"How about eating fish? I think the carp here is very delicious." Lei Ren suggested.
"I'm afraid of thorns!" Yang Jialan shook his head.
"What about Western food? You girls seem to like this kind of thing very much." Lei Ren thought for a while and asked again.
Yang Jialan continued to refuse: "Have you ever seen a man and three women eating Western food?"
"Then... let's go eat Sichuan food." Faced with a woman who is sincerely trying to embarrass you, Lei Ren really can't think of a better way.
"I'm afraid of spicy food!" Yang Jialan refused again without hesitation.
"..."
A black line grew out of the back of Lei Ren's head. If he could, he really wanted to throw this woman into the African wilderness and let her taste the taste of hunger.
"Okay, Lan Lan." Bai Lin interrupted at the right time, "Let's go have hot pot for lunch."
"Are you feeling distressed?" Yang Jialan glanced at Lei Ren and squinted one eye and joked.
Bai Lin seemed not to hear Yang Jialan's words, turned to Zhou Yan and asked: "Director Zhou, what do you think?"
Zhou Yan shrugged and said "whatever" lightly, but felt a little nervous unconsciously. It seemed that this meal was like...like the Hongmen Banquet...
…
Hongmen Banquet is in the ancient capital, and this is the ghost capital. Although the pronunciation of the two is similar, they are thousands of miles apart. Even if you fly there, it will take an hour or two.
When ordering, Yang Jialan, under Bai Lin's warning, did not embarrass Lei Ren anymore, and took the initiative to order the dishes she and Bai Lin liked, and then gave the recipe to Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan took the recipe, threw it directly in front of Lei Ren without even looking at it, and said expressionlessly: "I'm not familiar with the taste here, please order it for me." Her tone was calm and natural, just like a wife.
I'm telling my husband the same thing.
Lei Ren smiled bitterly and said: "I'm not very familiar with the food here. If I don't order it well..."
"It doesn't matter! As long as it's the food you ordered, I'll be responsible for finishing it." Zhou Yan interrupted, ignoring Lei Ren's surprise.
"..."
Lei Ren looked at Zhou Yan and didn't know what to say. He was glared at by Yang Jialan opposite him, and even he suspected that he was having an affair with Zhou Yan.
"If Director Zhou doesn't know what to order, just order it as we do." Bai Lin said.
"But, I don't know if our tastes are the same." Zhou Yan pondered.
"Of course it's different! How can a director have the same taste as us common people?" Yang Jialan sneered, snapped her fingers at the waiter, and ordered, "Waiter, what delicious food do you have here? My distinguished guest's
I have a picky mouth and it is difficult to import general things.”
"Yes, yes, it's just the price..." The waiter secretly looked at Zhou Yan and others, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but admire Thunder Blade. He thought to himself that he didn't know which rich second generation he was, but he was so lucky and capable.
Dining with three beauties with very different styles at the same time. If it were me, I would be willing to live a few years shorter.
Contrary to what the waiter imagined, Lei Ren did not feel any enjoyment now. Instead, he felt on pins and needles and felt very uncomfortable.
This time, when her friend stood up for her, Bai Lin did not say anything to stop her. She sat there with her eyelids lowered, drinking tea quietly, like an old monk sitting still, unable to hear the sound from outside.
"Okay! Waiter, please order another one according to what's on this recipe." Lei Ren handed the recipe in his hand to the waiter. He didn't want to go hungry and watch this meaningless argument get worse.
strong.
"This..." the waiter looked at Yang Jialan and hesitated.
"That's it! Bring us a pot of fresh orange juice by the way." Bai Lin put down the cup, raised her head and said to the waiter.
The royal sister is the royal sister after all!
Under Bai Lin's gaze, the waiter quickly picked up the pen, filled in a "2" in the number of portions column, then turned and left.
"What a pity. I really want to see what kind of expensive dishes their shop can make." Yang Jialan shook her head and sighed.
"The waiter will come over later. It's not too late to call." Zhou Yan responded not to be outdone.
Although both of them were drinking tea with teacups in hand, and their eyes were fixed on the teacups, the smell of gunpowder in their words could be heard by even a fool. Yang Jialan is a loyal friend, while Zhou Yan is a friend who does not show weakness.
So when Yang Jialan was ready to stand up for Bai Lin, the two inevitably faced each other.
"I don't have that much money, and the government won't pay for me." Yang Jialan said lightly, but inadvertently hit Zhou Yan's weakness.
Sure enough, Zhou Yan's face suddenly darkened and she snorted coldly: "Say it again!"
"I said... don't say good things twice. As long as your ears are not deaf, I believe you can hear it clearly." Yang Jialan said with a smile.
Lei Ren rubbed his temples and looked at the two people who were at war with each other. He felt that this must be the stupidest thing he had done in the ghost capital.
…
As the delicious dishes were gradually put on the table, Zhou Yan and Yang Jialan stopped fighting. They turned their hostility into friendship with a tacit understanding and turned their attention to the food.
"That duck tongue is mine." Seeing Lei Ren scooping up a bunch of good things from the pot, Yang Jialan unceremoniously put her favorite duck tongue into her bowl.
