MTL - Hello, How Long Has This Been Going On?-Chapter 34
Huo Ran almost didn't hold the phone steady.
His hand trembled, Kankan grasped the smooth fuselage, and the theater manager, who was staring at him nervously, also trembled, for fear of seeing any crisp and pleasant crash scene.
Huo Ran took a deep breath, closed his eyes, opened them again, and looked at the screen impatiently, nothing changed.
It happened for real, not hallucinations.
Tao Zhiyue asked him to eat hot pot.
Tao Zhiyue asks him out to have hot pot face to face.
Tao Zhiyue took the initiative to ask him to meet.
At this moment, Huo Ran really wanted to put on some light clothes, rush to the basketball court and dunk the ball into the hoop, because this way he could jump high with confidence, and at the same time vent all his burning feelings to the strong basketball hoop.
But the conditions did not permit, the managers of several theater chains in the city were sitting around and reported to him the situation of flower distribution today, most of them belonged to the theater brands under Huo's, rounded up, these are all his subordinates staff.
Do not lose your composure in front of employees.
Although he has almost jumped up from the chair.
Huo Ran clenched his fists and pressed them against the side of his face, trying to block the corners of his mouth that could not help but rise.
Because of too much force, the whole body trembled slightly.
While he was dealing with his emotions, several middle-aged people kept exchanging glances, and the atmosphere was restless and anxious.
Finally, one of the theater managers said anxiously: "Mr. Huo, is there something wrong?"
Huo Ran reflexively said: "No."
A group of people breathed a sigh of relief and were about to relax when they heard him ask again: "Which hot pot restaurant here is the best?"
Hearing this, their eyes widened, their eyes filled with confusion.
Huo Ran felt that this question should be asked to the locals, and he began to describe it seriously: "The bottom of the red oil pot should be fragrant, not too spicy, and the bone broth must be made from bones. It is very fragrant and mellow and thick white. Vegetables and meat All must be fresh, the beef and mutton must be airlifted from the Northwest, the vegetables must be organic and pollution-free, and it is best to have the specialties here.”
As he said that, Huo Ran immediately dug out the memo on his phone and found the record written that night. According to the recommendation level marked before, he selected a few snacks that he thought Tao Zhiyue would like.
"There must be glutinous glutinous rice flour, hand rubbed with air bubbles, the taste is the best. Hmm... Jinsha red rice sausage, that is, rice rolls wrapped in shrimp meat and golden crispy, the taste is very special, plus crab roe filled with soup Long buns, as well as the popular milk tea here, with cream and chopped nuts on top, are delicious.”
It was just before dinner time, and in his detailed description, someone's stomach whined softly.
A witty theater manager swallowed his saliva, and found a way to connect flowers and hot pot.
"The most popular hotpot restaurant in our area is called Laoyue. It tastes very good and is very popular with young couples. The milk tea sold in the store is very famous, but the dishes are only hotpot. Others can be bought and delivered, or directly Ask the chef to go to the store and make it according to the taste."
He turned his head and looked at the sky, feeling a little worried: "It's already past six o'clock, and the moonlight must be full, and it may be too late to make preparations."
Huo Ran was taken aback by the phrase "very popular with young couples", and was a bit down for a while.
After a long time, he coughed a few times pretending to be calm, lowered his head, and praised calmly: "You make a lot of sense, so it will be tomorrow night."
His eyes swept across the screen of the phone, and he remembered that he hadn't replied to the message, so he quickly added it.
[HR: I just asked someone else, the best hot pot here is called Lao Yue. ]
[HR: But today is too late, there will be no seats. ]
[HR: Is six o'clock tomorrow night okay? ]
He held his breath and stared intently at the typing being displayed at the top of the chat box.
[Tao: Good ^-^]
[Tao: Little Bear Goes Around.gif]
So for the next 24 hours, Huo Ran's mood was like this little bear who was always circling in circles, almost dizzy with excitement.
After returning to the hotel, he originally wanted to go to bed early to recharge his energy, but he was too excited to fall asleep lying on the bed, very similar to the night before going on a spring outing when he was in elementary school.
He stared at the ceiling for ten minutes, and it felt like ten hours had passed.
The seconds are like years, Huo Ran can only pick up the phone that he put down not long ago.
In the evening, he and Tao Zhiyue only had a brief chat. Even though they were separated by the Internet, he still felt the other party's shyness.
Because so is he.
When I think about the upcoming meeting, I am so nervous that I don’t know what to say. The peaceful and peaceful chat atmosphere in the past has been swept away. Today, every word can affect thousands of thoughts. Less than the standard answer.
Huo Ran hugged the quilt and looked at the chat records again and again, and suddenly a dynamic reminder popped up on the pp.
