There were also two small bowls of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which, though not as exaggerated as those in biographies or folk tales, were still quite delicious.
The last dish was a vegetarian dish, but it had the grandest name: "Half Moon Sinking into the River".
The name has its own story, but it's not convenient to say more.
"how do you feel?"
After indulging in the feast, Gu Qing asked with a smile.
"Although it's a different flavor, it tastes really good!"
After taking a sip of soup, Su Xiyue looked up at Gu Qing sitting opposite her.
Perhaps it was because of the soup that his body felt warm, causing a faint blush to appear on the boy's face.
A few rays of sunlight fell on his hair. Although he didn't smile, they swept away his indifference and made people feel radiant.
Her skin was white and luminous, like a layer of shimmering moonlight.
"Gu Qing, I feel like you always manage to find delicious food for me. If this keeps up, I'm going to become a picky eater!"
Su Xiyue wiped her mouth and said jokingly.
Her intention was to praise Gu Qing, which also revealed a degree of dependence on him.
But to her surprise, Gu Qing glanced at her and continued to refill the cup with tea.
He only put down the teapot when the tea was seven-tenths full, saying, "If your taste buds are only at this level, then you are indeed easily satisfied."
Gu Qing's words were half-joking.
He just wanted to tell the girl that there are countless other delicious foods in the world.
But Su Xiyue didn't think so at all.
Upon hearing this, the girl first looked at Gu Qing's delicate and rounded earlobe, then at her glistening pink lips after sipping tea.
Then down, and down again...
Unfortunately, the table blocked her view.
Su Xiyue pursed her lips, retorting defiantly, "Gu Qing, you'll find out how powerful my tongue is in the future!"
"Then I'll wait and see."
Gu Qing smiled and said that the girl's stubborn appearance was rather cute.
"I just hope that Gu Qing won't blush and be too embarrassed to even look at me then..." Su Xiyue thought silently to herself.
……
After a satisfying meal and a short rest, the two stepped onto the pedestrian street outside the restaurant.
After walking several dozen meters, I entered a shopping mall.
The cool air from the air conditioner helped me regain some energy.
Since the socks she ordered online would take several days to arrive, Gu Qing brought Su Xiyue to the mall, hoping to cool off a bit.
After browsing for a while, the two successfully found a chain department store.
Gu Qing grabbed a few pairs of plain white socks and also bought some hair ties.
Just as they were about to head to the counter to pay, they saw Su Xiyue holding a ceramic orange cat-shaped desktop ornament.
"how about this?"
The girl presented it to Gu Qing.
Gu Qing glanced at it; its appearance was indeed endearingly simple.
"It's fine." Gu Qing nodded.
"Then I'll buy it. Give me the checkout!"
After Su Xiyue finished speaking, she took the things from Gu Qing's hands.
Gu Qing didn't stop them, after all, all of this added up to only a hundred or two hundred yuan.
At worst, we can just add it to the girl's living expenses next month.
After paying the bill, Su Xiyue quickly carried a bag to Gu Qing. After taking a couple of steps, she suddenly looked at the sign in the distance and asked:
"Gu Qing, there's a movie theater here. Want to catch a movie?"
"Hmm...that's fine, but what would you like to see?"
Gu Qing has watched a fair number of films and television shows in this world.
There are many documentaries and science films, but few entertainment-oriented TV series and movies.
In a world where gender roles are reversed, many plot points made Gu Qing feel out of place and awkward.
For example, Gu Qing couldn't concentrate on watching "The Domineering Female CEO Falls in Love with Me," a show that Zhou Jie liked.
It's not that there's anything wrong with female CEOs; on the contrary, Gu Qing admires independent women with careers.
What he couldn't accept was the so-called "naive and innocent" male lead.
If the screenwriter had eaten even half a walnut more, they wouldn't have written such a brainless plot.
"How's War Fox 2?"
Su Xiyue asked tentatively.
Today I visited the Military Museum with Gu Qing. Judging from this, Gu Qing should be able to accept this kind of military war movie.
"Let's go with this one!" Gu Qing said.
He really couldn't have any expectations for these movies.
However, when he arrived at the movie theater on the top floor with Su Xiyue and saw the posters on the rack, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Fox Spirit Battle 2, starring Wu Jing!"
Or should we wait and see?
Gu Qing thought about it carefully.
133. Gu Qing and Su Xiyue's roommates meet.
After storing her purchases in the temporary locker, Su Xiyue retrieved her tickets and went to the counter.
Just as Gu Qing was wondering what the girl was up to, she saw her carrying a bucket of freshly popped popcorn and two cups of iced cola.
Gu Qing quickly stepped forward to take it.
"Didn't you just finish eating? How can you still eat?"
Looking at the popcorn, Gu Qing was puzzled.
"Let's just treat it as dessert after dinner..."
Su Xiyue smiled sheepishly; only she knew her true thoughts.
When they finally watch a movie together, it's perfectly normal for them to grab popcorn from the same bucket and rub their hands together, right?
Ten minutes later, Gu Qing and Su Xiyue passed through the ticket gate and entered the screening room.
Whether it was due to the showtime or intentional, Su Xiyue bought a ticket for a small hall.
There weren't many spectators, and couples were rare; people were scattered around and took their seats.
Gu Qing looked at the seat number on the movie ticket and finally sat down in the corner of the back row.
"Why didn't you choose the middle one?" Gu Qing asked.
Su Xiyue stared intently at the large screen, which hadn't yet shown its content, and said without looking away:
"There was a couple in the middle. I noticed that everyone was intentionally avoiding them when choosing seats, so I went along with it."
Gu Qing nodded, looking at the man and woman in the middle, and accepted Su Xiyue's explanation.
Popcorn was placed on the armrest between the two, while Coke was placed on their respective outer sides.
A few dozen seconds later, the lights in the screening room went out, and in the darkness, the movie began to play on the big screen.
The plot of Fox of War 2 is not complicated, and Gu Qing even found it somewhat familiar; it can be compared to Wolf Warrior 2.
According to the world's aesthetic standards, although the lead actor Wu Jing is not handsome enough, he is brave and valiant enough.
In addition, the storyline, which leans towards the mainstream ideology, is very likely to evoke a sense of national pride.
Su Xiyue originally wanted to take advantage of the movie to have more intimate interactions with Gu Qing, but she didn't expect to become more and more engrossed in the movie.
It wasn't until the very end of the movie that Su Xiyue, with slightly red eyes, looked at Gu Qing beside her.
Perhaps due to her extensive experience, Gu Qing's threshold for empathy is relatively high, unlike Su Xiyue.
"Gu Qing, what do you think of this movie?"
As the end credits rolled, Su Xiyue asked.
"not bad."
