Chapter 479: The Will of the World Begins to Grow
"Ming Fei, are you working hard alone abroad?" Chen Wenwen stopped the knife and fork in her hand.
"I'm fine." Lu Mingfei had a lot of things to say to Chen Wenwen, such as what happened between her and Zhao Menghua, or why she had to stick it with her face since she was abandoned, but when she met, she found that she had nothing to say for a long time.
He looked at the lamb chops on his plate, the food was tasteless, I heard that the meat here was raised by special people and transported by air, and the cost of this plate of meat would consume a year's income of ordinary people.
Fortunately, this meal was invited by Caesar, and I have to say that the ability to make money is really enviable, jealous and hateful, and he also wants to have it.
How could he not have discovered Chu Zihang's attribute of a gossip before, in order to deliberately satisfy his gossip psychology, he used Yang Mou to force Caesar to take it
Aspasia, for this reason, also deliberately drove away the wedding of the son of a local landowner and mourned him in silence.
That's right, after Caesar knew about it, he was not afraid of big things when he watched the excitement, and he was very sassy and chartered.
Chen Wenwen was wearing the familiar white dress, a white almost transparent white skirt, white lace-trimmed socks, flat black leather shoes, and the candlelight smeared a faint layer of warm color on her body.
Lu Mingfei was dressed in a black suit, a Florentine-style shirt, and a pearl oyster button.
Sure enough, the noble son has everything to do, otherwise Lu Mingfei would have to come to a restaurant with a summer three-piece suit, and there is a great chance that he will be kicked out.
It was the first time for Lu Mingfei to eat such a serious meal, and with a girl, the atmosphere was still so weird and a little restrained.
"I started to think you were joking with me." Chen Wenwen took a sip of wine, "I searched for this restaurant on the Internet, and they are applying for three Michelin stars, and the price is scary. β
"That's good, what kind of Michelin star to apply for, a tire maker is not a serious business." Lu Mingfei said lightly.
Chen Wenwen covered her mouth, her body kept shaking, and she couldn't help laughing.
"Do you know how people react when they hear that?" Chen Wenwen looked around with a weak heart and found that no one was eavesdropping on them, so she was slightly relieved.
"Even if you know, what." Lu Mingfei said. "The Michelin restaurant review is nothing more than the joke of the children of the upper class and the rich, and it cannot be taken seriously."
"Even so, Michelin is an authoritative institution, and many people want to get in with their heads sharpened." Chen Wenwen sighed, "Ming Fei, you have changed. β
"People still have to move forward."
"I've never seen you wear a suit, it fits perfectly." Chen Wenwen glanced at Lu Mingfei. "I knew it was like this, so I dressed more formally." Chen Wenwen said again.
"That's good."
Lu Mingfei looked Chen Wenwen up and down, did not flinch, and his expression was very satisfied.
How can we be bad? In his memory, Chen Wenwen always wore this white dress that seemed to be transparent, sitting on a bench in the sunshine and reading a book, it seemed that if she didn't wear this skirt, Chen Wenwen would not be Chen Wenwen.
In the long three years, even if he was very close to Chen Wenwen, he felt that he was looking at her from afar, because there were always all kinds of boys around her who cared about her, and she was always surrounded by the shadows of those people, who were better than him, making him ashamed of himself when he was close.
And now it was still such a white dress, Chen Wenwen's skin was flowing with a layer of warm light, and he could see those graceful eyes when he raised his eyes, and smell the gentle fragrance of some shampoo on her hair.
None of the people who surrounded Chen Wenwen in the past can disturb them now, Lu Mingfei, who is a man, is still a little proud, it is so cool to return to his hometown with wealth! It's not that grizzled little kid, this day has finally come, and Wang Ba has turned over.
The sound of music is as if there is no music.
"Do you like this song?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"I like it, it's Dalida's 'ifoundmyloveinPortofino'", Chen Wenwen said, "Lu Mingfei... I... β
Lu Mingfei was stunned, is it finally here, is the theme finally here?
Everyone knows it, but the tacit understanding is not clear, maybe he still has fantasies in his heart, but he already has a new relationship, although Zero's body is very young, not as standard as Chen Wenwen's figure, and his temperament is also cold, but he is used to the existence of zero.
And he and Chen Wenwen are obviously unfair to zero, and today is the time to solve this deformed relationship.
"Sir, would you like to come here and choose a dessert wine?" The sommelier appeared behind Lu Mingfei out of nowhere, which also made Chen Wenwen swallow her words back.
