Rebel Demon King

Chapter 359 Dangerous Relationship
If you want to recommend a dining place worth visiting in Star City, the Red House, as a private dining place, will undoubtedly be the first choice for most people who are familiar with Star City.Not only has it appeared in various gourmet magazines many times, but it is also a check-in restaurant for many well-known hosts and big-name stars who come to Star City.

The Red House stands diagonally across from the Shonan International Convention and Exhibition Center, beside the Liuyang River. It is not a building composed of glass curtain walls and reinforced concrete in the city, but a red wooden structure waterside pavilion far away from the urban fashion. It is a classical language full of Chinese romance. territory.
At this moment, Cheng Mo is waiting for a meal in one of the VIP rooms called Wangjiang Building. On one side of him is the Mianmian River dyed red by the setting sun, and on the other side is the green tile glaze against the willow leaf lotus pond. It is this pleasant and wonderful view, which is worth the expensive price.

There is a mahogany dining table in the center of the spacious private room, and celadon vases and orchids can be seen everywhere. Apart from the most boastful beautiful scenery, this cage contains a strong retro warmth and is like a dream. People seem to have traveled back to ancient times.

Six people sat around the table, apart from Cheng Mo, Yan Funing, Fu Yuanzhuo and Yan Yitong, there were also Fu Yuanzhuo's girlfriend Feng Qianqian and Feng Qianqian's sister Feng Zhenzhen.

Although Feng Xixi and Feng Zhenzhen are sisters, they look nothing alike. Feng Qianxi belongs to the kind of girl who looks like someone else's family, she is quiet and cute, she wears a light blue Dior dress, and her hair dyed sorrel hangs behind her ears , a row of slightly curly (quan) bangs are inlaid with big eyes shining with the lake light, the bridge of the nose is high and the tip of the nose is small, sitting in the silhouette reflected by the setting sun, the red lips like water chestnut are smiling slightly.

As for Feng Zhenzhen, her personality is obviously more flamboyant. The blood-red hollow lace skirt is paired with a pair of light brown short boots, which makes her fair legs look slender and slender. The long golden hair that has been carefully groomed is permed in big waves. She has thick eyebrows and handsome eyes. The lips are bright, and the cheeks are a little baby fat, but they don't detract from the glamorous feeling at all. Mixed with her shallow smile, it shows a different kind of temperament.

Both Feng Xixi and Feng Zhenzhen are studying in the UK. Feng Xixi is in the 11th grade at St. Paul's Girls' High School, which is equivalent to the first year of high school in China, and Feng Zhenzhen is a sophomore in Oxford.

St. Paul's Girls' High School is the cradle of countless female celebrities. It has produced many famous models, film actors, female economists, and social celebrities. It is not the kind of aristocratic high school that you can get into if you have money; The top universities that make more introductions, no matter which country you are in, as long as you say that you are a student of Oxford University, you will naturally attract a burst of surprise and envy. It belongs to a school with its own pretentious aura. Imperial College is a bit far behind in terms of reputation.

In short, it can be said that this pair of sisters are exceptional in terms of quality and appearance. It is no wonder that Fu Yuanzhuo was fascinated, and he dared not resist after being threatened by Yan Yitong many times.

The atmosphere in the private room was quite harmonious, the three girls were chatting in low voices, occasionally whispering something mysteriously, and then glanced at Cheng Mo's body twice.

This is normal, after all, other people have known each other for a long time, and Cheng Mo is a newcomer in this circle, so it is not surprising that he attracts scrutiny.

The three girls were full of laughter, but the chat between the three boys was a bit boring. Fu Yuanzhuo scratched his head and tried his best to lure Cheng Mo and Yan Funing to talk again, but both Cheng Mo and Yan Funing seemed to have lost the chat interest, just casually coping with a few words, not as unscrupulous as the beginning of the talk.

The waitress in the blue batik cheongsam was serving dishes in an endless stream, and a beautiful girl in a light green Hanfu with her hair in a bun also came in, sat in front of the guzheng on the side of the box, and began to play the guzheng without saying a word , the track is "Qing Ping Le" in the National Treasure.

