As night falls, various buildings in the streets and alleys light up with various colorful neon lights. Through the blending of internal and external lights, it presents an imaginative urban night scene.
This is a very stylish restaurant. The interior is decorated in a very classic Nordic style. Everywhere is full of simplicity and low luxury. When you walk into the restaurant from the door, you can see five tables neatly placed inside.
chairs and a variety of tableware displayed on a pure white checkered tablecloth.
Refer Western Restaurant, this restaurant is located in Taikoo Li North District and ranks 67th in Asia. It mainly specializes in Nordic-style French cuisine. The chef is a Canadian Talib Hudda who speaks Chinese very well. In the catering industry
He is also a famous person.
Accordingly, the cost is quite high. Of course, Lin Qingyuan doesn't care how expensive it is. What he really cares about is the reservation.
Because some of his friends said they wanted to eat at this newly opened Western restaurant, but they might not be able to make a reservation a month in advance. It seems that there are still many invisible wealthy people in Beijing.
But it doesn't matter, because Lin Qingyuan is richer than them, so this is not a problem.
"If I had known that senior brother was going to treat us to a Western dinner tonight, I would have come here in more formal clothes." Zhou Ye sat opposite Lin Qingyuan, glancing around from time to time, slightly raising his lips as if he was complaining or acting coquettishly.
"Everyone else was dressed like a mature woman, but I was the only one who stupidly wore a floral T-shirt and jeans. I really felt out of place..." She spoke in a low voice because the restaurant was very quiet.
She was embarrassed to make loud noises.
"What does this have to do with it? Aren't I dressed casually?" Lin Qingyuan couldn't help laughing.
"Hey senior brother, you are dressed very casually, but they are all expensive!" Zhou Ye said with black lines on his face, "Don't think I can't see that all the clothes and accessories you are wearing cost at least six figures in total.
..”
If you go to the streets, I want to report you!
"Don't worry, I've been to this kind of restaurant many times before, no problem." Lin Qingyuan shrugged and smiled heartily.
"But I don't come very often. We usually go out to eat hot pot or Japanese food..."
"We're not wearing shorts and slippers, what's there to be embarrassed about?" Lin Qingyuan only found Zhou Ye's cautious look amusing.
"How is it possible that there are really people who wear slippers and shorts to eat Western food? Do they like the plot of the novel where they pretend to be cool and slap in the face?" Zhou Ye didn't believe that such people existed anyway.
"Never use your own thinking habits to figure out other people's thoughts. You won't be able to guess."
"Is it like I can't figure you out, senior brother?" Zhou Ye suddenly asked.
"Why do you have to guess someone?" Lin Qingyuan smiled: "I can't guess you either."
"Hey senior brother, I'm like this, isn't it easy to understand?" Zhou Ye darkened his face angrily, but soon his smile bloomed again: "Senior brother, you have filmed so many TV series and movies in the past few years, or
You can probably understand it more or less!"
"Understand what?"
"Brother scumbag!" Zhou Ye pouted.
"I'm not a scumbag..." Lin Qingyuan was a little embarrassed.
Obviously, Zhou Ye saw through his knowingly and deliberately asking questions, but he really didn't know how to handle this matter properly.
Because he does feel melancholy that he can't handle this relationship well, and he actually doesn't want to drag his cute elementary school girl into the complicated network of relationships surrounding him.
It's strange, if it was two years ago, he would definitely not hesitate when faced with this kind of thing.
But time will change a person, and everything that happened in the past two years gave him something called a sense of awe in his heart.
He began to spend more energy thinking about the consequences that all his usual actions and choices would bring to him in the future.
So he made choices time and time again to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, becoming more and more mature and rational.
Lin Qingyuan took a deep breath and began to reflect on whether his life was too stressful as the number of trips abroad and overseas trips increased during this period, and the burdens and expectations he carried became heavier and heavier.
Even after leaving the crew for a short break, I still couldn't completely relax.
Facing Zhou Ye's worried gaze, Lin Qingyuan turned to the waiter and said, "Hello, the food can be served now."
After seeing Lin Qingyuan turn his attention to him again, Zhou Ye said to him very quietly: "Senior brother, I didn't say you were a real scumbag, scumbag is just my mantra, don't worry about it..."
Lin Qingyuan shook his head. He was not angry with Zhou Ye. He just smiled and looked at her and asked: "Xiaoye, do you know when people suddenly fall into deep thought or become angry?"
"When?" Zhou Ye looked at Lin Qingyuan's eyes very seriously, which made her seem to respect and value Lin Qingyuan very much.
"When someone tells you the truth about something and it hurts you." Lin Qingyuan spoke in a calm tone, as if the matter had nothing to do with him at all.
"So...senior brother, you are really a scumbag?"
Lin Qingyuan shrugged noncommittally and let her make up her own mind.
Although Zhou Ye's expression was a little surprised, the degree of surprise was quite limited, as if she had known about this for a long time.
But at the same time, she felt inexplicably happy because of Lin Qingyuan's honesty to her. This was really strange, but she could also really feel his respect for her from Lin Qingyuan's attitude, and she did not take it seriously.
She treats her as a dispensable elementary school girl...
"Why do I feel like you're a little happy?"
