The bustling Z City, the closer it is to the center of the city, the more it presents a different kind of splendor and gorgeousness, with high-rise buildings constantly changing dreamlike colors under the dress of modern technology, and even the cold night sky in November is also reflected in color.

The wide streets are clogged with surging limousines, men and women frolic into the brightly lit halls, the neon lights on the doors of shops and entertainment venues flash into the city's mystery, and the vendors struggle to find their dreams in the cold concrete jungle.

Xiao Nan stood under these high-rise buildings, feeling as small as a little ant, she looked up at the high-end consumption places around her, and a strong sense of strangeness arose. Although she had lived in the city for six years, the first four years she spent in an ivory tower that did not eat the fireworks of the world, and the last two years between work and bed, at most driving a motorcycle out of the city and up the mountain, although she lived in the city, there were many parts of the city that had nothing to do with her, such as the business circle in which she was now.

Xiao Nan, who was originally a little hesitant, was led into a restaurant near the parking lot by Zhao Yuxuan, as soon as he entered the door, the waiter who was dressed in a neat uniform and bowed to the guests, but his expression was calm, and his language was neither humble nor arrogant, so he bluffed Xiao Nan, and then walked inside, on both sides of the red carpet, six welcome ladies dressed in Western-style palace clothes and smiling but without a trace of kitsch expression, immediately made Xiao Nan feel that the consumption level here did not seem to be the place where a poor child like her should come.

Obviously, Zhao Yuxuan is very familiar with this place, he followed the forelady who led the way in front of him, and walking on the red carpet in the corridor was no different from Xiao Nan walking in his bedroom in cotton slippers, I don't know if he noticed the strangeness in Xiao Nan's eyes behind him, and just took his own relaxed and chic steps, leading Xiao Nan, who was somewhat shocked by the super luxurious momentum of this restaurant, to go inside.

The imitation Greek-style reliefs on the four walls of the hall on the first floor, and the brilliant and gorgeous Western-style crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling more than ten meters high to the top of people's heads, push the gorgeous and extravagant atmosphere of this restaurant to the extreme, but this atmosphere makes Xiao Nan feel like a thorn in his back.

The first time a child from a poor family comes to this kind of place, it is often two completely different manifestations: one will become inferior and decadent, and feel sorry for himself in his heart for why he was not born in the family of an official eunuch and a wealthy merchant, so that he can enjoy such a luxurious life, and on the surface he is frightened and timid, and shows more admiration and flattery to those who feast him than usual;

The other will check their gestures and mannerisms everywhere, and strive not to let themselves have the slightest humility and cowardice in their hearts, and also let themselves show more politeness than usual, more elegant conversation, more stable behavior, so that they look more worthy of respect than usual, even if it is difficult to fully do so at least, stand up straight and reduce unnecessary conversations, which is not only a kind of protection of the bottom line of self-personality, but also a kind of self-adaptation to the surrounding environment, she (he) wants to tell other people here through this self-restraint that she (he) may not be able to make herself suitable for the consumption grade here, but she (he). The soul is by no means inferior to that of any of the guests here.

There is no doubt that Xiao Nan belongs to the latter.

Maybe Zhao Yuxuan was completely unintentional, this was just an ordinary place for him to consume, maybe he invited Xiao Nan here just to invite her to enjoy the elegant environment here and the exquisite dishes that could not be tasted outside, but he completely ignored Xiao Nan's feelings, so that when he accidentally looked back and saw Xiao Nan's expression at this time, he couldn't help but be startled.

He has seen Xiao Nan who is as light as a deer, he has also seen Xiao Nan who is angry and brave, he has seen the melancholy and pain that flashed in Xiao Nan's eyes, and he has also seen Xiao Nan's red face and red shyness, but it was the first time he saw such a Xiao Nan.

What kind of expression is she? Let's say it's serious, the corners of her slightly upturned mouth still have a shallow smile, let's say it's indifferent, her surging autumn water is still gorgeous, three points solemn, three points easy-going, three points smart, and there is an inexplicable mystery hidden deep in the pupils, and this mystery itself also has a kind of charm.

Zhao Yuxuan didn't understand until today that a person's expression could still be wonderful even if he wasn't angry, cried or laughed, and this expression appeared on Xiao Nan's fairy-like face, and there was a taste of fireworks that didn't eat the world, which made Zhao Yuxuan feel a pang in his heart, and the little bit of superiority based on wealth that was originally hidden deep in his heart instantly collapsed.

The mademoiselle led the two of them to a window on the second floor, where black carved log tables and chairs were next to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Gothic vault from the ceiling to the floor. After Xiao Nan and Zhao Yuxuan sat down, the waiter handed over the exquisite menu, and Zhao Yuxuan very gentlemanly transferred the menu to Xiao Nan and asked her to order first.

