Chapter 634

Lu Xiaoya said with a red face, "This is to thank you for helping me vent my anger."

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "I'll have to go a year without washing my face."

Lu Xiaoya spat, "Then wouldn't your face be as thick as a city wall?"

Su Xinghui laughed heartily. Lu Xiaoya rolled her eyes at him, but that glance was more of a flirtatious charm, which made Su Xinghui stare at her without blinking.

The two walked by the lake for a while, and it was almost noon. Su Xinghui said, "Let's go, Xiaoya, let's go to the main street, I'll treat you to dinner, so your mother doesn't have to go to the trouble of cooking when you go back."

Lu Xiaoya nodded and said, "Okay."

The two crossed a tree-lined avenue and walked onto a main street. There were several high-end restaurants on this street. Since Su Xinghui wanted to treat Lu Xiaoya to dinner, he naturally had to find a more high-end restaurant.

Lu Xiaoya said, "Why don't we walk a bit further? The restaurants on this street are too expensive."

Su Xinghui said, "Let's just eat on this street. It's still the New Year, so those small restaurants might not be open. It's okay, I have money."

Lu Xiaoya asked, "Your salary isn't high, where did you get the money?"

Su Xinghui said, "The money from selling my paintings. There's a Frenchman who runs an art gallery. He likes my paintings very much and bought quite a few. I have money now."

Lu Xiaoya heard this and didn't ask how much he sold them for, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then let's eat here."

Su Xinghui said, "Then you choose a restaurant."

Lu Xiaoya was looking at the restaurants on both sides of the road when a little girl ran over, holding a bouquet of roses and said to Su Xinghui, "Uncle, buy a flower for the auntie. Today is Valentine's Day."

Today is Valentine's Day? Su Xinghui raised his wrist to look at the watch on his wrist. Sure enough, the date on the watch was February 14th, exactly Western Valentine's Day.

In his previous life, Su Xinghui didn't have a good relationship with his wife Sun Xuelan, and they hadn't celebrated Valentine's Day for several years. After his rebirth, Valentine's Day wasn't very popular in China in this era, and he had almost forgotten about this Western holiday.

It was currently the New Year period, and Su Xinghui hadn't paid attention to what the solar calendar date was. He only knew today was the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Last year, he came to pay New Year's greetings to Lu Zhenghong on this day, so he chose this day again this year. He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that today was actually Valentine's Day.

Could this be God's will?

Thinking this, Su Xinghui took out his wallet and asked, "How much is a rose?"

Seeing Su Xinghui take out his wallet, the little girl said excitedly, "Five yuan each."

Su Xinghui took a fifty-yuan bill from his wallet and handed it to the little girl, saying, "Then give me nine. Help me wrap them up; I want to give them to this auntie."

The little girl was so excited her face turned red. This was a big deal. She counted nine of the freshest roses, quickly wrapped them in a piece of blue wrapping paper, wrapped them beautifully, tied them with a ribbon, and handed them to Su Xinghui.

The little girl wanted to give Su Xinghui change, but Su Xinghui said, "Forget it, no need for change."

The little girl cheered, said "Thank you, Uncle!" and ran away quickly to find her next target customer.

Su Xinghui turned around and solemnly handed the flowers to Lu Xiaoya, saying, "Xiaoya, this is for you. Happy Valentine's Day!"

Lu Xiaoya didn't have much of a concept of Valentine's Day either, but after hearing what the little girl said, she remembered that today was Western Valentine's Day. Seeing Su Xinghui buy flowers, Lu Xiaoya felt her brain go blank. He wanted to buy her flowers? What did this mean?

Su Xinghui handed the flowers over, and Lu Xiaoya took them in a daze. After taking them, she realized the significance of this bouquet. Her face instantly turned red, and her heart was pounding like a deer. She lowered her head and said, "Thank you!"

Su Xinghui smiled freely and naturally took Lu Xiaoya's left hand. Lu Xiaoya held the bouquet in her right hand, took a deep breath of the floral fragrance, and felt her heart was about to get drunk.

Lu Xiaoya secretly turned her head to look at Su Xinghui, and just happened to see Su Xinghui looking at her too. The two smiled at each other, and their two young hearts were stuck together at this moment.

Su Xinghui started walking forward, and Lu Xiaoya followed him step by step. Su Xinghui asked, "Xiaoya, have you chosen a restaurant?"

Lu Xiaoya said hesitantly, "Why don't you decide?"

Su Xinghui looked up and saw a Western restaurant across the street named "Fontainebleau Western Restaurant." He pointed to the Western restaurant and asked, "How about Western food? Today we're celebrating Western Valentine's Day, so let's eat Western food."

Lu Xiaoya nodded and said, "Okay, today I'll listen to you."

Su Xinghui pulled Lu Xiaoya across the road. Fortunately, this was the 1990s, and there weren't many cars on the street, and not many people either. After all, it was the New Year, and it was mealtime, so people were more willing to stay at home. If it were twenty years later, at this time and place, it would probably be packed to the brim.

Entering the restaurant, a waiter came up to greet them and led them to a seat by the street. This seat was for two, and from the floor-to-ceiling window, they could see the street scene.

The two sat down, and the waiter handed them the menu to order.

Lu Xiaoya hadn't eaten Western food before, so she let Su Xinghui order for her. Su Xinghui looked at the menu. This was a French Western restaurant. He thought for a while and ordered two fruit salads, two creamy mushroom soups, two medium-rare filet steaks, two truffle-baked foie gras, two French-style braised potatoes, and two macarons for dessert.