[Your special concern friend "Tao" released a new space update. ]
Huo Ran immediately straightened up, leaned against the head of the bed, turned on the light, as if he was about to take a major exam, he clicked into the space after he was fully prepared.
[Dynamic] Tao: Summer is coming [Picture]
The accompanying picture is the one he had sent to Huo Ran, a transparent glass vase, flaming roses, and the setting dusk in the distance.
Huo Ran subconsciously entered the reading comprehension mode.
It's a pity that the accompanying text is too short, there are only four simple words, and no deeper meaning can be read anyway.
However, this is the first space news released by Tao Zhiyue, which has a very important commemorative significance.
However, the comment area below the feed is empty.
Huo Ran began to hate the function of pp dynamic comments that only friends can see.
Facing the blank status bar, Huo Ran was very unwilling to imagine what Tao Zhiyue's friends would comment on, and how he would respond.
The more he thought about it, the more energetic he became, he simply stayed awake, clicked a like, and then got up and turned on the computer.
After boarding the Animal Island, Huo Ran first took a boat and ran to the Hedgehog Island next door, trying to determine whether Tao Zhiyue was online.
Maybe in the game, they can chat a few days without being so shy.
The night on the small island was bright and bright, the cicadas chirping in the summer night came from the bushes, and there was a very light snoring sound from the cabin in the center.
The big brown bear looked in through the window of the hut lightly, and saw the hedgehog curled up in a ball, sleeping on a small wooden bed.
Huo Ran felt as if someone had poked his heart lightly.
He quietly left again, returned to his island, dug out the hoes and flower seeds from the warehouse, came to the place where the garden was planned to be built that day, and began to work hard.
I was busy until midnight, and finally planted all the seeds, arranged the tables, chairs and decorations that should be in the garden, and used a little money to keep watering the fertilizer that can accelerate growth.
After finishing the work, Huo Ran pressed the screenshot button with satisfaction, looking at the screen full of beautiful and delicate roses.
[Dynamic] HR: My Garden [Picture]
Huo Sihan, who surfs the Internet day and night, made a comment.
[Comment] I can't do it again, woo woo woo:?
[Comment] I can't do it again woo woo woo: You have changed, you have really changed ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!
[Comment] I can't do it again woo woo woo: I haven't been smashed for a long time by the island guardrail saying it misses you.
[Comment] HR replied that I can't do it again woo woo woo: /cute
[Comment] HR replied that I can't do it again, woo woo woo: Go to sleep, I have to help me tomorrow.
Temporarily blocking other people's space feeds, Huo Ran took a picture of himself and Tao Zhiyue's two feeds next to each other, and went to the photo album to click a red heart and put it in [Personal Collection].
Summer is here, my garden.
The air in the hotel room tonight seemed to be filled with sweetness.
After this long and difficult night, there are still eight hours left before he will see each other.
After waking up in the morning, Huo Ran took a half-hour shower and rubbed his hair three times.
Facing the mirror, he dried his hair carefully, took a piece of clothing and put it on, and asked Jiang Nansheng to reconfirm the evening reservation and the invited chef.
Then Huo Ran went straight to the clothing store and started the first exciting and tangled shopping trip in his life.
No matter what he wears, the blushing clerk will say that he is handsome and suitable. Huo Ran, who had expected this, immediately called the tool man sister.
[HR: Are you awake? Help me choose clothes. ]
Immediately afterwards, he sent a series of photos, all of which were standard straight male photos taken in front of the dressing mirror.
[I can't do it again woo woo woo: I didn't wake up, I died, woo woo woo. ]
[HR: You are not dead, you are awake, choose quickly. ]
[I can't do it again woo woo woo: Damn it, are you going on a date! ! ]
[HR: Yeah ^-^]
[HR: I'm going to eat hot pot tonight. ]
Huo Ran used an exclamation point for emphasis.
[HR: Couple restaurant! ]
[I can't do it again woo woo woo: Why do I have to bear this sour pain! ! ]
[I can't do it again woo woo woo: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ]
[I can’t do it again woo woo woo: The white top looks nice, and the pants are replaced with the one that goes with the blue top. ]
[I can't do it again, woo woo woo: Although, you are progressing too fast! ! ]
Huo Ran immediately went into the fitting room, changed into the clothes his sister had mentioned, and then came out to ask the clerk to take pictures from several angles.
[HR: Is that so? ]
[HR: Only today, I allow you to criticize and tell me where I am not handsome enough. ]
[I can't do it again, woo woo woo: ...]
