Chapter Twenty-Nine: Love Is Coming
At 11 a.m. on May 20, 2030, when Ling Jin and Queen finished getting their hair done, they drove to a nearby ready-to-wear store. Ling Jin changed several suits according to Queen's requirements, and when he was tired and sweating slightly, he changed into a set of "packaging" that made "Her Royal Highness the Queen" slightly satisfied with with the help of the shopping guide.
Otherwise, if she doesn't choose a satisfactory dress in this battle today, she will basically have to "soak" in the soup for that lunch.
This suit, which makes Queen barely feel that it can match her little black dress, is a casual suit, with a strong sense of fashion in stability, and there is no sense of disobedience when worn on Ling Jin.
Ling Jin looked at himself in the mirror who suddenly became handsome, and his expression was surprised. It's no wonder that he never realized that he was so handsome. In the fitting mirror, he finally saw a shallow smile from the unhappy Queen, so he felt a little more warm in his heart.
After two or three hours of tossing, the hearts of the two of them, which had become gloomy because of the cards, seemed to have been swept away and became much clearer.
After a while, the bell rang at 12 o'clock above Lingyun City, which meant that the City Lord's Mansion had selected the champion of this year's "Sweet Event" on Confession Day.
The shopping guide of the ready-to-wear store looked at Queen with disappointment, Ling Jin saw it, and said lightly: "Why do you look at her like this?"
The shopping guide complained softly: "If I didn't go to work today, I would have participated in the event, I could not only get off the list, but also have a house with beautiful decoration and complete furniture and appliances to live in, that would be many years less struggle." β
When Queen heard this, she didn't have much interest, after all, after she got the He's Bi, she would leave this "alien space" and go to open the Qin Tomb.
I saw her stand up expressionlessly, walk to the cash register and put her watch in front of the scanner embedded in the wall, and gently shake it, and a crisp and sweet sentence came from the wall, "Distinguished guest, congratulations on your successful payment." β
Ling Jin crooked his mouth at the shopping guide, and hurriedly followed with the shopping bag, leaving the stunned shopping guide to look at the two who left.
But she had a trace of disgust and prejudice against Ling Jin in her heart, "In this world now, there are still men who eat soft rice, who look like dogs, but I didn't expect to be such a slut." But if he is said to be a little white face, then his appearance should not be squeezed, and if he is said to be a strict wife, it is not like a woman who can control a man's material. Hey, these two don't look like husband and wife at first glance. β
She can say that, it obviously means that in Lingyun City, men can't eat soft rice.
Queen and Ling Jin drove through the scenic riverside road and then into a western restaurant.
The two drove outside an ancient castle, got out of the car and walked, and handed the car keys to the parking man.
At this time, the raindrops became more and more dense, filling the gloomy sky with the smell of sadness.
Uncharacteristically, Queen took out a pair of black sunglasses from her white satchel and put them on, and walked into a Western European-style arch.
Ling Jin saw that she had done this series of things with her thin body today, and her heart was inexplicably painful.
She must have wanted to prove something, so she pretended to be like this. But who is she proving? Is it the man named King or herself?
As a man, there is nothing else to do but accompany at this time. for all words will become pale and powerless.
So a trace of loss and pain flashed in his eyes, and he followed her thin back into the "dark passage" hung with colorful neon lights. The walls on both sides of the dark passage are sparsely inlaid with glass fish tanks, and the fish tanks are illuminated by various lights, which is very charming, like inlaid multicolored gemstones. Despite their different colors and styles, these various "underwater worlds" all contain the same fish: koi fish, which represent wealth and good fortune.
The two finally walked through the dark passage and entered the spacious dining hall.
If you want to dispel your depression, it is better to comfort each other's lonely feelings in that exotic secret passage than in this opulent and crowded restaurant.
Queen is a lonely woman, and she is also the type who does not want to disguise - otherwise, she would not fully reveal her temperament in front of Ling Jin, a man who is a stranger.
Ling Jin didn't think she was arrogant, nor did she think she was flashy, maybe it was because he had commanded the three armies before he crossed over, so that the inner contradictions and entanglements of the little woman in front of her were undoubtedly revealed.
I saw Queen walk to the table next to the floor-to-ceiling glass window at the innermost part of the restaurant and sit down, take off the sunglasses and put them under a small vase with red roses on the table. Her afterglow was hitting Ling Jin's face, who was standing in the aisle staring at her with complicated emotions, so she immediately turned her head and held her chin with both hands to look at the light rain that became dripping.
Ling Jin saw her dodging and quickly avoiding her gaze, and there was a hint of surprise in her heart.
Surprised, the tears in her eyes that were about to squeeze out made him see the simple and unpretentious woman he had not seen for a long time, which was really rare, and the happy thing was that she would avoid her gaze, which meant that she had her own place in her heart, and she was so sad because of herself.
