I'd rather be a wildflower under a hedge than a blessed rose. Rather than flattering and stealing the favor of others, it is better to be despised by everyone. - Shakespeare, "Nothing to Worry About Anything"

———————————————————

Cheng Mo stopped at the dining table covered with a white lace tablecloth, and the waiter standing inside the rectangle mixed with the surrounding circle quickly handed him plates and forks.

Cheng Mo took the cutlery from the waiter in the shirt and vest, thanked him, and began to linger among the many fruits, vegetables and various cold dishes that dazzled him.

At this moment, almost everyone was at the edge of the lawn to enjoy the talent show they brought, only Cheng Mo stood alone in front of the long white dining table, so he was particularly eye-catching, but fortunately, everyone was watching the performance, and no one paid attention to this direction.

If it were a different person, he would definitely not do this, after all, it was not very polite and a little embarrassing to be seen, but for Cheng Mo, he never cared about any eyes, this was a relaxing time period.

However, Xie Minyun, the initiator who got him, did not let him happily wander around the dining table alone.

When Xie Minyun walked into the crowd from the piano, she saw Cheng Mo standing next to the laurel tree, just now she had been looking for the thin figure that she used as an excuse, but she never found it, and now that she saw him, she naturally stepped forward to explore, why he agreed to Du Leng's invitation, why did the grandfather look at this child differently.

In Xie Minyun's senses, a person like Cheng Mo should be a conceited and proud ghost, how could he agree to Du Leng's invitation?

Xie Minyun didn't care that Du Leng was playing violin music at the moment, and quietly walked around to the edge of the crowd in Du Leng's sight, and walked to the dining table in the middle of the lawn, and at this time, Tong Tong, who had unkempt hair, was also gritting his teeth and walking towards Cheng Mo.

Thus, the wheel of fate begins to spin silently, and each protagonist throws an unpredictable future at God.

But at this moment, in anyone's eyes, it's just a trivial matter, not even as important as a steak at the table or a cocktail at the bar.

As everyone knows, our lives are pieced together by these fragments.

It's just that mortals always ignore those subtle details that are difficult to detect, thinking that this is the so-called fate.

Xie Minyun approached the table, took the white porcelain plate and silver tableware from the waiter's hand, her white arms were shining as well as the tableware in the sun, Xie Minyun could see that Cheng Mo's plate was filled with green papaya, avocado, a little German-style tuna salad and a piece of collection-grade Iberian ham, she didn't turn her head and said lightly: "With fruit, Serrano ham and Italian prosciutto, I have never seen anyone match Iberian ham like this." .....”

Cheng Mo had already memorized Xie Minyun's highly recognizable voice through the song "Beauty and the Beast" just now, so he didn't look at Xie Minyun, just said "oh", and then said: "Thank you for your advice, but what you care about is the taste, what I care about is balance, saturated fatty acids will greatly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease..."

"Feel free to do as you please!" Xie Minyun didn't think that a small slice of ham could cause much damage to her body, she thought it was just Cheng Mo forcibly defending herself.

Of course, in fact, although Cheng Mo guessed that the plate was Iberian ham, he really didn't know how to eat this expensive thing, but he just considered that no matter how expensive, Delicious, this kind of pickled fat can't be eaten too much, but since they are all here, he still has to taste the legendary Iberian ham, after all, he himself is reluctant to buy a whole piece of 1,500 to 2,000 euros of archival Iberian ham, so he asked the waiter to cut a small slice and pair himself with fruit that can neutralize saturated fatty acids.

Xie Minyun straightened her body, lifted the plate, gestured to the waiter, picked up the wooden tongs, put several slices of salmon on her plate, and said in a flat tone: "I originally guessed that you wouldn't come." ”

Cheng Mo also responded in a flat tone: "Why don't you come here if you eat, drink, and take." I'm neither stupid nor high-minded. ”

Xie Minyun raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, then you should thank me." ”

Cheng Mo said casually: "I really have to thank you, if it weren't for you, I don't think I would have been able to earn 10,000 yuan so easily." ”

Xie Minyun frowned and said, "Ten thousand yuan? What do you mean?"

