Chapter 119: Light, Darkness, and Shadow (4)
"Whoa~!"
The chips fell on the collage marble floor with a crisp and bright sound, the light overhead was dazzling, and the pale golden sari floated up, shining in the light, like a long river sparkling in the afternoon.
Cheng Mo could clearly see that Patani's collar diagonally over the collarbone was embroidered with silver thread, revealing the snow-white of his right arm, and the air was filled with a rich, warm and woody aroma, like the fragrance of heavy rain falling on the green land scorched by the scorching summer sun.
Cheng Mo stretched out his hand to support the fallen Patani, her towering and soft Hun part happened to be stuck a little above Cheng Mo's right arm, the touch was very Q elastic, she didn't look like she was wearing BRA, this position was not far from her slender waist, the energetic flexibility made people's hearts flutter, and it happened that her hand was also pressed on her chest, and a burst of burning heat came from her palm.
Cheng Mo didn't mean to deliberately take advantage of it, he held Patani up hard, he felt the other party's body tremble, and it was obvious that the other party's heart still had some rejection of this kind of physical contact.
Patarni, who looked a bit like the Chinese star Angela's baby, stabilized his figure and hurriedly said in English: "I'm sorry!
Cheng Mo also said in English: "It's okay", and very gentlemanly changed his hand to a more sensitive position, leaving the more sensitive position, and straightened Patani.
Patani pretended to want to hold Cheng Mo's arm and stand firmly, but he screamed "oh", as if he had sprained his foot, and fell into Cheng Mo's arms again with a panicked expression.
Cheng Mo reached out again to support Patani.
Patani grabbed Cheng Mo's arm and said with an embarrassed expression: "I'm sorry, my foot seems to be sprained! Maybe I shouldn't wear high heels..."
Cheng Mo said gently: "It's okay, ma'am, if your foot is sprained, I'll help you go there and sit down first!"
Patani looked at the chips that fell to the ground and said apologetically, "But I lost your chips......"
"It's just a small thing. Cheng Mo said lightly, and then he waved his hand and called a waiter who was about to go back to the bar with an empty cup and said, "Please help me pick up the chips." ”
The waiter hurriedly bowed and said, "Okay, sir." ”
"Thank you. Cheng Mo responded, paused and said to Patani: "I'll help you go and sit first." ”
Patani nodded, so Cheng Mo kept a certain distance from Patarani, and carefully helped her to walk to the bar on the side, there were not many casino people at dinner time, no one looked at Patani when he fell down just now, in fact, there are not many people in the entire Penglai Wonderland, and no one can see it when he often walks on the road, but there are still some people in every place to play, after all, the number of people that Penglai Wonderland can receive is quite limited.
Patani also seemed to feel Cheng Mo's meticulous gentlemanly character, limped forward with Cheng Mo's arm, and said a little embarrassed again: "It's really bothering you!"
Cheng Mo imitated Li Jiting's tone and said in standard British English: "Don't say sorry and thank you anymore, it's my honor to help such a beautiful lady as you....."
"You're so decent!" Pathani chuckled, although she was laughing, she was quite disgusted by Cheng Mo's slightly frivolous language, in her opinion, the man in front of her was a hypocritical rich second generation who relied on a little money and pretended to be a gentleman, but pretending to be a gentleman was better than the kind of hooligan who didn't want to pretend.
"No, I just said what I really mean. With that, he helped Patani move the brown leather sofa seat in front of the coffee table.
Patani was a little disgusted, but forced to sit down elegantly by pressing the armrests of the sofa, the Tianzhu woman wearing a golden sari was very rich, half covered and half exposed, and her faint figure grew beautiful under the soft and transparent sarlie. Just now, Cheng Mo found that Sha Li's front and back collars were relatively low, revealing a slender neck and butterfly-like shoulder blades in front, and a snow-white straight back in the back, not only that, but two ropes with tassels were designed on the back of the corset, and a bow hung down on the back, as if a gentle pull could unlock a woman's secret, this temptation was too strong for men.
Cheng Mo looked at Patani's graceful figure hidden under Shari, his spirit was in a trance a little, he didn't have too many charming thoughts, he just sighed that he didn't dream that he would stage a movie plot like a 007 in his lifetime, a brilliant casino, an exotic beauty, a widely implicated conspiracy, and an evil and powerful enemy......
It's just that Cheng Mo is not sure what role he will play in this grand movie, he has always been self-aware, and he knows that he cannot be the leading actor, and a person like him, who has an incorrect view in the eyes of others, will most likely become a negative character.