The wind chimes swayed by the warm river wind outside the window, and the melodious and graceful tunes are swaying in the wooden attic burning with incense. Especially, every time the girls who play the guzheng bow their heads and snap their fingers, they are in line with the rhyme. Enjoyment is even more visual enjoyment.

So everyone stopped talking and listened attentively.

The poetic and picturesque melody circulated in the box, maybe the ancient scenery and the slightly sad melody aroused the hidden love, Cheng Mo saw Feng Zhenzhen's gaze fell on Yan Funing presumptuously, without any concealment express their likes.

This is not surprising, it is really normal for girls to like boys like Yan Funing.With such an older brother, it would be very difficult for Yan Yitong not to become a brother-controller.

But Cheng Mo, who has amazing observation skills, discovered some other subtle details, that is, Feng Xiqian involuntarily looked at Yan Funing several times, and subconsciously turned her head away when their eyes met inadvertently.

Although the expressions of the two are normal, such ordinary movements are not enough to explain anything, but Cheng Mo is keenly aware of some unspeakable differences, such as Feng Qianqian's blinking rate becomes faster, and she will suddenly pull Yan Yitong to speak To divert the attention of herself and others, but she never had the intention of pulling her boyfriend Fu Yuanzhuo to talk.

Cheng Mo actually didn't care about these details, nor did he want to pay attention to them, but the habit he had developed for a long time allowed these subtle fragments to enter his mind naturally, and then his brain analyzed the conclusion in an instant.

At the end of the song, everyone applauded vigorously, especially Yan Yitong. She is not only a COS lover, but also a Hanfu lover. She has produced many high-quality Hanfu photos and Chinese-style dances. Yan Yitong has always wanted to learn guzheng and pipa, but with so many hobbies, it is really difficult for her to spare time to learn musical instruments.

Therefore, I have always admired this kind of young lady who can play musical instruments, especially Yan Yitong, who is a national musical instrument, and ran over with her mobile phone to take a photo with the young lady who played the guzheng. Naturally, the young lady would not reject the elf-like Yan Yitong, smiling I took several pictures together with Yan Yitong who wears a black wig.

As for the sisters of the Feng family, they sat on the carved chairs without moving, and looked at Yan Yitong with doting eyes. Cheng Mo immediately understood that Yan Yitong was actually everyone's younger sister, and everyone would probably like Yan Yitong who is so simple and unpretentious Sunshine Maiden.

When they started eating, everyone chatted casually, the windows were shimmering, and the girls in the room were even more lively.

"Our Hunan cuisine is still the best. In England, I can only look at pictures every day to satisfy my cravings. It is too painful." The wild and charming Feng Zhenzhen said excitedly with a piece of shiny Maojia braised pork.

"Sister, you are not bad. You can often go out to eat Chinese restaurants. I was miserable in school. I can only look at the pictures and use Laoganma to order Laotan sauerkraut beef noodles. You don't know my Laoganma It’s so popular, a bottle will be finished in about three days. The four girls in our dormitory are all in love with Laoganma now, and they have all become loyal fans of Laoganma, and have invented a variety of new ways to eat Laoganma , Steak goes with Laoganma, bread goes with Laoganma, mashed potatoes go with Laoganma. It used to be enough for me to buy two bottles a month, but now I have to carry one box back a month to be enough.” Feng Xiqian complained.

"I see that you complain every day that you are not used to life in the UK. If you don't come back to high school, why bother to suffer in the UK for a month and only have two days to leave school. The rules are too many and strict, and they are not friendly enough to us Asians." Fu Yuanzhuo raised Picking up the chopsticks, she turned to look at Feng Xiqian and said.

Feng Xiqian lowered her head slightly, looked at the crystal shrimp in the bowl and said softly: "It's not that bad. I really wanted to come back when I first went, but after this year, I feel that I have gained a lot. I think you You should also get out of your comfort zone, go live abroad, and exercise yourself. You can’t be like before, thinking about games every day! Comics! Figures! It’s too playful!"

