Chapter 59: Lu Xiaoyu

  Guo Yu smiled slightly on his face, slowly pushed open the large door of the room, walked into the last row of seats in the hall, looking at several men and women on the stage, wearing patient clothes and doctor clothes, with thick makeup on their faces, under the illumination of the lights, looked very joyful.

  Guo Yu found this scene somewhat comical, possibly due to his poor artistic upbringing or perhaps he simply lacked an artistic cell; in any case, watching the crowd on stage with their slightly exaggerated performances always made him view it as a comedy.

  Huang Wenjing stood at one corner of the stage, apparently not participating in the performance. When Guo Yu came in, Huang Wenjing noticed and after Guo Yu sat down, she secretly greeted him, meaning to ask him to wait a moment. Guo Yu nodded and continued watching this hilarious comedy.

  Time passed for about a quarter of an hour, and finally came the last scene. The old man in white coat pushed the male lead's wheelchair away, saying "Like the tree in your painting, you must have an unyielding life."

  The performance ended here, and the rehearsal came to an end. The crowd on stage applauded, and Guo Yu also stood up and walked towards the stage.

  "A Yu, you're here." Huang Wenjing came down from the steps at the side and quickly walked to Guo Yu's side, extending her own jade hand. Guo Yu hastily reached out to hold it, then gave Huang Wenjing a hug.

  "Who is this, Wen Jing? Why didn't you introduce me?" a beautiful female voice said.

  "A Yu, this is my university classmate Lu Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu, this is my friend Guo Yu." Huang Wenjing hastily pulled out of Guo Yu's arms and made the introductions.

  "Xiao Jing, you're not being honest, are you? You've got a boyfriend now, and you're all lovey-dovey." Lu Xiao Yu teased her best friend before turning to Guo Yu and saying: "Hi, I've only heard Xiao Jing mention you before. This is our first meeting, and hmm, my impression of you isn't bad. I'll give you a passing grade."

  "That's really all I can ask for, my greatest pursuit in exams is just passing." The three of them laughed after that.

  The entertainment company's staff were calling out to disperse and go home, after Guo Yu and the others finished cleaning up. They walked together towards the outside, Guo Yu walked to his car, opened the passenger door for Huang Wenjing, letting her get in, while Lu Xiaoyu got into a silver Ferrari next to them.

  It seems that Lu Xiaoyu's family background is also not ordinary, and they can afford to drive a Ferrari. At least it's above the standard of a wealthy family. Lu Xiaoyu rolled down the window and said to Guo Yu and others: "We're going to Kowloon Yau Ma Tei Temple Street, we haven't had dinner yet, I'm starving, follow me."

  After a foot on the accelerator, the silver Ferrari flew out. Guo Yu carefully fastened Huang Wenjing's seatbelt before driving to catch up. Lu Xiaoyu's car was going very fast, but Guo Yu's car followed closely and drove very smoothly, making Huang Wenjing feel not at all like they were speeding.

  All the way, Guo Yu and Huang Wenjing were chatting and laughing. When the car stopped by the side of the road, Lu Xiaoyu got out of the car and walked to Guo Yu's car, saying, "Not bad, your driving skills are pretty good, you can actually keep up with my car, looks like you're a master."

  Huang Wenjing naturally knew that her best friend liked racing and was quite skilled at it, but she really hadn't felt the speed just now. She said to Lu Xiaoyu, "We're not driving fast, I feel like we've only been talking for a bit with Ah Yu and we're already at Miaojie Street. You're driving much more smoothly than usual."

  Huang Wenjing's words made Lu Xiaoyu stunned, then carefully sized up Guo Yu, and only after seriously scanning Guo Yu's face did she confirm that she didn't know Guo Yu and hadn't heard of this person in the racing circle.

  Huang Wenjing said that Guo Yu drove steadily just now, she didn't feel fast, but Lu Xiaoyu knew the speed of her own driving. Guo Yu followed closely without slowing down and arrived at Miaojie Street together with her. However, Lu felt like she was speeding, while Guo Yu could drive in a way that made others not feel the speed. This skill is not simple.

  Three people walked into the temple street, sat down at a large stall, and Lu Xiaoyu didn't hesitate to order, "Boss, we want sandan shrimp, steamed fish intestines with eggs, ghost horse inkfish, boiled vegetables, hanging furnace roasted goose, curry mutton, and bring us a case of beer quickly, or else we'll all starve to death."

  The fat boss smiled and said in Cantonese, "I love people who are hungry the most. The bigger your appetite, the better. If you have the ability, eat all my eighteen signature dishes." After finishing speaking, he patted his round belly.

  "What does 'boss' mean?" Huang Wenjing asked Lu Xiaoyu in a low voice.

  Lu Xiaoyu said: "Fat boss used to be a hoodlum on Temple Street, but later he got older and stopped being a hoodlum. He opened his own big stall, but often had rival little hoodlums coming to cause trouble. They provoked Fat Boss so much that one time he chased them with a knife. Later, the big brothers from both sides came out to mediate, and the other side's big brother said, 'Brothers, we have no money for food, but Fat Boss always gives us something to eat.' The boss said, 'I have 18 signature dishes, if someone can finish all 18 dishes at once, I won't charge a penny.' After that, there were no more hoodlums coming here to eat for free."

  "It's quite interesting, it seems like everyone has a story." Guo Yu sighed.

  "What's Mr. Guo's story?" Lu Xiaoyu asked immediately after, her eyes still staring straight at Guo Yu.

  "What story can I have? The dishes are here, aren't you guys hungry? Hurry up and eat." As he spoke, he didn't even look at Lu Xiaoyu, and opened a can of beer for himself to drink.

  It's said that Lu Xiaoyu is really beautiful, she belongs to the kind of girl with a strong sense of three-dimensionality, tall and leggy, with a slender figure, her face has some heroic spirit, but not at all masculine, instead giving people a more refined feeling, just like Lin Qingxia with a man's jawline. Her eyes are not big, but her eyebrows are slightly thick and stylish, her skin is fair and tight, the most important thing is her dressing style, absolutely revealing, it's really unknown how such a modern woman can get along with Huang Wenjing, who has a Republic of China style, as best friends, it's really "when things reach an extreme they turn into their opposites", opposite sexes attract each other.

  As he thought of this, Guo Yu suddenly realized that Lu Xiaoyu might be the one who had been secretly admiring Jing. He looked at Lu Xiaoyu and found her gazing at him with narrowed eyes, as if studying him.

  "Xiao Jing, try this curry lamb, it's really delicious, the meat is tender and smooth, fragrant but not greasy, the curry has a slightly spicy flavor, you like eating things with a little spice, don't you? This one is good." Guo Yu served a piece of lamb onto Huang Wenjing's plate.

  Just then, Lu Xiaoyu whispered, "Coward." Guo Yu didn't know what she meant and ignored her. It had been a while since he'd seen his girlfriend, so Guo Yu wanted to hurry up and finish dinner, then take Jingjing to open a room and have some fun. He didn't want to think about other things, but trouble came looking for him anyway. As they were halfway through their meal, two young men walked over to their table and said to Huang Wenjing, "Are you Teacher Huang? Do you remember when I sent flowers to you that day? What a coincidence running into you here today! Can we invite you to our table for a drink?"

  Upon hearing this, Guo Yu's face immediately fell. A group of hoodlums, still thinking of taking advantage of his girlfriend.
