Lan Sui was very wary of the man beside him.

Very vigilant.

Because, he can actually come to his side silently. If he hadn't taken the initiative to speak, Lan Sui might not have been able to detect his arrival.

Of course, the reason for being wary of him is not only that, but more importantly - he is squinting.

Squinting men are monsters.

This is not only true in anime, but also in life.

Maybe it's because the eye with only one stitch makes it difficult to observe, and I don't know what this person is thinking in his heart. That's why I feel this way.

Of course, it is necessary to rule out a point, because the face is fat and squeezed into squinting eyes by the flesh does not count.

The man next to Lan Sui was naturally not in this situation. His face was slender, with little flesh on the sides of his cheeks. With this kind of face, but with a pair of squinting eyes, his face that could have been called handsome has become a little strange ordinary.

"Two little friends, can you let the old man also serve at the table?"

"Planting flowers?"

Lan Sui looked at the "young man" beside him with some surprise.

"In our time, we were proud to speak the language of planting flowers and using the words of planting flowers."

"That's really fate."

Smiling, Lan Sui's chopsticks pointed at Kurosaki Ikuko and said, "It's a pity that it's not me who can make the decision, but this eldest lady." She provided the dishes and materials. ”

"Come, uncle will give it to you, let's eat together!" Before the man could speak, Yuzi had already handed over the dishes and chopsticks, and at the same time took out several portions of raw meat and put them on the table.

"Oh, then you're welcome."

The man looked happy and began to teppanyaki with chopsticks. Yuko didn't eat it for the time being, but took out a wine glass and poured out a full glass of wine with the man.

"Please."

"Thank you."

After the man took it, he saluted Lan Sui and Yu Zi from afar, and poured the wine into his mouth.

"Good wine."

Then blow the fried beef on the iron plate and put it in your mouth. The squinted eyes seemed to become more and more elongated, gradually turning into a crescent moon on the horizon.

"Good meat."

His words were simple, even the smile on his face was very simple. Even if you are eating teppanyaki and liquor with a strong smell of fireworks, it gives people a sense of elegance. It seems that it is not eating inappropriate barbecue in the conference room, but in the middle of the moon under the corridor, tasting wine and expressing feelings.

"If it's good wine and good meat, then eat more and drink more."

Lan Sui smiled and filled him with wine again, and at the same time poured Kurosaki Ikuko's cup and his own glass, and invited the glass to drink.

"That's for sure."

The man raised his glass in affirmation, and at the same time asked with a smile, "Can I ask you a question?" ”

"Well, what?"

Lan Sui tilted his head, a little puzzled, as if he hadn't thought of answering questions before drinking.

However, he didn't have any extra thoughts, and replied casually: "Yes, just ask." ”

"Why drink wine and eat meat on such occasions?" The man's slender fingers drew a circle, signaling to the cultivators around him who had been paying attention to their table.

"Do you want to be noticeable, show your difference, or ......?"

The arc of his smile became more and more exaggerated, and he leaned in front of Lan Sui and continued in a low voice: "Don't take them in your eyes? ”

"Choking~"

In the man's astonishment, Lan Sui already raised his glass and lightly touched the wine glass in his hand. In his slightly surprised gaze, Lan Sui took the wine into his mouth.

The look of admiration lingered for a long time, and only after half a ring did he open his eyes, looked at the man and said, "I just suddenly want to eat barbecue and liquor, and it just so happens that there are people around me who can do this."

So – why not? ”

I don't know if it was surprised by Lan Sui's actions, or surprised by his words, so the man was silent for a while, and then put the cup that had been raised for a long time close to his lips, and then raised his glass, tasted the wine, and entered his throat.

The eyes slowly opened, and the light gray eyes were bright and clear. It is like the pure water of the sun-lit lake in the forest.

"Wonderful people."

"Thank you."

Watching the conversation between the two men from the side, Ikuko Kurosaki smiled meaninglessly at the corner of her mouth, and her slender fingers held the wine glass to her lips and slowly lit it.

The smile in her eyes was even worse.

The banquet seemed to have lasted for a long time, and it seemed like it was just a moment.

By the time Lan Sui's wine dissipated slightly, the man who was still drinking just now had disappeared.

"Let's have some tea." Warm tea is handed to hand.

"Thank you."

Lan Sui drank the tea three times.

Feeling the bitter and sweet taste in his mouth and the warmth in his stomach made him very comfortable.

It's a pity that after this cup, the woman doesn't seem to want to pass the second cup. Let Lan Sui only ask with a scowl in his face:

"You big red robe, can you ......?"

"I can't."

Before Lan Sui could finish speaking, there were words of rejection.

Let Lan Sui only fall on the seat weakly and not want to move. Although he is not a very professional tea taster, he always wants to drink more when he meets good tea.

As a result, before the words were finished, they were rejected.

"By the way, why hasn't this meeting been finished yet?" Lan Sui came back to his senses and looked at the people around him who were still sitting silently, with a hint of incomprehension in his eyes.

Ikuko packed up the tea sets one by one and put them into an unknowable space. Listening to Lan Sui's question, Yan Ran smiled and replied, "It should be said that it hasn't started yet." ”

"It's not started yet, but we've been eating for a long time......"

"Don't pretend to be confused." Yuzi interrupted Lan Sui by interjecting again.

"Your Taoism has two veins, one is Zhuangzi's leisure, and the other is Laozi's inaction. It may seem like very different, but in fact they are two completely different paths.

When I first met you, I thought you were a villager, but now I don't think so. ”

Hearing this, Lan Sui couldn't help but feel a little flushed on his face, and turned his head unnaturally. I felt embarrassed to face Yuzi's face, and at the same time felt that I was really not enough to practice, and I would be seen through by Yuzi, and I still felt ashamed after exposing it.

I don't practice enough, I don't practice enough~

Just as Lan Sui was so emotional, the side door of the conference room opened.

A group of seven people walked out.

The man in the Hawaiian shirt walked in the front, followed by two men and a woman, followed by an acquaintance, and two middle-aged and elderly men followed a few steps behind.

The appearance of the man in the Hawaiian shirt, or the man with squinting eyes, and walking in the front, did not make Lan Sui feel anything strange. And there is one of the leaders of Dongying who can often be seen on TV. The appearance of Tsuchiya Yuito made Lan Sui even more tired of watching it.

But!

One of the seven people in this group, after Lan Sui repeatedly confirmed that he didn't recognize the wrong person, his surprise almost didn't make him jump up.

"Tachibana Michiyuki?!"
