Men and women eating in the courtyard

"When did you come?"

Gu Ning walked into the living room and put the bag in her hand on the cabinet at the door.

Li Xuewu was sitting on the sofa near the door. When he saw Gu Ning entering the room, he pinched the cigarette butt in his hand.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been here.”

Gu Ning changed her slippers and walked in, but she saw Zhou Yamei wiping her tears and trying hard to collect her emotions when she entered the room.

What's going on here?

She looked at Li Xuewu suspiciously. Her mind was already a little confused, and her face turned cold when she saw this scene.

But seeing Li Xuewu's calmness and Zhou Yamei's silence, Gu Ning knew that he was overthinking.

Li Xuewu didn't explain, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, continuing to remain silent.

It wasn't until Gu Ning walked to the sofa and sat down next to Zhou Yamei that Zhou Yamei covered her face and cried.

Gu Ning seemed to have guessed something. When Li Xuewu came here, the only thing that could make Zhou Yamei cry was just such a piece of news.

She was not very good at comforting people, so she could only pat Zhou Yamei's back gently.

Zhou Yamei just cried softly. The string that had been tight for many days was suddenly broken, and she couldn't bear it.

It was unbearable to have an emotional breakdown, even if Zhou Yamei didn't want Gu Ning to worry about herself.

Li Xuewu didn't take the initiative to tell the news when he came, but Zhou Yamei saw it himself.

This woman was a professional. Li Xuewu knew he couldn't hide it from her, so he didn't want to hide it.

The last time she met Fu Haibo, she knew the approximate prison term. This time, she noticed when Li Xuewu came to visit.

I cried without asking a word, not wailing, just choking and sobbing.

Li Xuewu knew that coaxing was not going to work, so he didn't speak. He just sat silently on the sofa smoking and drinking tea.

Gu Ning looked at Zhou Yamei and then at Li Xuewu, but Li Xuewu nodded silently.

After sitting for a while, there was movement from upstairs, and the sound of stepping on the stairs broke the sadness in the living room. Zhou Yamei gritted her teeth and endured the crying.

"Mom~"

Perhaps he was a little dazed from sleep. Fu Zhidong came down from upstairs, stood at the corner of the stairs, looked at the living room and let out a dull cry.

"wake up?"

Li Xuewu stood up on his own initiative and walked towards Fu Zhidong.

"uncle"

"Haha, when you first came here, your mother said you were sleeping."

Li Xuewu walked up the stairs and flicked Fu Zhidong's head. Seeing the child's eyes on him, he took him upstairs again.

Fu Zhidong glanced at the living room, followed Li Xuewu to the second floor, raised his face and asked, "What's wrong with mom?"

"You know"

Li Xuewu pursed his lips and said with a helpless expression: "Women are like this sometimes, because they can cry in a novel and be sentimental."

Fu Zhidong had just woken up, and his little head was still slow to react. He nodded along with Li Xuewu's words and said, "Oh~ it's not the first time."

"Haha, I understand."

Li Xuewu patted Fu Zhidong's small shoulder and said to this adult-like child: "This is a woman's right."

"Ok, I know"

Fu Zhidong nodded clearly, then followed Li Xuewu into the study with his slippers. Seeing his uncle sorting things, he sat down on the armchair behind the desk.

"Uncle, you haven't been here for several days."

"Really"

Li Xuewu turned his head and looked at Fu Zhidong. At this moment, the child was dangling his calves. Because his body was not long enough, he was sitting on the armchair like a Ge You lying down.

"Haha, I'm a little busy at work, how about you?"

"Me too"

Fu Zhidong nodded understandingly, sighed, and said, "After finishing my kindergarten homework, I still have to learn foreign languages ​​from my mother, and I have to learn piano from my aunt at night, so I'm a little tired."

"Don't you like it?"

Li Xuewu stood by the bookshelf and said, "Then tell your mother to study less."

Fu Zhidong yawned again and said with some hesitation: "Let's forget it. Yanni in our class can speak Russian, so I have to speak Russian too."

As he spoke, he looked at his uncle who was sorting the bookshelf and asked, "Uncle, do you know foreign languages?"

