Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

When Chi Yu was sent out by Pan Zi, Wu Xie was already drowsy outside.

But when his eyes accidentally fell on Chi Yu who came out from inside, Wu Xie was suddenly startled and woke up completely.

He threw aside the book he was reading to kill time, and came closer to Chi Yu. "Wow, you talked to my uncle for a long time. It will be dinner time if you are any later."

Then he changed the subject and said that since the time was right, why not let the two of them go to Louwailou for dinner together so they could get to know each other better.

In response to this, Chi Yu, who had no other mission targets in Hangzhou, chose to agree.

Wu Xie looked very happy after getting this answer, so he started talking to him about what dishes to order later.

Chi Yu just listened quietly to him muttering in her ear.

Wu Xie's voice is very pleasant, and his words make people feel comfortable. Even though he is talking incessantly, Chi Yu does not feel annoyed, which is in sharp contrast to some people.

Compared to two years ago, his face has grown a little, and his figure looks taller and more slender, but he is still as fair as before.

As time went by, Wu Xie's scholarly air became more and more profound. Although he was still young, his unique temperament had already begun to take shape.

In summary, he doesn't look like a tomb robber.

So is it really because of the family history? Chi Yu blinked again.

Perhaps he finally realized that Chi Yu was observing him, Wu Xie spoke slower and slower. He looked at Chi Yu and his voice sounded a little stuttering: "Chi Yu, why are you staring at me without saying anything? Don't you have any dishes you like to eat?"

"I found that you have grown six centimeters taller than when I first met you." Chi Yu said, gesturing at herself with her hand, "When I pulled you up, your height was only as high as mine, but now you are half a head taller."

"Of course, I'm still growing now."

When Wu Xie said this, there was a hint of pride in his voice. He looked at Chi Yu with a raised corner of his mouth. "I see that you haven't changed much in the past few years. Have you stopped growing? If that's the case, then maybe in two years, I will be taller than you."

Hearing this, Chi Yu looked at Wu Xie again and said, "I don't think it's possible."

Wu Xie said "Hey" and started to reason with him: "I am already 1.78 meters tall, and I will definitely break through 1.8 meters in the future. You look like you are only 1.85 meters tall. I will work hard now and eat more nourishing food, and I will definitely be able to do it in time!"

"Then come on."

Seeing Chi Yu's disapproving look, Wu Xie snorted and continued to ask him, "So you haven't told me what kind of food you like to eat? Louwailou's signature dishes are all Hangzhou cuisine. If you can't get used to it, we can still change to another restaurant now."

"I don't have any particular preferences." Chi Yu shook her head at him, "But if it comes to dishes that I'm interested in, I'm actually very interested in squirrel mandarin fish."

“Does this dish have any special meaning to you?”

Chi Yu was silent for a moment, his eyes drifting away, "It does have a special meaning... but now I just simply think that fish is delicious. If it's fish, I think it's good no matter how you eat it."

So twenty minutes later, they sat together at the dining table by the window of Louwailou. Wu Xie ordered a West Lake vinegar fish for him, and a Longjing shrimp and a Dongpo pork for himself.

"Speaking of Hangzhou's signature dishes, there are only a few that are most famous. Do you like soup? The water shield soup or the braised duck with dried bamboo shoots here are also pretty good."

"Just arrange it."

The sky is now turning from bright to dark, and the lights are gradually coming on by the lake. The warm yellow light is reflected on the lake, and as the evening breeze blows, it stirs up some ripples, and the sparkling water looks very beautiful.

Chi Yu withdrew his gaze from the window, reached out to touch his hair that was a little messy due to the wind, and turned to answer Wu Xie's question.

There was still some warmth in his eyes brought by the lights. Although that warmth quickly disappeared from the other's eyes without a trace, it left a faint mark in Wu Xie's heart.

The young man didn't know why his heart was beating so fast, so he could only stare at the other person in a daze, thinking that Chi Yu looked really good now.

It would be even better if I could smile at him.

Wu Xie came back to his senses from his wild thoughts, subconsciously covered his chest, then picked up the kettle and poured himself a cup of tea.

Before the food was served, they started chatting idly.

Of course, most of the time it was Wu Xie who spoke unilaterally.

After learning that Chi Yu had never been to Hangzhou before, Wu Xie changed the content of the conversation to introducing him to the local situation in Hangzhou in detail and recommending tourist attractions.

Chi Yu sat opposite him, listening quietly to Wu Xie's narration, thinking that although the other party's martial arts skills were not very good, he had good literary talent. Compared with nine out of ten illiterate people in the tomb-robbing business, at least he could make him feel more comfortable getting along with him.

However, this evaluation is only about daily life.

If one day Chi Yu found out that Wu Xie was in the team that was leading the Lama, he would definitely run as far away as possible.

After Wu Xie finished introducing the attractions in Hangzhou, the topic suddenly turned to Chi Yu, because the other party had always been curious about Chi Yu, who looked not much older than him, but had a very sophisticated demeanor.

"If you're asking about my age, I'm actually a lot older than you think." Chi Yu has become accustomed to this kind of thing. Although he will still complain when necessary, at least he is calm when facing it.

But Wu Xie obviously didn't believe it, and for the first time he looked at Chi Yu with suspicion.

So Chi Yu chose to take out the newly purchased ID card from the system backpack, and looked at the other party with satisfaction as he held the ID card and fell into deep thought over the numbers on it.

It was at this time that the waiter brought all the dishes they ordered.

Chi Yu glanced at Wu Xie who was still in deep thought, bent his fingers slightly, tapped the table twice as a reminder, then stretched out his serving chopsticks and took a bite of fish for himself.

"This fish..."

Chi Yu hummed, put down his chopsticks, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Wu Xie then came back to his senses and remembered that the other party was not a native of Hangzhou. Although he liked to eat fish, he might find it difficult to adapt to the taste here.

So he said "Ah", and asked Chi Yu with a somewhat annoyed expression: "Are you not used to the taste?"

"Indeed, this taste is a bit too sour for me."

Chi Yu took another sip of tea, lowered his eyes, and looked at the fish that seemed to be unwilling to close its eyes in death.

“I like it sweeter.”
