I opened the car door and got out of the car. Ye Ning looked up at the largest hotel in Dragon City, towering into the clouds, the lights were bright, and it was full of luxury from a distance. "How much does this meal cost?" Ye Ning thought and walked into the hotel.

Ye Ning came to the No. 666 private room, and when he went in, he saw that only Yang Ling was there. Ye Ning wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the words that had been thought out in his mind suddenly disappeared, and he didn't know what to say. Yang Ling also saw that this Ye Ning was a social phobia: "Sit and sit, order what you want to eat first, I have already ordered some, and the other two team members should be there in a while." ”

Ye Ning looked at the sky-high menu above, and a dish could easily be a few hundred smaller. Ye Ning's eyes widened and he gasped, the menu kept flipping, but not a word was written on the recipe.

After a knock on the door, a young man dressed in green pushed open the door and asked, "Excuse me, are you students of the First Military Middle School?" ”

"That's right, it's this private room, come on, sit down, Ye Ning has a menu there, you go and order some food together." Yang Ling stood up and greeted him like a hostess.

The man sat next to Ye Ning and said, "Hello, my name is Zhou Chen, if you guess correctly, you should be Yang Ling." After speaking, Zhou Chen looked at Ye Ning and stared at it for a long time, Ye Ning didn't know what to say, so he pushed the menu directly to him.

Zhou Chen also realized his faux pas, lowered his head and looked at the menu, he was also stunned, and leaked a surprised expression. Ye Ning watched with a smile on his face as Zhou Chen flipped through the menu, but he didn't even put pen to paper.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor, and when I arrived at the door of the private room, I stopped, and the door was pushed open by a hand from the visitor: "Aha, I'm coming!" "The man was dressed in white and his hair was a little unkempt.

"Shhh, keep your voice quiet, don't affect the people in the other private rooms, come on, sit down and order." Yang Ling still greeted warmly.

As soon as Ma Jiao sat down, Zhou Chen pushed the menu to him: "Brother Ma Jiao, you can order food." Ma Jiao took the menu, leaked a surprised expression, and said randomly: "I! Shyness in the bag. ”

"Forget it, I'll do it." Yang Ling snatched the menu, drew a few times with the comparison outline, and sent it to the front desk. After coming back, he said, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Yang Ling, and I have a water attribute ability. ”

"Ye Ning, fire attribute."

"My name is Zhou Chen, and I have a wind-type ability."

"My name is Ma Jiao! Electro. ”

Yang Ling continued: "I heard my mother say that after joining the army, the group of four of us will act together in the future, so it is better for everyone to exchange their hobbies, dreams, etc., and get to know each other." ”

"Good!" Ma Jiao patted the table and said in an impassioned tone, "Then I'll take the lead!" My hobby and my dream is to be a hero! Protect your friends! Defend your teammates! Protect humanity! ”

"To be a hero? Why do you have such dreams? Yang Ling asked suspiciously.

"My parents, they are heroes! How great it is to sacrifice for the protection of mankind! Since I was a child, I have been inspired to be a hero who protects mankind like my parents! This was a sad thing, but Ma Jiao said proudly with very proud words, his face was full of passion.

Obviously, Ma Jiao's ancestors have been soldiers for generations, and his parents have educated him very well, he can put the interests of mankind first, and can look down on life and death. Although for some reason the words are slightly secondary.

At this time, the waiter also began to serve fragrant food one after another. There are shredded chicken and whitebait soup, mandarin duck small hot pot, roasted cold turkey, tomato scrambled eggs, etc., which are full of aroma.

In this world, creatures mutate into demons, but only some creatures are mutated, almost all of them are from the western continent, while on the eastern continent, the domestic animals and fish raised in the city have no effect.

Everyone tacitly picked up the chopsticks and tasted the delicious food again and again, while continuing to talk.

"I don't have any lofty dreams, I just want to take one step at a time, follow my heart, and do what I want to do. I like a quiet and stable life, I don't like to fight and kill, I don't like war, I just hope that the conflict between humans and monsters can end soon. Zhou Chen put down his chopsticks, unhurried, and spoke straightforwardly.

"Ye Ning, what about you? You say it first" Yang Ling looked at Ye Ning, and Ye Ning was still a little blushing, and the language function was down again for a while.

"Don't babble, old men...... Don't be so shy" Ma Jiao's mouth was full of food, and he had to urge Ye Ning.

"I, my dream is to find out the cause of my father's death." Ye Ning said a little choked.

"Hiccup~ Say it clearly, say it clearly!" Ma Jiao took a sip of soup, burped, and then urged.

"When my mother was pregnant with me, she had a difficult birth, and I was the only one who survived, and I grew up with my father. My father was a soldier, and he never came back after a mission, but someone came to inform me that my father had died. Ye Ning's voice became more and more choked, but he never cried.