"A little bit"

Li Xuewu was chatting with Fu Zhidong while putting the collected books on the bookshelf.

Today's books are not as abundant as in later generations. They can be said to be very precious.

There are very few pirated copies and every book is genuine.

It's just that there are some differences between this version and later versions.

"What foreign languages ​​do you speak?"

Fu Zhidong is a child at heart. When he learns new knowledge, he wants to show off to those close to him, or even compare with him.

"My mother is teaching me English. She can speak four foreign languages."

"Then your mother is still awesome."

Li Xuewu smiled and replied: "I only know two skills."

"Wow!"

Fu Zhidong was surprised as if he had never seen the world before, which made Li Xuewu dumbfounded.

He said that his mother knew four languages, but he said that he knew two languages, which seemed a bit false.

Fu Zhidong was not embarrassed. He slid down from the chair, walked to Li Xuewu, raised his face and asked, "Uncle, which two disciplines do you know?"

"Russian and English"

Li Xuewu maintained a respectful attitude when talking to children and did not treat them as children, so Li Xuewu was very popular with children.

Li Xuewu knew that Zhou Yamei knew four foreign languages. She did not study abroad, nor did she have foreigners in her family, but she was a product of the times.

The education system in Zhou Yamei's city has gone through several reforms, from Japanese and Korean, to English, and then to Russian.

She has a good family environment and a good education environment since she was a child, so she has caught up with these changes in learning.

What's amazing is that Zhou Yamei is very talented in learning. Although he can't be said to be proficient, he is still successful.

In addition, she got married after graduation and has been taking care of her children at home these years, so she has not fallen behind in her studies.

Li Xuewu admires people who study well, so he still maintains his enthusiasm for learning.

If you don’t have enough talent, you have to work hard to make it happen.

The books on the bookshelf were bought by him from the market, or they were sorted out by Lao Biaozi and others when they were clearing away the rags.

It's not that they built a bookshelf to create an academic atmosphere, but that both Gu Ning and Zhou Yamei prefer reading.

After getting married, he also wants to read for a while at night.

“Yanny speaks Russian”

When Fu Zhidong saw Li Xuewu squatting down, he also squatted down and said, "She speaks Russian and it's not easy to learn. Her grandfather just taught her pronunciation."

"What about you, do you remember the letters?"

After Li Xuewu finished packing, he turned around and did not regard the child as a hindrance. He put away the boxes on the ground while talking.

"Oh~ it's okay"

Fu Zhidong didn't know whether he had learned it or not, but he sighed seriously.

That's how it is when chatting with children. Maybe they will say something to you, which is as imaginative as it is childlike.

Li Xuewu tidied up the study and took a look with his hands on his hips. The bookshelves were full. He had put some books in the cabinet below, which Gu Ning and the others had read.

Fu Zhidong also followed Li Xuewu's example and crossed his arms, looking at the bookshelf that was much higher than him.

Seeing that Li Xuewu didn't speak, Fu Zhidong turned around and asked, "Uncle, do you want to eat here today?"

"Won't"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm going to take your aunt out to eat, a romantic world for two."

"romantic!?"

Fu Zhidong was surprised. He didn't pay attention to the meaning of the world between two people.

"Romantic, the English you learn, the Chinese version is romantic"

Li Xuewu explained with a smile and asked: "Do you know what marriage means?"

"Probably know"

Fu Zhidong nodded and said, "It's what people have to do when they grow up."

Fu Zhidong replied vaguely, and seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Are you and your aunt getting married?"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Yes."

After answering, Li Xuewu felt that it was almost done downstairs, so he reached out and patted Fu Zhidong's shoulder, and while walking out, he said: "Grow up quickly, and you can marry the person you like."

"the person I like……?"

Fu Zhidong didn't know if his understanding was the same as what his uncle said, and his little mind was confused by the adults' words again.

"What are you talking about?"

After gathering her emotions, Zhou Yamei was standing at the corner of the stairs, smiling when she saw the whole family seemed to be discussing serious issues.

Fu Zhidong looked at his mother, something seemed different, his eyes were red and his smile was a little forced.