"Well, good!" Lu Mingfei nodded, at this important time, it is necessary to cooperate with a good wine.
The sommelier led him to the wine cabinet used as an ancient ship, and while pointing out small bottles of golden mulled wine to introduce him, he lowered his voice, "Do you need to prepare a surprise for the lady when serving dessert?" β
"Surprise?" Lu Mingfei was stunned.
"Such a rare environment and occasion is a memorable day, right? It's a good idea to pair a surprise with a dessert, for example, where we can put an important sentence on the carving of a cheesecake. The sommelier smiled, "Please let me know if you need to." β
"No need. Maybe she's waiting for his crush to surprise her. Lu Mingfei's eyelids drooped pitifully, his eyes looked at Chen Wenwen levelly, and there was no emotional fluctuation in his eyes.
Lu Mingfei returned to the table, and Chen Wenwen was playing with the wax, smiling at him.
"Lu Mingfei, the world that picked you up last time didn't come back this time?" Chen Wenwen suddenly asked.
"She was supposed to go on vacation with her boyfriend. Lu Mingfei said.
That unreliable senior sister knows her own affairs, and she should have done more than Chu Zihang, it is very likely that she has prepared an engagement banquet for herself, maybe the priest will prepare it for herself, so she doesn't care about her feelings with Zero, she just needs to be happy to see herself.
But speaking of zero, the cold and lonely girl has recently enriched the expression on her face, and she has also learned to be jealous, but it seems that this is a girl's natural skill. She can cleanly complete the things she gave her every time, without any complaints, silently supporting herself behind her, she is not like the hero and heroine of TV series or movies, in the war-torn era, the heroine dragged the hero with tears to prevent him from joining the army.
And Zero will silently prepare everything and watch herself leave, without a word, and when you arrive at the barracks, you will be surprised to find that she is already waiting for you here.
With this girl by your side, what are you hesitating about, the girl in front of you is not her own after all.
Lu Mingfei seems to have a little devil dancing in his heart, is this kind of thing difficult for other girls to take the initiative?
He looked up at the other side of the table and said, "I actually liked you." β
After saying that, the whole person relaxed, the years of depression were swept away, and the consciousness was unprecedentedly keen.
The phrase "I actually liked you" is easy to say, but it takes a lot of courage in this environment, and the secretly fermented emotions finally explode, piercing the non-existent barrier.
He chose the future and gave up the past, which is a little sad, but the future is beautiful, and the feelings of the past can be drawn to a happy end.
"I see, needless to say." The red on Chen Wenwen's face faded, she lowered her head and whispered.
Lu Mingfei has regained his life, and he looks at Chen Wenwen differently, maybe the little boy in the past has grown up.
"Actually, I knew it before, but I pretended not to know, I'm sorry to disappoint you." Chen Wenwen said softly.
"It's okay, it's okay, I really don't blame you, trust me." Lu Mingfei took a deep breath and licked his lips, "Before I met you, I didn't know what it was like to like a girl. I only understood after I met you, in fact, I had a miserable high school life, and it would be even worse if I didn't be a nymphomaniac to you all day long, right? Thanks to you, you missed it, but you can't look back, right? I like someone for so long, that person is tied to his past, if you regret who you liked before, isn't it just a denial of your previous time? β
When he finished speaking, he took a sip and swallowed, feeling a little embarrassed, "What he said is too literary, you can make do with it." β
"It's fine." Chen Wenwen lowered her head and shook it, "You said it so well, like a poem." β
"Like a poem?" Lu Mingfei picked up a tissue to wipe his sweat, the first time someone said this about him, he was still a little embarrassed, and when he went back, he tried this trick against zero, maybe there would be a miracle.
The door creaked open, and a sneaky man poked his head out to look at the only lighted table, still carrying something in his hand.
Your sister! Dare to ask the eldest brother, did you rush in at this time to hit the tip or stay in the hotel? Without waiting for the waiter to go up to stop him, Lu Mingfei slapped the table, "Come here!" β
"Interviews."
The brother with the word "reporter" written on his face looked at the voice recorder in his hand, and pointed to the photographer behind him, thinking that these things should be enough to explain his identity, "This is my sister, she will help the two of you take a picture for a while, we are on a TV food show, I heard that Aspasia is a foodie tonight, and the executive chef will do it himself, so he braved the heavy rain to interview, my brother is so young!" β
"Northeast Silver?? Sit down for a bite to eat together? "It's really time for this reporter to come, Lu Mingfei thanked them from the bottom of his heart, these reporters are really interesting.
