Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Squad Dinner
Everyone went out of the video game city, before going out, Sun Baiyuan and the other three put their hands on Chen Xi's back, and after going out, the four of them had already arrived at the old alley in Jianghai City, Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh that the system of any door in the video game city was too convenient.
Everyone walked out of the alley, came to the street, took a car and went straight to the riverside restaurant. In the taxi, Chen Xi had already called Boss Jiang of the small restaurant and booked the best private room in the small restaurant.
In less than twenty minutes, everyone arrived at their destination, Boss Jiang happened to be at the counter, and when he saw Chen Xi leading everyone into the door, he immediately stepped forward with a smile to greet him: "Xiao Chen, these are all your friends?" Welcome! ”
Chen Xi said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, these are my colleagues, this business trip also arrived in Jianghai, it happens to be Chinese New Year's Eve, I invite everyone to have a meal." ”
Sun Baiyuan also nodded and smiled: "Boss Jiang, we have listened to Chen Xinian several times in your restaurant, and this time we finally have the opportunity to come and taste the food." ”
"Haha, okay, hurry up and please, please!" Boss Jiang raised his hand and let everyone into the private room on the second floor.
The riverside restaurant is not a big place, there are only five private rooms in total, the largest and best of which is the second floor, the room is very elegantly furnished, through the floor-to-ceiling large glass windows can overlook the rolling river, as well as the neon night view of the city, which is very refreshing.
After everyone sat down, the waiter first brought a plate of melon seeds, a plate of fruits, and a pot of fragrant tea. Everyone drank tea and chatted about melon seeds, and soon Xiao Yu also appeared at the door of the private room wearing a white dress.
"Hee-hee, I'm not late, am I?" She walked in with a white Chanel bag, black hair like a waterfall, white clothes better than snow, really like a fairy descending to earth. The most important thing is that this time she didn't wear a mask, so she showed her true face in front of everyone.
"Ahh You, you ......" Xiao Tian opened his mouth wide and stammered, and he didn't know that the half of the watermelon that he was biting into his mouth fell on his pants.
Sun Baiyuan and Tank were also surprised, and even Chen Xi, who had seen Xiao Yu's true face more than once, was also stunned at this moment, and couldn't help himself.
Xiao Yu's obviously went home and dressed up carefully, her long cloud-like hair still had the fragrance of shampoo, and the light makeup added to the beauty, she sat down next to Chen Xi with a light smile, and asked in a playful voice: "What's the matter, you didn't know me after just a few hours of separation?" ”
"Ahh It's really Sister Phoenix, you are so beautiful, much more beautiful than I imagined. Xiao Tian said stunned.
Xiao Yuyan smiled, picked up a piece of watermelon and stuffed it into Xiaotian's mouth, and said, "Stinky Xiaotian knows how to coax people, there is no truth," she looked at Sun Baiyuan and Tank, and said, "White Ape, Tank, Xiaotian...... And Chen Xi, I'm sorry, I used to wear a mask all the time for personal reasons, and I didn't tell you my name. Now, taking advantage of the dinner for our team, I think it's time to take off my mask and tell everyone my name. My name is Xiao Yu, Xiao Se's Xiao, Qiu Yu's rain, from now on, everyone will call me Phoenix, or call me Xiao Yu. ”
Xiaotian grinned and said, "Great, Sister Phoenix, I'll still call you Sister Phoenix in the future!" ”
The tank also smiled and nodded at Xiao Yu.
Sun Baiyuan also smiled: "Phoenix, congratulations on opening your heart knot, in fact, no matter your real name or real appearance, you are our teammate, a teammate who shares life and death, and this will never change." I've been wondering when you'll be able to open your heart, but I didn't expect to be blessed with this year-end dinner. Saying that, Sun Baiyuan glanced at Chen Xi, and there seemed to be deep meaning in his eyes.
Chen Xi was a little weak-hearted, and felt that Sun Baiyuan seemed to have seen something. At this time, Brother Jiang came with two waiters to serve the food, which resolved his embarrassment.
