486 Fish maw snake soup
I smiled faintly, didn't say anything else, got up and followed Mo Xuanxin upstairs.
Xu Mo is very capable, I don't deny this, but if you want to say that the world is full of nets, it is not realistic. To deal with the ghost-eyed girl, the bigger the net, the greater the loss, so you can't set it, you can only kill one-on-one. I came to Guangdong to find her because I was unfamiliar with the place and needed her to be a guide.
Mo Xuanxin led me to the guest room, I drank a glass of warm water, and then lay down on the bed. I didn't rest for a day and a night, and I felt like I was all over my body when I lay down, and I soon fell asleep groggy.
I don't know how long I slept, but the ringing of my phone woke me up. I struggled to open my eyes and touched my phone to connect the phone, "Hey, who's it?" ”
"Brother Lin, I'm Du Xiaoyu."
"Oh, Xiaoyu, I haven't been in touch for a few days", I sat up, "What's the matter, find me something?" ”
"I'll get married on the 5th of next month," she was silent for a moment, "Are you coming?" ”
I suddenly sobered up.
"Brother Lin, why don't you speak?"
"You're getting married?" I frowned, "With whom?" That boyfriend of yours? ”
She smiled calmly, "It's not that person, you also know this person, Sun Xiaoming." ”
"Sun ......" I was stunned, "Sun Xiaoming? Sun Xiaoming, the CEO of Huayue Media? You're not kidding, are you! ”
"Marriage is a big event, how can it be a joke", she sighed, "Actually...... He's been chasing me since I was an intern at the company. That time, he came to the company to talk to Mr. Lu about project cooperation, and you took me to meet him. Since then, he has been thinking about me for almost three years, and it is time for me to give someone an explanation. ”
"Xiaoyu, you can't be impulsive about this", I said, "Sun Xiaoming is almost forty, how old are you?" Don't marry someone you don't like because you're a little awkward with your boyfriend, it's a lifetime thing, you can't start all over again if you make a mistake! ”
"I'm not angry", she paused, "Lin Zhuo, what I like is you, and it has always been you." You've been avoiding me, rejecting me, I've found another boyfriend, that's angry. But now I'm tired and awake, that so-called boyfriend is just a stand-in, since I can't get the love I want, then find someone who loves me to marry, it's not bad. The best time for girls is just these few years, and I don't want to squander it anymore. Or rather, I really couldn't find a new reason to refuse him, so I had no choice but to say yes. ”
I was silent.
She was also silent.
After a long time, I breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, you just have to think about it." I'm running errands outside now, and if I can get back to Beijing before the 5th of next month, I'll definitely go. ”
"Brother Lin," she choked up, "I've liked you for so long, and you've never given me a sure word about anything but work." Now that I'm getting married, I'm someone else's woman in the future, so you should give me a gift and give me a confirmation, okay? ”
I hesitated, "I'll go." ”
"Well, thank you", she smiled, "then you are busy, I won't bother, pay attention to your body." ”
I hung up the phone and looked at it quietly, my mind going blank. I don't like Du Xiaoyu, it doesn't make a difference to me who she marries. It's just that what she said just now made me feel guilty in my heart. Sun Xiaoming is a famous playboy, and he will get married on the 5th of next month, which means that there are less than two weeks left, which can be regarded as a flash marriage. I understand that the reason why she is so anxious is because she is afraid that she will regret it, and she is afraid that she will not be able to let go of the past.
In fact, I shouldn't have appeared on such an occasion, it would only make her feel uncomfortable. The reason why she insisted on letting me drink this cup of wine may be so that I can see her happiness and feel better from now on.
At this moment, I really want to smoke a cigarette.
In the evening, Xu Mo took me to the city and opened two rooms in a five-star hotel, one for each of us, living next door.
"I've slept all afternoon, do you want to take a rest first?" She asked me.
"No, I'm back to life," I said.
"Okay, let's go to the room and have a look, if it's okay, let's go eat", she looked at me, "please eat seafood." ”
"It doesn't have to be so grand, right?" I smiled, "You might as well take me to a bowl of wonton noodles, to be honest, I haven't eaten authentic wonton noodles yet." Let's find a tea restaurant, eat a bowl of noodles, and chat. ”
"How can there be such a reason", she shook her head, "have you ever seen someone who uses wonton noodles to catch the wind?" I've already booked a seat, so you're welcome. ”
"Okay, then it's better to be respectful", I said with a smile, "but you have to wait for me for a while, the weather in Guangzhou is too humid, I can't stand it, I want to take a shower first when I go back to my room." ”
"Yes," she said, "fifteen minutes, is that enough?" ”
"It won't take that long, ten minutes is enough!"
She raised an eyebrow, "Okay, I'll see you later." ”
Xu Mo's location is a restaurant, called Ah Fa Ji, the name is very rustic, and the environment is very heroic, so the consumption is naturally heroic. A pot of Luo Han Guo here costs more than two hundred, and in an ordinary restaurant outside, it only costs more than a dozen yuan.
