125 Neither humble nor arrogant

Chen Huanting's eyes rose from the top of the menu, looking at Lu Li, who was proficient in ordering, a little surprised, and a little surprised, she glanced at Jiang Lingyu staggeringly, and her eyebrows were really funny, which made Jiang Lingyu roll her eyes and provoke Chen Huanting to laugh. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Chen Huanting lowered her gaze and fell on the menu again, she couldn't help sticking out her tongue when she saw the price of each dish, she covered her mouth and tilted her head slightly, "Xiaoyu, is the cash on us enough?" ”

Jiang Lingyu looked at Chen Huanting with a shocked face, and said in a low voice, "You're the one with experience, aren't you?" ”

Tonight, she was just going to go out for a walk, so she just stuffed some cash change in her wallet, and didn't bring out her credit card at all - the first time she came to the United States, she still lacked experience, and she could only hope that Chen Huanting could be prepared. But now looking at Chen Huanting's worried expression, Jiang Lingyu was completely dumbfounded.

Chen Huanting shrugged her shoulders with an innocent expression, "What then?" ”

Jiang Lingyu felt tightness in his chest for a while, bit his lower lip, and secretly glanced at Lu Li. She didn't know how to deal with the situation like this, especially when the two elders were also present, and the situation was even more tricky to deal with. Originally, it was just a gesture, but it was just an unexpected encounter, and if Lu Li was allowed to spend money to invite a guest to dinner, things would seem to have turned sour, as if she had specially helped out in order to thank her. How did things get to this point?

After calming down a little and sorting out his thoughts, Jiang Lingyu put down the menu and said directly but politely, "Lu Li, this restaurant is too high-end, we are just ordinary small staff, and we will be bankrupt for dinner." Words that are neither humble nor arrogant will not make people feel offended at all, and they will be upright, but will make people feel good.

Jiang Lingyu's straightforward words startled Chen Huanting - this little girl was bold, she was even wilder than her, she couldn't help but look at Jiang Lingyu, and then at Lu Li, and her eyes fell on Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi next to her.

Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin exchanged glances, she didn't expect such a situation, Song Lingyi was just about to open her mouth to persuade, but saw Lu Li show a smile, and said equally politely, "If you want to leave, we can leave at any time now." Use your phone to find out what restaurants are worth visiting nearby. ”

Lu Li's reaction also surprised Jiang Lingyu, she looked at Chen Huanting unexpectedly, her eyes swept over Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi, and she showed an apologetic smile.

She knew that Song Lingyi had always wanted to express her gratitude, but in her opinion, she was deserved, and she met in the water, and the friendship reached out, nothing more. An Italian dinner so expensive is even more of a burden; But after hearing Lu Li's suggestion, she also realized that it was very rude for her to leave on the spot, and if she asked Lu Huaijin to leave with them, it would be difficult for the teachers to mobilize the people, and this would not be the solution.

"Jiang Lingyu." Lu Li's voice came from the other side, which made Jiang Lingyu turn his head, "Otherwise, you pay the corresponding expenses in cash, and then I will be responsible for the rest, let me, as a gentleman, express my etiquette to the ladies." Lu Li's face always had a warm smile on his face, which made Jiang Lingyu's mood ease slightly, "Of course, there is also a little respect for the unexpected situation this afternoon. ”

Jiang Lingyu was slightly stunned, then smiled dumbly, raised his head and looked at Lu Li, "I'm sorry, I'm too Virgo." Choosing to come to the Italian restaurant is the result of their consensus, Lu Li is always just expressing kindness and gratitude, after she puts down her baggage, things are much simpler, "In this case, I might as well be respectful." Thank you, uncle, thank you, aunt, for your hospitality tonight. ”

Song Lingyi showed a big smile, "Originally, it was just a meal, even if there was no help in the afternoon, it was normal for compatriots to meet here and have a meal together." Song Lingyi glanced at Lu Li, "I can't understand this menu, what do you want to eat, just order." ”

"Don't worry, Auntie, I'm not welcome." Chen Huanting interjected, and deliberately made an exaggerated expression on her face, rubbing her hands, which really made people laugh.

Jiang Lingyu looked at Chen Huanting, who completely let go of her hands and feet, the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little more helpless, she turned her head, and her eyes met Lu Li's bright eyes, and then she heard Lu Li lower her voice, "You can't really be a Virgo, right?" ”

Jiang Lingyu couldn't cry or laugh, his nose wrinkled slightly, "What, you have an opinion about Virgo?" ”

"Nope." Lu Li shrugged his shoulders, "I don't have any research on constellations. It's just that you just used such a gesture, and I guess, do you have an opinion about Virgo? ”

was counterattacked again, Jiang Lingyu also realized his mistake, so he admitted calmly, "No, I'm not a Virgo." Lu Li raised his eyebrows, looking forward to the follow-up words, but Jiang Lingyu had no intention of continuing, which made Lu Li spread his hands - since Chen Huanting and Song Lingyi were chatting next to them, the two of them did not finish speaking, and completely relied on their eyes and gestures to complete the communication.

