Chapter 429: A Promise Under the Stars
The evening breeze faded, the stars lit up the entire starry sky, and the tide on the sea surface was overdue, faintly dissipating a little wine.
Sikong Yao put the empty bottle to the side, and then got up.
"Shall you go back?" Sikong Yao made a request.
Bai Xia felt the slightly cooler air in the middle of the night, nodded, and said, "Hmm." ”
Sikong Yao pushed the wheelchair and quietly did not make a sound, feeling bad in his heart.
Bai Xia tried to break the awkward atmosphere, so he asked, "What's next?" What's the plan? ”
Sikong Yao pondered for a while, and then said: "Now that the matter of Minghe Restaurant has been resolved, I have to go back to the academy to study hard, and there is not much time before the National Cherry Cup Dessert Competition." ”
Bai Xia muttered, "Really? It was a good school and there was a lot to learn. ”
Sikong Yao asked rhetorically, "Bai Xia, where did you learn your cooking skills?" ”
≡ since Sikong Yao knew Bai Xia, he only knew that this Bai Xia had extraordinary cooking talents, but he didn't know where he learned these skills.
⊥ no matter how different a person's talent is from ordinary people, if there is no guidance from a famous teacher, how can he not take a detour? And Bai Xia is obviously not a person who wastes time, behind him, there must be a famous teacher.
Sikong Yao thought so in his heart, so he asked, "Is it your family?" ”
Sikong Yao had never heard Bai Xia mention the affairs of his family, and only vaguely knew that his family seemed to be a very powerful family, but he didn't know why. Thinking about it now, Sikong Yao doesn't seem to know much about Bai Xia.
Bai Xia never thought that Sikong Yao would care about this question, but he soon realized that it was obviously his mistake, but he didn't seem to intend to prove the answer to this question.
"Huh? It can also be counted. Bai Xia replied vaguely. Sikong Yao was a little displeased.
◎ Xu is Sikong Yao's way of asking was wrong, so that the cunning Bai Xia slipped over, Sikong Yao tried to further ask Bai Xia's family situation, so he said, "Do you also have a restaurant at home?" ”
Bai Xia thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Sort of, a Xufang." ”
A Xufang? Sikong Yao was obviously only confused by such an answer. A chef from Ochibo can teach a chef like Hakunatsu. Categorically impossible.
Sikong Yao asked again, "What's it called?" ”
Bai Xia shrugged. Said: "But it's no longer open now, so it doesn't matter what it's called, right?" ”
Sikong Yao obviously felt that Bai Xia was shirking this question, and sighed lightly. Since Bai Xia didn't want to show it, then let him go. Knowing Bai Xia was not a matter of a day or two, and Sikong Yao knew that if he didn't want to say it, no matter how much he asked, it would be useless.
Sikong Yao sniffed. Immediately changed the subject, and said: "The French side." How is it? You said it was the home of desserts. ”
∝ remembered Bai Xia's words when the two parted in the past three years, Sikong Yao still felt a little funny at this time, but his anger was gone, and he was no longer obsessed.
Bai Xia thought about his experience in France in the past three years. Then he sighed: "France...... It's a good place, but it's still not for me. ”
Sikong Yao was puzzled: "Isn't the royal treatment bad?" ”
Bai Xia shook his head lightly and said, "I am currently working in a three-star Michelin restaurant. Silver coral. ”
"The boss is harsh?" Sikong Yao continued to ask.
There was a hint of helplessness in Bai Xia's eyes, and he said, "The boss is a very good person." But I'm leaving soon, so I don't want to leave any deep friendships behind. It's not good for him or me. ”
Sikong Yao shrugged helplessly and said, "Where are you going to go this time?" ”…
Bai Xia's body is like a wind, it will never stop, it has just settled down at this moment, and it will leave the next moment, as always.
Bai Xia looked at the starry sky, and at the end of the Milky Way in the distance, the light of countless stars was beating, and the extraordinarily bright stars were actually dazzling beams of light generated after the explosion of the huge stars.
Bai Xia suddenly felt a sense and explored Sikong Yao: "Do you know why the stars shine? In fact, they may no longer be there. ”
Sikong Yao nodded, she still knew some basic astronomical knowledge: "After the core of the celestial body burns out, it will quickly collapse, and then explode itself, and the huge energy emitted will shine light." The stars we see began to shine hundreds of thousands of years ago, or even earlier. ”
Bai Xia nodded affirmatively, and said, "Then have you ever thought about how long it will be before the light of the earth will also be transmitted to another planet?" ”
Sikong Yao didn't think about this question, just shook his head, "I don't know." ”
Bai Xia sighed and said, "The energy crisis is getting worse every day, maybe that day will come soon." ”
Bai Xia looked at the endless sea of fish through the starlight, maybe tomorrow the sun will not rise, the world will die in an instant, and all the beauty will be destroyed in one fell swoop. Such thoughts appeared in Bai Xia's fantasy more than once.
