Chapter 6: Leaving the Journey (12)
The inside of Yunhailou is more luxurious than the outside, with a pale red dining table, soft lighting, a romantic atmosphere, and a harmonious environment. Here and outside are two worlds entirely, this is the world of the rich.
Belle and I picked a table by the window and looked out the window at the night view of the city with brilliant lights. "Welcome, what do you two need?" A tall waiter asked.
Belle took the menu and ordered a few random things, the most important thing was to ask for two bottles of wine. The waiter nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, please wait." "Looks like I've made a lot of money!
"Today we don't get drunk and don't go home." Belle fiddled with the cutlery and said.
I looked at Jiali's serious expression and said, "Jiali, we are here today, and the dishes are also ordered." This time, you should tell me what a special day it is, right? ”
"It's not special to say special, it means a lot to me anyway. Today is my birthday. ”
"That's your fault, why didn't you say it earlier? You see, we came in such a hurry, I didn't even have any gifts! "I rummaged around, trying to find a gift for Zhao Jiali in front of me who helped me, cared about me, and seemed to have some likes for me.
"Oops, no need to flip it. If you want to make me happy today, just drink two more drinks with me. Do you know? Never have I ever gone out to eat with any guys. Haotian, you are the first. The first boy who made me willing to pay more money to come to this kind of place. ”
I have mixed feelings at the moment, and I don't know if I should be happy or sad. I raised my glass and said, "Beauty, I feel very honored to hear you say that." But today is your birthday, so let's not say anything emotional. Since I don't have any gifts, I would like to sincerely wish you a happy birthday! ”
"Thank you!" Drink it all in one go, and no half drop remains.
"Haotian, do you know why I never date boys?" Belle asks a question that I can't figure out.
I wanted to ask this question too, but I couldn't find a good opportunity. Today I happened to push the boat down the river and said, "Why? ”
"Because of my family." Belle spoke slowly.
"Your family?" I found it even more incomprehensible.
"Yes, my family. My mom is very kind. Very virtuous, I love my mom! But my beast father liked the new and hated the old, and almost drove my mother to a dead end several times, and in the end, my mother saw that there was no way to save it, but to agree to divorce and fulfill them. The court awarded me to my mother, and since then I have lived with her. When my mother saw that I was growing up every day, she told me not to trust men easily, because men are the most unconscionable things in the world. Listening to my mother's advice, I never looked for a boyfriend. One is that I am afraid that she will be sad, and the other is that I really haven't met the right one. Haotian, I like you, and the door of love in my heart is open for you. It was after saving people in the water that I saw the kindness of your heart and the spirit of sacrifice that others did not have. I've been in contact with you for so long, you're hardworking, energetic, and driven, and I like the way you look. ”
After listening to Jiali's words, I realized that there was actually suffering behind her. I really want to accept her, and her fighting spirit has been influencing me. But I already have Qiuyue, so I can't like other girls. I can't step on two boats with one foot, I have to be worthy of my vows, and I have to be worthy of my beloved Autumn Moon.
