CHAPTER XXIV
It wasn't until he sat down that Luo Luo finally felt that something was wrong.
Ning Shi's hooligan follower is not there!
But this is better, so that Luo Luo will lose his appetite when he sees him, and when he thinks of his lustful face in the morning, he wants to vomit out the overnight meal.
After the quiet time was settled, the servants began to put the exquisite lunches on the table in an orderly manner. Different from the morning, the lunch meal is all authentic Chinese food, and the exquisite presentation is more than a work of art. Most of these dishes are light, with vegetarian meat and soup, and occasionally a few spicy dishes are only placed in front of Luoluo.
Ji Meizhi changed her previous temperament, and said to Luo Luo kindly: "I specially instructed the kitchen to make it according to Miss Zhong's taste, if there is anything dissatisfied, just come and tell me, I will let them improve it again." ”
Luo Luo was a little flattered, since the first meeting, Ji Meizhi has always looked high, but now that she is suddenly so polite, Luo Luo is really a little unaccustomed.
Luo Luo smiled, "Thank you, Aunt Ji." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden silence in the restaurant, Ji Meizhi looked at Luo Luo, and seemed to be a little surprised, but soon this surprise was replaced by a kind smile. Only Ning Shi quietly wiped his hands and never looked up.
Luo Luo also felt that the atmosphere seemed to be wrong just now, but he couldn't figure out what he had done wrong. I simply took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of West Lake vinegar fish, and put it in my mouth.
"Hmm~ delicious!"
Ning Shi looked at her, and seemed to have an appetite, and also picked up a piece of West Lake vinegar fish and put it in his mouth.
Fresh and tender, sweet and sour, light and refreshing, it is a good dish.
"You don't like sweets. He suddenly looked at his mouth lightly, staring at Luo Luo with a pair of inky eyes.
The dish is also sweet, sweet and sour.
Luo Luo carefully picked the fish bones, "If you don't like to eat, it doesn't mean you don't eat it, it's nothing to eat once in a while." As she spoke, she took a piece of spicy chicken and put it in her mouth, and the spicy sensation exploded on the tip of her tongue, which was very appealing to her appetite.
She immediately grabbed a piece of the dish and put it in Ning Shi.
"Try it, this one is delicious, too. She smiled kindly.
Eating people with a short mouth and soft hands, she eats Ning Shi, so naturally she has to pat his ass.
Ning Shi stared at the piece of chicken on the plate, which was still stained with a drop of chili peppers, and the expression on his face was unprecedentedly tense, as if he was facing a great enemy.
The scene in front of me is inexplicably familiar, as if it ...... Last night he looked at that plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes!
Luo Luo bit his chopsticks and looked at them a little confused.
It's just a piece of chicken, is he nervous like this?
Could it be that he is a Hui?
What the Hui don't eat is pork.
The Manchus don't eat dog meat, so what doesn't eat chicken?
Luo Luo's brain was a mess of yarn entangled, and his head was dizzy.
She didn't understand, it was just a meal, why did it make it so complicated?
Ji Meizhi stepped forward with a gentle and modest smile, "Miss Zhong has been here for a short time, you may not know something, Mr. has always had a light taste and does not eat spicy." And Miss Zhong wants to pick up vegetables for her husband next time, it is best to use chopsticks. ”
Following Ji Meizhi's gaze, I saw that there was indeed a pair of chopsticks on her right hand.
Luo Luo was a little embarrassed and blushed.
Looking at Ning Shi again, he didn't even move the piece of chicken she sandwiched, and he didn't know whether he disliked the dish or her chopsticks.
The most unbearable thing is that Ning Shi himself didn't use chopsticks!
This is clearly a double standard!
Luo Luo put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the pair of "chopsticks" with stiff fingers, and kept telling himself in his heart that he should be in someone else's house, and the guest is as he pleases, but this master's rules are a bit too much.
As one of the five good young people of the 21st century, there is nothing difficult to accept about this.
This time the restaurant was never like last time, and Ning Shi began to clean up the table as soon as he left. Luo Luo was silent and switched the two pairs of chopsticks back and forth, it was the time for her to grow her body, so she had to eat more.
The embarrassing thing is that the original owner's stomach is too small, and she can't eat more than half of the real her.
When she returned to the room, the door was still locked, she twisted it a few times irritably, and kicked it hard, but the door did not move.
Now the depression in her heart disappeared a lot, and her reason began to return.
It seems that no one will take the initiative to open the door for her.
Originally, I wanted to take the opportunity to mention this matter after taking a sycophant at noon, but I didn't expect to be messed up by a piece of spicy chicken in the end.
She grabbed a servant who was cleaning the window in the hallway, and asked her cautiously, "Excuse me, the lock on my room seems to be broken, can you open it for me?"
The girl in front of her had her long hair scattered, and her eyes seemed to be watery all year round, soft and soft, full of pleading, which was difficult to refuse.
The servant knew the girl, who was the husband's "girlfriend."
The maid had a soft heart and accompanied her to the door of the room to check.
"It's not that the lock is broken," the maid twisted the doorknob, "it's locked in the central control room." ”
"So, what then?" What is the central control room...... Central control room?
"Let's go to Steward Ji to report. ”
"......" was locked by Ji Meizhi.
Luo Luo choked in his throat, and there were words of suffering. But I still didn't forget to smile and say thank you.
The servant went back to continue cleaning the window, and while wiping it, he recalled Miss Zhong's lovely smile just now, which was soft and soft, making people want to pinch it. No wonder someone can be a gentleman's girlfriend!
Luo Luo was sad for a while, and finally decided to jump out of the window to go back to the room, there were two servants in the corridor who were still cleaning the windows, and it was not appropriate to jump around, so she decided to go around through the front door.