......
The light rain outside the window hit the river surface downstairs, causing countless flickering ripples on the river surface, like the surge of sailors in front of the dragon gate, with a latent crisis in the poetry. Queen, a middle-aged woman who has shuttled through various vanity fairs, is about to be unable to hold back her tears at this moment.
She kept blaming herself in her heart: she had forgotten the damn card in the morning, but why did she feel like this damn weather? Could it be that there is a little ghost full of pathos hidden in her bones, and from time to time she comes to gnaw at the heart that is already afraid of pain?
Seeing her loneliness at this time, Ling Jin seemed to see an invisible "wall" between the two, perhaps, this was destined to be isolated from her world in this life, and he could not be crossed.
But at this time, what can he Ling Jin do, he is not just letting his thoughts fly, hovering his heart uneasily over the two men. His apricot eyes, which seemed to be able to speak, showed a hint of regret and loss, and immediately glanced at the people at the next table and sat opposite her, but deliberately avoided him.
At this moment, he made up his mind: Since she has a heart, then I can only accompany and wait, resigned to fate, and she likes it. Who let the person who fell in love with each other first be himself? If you are jealous of that little card today, you will only break up unhappily, but you will not get her emotions and future.
How unwise it is to "fight for love" in front of a woman who already loves her. Although Ling Jin knew that he had the slightest "importance" in her heart, how could this pitiful goodwill that could be blown away by a breeze compare to the affection of Shuangsu and Shuangfei.
Thinking of this, he tried his best to fill his face with a "smile" - he thought that he might look abrupt at this time, and this abruptness would make his very energetic self instantly turn into a "harlequin", but if he didn't pretend to smile, what else could he do?
Suddenly, two waiters in suits come to the table, breaking the silent awkward atmosphere between them.
"Is this Miss Q? Your location is upstairs, please come with us." β
Queen turned around, picked up the glasses on the table, and stood up with her white satchel in hand. "Please lead the way. β
So the two of them entered a quiet private room upstairs under the guidance of the waiter, although it was a private room, it was still a restaurant that could accommodate many people at the same time.
The chairs in the restaurant are dressed in an off-white coat with a dark green waistline, and the sunken ceiling with beige European candlelight makes it more elegant than the restaurant of the Fangcai.
Under the light, Queen's pretty face that wanted to cry without tears but had a crimson nose looked a little ruddy, and when the waiter opened the stool for the two of them and sat down, a pastry chef wearing a tall white hat walked in with red wine and cake. This cake has a cream-colored skirt with two pink roses on the periphery, which is very beautiful.
Ling Jin's eyes widened, and he watched the cake chef carefully hold the base, put the beautiful cake on the table, and took out a bottle of chilled wine from under the cart.
With a "bang", a white cold air came out of the bottle.
"Sir, will you pour it for you?"
Ling Jin was talking to the waiter, polite.
Naturally, Queen took the recipe from a waiter, put the bag and sunglasses on the table, and took out a card with a hollow pattern from the bag and pasted it on the open recipe.
She seemed to use her playful mind to dispel her depressed mood, and she saw the black Danko's fingers gently move the card until the recipe turned several pages.
Suddenly, her misty eyes showed a hint of emotion, and staring at the line of words peeking through the gap in the card made her body tremble today.
What an accident!
"At 18 o'clock on June 6th, Sister Jun (Miss Xiang, the publisher of the bounty task) was in the courtyard, and she was not gone. β
As soon as the handwriting appeared, the waiter bowed down and smiled and said, "What do you need?"
After closing the recipe and handing it back to the waiter next to her, Queen placed the card on her satchel and took a closer look at the pink cake.
Ling Jin glanced at her, then took out a small note from the bouquet of red roses on the table, and the appearance of the juanxiu font on the note made Ling Jin feel unhappy - it was obvious that the text on this note and the text on the card in the morning were made by the same people.
βQueenοΌ520οΌKingγ β
Ling Jin looked at Queen with solemn eyes, and stiffly handed her the note. But the Queen is like a missed answer.
Ling Jin didn't know what she meant, and asked sourly in her heart, "What does 520 mean?"
There were no waves in Queen's cold eyes, and after glancing at him, she buried her head in picking up the cut-out card on her bag and played with it. "It's just the date. β
Ling Jin saw that she was suddenly abnormal, as if the woman who was trapped in love just now had disappeared without a trace. "Is this zigzag symbol a kind of writing?"
Queen hesitated for a moment in her hand, and naturally spit out two words without raising her head, "English." β
Her brightly colored lip oil is so sexy in the spotlight that it gives the illusion of being in a blurred space.
Ling Jin looked at her side face stupidly, the high bridge of his nose and the contour of his sexy lips made his heart beat faster and his blood boiled. At this moment, just as she became cold, he saw hope again, and the flame of love burned and spread in his dry heart.
