() The western restaurant is not large, with only two rows of dining tables, but the design has been thoughtful. Each table is specially separated by a low screen to create a romantic and private atmosphere.
Because of his standing and angle, Lu Yang followed Yue Zichuan's gaze and happened to see a group of two boys and two girls sitting opposite by the window.
The boy with his back to him is thin and has slightly long hair, with a somewhat artistic flair. The girl next to him has long wavy hair and a sideways apple face, and is talking to the boy.
The boy facing him is an acquaintance, Shao Taiming. The girl next to him has short hair with a medium parting. At first glance, she looks a bit like Haruko Akagi. Although her expression is relatively reserved, her eyes that occasionally look to the side are also gentle and warm.
Lu Yang suddenly had the impression of this girl in his memory, but he couldn't even recall her name.
The princess and Grant had their backs turned and did not notice Shao Taiming and the others. In the western restaurant, their movements and words were much more ladylike, and they became slightly more reserved after sitting down.
Before the two of them realized something was wrong with Yue Zichuan, Lu Yang pulled him to sit down, smiled and motioned to the waiter to pass the menu.
"Hey, what should I eat?"
The princess muttered, and she and Grant quickly focused their attention on the menu. The two of them looked at the double-digit prices with their heads next to each other, their expressions a little hesitant.
At this time, there was a male voice over there asking to sign the order, and the waiter apologized and walked over quickly.
Following the footsteps, an artistic boy with an ordinary face, wearing a red and blue plaid shirt, jeans, and long slanted bangs walked over. When he saw Lu Yang looking at him, his nose wrinkled, and then he took the wavy man next to him.
Fa, an apple-faced girl who looks a bit like Li Xiaolu comes over.
Shao Taiming, who was following behind the two of them, saw Lu Yang, his expression was stunned, and then he was filled with embarrassment and disgust.
'Akagi Haruko' had been paying attention to Shao Taiming's reaction. She glanced at Lu Yang, rolled her eyes, and smiled at Yue Zichuan beside him and said hello.
"Yue Zichuan, long time no see. I didn't see you during the summer vacation."
"I...I went to grandpa's place."
Face to face with 'Akagi Haruko', Yue Zichuan's slightly pale face turned red, his eyes were evasive, and he was speechless.
Realizing that they had met acquaintances, the artistic boy and the apple-faced girl automatically stopped and turned around to find the two girls opposite Lu Yang.
When the artistic boy saw the princess, he seemed to suddenly wake up and his lazy eyes became lively as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on a sun-burned person.
Shao Taiming also saw the princess at this time. Before the girl turned around in surprise, her face turned red and she smiled. She looked at Lu Yang tenderly, which quickly dimmed his expression.
'Akagi Haruko' obviously also noticed the change in Shao Taiming, and frowned. She originally just asked Yue Zichuan politely, but then she looked like a smile but not a smile, looked at the slightly embarrassed princess, and quickly glanced at her expression.
Calm Lu Yang.
"Hey, Princess Grant, what a coincidence, you are also here to eat?"
"It's quite a coincidence, hello."
After the princess simply nodded in reply, she glanced at Shao Taiming, then looked at Lu Yang with a flustered expression. She found that he smiled back at her, and her uneasiness calmed down.
Grant seemed to dislike seeing 'Akagi Haruko', and curled his lips and said: "Bi Qianqian, this restaurant is not owned by your family, why don't we come to have a meal?"
"Glen, your aggressive character has not changed."
Unlike others of the same age, Bi Qianqian's response was quite mature. She smiled without getting angry, pointed at the artistic boy, and said: "Princess, you should have an impression of this. My cousin Fan Yanbo, this shop was opened by his mother.
"
Grant's cock-fighting expression was immediately suppressed, and he turned his head away in frustration and stopped talking.
Fan Yanbo, a literary boy, put aside the unhappy apple-faced girl beside him, walked up and said with a smile: "Princess, welcome to my mother's shop. You haven't ordered yet. The black pepper steak here is very good. Go and order it."
Four shares, charge it to my account."
Ever since he met the princess at Shao Taiming's family dinner in the summer, Fan Yanbo has been thinking about it. This little beauty also has the potential to compete for the school beauty throne in Chongxian Middle School.
It's just that his brother Shao Taiming has publicly stated that he wants to pursue the princess. Fan Yanbo relies on his own aloofness, so of course it's not easy to interfere anymore.
Shao Taiming has been looking depressed in the past few days. He originally secretly liked his cousin Bi Qianqian, but his mood has turned cloudy during this time.
Only then did Fan Yanbo realize that Shao Taiming had been eliminated because the princess's childhood sweetheart had left.
Unlike Shao Taiming, who relies on his appearance and grades, Fan Yanbo, although not good-looking, has good grades, loves painting, and can write some poetry. The name Fan Yanbo is still famous.
In addition, Fan Yanbo's family background is not bad in Chongxian Middle School. He usually has a lot of pocket money and there is no shortage of girls around him.
Now seeing the beautiful little beauty in front of him, Fan Yanbo's heart moved and he wanted to leave a good impression on the princess.
"Please wait."
Lu Yang spoke up to stop the waitress, and then he ignored the stunned Fan Yanbo and just smiled at the opposite person and asked: "Fei'er, are you familiar with each other?"
When Lu Yang spoke up, the princess looked at him with worry on her face. Fan Yanbo was acquainted by her mother when she took her to attend Shao Taiming's banquet. It was just a one-on-one relationship and they never exchanged a word with each other.