When I arrived in the front hall, I happened to meet Ning Shi in a suit and leather shoes, and was about to go out, when Ji Meizhi and Steward Ning stood aside.
Luo Luo didn't know Ning Li, but recognized his identity from the way he dressed. The old man was dressed delicately and neatly, with a golden pocket watch chain on his chest that drew a perfect arc, a high nose with silver-rimmed glasses, and his hair was meticulously combed, quite in the style of a British knight.
It fits perfectly with the description in the book.
At this time, Ning Shi also saw her, and his noble arm was raised slightly, beckoning her over.
Now that they've all met, she can't turn around and leave. Luo Luo walked over, his mind full of cranky thoughts.
Could Ning Shi still be angry about that piece of chicken just now?
She walked over slowly, her hands behind her back, her fingers stirred together, and her eyes looked at her toes, like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting to be reprimanded by the head teacher.
"Come and send me?" Ning Shi said in a low tone, and he seemed to be in a good mood when he listened.
How dare Luo Luo tell him that he was just passing by, so he nodded slowly.
Ning Shi also nodded, and neither of them spoke again.
After Ning Shi left, Luo Luo seized the opportunity to ask Ji Meizhi, "Aunt Ji, the door of my room can't be opened, can you help me find someone to take a look?"
Ji Meizhi then remembered the door lock, and in order to punish Luo Luo, she asked Wang Ke to lock people up. It was probably at that time that the door was locked in the central control room.
The truss Tan Palace has its own emergency measures, in order to prevent gangsters or other emergencies, all doors have two locks, one is the door lock, the room owner can control by himself, the other is the central lock, controlled by the central control room, once the central control room locks the door of a certain room, it is no one can open it.
Ji Meizhi smiled and glanced at Wang Ke, "You go and help Miss Zhong take a look." ”
Luo Luo was overjoyed, thanked him and walked towards the room behind Wang Ke.
When she arrived at the door of the room, Wang Ke showed her and said, "Oh, Miss Zhong, your door is locked, you have to find the central control room, I'll help you ask." ”
"Then I'll go with you. ”
"No, no, no," Wang Ke excused, "how dare you work Miss Zhong, I'll go back when I go." ”
"Uh-huh, thank you. Luo Luo smiled, she still understands a little bit of human sophistication.
Luo Luo stood at the door and waited for a long time, so long that the two glass-cleaning servants had finished their work, but Wang Ke had not yet returned. After a while, Luo Luo simply didn't wait, and jumped out of the corridor neatly, jumping back to the room through the window.
These people are too much!
She also thought that the change in attitude was a sign of peace, and it was just her own sentiment after engaging in it for a long time.
I really don't know what good she can do them by being so embarrassed!
Luo Luo thought angrily.
In the mirror, the water elf-like person, his little face was bright red because of anger.
She looked at her face closely, it was beautiful, it was that delicate beauty, like a bubble floating in the air, there was a beauty that would shatter at the touch of it.
Luo Luo sighed in his heart, there is a way to be a red face and a curse. It's not uncommon for people to be sent around by their families when they grow like this. She thought of her grandfather again for a while, and she didn't know how he was doing, and if his leg hurt anymore.
Hey, I don't know when I'll be able to wear it back again, so I can only try to make myself better now.
At dinner, Luo Luo still went to the front hall in advance to wait, after all, she and Ning Shi could also contact each other during meal time. Dinner was a little more hearty than during the day, but there was no spicy stuff anymore. The meat and vegetables were just right, Luo Luo took a closer look and found that Ning Shi preferred to eat lighter food, and he only moved each dish once.
"What are you looking at?" Ning Shi didn't raise his head, and his temperament was cold.
"No, I don't think you're very keen on eating...... Luo Luo said casually.
Ning Shi felt a little funny, he was not her, if eating was not one of the necessary ways to maintain physical functioning, he thought that he would not walk into the restaurant for half a step at all.
Ning Shi was about to go upstairs after dinner, but was pulled by Luo Luo, who caught up.
Ning Shi looked at Luo Luo's hand holding the corner of his clothes, and his eyes were a little cold. Luo Luo hurriedly let go, she almost forgot that Ning Shi didn't like others to touch him.
"Huh?" was a questioning sound that almost snorted through his nose.
Luo Luo hesitated between saying and not saying.
If so, the best case scenario is to solve the problem for her. But what if Ning Shi hates being sued, will she be disliked, punished, or locked up altogether?
But if she doesn't say it, she can't keep jumping around like this, right?
Ning Shi looked at her quietly, his hands in his trouser pockets, and his patience was gradually draining......
"You need to give me a good reason. ”
Ning Shi's words had no beginning or end, but Luo Luo was full of joy. She looked at the man in front of her in a daze, he was very tall, she needed to look up at him. His eyes concealed dangerous emotions, and the momentum in his body was even more terrifying.
Luo Luo found that it seemed that at night, Ning Shi's temper would be extraordinarily short-tempered, and he was not as easy to talk as during the day.
Suddenly, she didn't want to say anything, she just wanted to leave quickly. Jumping out of a window is better than facing the moody tyrant in front of you.
"Good night. She whispered quickly and softly, turned and ran.
Ning Shi looked at her running back, and the anger that was faintly erupting just now suddenly seemed to be extinguished by a bucket of water.
Did you scare her just now?
He stood in silence, his face getting colder and colder, and his mood was even worse than before, but he didn't want to be angry anymore.
After coming out of the study after a busy time, Ning Shi twisted his neck a few times, his face was full of exhaustion. It was nearly eleven o'clock, and the wall lamps illuminated the corridors and stairs dimly.
