    Chapter 27 027 “Maybe it’s the charm of love”

    “What?!”

    Hearing what Shen Qingyu said, Chen Xiaonuan’s voice suddenly became louder: “But I don’t know them.”

    She was afraid that she would behave badly and embarrass her sister.

    At this moment, Chen Xiaonuan really wanted to imitate Tofu Xi Tzu and perform a delicate and frail body for her sister, and fainted on the spot.

    “My people are all my friends.” Shen Qingyu comforted.

    Chen Xiaonuan frowned and whispered: “Sister didn’t tell me in advance, so she gave me a vaccination. It was like an attack, and I was not prepared at all.”

    Chen Xiaonuan: “Humph.”

    Shen Qingyu reached out and touched Chen Xiaonuan’s lips.

    It was warm and soft to the touch. She touched it lightly and pulled away immediately.

    I just don’t know what it will taste like.

    “Don’t pout, it’s so high. Do you want to hang a bottle of soy sauce on it?” Shen Qingyu coughed lightly, suppressing the charming emotions rising in her heart.

    Chen Xiaonuan turned her head proudly: “Huh.”

    It was obviously my sister’s fault, but she still criticized her.

    Shen Qingyu coaxed: “It was a spur-of-the-moment idea. He knew I was going to bring you here for dinner, so he kept pestering me to meet you.”

    “They don’t mean any harm to you, and they will introduce you to them in the future.”

    Shen Qingyu really didn’t intend to let Chen Xiaonuan introduce her to her friend so quickly. After all, she hadn’t caught up with him yet. If those two fools didn’t know the answer, they would say the wrong thing quickly.

    But she really couldn’t bear the two friends being crazy. They kept talking in her ears, and the phone calls stopped in a series of bombardments.

    Shen Qingyu regretted telling them in the first place.

    “Don’t be angry.”

    Chen Xiaonuan turned his head and covered his eyes tightly with his hands, pretending not to look at Shen Qingyu, but actually opened his eyes to peek through his fingers.

    My sister didn’t mean it either.

    Chen Xiaonuan’s face was red. Without exception, she could not resist Shen Qingyu’s beauty attacks.

    She whispered: “Okay then.”

    The black car drove away from the bustling university town and stopped in front of a secluded and quiet courtyard outside the suburbs.

    It has blue bricks and gray tiles, and the vermilion door is tightly closed. There is not even a sign at the door, only two dim lanterns swaying in the breeze, revealing a kind of low luxury that is not obvious.

    Chen Xiaonuan got out of the car, looked at the surrounding environment, and thought to himself, is this a place to eat?

    There was already a waiter wearing a Chinese gown waiting for him. When he saw Shen Qingyu, he came up to him respectfully and bowed slightly.

    “Mr. Shen, Miss Su and Miss Qin have arrived and are waiting for you in Tingyu Pavilion.”

    Shen Qingyu nodded, and led Chen Xiaonuan, who was still looking around curiously, through the winding courtyard and came to a private room called ‘Tingyu Pavilion’.

    The waiter pushed open the heavy wooden door, and the scene inside the box was completely different from the simple one outside.The decoration is modern and simple, but it cleverly incorporates Chinese elements. It is spacious and bright. In the middle is a huge floor-to-ceiling window, through which you can see the carefully cultivated landscape of the courtyard.

    There were two people sitting in the box, it was Su Man and Qin Siyu.

    When the two of them saw Shen Qingyu come in, their eyes fell on the petite figure beside her.

    “Wow!” Suman whistled first, with a playful smile on his face, and greeted Chen Xiaonuan, “Hello, how are you, little beauty.”

    Chen Xiaonuan was a little embarrassed by the sudden enthusiasm, her cheeks were slightly red, and she smiled shyly at Suman.

    She whispered back: “Hello.”

    Qin Siyu also smiled and looked at Chen Xiaonuan, his tone was much calmer than Suman: “Hello, sister Xiaonuan.”

