For this three-star evaluation, Xie Keer is not so important, he and Ling Li talked about Michelin's past and present life, and also said that in fact, without that standardized and rigid evaluation system, the chef can better innovate and play the level.

Ling Li's attention was not at all on his introduction, and he looked down at the three rows of knives and forks on the table, at a loss.

Noticing her embarrassment, Sheker called the waiter and whispered a few words, after which the waiter took two of them and kept only one.

Now Ling Li is at ease, and she doesn't have to worry about using it wrong.

As for the food, from Ling Li's point of view, it was almost impeccable.

The duck breast is plump, the foie gras jelly is fragrant and rich, the braised veal in white sauce is fragrant and juicy, and the rose soufflé is even more delicious as a dessert.

Unsurprisingly, I ate again, and almost hiccuped in this elegant-looking place.

After dinner, when Sheker took her across the street, he always silently placed himself in the direction of the incoming car.

A gentleman can no longer be a gentleman, and his words and deeds are impeccable.

Everything was unexpectedly pleasant.

Xie Keer is a person who is very good at controlling his actions and emotions, and he did not bring her the slightest cramped or uneasy, as promised to her in the morning.

Even if the appearance is not so in line with the traditional aesthetics, Ling Li still thinks of a sentence - a gentleman is like jade, warm and lush.

Ling Li fell asleep in the car, and when she woke up, she found that the car was parked by a lotus pond, the air conditioning in the car was on, and unknown piano music was playing in the stereo.

Sheker stood under the willow tree by the lotus pond, leaving her with a tall back.

Ling Li opened the door and got out of the car, originally prepared to accept the baptism of the heat wave, but never thought that the temperature outside was quite cool.

The swaying shadows of the trees, the cool chirping of cicadas, the sound of frogs, and the graceful lotus flowers, everything is beautiful like a painting.

Ling Li walked over slowly, Xie Keer seemed to not notice the footsteps behind him, crossed his arms, and looked into the distance.

"What are you looking at?" Ling Li lowered his voice, for fear of startling him.

Xie Keer turned his face slightly, met her gaze for a second, then looked away, and said, "There seems to be an egret in this place, be quiet, maybe it will come out in a while." ”

"Egret?" Ling Li's eyes widened, trying to find the tall white bird from the cluster of lotus shadows.

She kept staring at the lotus pond, but she never found out where the egret in Sheker's mouth was.

I was about to ask Xie Keer again, but when I turned my head, I seemed to smell a faint fragrance of flowers.

When he stared at it, it was a bouquet of lilac lotus flowers that he handed over.

"It's ......" her back tensed suddenly, and her body stiffened.

"I picked it by hand," he smiled faintly, "you know it's the season of the lotus, and the roadside is full of this." ”

His joking words didn't put her at ease in the slightest.

This bouquet of flowers should have been prepared by him a long time ago, and his every move from morning to afternoon was probably just to pave the way at this time.

The tourists who happened to pass by the lotus pond for a walk, with some curiosity and inquisitive eyes, looked at the two of them from time to time, and lowered their voices to discuss, Xie Keer still held the flower in her direction, the smile on his face was light and natural, even if Ling Li didn't reach out to pick it up at all, he was not embarrassed at all.

Ling Li stared at the small insects crawling on the lotus stamens, as well as the calyxes that were a little curly, and she was stunned.

I don't know where my thoughts drifted, and suddenly I thought that the soufflé just now was so delicious that it flew up, but while she was enjoying the food, her eyes couldn't help but glance at the paper towel that Xie Keer wiped the coffee stains on his lips and threw them on the table.

There is also a bit of ash on the upper of his green tail, which is also particularly conspicuous at this time.

Suddenly, I thought of the person I met in the elevator in the morning, with slightly tired eyes and a thin and haggard face, who had probably been making up for sleep at home all day today, and I don't know if I had breakfast or lunch at this time?

There was a bang in her head, as if there was a sound of collapse, and she couldn't control the divergence of her thoughts, and she could no longer hear the sound or see the picture in front of her.

Xie Keer called her lightly twice, and seeing that there was no reaction or anxiety, he waited quietly in place, maintaining the posture of handing her the flowers.

I don't know how long the fugue has been, but when Ling Li's eyes focused on the people and flowers in front of him again, he realized the overwhelming embarrassment in the air.

Xie Ke's posture of holding the flower lasted for at least a minute.

He smiled and raised his eyebrows, with scrutiny in his eyes, and some emotions that Ling Li couldn't understand.

Ling Li's stunned state dissipated, and he was instantly awakened.

Coming to the fork in the road again, what should she do? Do you accept the flowers and acquiesce in the further progress of their relationship, or refuse to let the relationship between the two regress to before today?

She bit her lip and took a step back, staggering her position from him, still not taking the bouquet after all.

