Chapter 12: The Direction the Sword Pointed (2)
Yi Ziyun wiped the sweat on her forehead with some embarrassment: "I've heard about you, it should be a trick for you to arrive on time, right?"
"Since what you say is so nice, then I can barely count it as a 'trick'. Xiao Baiyu was a little funny, this girl probably wanted to say "cheating", "It's just that some guys are really annoying, but they always have to pay it back when they come out, now they should be laughing very happily, I will make them cry and can't cry." ”
"Oh, don't talk about that, the dance is about to start, let's go!" Yi Ziyun didn't care what Xiao Baiyu was thinking, pulled up Xiao Baiyu and jumped up like a jubilant deer, barely ran two steps before he almost broke his foot, only to realize that he was wearing high heels, and then stuck out his tongue at Xiao Baiyu, and was quiet for a while.
The ballroom at the Dawn Hotel is on the other side of the church, and a place like the ballroom is really not suitable for a church side. If there is a dance hall, there will be a bar, and for this new party, the guys in Celestial have hired a well-known bartender.
"Even a well-known bartender is not a brewer, and cocktails can only be served with desserts, what do you drink?" Yi Ziyun tugged Xiao Baiyu's arm, "I'll invite you." ”
"I haven't eaten dinner yet, just look at it. ”
"Martini, vermouth wine, low in alcohol, elegant and noble, using white wine as raw materials, adding cornflower, cloves, fennel and other spices, the color is also light, less sweet, but also can stimulate appetite and eliminate fatigue. Yi Ziyun smiled sweetly, her eyes bent into crescents.
"You have memorized these backwards, but that's right, a foodie like you who holds the little red book everywhere you go, no matter how much you wronged yourself, you won't be wronged by your stomach. Xiao Baiyu shook his head helplessly, he still remembered that since Yi Ziyun tasted the dishes of the first Chinese chef who won the highest Michelin star award that year when he was eight years old, he would go anywhere in the world and bring the local "little red book", and then go to the nearby three-Michelin star restaurant as soon as the meal arrived.
(Note: The Michelin Food Guide, one of Michelin's star publications, introduces some restaurants that taste unique local cuisine, and has always used red as the cover, so it is called "Little Red Book", known as the "Food Bible", and is the world's oldest and most authoritative guide to hotels and restaurants.) )
"How can there be?" Yi Ziyun straightened her lower abdomen angrily, revealing her slender and flexible waist, "Don't you see that my figure has been maintained quite well in recent years? ”
"Oh, that's really 'Chu waist slender and light in the palm', but it's a pity that there is no King Chu Ling and Emperor Han Cheng in this era. ”
"Slightly, hum," Yi Ziyun stuck out her tongue three times at Xiao Baiyu, and then snorted coldly, pursed her small mouth, don't turn her head, and clasped her hands in front of her chest.
"Okay, okay, isn't Old Master Kong also a foodie? I didn't say that it's bad to like food," Xiao Baiyu twisted Yi Ziyun's head slightly with his hand, "What do you drink, I'll order it." ”
"Margarita, salt-edged," Yi Ziyun raised her hand gracefully, as if a nobleman was calling a servant, "the lime juice is as usual, the lemon juice is halved, no agave syrup, add a little more Cointreau silver tequila, just shake it over the ice, don't enlarge the ice cubes, just sprinkle a little crushed ice and orange peel." ”
The corners of Xiao Baiyu's mouth twitched slightly, he looked at the bar, paused, and turned around: "You better go by yourself, I feel a little embarrassed by such a hypocritical way of ordering wine." ”
"No! I want you to go. ”
"Then please please trouble this beautiful lady to repeat your request......" Xiao Baiyu bowed slightly, like a waiter in a high-end restaurant.
"Poof!" Yi Ziyun couldn't hold back her laughter, and burst out laughing, "Xiaobai, if you're not afraid of being overused, how about going to our restaurant as a waiter?"