Fu Yuanzhuo sighed and said: "It's not that you don't know that I also wanted to go to high school in England with you, but my father didn't know what was wrong, insisting that I study Changya, I fought, it was useless Ah!" After a pause, Fu Yuanzhuo said proudly: "But I don't just know how to play games now. I haven't played games much this summer vacation. Cheng Mo introduced a lot of books to me, and I read them all. What? "Sophie's World", "Introduction to Principles of Morality and Legislation", "The New York Times v. Sullivan Case". What's more "Piracy in the Digital Age". And I also made reading notes."

There is nothing to say about popular books such as "Sophie's World", but the next few books are all very unpopular books. Except for Yan Funing, Feng Zhenzhen has read "Digital Age" on the recommendation of her teacher. "Piracy is Not Guilty", when the teacher recommended her to read this book, it was because the piracy phenomenon in China was particularly serious, and it was a problem that no matter what class it would touch, it made Feng Zhenzhen blush a little.

Feng Qianqian hadn't read any of it, so everyone couldn't help but cast their eyes on Cheng Mo.

Feng Zhenzhen actually doesn't quite believe Yan Yitong's description of Cheng Mo as a "genius". In her opinion, only people like Yan Funing who entered Imperial College at the age of 17, got a double master's degree at the age of 21, and have appeared in newspapers several times can be called "genius". A genius, a 17-year-old student like Cheng Mo who is still in the first year of high school in Changya, can be regarded as a top student at best, and is definitely far from the title of "genius".

So he smiled and asked tentatively: "Cheng Mo, what do you think of this book?"

Cheng Mo, who was dealing with the vegetables in the bowl, raised his head to look at Feng Zhenzhen with a charming face, and said in a low voice, "It's not bad, it's a book that can provoke thinking."

Such an answer naturally did not satisfy Feng Zhenzhen, and she said with some regret: "The translation of this book is actually mediocre, and the original English version should be read. Although the author John has always emphasized in the book that piracy is wrong, it is not as innocent as some people promote. But in fact, those big companies and various anti-piracy associations are not as righteous as they claim." Feng Zhenzhen turned her head to look at Yan Funing and asked with a wink, "I wonder what Brother Ning thinks?"

Yan Funing said lightly: "The main reason is that the current "Copyright Law" can no longer keep up with the development of the computer age. Of course piracy is wrong, but too strict copyright laws will also curb creativity and economic vitality. If Bell Labs Applying for patent protection for one's own transistor technology, will there be the greatest wave of technological innovation in our history that continues to this day? If Palo Alto does not open the graphics interface, the creativity of the mouse and Ethernet technology, there will be the later Macintosh, And later Windows, and even today's Internet age? Today's "Copyright Law" is only to protect the interests of copyright holders, not the interests of creators and ordinary people. There is no doubt that we must use a unique human ability, while insisting on two conflicting viewpoints. However, this book makes me somewhat disdainful because, in order to be published in our country, the issue of piracy in our country is avoided.”

"I have also studied the issue of piracy a little bit. To a large extent, piracy has made a huge contribution to the popularization of the Internet in our country. If there is no piracy, the threshold for accessing computers will be raised very high. It is very likely that we will not be able to catch up with this wave of the Internet" Feng Zhenzhen studied at Oxford Business School, studying political economy, and it is necessary to study these things.

Yan Funing sneered, and said: "It is true that piracy has created many favorable conditions for the rise of the Internet in our country, allowing the Internet to be popularized quickly and knowledge to be cheap, but people who are used to free have destroyed a large number of industries that need intellectual property protection. For example, music, publishing, movies and TV series are still on the bright side, and they have deeply destroyed one of the core industries of the digital age: the software industry. Some people say that we can’t make chips. But they don’t know, even if we make chips It's useless, the chip needs software support, and we also don't have an operating system. All the operating systems are American. Not only are they monopolized by the United States, but there is no way to change this situation. This is the most terrible thing. This is condoning piracy. Bad result"

Yan Funing's words made the atmosphere suddenly serious. The Sino-US trade war has exposed the pain point of "chips" in front of the Chinese people, and the foundation of chips is mathematics. Yan Funing has a very right to speak about this.

