Bodyguard of the Goddess

The night scene is pleasant, and the bright stars are dotted on the two of them, like a beautiful picture only in a good movie. The slightly cool river wind blows in, but Lan Xin, who should feel comfortable, feels her delicate body tense, fine beads of sweat ooze from her palms, and she feels very cramped. Even the gentle eyes looking at Xiao Zheng were slightly dodged, not daring to look directly.

On the other hand, Xiao Zheng, when faced with Lan Xin's unintentional remarks, he didn't hide anything on his face, he grinned calmly, "I can't afford a boat ticket with the money in my pocket."

Not everyone has the ability to pay for a thousand yuan ticket. Xiao Zheng, who was sitting and eating, had already spent all his savings, not to mention buying a boat ticket, he had to take it easy even when he went to a restaurant, for fear that he would not be able to make it to his salary.

He spoke lightly, saw clearly, and didn't feel embarrassed at all. But it made Lan Xin feel sad for a while. In her eyes, there are only two kinds of men in this world who don't care about face and dignity, one is mentally handicapped with low EQ, and the other is the man who is tortured by cruel reality and accepts his fate. Even if it is the latter, when there is room for struggle, they don't want to be looked down upon easily.

But what about Xiao Zheng?

He didn't even have the mood to hide it, and frankly revealed the truth with a calm expression on his face.

Is this still the little overlord from Pearl No. 1 Middle School?

Lan Xin was very distressed. But she didn't dare to show the slightest expression on her pretty face, she suppressed her discomfort and said with a smile: "I don't think you don't have money to buy a ticket, but you think you can enjoy the big beauties coming in and out by sitting here."

Xiao Zheng didn't explain, snapped his fingers and said, "According to my research for half an hour, there are quite a few beauties on Pearl One."

Lan Xin stroked the black hair beside her ear, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Let's go up."

Xiao Zheng nodded, and followed Lan Xin to Pearl No. 1, which made ordinary citizens daunted. Although the intention was not obvious, it was quickly noticed by Lan Xin, who had unique insight. Xiao Zheng's pace was obviously a little slower by half a beat. It's not respect for Lan Xin, it's just a habit of dwarves.

The ground floor of Pearl One is the restaurant with the largest capacity. There are booths and boxes, and the consumption level varies with different geographical locations. But when it comes to dishes and services, they are all at the most cutting-edge level in Pearl. The minimum consumption for a four-seater dining table with a view of the gorgeous night view by the window is 8,888, not including drinks. However, there are basically tens of thousands of boxes with a pleasant environment and better viewing angles, and there is no minimum consumption.

In addition to the seafood restaurant that occupies half of the layout on the first floor, there are also leisure places such as tea houses, coffee shops, and massage parlors with elegant environments. It is suitable for sobering up after eating and drinking. Xiao Zheng originally thought that he would have dinner at an atmospheric and luxurious seafood restaurant, but unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the first floor, a grandly dressed lobby manager walked towards the two of them.

"Mr. Lan, the seat has been prepared for you. Would you like to go up to eat directly, or go for a while first?"

Lan Xin turned around and asked Xiao Zheng, "Are you hungry?"

Xiao nodded and said: "The chest is already attached to the back."

"Then let's go eat first." After Lan Xin said, she was led straight to the third floor by the lobby manager.

On the second floor, there are wonderful acrobatic performances and hot beauty shows that men love to watch. These are provided free of charge to guests, and it is worth the expensive one thousand tickets. The third floor is a higher-grade and more quiet restaurant. It has the same floor area as the first floor, but the number of guests it can accommodate has been reduced by more than half. Cuisine is more extensive to all over the world. The first floor is mainly airfreight seafood. The back kitchen on the third floor gathers chefs from all over the world. As long as you can think of it, the back kitchen will definitely be able to do it. Basically, it can meet all the needs of customers.

When the lobby manager led Lan Xin, an important guest, to the deck with the most transparent view, Xiao Zheng finally had an embarrassed smile on his lips.

This battle is too big, right?

The restaurant area on the third floor is already a place of great value, and it would be expensive to book a table at will, let alone on this deck where there is only one table?

This deck is not a simple deck of a fishing boat, but a top dining seat with extremely luxurious decoration and shining stars. Standing here, you can not only overlook the sparkling river, but also have a glimpse of the night view of the Pearl on the shore. Spacious and airy, elegant surroundings. It can be described as the most expensive seat on the third floor.

On the dining table was a tablecloth of silky material, and two softly lit white candles. Even the dining chair is finely crafted, as soon as you sit on it, it feels soft and extremely comfortable.

After the two were seated, two elegant ladies in cheongsams came with red wine, poured half a glass into the expensive goblet, and then stood on both sides, waiting for the orders of the guests.

Faced with this high-standard dining environment, Lan Xin, who was used to seeing big scenes, took it for granted, but she was somewhat worried that Xiao Zheng, who lived at the bottom of society, would not adapt, and she didn't dare to make up her own mind. She just asked softly: "I I don't know what you like to eat, so I chose this place, there are all kinds of dishes here, you can see what you want to eat."

While talking, a cheongsam girl standing next to her came over with a menu. But the moment Xiao Zheng received the menu, Lan Xin suddenly realized a serious problem.

There is no Chinese in the recipes at all, except for English, the most common is French. Basically, the accompanying text is made according to the popularity of the cuisine. The style is so high that many customers may not be able to order food skillfully even if they are rich. Lan Xin believes that with Xiao Zheng's English level, it's not a big problem to order ordinary dishes, but if you order French dishes and Japanese dishes, there is a risk of being illiterate.