"It's not good, if it's so miserable in the future, it's so miserable that I don't have anything to eat, maybe I'll think about it. Xiao Baiyu walked to the bar and answered without looking back.
Holding a cocktail and drinking at the bar, Xiao Baiyu glanced at the dancing crowd, this kind of overlapping light and shadow and the noise of the dance hall made him a little uncomfortable, so he lowered his head, closed his eyes and drank slowly.
"Let's go dance too......" Yi Ziyun pushed Xiao Baiyu's arm, blinking with big watery eyes.
"Okay, it's just that it's useless to just know some classical Chinese dance, but if you are in China, you can take a look. When I was learning ballroom dancing, I don't know which guy trampled my white shoes all over the place. ”
"Well, that's not to blame you, who made you learn so fast. Yi Ziyun said confidently, "Now I'm a dance master, master!"
Xiao Baiyu was dumbfounded, it turned out that it was wrong to learn so quickly, but at that time, learning so fast was just to free up time to practice kendo. So the dance teacher has always said that although Xiao Yifan learns quickly, his dancing posture is as beautiful as a robot......
"I haven't touched it for so many years, haven't you forgotten the dance steps?" Yi Ziyun looked at Xiao Baiyu with a suspicious expression, "When the time comes, you can't declare a personal vendetta, I stepped on you back then because I really didn't learn it at that time!"
"Don't worry, although I've never been interested in dancing, I should have no problem with basic dance steps if I follow the music......"
Xiao Baiyu confirmed his words with his actions, although the dance steps were a little jerky, he could barely keep up with the rhythm, but he was frightened when he saw Yi Ziyun, for fear that he would step on his feet. It's not that I'm afraid of pain, but I feel sorry for this collector's edition of fish-mouth high heels on my feet.
"What do you care about a pair of shoes? I'll buy you ten pairs when the time comes." Xiao Baiyu understood her very well, and she could see the focus of Yi Ziyun's attention at a glance.
"What do you know?" Yi Ziyun glared at Xiao Baiyu fiercely, "This seems to me to be a work of art, just like music, you ruined a vinyl record, and it was useless to buy a hundred discs!"
"CDs and records are incomparable, but can't I compensate you for the same thing?" I have to say that Xiao Baiyu is completely tasteless except for music, so Yi Ziyun, who knows him very well, gave the most vivid and appropriate example.
As soon as the words fell, Yi Ziyun stepped on Xiao Baiyu very unconvinced, with an arrogant face, "It's just a violent thing, burning the piano and boiling the crane, drying the robe under the flowers, and the clear spring is full of ......."
"Yo, I haven't seen you for a few years, your Chinese has improved, and you haven't fallen behind if you don't stay in the country, but it's worth praising it, and a few more synonymous idioms to try?"
"Sipping tea on flowers, drinking from Panasonic, and getting up from the mountain," Yi Ziyun made a grimace, "I like Li Yishan's works the most, almost all of them have been read, I am not like Lin Daiyu, I only like the sentence 'Leave the dry lotus to listen to the sound of the rain'." ”
"It's more interesting to chat with Han Luanshou," Xiao Baiyu put on a gentle smile again, "In his world, there are Hemingway's "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and Dickens's "Notre Dame de Paris", which makes me almost think that the past ten years have been in vain." ”
"Haha, it turns out that you have bullied him like this all day long......" Yi Ziyun showed a sweet smile again, her big eyes were bent into crescents, her long eyelashes fluttered, and the dance music became brisk and lively, with her plain white princess dress and high heels, like an elf flying out of a fairy tale.
"I don't dare to bully him, for now, I'm only better than him in this aspect, I can't beat him, I can still talk about him. Xiao Baiyu shrugged his shoulders, "I'm not much better than Lin Daiyu, the only one I still like is Li Shangyin's two poems 'One String and One Pillar Si Hua Nian' and 'Last Night's Stars and Last Night's Wind' were used into better sentences by Huang Jingren in later generations." ”
"'There are green and black words, talk about the Jin Se Chronicle of the passing year' and 'It seems that this star is not last night, for whom is the wind and the night open'?"
