a meal

The Da Hua Hotel was full of whispers.

When the lights on the street first came on, there was a bit of fog at night, and the window sash was wet, blurring the shadow of the neon light, but it looked even more bizarre.

Most of the people sitting in the restaurant are blond men and women, most of them are from White Russia. I heard that the revolution in the north was fierce, and many White Russian nobles came south to China to avoid disaster like wild geese. Therefore, such foreign restaurants naturally gradually increased.

Under the shadow of the dim light, the sound of metal, glass, and porcelain colliding staggered from time to time. A blond attendant was leading the two guests through these lights and sounds to a booth near the window. It was Cheng Nian and Ling Xiao who came.

The waiter brought the menu, and Cheng Nian naturally handed it to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao didn't refuse, opened the menu, and first browsed silently with a little nostalgia.He naturally thought that when he was still the young master of the Shen family, he often went out to restaurants with his father and tasted some foreign food.

Those times now have faded to the point that he can't even remember them.Slightly lost in thought, he took a deep breath, feeling a little sorry for the past.His eyes wandered, and finally he settled on the steak, potato, ice cream and soda.

Cheng Nian looked at Ling Xiao like this, but felt more and more that he was not worthy of this name.Of course he knew that this was a flower name in the hall, but it was difficult for him to associate the young man in front of him with that kind of extremely beautiful flower.Ling Xiao himself has revealed that he doesn't like this name, and he really wants to tell Ling Xiao at this time: He does too.

Ling Xiao raised his head, and saw Cheng Nian staring at his ecstatic face.It suddenly occurred to me that a guest invited me to dinner for the first time, did I do too much to overwhelm the host?He hurriedly handed the menu back to Cheng Nian, and said a little embarrassedly: "Second Lord, what do you want to eat? Order it, and I will follow you."

Only then did Cheng Nian come back to his senses, he suddenly felt that Ling Xiao's eyes seemed to be filled with dazzling colors.Sun Ran laughed at himself, but said, "This is not the first time you have eaten Western food. You can order whatever you like. We may have different tastes."

"Then I'll order it." Ling Xiao got permission, and whispered to Belarus one by one what he had just thought about.

"who are you?"

After ordering, Cheng Nian opened his mouth before the atmosphere became embarrassingly staring at each other.

"Who am I?" Ling Xiao looked at him with smiling eyes, while guessing what kind of answer he wanted to hear. The next moment, he didn't want to guess, so he asked directly: "Second Lord wants to hear Which kind?"

Cheng Nian lowered his head and smiled, but there was some amusement in his raised eyes, "Are there any real or fake ones here?"

"For you..." Ling Xiao lowered his head, his eyes fell on the tablecloth, and a fragment of memory flashed in his mind, "I don't want to talk about you for the time being."

"A burden?" Cheng Nian said with a narrow smile.

Ling Xiao also laughed, "If the second master likes to listen to things that are burdensome, next time we have to invite a gentleman from a teahouse!"

Cheng Nian: "You are not very old, so you are not very honest."

"Unexpectedly?" Ling Xiao's eyes widened with a curious expression.

"Why isn't it 'unexpectedly'?" Cheng Nian reached out and grabbed Ling Xiao's hand on the table, the delicate knuckles looked as beautiful as lotus root buds, "Brother Xiao said last night 'I dare not forget', but today Don't worry about it anymore. Sure enough, you don't like me, Qiu Ba, so ruthless!"

Ling Xiao withdrew his hand with a smile, feeling sorry for his coy manner, "It turns out that the second master is used to coaxing people, it seems that the second master has more burdens, I don't know how many girls and young masters have I said these words repeatedly? "

Cheng Nian smiled: "It's sour and vinegary."

The food is here.

Gentleman Cheng Nian put the knife and fork on for Ling Xiao, and finally put the small fork on the left.

Ling Xiao smiled and spread the small fork on the top of the plate, then cut a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, squinting his eyes in satisfaction, thinking: This place really tastes better than the restaurants in the town.

"I heard that I'm your first one." Hearing that Ling Xiao put down the knife and fork, his expression was slightly solemn, and Cheng Nian continued to say, "You don't look like Chunxitang who came here to make ends meet. I don't have the ignorance of a country boy in every gesture, and I'm rougher than you..."

Staring at the little fork on the table, Ling Xiao frowned slightly, only feeling a ray of boredom drifting in his heart, "Second master is such a thorough person, it's my luck to be seen by him." He added, "This Not only did I say that, even my mother said so." But...

Ling Xiao couldn't continue.

A child of his age said he was not young, but he also talked about a little shame.Although he has drifted with the tide, he still doesn't want others to know his past, and compare his past with the present.Isn't this a joke?It's enough for him to perform, how can he let people take pleasure in his own pain?

Ling Xiao can see it openly, but not as openly as Yun Niang in the hall, regardless of whether it is true or not.

"...Are you a son of some family, and you were harmed?" Unexpectedly, Cheng Nian changed the subject and said this.

Ling Xiao stared at him with wide eyes and didn't speak.

Cheng Nian also stared at him.

Ling Xiao never expected that he would say such a sentence, but he seemed to have finally caught some light from the night sky. For countless days and nights in his heart, the little lantern that he had extinguished with his own hands seemed to bloom with a faint light again .

yes!He would love to say yes!Would love to shout out yes!yes!yes!I am!

and then?

Father is dead, no relatives, family destroyed.

Whom did he count on, who could come to his rescue?

He didn't expect it to be bright at all, let alone allow it to be bright.Otherwise, how can we survive the wind and rain in this world?

He suddenly remembered that he had never cried since he was knocked unconscious until he was abducted here.

Can not go back.

He had let them buy and sell him since he opened his eyes on the train going north, because he knew there was no home.

"Hehe," Ling Xiao wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then threw it on the table. After all, the napkin was very light, which concealed his emotions. He smiled as mischievously as before eating, "Second Master, I am. You Please save me quickly!"

Music was played in the restaurant, melodious, passionate, and the sound of the music drifted slowly, like a warrior full of loyalty and glory. The warrior swung his knife to the sky and the earth, split the cage of fate, and waited for tomorrow to break through the clouds——

The Warriors of Elijah.

This is the song they heard at the gate of the hall.

It is so different.

Just like Cheng Nian's answer.

"Row!"

He said.

Ling Xiao was really stupid, but at the same time he felt the fear from the bone marrow.I hope this thing—you don’t need to see blood to kill someone.

What kind of person is Cheng Nian?

He saw the slightest but understood the great righteousness, and Ling Xiao's performance fell into his eyes during this night's observation.

He can be sure that Ling Xiao was not arranged to be followed by him; at the same time, he can be sure that Ling Xiao is indeed not from a lowly family background, and this little fool is probably killed by someone.

"Eat it. Huh?" Cheng Nian said, "It doesn't taste good when it's cold, little thing!"

Ling Xiao calmed down a little, pretending to be indifferent, not debating the confusing authenticity, but still slightly annoyed, said: "Don't call me like a child!"

Cheng Nian smiled: "Aren't you just a child?"

For some reason, he was suddenly a little happy——Ling Xiao, he can indeed be different.