But don’t misunderstand again...
The princess was filled with worries. Lu Yang's words "concubine" made her big eyes widen even wider in an instant. There was a faint feeling of moisture in her eyes. It took a lot of effort to stop the tears that might have rolled down when she shook her head.
It was the first time in more than two years that the princess heard this authentic title. The princess felt that the clouds had cleared and the mist had dispersed, and she couldn't help but dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth.
The princess's innocent and beautiful appearance, which seemed like she was crying but actually smiling, made Fan Yanbo's expression visibly stunned, and then he felt a little embarrassed.
Is this pretty girl with a charming expression the little beauty’s childhood sweetheart?
"Classmate Fan, it's not appropriate to ask you to spend money."
Lu Yang's words successfully made Fan Yanbo's face cool down. He didn't care and said directly: "Thank you for your recommendation, but I prefer Sirloin. Please..."
"Sir, I'm sorry," the waitress hurriedly interrupted Lu Yang and said with an embarrassed face, "We don't have sirloin steak."
In 1995, relatively professional names such as Filet Sirloin became popular along the coast. However, in Zhongshan, so-called Western restaurants were still a no-brainer, especially in remote suburbs like Yudeng Town, where not many people would go.
When studying steaks, it is more common to classify them by taste.
Lu Yang's expression was slightly astonished. He picked up the menu and opened it. Sure enough, the steaks in it were all called black pepper, mushrooms, and of course the special spicy and spicy flavors of Chongshan.
"Then two mushroom steaks, two black pepper steaks, medium-rare, two pastas, garlic and meat sauce, two paellas, four different fruit salads, I want lemon black tea for drinks, and you want
What? Like me? It’s better for girls to drink nai tea, two cups of lemon black tea, two cups of nai tea, and for dessert, just two servings of vanilla ice cream and two servings of cheesecake.”
Lu Yang closed the menu and handed it to the stunned waitress next to him. Seeing that she didn't move, he could only frown and said: "Please hurry up, we are all a little hungry."
The waitress came back to her senses and looked at Fan Yanbo with a pitiful expression. Seeing him nodding slightly, she went to the kitchen as if she was amnesty.
Seeing Fan Yanbo, Shao Taiming and others standing stupidly and not leaving, Lu Yang was about to say something like, 'Aren't you full yet? Why don't we eat some more together, I'll treat you.' or something like that, so as to push them away.
Bi Qianqian frowned slightly and asked in a confused tone: "Are you the king?"
The other party actually knows the nickname of his old factory?
Lu Yang was truly stunned this time. He looked at 'Akagi Haruko' in confusion and asked, "Do you know me?"
After talking so much, Lu Yang felt a little thirsty, so he took the water glass.
Bi Qianqian looked dumbfounded, shook her head and said, "It seems you have completely forgotten me. I was your concubine in the nursery."
After hearing this, Lu Yang forced himself to swallow a mouthful of water that almost spurted out.
Looking at the princess who was blushing and having a clear expression across from him, and Ge Lan who was confused about the situation, Lu Yang looked at the indifferent Yue Zichuan next to him, and finally remembered the origin of Bi Qianqian.
The children of dual-employee workers in state-owned enterprises were sent to nurseries from an early age. Lu Yang was the king and hegemon in the nursery when he was a child. When he was in the first class, he had already proclaimed himself a king. Male and female friends all had their own titles. For example, Yue Zichuan was the prime minister at the time, and among the girls, except the princess, she was the queen.
, there were also several noble concubines, but most of them he had long forgotten their names.
The Bi Qianqian in front of me was one of the noble concubines in the distant nursery school memory. However, after the first grade of elementary school, due to her father's job transfer, the family left the Red Shipyard, but for some reason she still had entanglements with Yue Zichuan.
"Qianqian, let's go."
Shao Taiming, who had been silent all this time, seemed a little worried at this time. He greeted Bi Qianqian, turned around and walked outside.
Bi Qianqian could only look at Lu Yang with a half-smile but not a smile, then looked at the princess thoughtfully, turned around and chased him out.
Fan Yanbo's expression was still a little unwilling at first, but at this time he had no choice but to leave angrily, and the apple-faced girl hurriedly followed him.
Ge Lan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly burst into gossip and shouted at Lu Yang, "Lu Yang, what's going on with your relationship?"
Lu Yang shook his head and said helplessly: "I don't know, Fei'er, what's going on?"
"I……"
The princess blushed and said, "That Fan Yanbo is Bi Qianqian's cousin. I met him last time at Shao Taiming's house. I'm really not familiar with him."
Lu Yang stared at Ge Lan who was stunned and started to snicker. He said to the princess at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "I didn't ask you this, what happened to Bi Qianqian?"
"Bi Qianqian?"
The princess then woke up and realized that she had just been like a little daughter-in-law explaining to her jealous husband. Her face turned red and she quickly talked about Bi Qianqian.
When she first came down, Bi Qianqian was in the same class as Princess Yue Zichuan. Only then did she find out that when she was a child, her father was transferred to Shuanghe Factory, and now he is also at the leadership level of the factory. She is very familiar with Shao Taiming and Li Dongyu's Shuanghe Factory classmates. Last year she went to Heavy Industry
After I went to the county middle school, I had less contact."
So that's it. Lu Yang glanced at Yue Zichuan, who had been silent beside him and stared at the table blankly.