"Miss Xiao, you're here too, oops, I've never been such a beautiful woman in my small shop, just now there were two old customers who secretly asked me if you were a star in the entertainment industry," Boss Jiang saw Xiao Yu for the second time, laughing and laughing, while directing the waiter to put the dazzling dishes on the table one by one.
The first to be put on the table are six cold dishes, but they are Jiangnan crispy fish, sweet and sour short ribs, blueberry yam, cold salad three silks, a product of beef, and colorful seasonal vegetable rolls. Then put on two bottles of gold-labeled Jianghai special songs, as well as freshly squeezed juice for Xiao Yu and Xiao Tiandian.
Everyone sat down immediately, everyone poured wine or drinks, Xiao Tian also shouted for a glass of liquor, and was slapped back by Xiao Yu, so he had to pick up a glass of juice pitifully.
Sun Baiyuan took the lead in raising his glass and said: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, after tonight is the beginning of the new year, may we get better and better in the new year, everything is good, everything will come true!" ”
The crowd applauded, clinked glasses together, and drank it all. Then he began to eat and drink. After playing a game for an afternoon, everyone was also a little hungry at this time, but as soon as they moved their chopsticks, it was unexpectedly delicious, only to feel that a few cold dishes in the small restaurant were distinctive, and the taste was wonderful, and everyone praised it.
After a while, hot dishes were also served, including the signature dishes of the small restaurant, a pot of rivers and seas, a meeting of fishing wood, and the secret lamb chops and steamed osmanthus fish that Chen Xi and Xiao Yu had eaten last time; There are cherry ducks, eight-treasure tofu soup, and Huadiao eel paste recommended by Brother Jiang. Finally, two waiters brought up a large silver basin about the size of half a table, which was neatly stacked with more than a dozen kinds of seafood, such as shrimp, crabs, scallops, mussels, razor clams, and clams. Boss Jiang personally plugged in the power supply at the bottom of the silver basin, and the water in the lower layer of the basin slowly evaporated, steaming this pot of seafood, which was fragrant and appetizing.
"This is a newly developed dish from the shop, called Ryugu Sea Patrol. The seafood has been processed, steamed with steam to bring out the flavor of the seafood, and then served with the ingredients prepared by our restaurant. ”
The crowd was intrigued by what he said, and immediately set to motion. Chen Xi and Xiao Yu looked at each other and smiled, Chen Xi said secretly, Brother Jiang, you can really drag it, the two of us will eat eight seafood and have eight fresh steamed seas, and now that there are more people, you will upgrade to a Dragon Palace to patrol the sea.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone talked about Chen Xi's fight to the last level of the God of Fighting, Xiao Yu's eyes immediately widened when he heard it, and he exclaimed: "What? Chen Xi hit the big snake pass! Isn't that a passing of that level? ”
"Which level did you pass...... Chen Xi couldn't help but be stunned, but saw Xiao Yu's face flushed, and he was shy, and kicked Chen Xi under the table. Chen Xi was in pain, and he didn't know what was going on, he looked at Xiao Yu innocently, but he didn't dare to say anything.
"Poof", Xiao Tian already laughed out loud and said, "Where else is it, what Sister Phoenix said must be the fox spirit level." ”
Xiao Yu complained with a hint of anger: "You are the white ape, Chen Xi has just reached the bronze high level, you let him play the god of fighting, the sixth level is so messy, it doesn't matter if you can't get by, but the mind of the rookie gamer is unstable, what if Chen Xi is confused and learns badly?" ”
When Chen Xi heard this, his face immediately turned dark, and he said in his heart: Grandma, I'm not a child, and I've never seen a few island country films, as for it? How embarrassed I am when you say that!
Sun Baiyuan was also puzzled when he heard it, and said in his heart: Every gamer comes over like this, what do you let me do?