Therefore, as soon as Xiao Zhengfu took the recipe, she immediately opened the recipe, and said kindly: "Actually, we Chinese people have relatively specific tastes, and we are not used to those messy cuisines at all."

Due to work needs, Lan Xin has systematically studied most mainstream languages. Even if it does not reach a high level, there is no problem with normal communication or recognition. But as she spoke, she ordered a few dishes marked in English for herself. It was a good start for Xiao Zheng, preventing Xiao Zheng from being illiterate and getting into embarrassment.

"When you come to eat in such a high-end restaurant, how can you order some dishes that can be eaten in ordinary restaurants?" Xiao Zheng flipped through a few pages of recipes, and casually mentioned a few dishes that are not well-known but are highly sought after by senior gourmets. French, Australian, including South African, you name it. They also speak standard national languages. One of the famous dishes in South Africa makes even the blue heart linger. A look of surprise flashed across the soft and pretty face, and she closed the menu and said, "Then I'll order the same as you."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the cheongsam girl to take back the menu and deliver the order.

After the cheongsam girl left, Lan Xin also invited another girl away, creating a quiet and beautiful world for two. She took a sip of the fine wine, stroked her hair that was blown by the river wind, and asked with soft and hazy eyes: "How can you speak the languages ​​of so many countries? And judging from your pronunciation, at least it meets the international standard , have you studied systematically?"

Xiao Zheng smiled without showing any restraint: "It's not considered systematic, I just learn a few sentences when I have the opportunity. Maybe I'm still a bit talented in language, and it's not too difficult to learn."

"Ordinary people don't spend time learning so many languages." Lan Xin asked curiously, as if she had taken off the noble coat of Xinao CFO, revealing the attitude of a little girl. "What did you do before joining ENN?"

"I did everything. When I first came out of the society, I moved bricks and ash buckets on the construction site. Later, I gradually gained work experience, and then I did some light jobs. But speaking of it, most of the time I still Relying on physical strength to make a living is not worth mentioning." Xiao Zheng said with a relaxed face.

Xiao Zheng wasn't lying, he had just been out of the army, and he had indeed worked on a construction site. Later, when he went abroad, all he did was put his head on the waistband of his trousers and died. Not to mention relying on physical strength, but also relying on courage. It can be seen from a pair of rough palms full of calluses that Xiao Zheng has never had an easy life these years.

Listening to Xiao Zheng's rambling talk, Lan Xin felt bitter. But he tried his best to suppress it, raised his eyes and asked, "Then do you still keep in touch with your former classmates? As far as I know, our alumni of the No. 1 Middle School have produced a lot of talents."

Xiao Zhengniu drank half a glass of red wine, breathed out a foul breath and said, "I'm a bad student who dropped out of school halfway. I'm afraid they won't have time to hide from me. Who would take the initiative to contact me?"

Lan Xin said emotionally: "Who said dropping out of school is a bad student? Everyone should have the right to choose."

Xiao Zheng was slightly taken aback, and wondered: "Boss Lan. Could it be that you also dropped out of school halfway? If I accidentally uncovered your scar, I sincerely apologize to you."

After all, he raised his glass and drank it heartily.

"Good wine!"

After Xiao Zheng returned to China, he has been living a life of poverty and poverty. Not to mention this kind of high-end red wine that costs tens of thousands of yuan a bottle, even if it is a low-quality foreign wine that costs hundreds of yuan a bottle, he is not willing to drink it a few times. Now that Bai Fumei treats guests, he naturally wants to eat and drink to his heart's content.

She poured herself a full glass happily, but Lan Xin, who was watching from the side, said softly, "Drinking on an empty stomach is not good for your health. I'll accompany you to get drunk when the food is served."

Xiao Zheng had a strange expression, looked at Lan Xin slightly confused, and finally asked cautiously: "Boss Lan, have we met before?"

Lan Xinmei's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "You remember me?"

Xiao Zheng shook his head in confusion: "I don't remember. But I think you look familiar, maybe we have met somewhere?"

Lan Xin couldn't hide the turmoil in her chest, Yu'er held the wine glass tightly in her hands, and said with burning eyes: "Think about it again, my name is Lan Xin!"

Xiao Zheng said awkwardly: "Boss Lan. Of course I know your name is Lan Xin. But——I still have a feeling of deja vu on your appearance. But I really can't remember the name."

Lan Xin was a little bit disappointed, but she didn't blame Xiao Zheng for being so strange to her, let alone a man of high school like him, even many unknown classmates, after seeing her, it was hard to think of him in high school. blue heart. At that time, she was low-key and ordinary, and even her outstanding academic performance was submerged in the experimental class full of top students. There is no trace.

But because of this, Lan Xin finally made up her mind to tell the whole story.

She couldn't bear the torture of being acquainted with Xiao Zheng, and she didn't want to deceive the man she had sworn to love for the rest of her life. The psychological quality honed in the mall could not allow her to face Xiao Zheng with ease, and the heart surges again and again made her at a loss, and every word she said seemed to burn her soul.

She was fed up with hiding, and tired of pretending, even if it was just for a day, it made her physically and mentally exhausted.

Seven years of waiting was exchanged for an unexpected reunion. Isn't this God's nostalgia for her?

Lan Xin raised her head and drank the red wine, an intoxicating blush quickly appeared on her pretty face, and she was about to muster up the courage to tell Xiao Zheng everything when a baritone voice with a hint of sarcasm floated quietly from afar.

"Boss Lan. You expect a man who hangs out with my little sister all day to think of you? It's not an exaggeration to say that even if he says he thinks of you, he probably has ulterior motives. Instead of really remembering who you are and what you have done for me Everything he gave."
