Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

"Hey, if you smile, does that mean you're not mad at me anymore?"

He Yuzhu laughed happily and scratched the back of his head in a naive manner.

Ran Qiuye stopped smiling and glared at He Yuzhu, "You scabby dog, give me the tulips. I forgive you!"

He Yuzhu handed the flowers to Ran Qiuye with excitement, "Teacher Ran, I want to treat you to a meal..."

Ran Qiuye interrupted, "I've already received your apology, so there's no need to eat!"

He Yuzhu said with a shameless face: "Yes, yes, I scolded you so harshly this morning, how can a bouquet of flowers express my apology? I must treat you to a meal!"

Ran Qiuye's eyebrows were furious, and her eyes were wide open. "If I say no, then no, and you are not allowed to follow me anymore!"

After Ran Qiuye finished speaking, he ignored He Yuzhu and rode away on his bike. He Yuzhu still followed him slowly from behind.

After passing two more intersections, Ran Qiuye stopped his bike and glared at He Yuzhu: "If you follow me again, I will call the police!"

"I'm not afraid of being called to the police. I just want to treat you to a meal to apologize. It's not illegal, and the police can't arrest me!" He Yuzhu said stubbornly.

Ran Qiuye said helplessly: "I've already said I forgive you, and I'll be home soon!"

He Yuzhu grinned and said, "That's great, I'll also apologize to my uncle and aunt..."

Ran Qiuye said angrily, "Why do you have to treat me to a meal, you scabby dog?"

He Yuzhu said seriously, "I, He Yuzhu, have never done anything wrong in my life, but today I scolded you for no reason. I feel guilty. If I don't treat you to a meal to apologize, I won't be able to sleep tonight!"

Ran Qiuye was getting a little impatient with He Yuzhu's pestering, so she decided to take revenge on him by going to a big restaurant to eat and giving him a big meal.

"Aren't you going to treat me to a meal? Is it okay for me to choose the restaurant?"

He Yuzhu smiled happily, "Of course no problem!"

Ran Qiuye's eyes were cunning, "Then follow me!"

A moment later, Ran Qiuye got out of the car at the entrance of Emei Restaurant and said with a wink, "Master He, is it okay for you to treat me to a meal here?"

Ran Qiuye thought He Yuzhu would look distressed, but he said very straightforwardly: "No problem!"

He Yuzhu's straightforwardness made Ran Qiuye feel a little embarrassed, and he reminded him in a low voice: "Master He, the consumption here is not cheap!"

"Don't worry, I can still afford to treat you to a meal. Your boss won't deduct your salary and make you wash dishes to pay for the meal!" He Yuzhu joked.

"Good intentions are treated as a donkey's liver and lungs!"

After Ran Qiuye finished speaking, he walked into the restaurant angrily.

Emei Restaurant was founded in 1950 and is the most famous Sichuan cuisine restaurant in Beijing. It is dinner time now, so the restaurant is bustling with people.

The two of them arrived at the right time, as there was only one private room left.

At this time, a waiter in cheongsam came over and smiled sweetly, "What would you like to eat, my two guests?"

"Ladies first, Teacher Ran, you order first!" He Yuzhu smiled gently.

Ran Qiuye didn't hesitate and picked up the menu. He hesitated for a long time and finally ordered a dish of shredded pork with fish flavor.

Ran Qiuye originally wanted to charge He Yuzhu a heavy price, but as she was kind-hearted, she couldn't bear to do so, so she finally ordered a dish of shredded pork with fish flavor that was not too expensive.

"I've ordered, you order!"

Ran Qiuye said this and handed the menu to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu took the menu and said generously: "One dish is not enough, let's have some Kung Pao Chicken and boiled pork..."

Ran Qiuye hurriedly stopped him, “That’s enough…that’s enough, if you eat any more you won’t be able to finish it!”

He Yuzhu said in a slightly flattering tone: "Just listen to Teacher Ran and don't waste money. Teacher Ran, would you like some wine?"

Ran Qiuye waved her hands hastily, "I don't drink, and you're not allowed to drink either. You still have to ride your bike back!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Listen to Teacher Ran, don't ride a bike when you drink, and don't drink when you ride a bike!"

"Just these three dishes, plus two bowls of rice, and try to be quick!"

"Don't worry, sir. We will serve you the food as soon as possible!"

The waiter didn't lie. In less than fifteen minutes, all three dishes were served.

Ran Qiuye looked at the three delicious dishes on the table and started drooling.

He Yuzhu raised the corner of his mouth slightly. No matter how gentle and reserved a woman is, she cannot remain calm when seeing delicious food. So the fastest way to conquer a woman, besides the vagina, is the esophagus.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Teacher Ran, you're welcome. Come eat!"

Ran Qiuye knew that He Yuzhu had seen her greedy look, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face. She whispered, "You want to eat too?"

He Yuzhu didn't know what being reserved meant, so he picked up the chopsticks and started tasting.

This is probably a common problem among chefs. He Yuzhu tasted all three dishes and said to himself:

"The boiled meat was a little overcooked because the fire was too much. The fish-flavored pork shreds were not sour enough and were a little too sweet. The Kung Pao Chicken was just ok!"

He Yuzhu's words were heard by a waiter passing by. He frowned slightly and turned into the kitchen.

Ran Qiuye wrinkled her nose when she heard this. This was one of the most delicious dishes she had ever eaten, and the other party actually said that the chef did not prepare it well. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that He Yuzhu was talking nonsense.

Although Ran Qiuye's family conditions were decent, they could not afford to eat at high-end restaurants like Emei Restaurant every day. Only his uncle and aunt could come to Emei Restaurant for one or two meals every year on their birthdays.

She was full of praise for the food at Emei Restaurant. When she heard He Yuzhu's disparaging remarks, she said in dissatisfaction, "You make it sound like you cook better than them!"

He Yuzhu said confidently: "My cooking skills are really not worse than the chef who made this dish. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is He Yuzhu. I come from a family of chefs. I am currently a third-level cook and deputy director of the steel mill canteen."

Ran Qiuye pursed his lips, "You talk about how great you are, why haven't you found a wife yet?"

When He Yuzhu heard this, his eyes dimmed instantly, and there seemed to be an unshakable sorrow between his brows, which made Ran Qiuye feel distressed.

Ran Qiuye is a very kind girl. In her previous life, Jia Zhang was a rogue and was unwilling to pay Banggeng's tuition. Banggeng was about to be expelled from school, so Ran Qiuye paid for his tuition.

Later, Ran Qiuye went to Banggeng's house many times to ask for tuition fees but to no avail. If it weren't for this big loser who paid the money, Ran Qiuye would probably never be able to get the tuition fees back in her lifetime.

Ran Qiuye said with a face full of shame: "Master He, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing!"

He Yuzhu restrained his expression and forced a smile, "It's none of your business, I just remembered my miserable childhood..."

Ran Qiuye asked cautiously: "Can you tell me about it?"

He Yuzhu was delighted, he was waiting for you to say this.

"I have kept these things in my heart for too long. Since Ran Qiuye is willing to listen, I will speak out!"

He Yuzhu looked sad and started to play the victim.