"Yes, yes!" The reporter was shocked by the young and hospitable gourmet, and nodded, "You don't need to eat, say a few words to our TV audience?" β
"Say what?"
"How's the food going?"
Lu Mingfei pondered for a moment, and then clicked, "The tuna is fried just right, but if I make it, I will use matsutake mushrooms to season instead of truffles." β
"Does the wine feel appetizing?"
"Of the five Bordeaux wineries, I don't like ChΓ’teau Margau the most, because it's a Bordeaux winery, but the wine it makes is a bit like Burgundy." Lu Ming pointed to the bottle unreasonably.
"What about the atmosphere of the restaurant?"
Lu Mingfei raised his head heroically, "The ancient ship is very harmonious with the old elm floor, but the designer has divided the space with marble and organic resin very modernly, and the new and the old are particularly harmonious here, both private and open." No wonder they charge so much. β
"I'll just say," the reporter brother almost beat his chest, "a master is a master!" β
Lu Mingfei was in a relaxed mood, turned his head and saw Chen Wenwen also smiled, at this moment the snowy lights flashed on the glass stained with raindrops, the dark blue Panamera sports car was parked under the tree outside, the window was lowered and raised, Chu Zihang nodded to Lu Mingfei expressionlessly.
After the reporters took countless close-ups of Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen's fronts, they were invited by the sommelier to visit the wine cellar and left happily.
Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen were left at the table again, and after being silent for a moment, Chen Wenwen smiled.
"You're such a nice guy." Chen Wenwen said softly.
"Don't issue cards anytime and anywhere like this, it's just a dinner for classmates tonight."
"Thanks, I know you don't like me anymore." Chen Wenwen whispered, "But thank you, in fact, I don't like you either, not that I don't like it, but not like it." β
"Uh-huh." Lu Mingfei nodded confusedly.
"When I say you've changed, I don't mean that you're rich, tasteful, or anything, but that you've grown up." Chen Wenwen straightened the hair around her ears.
"You say that like my senior sister." Lu Mingfei said.
"That's nice." Chen Wenwen sighed very lightly.
The two of them continued to sit still, Lu Mingfei opened his mouth, unable to think of anything to say.
"Chu Zihang is here to pick you up, you should hurry up and leave in a hurry." Chen Wenwen broke the silence. Her mind was as careful as a needle, and she remembered Chu Zihang's car after seeing it once.
"That BMW will take you home." Lu Mingfei got up, "Don't be polite to them, I paid the money, although I didn't pay for it, but if you have a wronged person, you won't slaughter it." It's their reward for watching the play. This date was completely unexpected by me, I didn't expect them to be so grand, and it was completely adding to my blockage. β
"I guessed it too. I'm giving you trouble? Chen Wenwen stood up, looking down at her toes as before.
"It's not much of a hassle. Well, only this one was prepared by me and given to you. Lu Mingfei took out a handful of crumpled plants from his bag and put them on the table.
"What is this?" Chen Wenwen wondered if Lu Mingfei would not be so surprised if she took out a bouquet of roses from her bag.
"Dandelions, I pouted near my house, but the little umbrellas have flown away this season," Lu Mingfei said, "It doesn't mean anything special, it's just a souvenir, it's the dandelion I want to give you, because you have found a lot of paper bags in your bellflower before, and it blows like snow." β
Chen Wenwen didn't say anything, gently stroking the empty branches.
"We're still classmates...... And good friends, right? Chen Wenwen raised her head.
"yes." Lu Mingfei nodded.
"Will you go back to China next summer? Can you still see it? Chen Wenwen said softly.
"Well, I can still see it!" Lu Mingfei said.
He pushed open the door, looked up at the pouring rain, cocked his collar to cover his head, and ran out with his suitcase and backpack.
Sitting in the passenger seat, he looked out for the last time before closing the door, on the side of the glass covered with raindrops, Chen Wenwen pressed her hands on the glass, and the breath from her mouth smoked a small white mist, and her mouth was "goodbye".
Panamera cuts through the rain curtain and drives to the end of the boulevard.
"I'll tell Zero that this was my idea." Chu Zihang looked straight ahead, his face expressionless.
"No need." Lu Ming didn't plan it, "Zero she knows, and now it's done." β
