However, at this moment, Lin Mu also received a system notification.
" Mission: Xu Li's grief and indignation has been completed. She no longer feels sad, at least for now. The reward has been issued.”
The mission that Xu Li triggered was random, so it was another lucky draw. However, according to Lin Mu's understanding of the system, it should be a skill related to Xu Li. It might be psychology.
But that can wait!
Now that the mission was completed, if they continued chatting like this, something might happen.
Lin Mu wasn't a pedantic man, but he still had his own standards. At the very least…he would always think of Gao Yaowen when he faced Xu Li.
Even if Gao Yawen did not make any promises, this had nothing to do with anyone else. It was just a little restraint on himself.
Lin Mu looked at Xu Li and smiled." It's getting late. I should return to the restaurant. I haven't prepared the dishes for dinner yet. Lu Yuan isn't here, and it's not appropriate for me, the sous-chef, to be absent.”
After saying that, he finished the wine in his glass in one gulp. Then, he stood up and nodded slightly.
"Thank you for the wine, but don't drink too much. Have a good rest!”
Xu Li tilted her body slightly and looked at the forest with a playful expression. She hesitated for a moment and nodded.”
Lin Mu turned around and was about to leave. However, after taking two steps, Xu Li asked," Will you still come to drink?”
Lin Mu turned to look at her and thought for a moment." I…I guess! I'll call you when I have time and treat you to a meal!”
"Alright." Xu Li smiled and nodded.
Lin Mu smiled as well, then opened the door and left. He turned around and nodded again, intending to close the door.
Xu Li suddenly spoke again.
"Lin Mu!"
Lin Mu paused in doubt." Hmm?”
"When is another day?" she asked.
Lin Mu smiled." I've been a little busy these few days. I'll give you a call when I'm done!”
"You didn't even save my number!" Xu Li hit the nail on the head and pointed out the loophole in Lin Mu's words.
Lin Mu looked around and saw the phone on the door. Then, he took out his phone and dialed the number.
"Another day, another day!"
Xu Li smiled and nodded.
"Clack!"
After closing the door, Lin Mu heaved a sigh of relief. He wasn't nervous.
It was just that he had never liked being passive. Be it Jiang Lai or Lu Qing, they were both very proactive girls who were willful and flamboyant. As for this Xu Li, just as Lu Yuan had said, she looked calm and steady. She was also a very strong person.
On the contrary, Gao Yaowen, who had always appeared strong, was now very weak when she was with Lin Mu. She was very obedient and rarely refuted Lin Mu's words.
……
It wasn't far from Xujiahui to the restaurant. He wasn't in a hurry to go back, so he didn't take a taxi. He walked back and drank some wine.
By the time he walked to the restaurant, it was almost time to serve the guests at night. He washed his face and changed his clothes, then prepared to start eating.
Just as he thought, Lu Yuan, this incompetent head chef, couldn't be found again. The manager panicked, but when he saw Lin Mu, he immediately calmed down.
……
On this side, not long after Lin Mu left, Lu Yuan and the others had also dispersed. It was just that Lu Yuan was unhappy, so he didn't return.
Gan Jing was also worried that Xu Li was unhappy, so he specially came to look for her, intending to apologize or something.
However, the moment she knocked on the door, she saw Xu Li, who was slightly tipsy.
"Ah, why did you drink so much?" Gan Jing hurriedly helped her into the house.
When they sat down in the room, Gan Jing said," I'm sorry. I made a mistake today.”
"I apologize to you on behalf of Lu Yuan.”
Xu Li smiled and waved her hand." It's fine, it's fine!”
Gan Jing was confused. What did he mean? Wasn't he still furious when he left just now?
Xu Li couldn't help but burp." Hey, which restaurant are Lu Yuan and the others working at?”
"What's wrong, Gray Whale? " You still intend to find trouble with Lu Yuan? For my sake…" Gan Jing hurriedly pulled Xu Li and continued to put in good words for her.
Xu Li didn't mind and waved her hand." I'm really not angry. I just met an expert!”
"Playing dumb, thinking in reverse, playing hard to get…psychology is really good!”
"Hmph, I don't believe that I don't understand!”
At this moment, Gan Jing understood that Xu Li and Lu Yuan, that sous-chef, had fallen for each other.
" Ha..." Gan Jing couldn't help but laugh. He didn't expect Lu Yuan's words to come true. They really became a couple.
When she came back to her senses, she realized that Xu Li had already fallen asleep. She got up and covered her with a blanket. Then, she got up and left. Before she left, she locked the door for her.
……
Because Lu Yuan wasn't around, Lin Mu had to do more to ensure that every dish in the kitchen was fine. Hence, there wasn't much to do.
He started working from six to seven o'clock and worked until ten o'clock to get through the peak period.
Lin Mu quietly went out to take a look. There was no one in front, so he came back to inform the short fatty. He also went to change his clothes and prepared to go home.
He had to rest early today. He was going to Jiang Haokun's house tomorrow to prepare the so-called family banquet for Jiang Haokun. He had promised to come, and there was a mission binding him. He couldn't be careless.
After leaving the restaurant, Lin Mu felt as if he had stepped on something. He lowered his head and saw a stack of coins wrapped together with transparent tape. They were all in one piece, which should be ten yuan.
Only then did Lin Mu remember that he still had a buff on his forehead. He casually tossed the stack of coins in his hand and continued to walk back.
However, when he reached his house, he passed by the lottery shop where he bought the lottery ticket in the morning. He picked five more bets and stuffed them into his wallet.
Anyway, the money he picked up was good luck. It didn't matter if he won or not!
After returning home, he turned on the water heater and prepared to take a shower. Then, he received his reward for the day and prepared for the Jiang family banquet tomorrow.
