I would rather be a wild flower under the fence than a rose that receives favor. Instead of flattering and stealing the favor of others, it is better to be despised by everyone. - Shakespeare's "Nothing to Worry"

——————————————————

Cheng Mo stopped in front of the dining table covered with white lace tablecloth. The waiter standing in the rectangular shape quickly handed him a plate and fork.

Cheng Mo took the tableware from the waiter in a shirt and waistcoat, thanked him, and began to wander among the many fruits, vegetables and various cold dishes that dazzled him.

At this moment, almost everyone was watching the talent show they brought on the edge of the lawn. Cheng Mo was the only one standing in front of the long white dining table, so he looked particularly eye-catching. Fortunately, everyone was watching the show and no one paid attention.

this direction.

If it were another person, he would definitely not do this. After all, it would be impolite to be seen and a bit embarrassing, but for Cheng Mo, he never cares about any looks, and this is a relaxing time.

However, Xie Minyun, the instigator who brought him here, did not let him wander around the dining table happily alone.

When Xie Minyun walked into the crowd from the piano, she saw Cheng Mo standing next to the laurel tree. She had been looking for the thin figure she used as an excuse just now, but she never found it. Now that she saw him, she naturally wanted to step forward.

Let’s explore why he agreed to Du Leng’s invitation and why grandpa looked at this child differently.

In Xie Minyun's senses, people like Cheng Mo should be conceited and proud. How could he agree to Du Leng's invitation?

Xie Minyun didn't care that Du Leng was playing violin music at the moment. In Du Leng's sight, he quietly walked around to the edge of the crowd and walked to the dining table in the middle of the lawn. At this time, Tongtong with a messy hair was also gnashing his teeth.

Cheng Mo walked away.

As a result, the wheel of fate began to rotate silently, and each protagonist threw an unpredictable future towards God.

But at this moment, in anyone's eyes, this is just a trivial matter, not even as important as a piece of steak on the table or a glass of cocktail on the bar.

As everyone knows, our lives are pieced together from these scattered fragments.

It's just that ordinary people always ignore those tiny details that are difficult to detect, thinking that this is the so-called fate.

Xie Minyun walked up to the table and took the white porcelain plate and silver tableware from the waiter. Her white arms shone in the sun as well as the tableware. Xie Minyun could see Cheng Mo's plate out of the corner of her eye.

There were green papaya, avocado, a little German tuna salad and a piece of collection-grade Iberian ham. She said calmly without turning her head: "The fruit is served with Serrano ham and Italian prosciutto. I have never seen it before."

Someone paired it with Iberian ham like this..."

Cheng Mo had already memorized Xie Minyun's very recognizable voice through the song "Beauty and the Beast", so he didn't look at Xie Minyun. He just said "Oh" and then said: "Thank you for the advice, but you don't care.

It's the taste, what I care about is balance, saturated fatty acids will greatly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease..."

"As you like!" Xie Minyun didn't think that a small piece of ham could cause much harm to the body. She thought it was just Cheng Mo trying to defend herself.

Of course, although Cheng Mo actually guessed that what was on the plate was Iberian ham, he didn't really know how to eat such expensive things. He just considered that no matter how expensive and delicious, this kind of cured fat would be delicious.

I can’t eat more, but since I’m here, I still have to try the legendary Iberian ham. After all, he is absolutely reluctant to buy a whole piece of collection-grade Iberian ham for 1500 to 2000 euros, so

He asked the waiter to cut a small slice and paired it with fruits that could neutralize saturated fatty acids.

Xie Minyun straightened her body, raised the plate, and signaled to the waiter. The waiter picked up the wooden tongs, put several slices of salmon on her plate, and said in a calm tone: "I guess you don't know how to do it."

Come."

Cheng Mo also responded in a calm tone, "Why don't you come if you have food, drink, and food? I'm neither stupid nor arrogant."

Xie Minyun raised his eyebrows, "Really? Then you should thank me."

Cheng Mo said calmly: "I really have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't think I would have made ten thousand yuan so easily."

Xie Minyun frowned, "Ten thousand yuan? What do you mean?"

Cheng Mo pretended to be surprised and showed a little bit of pride and said: "Oh? You don't know? Didn't Senior Du Leng tell you? In order to invite me to come, he not only went to our class three to visit the thatched cottage, but also promised to give it to me as long as I came.

