Chapter 39: The Heartstrings
Li Yu's face was shocked, and his eyes opened into two copper bells.
Zhao Xuan said in disgust: "Your reflex arc is really long. β
It took him a long time to come to his senses and joked, "I have to offer your old man in the future." β
He remembered the TV series he had watched before, and the children of ordinary big people seemed to have bodyguards around them, so he hurriedly looked left and right, looking for any suspicious people everywhere.
"What are you looking at?" she asked.
"I wondered if there would be a dozen bodyguards scattered around us at this moment, and if they found out that I had any bad intentions, they would rush up and beat me up. Li Yu pretended to be vigilant.
However, Zhao Xuan found another important point.
"Tell me, what bad intentions do you have in mind?" she glared at him, "how can it be as exaggerated as you think, the family said that they would arrange bodyguards for me, but I refused." β
"Aren't you worried that someone will take the risk of kidnapping for money?"
"They don't dare. Zhao Xuan said calmly.
Li Yu looked at the confident look on her face, it was obvious that Pfizer's iron-blooded approach to similar problems over the years had made people dare not take risks.
"Why don't you go to dinner, what do you want to eat?" Li Yu diverted the topic.
He looked at his watch and saw that it was already 12 noon.
"I know there is a Sichuan restaurant that is very delicious. He proposed.
"Okay. β
Zhao Xuan stroked the long hair under his hat with his hand, turned his gaze to him, and said with some surprise: "Didn't you say that you haven't been here, how do you know about this Sichuan restaurant?"
Li Yu shook his phone, a little proud: "You checked it casually when you spoke before." β
"So do you listen to what I say?" she got angry.
Li Yu realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and hurriedly explained: "Absolutely not! I remember every word you say, otherwise I will check it casually, if I remember a wrong word, it will be my problem, I will give a paragraph to ...... first."
"Li!" The girl's face flushed, but by no means because she was happy. "Shut up for me!"
The voice was sharp, attracting sideways glances from passers-by.
"I'm sorry," Li Yu suddenly felt like a fool. "I'll shut up right away. β
He had no choice but to remain silent.
I saw Zhao Xuan angrily pour himself a cup of tea, and accidentally spilled most of the tea on the ground.
Li Yu habitually took out the paper and prepared to wipe off the water stains on the table, but after thinking about it, he felt that it didn't seem appropriate at this time, and the hand he had just raised was frozen in mid-air, not knowing whether to put it down or take it back.
Zhao Xuan saw him behaving like this, and wanted to show him his face, but he couldn't help laughing.
She smiled angrily and fun: "Give me the paper!" Then she reached out and snatched the paper from Li Yu's hand, and carefully wiped the tea poured on the table.
"Let's go," Zhao Xuan threw the wet tissue into the wastebasket next to him, stood up, and said "viciously": "Go eat!"
Li Yu only felt faint sweat on his forehead, thinking to himself, is it so hard to chat with girls?
He hurriedly walked in front to lead the way, this time he didn't dare to take out his mobile phone to navigate, and deliberately kept an eye on the specific route in advance.
Ten meters away, someone was paying close attention to the backs of the two leaving.
"Are you sure you're right?"
"I just passed by that kid, the spiritual energy fluctuations on his body are exactly the same as what the altar master said before, he is definitely the [Psychic Spirit] we are looking for!"
"Without further ado, let's quickly notify the 'contact person' and let someone over there send someone over there to round up. β
"Are you stupid, these two little kids, one doesn't even have the realm of martial arts, and the other is not even as good as ordinary people, the two of us do it ourselves, the benefits are ours, why let those guys who sit and wait for death to take credit out of thin air?"
"That's right, without further ado, you go with me first, I'll go to explore the terrain, plan an escape route, and when the time comes, do it immediately!"
......
Li Yu took Zhao Xuan all the way, walked for more than ten minutes, and finally found the so-called delicious Sichuan restaurant.
On the humble faΓ§ade, there is only one red cardboard with three big black characters written on it: "Sichuan Restaurant", and the Spring Festival couplets pasted during the Chinese New Year are still preserved on both sides.
The space is spacious and clean, most of the seats are full, and the waiters carry plates on both sides of the aisle, and you can hear the noise from time to time.
Li Yu stood at the door, looking embarrassed.
He didn't expect that the store that ranked so high on "xx reviews" would look so bad.
Although years of social experience told him that the owner who dared to open a store with this faΓ§ade either had real skills or was a fool.
Apparently "it" belongs to the former.
But the problem is that Zhao Xuan, a "young lady", should have never been to this kind of place.
"Or ...... Let's change another one?" Li Yu was a little lacking in confidence.
But she looked at the crowded crowd in the store curiously, and said, "Everyone is very happy to eat, it should taste good, let's eat here." β
"I'm just worried that you don't like too many people. β
"It's okay, I'm not as delicate as you think. β
Li Yu saw that the expression on her face did not seem to be fake, so he relieved himself and rushed to the front with a few bags containing clothes to "open the way".
The two of them finally squeezed in, and they were lucky enough to grab a small table.
Li Yu flipped through the menu, confirmed that it was no different from his previous memory, and ordered a few dishes that impressed him the most.
Eat rabbit meat cold.
Boiled beef.
Steamed river balls.
He originally wanted to order two more, but was stopped by Zhao Xuan on the grounds that "you can't waste food".
"What are your plans for the future?" Zhao Xuan suddenly asked, "Wouldn't you still want to be the first in the ring?"
Li Yu nodded, scalded the two pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table with hot water, and said, "No way, it's okay if this task is not completed, otherwise I don't know how Teacher He will toss me." β
"Listen to your tone as if someone else is abusing you. β
She set up the dishes and chopsticks, and took the cup of hot water handed over by Li Yu: "If it weren't for the fact that the energy principle class is too difficult, otherwise I don't know how many students would want to be the closed disciples of Teacher He Jinglong." β
Li Yu leaned back in his chair and said, "Teacher He is amazing, but he is a little ......."
He lowered his voice.
"Psychopath. β
Zhao Xuan's expression was stunned, and his mouth opened slightly: "You won't, you won't be harmed, right?"
"What are you thinking about?" This time it was Li Yu's turn to refute.
"What I mean is that Teacher He oppresses underage cultivators and likes to come up with some difficult and perverted tasks. β
Zhao Xuan's face suddenly turned red, and he defended: "I'm not thinking about it, it's because you're thinking too much!"
Li Yu looked at her cute appearance, as if her heartstrings were quietly tugged, and a burst of joy rose in her heart for no reason.
The speed of serving food in the store was relatively fast, and it didn't take long for the waiter to come over with a plate of cold rabbit meat.
The plate was served on the table, and Li Yu was just about to pick up the chopsticks, and his heart throbbed for no reason.
