Chapter 36
He watched as Kaoru Hanayama handed over the bottle of wine.
Mo Wen didn't refuse. He took it and drank the wine in the bottle.
After the spicy wine flowed into his throat, it turned into a warm current and entered Mo Wen's body.
From the mellow taste of the wine, this should be an Irish-style whiskey. The alcohol content was higher than other whiskies, and it seemed to be Kaoru Hanayama's favorite wine.
After drinking it, Mo Wen thought to himself.
"What do you want to eat?"
Kaoru suddenly asked.
Mo Wen looked at the restaurant's signboard and said," Give me a curry rice. I want it spicy."”
The old man, who was both the boss and the cook, nodded and lowered his head to prepare Mo Wen's curry rice.
In the empty restaurant, there was only the sound of pots and pans as the boss prepared the dishes. Mo Wen and Hanayama Kaoru did not speak and just sat there quietly.
Time passed by.
Clang, clang.
Da da.
The sound of the restaurant owner cutting vegetables and cooking sounded rhythmic, and it didn't seem noisy in this quiet room.
Instead, it eased the stiff atmosphere between the two men.
At this time, Mo Wen took two bottles of wine from the dining table. He didn't use a corkscrew, but used his thumb and index finger to pinch the mouth of the bottle and opened it in the same way as Kaoru Hanayama.
Pa.
He placed the broken bottle on the table and handed the wine to Kaoru Hanayama.
Suddenly, the sound of the boss chopping vegetables disappeared.
The restaurant owner looked at Mo Wen in surprise. He did not expect that other than Kaoru Hanayama, there was actually someone else who could break the bottle without a change in expression.
Hanayama Kaoru looked down at the wine that Mo Wen handed over. She didn't say anything and silently took the bottle.
Just as he was about to raise his head and drink it, he was stopped by Mo Wen.
Pa.
Mo Wen used the same method to open a bottle of wine in front of him. Then, he raised the bottle and smiled."It's more interesting to drink like this."
Hanayama Kaoru was stunned for a moment. Then, a smile appeared on her scarred face and she gently clinked the wine in Mo Wen's hand.
Yes.
A crisp sound rang out, and a trace of swaying wine slipped through the gaps between their fingers.
The two of them raised their heads and drank the wine at the same time.
The spicy wine did not affect the two of them at all. Their expressions did not change at all.
However, perhaps it was the influence of alcohol or some other reason, the atmosphere between the two was no longer stiff and awkward, but more relaxed.
Mo Wen and Hanayama Kaoru looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
Then, they each took out a bottle of wine and opened it at the same time. Then, they touched each other and drank it.
Gulp, gulp.
Then, they continued to take the wine, open the bottle, and drink after the collision.
In the blink of an eye, a few bottles of wine had been downed. The cold atmosphere was no longer there. Instead, it became lively.
"Hey, I beat you up. Aren't you angry?”
Mo Wen looked at Kaoru Hanayama and said with a smile.
He had asked Kimizaki this question before, but now he was asking it again.
When the boss, who was cooking, heard this, his hands paused again and then continued to prepare. However, his slightly pricked up ears indicated that he was also paying attention.
Kaoru did not mind being heard by the boss. After a moment of silence, she whispered,"I was quite angry when I was defeated by you.”
Clang.
The owner's hands trembled.
Feeling Mo Wen's gaze on him, the boss smiled awkwardly." Sorry, my hand slipped."”
"It's okay. Don't worry, boss." Mo Wen also smiled. This sunny smile made the boss slightly stunned.
If he hadn't heard it from Kaoru Hanayama himself, the boss would never have believed that this boy with a bright smile and a boy-next-door attitude had defeated Kaoru Hanayama.
Then, the boss lowered his head and continued to prepare the curry rice.
After all, it was very rude to make a guest wait for a long time.
Kaoru didn't mind the restaurant owner's loss of composure. He had known the owner for many years, so he didn't mind the restaurant owner hearing about his privacy.
In fact, the restaurant owner's reaction was normal. After all, Kaoru Hanayama was an expert in fighting. She had never lost a fight since she took over the Hanayama Group.
Hearing him admit that he had been defeated, and that his opponent was such a young man, it was natural for them to be surprised.
"If that's the case, why are you still treating me to a meal?" Mo Wen continued.”
"I just lost in a fight. It's fine as long as I win it back.”Kaoru said calmly.
Mo Wen revealed a knowing smile on his face, but he did not say anything. Instead, he continued to drink with Kaoru Hanayama.
"Customer, sorry to keep you waiting. This is your curry rice.”At this moment, the restaurant owner gently placed the plate of rice on the dining table.
Mo Wen placed the plate in front of him and looked at the delicately arranged and fragrant curry rice. He picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful into his mouth.
In an instant, the rich fragrance and spiciness of curry filled his mouth. The crispy and tender chicken was stained with sauce, and the taste was delicious and tempting.
Paired with the soft and sticky rice, it made people's appetite increase. Even according to Mo Wen's standards, this simple curry rice was at least 8 points.
After Mo Wen took a bite, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
He gave the boss a thumbs up and said,"Delicious."”
The boss laughed when he heard that.
"Thank you for your evaluation."
Mo Wen took two more bites and then looked at Kaoru Hanayama.""No wonder you like to eat here.”
Hanayama Kaoru did not reply and continued to drink. If not for Wen Xinya's good eyesight, she would not have noticed the curve on his lips.
Perhaps the restaurant he frequented was praised by others, and he felt proud of it?
The noise in the restaurant was much softer. The boss washed the dishes that Hanayama Xun had used before. Mo Wen lowered his head to eat, while Hanayama Kaoru sat at the side and waited quietly.
Within a few minutes, Mo Wen finished the entire plate of curry rice.
Mo Wen wiped his mouth, looked at the restaurant owner, and suddenly said,""Are you interested in opening a chain store in my company? I guarantee that your business will be even better than it is now. You will have chain stores all over Japan.”
With Mo Wen's standard, if it could be rated at least eight points, even if the other chain stores did not taste as good, only seven points, it would still be profitable.
Upon hearing Mo Wen's words, the boss and Kaoru Hanayama looked at him in surprise.
" You…" Just as Kaoru was about to speak, the restaurant owner said,""Thank you for your kindness, but I'm already old. It's enough for me to run this shop. Thank you again, customer.”
Although he didn't know who Mo Wen was to say such a thing, it was just as the restaurant owner had said. He was already old, and it was enough for him to run this restaurant.
"It's okay. If you ever think it through or need help, you can contact me through Huashan.”
Mo Wen patted Kaoru's shoulder and said.
"If Boss needs any help, I'm enough.”
Kaoru said coldly.
Mo Wen laughed out loud. Seeing Kaoru Hanayama like this, he stopped joking.
A moment later, Mo Wen suddenly said calmly,"
"I'm done eating. When do we start?”
Hanayama Kaoru turned her head and met Mo Wen's gaze.
In an instant, the boss felt an aura that made his heart beat wildly from the two people in front of him.
Under the influence of this aura, the restaurant owner was in a daze. He seemed to see himself in the middle of two wild beasts that were ready to fight.
The two wild beasts stared at each other, their eyes faintly releasing a wild and fierce intent.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the restaurant owner seemed to see that the air around the two of them was distorted.
The restaurant was terrifyingly quiet, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Cold sweat broke out on the restaurant owner's forehead and slid down his sideburns to his chin. His body was trembling.
The two of them noticed the restaurant owner's expression at the same time.
"Let's go out and fight."
"Let's go."
Please, everything.
