Chapter 1317: Act Fast

But before he could say anything, Ajiu had opened her mouth and said to the other side of the phone, “Grandpa, don’t talk nonsense. What can my little brother worry about? I like him so much and I’m afraid that he would run away. That’s why I proposed to him.”

Upon hearing this, Old Master Bai was stunned, and then he laughed loudly. “Your little brother won’t be able to run away for the rest of his life!”

“Yes, I know. Military marriages were protected by the law. We could not get divorce randomly,” Ajiu clenched Bai Zhun’s hand and said very seriously. “My little brother will be mine from now on.”

Although it was a wonderful thing to hear, Bai Zhun also knew that if he continued to speak, the old master’s laughter would never stop.

He decisively took the phone from Ajiu’s hand and hung up for her.

Bai Zhun knew very well what his grandfather was like. He reckoned that his grandfather had already started to call those grandfathers in the residential area to brag about what had happened today.

The thought made him shake his head with a smile.

Ajiu did not understand what he was laughing about. Just then, she felt that her stomach was very empty, so she reached out to touch it and looked up. “Little Brother, I’m hungry.”

“I know. I’ll take you to the place where you usually eat,” Bai Zhun said as he patted her head. Her breath was warm and her appearance was handsome.

It could be said that when he was always treating Ajiu in a very gentle manner.

The two of them went to a vegetarian restaurant. Usually, a restaurant like this would not have low prices in good places, and the environment was also elegant.

But the restaurant in front of them was one of the most famous stores in the entire capital.

Because it was quiet and well-hidden, it was preferred by the upper-class people and big stars.

This restaurant had been operating for three years. It was said that the real boss had never appeared. Everyone only knew that he was a son of a high-ranking official. He came from the military compound, but no one knew who he was.

However, there was one thing. No one dared to cause trouble here, and no paparazzi followed them.

Because it was very simple. Whoever did something here would pay the price the next day.

Similarly, this restaurant was not like other vegetarian restaurants, which rejected ordinary people because of the good environment.

The dishes in the restaurant were absolutely worth it. As long as one could find this restaurant, the chef would provide one with the best dishes.

Even if you only ordered one serving of old Beijing fried sauce noodles, the sauce was well-placed. The fresh cucumber strips and shredded green onion were added into the noodles, and half a teaspoon of oil was poured on top of it. The piercing aroma was accompanied by the store’s special grapefruit cold tea. It was extremely delicious.

The authentic taste, childhood memories, and every bite would make people want to raise their thumbs up.

According to their chef, the Boss had told them to make this noodles well.

Other than white rice, his girl’s favorite food was fried sauce made from eggs. With a big bowl of noodles, she could eat several big bowls of noodles when she was young.

People guessed that the owner of the restaurant opened this restaurant probably because of the girl he mentioned.

The name of the restaurant only had one word, ‘Temple’.

The signboard was made of mahogany.

After Bai Zhun walked in with Ajiu, a waiter dressed in a cheongsam immediately came up to them with a smile. “Sir, how many people are there?”

“Two.”

“Yes, Sir, this way please.”

The waiter arranged for them to sit by the window. Ajiu could just see the flowers blooming outside and the green stone walls where she sat. The ancient charm was very pleasing to the eye.

Ajiu truly felt that this restaurant was very comfortable.

The waiter looked at her and smiled. “Miss, I don’t know if you have a character ‘Jiu’ in your name. If there is one, please let me know in advance. Our restaurant will provide a free order service.”

“Free?” Ajiu’s beautiful tiger eyes became round. “That good?”

In response, the waiter explained, “This is the rule since we opened the restaurant. It has never changed.”

“Then I have a nine in my name.”Ajiu said with a serious face, “Bai Lijiu, but I eat a lot. Will I have a free meal too?”

When the waiter heard her words, he originally needed the customer to show his ID card for her to confirm his name. However, suddenly, the waiter chose not to ask for his ID card. His thin lips curled. “No, Miss, just eat as much as you can. Our restaurant likes girls who can eat.”

After hearing that, Ajiu turned her head and said to Bai Zhun, “Little Brother, this restaurant is so cute. It likes girls who can eat, and it’s free.”

Bai Zhun did not look surprised. Instead, he pulled her hand over and let her look at the menu together. He asked in a low voice, “How about eating fried sauce noodles?”

“Yes!” Ajiu liked to eat everything that was edible.

While rubbing her forehead, he elegantly returned the menu to the waiter. “We would like two big bowls of fried sauce noodles. Put more sauce in one of the bowls. Mke sure the eggs are medium-rare.”

This was the first time the waiter had met someone who asked for the temperature of the eggs in the fried sauce noodles. After a pause, he smiled and said, “Yes, sir.”

Ajiu was still rubbing her stomach. She looked eagerly at the stir-fried dishes on the next table before she shifted her eyes to the little brother who was very close to her.

In the end, she still placed her gaze on Bai Zhun’s face.

It seemed that the little brother looked more delicious.

“Ajiu.” Bai Zhun seemed to sigh. He put down the Teacup at his fingertips, then turned his body to the side and lifted her chin. Taking advantage of the time when others were not paying attention, he gently bit her lips. His voice was very low and somewhat hoarse. “How many times have I said? When you’re outside, please don’t look at me like this.”

Ajiu was bitten until her face turned red. Her eyes were calm, but her hands were not idle. She took Bai Zhun’s hand and wrote the word “hungry” on his palm one stroke at a time.

She wrote it three times in total. right then, Bai Zhun only felt something as soft as a feather caressing his heart.

Outside the window was the faint fragrance of Osmanthus. The early autumn wind was very comfortable. If only time could stop like this.

That was the deepest thought in Bai Zhun’s heart at that moment.

However, he knew better than anyone that it was still not the time.

He would only be discharged from the army in another three years.

“Sir, Miss, your noodles.”

The waiter smiled faintly and brought two large bowls over. The fried sauce noodles were arranged very nicely. Other than the sauce, there were also various types of side dishes as well as two large cups of herbal tea. At the bottom of the bowls was a tiger-headed fish that was still swimming. The rim of the bowl were matched with lotus leaves, which had been modified into an umbrella to keep the cold tea fragrant.

Just such a beautiful plate arrangement was enough to animate one’s appetite.

Bai Zhun took the wooden chopsticks. First, he put some balsamic vinegar on the fried sauce noodles. Then, he scooped a spoonful of spicy oil and poured it over. He mixed the noodles back and forth before handing it to her hand.

Ajiu’s face was small, and that bowl was especially big. When she buried her head in her food, her entire face seemed to be buried in it. The two strands of hair on her head were still standing upright, which made her look like cat.

The more Ajiu ate, the brighter her eyes became. It was like the taste of the noodles that little brother had made during her exams before this!