"Talking about marriage"

Fu Zhidong ran down the stairs and said to his mother: "Uncle said that he wants to marry the person he likes."

"Yeah~"

Zhou Yamei smiled and touched her son's head, but glanced at Li Xuewu who was walking downstairs.

Li Xuewu walked past the couple and said to Fu Zhidong, "This is a secret between men. Young man, you have to learn to keep it a secret."

Seeing his uncle say this, Fu Zhidong quickly pursed his lips to keep it secret.

"Hehehe~"

Li Xuewu smiled and went down the stairs. Gu Ning was sitting on the sofa looking over.

The living room is not far from the stairs on the second floor, and what Li Xuewu and Fu Zhidong said can still be heard downstairs.

Gu Ning looked into Li Xuewu's eyes and wondered which of this man's words were true and which were false.

"Has the application been approved?"

Li Xuewu walked to Gu Ning, sat down and asked, while holding the tea cup.

Gu Ning nodded and said nothing. She didn't know how to face Li Xuewu now.

She doesn't know how to pretend or hide her emotions.

Li Xuewu didn't pay much attention to Gu Ning's expression. The two were sitting next to each other, and Zhou Yamei was at home, so he couldn't get too close to Gu Ning.

After taking a sip of tea, Li Xuewu said: "Let's go out to eat tonight and take you to eat Western food."

Gu Ning raised his head and looked at Li Xuewu and said, "I don't want to go, I want to rest."

"What's wrong?"

Only then did Li Xuewu see that Gu Ning was in a low mood and asked with concern.

Gu Ning just shook his head and didn't explain anything.

Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning and said: "Huang Qian, a classmate in the training class in Jinmen, got some tickets for ballet performances. He took his wife and asked me to go see it with him, so I thought of taking you with me." .

Gu Ning raised his head again, looked into Li Xuewu's eyes, stared at them for a while, and then asked: "Friend?"

"good friend"

Li Xuewu emphasized, and then smiled: "But just because we are good friends, if you feel uncomfortable, I will return the ticket to him."

Gu Ning pursed her lips slightly and asked again: "Tonight?"

"certainly"

Li Xuewu saw something was wrong with Gu Ning's eyes, narrowed his left eye slightly and asked, "Can you tell me what's wrong?"

Gu Ning didn't speak, just looked into Li Xuewu's eyes, then lowered his head and said, "Nothing, just wait for me, I'll go change my clothes."

As he spoke, he stood up and went upstairs.

Li Xuewu's eyes followed Gu Ning's figure until she disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

As Gu Ning disappeared, Li Xuewu's eyes suddenly became sharp.

He is not a fool, nor is he a newbie in love. When it comes to sensitivity, he has rich experience.

"It's been three or four days."

Zhou Yamei sent her son to play in the yard. When she saw Gu Ning going upstairs, she walked to the coffee table and put away the tea sets and said softly.

Li Xuewu's eyes narrowed and he thought for a while.

Gu Ning was fine when he left on Wednesday night, saying he was going home to ask his parents for their opinions.

Thursday, Friday, Saturday, what happened?

Li Xuewu didn't know, he didn't pay attention, but something must have happened, otherwise Gu Ning's mood would not have changed.

He didn't think it was Zhou Yamei who said anything, nor did he think Gu Ning cared about Zhou Yamei.

Because Li Xuewu knew that there was no substantial boundary crossing between him and Zhou Yamei.

But he hasn't had any contact with others in the past few days. Could it be that he heard something?

Zhou Yamei didn't know what to say or ask. She put away the tea set and went out to see the child.

Li Xuewu suddenly asked: "Do you hate me?"

Zhou Yamei's footsteps were suddenly nailed to the ground, unable to move.

He just turned his back to Li Xuewu and couldn't say a word.

After a while, Zhou Yamei turned around tremblingly and looked at Li Xuewu, with tears streaming down her face.

"You ask this unconsciously, which is very cruel to me."

"sorry"

Li Xuewu nodded slightly and said: "People are in the game and can't help themselves."

"No"

Zhou Yamei let her tears flow. She stood in the living room and looked at Li Xuewu sadly and said, "No one is sorry to anyone. You shouldn't have told me. Isn't it good for me to forget?"