Lin Qingyuan's voice not only interrupted Zhou Ye's thoughts, but also made her experience a feeling of shyness spreading throughout her body.
"How could I be happy knowing that my senior brother is a scumbag?" She tried to toughen herself up.
"Yes, I understand." But Lin Qingyuan could clearly see that she was being arrogant.
The waiter quickly brought the appetizers in order of time, seven in total.
They are: caviar flower, Huairou chestnut, bluefin tuna, chicken liver, sheep brain, Dalian sea urchin and Jerusalem artichoke potato soup.
Zhou Ye leaned over curiously and smelled it, and his eyes lit up instantly: "Wow! It's true that it's expensive. I feel that every dish looks so good. No, I have to take pictures first before eating! This
This is my first time to come to a Western restaurant!”
"Good looks don't mean good food. It could also mean that the beauty on the outside is ruined." Lin Qingyuan put down the knife and fork he had picked up in his hand and planned to wait until she finished taking the photo before starting. "But I remember that your family's conditions seem to be relatively good."
Okay, how is it possible that you have never been to a Western restaurant?"
"I really haven't been here before." Zhou Ye shook his head, staring at the screen of his mobile phone, with a smile of Xia Tian's vitality on his face: "A place like a Western restaurant is too quiet, so it is not suitable for coming with friends, so I
I still prefer to go to a hot pot restaurant for dinner.”
"That's it, Xiaoye, do you know?" Lin Qingyuan held up his chin and smiled while looking at Zhou Ye who was taking photos seriously, "Your smile now reminds me of a dish."
"What dish?" Zhou was also looking forward to what kind of answer his senior brother would give.
"This sheep brain." Lin Qingyuan was suppressing a smile.
Zhou Ye was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Lin Qingyuan with resentful eyes, and said coquettishly: "What the hell?! You compared a girl's beautiful smile to a sheep's brain, something so evil...such an indecent thing! Senior brother, what on earth are you doing?
Thought?"
Lin Qingyuan smiled and shook his head, and gave his explanation unhurriedly: "Because the name of this dish is Spring Heart Ripples. Didn't you listen carefully when the dish was served just now?"
"Chun Xin..." Zhou Ye lowered his head shyly.
When the dishes were being served, she kept looking at the senior brother across from her. How could she have the time to pay attention to some insignificant dish names?
But she knew she couldn't be shy at this time, she had to stand up, so...
"I found it quite appropriate!" Zhou Ye suddenly raised his head and smiled openly: "Brother, you are really good at reading people!"
"Is it accurate?" Lin Qingyuan is still used to using the memory of his past life to get to know someone. It is precisely because of this that he knows that many people's private personalities are actually not what he originally imagined.
It’s really childish to use filters to figure out someone.
"Of course it's accurate!" Zhou Ye took some sheep brains and put it into her mouth to chew carefully. This thing was really fishy, but she could only see joy in her eyes. "After all, you are the only one who has noticed me."
I was very afraid of being alone. At that time, you were the only one on the set who was willing to play with me."
"You are such a cheerful and outgoing person that you are afraid of being alone?" Lin Qingyuan was puzzled.
"It's precisely because I'm afraid of being alone that I keep taking the initiative to make friends! Is this hard to understand?" Zhou Ye blinked.
"But aren't there a group of girls who are about the same age as you in the crew?"
"To be honest, I can't get along with them." Not everyone I meet on the set can develop a friendship.
"Then you and I can play together?"
"What else? Senior brother, you called me out on the first night of going to the mountain city and showed up in your vlog!" Zhou Ye smiled matter-of-factly, "The number of followers on my Weibo account is also the same.
With your help, we successfully exceeded the 10,000 mark!"
"So this is repaying a favor!" Lin Qingyuan pretended to be suddenly enlightened.
"It's not to the extent of repaying a favor. It's a bit too formal." Zhou Ye held his chin and looked straight at Lin Qingyuan, who was very close at hand, with longing in his eyes, "But I'm still very grateful to you, senior brother.
You have also taken good care of Congee during this period! Senior brother, you are such a good person."
"Thanks to you, this is the first good person card I have received in my adult life." Lin Qingyuan stirred Jerusalem artichoke and potato soup with a spoon. The vortex formed in the bowl made Lin Qingyuan, who had something on his mind, sink into it.
He felt that he was really scumbag, looking into the pot when he was clearly eating from the bowl.
"Although I want to laugh because I got the first time in my life, senior brother, for no reason, but I am really sincerely grateful to you, senior brother!" Zhou Ye covered his mouth and let out a burst of clear and hearty laughter, winning the first time from his senior brother.
No matter what I say, it’s a good start, great!
Lin Qingyuan slowly raised his head.
"So it was great to get to know my senior last year!"
Under the illumination of the warm white candlelight, the smile that caught Lin Qingyuan's eyes was so bright and generous. The long, smooth black hair fell freely on both sides of the body, and the smiling eyes were like a pair of bright little crescents, giving Lin Qingyuan
It felt like a warm little sun shining on him.
He seemed to suddenly understand something.
"Are there any activities later? How about I take you out to play?"
He decided to follow his heart.
If you miss such a beautiful girl, you may regret it in the future.