At this time, Xiao Tian also shouted: "Sister Phoenix, you are too partial, Brother Chen is such an adult, it is nothing to pass the sixth level, why don't you care about me, a fifteen-year-old good boy of the motherland, is polluted." ”
Xiao Yu was helpless when he was stirred by this child, and he also knew that he was worried about it just now, so he picked up a peeled prawn and stuffed it into Xiaotian's mouth, covering up and said: "I can't stop your mouth if I eat it." ”
When she lost her temper, Chen Xi suddenly remembered another question: "Hey, by the way, we were tempted by the Muto demon when we played the sixth level, what about the female ***, can they also be tempted by the banshee when they play the sixth level?" ”
When he said this, everyone present burst into laughter, only Xiao Yuqiao's face was even redder, and when others were laughing and not paying attention, she pinched Chen Xi's arm fiercely.
Sun Baiyuan laughed and coughed, and said: "Cough, Chen Xi, I just didn't take a good look at the text introduction at the beginning of the sixth level, and the introduction clearly wrote that Muto is a monogynous monster, if it is a female player who hits the sixth level, it is not the beautiful fox spirit Muto Demon Zi, but the fox demon beautiful man, called Muto Yousuke." ”
When Chen Xi heard this, he was embarrassed, this is too dirty. At the same time, he also realized that he had asked the wrong thing, and hurriedly turned his head to see that Xiao Yu's wonderful eyes seemed to be about to shoot out electric light.
"Eat quickly, everyone, don't get cold." Chen Xi hurriedly diverted the topic. Who knew what Xiao Yu suddenly thought, his face instantly softened, but he patted Chen Xi's shoulder with a smile and said, "So Chen Xi passed the sixth level for the first time?" Hehe, it means that you are not bad, you have not been fascinated by the female goblins. ”
Everyone was speechless for a moment, looking at Xiao Yu who was smiling together, and couldn't help but sigh at the same time, a woman's mind is really fickle......
Speaking of this, Chen Xi had questions again, and quietly asked Xiao Yu at the moment: "Xiao Yu, may I ask what is going on with Dao Xin?" ”
Xiao Yu glanced at Chen Xi in surprise, shook his head and said, "This is not the time to tell you, telling you now will only hurt you." ”
Chen Xi saw that she didn't say anything, so he had to give up helplessly. Soon he put the matter behind him and started to laugh with everyone.
The reunion lasted until late at night, and when the hour hand was about to point to zero, everyone shouted for a few seconds together: "10, 9, 8...... 3, 2, 1, Happy New Year! ”
The crowd cheered, like a group of children. These gamers who have been fighting in the video game city for many years are superpowers who must always hide their power in life, otherwise they will be obliterated.
They live under tremendous pressure, even in the face of relatives and friends, they have to hide themselves deeply, and only the teammates of the team are the ones who can rely on each other for life and death. Therefore, everyone was extremely happy, even Xiao Yu, who didn't like to drink, and Xiao Tian, who was forbidden to drink at the beginning, finally drank a glass by themselves.
With a glass of wine in her mouth, Xiao Yu's cheeks immediately floated with two scarlet clouds, and she added three points of beauty, she looked at Chen Xi with watery eyes, and said softly: "It's so good, if we can always be like this, everyone is together, happy and carefree...... I really wish that every year and every year were now in the dynasty. ”
Chen Xi looked at Xiao Yu's delicate and infinite face, and couldn't help but shake his heart, and blurted out: "It will definitely be, every year is now!" ”
The reunion didn't end until one o'clock, and Chen Xi, Sun Baiyuan, and Tank drank two bottles of liquor and twenty bottles of beer. But everyone is superhuman, so they are only slightly drunk.
But there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, the night is bitter and short, and there will be a farewell, although Chen Xi persuaded everyone to stay in Jianghai for one night, and he came to book a hotel, but Sun Baiyuan and others refused.
Chen Xi ran downstairs to check out, and found that the restaurant had already closed, and only Brother Jiang was left sitting and smoking at the counter, and he couldn't help but be very embarrassed, because the Jiangbin restaurant was closed at twelve o'clock, but Boss Jiang never urged everyone, just waiting here. Apologetically: "Brother Jiang, I'm sorry, we drank too late and forgot the time." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, hehe, Xiao Chen, your colleagues are not ordinary people." Boss Jiang said meaningfully.
After opening the store for more than ten years, he has read countless people, and he can open the extraordinary features of everyone at a glance.
