Chapter 762: Treasure
Mu Xiaoyu felt extremely embarrassed by their barrage of comments, her face burning with shame. She had truly been repeatedly humiliated today. However, she couldn't be entirely blamed; even someone else might have felt the same way.
Fortunately, she is always the kind of person who admits her mistakes and corrects them. So when she heard Li Chenxu's words, she coughed lightly and said, "Chenxu and I have similar tastes. If he says something is delicious, then it must be delicious."
“I’m glad you like it. I’ve heard Mr. Li talk about you before, but I’ve never had the chance to meet you in person. Now that I’ve met you, you are just as beautiful as you are on TV, no, even more beautiful than on TV.”
The boss and his wife are both very simple and honest people. Their praise for Mu Xiaoyu is genuine and not because of Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu's status, but because they are trying to flatter and please them.
Mu Xiaoyu hadn't thought much of the food here before, but now it turns out that not only is the food delicious, but the owners are also very nice.
Mu Xiaoyu was already a shy person, and now that they were praising her like this, she immediately felt embarrassed.
"No, I'm just average."
"Mrs. Li, there's no need to be modest. If you're really just average-looking, then people like us are truly too ugly to be seen in public."
"Alright, alright, let's eat and talk. Mr. and Mrs. Li rarely come together, and it's so late now. Let them eat something first and then we can talk slowly."
Seeing that the proprietress was about to talk to Mu Xiaoyu, the owner quickly stopped her. It was already past lunchtime, and Mu Xiaoyu and her group had arrived quite late. If they were delayed any longer, the food they had just prepared might be used as their dinner.
The proprietress was a smart woman. Reminded by her husband, she immediately gave Mu Xiaoyu and the others an apologetic smile: "Look at my mouth, once I start talking, I just can't stop. Mr. and Mrs. Li, please don't mind, let's eat first."
Mu Xiaoyu was indeed hungry, and after tasting the worm and the tea, her appetite was fully awakened. So she stopped being reserved, nodded, and began to eat.
She was never very talkative when eating with Li Chenxu, and now she was extremely hungry. So, once they started eating, Mu Xiaoyu ate her food quickly, unlike her usual slow and leisurely movements. Her actions weren't unrefined, but it was clear she was eating in a hurry.
The fact that she was in such a hurry to eat shows just how delicious the food the owners make is.
Li Chenxu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh and advised, "Eat slowly, there's no rush. If you're not full, we can stay here to eat again tonight. If it's really not enough, we can come back next time. Don't choke."
He was fine when he didn't speak, but once he did, Mu Xiaoyu really choked.
"Cough cough cough..."
Mu Xiaoyu choked and couldn't speak at all, only coughing incessantly. Li Chenxu was afraid that something might happen to her, so he quickly patted her back to help her catch her breath: "See, I told you to slow down, I told you to slow down, but you didn't listen, and now you've choked."
If Mu Xiaoyu hadn't choked so badly she couldn't speak, she would have rolled her eyes at Li Chenxu. She admitted that she had indeed been eating too hastily. But she was certain she wouldn't choke; if Li Chenxu hadn't said those things in front of the boss and his wife, she wouldn't have choked at all.
If anyone's to blame, it's entirely Li Chenxu's fault!
Mu Xiaoyu mentally vented her frustration at Li Chenxu, but showed no displeasure on her face. After she finished grumbling, she gave the worried-looking boss and his wife an awkward but polite smile and said, "Boss, your food is so delicious! I haven't had such good food in a long time, so I was a little anxious. I'm fine, you don't need to worry."
"I'm glad you like it, Mrs. Li, but please don't rush things. It would be troublesome if something went wrong. If you really like my cooking, I can make some more for you and Mr. Li to take home and enjoy later, how about that?"
This behavior completely convinced them that Mu Xiaoyu was a complete foodie.
Okay, she admits it. When it comes to food, she's incredibly picky and loves to eat; strictly speaking, she is indeed a foodie. But even foodies have their moments. Like right now, she's simply hungry, not because the food the restaurant makes is so delicious!
Mu Xiaoyu had mentally cursed Li Chenxu countless times, but even so, she could only maintain a smile on her face. She even nodded in agreement when she heard her boss's words.
After that incident, no matter how much Mu Xiaoyu wanted to eat, she couldn't eat as quickly as before.
An hour had passed since the meal was finished. Compared to when she first arrived, Mu Xiaoyu was much more relaxed now, and she was no longer as reserved as before when chatting with the boss and the others.
Before she knew them, Mu Xiaoyu always thought they were rural people who didn't understand anything.
But after chatting with them, I learned that they had always lived in the city. They had simply grown tired of the hustle and bustle of city life, which is why they chose to come here. They had basically never left this place over the years.
Their lives may seem somewhat monotonous, but they lead very fulfilling lives.
They no longer dwell on the troubles of city life; here, they live a simple life, able to do what they love. With ample time, they can even read and diligently learn new knowledge. They are now more knowledgeable than before.
During her conversations with the couple, Mu Xiaoyu could sense their extensive knowledge, which far exceeded her previous understanding.
"Why didn't you bring me here sooner? You've unearthed such a huge treasure, and you only brought me here now? That's so unfair!"
They chatted for a long time, and when the owners went to prepare dinner, Mu Xiaoyu immediately tugged at Li Chenxu's sleeve and complained to him in a low voice. Before Li Chenxu could react, she continued, "Also, I don't want to hear those things you said today a second time. If there's a next time, you'll sleep by yourself from now on, and you won't share a bed with me!"