Li Xuewu nodded, knowing that Zhou Yamei could tell that he told her this on purpose.

If he doesn't want to express it, then just don't come today.

"I don't want to lie to you"

Li Xuewu sighed and said, "I hope you can come out as soon as possible and start a new life."

Zhou Yamei looked at Li Xuewu for a while, then she shed her tears and wiped her face with a handkerchief.

Fu Zhidong's voice came from the courtyard, and Zhou Yamei said "Don't mention it again" and went out.

Li Xuewu was notoriously cautious. If Fu Haibo didn't die, nothing would happen if Zhou Yamei was left by Gu Ning's side.

But Li Xuewu knew that the date could not be concealed, and he would not be at ease unless he explored Zhou Yamei's innermost feelings.

Just like what he told Fu Zhidong, women are emotional and don't know what choices they will make.

He had been observing Zhou Yamei when Gu Ning came back, until the last test just now, which made Zhou Yamei angry.

Li Xuewu didn't think anything was wrong. He knew what Zhou Yamei wanted and why he did that to him.

He knows Zhou Yamei's purpose better.

No one understands women better than him.

But seeing Zhou Yamei like this, he felt relieved.

He is not afraid of women's purposeful attachment and flattery, and he is even less afraid of women's utilitarian embrace.

Zhou Yamei is probably a little sad now. She is sad that Li Xuewu is cruel and never trusts her.

In fact, she is quite good. There are too few people that Li Xuewu can trust.

If he had to name a few people he could trust, he would probably have to go to the more than 200 graves in the west of the city to count them.

"What time is the show?"

"seven o'clock"

It was still the same outfit he wore last spring outing. Li Xuewu's eyes lit up, wondering if this girl did it on purpose.

“It’s only after four o’clock”

Gu Ning ignored Li Xuewu's slightly aggressive gaze and glanced at the clock on the wall.

"Let's eat first"

Li Xuewu stood up with a smile and said as he walked out: "I know a Western restaurant that does good food. Let's go and try it today."

When they arrived at the courtyard, they saw Fu Zhidong playing in the vegetable field and Zhou Yamei standing on the roadside, lost in thought. Li Xuewu took the initiative and said, "I'll pack a portion for you and bring it back tonight."

"No"

Zhou Yamei turned to look at Li Xuewu and the two of them, smiled, and said, "I can just deal with the child."

"Then keep it for tomorrow."

Li Xuewu said nothing and walked out of the door first.

Gu Ning walked slower than Li Xuewu. Zhou Yamei took Gu Ning's hand and squeezed it. Gu Ning nodded clearly and followed Li Xuewu out of the door.

When it comes to Western food, the most popular food in these four-nine cities is Russian-style Western food.

Everyone knows the reason. After all, those idiots had the best relationship with us in the past few years.

When it comes to Russian-style Western food, Lao Moer is the one who talks about it the most.

In fact, Lao Mo'er is not a representative of Russian-style Western food, but this place used to be Mao Zi's exhibition hall.

Because of its nature, this place has received many foreign guests, so it is highly desired by those ladies in the courtyard.

The reason why they yearn for it is also because of the brilliance revealed by their fathers.

Sijiucheng has experienced too much and has been visited by too many people. These people have brought the delicacies of their respective ethnic groups and countries.

Sijiucheng does not have its own specialty food because it is eclectic and all-encompassing.

West Chang'an Street was once known as a food street, and the famous Eight Great Spring Festivals in Sijiu City are located here.

In 40 or 5 years ago, a businessman from Jinmen opened a Western restaurant here.

This is the Dadi Western Restaurant that Li Xuewu brought Gu Ning to today.

Compared to Lao Moer, Dadi's side is simpler, with patterned wallpaper on the walls and a few pillars standing in the middle of the hall.

Unlike Lao Mo, the service staff and chefs here are all Chinese, which is why Li Xuewu brought Gu Ning here.

His identity and Gu Ning's identity are not suitable for going to Lao Mo'er. Don't look at those big yard girls. That's because they have no identity.

