Chapter 17: Reunion, Invitation to Coffee
Why is she here? Oh, and it's not that far from Hell's Kitchen.
Gao Ming was really shocked when he saw Sophia again, and then he realized that he was in Manhattan, and Sophia's Hell's Kitchen was also in Manhattan, so it was not impossible to meet him.
It's just that such a large area can still be encountered, it's too much of a coincidence, right? Could it be the arrangement of the Gate of the Stone of Destiny?
Gao Ming thought about it while pretending to be puzzled and said, "You recognize the wrong person, right?" ”
Seeing Gao Ming pretending to be stupid, Sophia smiled slightly, stretched out a hand, concealed the lower half of Gao Ming's face, and said confidently: "I just saw your face and felt a little familiar, although I only saw half of it last time, but the eyes are not deceiving, and ......"
Sophia winked mischievously and said, "I won't forget your voice." ”
Gao Ming was dumbfounded, he really forgot to shake his vocal cords to change his voice last time, and his voice is also a loophole that is easy to expose his identity, otherwise the old man would not deliberately lower his voice every time he goes out.
However, half of his face and voice alone are not conclusive evidence, Gao Ming can continue to deny it, but Sophia looked at him with blazing eyes, obviously believing in his guesses, and Gao Ming's current appearance was also seen by her, even if he denied it, he might be entangled.
Gao Ming raised his hands and said helplessly: "Okay, I admit defeat, I did save you last time." ”
Seeing Gao Ming admitting, Sophia said happily: "Sure enough, it's you, by the way, you said last time that you would tell me your name when we meet again." ”
Sophia looked at Gao Ming expectantly, Gao Ming smiled slightly wryly, and said, "Officially acquaintance, my name is Gao Ming." ”
After saying the words, Gao Ming felt a sense of relief, he didn't understand why this happened, maybe he could only be an invisible person during this time, doing good things in obscurity, but no one knew the reason, deep down he still hoped that someone would know his existence.
Gao Ming also knew that it was irrational to tell his real name to a girl who only had a one-sided relationship, but since he said it, then he should be foolish.
Stretching out his hand, Gao Ming smiled and said, "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, I'm glad to see you again, Sophia." ”
Sophia reached out and shook it, lowered her head slightly, and said with a smile: "I'm also very happy to meet you, Gao... Ming. ”
Hearing Sophia's awkward Chinese accent, Gao Ming almost didn't laugh, so he held back his smile and carefully looked at Sophia's appearance.
The last time was at night, the night was hazy, and I couldn't take a closer look after all, but now in broad daylight, Sophia's appearance can be seen at a glance.
Sophia wasn't as embarrassed as she had been during the previous robbery, her long dark brown hair neatly combed and supple over her shoulders. Her fair face no longer looked panicked, slightly flushed with excitement and joy, and with the weak temperament brought by her large-framed glasses, it made people feel a desire to kiss.
The upper body is a light yellow jacket, the zipper is pulled to the chest, you can see that you are wearing a white shirt with English letters inside, and a pair of dark blue jeans on the lower body, the overall combination is full of casual style.
Gao Ming looked at Sophia for only a few seconds, and when Sophia raised her head, Gao Ming had already retracted her gaze and looked at Sophia's face calmly.
Being watched by Gao Ming, Sophia was a little shy, and her nervous little hands grabbed the corners of her clothes. Seeing this, Gao Ming smiled slightly and said, "It's rare to meet so coincidentally, let's go have a cup of coffee together?" ”
No panic at all.
Just kidding, books aren't read for nothing. Gao Ming still had to look through the pile of books left by the doppelganger, a few of them are about understanding women's psychology, it seems that the doppelganger also had the idea of a sister.
After reading a little book and learning experience, Gao Ming has made some progress, and he will not be as helpless as he used to get along with girls.
Of course, I can't resist some female hooligans......
Hearing Gao Ming's invitation, Sophia was a little startled, seeing Gao Ming's very sunny smile, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she said in a weak mosquito voice: "Okay, good..."
The power of the horse charm and the cow charm imperceptibly improved Gao Ming's body, allowing him to develop towards the most perfect growth posture.
As we all know, everyone, except for congenital genetic defects, can grow and develop to the most ideal appearance, but because of various reasons such as insufficient nutrition and insufficient exercise during growth, it cannot be achieved, so many people are teased for being disabled.
Now because of the power of the horse charm, it has made up for the shortcomings of Gao Ming's growth period, and the cow charm has gradually strengthened Gao Ming's physique while giving infinite power, and now he is also evolving towards wearing clothes and looking thin, stripping and flesh.
Although the strengthening of Gao Ming's body by the spell has not yet ended, it is now showing its initial effect, and Gao Ming's appearance has obviously improved a lot compared to Sophia when she first saw her, so it makes her heart pound.
However, Gao Ming himself didn't notice it at all, and it was just a habitual behavior to get up every morning and happily say "handsome again" in the mirror......
took out his new mobile phone - that's right, he bought a new mobile phone, the original "antique machine" didn't even have the heart to collect the commemoration, and he didn't know where to throw it away, and now the one in his hand is "Pingguo 3G".
