"Oh my... We're the same age... Chen Chu, my birthday is in December, so it should be the 22nd... My birthday is younger..."
"Hmm... Xiaohua isn't actually that much older than me." Chen Chu touched the ring on his right hand with the middle finger of his left hand. He seemed to sense that Shao Xiaohua was somewhat interested in him...
Chen Chu looked away.
Shao Xiaohua drank quite slowly towards the end, chatting idly with Chen Chu about her and Shao Xiaodong's childhood, their parents, and their school days.
Chen Chu knew Shao Xiaohua had drunk too much, but Shao Xiaohua just laughed and said, "Actually, some people are drunk when they're sober, and they're most clear-headed when they're drunk. Most of the time, good people are just acting, always talking to others, for example..."
Shao Xiaohua pointed her delicate finger at Chen Chu and said, "For example, when I'm talking to you now, my time is given to you. When I go home and talk to my parents, my time is given to them. When I go to the company, my time is given to my work. When I eat, sleep, poop and pee, my time is given to... I'm going to pee first, I'll be right back..."
Whew...
Chen Chu was speechless. He thought to himself, "Shao Xiaohua, you…" Then he chuckled, realizing this was Shao Xiaohua's true nature. She was genuinely a lively and adorable girl; the world's superficiality had masked her cuteness. Wasn't he the same? Perhaps he, too, was only truly sober when he was drunk…
It was already 2 p.m., and the more they drank, the more they gambled, and the less human relationships they developed.
Chen Chu was worried that something might happen to Shao Xiaohua, and that she might accidentally let the Liangshan heroes lurking in the women's restroom have sex with him.
He immediately followed, and although the toilet was indoors, Chen Chu still called out a few times from outside.
Shao Xiaohua was vomiting inside, but she still responded a few times.
Chen Chu smiled, and when Shao Xiaohua came out, Chen Chu helped her up and said, "Sister Xiaohua, let me take you home..."
"No..." Shao Xiaohua waved her fair, delicate hand and said, "I still need to drink, and then we'll go sing karaoke later..."
Feeling dizzy, Shao Xiaohua dragged Chen Chuzhen to go singing.
When we arrived at the karaoke bar, it was already almost three o'clock, and in winter, it was already getting dark outside at this time.
Shao Xiaohua sang a few songs, which were quite pleasant to listen to.
Chen Chu was also coerced by Shao Xiaohua into singing a few songs, and Shao Xiaohua smiled.
Chen Chu sat down next to her, and she drowsily rested her head on Chen Chu's shoulder. Looking at her hot red lips, Chen Chu couldn't help but feel an irresistible urge to kiss her.
Shao Xiaohua looked up at Chen Chu and said, "Actually, all I want is a very simple love, like someone who can be with me and listen to me... But Ji Yang isn't like that..."
Chen Chu let out a sigh of relief. He had been quite interested just now, but the mention of Ji Yang had completely killed his enthusiasm.
"Xiaohua, did you have something going on with Ji Yang before?"
"Huh? Me and Ji Yang? We're classmates. That kid doesn't study properly, he's always fighting. I even ran into him today... That bastard, pretending he didn't see me. Chen Chu, what's so great about Ji Yang! Pah! He's not even as good as you. Or, if you don't mind Xiao Hua, I'll be your wife..."
Chen Chu is no gentleman; he's just a lecher.
Hearing this, I thought, "Who cares if you're drunk or not?" and went straight up and kissed Shao Xiaohua's burning lips...