Everyone did not doubt Yan Funing's authority at all. The girls all looked at Yan Funing with admiring eyes. It was not his appearance that radiated light, but his wisdom.

Feng Zhenzhen had to lament that the gap between her knowledge and Yan Funing's was too far, especially in terms of cutting-edge technology. She could say a lot about the trade war, but she was powerless when it came to the specific development of a certain industry, so Feng Zhenzhen He frowned and asked thoughtfully: "Is there no way to be controlled by others like this?"

Yan Funing shook his head, "Chips and software are both industries in the inverted pyramid. They are not industries that can be subverted by investing hundreds of billions of dollars by virtue of cost advantages. If a company or a country occupies a high point, it is unlikely to come down." Then he turned his head to look at Cheng Mo and said with a smile: "But it's not that there is no chance at all, what do you think Cheng Mo?"

Seeing Yan Funing questioning Cheng Mo, everyone once again focused their attention on Cheng Mo, but the question seemed a little too deep, even professionals may not be able to see the cause and effect behind it, let alone a high school student?

The Feng family sisters don't quite believe that Cheng Mo can answer. They think that Yan Funing is probably making things difficult for the boys her sister likes. Yan Funing has always been not very polite to boys who pursue Yan Yitong. Yan Yitong likes to go to school in disguise, which is definitely because of Yan Funing Influence, there is no doubt about it, anyone who knows the Yan family brothers and sisters knows it well.

But Fu Yuanzhuo understands it more deeply. Once in junior high school, there was a boy who liked Yan Yitong. In order to get her attention, he especially liked to tease her, such as whistling at her, pulling her hair, and stealing her eraser. What
Adolescent boys are always so active, and they also express their liking for another girl wrongly.

But he ended badly. Yan Funing pretended to be a traffic accident, and broke his leg when he rode an electric bike. He was lying in the hospital for several months and had to repeat the grade.Yan Yitong didn't know about this, but Fu Yuanzhuo did.

On the day the boy was discharged from the hospital, Yan Funing and Fu Yuanzhuo went to the hospital to see him. Before that, Yan Funing insisted on visiting him every week, and would buy flowers and fruits every time. The boy's parents were polite and worked hard. Yan Funing, who took responsibility, liked it very much, even that boy couldn't hate Yan Funing.

But this time when he was discharged from the hospital, at the moment when he walked out of the gate of the inpatient department, Yan Funing bowed his head and said something in the boy's ear, which made the boy look terrified like he had seen a ghost.

Fu Yuanzhuo couldn't hear what Yan Funing said, but he knew that the boy always avoided Yan Yitong since then.He guessed that Yan Funing broke the opponent's leg on purpose, Fu Yuanzhuo was not surprised by this, Yan Funing was a particularly ruthless one when fighting as a child.

Fu Yuanzhuo also asked Yan Funing why he was not afraid of beating someone to death. He remembered that Yan Funing smiled lightly and replied: "I am only 14 years old, and I am a good student with good academic performance. , with a good attitude, there is a high probability that he will also be suspended, so what are you afraid of?"

But what Yan Funing said to that boy was definitely not as simple as "threat", so Fu Yuanzhuo was always curious about what Yan Funing said to that boy, but he didn't have the opportunity to ask that boy, and he didn't dare to ask Yan Funing.

In his heart, Yan Funing has two sides, most of the time he shows a gentle and kind side, but when others touch the bottom line that Yan Funing can't touch, he will show a ferocious side.

For some reason, Fu Yuanzhuo actually became a little worried for Cheng Mo, and looked at Cheng Mo with a tangled expression.

Yan Yitong looked at Cheng Mo expectantly, hoping that he could answer his brother's question.

Cheng Mo took a look at Yan Funing. He guessed that Yan Funing was probably an anarchist. After hesitating for a moment, he replied: "Oh! Artificial intelligence. If our country can catch up with this time point in the era of artificial intelligence, there is still a chance .”