As for Sanxin? There is no smart phone yet, and after the lesson of blood, a fool will buy a Sanxin mobile phone again...... Unless you can blow it up again and let him wear it back, it's not that you can't think about it......
Gao Ming took out his mobile phone naturally not to show off, but just to check where there is a café nearby, operate in three or two, and soon lock a destination.
Putting the phone back in his pocket, Gao Ming smiled at Sophia and said, "Let's go, shall we?" ”
Sophia nodded.
Like a normal walk, Gao Ming and Sophia walked together, sometimes saying some interesting things, which made Sophia "giggle", and her nervous mood gradually relaxed, and the soft sunlight sprinkled on the two of them, pulling out two long shadows.
It didn't take long for the two to come to Gao Mingxuan's destination, a very famous coffee chain -
Starbucks!
Well, no skin, speaking Chinese, the translation is: Starbucks!
That's right, it's the Starbucks that often appears in American movies, Gao Ming has seen many movies with Starbucks shots, and I don't know if Starbucks has paid for these movie advertisements...... Although Starbucks has more or less chain stores all over the world, and it seems that there are many in the Huaxia area, Gao Ming has never had a chance to have a drink.
He doesn't know whether Starbucks' coffee is good or not, but many of the workplace elites and company executives in the movie will go to Starbucks to buy a cup of coffee after work, so Starbucks looks high-end and high-grade, and Gao Ming mainly came for this.
Invite the girl to drink coffee, of course, choose a more advanced one!
Gao Ming was also secretly observing how Sophia would react, and what was more strange and wondering was that Sophia was only slightly surprised, and then returned to normal, and was not too shocked.
In fact, Gao Ming was misled by the movie, although Starbucks is a world-renowned brand, Starbucks coffee is actually a civilian brand in the United States, and the price is not as high as in China, but the environment designed for the "white-collar class" makes Starbucks very high-end and high-end.
Gao Ming stepped forward to open the door of Starbucks, and politely signaled Sophia to go first, and after Sophia walked in, Gao Ming followed closely and entered the store.
The decoration of the Starbucks store is no different from that in the movie, with customers sitting at a small round table, picking up the coffee on the table and taking a sip on it, with a relaxed look on their faces.
With a leisurely afternoon, a comfortable sunshine, and a rich and fragrant coffee, Starbucks is such a comfortable and idle atmosphere.
Finding a seat and sitting down, a waiter in the store came over and politely handed over the coffee menu, and when Gao Ming flipped through the menu, he saw the price of 3 or 4 US dollars behind the rows of coffee, and suddenly realized.
On average, a cup of three or four US knives is exchanged for RMB, which is more than ten or twenty, as a well-known brand, it is actually not expensive.
Although it is still very expensive for Gao Ming, who only drinks milk tea for four or five yuan......
Gao Ming, who had only drunk hand-poured bird's nest coffee, looked at what cards, lattes, and cappuccinos were on the menu...... Confused, what is this? From the beginning to the end, he finally pretended to be indifferent and said: "A big cup of caramel macchiato, Sophia, what do you want a cup?" ”
Caramel macchiato, it should be sweet coffee, right? Gao Ming thought so.
Sophia glanced at the menu and whispered, "Then I want a cup of Americano, just a medium cup." ”
emmm…… It seems that Americano is the cheapest on the menu, is this girl trying to help me save money?
What a good girl......
Gao Ming asked kindly, "Do you want a strawberry cheesecake?" ”
Sophia hurriedly waved her hand and refused, "No, no, no, I... Recently in weight loss ......"
In the end, facing Gao Ming's stunned eyes, Sophia's voice became lower and lower.
Gao Ming is indeed quite puzzled, do girls like to use the excuse of "losing weight"? Sophia, your figure is very good, your waist is just right, do you still want to be as thin as your forearms? I see you swallow a little saliva!
Sophia really loves to eat, but like other girls, she needs to pay attention to keeping in shape, and she was still entangled in the vicinity of Chinatown today, if Gao Ming knew it, she would definitely feel sorry for her, and encouraged her not to suppress her foodie nature.
"Okay, don't shirk it, it's a rare coincidence, just let me invite you once, please add a strawberry cheesecake to her, I want a French chicken sandwich." Gao Ming returned the menu to the waiter on the side.
The waiter nodded slightly and smiled politely, "Okay, please wait." Then he turned and commanded to prepare.
Seeing that the waiter had already walked away, Sophia was not easy to refuse, but felt a little embarrassed and said, "Thank you." ”
"It's okay, you're welcome." Gao Ming shook his hand absently, and then said with interest: "By the way, let me tell you about what happened to me recently!" ”
Sophia also showed a little curiosity, and was not so reserved, and said, "Okay, I want to know more about you......"
Hmm, this sentence seems to be a bit ambiguous, Gao Ming decisively didn't care, so as not to embarrass the two of them again.