Xie Keer seemed to expect such a result, and smiled nonchalantly and said, "You don't either?" Then I'll take it home to my mom. ”

She lowered her head, couldn't help feeling guilty, and said, "I'm sorry. ”

Xie Keer nodded, still smiling lightly: "It's nothing, don't take it to heart." ”

Back in the city from the south, Xie Keer didn't seem to be anything wrong, but compared to the morning, he smiled a little less and was a little silent.

Thinking of the bunch of purple lotus flowers that she rejected by the lotus pond, Ling Li felt a little weak.

She didn't know what she was thinking at that time, how could she refuse a bouquet of flowers that seemed to be harmless at the right time?

The night before, she clearly thought very clearly, she wanted to say goodbye to the past and start a new life, even if she and Xie Keer had no possibility of development, she could get along as ordinary friends, and how to develop in the future.

But why didn't you dare to accept the bouquet?

She just needs to take the flowers, say thank you, and all the embarrassment can be resolved.

Moreover, it's just a bunch of lotus flowers, not roses, so why can't you accept it? Didn't she not receive the flowers sent by Xie Keer, the bouquet of tulips, and the rose bear that is still on the foot of the bedroom, wasn't it all from him?

At that time, how could you think of Nanzhiyi from a bouquet of flowers? Why do you think that accepting that bouquet of flowers is a complete farewell to Nanzhiyi?

Why did Dan Fan have a little bit of affairs related to Nan Zhiyi in her mind, and the decision she had made would turn a hundred and eighty degrees and deviate in a completely different direction?

Is he poisonous, or is she too stupid?

Ling Li was uneasy, unaware of the changes in the scenery outside the window, it was actually driving home, and she didn't notice that she had actually been sighing secretly.

Xie Keer, who seemed to be concentrating on driving, quietly looked at her sideways, making sure that this person was fugue and chagrined, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Eating too much at noon, are you out of appetite now? I still have to eat with my family in the evening, so I'll send you home first, is there a problem? ”

The cars all drove in the direction of the third ring road to the east, and Xie Keer specially reminded her.

Ling Li woke up from his fugue and nodded apprenodantly as he looked at his seemingly calm face.

She always felt that his indifferent eyes actually contained emotions that she couldn't see through.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Sheker sent her downstairs.

Xie Keer stopped the car, held the steering wheel, and did not speak, but his eyes were dark.

The embarrassment of silence made Ling Li sit on pins and needles, and said, "Mr. Xie, I'll get off the car first." ”

"Well," he nodded, and when Ling Li pulled the car door, he suddenly said, "Don't care, I'm not angry, I'm just in a slightly bad mood." Today's incident was originally my obstinacy, but I didn't have much hope. I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable. ”

Ling Li didn't expect him to apologize at all, his back stiffened, and he only subconsciously turned his head.

Xie Ke'er's expression did not show joy or anger, only a pair of eyes were surprisingly bright.

"I have experienced the lingering of love and can't return, but it is not deep, and I think I can give it up. It just looks like your situation is more serious, and honestly, when you saw me, did you keep thinking about other people in your head? For example, the one who showed up in your room one day and scolded me? ”

His voice was indifferent, but the content made Ling Li unable to escape. She didn't know how to answer, and the defense line in her head collapsed instantly, and with it, the appearance of the person who couldn't hold it down floated with it.

"How do you know?" She subconsciously replied, and when she was finished, she realized that she seemed to have lost her words again under his seemingly inadvertent inducement.

Xie Keer suddenly smiled, his expression looking shallow and casual. After that, he raised his eyebrows and feigned anger: "I can't see through you like this, so what company else do I open?" Sooner or later, there is no residue left after being eaten. ”

Ling Li could see it very clearly, although he said this, there was no anger in his eyes, and there was no mocking smile on his lips.

She was a little relieved, but she didn't know how to explain it, or how to fix the mistakes she had made.

Xie Keer continued: "You should look at your own eyes, like you have a small hand, pushing people out, no matter what I say or do, you are deeply guarded, to be honest, I have been waiting for you to reject me with the answer that you already have a boyfriend, the day before yesterday it was purely out of curiosity that Qian Yang came to spy on your life, and as a result, you are still single." I don't understand, if you can't let him go, why don't you stay with him? ”

Ling Li looked up in shock, only to realize that Xie Keer seemed to know a lot more than she had imagined.

The devil sent the gods, and she actually wanted to talk about it.

Unable to hold back for a moment, she replied, "He's getting married." ”

Surprise flashed in Xie Ke's eyes, and he said in surprise: "How come? ”

Ling Li didn't turn her head away, and forced the corners of her mouth to smile: "That's it." ”

Xie Ke'er's expression became complicated, and after a while, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "I see." That's why, did you agree to this date with me? ”

Ling Li was dumbfounded, didn't dare to answer another word, and fled in a hurry.
