Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

"It's okay. Just tell me where you live and I'll pick you up when you get out."

"Well, you must come then."

"Oh, Xiao'e, remember to wear thicker clothes. Even though it's very hot at noon, it's still very cold in the morning. Don't catch a cold."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Lou Xiao'e felt Xu Damao's concern, and at the same time, she felt warm in her heart, and secretly happy at the same time, because Xu Damao's performance had completely exceeded her expectations...

The two of them ate and talked, and Xu Damao also told them about the incident when he met a man selling roast chicken on his way back from a screening this morning.

"So which brother are you going to help buy a bicycle for tomorrow?"

"Yes, he is waiting for me at the ghost market. I will take you there when the time comes."

"Um, okay, is the roast chicken made by that big brother really that delicious? I see how much you've praised it."

Xu Damao: "..."

Xu Damao was almost confused by Lou Xiao'e's sudden change of focus.

"Really? This roast chicken is delicious. It has been passed down for more than a hundred years. It is not inferior to the roast duck on this table! When you leave later, I will give you one. You can take it back and try it."

Xu Damao was very generous, which made Lou Xiao'e feel a little embarrassed.

"Thank you, Damao. Next time...next time I'll bring you something delicious. I'll treat you to a meal."

"Okay, I'll wait for you. Keep your word!"

"Once I have spoken, I cannot take it back!"

"Hehe, it seems like the first impression is quite good. After all, if a girl goes on a blind date and doesn't like the guy, she will definitely find all kinds of excuses to run away. There's no way she would say what to do next time..."

Xu Damao was secretly delighted in his heart, but he did not show any expression on the surface, and urged Lou Xiao'e to eat.

"Why did you only eat a few of these shrimps? Come and eat! The shrimp skins and heads are well-processed, very crispy, and very good for calcium. You can grow taller."

As he spoke, he used the serving chopsticks to pick up a few prawns for Lou Xiao'e.

“What is calcium supplementation?”

“It means you can continue to grow taller.”

"Ah, Damao, do you think I'm too short?"

"No, no, I didn't mean that..."

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Xu Damao's nervous look, Lou Xiao'e laughed, but still used chopsticks to put the shrimp that Xu Damao picked up into her mouth and took a bite, with a satisfied expression on her face.

"Well, he's still a little foodie..."

……

After Xu Damao paid the bill, he said hello to Sister Qian, and left Quanjude with Lou Xiao'e.

"Xiao E, where do you live? I'll take you back."

"I live in……"

"Be here at 2:30 a.m., and I'll pick you up. Take this."

Like a magician, Xu Damao stretched out his hand from behind his back, took out a roast chicken wrapped in a lotus leaf and stuffed it into Lou Xiaoe's hand.

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

Lou Xiao'e returned to her home with an expectant expression on her face. When she walked to the door, she turned back and waved to Xu Damao with a sweet smile.

Xu Damao responded with the same sunny and handsome smile of a big boy. After turning around, he immediately wiped his face.

"Oh, after spending some time with Lou Xiao'e, I feel like I've gotten younger..."

Xu Damao smiled self-deprecatingly. Although he had lived two lives as a human, his current appearance was that of a teenager.

After sending Lou Xiao'e home, it was already completely dark. Xu Damao also returned home. On the way, he went to a pastry shop and bought some osmanthus cakes and some melon seeds snacks. He asked the shop owner to pack them and threw them all into his personal space.

Xu Damao pushed the cart into the courtyard.

"Da Mao is back."

"Yeah, Teacher Yan is chilling out here."

"Well, did you go on a blind date after get off work today?"

"Teacher Yan has a keen eye, it is indeed true."

"Hey, that's great, congratulations."

"Whether it can be accomplished is still to be determined. Teacher Yan, it's a little too early for you to congratulate me. I'll go back first. I'm very tired today."

Xu Damao waved his hand and pushed the cart towards the backyard.

There were bursts of aroma coming from He Yuzhu's house next door. This guy couldn't bring a lunch box, so he could only cook at home.

But this guy is really good at it. Look at the spicy smell wafting around, it makes people's appetite increase.

On the other side, Jia Zhang was sitting outside the house. When she saw Xu Damao looking at her, she turned her head away guiltily, avoiding Xu Damao's gaze.

Perhaps he felt that this weakened his momentum, so he turned his head suddenly and glared at Xu Damao fiercely.

But at this time Xu Damao was already looking forward, pushing the cart towards the backyard.

Having slept for a while in the afternoon, Xu Damao was not very sleepy at this time and felt a little bored.

He stood up, took out a roast chicken and a bag of peanuts from his personal space. Seeing that there were already a pile of eggs inside, he took out a dozen eggs at random, held them in his hands, and walked slowly towards the front yard.

"Teacher Yan, let's go home and drink less!"

Xu Damao waved the thing in his hand towards Yan Bugui, who was enjoying the cool air at the gate of the courtyard.

"Hey, if you want to drink, just drink. What else do you want to take? Come, come home with me."

When Yan Bugui saw what Xu Damao was holding, his face lit up with joy.

"Da Mao, sit down!"

"Go and ask Jie Cheng and the others to leave. Don't disturb me and Damao from talking about something!"

Yan Bugui acted like the head of the family at home.

"Oh, okay. I'll be right there."

"Don't leave yet, Auntie. Do you have any garlic at home?"

"Ah, yes, yes."

"I have some eggs here. Auntie, please help boil them. Then cut a few eggs and pour some garlic sauce on them. The remaining eggs can be shared among my younger brothers and sisters."

"You heard it, right? Why don't you go quickly, Damao? I thank you on behalf of Jie Cheng and the others."

"Hey, Third Uncle, given our relationship, there's no need to say thank you or not."

Xu Damao said polite words, reached out to open the lotus leaf wrapped around the roast chicken, spread the lotus leaf on the table, and then quickly tore the whole roast chicken apart and placed it casually on the lotus leaf.

The fragrance slowly spread, and Yan Bugui took a deep breath.

"Teacher Yan, I bought this roast chicken from a century-old store. Look at the color and smell the fragrance. Is it worth opening a bottle of good wine?"

"No problem! Damao, what would you like to drink?"

"Just Jiannanchun, but I can't drink much, just one cup will do."

"That's great. I happen to have half a bottle of Jiannanchun left. I'll go get it."

Yan Bugui said as he walked into the inner room and came out holding a bottle of Jiannanchun.

The two of them ate and chatted, but since Xu Damao and Yan Bugui had already eaten dinner, they did not pick up their chopsticks.

"Teacher Yan, I'm selling the rhino horn cup you gave me last time."
