In the past two days, Rachel felt that her appetite suddenly became a little strange. The food she didn't like before had become the food that made her drool.
This afternoon, she just finished the orange prepared by Julie and planned to sit on the sofa and watch the phone for a while to digest. But when she saw the fried chicken advertisement on TV, she inexplicably felt that her mouth began to flood with saliva.
In the past, she regarded the food as junk food. The nurses in the hospital liked it very much. They often ordered a take-out with fried chicken when they were free. At that time, the pantry was always filled with the smell of fried chicken. They thought it was very fragrant, but Rachel always felt that the oily smell was very strong, and it was not healthy.
But now, watching the advertisement on TV, she really wanted to have a big plate in front of her so that she could glut herself in it.
Rachel stretched out her hand and rubbed her belly. She felt hungry again. She bit her lips and hesitated for a long time. Finally, she made a decision and went back to her room to change her clothes.
Jack had just finished his work in the study and was about to go downstairs to have a look, but he happened to meet Rachel who had taken off her home clothes and was about to go out. He was flustered and reached out to stop her. "Rachel, what are you going to do?"
"I want to eat fried chicken."
Rachel put on her clothes in order to blow up the chicken, as if she was a glutton.
Jack rubbed between his eyebrows. Her answer was a little unexpected. He was stunned for a few seconds and came to his senses. He quickly walked back to the study, picked up his suit jacket, and said lightly, "Then I'll go with you."
"No, thanks." Rachel refused subconsciously, but he didn't take her words seriously and went straight to the stairs.
Well, since she didn't have a car, he could be a free driver.
Thinking of this, she followed him. She pressed the navigation on her mobile phone and found a small restaurant, which was crowded with people. The small store was already full of people.
Jack parked the car beside, rolled down the window and looked at the shop. "Are you going to eat inside or pack it up?"
Rachel frowned and hesitated for a while. She happened to see a couple coming out of the restaurant. A double table near the window was empty. She quickly smiled and said, "How about eating inside? Do you have time?"
"Yes!" Jack looked at her smile. At this moment, even if hundreds of millions of orders were placed in front of him to let him go back, he was afraid that he would not be willing to leave her for a second.
He reached out his hand to protect her from being touched by others. As soon as they arrived at the store, Rachel was about to order food at the counter, but was stopped by Jack. He pressed her shoulder and let her sit down at the table. He said in a gentle voice, "Sit here and wait for me. If you want to eat anything, tell me. I'll order it."
"But I don't know what to eat here."
It was the first time she had come to the fried chicken store, so she had no clue at all.
"Wait a minute."
After saying that, Jack turned around and walked towards the counter. He raised his mobile phone and patted the menu plate on it. Then he came back and sat down opposite her. There was a hint of appreciation in his tone, "Have a look. What do you like to eat?"
It turned out that there were so many kinds of fried chicken. Looking at the various names, she felt that she really had no idea how to order. After reading for a long time, she did not know. When she was about to order two randomly, Jack suddenly stood up and walked to the next table, where there were two junior high school students in school uniform sitting there.
Rachel was confused that why he suddenly went there? He asked, "Excuse me. Which do you think is the best fried chicken in this store?"
"It is what we are eating."
"Which one on the menu?"
After asking the question, he asked about other snacks in detail. He looked so serious as if he was talking about a company project. Seeing that, Rachel was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. At the same time, she was a little moved.
Jack almost finished his question. He sat down again and smiled, "How about a Korean fried chicken? It's said that the special sauce here is the best."
"Okay." Lowering her head to hide her slightly wet eyes, she said, "since you've asked, just do as they just recommended."
"Okay, wait for me." Not long after Jack sat down, he stood up again and stood behind the counter.
Looking at his back, which was dressed in a suit, standing in front of a group of students and young girls, she felt a warm stream rising in her heart. She felt hot on her face, as if she had drunk a glass of strong wine, and blood gushed out of her head.
Scarlett and her friends had just finished shopping with many bags in their hands, all of which were their spoils in the afternoon.
The girl pointed at the chicken store in front of them and said, "Go in and have a rest. I've been shopping for a long time. My legs are so sore now."
"This kind of place..." Scarlett frowned and said in disgust, "There are so many people inside, and they are all students. Isn't it too embarrassing to go to such a place? If my memory serves me right, there seems to be a Starbucks ahead. Let's go there and have a rest."