However, Cheng Mo doesn't mind being a villain, after all, life is not a movie, and most of the villains in the movie don't have a good end, even if they succeed in killing the righteous warriors and mastering the world in the end, they will still be destroyed in the end, either by God, or by themselves.
But life is not a movie, and in life, villains like him often live much better than warriors with a strong sense of justice.
Patani noticed that Cheng Mo looked at his body and was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't see Cheng Mo's expression at all through the mask, and he couldn't figure out what Cheng Mo was thinking, which made Patani more and more unhappy, but thinking that if the other party was lustful, it would be better to seduce, and Patani felt a little better. She subconsciously swept Cheng Mo from head to hand, and finally fell on Cheng Mo's eyes hidden under the clown mask, hesitated for a moment, and decided to quickly introduce the conversation to the topic, "Have we met?"
Cheng Mo nodded, "Yes, we are at the same table at the Rainbow Tavern..... I recognized you a long time ago, because that day, I was so impressed by your beauty. ”
"Actually, I was also impressed by your superb poker skills, but I was a little embarrassed to say that I had lost face in front of you just now. Patani smiled, in fact, in addition to Cheng Mo's superb card skills, he brought two young girls, which impressed Patani even more, which is why Patani was a little disgusted with Cheng Mo at the beginning.
"I'm just lucky, my poker skills are actually very average, and I don't usually play cards. Cheng Mo said very modestly, at this time, the waiter happened to put the chips neatly in the crystal chip box according to the color, and put them in front of Cheng Mo, Cheng Mo took a hundred thousand US dollars of chips and gave the waiter a tip, and took the initiative to ask Patani if he wanted a cup of coffee.
Now is not the time to show that she is very unhappy, Patani naturally will not refuse, after ordering coffee, she said: "I don't know your name yet, I don't know why it's inconvenient to say...."
"My name is Lin Zhinuo, you can just call me by my English name zero! I don't know what to call you?"
"Disha Pattani, just call me Pattani. ”
The two chatted a few more words about the game that day, and Patani lost no time in praising Cheng Mo, and then said casually: "It's the first time I've come to Penglai Wonderland, to be honest, it's really magical and luxurious here, it's a bit incredible, I don't know how many times you've been here?"
Cheng Mo knew that Patani was starting to trick him, and he also wanted to find out the identity of the other party from the conversation, so Cheng Moyun replied lightly: "I've been here several times, but Penglai Wonderland is a good place, and every time I come, it will give you a different feeling.....
"Yes, can you tell us what's so special? I look like a high-end playground these days, and it doesn't seem to be anything special!"
Cheng Mo knew that Patani was trying to lead the topic in the direction of Lutai, and he quietly reversed the temptation, "I still like to go to shooting clubs to play, where not only can hunting, but also have a high degree of simulation of real-life shootouts, it is difficult for me to get in touch with firearms in Huaxia, and it is quite enjoyable to play with real guns here." But I don't know if such a place is to a lady's liking. ”
Cheng Mo didn't take the bait and Patani was not in a hurry, and shrugged his shoulders, "Oh! We women are not very interested in guns, guns, cars, these are not very interested.....
"That's a pity, I think you women probably like places like water five-D cinemas, and it may be a very romantic choice to take your male companion to see a "Titanic..... By the way, the one who sat next to you that day was your ......"
"Don't mention that gambler, I only know how to gamble every day when I come to Penglai Wonderland, and even play some extremely bad games, to be honest, I'm very disappointed in him. Pathani said with a pretended grumble.
But Cheng Mo can see from Pattani's expression that her complaint is not from the heart, and there are obvious signs of dialogue, this is a line that has been prepared for a long time, according to common sense, it is difficult for a beautiful woman to open her heart to strangers and talk about her marital status, it can only be said that Patani's acting skills are not good, and Cheng Mo even guessed that she has never been married at all.
Of course, Cheng Mo did not expose it, but comforted: "Men! all like to gamble, and it is normal to indulge in it..... However, it is unbelievable to leave a beautiful lady like you alone. ”
Patani laughed, holding a silver spoon, drawing circles in the coffee, and the crossed Erlang leg inadvertently crossed the table, touching Cheng Mo's calf with the tip of his high heels, "I don't know if you have time to walk around Penglai Wonderland with me..... I'm kind of bored in a casino. ”
"Are your feet alright?" Cheng Mo asked.
Patani stood up, took two steps to the side, looked back at Cheng Mo and said, "It's a little bit.... It's uncomfortable, but it doesn't affect anything...."