Si Liu didn't understand what kind of identity a young man with all his teeth and claws could have. Only their parents had an identity, the same identity as Li Xuewu that required learning a confidentiality manual.

There are rumors that the waiters and cooks at Lao Moer's restaurant are...

Because Maozi’s foreign affairs staff often go there, so do staff from other foreign affairs offices.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Li Xuewu wouldn't get into trouble just because of a meal.

There are long tables and high-backed chairs in the hall, with a table for four people.

There were quite a lot of people when they came in. Li Xuewu took Gu Ning and found a seat by the window.

Although it is by the window, with the white curtains drawn, whether people outside are looking in or people inside are looking out, it is still looming.

Since it is a Western restaurant, it has Western-style service. The waiter came over and handed over a menu.

"There are a lot of people here."

"yes"

When the waiter saw Li Xuewu speaking, he replied: "It's Sunday, there are more people."

Li Xuewu handed the menu to Gu Ning and asked her to order first, while he talked to the waiter.

"What about normal times?"

"One third of it"

The service attitude of the waiter is pretty good, and the nature of the restaurant already determines that the identity of the people who come to eat here must be extraordinary.

It usually costs three or four yuan for two people, which is beyond the reach of ordinary families.

“Grilled Mandarin Fish with Milk Sauce, Red Cabbage Soup”

Gu Ning didn't order much. After ordering, he handed the menu to Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu asked the waiter without looking, "Which dishes are suitable for northern tastes?"

The waiter obviously understood what Li Xuewu meant and said with a smile: "I suggest you try the pot-braised beef. It's sweet and sour, it should be suitable for you."

"Listen to you"

Li Xuewu smiled at the waiter and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Seeing that Li Xuewu only wanted to listen to his suggestions, the waiter took away the menu and continued: "The dishes here are heavy in oil and color, and are mainly sweet, sour, spicy and salty. Why don't you also try the milk that this comrade ordered?" Grilled mandarin fish with juicy sauce? Grilled pork chops are also good."

While talking, he also strongly recommended to Li Xuewu the specialty here, garlic bread.

"Haha, not today"

Li Xuewu smiled and waved his hand, rejecting such a heavy-flavored staple food, and said: "I want to take my partner and friends to a show later. I want you to have a portion of the grilled mandarin fish and grilled pork chops you mentioned. In addition, I also want beetroot soup, and I want croissants for bread.”

The waiter smiled and said, "I don't like Lieba either, he's tough."

After saying that, he asked: "Would you like a drink?"

"May I?"

Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning, then smiled and said to the waiter: "A bottle of fruit bar, just grape."

"Hold on"

The waiter must be watching people order dishes. If they are not here to eat, they will not care about it.

On the contrary, because the food here is more expensive, more people care about it.

They are also human beings who work in service. The easier it is for customers, the better. What they like most is that Li Xuewu doesn't ask about the price, and doesn't care about the difference between the dishes and the price.

Especially those like Li Xuewu who take the initiative to chat a few words respect them more and are more likely to get smiles.

Gu Ning was used to it and was not surprised that Li Xuewu was able to joke with the waiter after just a few words.

"Ever been here?"

"without"

Gu Ning shook his head and said, "I rarely go out to eat."

“It’s my first time here too”

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "This is something I never dared to think about before."

As he spoke, he picked up the silver knife and fork on the table and said, "This aristocratic dining tool gives me a different experience."

Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "What were you like before?"

Seeing Li Xuewu raise his eyebrows, Gu Ning asked additionally: "I'm talking about your life."

"Including love life?"

Li Xuewu looked into Gu Ning's eyes and asked.

Gu Ning didn't speak, just looked at Li Xuewu.

"All right"

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "It's time to confess and be lenient."

He raised his hands helplessly, indicating that he was giving up resistance.

Gu Ning leaned back slightly on the chair and said, "If I can."

“There’s nothing that can’t be said”

Immediately following Gu Ning's words, without giving Gu Ning any time to pause, Li Xuewu replied: "It's just that you didn't ask, I thought you weren't interested."

After saying that, he moved the chair and let the waiter who brought the wine help them pour the fruit wine.

