Gabriel boarded the plane to Huaxia earlier than Chu Xiao, but Chu Xiao and Yuan Zhou did not know about this.
On the other side, Chu Xiao immediately started to arrange his schedule after learning about Yuan Zhou's dessert party. He planned to take three days to go to the Yuanzhou shop.
However, taking three days to go to the Yuanzhou shop would require five days of free time. As such, Chu Xiao was very busy recently.
Due to the time difference, just as Chu Xiao was about to start preparing dinner, Yuan Zhou had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Yuan Zhou had always been very organized and planned. Sleeping was a serious rest, but someone was tossing and turning in bed.
This person was none other than Ling Hong.
Speaking of which, Ling Hong was quite pitiful. It was not that he did not want to go out for the past few days, but he could not.
The reason was not because he was confined by Grandfather Ling because he drank too much or courted death. It was because he had severe alcohol poisoning after drinking that day.
Because he did not vomit, the alcohol could not be excreted through this method. Thus, it accumulated in his body, resulting in severe alcohol poisoning.
He did not wake up that day. He lay in the guest room downstairs with a drip for the entire night. During this time, Grandfather Ling even asked the family doctor what was going on.
After the family doctor explained, he found out that he was suffering from alcohol poisoning and had already taken medication. He could only wait for the alcohol to be excreted by the medication before he could wake up.
Just like what the family doctor said, Ling Hong woke up the next morning. However, his condition was terrible.
Because of his headache, he even used his head like a hammer, banging it on the ground. The hair on his head drooped down and his face was pale without a trace of blood. His consciousness was blurry and he did not look good.
If it was not for the fact that he was sent to the hospital for a major checkup, Grandfather Ling would have had a heart attack.
Under such circumstances, Ling Hong had to take another full day's drip. Naturally, he could not go to the Yuanzhou shop.
It wasn't until the third day that Ling Hong regained consciousness. His mind was clear, but because he hadn't eaten for three days and only relied on salt water, his whole body was weak and powerless. He couldn't move even when he was lying on the bed.
It was all thanks to Grandfather Ling that he was unable to move. Because he had bumped into the mattress, the wall, and the floor yesterday, Grandfather Ling had used restraints to tie Ling Hong to the bed.
If not for the fact that Ling Hong wanted to go to the toilet by himself, Grandfather Ling would not have undone it.
"My dog life is more important." Grandfather Ling only had this reply to Ling Hong's request to remove his restraints.
On the third day, Ling Hong was tied up for an IV drip for the whole day. Naturally, he didn't have time to visit the Yuanzhou shop. Ruan Xiaoqing, who hadn't seen Ling Hong for three days, couldn't sleep at night because of the pain.
"Oh." Ruan Xiaoqing gritted her teeth and curled up on the bed. The temperature in the room was very low, but her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. Obviously, she was in great pain.
In the end, Ruan Xiaoqing fell asleep because of the pain. As for Ling Hong, he was tied to the bed and stared at the ceiling for the whole night, thinking about how to say the next day.
As for Yuan Zhou, he slept peacefully for the whole night. He woke up at the fixed time, washed up, and went for a jog.
Wearing black sportswear, Yuan Zhou looked lean and strong. He ran at a steady pace on the streets of Taoxi Road.
When he ran to the door, he suddenly saw someone standing there. At first, Yuan Zhou thought that it was Wuhai who was waiting for breakfast.
However, as he got closer, Yuan Zhou realized that it was Ling Hong.
Ling Hong was dressed in a long khaki windbreaker with a black high-collar pullover inside and a pair of gray jeans. He just stood under the signboard of The Kitchen God with his head lowered, looking very inconspicuous.
"Ling Hong." Yuan Zhou stopped and then said.
"Boss Yuan, I'm jogging." Ling Hong raised his head and greeted him weakly.
"You are here?" Yuan Zhou asked.
"Yes, I am." Ling Hong nodded his head.
"That's good." Yuan Zhou said.
"Yeah." Ling Hong sighed.
"The breakfast is Clear Broth Noodle Soup." Yuan Zhou suddenly said when he saw the dark circles under Ling Hong's eyes.
"Thank you, Boss Yuan." Ling Hong grinned and the gloominess on his face lessened.
"You are welcome." After saying that, Yuan Zhou stood up and started to jog again.
"Thank you." Looking at Yuan Zhou running away, Ling Hong said again.
This time, although Yuan Zhou heard him, he didn't answer him. He just slightly raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a happy expression.
Yuan Zhou didn't ask the reason why Ling Hong didn't come. Anyway, it was good that Ruan Xiaoqing knew about it. It was fine as long as he came.
"It's not too late." Yuan Zhou muttered to himself and then continued to jog at a constant speed.
Because of Ling Hong's arrival, Yuan Zhou's worries were erased and his thoughts became active.
"Speaking of which, I really should find Zhao Mei to hold a snack party." Yuan Zhou thought seriously while running.
"After the snack party, I can hold a cocktail party. Then, the task will be completed." Yuan Zhou calculated in his mind.
"It's not long before I hold my solo exhibition." Yuan Zhou thought about how to show up and how to show his elegance. He started to rehearse in his mind.
"By then, I will be a man who has mastered two of the eight major cuisines, namely Sichuan Cuisine, Cantonese Cuisine, Guizhou Cuisine and Yunnan Cuisine. It will not be a problem for me to conquer the customers." Yuan Zhou thought about his craftsmanship and then nodded his head secretly.
The atmosphere in Yuan Zhou's restaurant became relaxed. He had finished jogging, washed up and started to prepare the Clear Broth Noodle Soup for breakfast. However, the atmosphere outside the restaurant became somewhat stagnant.
The atmosphere even affected Wu Hai who was leaning against the door of Yuan Zhou's restaurant. He couldn't help squeezing into the door and wished he could squeeze into the restaurant in advance.
The reason for all this was the meeting between Ling Hong and Ruan Xiaoqing.
That's right. Ruan Xiaoqing came to Taoxi Road earlier than usual in the morning.
When she walked into Taoxi Road, Ruan Xiaoqing suddenly had a premonition. As expected, she saw Ling Hong standing there when she walked to the door of the restaurant.
Ling Hong was too conspicuous. He was tall and handsome. Coupled with his temperament, Ruan Xiaoqing couldn't ignore him at all.
Ruan Xiaoqing originally wanted to stay where she was and not go forward. However, it was too conspicuous. Therefore, Ruan Xiaoqing finally walked over at her usual speed as if nothing had happened.
However, Ling Hong didn't give Ruan Xiaoqing a chance. Seeing Ruan Xiaoqing's eyes light up, he strode toward her immediately.
His posture made it difficult for Ruan Xiaoqing to avoid him.
When he arrived in front of Ruan Xiaoqing, Ling Hong didn't speak immediately. Instead, he looked at Ruan Xiaoqing seriously and gently. From her eyebrows, eyes, nose to her pale red lips, Ling Hong didn't miss a single detail.
Normally, Ling Hong wouldn't do such a rude thing. However, he obviously couldn't restrain himself this time.
When Ruan Xiaoqing wanted to speak, Ling Hong took action.
Ling Hong took a step back and slightly lowered his head, saying, "I'm sorry that I didn't come here for three days and made you worry. I know that if you didn't come here for three days, I'm afraid I would go crazy."
Yes, Ling Hong apologized for his silent disappearance, nothing else.
However, Ling Hong's words were cunning and sincere …
