"Can I hug you for a long time?"
Li Chenxu looked like he couldn't understand what Mu Xiaoyu was saying, and his expression was as irritating as could be.
Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but roll her eyes, too lazy to struggle anymore. Li Chenxu was strong, and as long as he didn't want to let go of her, no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't escape his embrace.
Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu had stopped struggling, Li Chenxu held her for a while before letting her go.
"I'll take you to eat first. The food at the hotel isn't anything special, and you'll get tired of it after a few times. This time, I'll take you to eat something different."
After releasing Mu Xiaoyu, he affectionately kissed the corner of her mouth and said gently with a smile.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't push him away, and muttered, "We're all in City A, and we've eaten quite a lot together before. What other special and delicious food is there here?"
"You'll know when it arrives."
Li Chenxu deliberately kept everyone in suspense, giving Mu Xiaoyu a meaningful smile as he spoke, which immediately gave Mu Xiaoyu a bad feeling.
Not knowing what Li Chenxu was going to take her to eat, Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu arrived at their destination quite late. Moreover, the area around the destination was deserted and looked rather desolate. Mu Xiaoyu really couldn't imagine what good food could be found in such a place.
She couldn't help but look at Li Chenxu beside her with a hint of suspicion and asked him, "What are you going to take me to eat? There are hardly any people here, how could there be a place to eat?"
"We're not there yet; we still have a long way to go."
As Li Chenxu spoke, he took Mu Xiaoyu's hand and led her toward a side path.
They had already entered the woods, assuming the situation inside would be the same as outside, but to their surprise, the scenery changed completely once they went in.
As they ventured deeper into the woods, the view opened up dramatically. Before them lay a small lake, and across the lake stood a traditional wooden building. From Mu Xiaoyu's direction, they could even see wisps of white smoke rising from the building's chimney.
Such a scene wasn't unusual for Mu Xiaoyu when she was a child, but with modernization, it's not easy to see it now. It's not that it doesn't exist, but deliberately imitating the past doesn't evoke that feeling of being there.
The place that Li Chenxu brought Mu Xiaoyu to at this moment gave Mu Xiaoyu a completely different feeling than before.
"How did you find this place?"
Mu Xiaoyu was pleasantly surprised and turned to look at Li Chenxu beside her, asking, "This place is so remote. Even if she lived around here for a year or two, she might not have discovered it. It's such a pleasant surprise!"
Li Chenxu saw the surprise in Mu Xiaoyu's eyes, and with a slightly arrogant snort, he said, "Don't you know who I am? I discovered this place a long time ago. Before we were together, whenever I had free time, I would often look for fun and delicious places. This farmhouse has been around for many years, but not many people know about it. Most of the customers are regulars. And don't just look at the outside; the food inside is absolutely amazing."
Mu Xiaoyu was somewhat skeptical of Li Chenxu's words, after all, she had eaten quite a lot. She had never truly experienced the meaning of "unparalleled."
However, considering that Li Chenxu is a picky eater like himself, since he has said so, the food here must have its merits.
So Mu Xiaoyu finally nodded and said, "Okay, let's go take a look first."
Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu wasn't as interested as he had expected, Li Chenxu wasn't discouraged. He raised an eyebrow, then took Mu Xiaoyu's hand and led her around the lake towards the house.
It was past lunchtime, and there were hardly any other houses to be seen around, so Mu Xiaoyu felt very lonely until she reached the front door of the house.
This agritainment business seemed to lack any modern facilities, not even a doorbell. They had to knock on the doorknob when they arrived at the door. Li Chenxu knocked several times before the owner of the agritainment business finally opened the door.
"Mr. Li? What brings you here at this hour?"
Li Chenxu was clearly an acquaintance of this farmhouse inn; the owner already remembered him and was quite surprised to see him suddenly appear with Mu Xiaoyu.
"I've been too busy lately and haven't had a chance to come over. Plus, it's expensive, so I haven't been able to bring my wife to visit. I just happened to have some time today, so I came over. What, do you still have ingredients to cook? My wife and I haven't eaten yet."
Unlike outside, Li Chenxu appeared very relaxed here, speaking to the boss in a relaxed and casual tone.
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper subconsciously glanced at Mu Xiaoyu beside Li Chenxu, and a motherly smile immediately appeared on his face: "Yes, of course. It's just that you came suddenly, and we weren't prepared, so it may be a bit simpler than before. Please don't mind."
"What are you talking about? Do you think I'm that kind of person? But you'd better show me your best skills today, because my wife has a very discerning palate."
As Li Chenxu spoke, he gave Mu Xiaoyu a meaningful smile. If it weren't for the presence of the farmhouse owner, she would have rolled her eyes at Li Chenxu.
Even if she's a picky eater, she shouldn't have said that in front of the boss; it would have been so embarrassing!
The owner seemed unconcerned, and upon hearing this, he immediately laughed heartily. He then gave Mu Xiaoyu a friendly smile and said, "Mrs. Li, don't worry, my skills will definitely satisfy you. Let's go inside first. Let my wife brew some of our tea for you, Mr. and Mrs. Li. It's definitely different from the tea you usually drink."
Mu Xiaoyu didn't take the boss's words to heart at all. It wasn't that she looked down on him, but rather that she had eaten and drunk too many delicious foods and drinks, which had made her very picky about food.
She wouldn't have been moved at all if the food wasn't truly exceptional.
However, since it was Li Chenxu who brought her here, and the boss's attitude was so good, Mu Xiaoyu thought that even if the food wasn't to her liking, she wouldn't show it directly.
Inside, the farmhouse was simply furnished but very clean, with bamboo planted inside, and you could smell a strong bamboo fragrance as soon as you entered.