Jiang Lingyu knew what Lu Li meant, he must have thought that she would say her constellation next, "I thought you didn't study constellations, did you?" Then there is no need for her to say her zodiac sign.

Lu Li nodded meaningfully, "You are indeed a Virgo." ”

The affirmative expression made Jiang Lingyu chuckle, spread his hands, and looked like "Then you think so", and the two of them seemed to be unwilling to give in to each other.

A dinner in a relaxed atmosphere. Lu Li has worked in the olive garden for so long, and he still knows a lot about Italian food, and the recommended dishes are very good - of course, this is a famous restaurant nearby, and the chef's skill is worthy of recognition, as long as you don't choose unpopular dishes, you can't go wrong.

At the end of the meal, it was just over half past eight, when there was already a queue at the entrance of the restaurant, and the peak dining season in Los Angeles was now slowly beginting. Fortunately, they arrived early and avoided the queue, otherwise they wouldn't know what time they would have eaten tonight.

Lu Li and Jiang Lingyu walked down the stairs of the restaurant, while discussing the question of whether Disneyland is crowded or not this season, there was a commotion on the side of the road, and many people moved in the same direction, which made Lu Li and his party also stop, raised their heads and looked over, some passers-by on the street were also excited, exchanging information with excited voices, but the sound was not loud, they couldn't hear it very clearly, only fragmented fragments, and then they watched them also merge into the crowd, Thinking about the direction of the street on the other side of the restaurant, they swarmed over.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong? Song Lingyi said with some concern.

Lu Li raised his chin and looked at it, "No, definitely not, it looks like there should be some Hollywood star who came here to eat." "This kind of situation is actually quite common in New York, but compared to the Hollywood base camp, it is still slightly inferior." It seems that he is still a popular star. ”

Song Lingyi suddenly realized, but then she was not very interested, she didn't have any idea about chasing stars.

Lu Li looked at Jiang Lingyu with a smile, "Aren't you curious?" ”

Jiang Lingyu shrugged his shoulders, "It's two eyes, two ears, and a mouth like us." Nothing out of the ordinary. If a guy with three heads and six arms comes one day, then I should be a little interested. ”

Lu Li was immediately amused, "That's why you want to go to Disneyland?" It's full of fantasy characters? ”

Jiang Lingyu clenched his fists and waved demonstratively, "What, girls have a princess dream, isn't this okay?" ”

"No, no, no." Lu Li raised his hands in surrender and quickly explained, "I just thought that you weren't the kind of girl waiting for the prince to come and redeem her. At least tonight's performance doesn't look like it's. ”

"Oh, of course I'm not." Jiang Lingyu didn't hesitate, and simply nodded neatly in acknowledgement, "I just like the animation world, and I also like 'Harry Potter'." ”

Lu Li suddenly realized, "Then you should go to Universal Studios, Hogwarts Castle has already opened there." ”

"I know! I will definitely go! Speaking of the wizarding world, Jiang Lingyu began to dance with his eyebrows, "Which Harry Potter character is your favorite?" ”

Chen Huanting, who was standing next to her, had an expression on her forehead, every time she talked about this topic, Jiang Lingyu would be like a child who didn't grow up, which was really damaging to her image.

Lu Li seemed to catch Chen Huanting's expression, and it was very hard to hold back a smile, but he still looked at Jiang Lingyu intently, "I like Hermione." ”

"Because she's pretty?" Jiang Lingyu asked.

Lu Li shrugged, "This is one of the reasons. But the more important reason was because she was the one who helped Harry find his way. Of course, she's a pretty girl, and that's even better. Do you know? JK-Rowling herself admitted that Hermione and Harry were originally a couple, but later readers guessed the plot, so she deliberately revised the story outline of the next three books, which also led to the later emotional line being very twisted. ”

"I think Hermione and Ron are a good match." Jiang Lingyu gave a different answer, seeing Lu Li's surprised expression, she puffed up her chest, "Yes, my favorite character is Ron." ”

"Then it seems that Brother Lu Shuai will have no play." Chen Huanting interjected next to her to avoid Jiang Lingyu from continuing to make trouble, "You like Ron, Ron is not a handsome guy, and Handsome Lu doesn't meet the standards." A ridiculous remark made Lu Li and Jiang Lingyu a little embarrassed, and Chen Huanting also noticed this and laughed "hehe".

"Then we'll go back first." Jiang Lingyu hurriedly spoke, before Chen Huanting further nonsense, "Uncle, aunt, the place where we live is only two streets away from here, thank you for your hospitality tonight." The two sides were polite again, and then they were finally ready to leave.

Jiang Lingyu turned around and looked at Lu Li, wanting to say something, but felt a little redundant, so he simply waved his hand, "Goodbye." Then she turned around and left in a dashing manner, but Chen Huanting kept waving her hand to Lu Li and shouted, "Brother Lu Shuai, there will be a chance to meet again in the future." Don't forget to stay in touch! ”

"Chen Huanting!" Jiang Lingyu dragged his little friend forward, which was extremely difficult.
