BXBX NOVEL Chapter 67 - 67 Vacation
There were several large villas here, and each of them had a special hot spring.
There was also a market in the hotel that was very suitable for exploring, so it was an ideal destination for couples and families to go on a vacation.
On New Year’s Day, Tong Pei personally came to pick Guo Miao up.
Tong Pei had a personal driver, but when he was with Guo Miao, he always wanted to drive by himself. Although he didn’t know why, he enjoyed the feeling of Guo Miao sitting in the front passenger seat.
Compared to the last time they met, Guo Miao had cut her hair and, for the first time, she wore contact lenses. Without the glasses, her eyes looked even more beautiful.
She was wearing a simple black sweater and a red plaid scarf today, looking like a little girl next door.
After Guo Miao got in the car, Tong Pei handed her a warm latte.
Tong Pei was a very considerate person who would always prepare good things for his friends.
Sheng Ying, who was sitting in the back seat, saw Guo Miao and immediately greeted her. “Did you bring a bathrobe and a swimsuit?”
“I bought some nearby yesterday.” After all, bathrobes and swimsuits could be bought near the hotel.
Sheng Ying pursed her lips. “Grandma Sheng asked me to bring one, but it seems that I can’t give it to you this time.”
Guo Miao laughed. The Sheng family loved to give gifts, even when they went out for fun.
“I’ve prepared a set too. You can take a look at it later. If you like it, you can take it back,” Tong Pei said.
Sheng Ying was shocked. Since when did Tong Pei become so considerate? “Tong Pei, are you that considerate? Was the Tong Pei I knew a fake?”
Tong Pei had been a stony-faced devil in their circle since he was young. He was decisive in killing and was quite cold. He also rarely gave gifts to others.
The few times he gave Sheng Ying gifts, they were all birthday gifts or returning gifts for the graduation party. This was the first time Sheng Ying saw Tong Pei giving a girl a gift.
“Well, I let the secretary pick one,” Tong Pei coldly replied.
The three of them chatted along the way and soon arrived at the hotel Villa. Sheng Xun and Sheng Guang also arrived.
It was almost noon, so Sheng Ying suggested having hotpot nearby.
In such cold weather, hotpot was good for warming the stomach, thus they all agreed with Sheng Ying’s opinion. There happened to be a self-service hotpot restaurant nearby with a variety of meat and seafood.
After they sat down in the restaurant, Tong Pei stood up and went to help get the dishes. Sheng Ying also attentively helped Guo Miao to heat up the food.
With them, Guo Miao didn’t even need to lift a finger, and there would be endless seafood and meat.
Sheng Ying kept asking Guo Miao what she liked to eat, and after getting an answer, she started to help prepare the dishes. Tong Pei also helped to prepare the vegetables.
Soon, Guo Miao’s plate was full.
“You don’t have to be so dramatic. I can’t finish it all. You guys should eat more too,” Guo Miao said with a smile as she gave some food to Sheng Ying and Tong Pei.
Seeing Guo Miao put food in his bowl, Tong Pei smiled and told Guo Miao to eat quickly.
Sheng Ying’s eyes darted between the two of them. She clicked her tongue as she ate.
“Tong Pei, you treating me so differently. We’ve been good friends for so many years, but you’ve never put food into my bowl.”
Sheng Guang also said, “That’s right. Ever since I regained my vision, Tong Pei has stopped putting food in my bowl. I’m short-sighted now. Can’t you at least show me some concern?”
Tong Pei laughed as he picked up a carrot for Sheng Guang. While munching on the carrot, Sheng Guang complained unhappily.
The atmosphere at the dining table was joyous and harmonious.
Guo Miao had never experienced such a pleasant dining atmosphere in her previous life. When she was in the Guo family, the family ate as if it was business. Everyone was concerned about whether Guo Lin had eaten well, but no one cared about her.
In the era of the Empire, human food had evolved to the extreme of simplicity. People would only eat more elaborate dishes during Chinese New Year and festivals.
However, at that time, Guo Miao was always working tirelessly, so she rarely sat down with anyone and had a happy meal.
But now, she was sitting with this group of friends, cooking hot pot, and the warm food warmed her heart.
After the meal, the few of them prepared to return to the hotel to soak in the hot spring.
