This sentence intuitively conveyed a message to Xia Shuzhu that Lin Ze knew Ruth. In other words, Ruth and Lin Ze were simply old acquaintances.
Judging from the complicated expressions on the two people's faces, it seems that some past events unknown to outsiders have happened.
The reason why Xia Shuzhu was surprised was because she knew that Ruth's identity was extraordinary. It was indeed a surprising thing for her that Lin Ze could know Ruth.
But Han Xiaoyi didn't know Ruth's identity. In her opinion, it was just Lin Ze meeting a beautiful foreign woman.
"Long time no see." Ruth said in pure English.
"Just sit here." Lin Ze smiled at Han Xiaoyi.
Han Xiaoyi nodded slightly and sat down in the cafe.
The afternoon sun shines through the white curtains and shines on the faces of this man and three women. They are all beautiful and radiant. But each of them has an incomprehensible expression on their face.
A cup of coffee, a packet of sugar, and a cup of milk.
Mix together to create a sweet and mellow flavor.
But when these three women were together, Lin Ze felt uncomfortable all over. Coffee and milk could be stirred together to create a sweet taste. However, the gathering of women who should not be mixed together only made Lin Ze's mouth full of bitterness.
Lin Ze lowered his head slightly and stirred the coffee. But Ruth stared at him meticulously, very bluntly, very naked. She didn't even realize how impolite it was to stare at a man with such eyes, especially when there was someone beside her.
Two equally outstanding and beautiful women——
Theoretically, women in the Western world are more open-minded than Eastern women, but such behavior involves politeness and personal cultivation. No matter who it is, it is inappropriate to stare at a man so impolitely.
But who is Ruth?
An unsmiling woman, a lonely and indifferent super female agent. Her life is too simple and too complicated, and she doesn't have much time to care about the eyes of others. What she wants to do and how she does it all depends on her mood.
So even though Xia Shuzhu and Han Xiaoyi thought it was a bit rude of her to stare at Lin Ze like this, she didn't care at all.
Lin Ze couldn't help but have a silent, bitter smile on his lips, took a sip of coffee, slowly raised his head and said, "You'll make me embarrassed if you look at me like that."
After hearing this, Ruth withdrew her burning eyes and said calmly: "I didn't expect you to be shy."
"I am a pure man." Lin Ze said righteously. "Shyness is my instinct."
Ruth pursed her lips and stared at Lin Ze's not-so-handsome face with a complex expression. After a long time, she asked with great concern: "How are you doing lately?"
She actually asked Lin Ze in pure Chinese. It was very standard, more beautiful and recognizable than many Mandarin with local accents.
Xia Shuzhu stared at Ruth blankly, wondering when she learned Chinese, or in other words, she had learned Chinese before she knew him, but she had never revealed it.
Lin Ze raised his eyebrows slightly and said jokingly: "I'm definitely better than you."
Ruth smiled, not at all angry at Lin Ze's embarrassing words.
"What did you come to China for?" Lin Ze asked.
"There is a mission." Ruth said simply.
Lin Ze stopped stirring the coffee and looked at Xia Shuzhu with a strange look in his eyes.
"She is just a simple friend of mine." Seeing Lin Ze's doubts, Ruth explained.
Xia Shuzhu also said angrily: "Why, can't it be done even if I know a powerful woman?"
"No." Lin Ze shook his head with a smile and said angrily. "It's just that I don't think you can do something that surprises me."
"Stop looking down on others!" Xia Shuzhu snorted coldly.
Lin Ze continued to stir the coffee, his expression calm and calm.
Xia Shuzhu was stunned.
This guy Lin Ze knew Ruth, and judging from Ruth's attitude towards him, she seemed to respect him very much?
Xia Shuzhu didn't know whether this was his own illusion or whether Ruth really showed such an attitude. But no matter what, one thing is certain. Ruth and Lin Ze knew each other and were very familiar with each other. They were like a pair who had not seen each other for many years.
Old friend, the content of the conversation is simple and superficial, but it expresses a deep flavor.
This is definitely not an atmosphere that ordinary friends can create.
Xia Shuzhu stared blankly at Lin Ze, who was concentrating on stirring the coffee, and summoned up the courage to ask: "Lin Ze, how did you and Ruth meet?"
"Are you talking about reality, or -" Lin Ze asked slowly.
"Of course in reality." Xia Shuzhu thought to himself. "Could they be netizens? Impossible. Ruth is not someone who likes to be bored online at all, let alone with a man who doesn't look very outstanding!"
