Bro, you are a policeman, not a thug.

Outside the courtyard.

Ye Wu, who couldn't stand the sweet abuse of dogs, drove away.

Before leaving, he said to his younger brother, "Come to the Ministry of State Security tomorrow!"

Xiao Mu's heart trembled.

He also thought of something.

The State Security still owed him a credit, what could it be?

"Go home."

Ye Qiu shook his arm, her slender and curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and her face was a little red, "Take a bath."

What are you blushing about?

Xiao Mu thought about it and laughed.

When he was in Lancheng, he said he would take a bath when he got home.

He also wanted Brother Qiu to massage his shoulders.

She agreed!

...

In the bathroom.

Xiao Mu took off his clothes and soaked in the bathtub.

The warm water was as smooth as silk, and all the fatigue was slowly dissipating.

Feeling the warmth in the bathtub, the whole world became soft and comfortable.

Xiao Mu wanted to hum comfortably.

Suddenly.

Footsteps were heard, and a figure came to the bathtub.

Sitting on a small chair, she stretched out a pair of jade-like hands and fell on Xiao Mu's shoulders.

Gently kneading and massaging him.

It feels good... Xiao Mu grinned and laughed silently, "Use a little more force, haven't you eaten?"

Ye Qiuli rolled her eyes beautifully, puffed her cheeks, and used more force.

"Brother Qiu, why don't you dare to go out?"

Xiao Mu asked with a smile with his eyes closed.

"I don't know."

Ye Qiuli's voice became weaker and weaker.

"Let me tell you a story about myself?"

Xiao Mu held a small hand on his shoulder.

Kneading and playing.

"Yeah." Ye Qiuli nodded.

"In the past, I was very face-conscious."

Xiao Mu smiled and said, "I still remember the first time I went to a western restaurant for dinner, my friend told me that I had to order a medium-rare steak, otherwise I would be laughed at. At that time, I was afraid that others would laugh at me for being ignorant and laughing that I couldn't even eat western food. In the future, I will only order medium-rare when I go to eat."

A pair of arms hugged his neck from behind.

Ye Qiuli murmured in a low voice, "What happened next?"

"Later, I seemed to have grown up suddenly and understood a lot of things."

Xiao Mu smiled and said, "Just think about it, since we came to this world, we didn't plan to go back alive, so what is there to be afraid of, so ashamed, why pretend, why do you want face?"

"Haha..."

Ye Qiuli giggled like a hen, "What happened next?"

Since we came to this world, we didn't plan to go back alive?

Listening to your words is better than a speech!

"Later I realized that face is shit. Why should I sacrifice myself for face, for fear of embarrassment, for fear of being laughed at?"

Xiao Mu said happily: "I went to a western restaurant with my friends again and ordered steak. The waiter asked me how well done it was. I said well done, at least a little burnt, I don't like it too tender."

"As a result, the waiter was confused, and my friends looked at me like a fool."

"At that time, instead of feeling embarrassed, I felt indescribably happy."

"The waiter's eyes had a hint of contempt, and he told me that they only had 70% and 90% well, and asked me if 90% well was okay?"

"I told him that I wanted well done. If your chef can't make it, I can go to the kitchen to teach him."

"The waiter left, and our friends still looked at me like a fool."

Xiao Mu opened his eyes, looked at Qiu Ge who was close at hand, and asked with a smile, "Guess what happened later?"

Ye Qiu shook her head, with a curious look on her face.

"The chef personally brought the steak to me, gave me a glass of wine, a pair of chopsticks, and cut the steak for me."

Xiao Mu continued: "The chef said, brother, you know how to eat. Do you know that if you know that the customer does not order well-done, everyone in the kitchen will laugh at him. We chefs also eat well-done. Foreigners' taste is not suitable for us. You come here one by one to order a steak of a few well-done. What kind of pretense is this?"

Ye Qiuli looked stunned.

She was thinking, how could it be like this?

But after tasting it carefully, she felt that it should be like this.

This is Longguo.

Longguo people don't like to eat uncooked meat, and many Western dishes are not suitable for Longguo people.

As a chef, this kind of thing is clearer than anyone else.

But the chef saw a group of Longguo people, in order to save face and pretend, to learn to eat like foreigners and adapt to foreigners' tastes.

Do you think the chef will not laugh at you for being a fool?

How idiotic are you to pay for your trouble?

Ye Qiuli thought of a joke.

Primitive man: We discovered fire, and finally we can eat cooked food.

Modern man: We want to eat raw food.

Do you think it's funny?

"Later, I became friends with that chef, and he told me a secret."

Xiao Mu smiled and said, "He said that well-done food is actually a test of a chef's skills, because if it's not done well, it's hard to bite, or the taste is bad, so most Western chefs, rubbish chefs, are reluctant to make it well-done, which is a test of their skills, and they are afraid that if they mess up, they will ruin their reputation, and 7 points and 9 points are the simplest ways,"

"For example, if you order a well-done dish, you will know the skills after taking a bite. If it's not delicious, you can frown after taking the first bite, spit it out with a wet towel, shake your head, and get up and leave."

"Any high-end Western restaurant will keep you, let the kitchen make another one, and let the kitchen staff with a high status do it."

"Bring another one, take a bite, spit it out, and angrily say to the supervisor: You think it's fun to waste my time, right?"

"Then, you can eat the well-done steak that the chef of this western restaurant personally makes for you...the one that those idiots look down on."

"Because the best steak, the steak that tests the most skills, is well-done."

"And my chef friend said, brother, you don't know anything, when you asked for a well-done steak, the waiter exaggerated it, and our kitchen staff thought it was someone who was here to make trouble, and we were almost scared to death, so I came out to bring you wine, you almost scared me to death."

"Brother Qiu, do you think it's funny?"

"Haha..."

Ye Qiu laughed so hard that her body shook, "It's fun."

She found that the story of the child was not about steak or western food at all.

It was to let her be bolder and braver to get in touch with new things.

What shame, what face, what fear, what are they all?

"Get it?"

Xiao Mu turned his head and suddenly kissed her cheek.

"Yeah!"

Ye Qiuling blushed, but didn't hide, her cheeks flushed.

"Brother Qiu, you might as well be brave.

Xiao Mu held Ye Qiuling's hand, "Life is still long, and the end of the story is still far away. Let's work hard together, what do you say?"

Ye Qiuling's beautiful eyes were more dazzling than ever before, like a pair of twinkling stars.

Then, she really became bold.

Kissed the child's cheek and whispered.

"Okay!"
