"Yao Jia?!
It can't be?
Why would she call me? "
Zhao Yu thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. He hesitated for a while before pressing the answer button. Originally, he thought it was Hao Jiajun harassing Yao Jia again and asking for his help. Who knew that Yao Jia would ask Zhao Yu to have lunch with her!
"No way?"
Zhao Yu was overjoyed. He never would have thought that the beauty he had been thinking about would ask him out on her own. He was so excited that he couldn't even speak properly. It took him a while to recover.
After asking for the address, Zhao Yu rushed to a hotpot restaurant on Dongyang Road.
The hotpot restaurant was called Liuhe Restaurant. It had been open for more than thirty years. The restaurant was a two-story building. The building was almost antique, with green bricks and green tiles. The walls were mottled with age.
But because of the authentic taste, the hotpot restaurant was very popular. It was full of people. Even in the afternoon, people needed to reserve a seat in advance.
When Zhao Yu arrived, Yao Jia was already waiting in the restaurant. Private rooms were reserved for six or more people. There were only two of them, so they could only sit in the hall.
"Sorry, Officer Zhao!" Looking at the noisy environment, Yao Jia said shyly, "It's my first time treating you to a place like this. It's a bit rude!"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Zhao Yu was flattered and felt a bit helpless. He wanted to pour a cup of tea for Yao Jia, but he almost spilled it on her.
"Officer Zhao, have you eaten here before?" Yao Jia asked as she opened the cutlery for Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu shook his head. Before he traveled to this world, he had often come to this area to cause trouble, but he had never seen a hotpot restaurant like this.
"Then you're finally here. Don't be fooled by the environment, but the taste is amazing! Try it later. The mutton is the freshest! "Yao Jia smiled sweetly, which made Zhao Yu even more distracted.
Although the environment was old and shabby, and the people were all over the place, it made Yao Jia stand out from the crowd.
"Buddy!" Yao Jia called out to the waiter. "Two plates of lamb, two bottles of beer, and a side dish!" Then, she turned around and smiled at Zhao Yu. "I lived here when I was young. It's full of memories! Look … "
She pointed to the wall beside the stairs and saw a large poster hanging there. However, the poster was covered with oil stains from the smoke. Other than the words "follow your feelings", nothing else could be seen!
"Follow your feelings!" Yao Jia said excitedly. "This is a very, very old song. Do you know? The singer who sang this song had eaten mutton hotpot from this restaurant before! Her name is … What's her name again … "
Just as Yao Jia was reminiscing, a voice suddenly came from the table next to her. "Su Rui! Follow your feelings, please hold my hand! Hehe … "
Zhao Yu and Yao Jia turned their heads at the same time and saw a red-faced man in a suit sitting at the table next to them. The man only had one thing in common, and that was his red face. It was so red that it looked like he was wearing makeup. What was even more interesting was that he didn't have any companions. He was eating by himself.
"Yes, yes, yes …" Yao Jia nodded.
"What a coincidence, I also lived nearby when I was young. It seems like … I studied hard just to eat the mutton hotpot here! " The red-faced man laughed. "Now, whenever I return to Qinshan, the first thing I do is come here to eat, hehe …"
Out of politeness, Yao Jia smiled at him.
"Oh, right!" The red-faced man continued, "I live in Yaowang Village, what about you?"
"Aiya, Yaowang Village, I know that place. It's so close to my house! I live in Xiaotun! "Yao Jia was obviously excited.
The red-faced man wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Zhao Yu's shout.
"Hey!" Zhao Yu thought to himself. "Is this proper? She's finally treating me to a meal, who do you think you are? " Zhao Yu shouted at him with a dark face, "Eat your food! Why are you talking so much nonsense? She didn't even ask you, why are you talking? "
"You?" The red-faced man had never seen anyone speak so harshly, but he couldn't get angry just because of one sentence, so he turned around and continued eating.
"Officer Zhao!" Yao Jia pouted. "She didn't mean any harm, why are you so mean!"
"Hey, you're wrong!" Zhao Yu pretended to be polite. "What do I do? Look at this guy, eating mutton hotpot alone, his face is as red as Guan Yu's, and he starts talking whenever a pretty girl talks! He's definitely not a good person! Miss Yao Jia, you're so pretty, but you have to be careful! "
Hearing Zhao Yu's direct compliment, Yao Jia blushed slightly, but she was afraid that Zhao Yu's words would be heard by the red-faced man, so she became more nervous.
Luckily, because of the noise, the red-faced man did not hear Zhao Yu's slander.
Because of the Miracle System, Zhao Yu was not careless. Ever since Yao Jia said she wanted to treat him to a meal, he had already realized that there was a miracle in it.
So, after entering Liuhe House, he had been wondering if there would be any clues related to the Slaughter Case. Just like when he was solving the Lost Hand Case, he had accidentally entered the music hall.
However, the location of the hotpot restaurant was too far away from the upscale residential area, and the hexagram today didn't have the word "Gen", which represented work. So, he decided to just have a good meal with Yao Jia and not think too much about it.
"Officer Zhao!" Yao Jia's words interrupted Zhao Yu's thoughts. "Actually … I should have treated you a long time ago! If it wasn't for you helping me get my bag back, I would have lost a lot! Also, at the hospital, if it wasn't for you, I don't know how the farce with Hao Jiajun would have ended! "
"You're welcome, I'm a police officer! It's my job! "Zhao Yu was good at flattering himself.
As they spoke, the hotpot, mutton, and side dishes had already been brought to the table by the waiter. The two of them mixed their seasonings and started the hotpot.
"Actually! I won't hide it from you … "Yao Jia had only taken a few bites when she suddenly blushed." That bag of mine isn't worth much, but because it was given to me by my boyfriend … so … it's very precious. If it was taken away, I really wouldn't know what to do! "
Hearing the sensitive word "boyfriend," Zhao Yu dropped the piece of mutton back into the pot.
Tsk tsk …
Who would have thought that Yao Jia really did have a boyfriend!
[This is not fun …]
"Officer Zhao!" Yao Jia pouted, but did not say anything, as if there was something embarrassing.
"What is it?" Zhao Yu asked.
"Actually … there's another thing that I wanted to trouble you with …" Yao Jia blushed as she lowered her head.
"Oh?" Zhao Yu suddenly understood. After all this time, Yao Jia had invited him for a meal with an ulterior motive! But since she had said that, he had to say something. He said without hesitation, "It's okay, go ahead! As long as I can help, no problem! "