He thanked me, watched the waiter put down the wine bottle and left, and then continued: "My life was not that difficult, but it was not rich either. I must have eaten what I ate. You should also know the situation."

After talking about his childhood life, Li Xuewu continued: "Maybe it's because I have experienced starvation, or maybe I hate poverty. I am a bit greedy."

"Like feelings?"

Gu Ning had already guessed what Li Xuewu was going to say.

"Hehe, yes"

Li Xuewu nodded generously and admitted: "This will be divided into several stages."

While Li Xuewu and Li Xuewu were talking, relatively simple beetroot soup and bread were served.

Other big dishes will have to wait a while.

Li Xuewu clinked the wine glass with Gu Ning, ignoring that Gu Ning didn't drink, and took a small sip to moisten his mouth.

"The first stage is about the beginning of love, the second stage is about hundreds of flowers blooming, the third stage is about playing in the world, etc., which one do you want to hear?"

Gu Ning stared at Li Xuewu, breathing heavily from his nostrils.

This bastard!

But this is what she asked, and she is no better than the bad guy opposite.

"Which stage do I belong to?"

"you?"

Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning who was a little serious in a funny way and said, "I think he entered the enemy camp by mistake."

"Then I should kill you"

Gu Ning gave Li Xuewu a feigned fierce look.

Li Xuewu smiled even happier. Seeing that Gu Ning was getting angry, he said, "I'm kidding you, there weren't many female classmates who played well when I was young."

"Except for female classmates?"

Gu Ning was obviously very concerned about what Li Xuewu said and couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, senior girls, or those who have graduated."

Li Xuewu paused at this point and raised his eyebrows, indicating to Gu Ning that everyone understood this.

"But you also know that teenagers speak and act as if they were young. They are relatively childish and not worthy of narration. It is better to keep them as memories."

Gu Ning didn't care about Li Xuewu's childhood. She knew that the children in the alley were still different from when they were children.

She is not a child, and she will not hold on to those unreasonable things in the past. What she is struggling with is the present.

Of course Li Xuewu knew what Gu Ning cared about. He was deliberately making jokes and talking about these past things.

Gu Ning didn't know how to ask, nor what her reaction should be.

Li Xuewu didn't expect this sensitive girl to care about him so much, so he couldn't help laughing.

Gu Ning was hesitating and struggling, but she didn't expect that the bad guy opposite could actually laugh!

"Hehehe"

Li Xuewu smiled and took the wine glass and went to clink it with Gu Ning again. Gu Ning was so angry that he moved the wine glass on the table so that Li Xuewu wouldn't touch it.

Li Xuewu smiled even more happily, and he didn't even dare to drink for fear of spitting out.

Gu Ning glared at Li Xuewu angrily and said, "Am I ridiculous?"

"Haha, not really"

Li Xuewu waved his hand, suppressed his smile and said, "It's just a little cute."

Gu Ning didn't pay any attention to the bad guy's sweet words. She knew that this man always had something to say.

Li Xuewu gathered his emotions and then took a sip of wine and said, "Did someone tell you something about me?"

Gu Ning looked into Li Xuewu's eyes, paused, and asked, "What do you have to say to me?"

"That's a lot"

Li Xuewu said calmly: "I can't even remember the bad things I did. How about you remind me and I can tell you about it?"

Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu and felt that he was the one who accidentally entered the enemy camp.

"do you like me?"

Li Xuewu didn't expect Gu Ning to ask this question, just like last time at the door of the villa.

Gu Ning stared into Li Xuewu's eyes and said: "I don't expect eternal love, but I also don't expect a marriage without warmth. Compared to the scarred silence, I hope that each other can retain some dignity."

Li Xuewu leaned forward, put his elbows on the table, and said very seriously: "I have never lied to you, including the question I answered last time."

Gu Ning looked seriously into Li Xuewu's eyes. The two were in a stalemate for a while, and then Gu Ning asked, "Are you sure?"

"I am sure"

Li Xuewu looked into Gu Ning's eyes and said, "If you want to know what I'm doing now, anything."

He moved the wine glass in front of him and leaned forward again, so that Gu Ning could see his eyes clearly.