"It seems that in the past few years, you have not only read a lot of idioms, but also read a lot of ancient poems, even an unpopular poet like Huang Jingren You can recite his verses. ”
"You don't have to look surprised, I've always been very good," Yi Ziyun gave Xiao Baiyu a roll of his eyes.
"For whom is the wind dew...... "Yi Ziyun pondered repeatedly, "Xiaobai, who are you for?"
"Of course not for you!"
"You...... Hmph, who's rare! Ignore you. As soon as the music stopped, the girl lifted her skirt and walked to the bar with an angry face.
After dancing a dance, Xiao Baiyu also followed Yi Ziyun back to the bar, but at this time, there were already two more people in the original position, and the corners of Xiao Baiyu's mouth twitched and stepped forward.
"Wind Hate Song, did you bring her to the bar and dance hall?
"Hey, you just throw her away from me, I don't understand the language with her, and I've been staring at her with big eyes, how embarrassing. Besides, didn't I bring her to see the world? "Those two are naturally Laura and the Wind Hate Song.
I saw that both of them were holding a cocktail in their hands, Feng Hate Song was drinking a glass of Amber Dream with a wicked smile, while Laura was holding a red and glamorous Bloody Mary in her hand, the little girl looked intoxicated and her eyes were misty, because the spicy wine stuck out her tongue, and the little blushing was very cute. However, Xiao Baiyu was full of black lines, snatched the wine glass from Laura's hand, and sniffed it carefully.
"Soviet Red Card Vodka Modulation!Wind Hate Song, do you believe that I poured a pound of this wine into your stomach?" Xiao Baiyu turned his head and showed a spring breeze-like smile at Wind Hate Song.
"Hehe...... " Feng Hage smirked and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, he knew that no matter how much Xiao Baiyu said something that looked like a joke, you shouldn't think he was joking, because he really did it.
"What a cute little sister!" Yi Ziyun ran to Laura's side and pinched her pink little face, then turned her head and asked, "Xiaobai, who is this little sister?"
"Brother......" The little girl was confused and muttered.
"Pashto?!Afghan?!" Yi Ziyun was a little surprised in her heart, so she looked at Xiao Baiyu suspiciously.
"I met her in Afghanistan......" Looking at Laura in front of him, Xiao Baiyu could only tell Yi Ziyun what happened, and he no longer hid Xu Minhan's affairs, but after the stimulation and anger, he didn't remember what happened before Wei Wenke arrived in that forest.
In other words, so far, no one knows how the little leader of the armed group died, and Xiao Baiyu himself has never remembered what kind of taboo was used. He was a little more sober when Wei Wenke arrived, and at that time he also realized that the small leader of the armed organization had disappeared.
"My encounter with her was a bit accidental, and the fact that she was an unprecedented virus of γ bloodline brought her here. ”
"Xiaobai, you ......" Although Xiao Baiyu only said a rough idea, Yi Ziyun understood why he said "tired". Over the years, he has forgotten who he is and what he has experienced, not to mention the people and things involved, and Xu Minhan's appearance fills a hole, which is the hole of "friends" defined between bear children in childhood......
With the relapse of memories and strong emotional shifts at the same time, it's no wonder that the mind is tired.
"Seeing that she has to worship every morning and evening, I feel that the somewhat stubborn guy has not left, and until death Min Han doesn't know what kind of blood flows in my and Laura's bodies," said a little abruptly, Xiao Baiyu turned his eyes to Feng Hate Ge, "Are you lying to her to use this wine as juice?" She is a Hazara, a child of Allah, if she knows that she has drunk wine, she will repent and atone for it, and I will slowly settle this account with you later. ”
Feng Hate Ge "chuckled" in his heart, he knew Xiao Baiyu better, this is a guy who likes to solve troubles immediately, if he has to settle it slowly, it will be a very serious way to deal with it, and he will definitely die a miserable death.
