Located on the 33rd floor of London's "The Shard" on the "top of Europe", Hutong Restaurant overlooks the River Thames, offering guests modern Chinese delicacies such as pickled pepper shrimp, cuttlefish, Yangtze chicken with lettuce, green beans, king oyster mushrooms and more.

The interior decoration of the restaurant is very elegant, with antique screens, finely carved windows and porches, and strings of flaming red lanterns, which make people wonder if they are in a courtyard house in Beijing or the Qiao family mansion in Shanxi.

When Jane saw Daisy walking into the restaurant with Ling Xiao in her arms, she stood up politely, shook hands with Ling Xiao who walked to her, and said, "Ling, I haven't seen you for a long time, although I don't know how you used to be, but I think you will have a good time in London these days." ”

As she spoke, Jane glanced at Daisy with a smile, but Daisy quietly grimaced in response to her teasing.

"Hehe, Jane, you look good, too." Ling Xiao smiled lightly and said, "It seems that what Daisy said to me was a bit exaggerated!" ”

"Oh, what did she tell you?" Jane's cold eyes immediately fell on Daisy, and she knew that she would never say anything good about herself, and even if she told the truth, it might not sound so good, after all, her own state some time ago, only she knew best in her heart.

"Alright, alright, sit down and order, I'm going to starve!" Daisy hurriedly interrupted the conversation between the two of them, and if she continued, after Ling Xiao left, Jane had to clean her up.

"Humph!" Jane snorted softly, sat down, and said, "Daisy, dear, you won't have eaten a meal since last night, have you?" ”

"I've eaten it." In Daisy's straightforward tone, it was an indescribable weakness in her eyes, and Ling Xiao covered her eyes and couldn't bear to look at it directly, my dear, you shouldn't answer this question like this!

"Huh!" Jane chuckled and looked Daisy up and down before she said, "I think you're full." ”

It was so filthy that Ling Xiao couldn't listen to it anymore, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Jane, I heard Daisy say that your experiment is in trouble. ”

"It's normal for experiments to run into difficulties." Jian shrugged her shoulders slightly, and said with a nonchalant expression: "But most of the dilemmas are temporary, and you can naturally find a solution if you spend some time." Time is science's worst enemy, but it is also its best partner. ”

Look, this is the difference, no wonder people are already doctoral supervisors, you are still studying for a master's degree, Ling Xiao's meaning was accurately revealed to Daisy through her eyes, Daisy glanced at Ling Xiao angrily, threw the menu in front of Ling Xiao, and said, "Don't hurry up and order." ”

Ling Xiao shook his head, picked up the menu and looked at it, after all, this is a Chinese restaurant, and only he knows the taste of the dishes best, asked Jane and Daisy's taste habits, Ling Xiao ordered a sweet and sour tenderloin, a cashew shrimp, an abalone and radish salad, a fried clams in Chinese rose wine, a cod fried soybeans, plus the must-order Peking duck here, plus a dessert, it is considered to have made up the menu.

At this time, Jane suddenly asked, "Ling, I heard that you also participated in the First World War in New York, can you tell you about the specific situation?" ”

Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow, and immediately realized that what Jane wanted to know was not the details of the Battle of New York, but Thor's performance in that battle.

Seeing that Jane seemed to care nothing, but asked about Thor's appearance, Ling Xiao made people feel amused. But he still picked up something to say and talked to Jane and Daisy, and in the process, the two women were surprised to hear it, and from time to time let out a low exclamation, but strangely, the other table not far away seemed to hear nothing.

The dishes went up quickly, for the deliciousness of Chinese food, Jane and Daisy had heard about it for a day or two, not to mention that they had also tasted the food cooked by Ling Xiao himself, and when they came to the top Chinese restaurant at this time, it was natural that chopsticks were flying, knives and forks were dancing.

Just when everyone was chatting and laughing, there was a slight "Didi" sound in Daisy's bag, she raised her eyebrows, and then she took the handbag a little suddenly, took out something similar to a handheld game console inside, and fiddled with it twice without stopping.

She hurriedly stuffed the instrument into Jane's hand, and at the same time quickly shook the pot and said, "Do you remember those instruments that you left aside and never looked at again?" If you look at this, it's been ringing since the day before yesterday, and don't forget, that's why we've come all the way to London. ”

Obviously, Daisy came to London with Jane, not only because it was easier to pursue a master's degree, but also because there was something else in it.

"It's broken!" Jane picked up the handheld game console-like thing and tapped it twice on the table, and the sound didn't stop.

"I thought so, too." Daisy nodded vigorously and said, "I did the same as you, but I thought you would have a more scientific way, but I didn't expect ......"

For Daisy's daily verbal blows, Jane glanced at her angrily, and then quickly threw the instrument back to her, let her put it back in her bag, and said, "It should be fine, I'll fix it when I get back." ”

"It doesn't look like it's okay!" Daisy put the instrument back in her bag, her voice immediately became much quieter, she glanced at Ling Xiao, and then continued: "The readings above seem to be those that Eric often mentions, I think ......"

"Daisy, honey, we're eating, are these things back in the lab and saying okay?" Jane looked at Daisy helplessly, she didn't understand how this girl who didn't understand the world at all lived to this day.

"Ling, do you have any opinions?" Daisy immediately turned her head to look at Ling Xiao, who quickly shook her head and said, "I think when it comes to science, you are even more attractive, dear." ”

"Sycophants!" Jane looked at Ling Xiao and Daisy's greasy and crooked appearance, and couldn't help but take a sip secretly, and then reminded: "Ling He has no opinion, it doesn't mean that others don't have an opinion, forget it, anyway, we've eaten almost enough, let's leave first." ”

"Okay!" Daisy smiled and nodded, neither of them had the slightest intention of asking Ling Xiao what he meant.

This meal, nominally, Daisy and Jane took over the wind for Ling Xiao, but when it came time to pay the bill, the two girls had no intention of paying for it. Of course, Ling Xiao would not be so unsightly, he had already thrown a card to the waiter on the side, and after settling the bill, he left the restaurant directly.

Take the exclusive elevator from the Hutong restaurant above the sky back to the ground in just 10 seconds. Stepping out of the elevator and leaving the building, I was already on the banks of the River Thames, and the murky water brought a little news to my face.

Hey, why did you see the clean and clear Thames River on the top of the building before, but once you get downstairs, all the good memories disappear.

Ling Xiao, who didn't know why, didn't have time to ask questions, so he followed Daisy and Jane into a small off-road vehicle parked on the side of the road.

"I hate you!" As soon as she sat in the passenger seat, Jane suddenly said this, she had completely figured it out at the moment, the scene where she took out the instrument just now was obviously designed by Daisy before, now look at Daisy sitting in the driver's seat, no wonder in the restaurant just now, Daisy refused to drink a sip of wine, but Ling Xiao poured her several glasses in a row, and now Jane can't figure it out, it would be too stupid.

Ling Xiao has just come from the United States, and his driver's license has not been changed to an international driver's license, so he can't drive in the UK, and Jane is also not allowed to drive because she has drunk a few drinks, in case she is found to be drunk driving, then she will be in trouble, so now only Daisy can drive.

Jane may not be in a hurry, but Daisy can't help but be in a hurry, the current progress of the experiment is related to whether she can succeed in her master's degree, so it is rare to get Jane out of the house today, and naturally have to solve the corresponding problems.

Daisy smiled, stepped on the accelerator, and the car immediately rushed forward, while Ling Xiao was sitting in the back seat, constantly holding the instrument in his hand, pointing the direction to Daisy, and the car quickly drove towards the position with the most violent reaction on the instrument, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