"I will tell you everything without reservation"

"unnecessary"

Gu Ning shook his head with certainty, stirred the red cabbage soup in the bowl with a spoon, and said, "I have my requirements, and you also have your responsibilities."

Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning. The current Gu Ning was the same Gu Ning he saw on the operating table for the first time.

"Then let's eat?"

"the last time"

Gu Ning nodded and said, "This is the last time I will confirm with you how you feel about me."

Li Xuewu stretched out his hand and said to Gu Ning: "Please take care of me for the rest of my life."

Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu, put down the spoon in his hand, stretched out his hand, and placed it in Li Xuewu's big palm.

"When you see a gentleman, you don't have any doubts about him."

"Thank you Ms. Gu"

"Thank you Mr. Li"

The waiter was standing in the aisle with a plate. He didn't know whether he should go over to serve the food. What were the two people over there doing?

Didn’t I just talk about the object?

Why are you talking about business again?

Marriage itself is a transaction. Li Xuewu is willing to give his sincerity, and Gu Ning is willing to give his sincerity.

Li Xuewu agreed with Gu Ning's point of view. Marriage and love are two different things, but marriage does not mean the absence of feelings.

If marriage is to maintain dignity, then marriage is a long-term sell-off.

The braised beef at Dadi Western Restaurant is indeed good, but not as good as the grilled mandarin fish with milk sauce.

It's not that the chef's skills are bad, but the materials.

Beef is very scarce at this time. Although Li Xuewu and others are pulling back train after train, there are very few that have truly formed a supply chain.

Li Xuewu felt that the beef seemed to be a canned product, and he didn't like it.

Of course, don’t be too picky at this time. These five yuan can be considered as a taste of top-notch food in the eyes of the people of Forty-Nine City.

Listening to Li Xuewu's nagging comments about the dish just now, Gu Ning walked beside Li Xuewu and calmed down the tangled mood of the past three days.

“The bread is delicious”

"Haha, just because I said this Russian-style Western food is not delicious does not mean that the Russian-style Western food is not delicious."

Li Xuewu turned to look at Gu Ning and said, "I want to order Caspian Sea sturgeon caviar. He will definitely say I'm faking it."

"Pfft~"

Gu Ning couldn't help laughing when she heard Li Xuewu's words, covered her mouth with her hand, and then glanced at Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu didn't care at all about Gu Ning's slightly angry eyes and continued: "Serious Russian Western food is still very rich, at least more luxurious than French Western food."

Gu Ning pursed her lips, followed Li Xuewu to the car, and replied: "It's as if you have eaten it."

"This is called a scholar who knows the affairs of the world without going out."

Li Xuewu jumped on the jeep and started it. It was still bright and there were many pedestrians on the road.

They all had free time on Sundays to go shopping, and those who had some money made an appointment to come here to have a toothpaste.

There is only one restaurant left in Badachun, but the food is absolutely authentic.

Gu Ning held up her skirt and got into the car, and said, "I have read the titles and catalogs of the books on the bookshelf. Why don't I see these written in them?"

"Look, you went astray, didn't you~"

Li Xuewu joked, stepped on the accelerator and drove the jeep onto the road. He said with a smile: "Mencius said: It is better to have no books than to believe in books. Keep the knowledge in the books in your mind, and what you summarize is your own of".

Gu Ning curled her lips, unable to compete with Li Xuewu's words, she chose to ignore his boast.

Li Xuewu took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Gu Ning.

Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu, reached out to take it, and asked, "What?"

"show tickets"

Li Xuewu said while driving: "As soon as you meet Huang Qian and his wife, tell them that you got this ticket."

Gu Ning looked at the four tickets in the envelope, turned to Li Xuewu and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Li Xuewu told her just now that his classmate had obtained the tickets. Was he doing this to deceive his classmate's wife?

Gu Ning was unwilling to lie, so she wanted to return the envelope to Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu turned to look at Gu Ning, smiled without taking it back, and explained: "His name is Huang Qian, and he works in Dongcheng No. 1 Prison. He also has a sister who is also our classmate and works in the ministry."

Gu Ning understood, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "So you stole his sister's ticket?"