[I can't do it again, woo woo woo: Would you be such a bad fart in front of the person you like? ! ]
[I can't do it again woo woo woo: Although I want to say that I'm not handsome anywhere, but today is such an important day, I won't hinder your lifelong event. ]
[I can't do it again woo woo woo: If I have to say it, I think your left cheek is prettier than your right cheek. ]
[I can't do it again Woohoo: Maybe it's because you always walk on my right, I'm used to it. ]
[I can't do it again woo woo woo: No, the left side is more beautiful, did you mean it! Scheming man! ! ]
Huo Ran pondered for a while, and found that he would habitually walk on the right side of others, so when he reserved his seat yesterday, he subconsciously reserved 13 seats on the right side.
I hope Tao Zhiyue will get used to walking on the left, Huo Ran thought without blushing.
He skipped the subject and answered his sister's last exclamation.
[HR: I don't think it's going very fast. ]
[HR: It's okay to go faster. ]
The little hedgehog curled up on the bed and sleeping soundly last night always appeared before Huo Ran's eyes, and he remembered the long breathing sound that accompanied him for a long time that night.
I wonder if Tao Zhiyue will kick the quilt when he sleeps at night.
Anyway, if he doesn't kick, he can cover Tao Zhiyue with a quilt.
Five hours later, Huo Ran, who was standing at the entrance of the Moonlight Hot Pot Restaurant early in the morning, was still full of fragmented and rambling reveries.
If neither of them had been able to have a baby, he might have started fantasizing about the baby's name.
A pair of couples holding hands walked into the hot pot restaurant. Every time Huo Ran saw the couple passing by, he felt more anticipation in his heart.
It was only half past five, he didn't want to urge Tao Zhiyue, but he couldn't help but wanted to talk to him.
Huo Ran deliberated for several minutes before finding a very tactful way to ask questions.
[HR: Today is Sunday, is the road blocked? ]
Tao Zhiyue replied quickly.
[Tao: No blocking, are you there yet? ]
[HR: Not yet, on the way. ]
[Tao: Take your time, I'm on my way too. ]
[Tao: Maomao giggles.jpg]
Huo Ran was about to reply with a cute emoji, his gaze swept across the front inadvertently, and he was stunned for a while.
A boy with a mobile phone was walking towards here in a T-shirt and jeans. At this moment, he raised his head and looked towards the bustling shop entrance.
Huo Ran remembered those eyes.
Clear and bright, and nothing but silence.
He saw Tao Zhiyue.
Tao Zhiyue obviously saw him too, and they looked at each other in astonishment at a distance of three or four meters, digesting this sudden encounter in their hearts.
During the period, passers-by continued to pass by, curiously looking at the two people who seemed to be still.
Tao Zhiyue came to his senses first, and smiled slightly at him.
"Aren't you on the way?"
The heartbeat floating in mid-air has a belonging and found a land where it can stay.
Huo Ran heard the voice that he couldn't hide his smile.
"It's here now."
The waiter greeted them and led them into the shop, Huo Ran naturally walked to Tao Zhiyue's side.
They were so close that they could hear each other's heartbeats.
Huo Ran held back for a long time, his head was in a mess, and finally asked in a low voice: "Do you like to walk on the left?"
Tao Zhiyue seemed to laugh and nodded.
The laughter and laughter in the whole hot pot restaurant rushed towards them.
As they were seated, the dishes that had been prepared were presented one by one.
The red and white mandarin duck pot bottom, the air-freighted beef and mutton with white air-conditioning, the green bean sprouts in the water, the brown sugar ice powder filled with fruits and glutinous rice cakes, the pink-skinned Jinsha red rice sausage, the skin Thinly stuffed crab roe soup filled Xiaolongbao, and two cups of milk tea topped with fluffy cream and crushed nuts.
Tao Zhiyue looked at the waiters who were taking turns serving dishes in surprise, and then secretly looked at the next table, always feeling that there was something wrong with the dishes on this table.
He blinked lightly, his eyelashes were long and thick, like a handful of light feathers, sweeping past his heart.
The turbulent emotions accumulated deep in his body, Huo Ran lost his voice for a while, and couldn't find his voice.
He also followed Tao Zhiyue's gaze, and saw the couple sitting opposite each other at the next table, the girl was holding up her chopsticks to pick up food, her loose cuffs were dangling on the red soup, and the boy on the opposite side grabbed her wrist in time.
Then they looked at each other, low laughter creeping through the white heat.
So Huo Ran plucked up his courage and decided to make a solemn self-introduction.
In this way, he can hold the opponent's hand openly.
So Huo Ran straightened his back and stretched out his hand nervously to Tao Zhiyue. The palm of his hand was soaked with sweat like diamonds. thin red.
"I forgot to introduce myself to you, hello, my name is Huo Ran."
