Lady(1)
Cheng Yifei would occasionally take me out to eat.
I learned to eat Western food, which was taught by Cheng Yifei.
In a high-end western restaurant. The western restaurant is decorated with indescribable romance, with rows of red candles flashing along the walls, and the fire is weak and full of confusion. The atmosphere of the western restaurant is very good, the environment is elegant, the light and soft background music, if there is nothing, the melody that floats sporadically, like water droplets in the sun.
Cheng Yifei ordered two steaks, one for three ripe and one for seven ripe - three ripe is his, and seven ripe is mine.
Cheng Yifei said:
"Steaks can be divided into three ripe, four ripe, five ripe, seven ripe, and fully cooked according to the frying method. The longer the steak is fried, the tougher the meat will become, and the more protein will be destroyed, while the half-cooked, slightly bloody steak will retain the juicy and delicious meat to the maximum. ”
Cheng Yifei said again:
"When you use a knife and fork, you hold a knife in your right hand and a fork in your left hand, and when you cut a steak, you hold it down with a fork in your left hand, and you hold it down with a knife in your right hand to cut the saw into small pieces, and then use the fork to put it in your mouth. Remember, knives should never be fed into the mouth, only with a fork. Also, when eating, sit upright, don't lean too forward, and don't put your arms across the table, because if there are people around, they will collide with others. ”
"If you want to put down your knife and fork for a break in the middle of eating, place your knife and fork in the center of the plate in a figure-eight shape. If the knife and fork protrude to the outside of the plate, it is not safe and does not look good. It is most taboo to wave a knife and fork while talking, which is a faux pas. After eating, position the cutlery in a four-o'clock direction. ”
I muttered in a low voice:
"Eat a Western food, why are there so many rules?"
Cheng Yifei glanced at me:
"It's etiquette, you have to understand it. I don't want you to embarrass me when I take you out. ”
I want to say, I didn't let you take me out - I only dared to think, not to speak. Cheng Yifei is not an ordinary person, he has an indifferent and noble temperament that does not belong to the public, his eyes are deep, his face is cold, arrogant, domineering, unattainable, and he has a domineering demeanor.
In the face of Cheng Yifei, I was only timid and submissive. In the end, I'm inferior to him - ah no, it's not that I'm inferior to him, it's that I'm inferior to him.
Cheng Yifei said again:
"My female companion, be like a lady - if not yet, pretend. ”
I was a little confused and stammered:
"Female ...... Female companion?"
Cheng Yifei understated it, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him:
"People outside are spreading that you're my new girlfriend. ”
I was stunned and opened my mouth wide:
"What?"
I was so frightened that I hurriedly said:
"You sue them, I...... I'm not your new girlfriend. ”
Cheng Yifei's voice was faint:
"Why should I say that?"
I muttered:
"This ...... Isn't that okay?"
Cheng Yifei asked:
"Why is it bad? I don't have anything to lose when others say something else's. ”
I say:
"But ......"
Cheng Yifei lowered his head to eat the steak and ignored me anymore - the three mature steaks were just cooked on the surface, and there were pink gravy oozing out after cutting, and the meat looked very tender, but it was terrifying.
Cheng Yifei didn't speak, so I naturally didn't dare to speak, and I bowed my head to eat the steak - fortunately, Cheng Yifei ordered me a seven-ripe steak. I ate the steak while thinking about what Cheng Yifei had just said, "My female companion should be like a lady - even if it is not, she must pretend." What do you mean?
Lady, eternal smile, magnetic voice, elegant and moving conversation, otherworldly noble temperament, graceful and elegant and unhurried charm, refreshing as the breeze, bright as the bright moon.
The question is, can I be a lady?
Lady, it's not that you can do it if you want to. It's not that you can pretend if you want to.