"Hehe, these colleagues are ordinary people," Chen Xi scratched the back of his head and smiled, "Brother Jiang, I'll pay for how much." ”
Boss Jiang took a puff of cigarette and handed over the bill, Chen Xi took it and saw that it was only more than 800 yuan. Immediately, my heart warmed, this meal alone will cost this amount of wine, two bottles of liquor are more than 300 bottles, this price is still the selling price of the supermarket, not the price of the restaurant.
"Brother Jiang, you ...... I can't keep you losing money! Chen Xi was moved.
"It's nothing, you just joined the work, and when you need to build interpersonal relationships, brother, I can help you."
Chen Xi shook his head and said excitedly: "Brother Jiang, I know your kindness, but I can't let you suffer all the time, how can I still have the face to eat in the future, isn't this eating and drinking for nothing, you ...... This is not for me to come back in the future! As he spoke, he couldn't help but take out two thousand yuan and stuff it into Boss Jiang's hand, then turned around and left quickly.
Boss Jiang had no choice but to accept it, looked at Chen Xi's back, and sighed with emotion.
At this time, everyone also came downstairs, said goodbye to Boss Jiang, and walked out of the riverside restaurant together and into the thick night.
Xiao Tian is a child after all, and he is so sleepy that he can't open his eyes at this time, and he is asleep on Sun Baiyuan's back. Xiao Yu drove an Audi Q7, and when everyone drove to the video game city, Chen Xi was still worried about her drunk driving, but Xiao Yu glanced at her with disdain, only to see a layer of fiery red true qi suddenly flashing on her body, instantly turning the alcohol inside and out of her body into invisible.
"Learn something." She winked at Chen Xi coquettishly, and after a while, she arrived at the alley outside the video game city. The tank got out of the car with Xiaotian and Sun Baiyuan on his back, and before parting, everyone made an appointment to continue the attack on King Arthur on January 2, the day after tomorrow. I was reluctant to say goodbye.
The two watched Sun Baiyuan and them leave, and then glanced at each other
"I'll drive you back?" Xiao Yu said softly.
"Ah, I'll just go back by myself, you're tired all day, go back and rest early." Chen Xi excused himself, but he really wanted to stay with Xiao Yu for a while, the time with her was always so good, so Chen Xi didn't want to leave.
"Okay, I'll stop by anyway, let's go." Xiao Yu grabbed Chen Xi's hand, the two got into the car, Xiao Yu stepped on the accelerator, and drove back to Chen Xi's rented house.
The road was quiet in the middle of the night, the speed of the car was like flying, and after a while, he arrived at the downstairs of the house rented by Chen Xi, Chen Xi was reluctant in his heart, looked at Xiao Yu and said, "That...... I'm going back, you also rest early, good night! ”
"Your performance today is very good, it's not in vain, I kept watch all night to get you the skill card of Qinglong Martial Arts!"
Chen Xi laughed a few times: "Hehe, it's actually nothing, I think it's easy." ”
"Hehe, to put it lightly, the color appetite is also, the sixth level uses the most instinctive desires of human beings as a weapon, how many players have fallen on this level again and again. Hmph, it's hard to see the big snake if you don't get to silver, it's a summary of the blood and tears of many gamers," Xiao Yu waved his hand disapplausively, and continued, "It can be seen how good your performance is today, and it is worthy of my Xiao Yu's appreciation...... Keep up the good work, teammates. ”
Xiao Yu said that he obviously stumbled later, and his face was flushed, seeing Chen Xi looking at her with a strange expression, he said angrily: "Okay, if you don't get out of the car and go home to sleep, people have to hurry home to sleep and sleep beautifully, or you will be responsible for the skin getting worse." As she spoke, she threw Chen Xi down, and then slammed the car to flee as if she had to drive away.
Chen Xi looked at the shadow of the car in the distance, and his mind was full of Xiao Yu's smiling shadows, she was like a beautiful and mysterious elf, unconsciously haunting people, unable to help herself. Chen Xi looked at the empty street for a long time before slowly walking upstairs, and after washing up, he went to bed.