Cheng Mo also stood up and made a gesture of please, "Rejecting a beautiful lady like you is a sin that God can't forgive." ”
The two walked out of the casino side by side, Cheng Mo had already come up with an idea to test Patani's identity in his mind at this time, in fact, he had roughly observed Patani's identity, but he lacked a real hammer, what he had to do at this moment was to relax Patani's vigilance and let her react most directly when she was inadvertent.
Cheng Mo took out his mobile phone and called a battery car, and sent a message to Shen Mengjie, asking her to get a balloon and wait for him in Mythology Square.....
At Patani's request, Cheng Mo and Pattani chose to drive, Pattani was bent on guiding Cheng Mo in the direction of Lutai, Cheng Mo already knew Patani's purpose, so he told Pattani that they would go to Myth Square first.
The Myth Square is not far from Lutai, and Pattani has no objection.
The battery car moved forward along the stone road, no matter for what reason the two people would walk together, but on the surface the atmosphere was still very romantic and harmonious, when Cheng Mo said that he had seen the "Mahabharata", Patani was very surprised, this and "Ramayana" are listed as the two major epics of Tianzhu's national epic, the full Chinese translation is about five million words, in foreign countries except scholars few people will read, even the Tianzhu people have not read it all.
The two talked about some cultural exchanges and historical issues between Tianzhu and Huaxia, Cheng Mo's understanding of Tianzhu made Patani a little surprised, but she did not change much of her impression of Lin Zhinuo, in Patani's opinion, as long as the men who often come to Penglai Wonderland are not good people.
A learned bad guy is more terrible than an uneducated bad guy, especially a man like Lin Zhinuo who is still pretending to be a gentleman, if he was a real gentleman, he should have refused to come out with her, a married woman, just now.
Cheng Mo didn't expect Li Jiting's character to be so disgusted, but even if he knew him, it didn't matter, the two people who both had ghosts in their hearts were false and wronged.
The battery car drove on the boulevard, the sky became obscure, and the sunset reflected on the glazed tiles of the palace in the distance, reflected on the leaves swaying in the breeze, so that the pleasant scenery made people's spirits relaxed.
"Zero, your erudition really surprised me. Patani tilted his head sideways and looked at the man wearing the clown mask beside him, although she couldn't see what this Chinese man who called himself Lin Zhinuo looked like, but she could tell from his delicate hands, as well as his smooth chin and neck without a trace of wrinkles, that Lin Zhinuo was not very old, definitely not more than 25 years old.
"Far from being erudite, I'm just interested in history! By the way, I still like Tagore very much....." Cheng Mo paused for a moment and said in Bengali, which he didn't know much: "???????????? .....”
Pattani didn't understand at all, turned his head to look at Cheng Mo and said, "What?"
Cheng Mo didn't expect that Patani didn't understand the Bengali he spoke, and he guessed that maybe it was because his pronunciation was inaccurate, so he said it again, "???????????? .....”
Pathani said with a little embarrassment, "Sorry, I don't actually speak Hindi very much. ”
Cheng Mo said in his heart: It is normal for North Indians to disdain to speak Hindi with a little status, but it is a little exaggerated to not be able to distinguish between Bengali and Hindi, but it is not impossible to do so, if the other party has been living abroad.
So he smiled and said: "This is Tagore's famous saying, 'Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, death is like the quiet beauty of autumn leaves', it may be that I don't speak Bengali authentically, so you didn't understand it!"
How did Pattani know that although the opponent she was facing was not very old, he was a cunning and sharp fox, "It turned out to be the verses of the poet Tagore, do you like Tagore too?"
Cheng Mo nodded, "Well, I like it very much, in fact, Tagore has a very deep relationship with our Huaxia, he has visited our country three times, and our Chinese poet Xu Zhimo and other like-minded people have established a deep friendship, our Chinese great writer Liang Qichao also gave him a Chinese name - Zhu Aurora ....."
"Zhu-Zhen-Dan?" Patani repeated in imitation of Chinese with a full circle of silent characters, but the "Zhu Aurora" that came out of her mouth was even more funny than what Cheng Mo said.
Cheng Mo explained: "We Chinese people call you Tianzhu, and you call us Aurora, so Liang Qichao gave Mr. Tagore a name called Zhu Aurora. ”
"Zhu-Zhen-Dan, that's a meaningful name! and it's pretty nice!" said Pattani with a smile.
Cheng Mo didn't know how to talk about it, in fact, he felt that the Chinese name that Liang Qichao gave Tagore was really terrible, but now was not the time to complain about this, he parked the battery car on the side of the road in front of the Mythical Square, and said noncommittally: "Yes, it's not bad." ”
After saying that, he got out of the car, turned his head and said to Patani: "Let's take a look here....." At the same time, Cheng Mo also sent a message to Shen Mengjie, telling her to get ready.