Ten thousand yuan...or cash..."

As a supporting role, you must have the consciousness to set off the protagonist. As a supporting role, you must be able to get the expensive lunch in your hand.

Cheng Mo is very aware of the role he plays.

Xie Minyun had no idea that Cheng Mo came for this reason. It was not that she couldn't understand that ten thousand yuan was a huge amount for ordinary students, but it was completely different from what she imagined Cheng Mo would be.

In her mind, Cheng Mo should be a talented man like Cheng Yongze, who is knowledgeable, experienced in the world, and has no regard for the fireworks of the world. He is definitely not a person who would give up for five buckets of rice.

The reason why Xie Minyun became interested in Cheng Mo was that, firstly, Cheng Mo was highly praised by her grandfather, and her grandfather Wang Shanhai was the person she respected the most in her heart; secondly, naturally, it was Tong Yan who said she wanted to marry Cheng Yongze when she was young.

.

However, the person in front of her seemed to be completely different from her imagination, which made her feel that Cheng Mo was not worthy of the attention of her grandpa, who was more ambitious than him, nor was he worthy of being regarded as the son of Yongze, a tiger father.

Xie Minyun thought to himself: It's too early to draw a conclusion at this moment. We need to test it more. Xie Minyun was about to speak when a voice as crisp as an oriole rang out: "Senior Minyun, long time no see..."

Xie Minyun looked up and saw a girl with fluffy hair and black-rimmed glasses standing on the other side of Cheng Mo. He took a closer look and couldn't remember who the other person was. He could only say in confusion: "You...

Who are you....."

Tongtong smiled sweetly, winked at Xie Minyun and said, "I am Yan Yitong..."

Xie Minyun was stunned for a moment when she heard the name, recalled it carefully, and then said with some surprise: "Are you Yan Funing's sister?"

Tongtong smiled and nodded, "Yes!"

The Xie family and the Yan family are not close friends, but their relationship is not bad. However, the Yan Yitong in her memory is not so ordinary and... out of the ordinary. The last time she remembered seeing Yan Yitong, he was still quiet, well-behaved and delicate.

A little girl, she didn’t expect that when she grew up, she would become far less beautiful than when she was a child. She smiled slightly and said, "Long time no see. I remember seeing you and your brother at Mr. Yan’s house in Beijing when I was in junior high school...

...Is your brother okay now?"

"It's not the same as before, studying for postgraduate studies at Imperial College..."

Seeing the two of them exchanging greetings across his own screen, Cheng Mo took the opportunity to turn around and wanted to leave this place of right and wrong. Unexpectedly, he didn't expect to recognize Tongtong, who didn't even know him. He grabbed his arm and said happily: "Senior Sister Minyun also knows me."

This kid? He was really into listening to you singing just now..."

Cheng Mo had been weak since he was a child, and he had a fork and a plate in his hand. He didn't dare to break away from Yan Yitong's clutches. He could only frown and turned to look at Yan Yitong and said, "I don't know you, why are you holding me?"

Yan Yitong pretended to be cute and said coquettishly: "But I know you! Why are you so stingy? You have no gentlemanly demeanor at all."

Xie Minyun also turned her attention to Cheng Mo. She never thought that Cheng Mo would actually interact with Yan Funing's sister Yan Yitong. As for Yan Yitong's words just now about Cheng Mo's input when he heard singing, she didn't take it to heart. Not being input is what matters.

There is something wrong with appreciating taste.

Cheng Mo's understanding of women is still one-sided and superficial. He imitated TV dramas and novels, and said with a disgusting and arrogant look: "What is a gentleman? What is a villain? If virtue is greater than talent, then you are a gentleman, if talent is greater than virtue, then you are a villain.

.I am a talented person, and my virtue is far from matching my talent. Naturally, I can only be a villain... Is there a problem?"

It's a pity that Cheng Mo knows everything, but he doesn't quite understand women's thoughts. When a man exaggerates, he will naturally be disgusted by women. When a man speaks truthfully, his arrogance is admirable and aloof.

.

When Yan Yitong heard Cheng Mo's words, he also faked a contemptuous smile and said: "Hey! "Zizhi Tongjian" is out! Since you have the nerve to say that you are talented, how about I test you?"

Cheng Mo turned his head away and said, "Boring."