Xiao Nan took the menu, her first reaction was not to look at the menu introduction and photos, but involuntarily estimated how much time it would take to print a thousand copies of this menu if she designed and produced it, how much would it cost, this should be regarded as an occupational disease...... It wasn't until she figured out that it was time to place an order for the customer and pay the advance payment, and then she realized that she was dining at a high-end restaurant.

Raising her eyes, Zhao Yuxuan was looking at herself curiously, the expression was like a child who saw a koala bear for the first time, she couldn't help but blush slightly, opened the menu and took a closer look, this look really startled her, in the menu marked in Chinese and French, the price of the cheapest fruit platter will be close to 100 yuan, and the other main dishes don't need to be seen at all, where is this eating, it is simply burning money.

"What, isn't the food here to your liking?" Zhao Yuxuan saw that Xiao Nan was reluctant to order, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked in a low voice.

"It's not...... I ...... "Xiao Nan wanted to say that I wasn't hungry and didn't have an appetite and didn't want to eat anything, but her stomach gurgled uncooperatively. Originally, she didn't eat enough at noon, but this time she immediately felt her stomach juice boiling when she saw the photos of the dishes on the beautiful menu. However, being invited to eat in this kind of place completely violates Xiao Nan's consistent principle of "no merit is not punished", since you can't eat others for nothing, it is difficult for you to have any substantial returns, and you are reluctant to invite back, so it is better not to eat this meal......

“

I'm sorry, I don't like the environment, I thought we'd better change places......"

"Xiao Nan, wait a minute......" Zhao Yuxuan really couldn't see that the petite and slender Xiao Nan was really fast enough to walk, why are you running so fast, and there is no tiger chasing you behind, and this is already out of the restaurant, where are you going?

"Xiao Nan, wait a minute......"

Xiao Nan finally stopped, turned around slowly, and saw that the luxurious and extravagant restaurant had been left behind by him more than a hundred meters away, so he let out a long breath. It's so depressing, I really can't stand that kind of atmosphere, it's really not a place where the children of poor families should go, and they won't go into that kind of place again in the future.

Zhao Yuxuan hurried to Xiao Nan's side in three steps and two steps, and when he saw Xiao Nan's slender eyebrows frowning lightly, he was silent, and he thought that he had provoked her somewhere. "Xiao Nan, you ...... Are you angry?"

"No ......" Xiao Nan turned his face to avoid Zhao Yuxuan's eager gaze. She was really not angry, but she was suppressed by her sense of dignity in that atmosphere just now, the sense of restraint that she couldn't be free, and the little inferiority complex that emerged from the bottom of her heart after going out, made her feel extremely uncomfortable, and, because she was hungry and hated, there was a little bit of low blood sugar, and she felt weak in her body, and her hands and feet were soft. "I'm not angry, I'm just not used to the feeling there, I really can't afford such a high level of consumption, why don't we change the place to eat?"

"That's good......" Zhao Yuxuan nodded, he didn't realize what he had done wrong until now, he just felt that Xiao Nan was a young girl who had never seen the world, in fact, if you went to a few more similar high-end restaurants, you would know that the price of this one was already low...... "It's better like this, let's go to whichever one you like in this area, in short, I'll treat you tonight......"

I don't like you like this, isn't it great to be rich, cut, don't look at me poor, you still owe me 400 yuan! Xiao Nan sighed softly, took out his mobile phone and took out Li Tong's phone number.

"Hey, Li Tong, I'm Xiao Nan......"

"Ah, Xiao Cheng, what's the matter, is there something?" Li Tong's cheerful tone came from the phone, and the sound of her biting nuts with her teeth.

"Well, that's the case, I went to the vicinity of the first ring road business circle with a friend, I want to have a meal here, and ask you, a gourmet, where are the more affordable, delicious and distinctive ...... nearby" Xiao Nan glanced at Zhao Yuxuan, who was standing beside her in a spotless white casual suit: "I want a slightly better environment and a cleaner restaurant, I don't know if you are familiar with it?"

"Hehe, how can you have a hard time getting me for this kind of question! I'm the moderator of the food section of the Z City Information Port! Listen, the location is in the ...... It's a pretty good restaurant, it's not very big, it's scary, the food tastes great, it's a little small, but the price is fair......"

It is worthy of Li Tong, where is there anything delicious in Z City, there is nothing she doesn't know, Xiao Nan wrote down the location and said thank you and hung up the phone, Li Tong smiled evilly on the microphone: "Dead girl, you haven't eaten so late, who are you crazy with, male or female? Ordinary friends or boyfriends?"

"It's an ordinary friend!" Xiao Nan didn't even think about blurting out, and waited until Li Tong on the other side of the phone let out a meaningful sigh of "oh-" that she realized that she seemed to have said the wrong thing again.
