Chapter 1 Invitation 4
At 21 o'clock in the evening, two long figures appeared at the door of Paul Bocuse's restaurant on time, one was young and beautiful, sweet and slightly green; The other is beautiful and dusty, with a hint of loneliness in the gentleness, and the two are Ava and Ji Min who came to the appointment.
However, there is something unexpected that the door of the restaurant is open, but there is a waiter standing at the door, and a sign stands next to the waiter, which reads: The restaurant is closed!
This sudden change surprised the two and couldn't help but look at each other.
"What's going on?" Ava asked Ji Min in a low voice.
Ji Min shook her head, of course she didn't know what was going on, if it was a misunderstanding or a prank, it was really a bit ridiculous.
"Since you're here, go ask about it!" Ji Min said softly.
After saying that, he walked straight up to the waiter and asked, "Excuse me, is the business over?" ”
"Yes, ma'am." The waiter replied.
"Can't eat?" Ji Min asked again.
"Yes, ma'am." The waiter replied.
Ji Min caught a glimpse of some guests in the restaurant who were dining, and pointed at them and asked, "What about them?" ”
"They'll leave when they're done, ma'am." The waiter replied.
Ji Min took out the white letter from his bag, handed it to the waiter, and asked, "Then, may I ask, what's going on?" ”
The waiter took the letter, opened it, then folded it, put it away, bent his left arm, bowed slightly, and said very gracefully and politely: "Hello, Ms. Ji Min, we are waiting for you, and your friend. ”
Things took a dramatic turn of 180 degrees, and Ji Min was even more surprised at this time, looking at the sign blocking the door, and secretly wondered in his heart: Could this "business close" be set up for me? Who is so generous?
The waiter saw Ji Min's expression, smiled slightly, and didn't explain, just nodded slightly, and immediately moved the sign to the side, got out of the way, and raised his hand to signal Ji Min to follow him in.
Ji Min and Ava followed the waiter, both a little apprehensive and full of curiosity, especially Ji Min, whose faces were a little nervous and pale, not knowing what they were thinking.
The waiter led the two to a table near the window in the dining room, and Ji Min was slightly stunned and thoughtful.
The waiter took the chairs out of the chairs for the ladies one by one, and said, "Please wait." ”
Then he turned and departed.
Erqing, holding a bottle of wine in his hand, came politely, and said: "This is an aperitif, please use it slowly." ”
Then, he took out a menu and handed it to Ji Min, and said, "Ms. Ji Min, this is the menu we have selected for you, please take a look." ”
Ji Min took the menu and swept it, his expression was stunned again, and after reading it carefully, he immediately returned it to the waiter and said softly: "Yes." ”
The waiter turned to Ava again, handed the menu to Ava, and asked, "This lady, are you the same?" ”
Ava took the menu, and when he looked closely, it was all rare dishes, so he was naturally overjoyed and said, "Okay." ”
"Wait a minute."
With that, the waiter bowed back.
After a while, he came with a bottle of red wine in his hand and said, "This is the 92-year-old Lafite, do you need to pour it for the two of you now?" ”
After asking for permission, he slowly poured the wine into the glass and said, "Excuse me, can I serve it now?" ”
Ji Min replied: "Okay." ”
The waiter put the wine on the table and was about to leave, when Ji Min suddenly asked, "Is it just the two of us?" ”
The waiter replied, "Yes, ma'am, there are only two people on the reservation card, do you have any other friends?" ”
Ji Min was slightly stunned.
The waiter waited for a long time, and when he saw no response, he had to smile slightly, bow slightly, and turn to leave.
After the waiter left, Ava poked his head over and whispered mysteriously, "This meal is worth a lot of money, shouldn't there really be no one to pay for it?" ”
Ji Min was silent and seemed to be lost in thought.
Ava saw that Ji Min didn't speak, so he looked left and right, and at this time, the guests had gradually left, and there were few left.
After a short time, the waiter presents the appetizer and introduces the dish in detail.
Ji Min didn't hear it, and he didn't move.