"I think duck tongue is really suitable for you." Zhou Yan couldn't help but sarcastically said when she saw this.
Yang Jialan knew that Zhou Yan was taking the opportunity to mock her for being too talkative, so she slowly finished chewing the duck tongue in her mouth, and said with a calm smile: "The duck tongue is tender and delicious, and it really suits me, just like... just like
This chicken intestine is suitable for you."
Yang Jialan deliberately referred to the duck intestines in Zhou Yan's bowl as chicken intestines, which was nothing more than a mockery of Zhou Yan's small belly and chicken intestines.
"You can't tell the difference between chicken and duck. No wonder you have to pick out the eyeballs when eating fish heads," Zhou Yan countered.
"That's better than people who like to eat pig brain flakes!" Yang Jialan shot back, "It's the shape that makes up for the shape, but I'm afraid that no matter how much you try to make up for it, you can't make up for it."
"That's better than some people who are unaware of themselves and drink orange juice even though they are already oranges." Zhou Yan glanced at Yang Jialan's chest unintentionally, straightened her chest and said calmly.
Yang Jialan is tall and tall, especially her long legs, which are slender and powerful, and often make people's eyes shine. But the only shortcoming is that the two fleshy balls on her chest are underdeveloped, let alone a mature and plump lady like Bai Lin.
Even compared to Zhou Yan, who is not as old as her, she feels inferior.
Undoubtedly, what Zhou Yan just said hit Yang Jialan with pain, and Yang Jialan's face suddenly darkened.
"Although I'm a little smaller, I'm also less affected by gravity. Maybe more than ten years later, someone's balls will turn into water bags, but mine will still be very strong." Yang Jialan said this and changed the subject.
Said, "Besides, I don't have to worry about it losing the nutrition to the brain. Some people have all their nutrition gone, and they still don't know how the brain developed? So, I don't care, whether it's small or small, I
Save cloth for the country.”
Zhou Yan shook her head and said, "If you really don't mind, why do you have to explain so much?"
"..."
Seeing that Yang Jialan was silent, Zhou Yan continued: "But you don't have to worry. I heard people say that things have both innate development and acquired cultivation. If innate development is not good, you can have people cultivate it in the background and have more people massage it."
If you put it down, the effect will be better.”
"Did Director Zhou develop innately or through nurture?" Yang Jialan suddenly asked.
"..." Zhou Yan's face turned red instantly, and she suddenly felt like she had shot herself in the foot.
…
Lei Ren walked out of the hot pot restaurant and felt relaxed. He didn't know how he finished the hot pot.
According to Bai Lin's introduction, Yang Jialan seemed to be the agent of a celebrity. She was usually very busy and rarely returned to the ghost city. But just two days after her vacation, she got a call from the advertising company, and she had to end her vacation early and invest in
into stressful work.
Zhou Yan is also a person who acts resolutely. Although this operation had to be stopped abruptly due to Yan Xiao's accidental death and all clues were lost, she soon became involved in another case and would return to Chengdu that day.
Lei Ren did not leave the Ghost City with Zhou Yan because he promised Bai Lin that he would not go back until he cleaned up the mess for her.
"Zhou Yan..."
"Lanlan, she..."
Lei Ren and Bai Lin spoke at the same time and stopped at the same time, and both of them seemed to want to explain to each other.
"Speak first!" Lei Ren took out a cigarette from his pocket and said to Bai Lin calmly.
Bai Lin said: "Lan Lan is actually a very nice person. She just misunderstood the relationship between the two of us, so she... targeted Director Zhou. There was no malicious intention in itself."
"This is what I want to say. Zhou Yan's temper is indeed a bit irritable, but she is a good person. Kindness, justice, sincerity... these excellent qualities that are almost invisible in most second-generation officials are all present in her.
You can find her." Lei Ren blew out a smoke ring and said with a smile, "I think she is a good friend."
"Just friends?" Bai Lin asked involuntarily after hearing this. As soon as she said the words, her face couldn't help but turn red. She explained in a superfluous way, "I'm sorry, I'm just asking casually. If you feel it's inconvenient, you don't have to."
answer."
"It's nothing..." Lei Ren shook the ashes of his cigarette and said with a faint smile: "She is a good friend, but she is not suitable to be a wife or even a girlfriend."
"Why?" Bai Lin couldn't help but asked in confusion.
Zhou Yan is beautiful, has a good job, and has a good family background. How could such a woman not be suitable as a girlfriend? I am afraid that only Lei Ren would have such an idea.
"Have you ever seen a woman who can't tell the difference between mutton and beef, so she is suitable to be someone else's wife?" Lei Ren looked at Bai Lin and asked.
"..."
A black line streaked across the back of Bai Lin's head. She didn't expect that Lei Ren would find such a sinister reason. However, when she thought of Zhou Yan's embarrassed expression when she thought mutton was beef and was teased by Yang Jialan, she couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Maybe they will have a chance to become good friends in the future.
"Can anyone who can distinguish between mutton and beef be your girlfriend?" Bai Lin suddenly asked.