Cheng Mo pretended to be surprised and showed a slight smugness and said, "Oh, you don't know? Didn't Senior Du Leng tell you? In order to invite me to come, he not only went to our class to visit the thatched house in person, but also promised to give me 10,000 yuan as long as I came...... Or cash ....."

As a supporting role, you must have the consciousness of setting off the protagonist, and as a trick, you must start the expensive lunch box in your hand.

Cheng Mo is well aware of his role.

Xie Minyun didn't expect Cheng Mo to come for this reason at all, she didn't fail to understand that 10,000 yuan is a huge amount for ordinary students, but this is completely different from what she imagined Cheng Mo, in her mind, Cheng Mo should be like Cheng Yongze, a great talent who learns five cars, travels through heaven and earth, and does not eat fireworks in the world, and is definitely not a person who will bend his waist for five buckets of rice.

The reason why Xie Minyun became interested in Cheng Mo was, firstly, Cheng Mo was highly praised by her grandfather, and in her heart, her grandfather Wang Shanhai was the person she respected the most;

However, the person in front of her seemed to be completely different from her imagination, making her feel that Cheng Mo was not worthy of her grandfather's attention at all, nor was he worthy of being the son of Yongze, the tiger father.

Xie Minyun said in his heart: It's too early to draw conclusions at this moment, you have to test it a little longer, Xie Minyun was about to speak, when a crisp voice like a yellow bird sounded and said: "Senior Sister Minyun, I haven't seen ..... for a long time."

Xie Minyun looked up and saw a girl with fluffy hair and black-rimmed glasses standing on the other side of Cheng Mo, looked at it carefully, and couldn't remember who the other party was at all, so she could only say suspiciously: "You..... You are ....."

Tong Tong smiled sweetly, winked at Xie Minyun and said, "I'm Yan Yitong...."

Xie Minyun froze for a moment when he heard this name, recalled carefully, and then said with some surprise: "You are Yan Funing's sister?"

Tong Tong smiled and nodded, "Yes!"

The Xie family and the Yan family are not friends in the world, but the relationship is okay, but Yan Yitong in her memory is not so ordinary and ..... Jumping out, she remembered that Yan Yitong was a quiet, well-behaved and delicate little girl when she was a child, but she didn't expect to grow up but become far less good-looking than when she was a child, she smiled slightly and said: "Long time no see, I remember seeing you and your brother at Mrs. Yan's house in Beijing when I was in elementary school..... Is your brother okay now?"

Yan Yitong shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's not the same as before, studying as a graduate student at Imperial College London...."

Cheng Mo saw that the two of them were greeting each other, and he took the opportunity to turn around and wanted to leave this place of right and wrong, but he didn't expect any Tong Tong who didn't know him, and said happily with his arm: "Senior Sister Min Yun also knows this kid.....?

Cheng Mo has been weak since he was a child, and he has a fork and a plate in his hand, so he didn't dare to break free from Yan Yitong's claws, so he could only frown and turn his head to look at Yan Yitong and say, "I don't know you, what are you holding me for?"

Yan Yitong pretended to be cute and coquettishly said: "But I know you! Why are you so stingy, you don't have a gentlemanly demeanor at all." ”

Xie Minyun also moved her eyes to Cheng Mo, she never thought that Cheng Mo would actually have an intersection with Yan Funing's sister Yan Yitong, as for Yan Yitong just now that Cheng Mo heard the words of singing and devotion, she didn't take it to heart, and not devoting was a problem with appreciation and taste.

Cheng Mo's understanding of women is still one-sided and superficial, learning from TV dramas and novels, the disgusting and crazy look said: "What is a gentleman? What is a villain? Virtue is greater than talent is a gentleman, and only virtue is a villain." I am a talented person, and it is far impossible for virtue to match talent, so I can only be a villain..... Questions?"

It's a pity that Cheng Mo understands everything, but he doesn't understand women's minds very well, when a man exaggerates, he will naturally be disgusted by women, and when this man is true, his arrogance is admirable arrogance.

When Yan Yitong heard Cheng Mo's words, he also pretended to smile contemptuously and said, "Yo! "Zizhi Tongjian" has come out! Since you are embarrassed to say that you are talented, how about I test you?"