"On the bed." Lin Ze said lightly.
"On the bed?"
Not only Xia Shuzhu was surprised, but Han Xiaoyi, who had always been relatively calm, was also moved.
Even if this guy was a bit corrupt, he wouldn't be so bold as to say such things in front of several women, would he?
Xia Shuzhu felt a strong smell of jealousy in her heart. Han Xiaoyi's face was also full of doubts.
Judging from Lin Ze's attitude towards life and his identity as an agent, he must have experienced many things that ordinary men cannot touch. Thinking from Miss Han Xiaoyi's perspective, even if Lin Ze's previous life was a bit corrupt, she could accept it.
Even though Lin Ze said these words openly, she still felt a little broken: Isn't this dead beast too arrogant?
One of the two women was shocked and the other collapsed. On the contrary, Ruth, the person involved, had a calm face, but there was a hint of intolerance in the corner of her eyes.
"Xia, don't ask anymore." Ruth began to communicate in Chinese and asked. "Can you let me talk to him alone?"
Xia Shuzhu bit her lip, glared at him angrily, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll go back to school first. If you need anything, call me anytime."
"Thanks."
As soon as Xia Shuzhu left, Ruth's eyes fell on Han Xiaoyi's delicate face.
"He is my personal bodyguard." Han Xiaoyi held Lin Ze's arm and said unwilling to let go. "If I leave, he will follow me."
"Have you changed your profession to be a bodyguard?" Ruth looked confused.
"It has nothing to do with you." Lin Ze lit a cigarette and said calmly.
Ruth was slightly stunned and then said: "If you don't mind her being here, I don't mind either."
Han Xiaoyi said proudly: "Of course he won't mind, he will tell me everything." After saying that, she looked at Lin Ze with a victorious attitude of returning home, quite a bit of a demonstration.
"I may bring the topic to the detailed description of the bed later -" Lin Ze puffed out a puff of smoke and muttered. "As you said, I have no reservations about you."
"You dead beast!" Han Xiaoyi pinched his arm hard and said dissatisfiedly. "I'll make you look good when you go back to school!"
After saying that, she glared at Ruth with a hostile look on her face, turned around and left the coffee shop.
The originally bustling cafe suddenly became quiet.
During the school lunch break, there are not many guests here. The melodious and soothing music floats into the ears, making people feel rare and relaxed.
Lin Ze stirred coffee and smoked a cigarette, looking the same.
Ruth stared at Lin Ze with a guilty look on her face, and said in a slightly soft voice: "Do you still hate me for what happened back then?"
"No. I'm not that superficial." Lin Ze skillfully flicked the ashes from his cigarette, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. It actually flicked all the ashes into Ruth's coffee cup, and said extremely viciously. "I just keep thinking, like you
How can such a heartless woman still survive to this day? If there is a God, he must be dozing off or on vacation."
Ruth was humiliated by Lin Ze's actions and words, but she was not angry at all and said calmly: "If this makes you feel better, I don't mind."
"Why do you like to stand on the moral high ground?" Lin Ze sneered contemptuously. "Do you have the qualifications?"
"No." Ruth shook her head calmly. But there was a hint of guilt in her eyebrows.
"If I were you, I definitely wouldn't have the energy to sit here, nor can I pretend that nothing happened." Lin Ze said coldly.
"Because I regard you as my friend." Ruth raised her head and said firmly.
"I'm sorry." Lin Ze said with the utmost viciousness. "I just think you are a piece of shit."
Ruth's cold lips that were always pursed finally showed a hint of bitterness, and she said calmly: "I know you won't forgive me, and I don't expect to get your forgiveness."
"Then what are you talking about?" Lin Ze said indifferently.
"I just hope you can understand that that's my job." Ruth explained helplessly.
"Can work make you a wolf-hearted person?" Lin Ze's eyes showed strong hatred. "Can work make you kill your companions? Make you abandon those eighteen lives?"
"For the mission, I can sacrifice anything - bang!"
Before Ruth could say anything, Lin Ze slapped her cheek without any warning, as if it had been carved by the world's top sculptor. Five eye-catching finger prints soon appeared on her rosy face, and scarlet lips overflowed from the corners of her lavender mouth.
Blood. But her expression remained unchanged, staring straight at Lin Ze.
"Beast!" Lin Ze was furious, his face twisted, almost crazy.