    It was true that she and Su Man pestered Shen Qingyu every day, and today they finally met the sister Shen Qingyu missed day and night.

    “Hello, hello.” Chen Xiaonuan greeted Qin Siyu hurriedly, feeling a little nervous.

    Are these two my sister’s good friends? They both look so awesome.

    Suman looked at Chen Xiaonuan’s well-behaved and awkward look and found it very interesting. She smiled and asked, “How old is my sister? Where did she go to school and what major did she study? By the way, does my sister have anyone she likes?”

    Suman asked a series of questions, like checking household registration.

    “Ah?” Chen Xiaonuan was a little confused by the sudden question. She didn’t know which one to answer. She subconsciously turned her eyes to Shen Qingyu.

    I hope Shen Qingyu can rescue her.

    Shen Qingyu frowned slightly, stretched out his hand to take Chen Xiaonuan into his arms, led him to sit down next to him, then glanced at Suman lightly, warning her not to talk nonsense.

    “Ask less and you will know the gossip all day long.”

    His tone was full of maintenance.

    “Tch~” Suman curled her lips in dissatisfaction and said confidently, “Don’t I care about my sister? Besides, we will see each other more often in the future. This is to protect the relationship between my sister and I in advance.”

    “Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand.”

    Shen Qingyu ignored her and just coughed lightly.

    “OK!” Suman closed his mouth knowingly, and made a zipper motion with his hand to indicate that he would shut up for the time being.

    But the narrow curiosity in his eyes has not diminished at all.

    Chen Xiaonuan turned his head, put his lips close to Shen Qingyu’s ear, and said in a low voice: “Sister, are all your friends like this?”

    So nervous.

    The warm breath blew against his ears, and Shen Qingyu was immediately fascinated.

    She looked at Chen Xiaonuan, who had pretty features, and replied in a low voice: “Well, so you should pay less attention to them.”

    “What are you doing? Just say what you have to say. Everyone is listening together. No whispering is allowed.” Suman, who had just shut up for a few seconds, couldn’t help shouting again.

    Shen Qingyu: “If you say less, you won’t be suffocated to death.”

    Suman said “hehe” twice: “I can.”

    Chen Xiaonuan: qwq

    Why is my sister still arguing with her friends?

    At this time, two waiters walked in.Wearing elegant cheongsam and graceful figures, they poured hot tea for the four of them, then stood aside quietly, waiting for the guests’ orders.

    Shen Qingyu placed the menu in front of Chen Xiaonuan and said, “Take a look and order whatever you want.”

    “Oh, okay.” Chen Xiaonuan obediently picked up the menu and opened it expectantly.

    However, when Chen Xiaonuan saw the prices of the dishes on the first page, the smile on his face instantly froze.

    【Matsutake mushrooms in clear soup】1,280

    【Gongting Braised Shark’s Fin】5,888

    【……】

    Chen Xiaonuan blinked, thinking he was dazzled.She took a deep breath and turned to the second page with trembling hands.

    【Black Truffle Pan-fried Wagyu Beef】3,680

    【Golden soup live sea cucumber】1,988

    【……】

    She was not evil and turned another page.

    【Stir-fried seasonal vegetables】388

    Until he turned to the last page and saw that even a bowl of ordinary seaweed and egg drop soup was priced at 88 yuan, Chen Xiaonuan felt that his world view had been greatly impacted.

    This isn’t a menu, it’s clearly a money grab!Are all the dishes made of gold?!

    Chen Xiaonuan closed the menu with a ‘snap’ sound, as if holding a hot potato in her hand, a stiff smile appeared on her face, and she pushed the menu back to Shen Qingyu.

    “Sister… you better order. I don’t have anything in particular that I want to eat.”

    She couldn’t order at all. Every dish she ordered felt like she was cutting her own flesh, and her heart was bleeding.This is not food, but money.