Waiting for the waiter to retreat, Ava quietly stretched out her leg to touch Ji Min and asked, "Hey, what's your situation?" Why can't you give up? ”
Ji Min came back to his senses and knew that he was out of shape, so he raised his wine glass, shook it gently, and then stretched it out.
"Here, cheers."
Although Ava felt something unusual, she still handed the goblet out as she said, and the wall of the cup touched lightly, making a crisp crashing sound, which was not loud, but lingered in this unusually quiet environment.
"Let's go!" Ji Min said to Ava.
After speaking, he took a deep breath, picked up the knife and fork, and ate it by himself.
Ava glanced at Ji Min, who was sitting opposite, and looked around, always feeling weird, but he couldn't say it, so he had to pick up the knife and fork as well.
"Huh? Great! This foie gras is simply amazing! Upon a taste, Ava was immediately overwhelmed.
And Ji Min didn't say a word, just ate silently, the waiter served one, she ate one, and the waiter occasionally asked during the banquet, Ji Min basically responded with silence. Even Ava worriedly asked her what was wrong, but Ji Min only answered the question with "um", "good", and "nothing". In the end, the two of them were the only ones left in the entire restaurant, and it was so quiet that the sound of burning candles could be heard all around.
Ava had already concluded at this time that Ji Min must have something on her mind, but in view of her current state, Ava was not good at asking again and again, so Ava didn't know what to do, so she could only talk there alone, and kept praising each dish and talking to herself, so as to alleviate this embarrassing atmosphere.
Time is slowly spent in this strange atmosphere, finally, the main course is all served, followed by dessert, there is actually a dessert before the dessert, at this time, I saw the waiter present a carefully arranged heart-shaped chocolate sauce, the heart-shaped chocolate sauce is also ingeniously inserted into a white chocolate finely carved arrow, although the delicate is a bit excessive, but a light taste, the taste is incomparable.
The main light of the restaurant has been extinguished at any time, but the candlestick on the table is still flickering alone with a faint yellow and warm light, in the soft light and shadow, Ava is marveling at such wonderful food, suddenly looking up, but he suddenly saw that Ji Min's poignant face was already in tears.
Ava grabbed Ji Min's hand and asked eagerly, "What's wrong, dear?" ”
"I'm fine."
Ji Min wiped his tears lightly, and spit out two words, "It's him!" ”
"Who?" Ava blurted out.
However, as if he immediately thought of something, he exclaimed, "You mean him? ”
It's him, of course it's him! It can only be him! The same table, the same menu, the same "arrow of love", who else but him?
Ji Min's heart is like a tumbling wave, and her thoughts are like a flood that bursts the embankment, and in an instant, they all erupt at this moment, this heart-wrenching man who makes her love blood blend but hurts, this man who has disappeared for two years and now suddenly appears in such a way, where are you? Where are you! Where the hell are you?
She stood up abruptly and looked around, her eyes shining with a dazzling light, as if she had to find the guy who was watching her in a dark corner.
Suddenly, a crisp and melodious sound of strings burst through the air, and a blonde-haired player walked slowly towards them while playing a violin, followed by a waiter with a cart on which was a cake lit with candles.
The whole restaurant is filled with a light "birthday song", and the music is clear and moving, like a heavenly sound.
And this unexpected beautiful music seemed to temporarily interrupt Ji Min's excitement, cleaned up his mood, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his slender index finger, and sat down again.
When the music stopped abruptly, the blonde player had already walked to the table, a standard salute, a gentleman's bow, and said in stiff Chinese: "Dear Ms. Ji Min, I wish you a happy birthday!" ”
Ji Min replied politely: "Thank you." ”
After that, take 20 euros from the bag and give it to the player as a tip.
The player thanked him and stepped aside.
At this time, the waiter placed the cart on the table, turned slightly to one side, and stood aside, and Ava suddenly saw that another person flashed from behind the waiter, and when the visitor approached, Ava covered his mouth with his hand and exclaimed.
Ji Min naturally saw Ava's reaction, her shoulders trembled slightly, but she didn't dare to look back at all, because in her heart, she had already decided that it must be him! It's him who comes!