Cheng Mo turned his head and said, "Boring." ”

At this time, Yan Yitong caught a glimpse of Du Leng and Cheng Xiao also coming over, so he raised his voice slightly and said, "You see that you don't have a talent show, isn't it good to give you a chance to show off in your sweetheart?"

Cheng Mo looked down at Yan Yitong and pulled his arm tightly with one hand, obviously not going to let him go so easily, he didn't know when he offended this devil-like girl, but he really didn't know how to deal with the entanglement of women, this was the first time in his sixteen years of life, as for the experience provided to him by the carrier state, it was not applicable at the moment, because he was in the carrier state, as long as he glanced at those women, those women would be crisp, and he would be so shameless and chattering, seeing that Du Leng and Cheng Xiao were also coming, so Cheng Mo, who had no other way, could only ask: "Do you want to let go of the answer?"

Yan Yitong smiled slyly and said, "Let go when you answer..... Can't answer..... I don't embarrass you, just answer a question until you answer it..... I don't think you're stupid enough to be able to answer a single question, right?"

Cheng Mo said coldly: "You have a question." Since then, a list of people who must be avoided has been added to his list.

At this time, Du Leng, who had already approached the three of them, interjected and said, "Why are you talking so happily?"

Yan Yitong showed a harmless smile and said: "Cheng Mo boasted in front of Senior Sister Min Yun that he was talented, talented and rich..... I think I should give him this opportunity to show himself in front of his sweetheart, so I plan to test him. ”

Du Leng glanced at Cheng Mo, didn't show an expression of mind, and was about to speak, but heard Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun say in unison: "Don't take him (her) and ......"

The two heard each other's voices and stopped talking at the same time, if the unanimous speech at the beginning was a coincidence, then now the sentence is broken at the same time, it cannot but be said to be a tacit understanding.

Du Leng didn't take Yan Yitong's quirky little girl's words to heart, but at this moment, he couldn't help but look at Cheng Mo, who was a baby-faced, and Xie Minyun, who was standing side by side with him, when he saw that Xie Minyun was a little taller than Cheng Mo, and the two of them didn't make eye contact, he said in his heart: I also think a little too much, and no one can fall in love with this little kid.

So Du Leng smiled slightly to break the embarrassment that the two of them were already not good at talking, and said: "Since this is the case, then give a chance, Tong Tong will answer the question, and we will all participate in answering it.... Anyway, I have a little bit of experience in answering questions!"

And Cheng Xiao, who was smiling and smiling beside Du Leng, was looking at Yan Yitong and Cheng Mo left and right with great interest at the moment, these two people are somewhat similar in appearance today, they are also dressed very casually, and they are also wearing black-framed glasses, but the sharp-eyed Cheng Xiao can see at a glance that Cheng Mo is really ordinary, and Tong Tong on the side is disguised.

Cheng Xiao is curious about why Tong Tong must involve Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun, obviously the two of them don't seem to be compatible, although she is not a person who likes to judge people by their appearance, as a person in the entertainment industry, she has also seen too many handsome guys and handsome men, and she actually has no feelings for the handsome ones, but the gap between Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun is really too big, the key is not to match.

Cheng Xiao was observing Cheng Mo and Yan Yitong, and when he saw Du Leng saying that everyone was involved in answering the question, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I'm not the best at this, don't count me, just answer it, I'll just listen......"

Du sneered: "It doesn't matter if it's counted or not, Tong Tong's question, I guess no one can answer it..... This girl is usually very tricky.... If you really want to deliberately embarrass people, it is estimated that the person who is embarrassed will vomit three liters of blood....."

Yan Yitong said: "Brother Du, don't ruin your reputation, my Tong Tong has always been anxious for justice and righteousness, well-behaved and clever, when did you get tricky?"

Du Leng waved his hands helplessly and said, "Okay! I was wrong, please forgive Miss Tong Tong..."

Yan Yitong grabbed Cheng Mo's arm and said in a strange and deep voice: "Then listen, I'll ask the first question, one day, Jun A suddenly received a secret letter, which read: At noon tonight, we will meet in the church in the suburbs. When he looked up and saw the dome of the church and the crescent moon, he heard footsteps behind him, and as soon as he turned around, he was knocked to the ground. The next day, he was found dead. ”

Yan Yitong paused for a moment and said, "Then the question is! Did Mr. A vote for Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the presidential election?"