    Seeing her look of shock and pain, Shen Qingyu probably guessed what Chen Xiaonuan was thinking, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

    Shen Qingyu handed her the menu again: “Just order what you want, don’t worry about the price, they are treating you today.”

    “That’s right, that’s right.” Suman waved her hand quite proudly, “Sister Xiao Nuan, we are meeting for the first time today, and I have to treat you to this meal. You can do whatever you want, don’t worry, you don’t have to save money for me, you can order whatever you want.”

    “Sister, I’m not short of money.”

    Qin Siyu also smiled and agreed.

    Chen Xiaonuan burst into tears when she saw that they didn’t care about the money at all.

    Is this the world of rich people?Damn it!

    Chen Xiaonuan opened the menu again with trembling hands, as if performing a sacred and painful ritual, making a difficult choice, and finally pointed to the two cheapest-looking dishes.

    【Simmered Radish in Chicken Sauce】588

    【Osmanthus Sugar Lotus Root】488

    “Just…just these two.” Chen Xiaonuan’s voice was weak, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

    Shen Qingyu frowned slightly when he saw that she only ordered two vegetarian dishes, but she didn’t say anything more.

    She directly said to the waiter next to her: “Sichuan pepper and sesame lobster balls, honey-roasted snowflake beef, Shancheng fish maw, and a bottle of 90-year-old Romanee-Conti.”

    After ordering, Shen Qingyu handed it to Su Man and the others: “You can study it yourself.”

    Shen Qingyu turned her head and turned slightly sideways, getting closer to Chen Xiaonuan.

    She whispered at a volume that only the two of them could hear: “These three dishes are private dishes of this store and are only available to first-class private guests. They are all your favorite flavors.”

    Chen Xiaonuan’s eyes were bright. She was very happy because her sister was thinking about her.

    She looked at Shen Qingyu expectantly: “Really? Is it particularly delicious?”

    When Shen Qingyu saw the instantly clear face, the smile in her eyes deepened: “It’s not bad.”

    Soon, the red wine came first.The waiters were professional in opening bottles, decanting the wine, and then pouring wine for the four guests.

    The deep red wine liquid ripples in the transparent wine glass, exuding a mellow aroma.

    “Have a taste.”

    “Sister, I don’t drink.” Chen Xiaonuan shook his head quickly, his face wrinkled: “The wine tastes bitter and strong, not good, and it also smokes the brain. I can drink soda. Sister, please order me a soda.”

    Shen Qingyu patiently explained: “It’s not bitter, just try it and see.”

    Chen Xiaonuan looked at the beautiful red liquid with suspicion. Under Shen Qingyu’s encouraging gaze, he carefully picked up the cup and took a sip.

    Hey hey?

    As expected, the entrance does not have the irritating punch of ordinary liquor or beer, but is very soft, with a fruity and oak barrel aroma, a mellow taste, and a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste.

    “It seems… not bad.” Chen Xiaonuan’s eyes widened slightly, as if he had discovered a new world, and he couldn’t help but take a sip.

    When Shen Qingyu saw Chen Xiaonuan’s tentative movements, the corners of her lips curved.

    When Suman next to her saw this scene, goosebumps appeared all over her body, and she trembled.

    “Who is Qing Yu possessed by?”

    She spoke in a very low voice to Qin Siyu, fearing that Shen Qingyu would hear her if she spoke louder.

    Qin Siyu took a sip of wine and shrugged helplessly: “Maybe it’s the charm of love.”

    Suman: “Tsk, tsk, tsk, that’s something ordinary people like us can’t understand. It’s really scary to be so attentive when the thousand-year-old iron tree blooms.”

    Qin Siyu said quietly from the side: “Maybe in the future, when you fall in love, you will be crazier than Qing Yu.”

    “Tsk, how is that possible?” Beauty Su said disdainfully, quite narcissistically, “I am the only reason why others are crazy about me, but there is no reason why I should be crazy about others.”

    “That’s not necessarily the case.”
