Chapter 120 Finally back
Chapter 120 Finally back
I slowly raised my hand and took the towel that I had prepared long ago. I gently wiped the fine beads of sweat on my forehead, and the sweat left a series of light watermarks on the towel.
I couldn't help but feel a little worried. Why was A Lu so stubborn and unwilling to listen to the president's advice, insisting on breaking into the food world that was full of unknowns and dangers?
I bit my lips tightly, and the slight tingling sensation made me feel more deeply the concern I had for A'lu in my heart.
“Ding ding ding…”
Suddenly, a crisp ringtone broke my meditation. I looked down and saw the name "Sunny" on the phone screen, which made my heart beat faster.
I pressed the answer button without hesitation, my heart full of anticipation and trepidation: "Hello, Sunny?"
Sunny's familiar and moving voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, Asong? Are you free now? If possible, how about we go out and enjoy a delicious meal together!"
I was so excited that I quickly replied with a slightly trembling voice: "Yes, which restaurant are you in now? I'll be right there!"
Sunny on the other end of the phone told me the exact location of the restaurant, and I hung up the phone anxiously, quickly took off my chef's uniform, changed into a set of neat and decent clothes, and prepared to meet Sunny.
I finally arrived at the restaurant that Sunny mentioned, and after I stopped, I took a deep breath and gently pushed open the door of the restaurant.
The moment the door opened, a mixture of food aroma and slight noise of people rushed to my face. I quickly scanned the entire restaurant, and then I saw Sunny sitting by the window, exuding charming charm.
Sunny's long colored hair was carefully styled and neatly arranged into a beautiful middle-parted hairstyle, falling on both sides of his broad shoulders. He was wearing a black tights that seemed to be tailor-made. It fit his muscular body perfectly, and every line outlined the contours of his muscles just right.
In front of the table where Sunny sat were two delicious dishes that had been ordered long ago, and waves of tempting aroma filled the air. He was holding his chin with one hand, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, waiting for my arrival.
"Asong, you're finally here!" As Sunny saw me walk into the restaurant, a bright smile broke out on his face.
I walked slowly towards Sunny and sat down at the table opposite him. The corners of my mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, I looked at Sunny and asked softly: "Sunny, you have finally completed a training task now, right?"
Sunny looked up, his sapphire eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a calm and composed look. A charming smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his voice was low and magnetic: "That's natural, but... Asong, I heard that you and Alu formed a partner, right?"
I nodded slightly, acknowledging Sunny's question.
Seeing this, Sunny smiled lightly, and there seemed to be a hint of ridicule in that smile: "Oh...how should I put it...this is also good...um...congratulations on forming a partnership! Then maybe...it would be better to know more about the movements of your partners..."
"Alu is now in the food industry!" Sunny raised his eyes slightly, with an unprecedented seriousness flashing in his eyes.
I calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip. The fragrance of the tea spread in my mouth, as if it could calm all the waves in my heart.
I put down the teacup, looked up at Sunny, and said slowly, "Since Alu and I came back from the Sky City, we have met with President Yilong. The president once seriously warned Alu that he could not go to the Gourmet World without permission before completing his training."
Sunny showed a mocking smile, and said lightly: "Yes... To be honest... With Alu's strength, it might be very dangerous! Well... Maybe his life is in danger... Although it has nothing to do with me..."
I sighed slightly, looked at Sunny with some doubt and confusion, and asked softly: "Sunny, did you really contact me just to treat me to a simple meal?"
Hearing this, Sunny's eyes flashed with an unusual light, and a sly smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth: "To be honest, I will never do this, because it is not beautiful at all, so I will never do it. Asong...if you follow your own ideas and want to help A Lu anyway..."
Sunny smiled slightly, then leisurely pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, gently handed it to me and said, "Call this number, it's better to call now, just ask to rescue A Lu!"
I took the note from Sunny, and the number on it was particularly dazzling under the light. I suddenly felt an urge to call that number immediately and ask that person to rescue A Lu.
I carefully took out my phone and nervously unfolded the note Sunny gave me. I quickly and accurately entered the numbers on the phone one by one. After confirming the last number, I pressed the dial button.
There was a "beep, beep" sound from the other end of the phone, and each sound seemed to be knocking on my heart, making me so nervous that I could hardly breathe.
Finally, the call was connected, and Grandpa Jiro's drunken and familiar voice came through the receiver: "Hello?"
Hearing this voice, my eyes instantly moistened. I held back the tears that were about to burst out, and tried to make my voice sound steady and clear: "Hello, Grandpa Jiro, I am Xiaosong who met you on the train last time. There is something I want to ask you no matter what."
"So it's the little guy who gave me wine last time. Why did you call me suddenly?" Grandpa Jiro's voice was filled with confusion and concern.
I took a deep breath, my voice trembling a little: "Grandpa Jiro, my partner Mr. Alu is in danger now, I need your help. Can I trouble you to go to the food world? Help me save him."
On the other end of the phone, Grandpa Jiro smiled slightly, his voice full of kindness: "Sure, just consider it as a reward for the wine you gave me on the train last time! I will set off immediately and rescue your partner intact."
After that, Grandpa Jiro hung up the phone. I couldn't control myself anymore, tears welled up in my eyes and flowed quietly down my cheeks.
When Sunny saw me crying, he reached out his hand distressedly, patted my shoulder gently, and said softly: "You have to believe in Jiro, he will definitely rescue Alu!"
I nodded, trying to calm down and wipe the tears from my face. There was nothing I could do now except wait for news.
After a while, when I calmed down, Sunny offered to take me back to the hotel where I worked. We left the restaurant in silence, without speaking. I could feel Sunny's care and support, which made me feel a little better.
Sunny sent me to the entrance of the Gourmet Hotel. He looked at me gently with concern in his eyes: "A Song, you should go back soon and have a good rest. Wait for good news from Jiro. I will come to see you next time I have a chance."
I nodded gently and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Sunny."
Sunny's mouth curved into a beautiful arc, he gently kissed me on the forehead, and then turned and left. Looking at his back gradually going away, my heart was filled with gratitude.
About three days passed, time passed quietly in the busyness of the kitchen and the trivialities of life. I cooked in that familiar kitchen every day. Suddenly, a familiar voice came into my ears, it was A Lu's unique and kind call.
I was stunned for a moment, with the shovel still raised in the air, as if time had frozen at this moment. That voice was definitely A-Lu's, I couldn't have heard it wrong. I didn't have time to think about it, I quickly put down the tools in my hands, and ran towards the restaurant uncontrollably.
Walking through the kitchen door, I saw the familiar figure at a glance. A Lu was standing at the door of the restaurant, and the familiar figure looked so warm and real under the light.
I was so excited that I almost cried and shouted, "Mr. A Lu, you are finally back safely!"
