Douluo: Gou Zai Shrek silently upgrades - Chapter 376

c376 An embarrassing meal

Welcome guests to the restaurant, in the private room No. 3 of Tianzi.

The atmosphere seemed a bit dull. Zhou Huan was sitting at the main seat of the round dining table. On the left was Zhang Lexuan, on the right was Jing Hongchen, followed by Xiao Hongchen, the unknown girl and Meng Hongchen.

The food and wine haven’t been served yet, but the dining atmosphere has already deteriorated to the extreme.

Mainly because Jing Hongchen acted respectfully like a subordinate, Xiao Hongchen looked gloomy and sat on pins and needles, Meng Hongchen puffed out his face in frustration and said nothing, and the unknown girl did not dare to speak at all when she saw this.

The only common click among everyone is that silence is today’s lunch.

Zhang Lexuan looked calm and calm on the surface, but her hand had already reached under the table and pinched Zhou Huan’s thigh hard. The meaning was very clear, let you talk too much, what the hell is it that an invitation is not as good as a chance encounter and a meal together?

Do you think you can eat now?

It just so happened that Hongchen’s family was already very reserved and embarrassed, so why did you drag them to dinner together?

What kind of cool operation is this?

In fact, Zhou Huan was speechless. Wasn’t he just polite?

When you meet someone you know by chance in a strange city or at a place to eat, isn’t it normal to be polite?

I don’t force you to agree.

No way, this is a behavioral habit brought about by Zhou Huan’s past life memories.

He had obviously forgotten that with his current strength and status, how could Jing Hongchen dare to refuse when he said he wanted to have dinner together.

As a result, this embarrassing situation was created.

Zhou Huan sighed secretly in his heart, he still had to bear the blame.

Helpless, Zhou Huan could only smile awkwardly, and asked if he had anything to say: “Has Master Hongchen been taking care of Tiandou City in the past few years?”

Jing Hongchen replied as if reporting work: “Yes. Five years ago, our family was sent here by the Queen Mother to take charge of the management of Tiandou City.”

Zhou Huan nodded: “Very good, it seems that your Queen Mother of the Sun and Moon still values ​​your family very much.”

Jing Hongchen responded: “I am really grateful for the Queen Mother’s trust.”

Then…then there was no more words, and there was an awkward silence.

After a while, after racking his brains, Zhou Huan turned to look at Meng Hongchen and praised: “I haven’t seen you for more than ten years. Miss Meng’s soul master cultivation has made good progress. They are all titled Douluo. Come to think of it. He is also a ninth-level soul engineer, right?”

Meng Hongchen, who had been feeling aggrieved for a long time, never expected that he would be praised suddenly. He actually felt a little secretly happy in his heart, and said with a little pride, “Of course, I am also a genius after all.”

Zhou Huan nodded slightly. He agreed with this. Whether it was talent or martial arts, Meng Hongchen was not bad. He could even be said to be among the top batch. It is not difficult to become a titled Douluo at the age of thirty. .

However, Xiao Hongchen was originally more talented, but because of a soul master competition, he was crippled. Now he has barely broken through to Soul Douluo, and his realm is not very stable. It can be said that there is no hope of becoming a titled Douluo in this life. .

However, in this situation, it was already embarrassing enough. Zhou Huan definitely couldn’t bring up Hongchen, so he focused the topic on Meng Hongchen: “He is indeed quite a genius. He has surpassed our Shrek by 90%.” A genius disciple.”

Hearing this, Meng Hongchen frowned: “Is it just 90%?”

Zhou Huan rolled his eyes speechlessly: “Just be content. Among the people of the same generation as you and me, that is, the dozen or so people who participated in the Mingdu Soul Master Competition back then, how many of them are not titled Douluo now? Let alone the title. There are Douluo, including Super Douluo and Ultimate Douluo. As for Huo Yuhao who became a god, there is no need to mention it. Moreover, the 90% genius disciples I mentioned refer to the same group of disciples in the inner courtyard, not just the ones from back then. of participating team members, otherwise you will only be ranked in the middle position.”

Hearing Zhou Huan’s words, Meng Hongchen curled his lips, with a somewhat sinister tone in his voice: “I know you Shrek is awesome, huh.”

He was obviously a model of dissatisfaction. He was so frightened that Jing Hongchen’s beard trembled. He glared at his granddaughter, who still didn’t know how to be generous, and thought to himself, he really spoiled this stinky girl. How old is she? You still don’t know the seriousness of it. Is this a god you can vent your anger on?

In fact, Jing Hongchen thought too much.

It was rare for Zhou Huan to find a topic to talk about without making everyone sit awkwardly. How could he be angry because of Meng Hongchen’s petty temper.

What’s more, Zhou Huan never felt that he was superior to others. It was actually very common for everyone to chat normally and occasionally exchange a few harmless words.

It is even more impossible that just because you are strong and have a high level, you are like everyone else being ants. You have to be respectful even when talking to yourself. What is the point of being like this?

Zhou Huan believed from beginning to end that both humans and gods are equal in personality and dignity.

There is no need for others to treat you as an emperor just because you are strong.

This is obviously not the life Zhou Huan wants.

And Meng Hongchen changed from the sullen face before to the angry face that dared to confront Zhou Huan. In fact, Zhou Huan still found it quite interesting.

Thanks to Meng Hongchen’s “brainless” straightforwardness, Zhou Huan was finally able to chat for a few words, well, mainly because he was angry with Meng Hongchen.

But at least the scene was no longer dull as before.

After the food and wine arrived, I could finally finish the meal and occasionally comment on the taste of the dishes.

Although it wasn’t exactly like being at home, it was still a normal diplomatic meal.

After dinner, Jing Hongchen, who had been feeling uneasy, finally found a reason to leave. After all, he couldn’t disturb the couple’s play.

Soon, Jing Hongchen asked Ying Ke to come to the restaurant to arrange the accommodation of Zhou Huan and the others in Tiandou City for the past few days, and then left with Xiao Hongchen and the others.

Meng Hongchen also took a special look at Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan. While eating and chatting, she learned that these two people were actually married, and she felt depressed again. She didn’t even have a boyfriend until now, which was irritating!

After a few people left, Zhou Huan slumped down on the chair with a look of despair on his face and sighed heavily: “Oh, I’m so tired. Suddenly I understand the feeling of ‘it’s too cold at high places’. I used to think it was…” I just said it to show off, but I didn’t expect it to happen to me today.”

Zhang Lexuan rolled her eyes cutely: “It’s not all your fault. You knew it would be embarrassing, but you still ate together.”

Zhou Huan smiled bitterly: “This… is indeed my fault.”

After a pause, Zhou Huan suddenly pulled Zhang Lexuan over, hugged his wife, and said, “Honey, do you know what Full Nuan is thinking about?”

Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan’s face instantly turned red: “I’m going to die, you are so embarrassed in broad daylight.”

Zhou Huanxi smiled, kissed his wife’s rosy little face, and said: “We are on honeymoon, how can we distinguish between day and night, hehe.”