Sikong Yao thought about it, and a similar question had been raised by a person, "The end of the Third Ice Age?" ”
A trace of consternation flashed in Bai Xia's eyes, and he was puzzled: "You know? This should ...... Oh...... I see, no wonder. Sikong Yi senior, is it your relative? ”
The person who put forward this statement is none other than one of the founders of the Heart of Sacred Food, that is, Sikong Yao's uncle, Sikong Yi.
Sikong Yao nodded and replied truthfully: "Yes, he is my uncle." ”
Bai Xia shrugged her shoulders a little amusedly, and said, "Then she should have talked to you about the Light of the Heart of the Holy Food, right?" ”
Sikong Yao had no motive to deceive Bai Xia, but just responded, "Yes, about the great prospect of the Heart of the Holy Food. ”
"Ah, that's a great idea indeed." Bai Xia still remembered the surging in his heart when he first heard this idea, "Your uncle is also a great scientist, if his idea can be realized, it will be great." ”
Sikong Yao always felt that Bai Xia had something to hide from her, about why he was assassinated by Chi Na.
Sikong Yao stopped suddenly, and the sudden pause in speed made Bai Xia vigilant
"Bai Xia, do you know the mutant string?" Sikong Yao asked Bai Xia directly.
Bai Xia was blunt and said, "Hmm." Mayor Ke told me. ”
Sikong Yao shook his head and said, "No, you don't just know this, you already knew about it before Mayor Ke mentioned the mutant string to you, right?" ”
Bai Xia was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Sikong Yao's intuition to be even more difficult than he imagined.
Bai Xia smiled lightly: "It seems that I can't hide it from you, forget it." You also have the right to know about it. ”
Now it was Sikong Yao's turn, and he was a little surprised. It's rare that Bai Xia will actually confess to her.
Bai Xia explained: "Actually, the idea of mutant strings, my father. He was also one of the proposers, my ancestor, who was good at stargazing, starting with my grandfather's generation. Something came to the conclusion of the speculation. ”
Sikong Yao said blankly: "About the ...... of this world Perish? ”
Bai Xia nodded and responded, "Yes." But my father felt that there was still a chance to stay. He loves the world, just like your uncle. A group of like-minded people came together and finally came up with the idea. ”
Sikong Yao felt as if he had been deceived, and said with some surprise: "You didn't say that your family just opened a small workshop......"...
Bai Xia smiled symbolically. "There is no essential conflict between opening a small workshop and proposing a theory. ”
Sikong Yao glanced at Bai Xia and snorted coldly: "That's about the mutant string." How much do you know? ”
At least so far, except for the fact that he has had contact with Lan Dan and Lu Feng. Sikong Yao didn't know anything about the mutant string, at least Bai Xia would know more about it.
Bai Xia suddenly stopped laughing, and stopped abruptly, the atmosphere was a little cold.
"Xiao Yao, there are some things, it must be too early for you now, but I think you have the right to know."
Bai Xia's tone suddenly became serious, which made Sikong Yao stunned for a moment. She knew that Bai Xia, who had always been frivolous, rarely had such a serious appearance, even when she confronted Xie Xiongfei in the morning, Bai Xia was only a little stricter, but not so serious.
"What's wrong?" Sikong Yao's heart was faintly uneasy.
Bai Xia said in a serious voice: "Maybe my personal decision is a little reckless, but I think it is still necessary to tell you something, mutation...... I've infiltrated this world. It's not a smart program set in the game, it's a living ...... Person. ”
Sikong Yao's eyes became round because of surprise, and it was difficult to accept this statement for a while, but she knew that Bai Xia had never deceived her......
Bai Xia smiled lightly and said, "I knew that you wouldn't understand this if you talk to you now." Forget it, it's not something you need to worry about anyway, your task is to keep working hard and become a top chef. ”
Sikong Yao suddenly felt that some things on his mind had been unlocked, related to Bai Xia.
"Three years ago...... You don't just want to leave, do you? Sikong Yao's heart suddenly hurt a little uncomfortable.
Bai Xia didn't answer Sikong Yao's question, but it was a tacit acquiescence on another level.
"Promise me to strive to become a truly first-class pastry chef, world-class, truly first-class, how about it?" Bai Xia looked at Sikong Yao affectionately.
At this moment, her tears could no longer be suppressed, and she had always believed that Bai Xia would leave her because she couldn't help herself. Now after getting a positive answer, the pain in my heart is unbearable.
"Hey, if you cry once, I won't be able to stand it." Even Bai Xia couldn't forget that time three years ago, his heart was almost torn apart with the same pain, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "How is it?" When the time comes, I will become a first-class chef, not just desserts. ”
Sikong Yao burst into tears, Bai Xia would prefer to see her, it should be her happy appearance, right?
"Don't look down on people, I will become a world-class pastry chef one step ahead of you."
Bai Xia nodded and sighed, "Ah, then make an appointment, don't let me down." ”
Sikong Yao also nodded, and said resolutely: "Well, it's an appointment!" (To be continued)