At this time, Yan Yitong saw Du Leng and Cheng Xiao coming over, so he raised his voice slightly and said, "You see, you don't have any talent to show off. Wouldn't it be better to give you a chance to show off to your sweetheart?"

Cheng Mo lowered his head and glanced at Yan Yitong, who held his arm tightly with one hand. Obviously he didn't intend to let him go so easily. He didn't know when he had offended this devil-like girl, but he really didn't know how.

This was the first time in his sixteen years of life that he had to deal with the entanglement of women. As for the experience that the carrier state provided him, it was not applicable at this moment, because in the carrier state, he only had to look at those women and they would melt.

, then he would drag him on and on so shamelessly. Seeing Du Leng and Cheng Xiao coming over, Cheng Mo, who had no other choice but to ask, "Should I let go as soon as I answer the question?"

Yan Yitong smiled slyly and said: "Let go as soon as you answer it... If you can't answer it... I won't embarrass you, I will just answer one question until you answer it... I think you should

You’re not so stupid that you can’t answer a single question, are you?”

"You come up with the question." From then on, another list of people who must be avoided was added to Cheng Mo's list.

Du Leng, who had already approached the three of them, interrupted and said, "Why are you talking so happily?"

Yan Yitong showed a harmless smile and said: "Cheng Mo boasted in front of Senior Sister Minyun that he was talented, talented, and knowledgeable... I think we should give him this opportunity to show off in front of his sweetheart, so I plan to

Give him questions to test him."

Du Leng glanced at Cheng Mo, but did not show any concern. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun say in unison: "Don't mix him (her) with..."

The two of them heard each other's voice and stopped talking at the same time. If they spoke in unison at the beginning was a coincidence, then the simultaneous interruption of sentences now must be said to be a tacit understanding.

Du Leng originally didn't take the words of Yan Yitong, a quirky little girl, to heart, but at this moment he couldn't help but take a look at the baby-faced Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun standing side by side with him. When he saw Xie Minyun compare to Cheng Mo

It was a little taller, and when the two people didn't make eye contact, I thought in my heart: I'm thinking too much, Min Yun can't fall in love with this little kid.

So Du Leng smiled slightly and broke the embarrassment between the two of them and said: "In this case, let's give a chance. Tongtong will pose a question, and we will all participate in answering it... Anyway, as for answering the question, I

I also have some experience!”

Cheng Xiao, who was smiling brightly next to Du Leng, was looking at Yan Yitong and Cheng Mo with great interest. The two people looked somewhat similar today. They were also dressed casually and wore black-rimmed glasses.

But the sharp-eyed Cheng Xiao could tell at a glance that Cheng Mo was really ordinary, while Tong Tong beside him was just pretending.

What Cheng Xiao is curious about is why Tongtong must associate Cheng Mo with Xie Minyun. The two of them obviously don't seem to match each other. Although she is not a person who likes to judge people by their appearance, as someone in the entertainment industry, she has seen too much.

Handsome boys and handsome men actually have no feelings for handsome ones, but the gap between Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun is a bit too big. The key is that they don't match each other.

Cheng Xiao was observing Cheng Mo and Yan Yitong. When he saw Du Leng saying that everyone was participating in answering questions, he quickly waved his hands and said: "I'm the worst at this, don't count me in. Just answer it and I'll listen..."

.”

Du sneered and said: "It doesn't matter whether it counts or not. I don't think anyone can answer Tongtong's questions... This girl is usually very tricky... If she really wants to deliberately embarrass others,

It is estimated that the person who was in trouble had to vomit three liters of blood..."

Yan Yitong said: "Brother Du, please don't ruin your reputation. I, Tongtong, have always been eager for justice and righteous, well-behaved and smart. When did I become cunning?"

Du Leng clasped his hands helplessly and said, "Okay! I was wrong. Please forgive me, Miss Tongtong..."

Yan Yitong grabbed Cheng Mo's arm and said in a strange and low voice: "Then listen carefully, I will ask the first question. One day, Mr. A suddenly received a secret letter, which read:

We will meet at a church in the suburbs at midnight tonight. Mr. A went to the church from home as promised in the evening. When he looked up and saw the dome of the church and the crescent moon, he heard footsteps behind him. As soon as he turned around, he was

He fell to the ground. He was found dead the next day."

Yan Yitong paused and said: "Then here comes the question! Excuse me! Did Mr. A vote for Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the presidential election?"