She ordered a lot of dishes, the main dish was a lobster, and in addition, it was ginseng abalone belly wings and the like, which made me feel distressed.
"Xu Mo, how much can we eat?" I said, "What a waste of ordering so much, what a pity!" ”
"Who said it was going to be wasted?" She glanced at me, "If you can't eat, take it away, Xuan Xin will take someone to the hotel to meet us later, just let her take it home." ”
"Meet us? Who? I asked.
"Chen Ziqing", she poured me wine, "He called Brother Donkey and wanted to go to Beijing, but Brother Donkey didn't agree, saying that he had sent someone over, so he insisted on meeting you." I didn't agree, but he said that he had something very important to tell you, and since that was the case, it wouldn't hurt to meet you. ”
"In that case, let's stop drinking", I looked at the wine glass, "It's not good to do things after drinking, don't delay." ”
"You think too much, I'll pick you up and wash the dust, how can you do without wine?" She looked at me, "As for running errands, don't think about it, it's just a chat tonight, there's nothing to do." ”
Xu Mo spoke very well, gentle and confident, unspeakable, embarrassed to oppose her. I smiled and nodded, "Okay, listen to you." ”
"Come, let's raise a glass", she smiled, "Welcome to Guangzhou!" ”
After three rounds of drinking, the two of us chatted, starting from the first meeting of Tang Fengyu, talking about the Seventh Master, talking about the Nine Star Club, talking about Guangzhou, and finally unconsciously talking about Li Zixin.
"That girl is a little too smart, and her personality is not good", Xu Mo waved his hand, "Although she is a lot more mature now, but the nature of the country is easy to change, it is better for you and her not to get too close." ”
"Even if you say that, it seems that Purple Heart's problem is really not small", I said, "but I've always wondered what she did to make you have such a big opinion of her?" ”
Xu Mo put down his chopsticks, "What kind of people do you say are the most annoying in the circle of feng shui masters?" ”
I thought about it, "Bullying teachers and destroying ancestors, being ungrateful, not believing in words, crossing the river and demolishing bridges." ”
"Yes", she looked at me, "she has done all these things to my brother, do you think we will like her?" ”
"So serious?" I frowned, "Isn't she still a student of the Seventh Master now?" ”
"That's my brother's magnanimity, not like her children's knowledge," she said, pouring her wine, "A few years ago, their ancestors and grandchildren were in trouble, and the Japanese wanted to seek revenge on them. Her grandfather set up a bureau and wanted my brother to come forward to solve problems for him and shield him from the wind and rain, and the first step in this bureau was to let Li Zixin worship my brother as a teacher. ”
"And then?" I asked.
"The Li family has a secret book, called "Nine Secrets of the Purple Emperor", which is a secret technique of crape myrtle handed down from the court of the Song Dynasty", she said, "This book is not easy to understand, her grandfather asked her to bring this book to her brother, and let her brother teach it to Li Zixin for him." Not long after, Li Zixin learned it, and then they came to Guangzhou together to save that old Mr. Li. I won't go into details about the process in the middle, anyway, my brother took a big risk, but fortunately, he saved Mr. Li's life. But when Li Zixin saw that his grandfather was injured, he immediately scolded my brother, saying that I asked you to save my grandfather, but you made him injured, what are you doing and so on. ”
I frowned, "That's a bit too much, isn't it?" It's good to be able to save her life, besides, the seventh master is her master, how can she do this? ”
She looked at me, "But that's what she did, do you think we can forgive her?" Later, she left, and there was no news for two or three years when she left, and when she reappeared, she was already a world-famous Ziwei master. Since then, she has been looking for opportunities to make amends, wanting to change her brother's opinion of her. But being smart is always mistaken by being smart, her intentions are too obvious, everyone is a fellow practitioner, who can't see it? ”
"Perhaps...... Is it a bit of a misunderstanding? I said, "Everyone has a time when they are young and ignorant, and now she is much better, at least the respect for the seventh master, that is sincere, I can feel it." ”
"I don't deny that," she said, "but how do I say it...... Our circle is very sensitive, and once something happens, it will take a long time to completely remove its influence. No matter how good she is now, we don't have the same intimacy as we used to have, and there is no way to do it. Okay, let's not talk about her, you two are very fateful, you talk too much, you should think that I slandered her behind my back. ”
"No, I know what kind of person she is", I smiled, "It's just that I've been curious about some things before." ”
"This girl isn't bad, she's just too scheming," she looked at me, "but if she likes you, it won't hurt you." ”
As we spoke, two waitresses in cheongsams came over and served us two bowls of soup.
"Come on, this is the finale, it's delicious, try it", Xu Mo looked at me with a smile.
I didn't think much of it, I picked up the spoon and took a small bite, but it tasted delicious, "What is this?" It's delicious! ”
Xu Mo smiled, "Fish maw snake soup." ”
My hand trembled, "You...... How do you make me eat this? I'm a northerner! ”