"How can it be"

Li Xuewu said aggrievedly: "He took the initiative to ask me out. He wanted to ask his wife to meet you."

Seeing that Li Xuewu refused to accept it, Gu Ning took it in his hand.

Li Xuewu continued: "As I said, I won't lie to you, but his wife has a better relationship with his sister. Isn't this to reduce embarrassment?"

"I will not say"

Gu Ning didn't want to participate in Li Xuewu's mischief. Men are not good people.

"Okay, okay, I'll just say I got it."

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "If I said that, his wife must think I did it on purpose."

Gu Ning didn't want to hear this man's explanation, his mouth would just say it.

The vehicle arrived at the theater and there were already many people at the door.

Groups of three and five were chattering excitedly about something.

In fact, is the art form of ballet elegant or not?

Li Xuewu didn't know that his understanding of art was superficial.

He doesn't understand Peking Opera and doesn't like it, but he has watched too many movies, thrilling ones, twists and turns, and touching ones. He is used to them and has developed immunity.

Listening to cross talk through Little Monster every night is enough to enrich your entertainment life.

This was the first time in his life that he had watched ballet in such a formal way. In his impression, his understanding of ballet was the music and video of the little swan.

The jeep parked directly in the open space in front of the theater building. The bicycle custodian glanced here and did not dare to come over.

Li Xuewu jumped out of the car, raised his eyebrows and looked at the young people looking over, then turned the front of the car and took Gu Ning's hand.

This combination of the two is very eye-catching, and all the young people who come to follow the trend gather at the door.

To put it bluntly, there is an extreme lack of entertainment in this era. As long as it is lively, regardless of whether it is elegant or vulgar, they are willing to help.

Li Xuewu ignored the probing glances and led Gu Ning inside, vaguely revealing the gun holster under his clothes.

The one with dirty eyes had turned his head away from looking this way, and the one who was still glaring was also reminded by his companions.

Li Xuewu was not easy to mess with because of his appearance, and he came in a jeep with a guy on him. These people all understood that this was a big shiny iron plate that could not be kicked.

Gu Ning didn't understand why Li Xuewu did this, but she knew there must be a reason for it.

As she said, she didn't want to know what Li Xuewu was doing, as long as Li Xuewu knew how to be responsible.

In fact, Li Xuewu also took insurance. Most of the children at the door didn't get tickets and were just sitting here trying to make money.

If you catch him, or you're a coward, just extort one.

Li Xuewu was afraid that these bastards would use his car to vent their anger, pee, throw bricks, and cause damage if they couldn't find tickets. These grandsons could do anything.

Entering the hall, he saw Huang Qian chatting and laughing with a woman with wavy hair.

Yes, it must be Mrs. Huang, otherwise with Huang Gan's courage, it would be impossible to flirt with other women today.

"Haha, these are my siblings!"

When Huang Gan saw Li Xuewu and Gu Ning coming in, he smiled and said hello.

Li Xuewu also smiled and introduced to Gu Ning: "This is my good friend, Huang Qian."

Gu Ning smiled and nodded.

At this moment, Li Xuewu saw Huang Qian's wife turning around and looking this way, so he also greeted with a smile: "Hello, sister-in-law, I am Huang Qian's friend, my name is Li Xuewu."

Huang Gan's wife rolled her eyes, smiled, stretched out her hand, and said, "How did you rent this?"

Li Xuewu: "Everyone rents his own!"

Huang Qian: "Everyone rents his own!"

…

"Are you children?"

When Huang Gan's daughter-in-law saw the two dishonest people, she shook hands with Li Xuewu and introduced herself: "Su Youfang, I've heard about you for a long time."

"Then it must be Huang Gan who said bad things about me."

Li Xuewu smiled and let go of Su Youfang's hand, and introduced Huang and Qian: "My partner is Gu Ning."

Su Youfang saw Gu Ning's character, smiled generously, stretched out her hand, and said, "Hello, I heard Huang Qian tell the story about how you and Li Xuewu were destined to fall in love at first sight."

Gu Ning glanced at Li Xuewu and said with a smile: "That story must be exciting."