"No, when my parents died a few years ago, someone came to tell me that they died for the country, fought with the demon beast until the last moment, and told me that they were killed by the Great Peng." Ma Jiao still replied without any gaps.

"I asked many times, but no one told me, Mr. Li told me that it may be that the army can hide it for some reason, so I joined the army myself to seek answers." Ye Ning stopped choking, but was still slightly sad.

"We are now a team, rest assured, we will help you find the answer to your question, there is strength in numbers." Yang Ling's tone was gentle, and he comforted gently.

Zhou Chen patted Ye Ning on the shoulder and said calmly: "Don't worry, we will always be by your side." We'll help with your questions. ”

Ma Jiao patted his chest: "Yes, yes, yes!" Rest assured that I will not be a problem if any problem is in front of me! ”

"Well, thank you." Ye Ning's heart was full of joy, because when he was six years old, his father's sacrifice, he was adopted by Teacher Li. The classmates around him often sneered at him for not having parents, after all, children are often neither big nor small, they are outspoken, and they say whatever they want. This also created Ye Ning's withdrawn and socially phobic character.

Since then, Ye Ning rarely socialized with the classmates around him and lived alone. But it is precisely because of this that Ye Ning devoted himself to learning abilities and studied a lot of bells and whistles to play with fire. At the same time, it also shaped Ye Ning's character of being wary of everything around him.

Ye Ning has always had some love for Yang Ling, and he also has a little trust in Yang Ling, although the two of them have only known each other for a long time, but they must trust the person they like more than they do in strangers. Although Ma Jiao is very arrogant, this kind of personality will involuntarily make people feel trust and security.

And Zhou Chen, I don't know why, Ye Ning always feels that this Zhou Chen is not so simple. At least when he was just talking about dreams, he should have mixed in lies. Zhou Chen has always been in a calm tone, without the slightest emotion, like a robot, which makes Ye Ning feel less comfortable, maybe this is the reason for suspicion.

Yang Ling smiled and said: "My preference is very simple, it is to eat and eat, as for the dream, it is to destroy all those demon beasts, restore peace as soon as possible, and then continue, eat and eat." ”

"Anyway, you love to eat so much, why aren't you fat?" There is no doubt that this kind of outspoken question with low emotional intelligence can only be asked by Ma Jiao, but anyone who changes to a little emotional intelligence should ask like this: "Wow, how do you keep your figure?" ”

Yang Ling was not angry, smiled and said: "I train every day, I want to be able to gain weight, that's weird." ”

The dishes were still served one after another, eating and eating, Zhou Chen and Ye Ning soon felt that something was wrong, so many dishes, it seemed that AA, the wallet they brought out seemed to be a little thinner, and Ma Jiao, who didn't use his brain, still ate with peace of mind.

Yang Ling also organized the topic while eating, and they talked about some interesting things they encountered in their studies, happy things in life, and talked about some major events that have happened in society recently. There are talking and laughing. Ye Ning and Zhou Chen didn't smile, the two of them looked at the table of food, and their hearts were still dripping blood. Yang Ling and Ma Jiao really chatted happily.

After eating and drinking enough, and chatting for a while, it was time to go back to their respective homes. At this time, a heartless person looked at the meal in front of him and finally remembered his wallet: ", Yang Ling, how much is this meal, let's share it evenly." ”

"It's okay, I'm going to ask you." Yang Ling still had a bright smile on her face, and she was really happy to chat.

"How can this work, as a hero, how can you let the girl come to the checkout payment!" Although Ma Jiao was also very distressed, he still spoke "happily", painfully and happily.

"No, no, this is my family's meal, you don't have to pay for it, you can come to me directly if you want to eat in the future."

Yang Ling sent the three people out of the hotel, and under the protection of the rich woman, the shy wallets of the three people were finally saved. When they parted, Yang Ling asked the three of them what their plans were for the summer vacation. Yang Ling plans to continue to help his parents do some work in the hotel.

"If nothing else, I should accompany my parents more, help them take care of the supermarket, these four years of compulsory military service, only one month of vacation in the summer vacation a year" Zhou Chen still said directly without emotion.

"I'm bored, I go to the streets every day, and when I can, I do chivalrous deeds and do good deeds." Ma Jiao said, "Hey, by the way, the two of us are in a similar situation, why don't we build a team and play together in the summer vacation?" ”

Although the students are on vacation during the summer vacation, Mr. Li does not have to teach, but after all, Mr. Li is also an A-level, a person in the army, not to mention the summer vacation, basically every year. Under normal circumstances, Ye Ning was also at home alone, and he was bored, so he agreed to Ma Jiao. A few of them went home.
